"Woah! Hermes, slow down! What's with you today, and why are you smiling like an idiot?" The son of Athena and the son of Poseidon heard Mr. D say from the Big House. Anthony and Marcus ran over to the porch to investigate.

"My gods, Dionysus! You won't believe who I found! Where's Chiron? Chiron! Come here, and quickly!" Hermes said all jumbled up and out of breath.

Chiron clipped-clopped over to the still-hugging gods. Dionysus cleared his throat a little too loud. Hermes got the message and got off of him.

The traveling god, still grinning ear to ear, hopped up and down. "Oh, I wish I could tell you! I don't want any one to know yet, though! I've got to go, bye!"

Dionysus sighed through his nose like this happened all the time. "That man will never grow up. I'll bet you five silver drachmas that he found that orange lizard he lost two years ago. . ."

Anthony and Marcus walked away stifling laughs until they reached the Poseidon cabin.

Rowling on the floor, Anthony said between laughing and breathing hard, "A-an orange liz-lizard!"

And like that was funny, Marcus started laughing so hard he cried.

...

Isabel, Marcus's twin sister, walked into cabin three with a disapproving look at the laughing-so-hard-it-hurts boys that were sprawled onto the floor.

"My diaphragm, oh, my diaphragm!" Marcus wheezed/laughed. This brought more laughter from Anthony, which made Marcus do the same.

"Oh my gods, Marcus! We're turning fifteen in two days, but you still act like a five year old." The mature sister shook her head with a suppressed giggle.

"Oh, shut up, Isabel. You're still five minutes younger than me, stop trying to act like you're the older twin." The blonde haired boy joked with his blonde haired sister.

Just then the light-aired mood seemed change and his sister looked at him with a new sad expression."I was asking Samantha, that mean Ares girl, why the gods are upset today, and because all three of us are newer here we didn't know that every other year we do a memorial service to Percy Jackson. That's today."

"That guy's my half brother! From what I heard from Lady Piper and Lord Leo he's a pretty cool guy. They never told me what happened to him." Anthony voiced, feeling like he needed to be in the conversation too.

"Since when did you talk to ghosts!?" Isabel and her twin said at the same time.
