Where is Grover this whole time I wanna know! But ok Rick that's good us kids won't notice. This whole chapter is going to be in Percy's POV.

Word of the bathroom incident spread immediately. Wherever I went, campers pointed at me and murmured something about toilet water. Or maybe they were just staring at Annabeth, who was still dripping wet.

I try to apologize for the toilet incident, telling Annabeth it wasn't my fault. But I knows in my gut that it was my fault.

"Why are you apologizing for something you just said you didn't do?" Baxie asked.

Annabeth rolled her eyes.

"You should talk to the oracle." She said.

"Oracle? Wow, everything that's happened today is just so overwhelming. I just wanna go home, but my mother won't be there anyways." I said.

Baxie pats my back, "There, there. Remember what Chiron said, about this place being the only safe place for kids like us. This is home." She said.

"Yeah, and Percy both your parents aren't gone. You still have you Olympian parent." Annabeth said.

Annabeth tells us that her dad is a human – a professor of American History at West Point. Her mom is Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle. Annabeth tells us she lives in cabin six, Athena's cabin.

"But who is my dad? And what about Baxie she had both her parents so there's no way of telling." I say.

"Your dad might send you a sign claim, but most kids don't get claimed." Annabeth said.

"WHAT?! AFTER ALL I'VE BEEN THROUGH?!" Baxie and I said in unison.

"As for Baxie, like I said she might be an orphan." Annabeth said.

"Pfft, explains a lot." Baxie murmurs.

Annabeth tells us that if we belong to a goddess like Aphrodite or Demeter we might be able to go home after the summer is over. Baxie looks at her like 'me out there? I've fought enough at school never mind in the summer all alone in a school no one will like me at all.' (Yes they knew each other that well) She tells us their force is not as powerful as that of some of the other gods and goddesses, and monsters have a harder time picking up on it.

"In the mortal world, we attract monsters as you've seen. They sense or even smell us at times, like how satyrs can. They come to challenge us. Most of the time, they'll ignore us until we're old enough to cause trouble – about ten or eleven years old, but after that, most demigods either make their way here, or they get killed off. A few manage to survive in the outside world and become famous. Believe me, if I told you the names, you'd know them. Some don't even realize they're demigods. But very few are like that."

"Tell us one then." Baxie said. (This is obviously made up.)

"Taylor Swift, daughter of Apollo." Annabeth said.

I didn't know who she was because there was a types of music I listened to but Baxie knew right away.

"Oh my gODS, NO WAY!" She said.

"Anyways, another thing you guys might not now about the camp border. Monsters and mortals can't get into the camp, but they are already monsters stocked in the forest practice fights. and they can be summoned by someone inside the camp for a practical joke, unfortunately." Annabeth says.

"Wow, you seem to know a long bit of information about the camp. How long have you been here?" Baxie asked

"I'm a year-rounder. I've lived at Camp since I was 7." She said.

Baxie and me looked a mixture of impressed and confused.

Baxie was about to ask a question, I knew it. But it was my turn to ask questions.

"So you never get to leave? What if I want to leave now, would I be able to? Not that I want to." I asked.

"You would need Mr. D's and Chiron's permission to leave, but they won't give you permission until the end of summer unless you get a quest." Annabeth said but she cut herself off when she got to the quest part.

I remember what Annabeth asked me when she was nursing him back to health. I didn't know anything about the summer solstice, but I brought it up anyways.

"When I was still weak after the Minotaur attack you asked me something about the summer solstice. Why?" I asked.

"Something is wrong in Olympus, something pretty major. Last time I was there, everything seemed so normal. Year-rounders like me took a field trip to Mount Olympus during the last winter solstice on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building. Soon after the field trip to Mount Olympus, the weather got really bad as if the gods were fighting. I think something important has been stolen from Mount Olympus, and if it isn't returned by summer solstice, there's going to be trouble." She said

Annabeth is hoping Chiron and Mr. D will grant her quest. She wants to help solve whatever problem is brewing on Mount Olympus.

I am overwhelmed by everything I have heard, and tired and hungry. I leave Annabeth and Baxie thinking on the pier. I return to cabin eleven. Luke asks me how my day went, and I tell him it's been exhausting.

I asks Luke what Annabeth means when she talks about him being "the one," and why Clarisse says that he's not "'Big Three' material."

Luke tells me that Annabeth is desperately hoping to get a quest. Luke says that he messed things up for her when he failed on his quest a few years back to the Garden of Hesperides a few years back. Chiron apparently told Annabeth that he saw her fate, and she wasn't ready for a quest yet. She would be ready when a couple of half-blood arrived. Since hearing that prophecy, Annabeth thinks that every new bunch camper are that couple and that she is ready for her quest.

Dinner time. All campers head to the outdoor dining room for dinner. In all, there were maybe a hundred campers, a few dozen satyrs, and a dozen assorted wood nymphs and naiads.

Baxie and I meet and we got in a line. We got out food and a glass which could make any drink we wanted appear. I asked for blue Cherry Coke in honor of my mother who loves blue food (Silly you Percy, you refuse to eat any candy unless its blue!), and Baxie asked for water since she hated soda. All of the campers offer up a piece of their meal to the big bonfire in the middle of the dining room. As I make my offering, I silently asks my dad, whoever that may be, to claim me. Baxie does the same but when she offered her part, the bon fire rose higher and grew brighter. The bonfire smoke smells delicious, some how.

"I think the fire is mad at me. What do you think I did? Died in it?" Baxie said.

The campers then have a campfire where they sing songs and make s'mores. I did feel at home.

After that the campers all return to their cabins, and I falls into a deep sleep as I think about my mom. I wish I'd known how briefly I would get to enjoy my new home.
