A/N Like I said last chapter, this is a filler chapter. Fortunately, it is also a good place to ask my question of y'all: what should Percy and Annabeth's Soul Resonance be called and look like? I had a friend say it should be called 'Seaweed Brain' and I like that... but I'm not sure. I was thinking something like 'Spear Fisherman' and Percy turns into a harpoon gun or something... I don't know. PM me or leave a suggestion as a review. And thank you so much! Ten chapters! How exciting!
Chapter 10
Sunday evening came quickly for Maka and Soul. They had both taken a liking to the Blofis family and, Maka particularly, were sad to go. Sally promised Maka that she would send her drafts of new books and ideas for stories and series. Maka gave Sally her address and email and left with a full stomach after Sally cooked a blue meal. Maka smiled, remembering Percy explaining the significance and now understanding why his stepfather was so horrible.
"Thank you so much for letting us stay here, Sally, Paul."
Sally smiled. "Anytime, Maka. And did you two find what you were looking for?"
Maka nodded. "Yes, and everyone is fine. Nothing bad had happened yet, though we may come back soon to check up." Sally nodded and gave Maka a hug.
"We'll miss you guys. Come back whenever you want." Maka nodded before grabbing her suitcase and walking in front of Soul to the baggage check area. Maka glanced back at the two before smiling and walking into the airport.
LINE BREAK
"Do you have your bags, Percy?" Annabeth called across the secret cave David had shown them.
"Yes, Annabeth. Do you have everything you need?" Annabeth ran through her mental checklist.
"Yes, I do. So, are we all ready to go?" Percy grabbed his suitcase and walked over to his girlfriend.
"I think so. Where's David?"
"Right here! And good timing, too. I will be driving you guys to the airport."
"Cool. Where are your bags?"
"Oh, I'm not coming with you. I have some things to attend to here, first." Percy frowned.
"Okay. How are you going to come back to Death City?"
"Probably by Pegasus."
"Okay, well, let's go, I guess." David walked the two campers and their bags through camp to where Percy's car waited.
"Take good care of my car while I'm gone, David."
David grinned. "I'm gonna run over every monster I find." Annabeth grinned while Percy frowned.
"Time to get going, fellas!" Annabeth yelled as she jumped in the passenger seat, leaving Percy in the back.
LINE BREAK
Percy and Annabeth sat at a table in the airport by their gate, drinking smoothies.
"I mean, why can't we just take Blackjack? We know Zeus hates my guts!"
"But Lord Death said you'd be fine and that he worked out a deal with Zeus."
"I know. If I'm on DWMA business, I'll be safe. But it's still nerve-racking."
Four tables over, Maka and Soul were having a conversation about Sally and Paul. Well, Maka was talking about Sally's new book and Soul was sitting there, half-asleep. Maka turned her head as the flight attendant called for all first-class passengers to board. Maka and Soul stood and walked onto the plane. Percy and Annabeth, having just realized they were first-class, walked on behind them, though separated by ten or fifteen people. The demigod couple sat down three rows in front of the DWMA duo, and the flight took off. Percy and Annabeth watched a movie and fell asleep together while Soul watched a different movie and Maka read a book. The plane landed a few hours later in Death City, and the four disembarked, not realizing what kind of difference was going to be made in their lives.
