R&R? Ily

I was pretty glad to see Emma again. It took my mind off me being a daughter of Hades. Percy was controlling the ship, and Jason had the winds push it. So Emma and I talked while her phone charged.

"How'd you bring a phone charger?!" I asked.

Emma shrugged. "I always bring one."

"Fair enough," I replied. "I haven't seen you in forever!"

"Me either! Did you get a phone yet?" Emma asked.

I groaned. "No! I really want one, though!"

"Do you think Percy's cute?" Emma asked.

I rolled my eyes. "No. He's way too old for me, plus he's got a girlfriend."

"If he's that hot he should," Emma replied, smiling.

"Don't tell me you like him, do you?" I smiled mischievously, like the Cheshire Cat. Emma was 15. Percy was like 18. I could... sort of see Emma and Percy together.

"Nah," Emma replied, keeping a straight face.

I shrugged and smirked. "YOU LIKE HIM!"

"I don't!" Emma insisted!

"YOU LIKE HIM!" I replied, singsong-y.

"I DO NOT!" Emma exclaimed.

"EMMA KNIGHT LIKES P-"

Emma slapped a hand over my mouth. "I DO NOT! Liar!"

"Whatever you say." I smirked.

"Oh, shut up! Come on. Let's go up to the deck." Emma smirked and ran up the stairs, dodging the furniture.

I had finally gotten used to Emma's richness after the water park birthday party. But this yacht was freaking AWESOME. It was like those pictures on Google Images. Her yacht had a pool on the deck. Emma's life was a teenage dream. I half expected her to start singing the Katy Perry song.

"Wow. Your yacht's awesome." Emma and I stood on the railing. It was around noon. We looked like movie characters at the movie's ending. I was SO happy Poseidon didn't shipwreck us.

Present day me is laughing at that statement.

"Thanks." Emma replied.

"I love it." I added. "Hey! Have you done a cover of Let It Go?"

"I've been meaning to. I've also wrote a Let It Burn, Let It Glow, Let It Grow, Let It Flow and Let It Blow! I've gone crazy for that song!" Emma answered.

"Ooh!" I exclaimed. "We could make a Let It Flow music video on your yacht with Percy! And Let It Blow with Jason!" I exclaimed. "Percy controls water. Jason controls wind."

"Sweet!" Emma exclaimed.

"It's a perfect day ex-... WOAH!" I stopped mid-sentence.

The lake suddenly rocked, sweeping me and Emma off out feet. We crashed against the other side of the rail.

"Ow!" Emma exclaimed.

"Your heel hit me!" I exclaimed. As usual, Emma was wearing heels. She was already tall, though.

"Sorry," Emma apologized.

"Any time I say that something bad happens!" I sighed. "Like when Zeus set my island on fire!"

I had the worst luck. I say something positive, something negative happens. UGH!

"You can swim, right?" Emma asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, but not well, you?"

"Duh!" Emma replied. "Didn't you watch Darkness Rising? I did some water stuff in there!"

"Cool! And no. Anyways, like I said, the Big Three's stuff is missing, and that's why this is happening!" I explained. "Come on!"

"Where?!" Emma called back.

"Up the stairs! To Percy and Jason!" I answered.

"Uh, why?" Emma asked.

It had started to rain. Figures, since rain was technically water. "Because Poseidon won't hit his kid as hard!"

"I'm just thinking what the hell right now, but okay!" Emma brushed wet hair out of her face.

We were able to make out way to the stairs somehow. Emma got there first, then me. We slowly made our way up. Suddenly I started to slip.

"Woah!" I screamed, grabbing the stair rail.

"Caroline!" Emma exclaimed, reaching an arm out. She was too far up though.

"Don't let go!" I called back. "Percy, where the hell are you?"

"Up here!" Percy's voice answered. "Just a little further!"

"Ugh!" I was two steps behind Emma, who had like three more to get to and she'd be at the top. We were holding hands so we wouldn't slip.

"Woah!" Emma started to slip.

"I've got you!" Percy exclaimed, grabbing Emma's arm and pulling us up.

"Thanks."

Emma laughed. "Oh my god. I am out of shape. Or do I say oh my gods...?"

"Yeah," I replied. "You say oh my gods."

"Oh my gods, then." Emma pulled her hair back, but her bangs just fell back to their normal spot.

"You remind me of my girlfriend Piper." Jason looked at Emma. "You're both pretty tall, skinny and have long hair."

Emma laughed. "Thanks. Now... How do we get out of the storm?"

"I can't fight my dad. He's way more powerful then me." Percy looked sad. "I don't really like it either."

"I can't fly all three of you at the same time," Jason added.

"Did you just say fly?" Emma asked.

Jason nodded.

"So, basically, we're doomed?" I asked.

"Pretty much. Nice knowing you all!" Emma exclaimed. "Wait... maybe not."

"What?" the rest of us asked.

The boat rocked, and Emma slid down towards the railing. "I WANT TO GET TO CANADA, AND SOON! Take me to CANADA!"

I felt a strong urge to jump off the boat and swim with Emma to Canada. I shook my head. I had felt the same thing with Madi, daughter of Aphrodite. The clouds cleared and the shore became visible.

"Did Emma just...?" Percy asked.

"She did!" Jason answered.

"Charmspeak," I realized. "Emma, you're a daughter of Aphrodite!"

"Really?" Emma asked, looking down at her soaked clothes. "That's worked for me before. So I thought, why not? and tried it. Who knew?!"

"It's called charmspeak," Jason explained. "All children of Venus- Aphrodite- have it. It makes others do what you want. I think you just used it on Poseidon!"

"Epic," Emma replied. "Come on. Canada awaits."
