A/N-Listening to 'My Heart Will Go on' by Celine Dion-I'm not a fan of old songs but in honor of the Titanic...
I just realized something: It's really sad when everyone on fanfiction understands you better than your real friends.
3rd Person-
"Where are we going, Percy?" Annabeth complained. "My feet hurt."
"Would you like me to cut them off, Princess?" Percy walked further into the wilderness. "Cause that won't be a problem."
"Shut up." Annabeth's face turned red.
"Guys, look." Grover pointed to a vacant restaurant.
"What does that say?" Percy pointed to the sign.
"It says, Gaudy N's In Poor em's." Annabeth said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"It says, Aunty Em's Emporium."(was it longer cuz I forgot.) Grover said.
"Who cares what it says," Percy started towards the restaurant. "I'm starving."
Annabeth's stomach growled. "A bite won't kill us." she said.
"I don't like the smell of this place," Grover hesitated."We should go."
"Just a bite?" Percy and Annabeth opened the door.
The smell of grease hit Percy and Annabeth as soon as they walked in.
Percy smelled burgers.
Annabeth smelled fries.
Grover smelled death.( appetizing,ain't it?)
"Welcome children," A woman greeted behind the had a hair net, which seemed to hiss. Her eyes were slit and green-like a snake.
She wore a shawl so the demigods couldn't see anything.
"I am Aunty Em," She introduced herself. "May I help you, children?"
"Uh, yeah." Percy eyed the burgers. "We're kind of hungry."
"Well, sit down-What would you like?" Aunty Em pointed to a booth.
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover sat down.
"I think I made it pretty obvious-I would like eat something." Percy pointed out.
Annabeth smacked his head but Aunt Em laughed, saying,
"You remind of a past love, in fact he had the same hair color." Aunty Em brought of tray hot dogs, hamburgers, and french fries.
Annabeth and Percy dug in, grabbing one of everything.
"And what will you have to eat, Grover?" Aunty Em's hair net hissed as she turned towards him.
"Some napkins would be nice." Grover mumbled.
"Of course." Aunty Em disappeared behind the counter.
For the first time, Grover seemed to notice her vast statue collection.
There was a little girl, a couple,and several others.
They looked frozen-as if they had been real at one point.
"That's weird," Percy commented after swallowing his hamburger. "They all have the same look; like they're scared."
"One of them look like Grover," Annabeth pointed to a statue that was a satyr.
Grover bleated mournfully, "That looks like my uncle Ferdinand!"
"Something fishy is going on in here." Percy laughed at his joke.
"Here are your napkins," Aunty Em handed Grover a stack of napkins.
"Hey lady," Percy said rudely. "I'm going to need something to drink eventually."
Aunty Em giggled and vanished behind the counter once more.
"Could you be any more rude?" Annabeth asked.
"Could you be any more annoying?" Percy retorted, pulling a small device that looked like a red button.
"What's that?" Annabeth and Grover asked at same time.
"This is Serinna-she's a device that tells me everything about my enemies, targets, and stuff."
Percy tapped the red button and asked, "Who is Aunty Em?"
A hologram materialized and Serinna's voice said, "Aunty Em is an alias for Medusa-the gorgon had an affair with Poseidon in Athena's temple;she cursed her forever-so her hair is made of snakes.
She hates children of Athena and turns innocent people into stone with her eyes."
"How can we defeat her?" Annabeth asked.
"Never look directly into her eyes-use a mirror-the most effective way is to decapitate her."
"Thank you, Seri." Percy put the device in his pocket.
"Here." Annabeth handed Percy a mirror.
"Why so vain?" Percy chuckled, but took the mirror anyway.
"We should make a break for it," Grover said, worriedly.
"You want to run away from a fight?" Percy shook his head.
"Grover's right," Annabeth advised. "We just stuffed ourselves, do you really think we could fight?"
"Okay," Percy said, standing up. "Let's go before Grover wets himself."
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover didn't get very far before Medusa came.
"Where are you going?" She asked, taking off her hair net. "Why don't you stay and be part of my collection?"
Her snakes hissed; ready to pounce.
"Actually, we kinda have to get Zeus's master bolt and stop a massive war between the gods," Percy said. "But thanks for the offer."
Medusa took off her shawl. "Look away!" Annabeth warned.
Percy uncapped Riptide,holding the mirror in front of him to see Medusa.
"Don't fight children, just turn around so I can take a picture." Medusa circled Annabeth and Grover.
Annabeth picked up a broken piece of a statue and hurled it at Medusa.
"No thanks-I'm camera shy." Annabeth said. (don't ya'll just love my corny jokes?)
Medusa clutched her eye, where the shard hit her. "You wretched girl!" She screeched, attacking Annabeth.
Percy held his hand, making time stop, Percy blade flashed and Medusa's head rolled onto the floor.
Percy dropped his hand a time started up again.
When Grover and Annabeth saw the head, they immediately wrapped it in a plastic bag.
"It's about time she got a head-cut." Grover laughed, placing the head in a box.
Percy collected all the drachmas and anything that would be useful to them.
Annabeth grabbed all the food she could.
They all met up in the kitchen, trying to decide where to put the head.
"I know where to put the head," Percy said,smiling.
He whipped out a sharpie writing in scrawled letters, 'To Kronos From Percy'
"I hope he enjoys his gift in tartus." Percy threw a drachma in, making the box vanish.
The other two shrugged, following Percy out the door.
