A/N Polls+Reviews are in. 7 for update as I go and 3 for finish story, then update. I wasn't expecting a lot of votes but thanks to those who voted. Most likely you'll get a chapter every 2 weeks. Also thanks to toe walker and DeathMatchDrunkard for being the only ones giving ideas. They're appreciated but I think i'll stick to my original plan. And to those who are consistent (DeathMatchDrunkard) as well as give critique-and-borderline-rude, echem (DeathMatchDrunkard), and for that person who said that Percy doesn't need to explain himself (guess who it is?), he probably didn't but someone said that Percy overreacted so I had to overexplain in order to balance it out. Get it?, No?; that's fine, neither do I. This is fun, I feel like I can write anything on here cuz nobody's reading it. Blurp. Alright, i'm done.

The next morning Annabeth headed over to the dining pavilion for breakfast. She still hadn't caught sight of Percy since yesterday afternoon and Tyson didn't see him come in the cabin last night.

Oh gods, how did things get so messed up?

The girl in the picture and Percy's reaction left Annabeth frowning. But she could guess who the girl was, Annabeth felt annoyed now; why do they always end up needing help from one of Percy's girlfriends? Not that Rachel was his girlfriend, officially. Ugh, Annabeth shook her head.

"There's no point in thinking about all of that. The past is the past, besides Percy moved on," she said aloud to herself. But the girl wasn't what was bothering her. Percy's changed since his time in Tartarus, and Annabeth doesn't really get it. Sure, she's been in Tartarus and its scarred her for life but she wasn't acting like that.

Oh stop, she thought. He's probably had it worse. You don't know.

Not that he bothered to tell her. Annabeth frowned and stabbed her food. That was her resentment talking, she knew.

Anyway, she had other things to worry about. She had called a private meeting with the crew right after breakfast. Or more accurately, Chiron had. She had gone to him this morning, telling him her dream and how the crew had to leave immediately. Who knew if Percy even got the message? She rolled her food around her plate, not really having an appetite. Piper had tried to talk to her this morning but then looked at Annabeth's face and left after giving Annabeth an encouraging smile. Now Annabeth kinda wished she was here. Annabeth suddenly looked up from her plate; the conch shell was ringing, signaling the end of breakfast. Annabeth rose and threw her food out in the garbage, then headed for the big house.

Turns out Percy did get the message. He was sitting next to Chiron when Piper and the rest of the crew filed in. They were sitting around the oh-so-sophisticated pool table, with Chiron sitting at the middle seat so everyone can see him.

"So," Jason directed at Chiron, leaning forward. "What did you want to talk about Chiron?" Chiron called to attention.

"Actually, not me. Annabeth had a dream last night, foretelling what our next course will be." Now everyone was looking at her. Annabeth swallowed, her mouth dry.

"I had a dream last night, and it showed one of the last giants we need to kill. He's hidden in Mount Othrys and we need to leave as soon as possible," she finished. Annabeth looked around; most of them were soaking all of this in except Piper who looked annoyed; and then there was Leo.

Oh yeah, Annabeth thought, he wanted to relax and party before they went off to another mission. Annabeth gave him a sympathetic look, don't we all.

Then Jason spoke up. "What's the giants name?"

Annabeth paused a moment, remembering then answered, "Mimas, who was defeated by Hephaestus."

"Okay so now we've got a plan, is that all?" Piper asked.

"Wait, what about-" Leo started and then looked discreetly as Percy, and then studied his hands like he's never seen them before. Frank looked at Annabeth too and nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah..." he said, uncertainly.

Annabeth looked at them, amused. So, nobody wants to mention the girl. Probably doesn't want to upset Percy. Or me. When nobody continued, Jason spoke up; impatient.

"Umm, what about the girl? We can't just ignore her," he said, looking at Percy.

Percy threw his hands up, in the silent but universal, "Hey, don't ask me. How am I supposed to know?"

Then he said, "I don't know what we do about her, I'm not the one who suggested for her to come on the quest. What I do know is that her name's Calypso and I don't know where she is, or if she'll even help us," he finished, finally giving the information that they were looking for. Jason frowned.

Not that they might to like that information, Percy thought.

Chiron cleared his throat, catching their attention.

"What I think is supposed to happen is to start off your quest without her and we'll see how it goes from there. If she's meant to help, then I'm sure you'll find her along the way," He rose up from his chair.

"That being said, we will meet again at departure time, which will hopefully be the next day." He took a meaningful glance around and gave an encouraging smile, then stopped; his face turning grim.

"I will inform the camp of your plans and our camps will defend the families in New Rome as well as this Camp. We will defeat whatever monsters get in our way and stand ready if you all have a specific plan for us. Good luck and set an example for them all, work together. If that happens then we are sure to win," he finished with one last smile. Then he clopped out of the room with the others following his example.

Annabeth watched as everyone filed out. Piper grabbed Jason's hand on the way out, Leo was talking to Frank, and Hazel looked like she was deep in thoughts.

I wonder what she's thinking about, Annabeth thought. Then she turned her gaze to Percy, he had his head in his hands a second ago. Now he was walking over to her with an apprehensive look. Their eyes met.

He opened his mouth, "I-". Annabeth stopped him from saying any more and gave a tired smile.

"Let's go grab breakfast for you then," she said deliberately.

Percy gave a tired but grateful smile and grabbed her hand.

"Let's grab something for the both of us," he said. Annabeth suddenly felt extremely hungry.

Huh, Annabeth thought. Amazing how you feel like you can eat a whole pig after you settle an issue.

"Let's," she said as they walked out the door, hand in hand.
