But dreamland wasn't that great.

In my dream, it showed Aphrodite whisper something into Athena's like a school girl. As soon as Athena processed what she said, her eyes lit up like fire. And I literally mean fire. In her pupils, there was golden fire. I instantly felt frightened. My mother walked over to poised. And just like her eyes, she lit up on fire. It looked like she was yelling at him (I couldn't tell, because it was like my brain was on mute). Athena was furious. She started to use her whole body, moving her arms around and jumping. I had never seen her get so animated. The children of Athena never were ones to show our feelings, but this must have ticked her off. The other gods were onlookers now. Posiden looked confused and as he listened to her more, he grew furious. He took out his trident, and all of the sudden I felt more afraid and frightened. This weapon he was holding was the second most dangerous weapon in the world. Right after the master lightning bolt of course. He shot a blue streak of light into the sky. Oh that wasn't good. All of the sudden he vanished in a flash of gold light. Everyone looked at Aphrodite. She was guilty of what just happened. She looked shocked and then embarrassed. Then she mouthed the words oops.

I woke up in a sweat. From that dream, I could sense that something was wrong on Olympus. I threw on some jeans and a sweat shirt over my flannel shorts and tank top. I raced into Percy's room. He was up too. He was sitting up in bed. Percy looked at me questioningly.

"We have to go to Olympus. Throw some pants and a shirt on" I whisper/shouted.

He nodded, understanding the urgency in my voice.

"I'm going to write a note for your parents." I added.

I scribbled on a piece of paper:

Dear Sally and Paul,

Percy and I have some business to do on Olympus. Don't worry. We'll be fine.

-Annabeth

I started walking to the door. Percy was already there. We walked out to the parking lot and got into the car. Percy broke the silence. "Is this having to do with some dream that had to do with your mom freaking out?"

"Yeah. How did you know?"

"Because I had the same one."

"Oh. Well it must have to do with us right? Firstly because it was Athena and Poseidon. Aphrodite had to do with it, too and she's the goddess of love. So that must have to do with us being together. And our parents looked pret-"

I was cut off by Percy's warm lips.

"Thanks. Sometimes I need to shut up."

"I totally agree with that!" he responded with a smile.

We were already parked outside of the Empire State Building, so I decided to give him my glare. I pursed my lips and then gave him the most intense glare.

"Whoa, Thalia is right. You are scary when you do that." he shivered and looked uncomfortable. "Wise Girl! Oh. My. Gods. Stop it!" he started to whine like a scared eight year old (no offense to eight year olds of the world).

I started to giggle. "Ok, now we seriously have to get up to Olympus."

Percy nodded. We got out of the car and entered the building contain Olympus . We walked up to the desk clerk guy.

"What d'ya want?" the clerk asked, sounding annoyed. He was obviously new, because he had a new York/Connecticut accent.

"Sixth hundredth floor please." I asked politely.

"There is no sixth-hundredth floor, kid." he said, more interested into his computer.

"We know that there's a sixth-hundredth floor. We're demigods. And we'll attract a lot of monsters if you keep us waiting." Percy said. He was all business now.

"Eh, sure you are kid. Now go run along and fly on your unicorn, or horse, or what ever you fly."

Percy shot me an annoyed look. "Uh. What else do I have to do to prove to you that we are demigods?" he said.

"You're not a demigod. Those are just myths. So scram. Its three in the morning anyways. Go."

Percy was not, is not, and never will be a patient person. So your probably imagining that he's pretty annoyed. Well your correct. He was extremely annoyed. So he pulled out a golden drachma, and chucked it at the guys head.

Once I realized what he had done, I thumped him on the back of his head.

"Ok fine. Fine. Here's the key. And if you chuck another coin at me, I'll get a harpy or something." the clerk surrendered.

"Thank you! I said in my sweet voice. I flashed a grin at the clerk who wasn't even paying attention.

We entered the elevator and inserted the key. A button appeared on the wall and I pressed it. The elevator went up with such force that Percy and I got pushed back onto the walls of the elevator. after a couple of seconds, we made it to the top, the elevator made a ding! noise. I was satisfied to see that the elevators were faster (it was an adjustment that I made while I rebuilt Olympus. It was so you didn't have to listen to six-hundred floors of horrible music).

We exited the elevator. Percy took a long, good look around and smiled. "Nice job, Wise girl."

I smiled. The entrance was breath-taking. I still couldn't get over what I had built. Off to the right, there was the statue garden. It had battle scenes, accomplishments, and all of the gods. Including the minor ones. To the left was the throne room, our destination.

Percy was still mesmerized by the shininess of everything. I grabbed his arm and pulled him over to the throne room, where an argument was brewing.

I cleared my throat. That had no effect. I clapped my hands. Nothing. "QUIET!" I screamed on the top of my lungs.

All eyes tuned to me. "Good. Ok, so what's happening? Why did lord poised leave?" I asked.

"He left because of you two." Apollo said, pointing at us two.

"I'm so sorry! I thought your parents would approve! that's why I told Athena! And then she got all," Aphrodite mad a face, that made me stiff a giggle. "And then poised was all," she made another face that was angry but manly and made a 'grrr" sound. "I didn't think! I'm sorry!"

"Yeah. We know all of this. Do you want us to help?" Percy asked.

"Well actually, we only need Peruses to go. Poised could be anywhere, including the ocean. Peruses can breathe under water so that works. And you can control earth and water so-" Zeus was cut off by Percy.

"WAIT! I can control earth?"

"Well, duh!" Zeus replied. "Your father is the 'earth shaker'. what did you think that meant?"

I had to stiff another giggle. If you haven't noticed, Three a.m. makes me shaky and giggly.

"So, you only need to go. don't worry, it'll be somewhere obvious, but under the sea. But still be careful. There's still a lot of monsters in the ocean." said Zeus.

Then it hit me. My boyfriend would be going away on a potentially dangerous quest, without me. He would be a percy-burger if the monsters got him.

Wait, did I just say Percy-burger? Wow. I seriously need some sleep.

"I, uh, wont be going?" I asked in a small voice.

Apollo replied, "Nope," popping the p, if that makes any sense. "I had a prediction that only percy would have to go. It said that poised was some where off of the golden coast where there was a big crack in the earth."

"Come, child. We shall talk about this in the staff meeting room," Zeus said, walking across the throne room away from me.

Percy looked puzzled.

"Daughter, I want to talk to you," Athena said. Her grey eyes were stormy and serious. I imagined my grey eyes were dull, sad, and worried all at the same time. "Come."

We walked over to the apartment complex . They weren't small apartments. The gods had a big floor to themselves. They also had guest flats.

We entered the elevator. After twenty seconds of an awkward silence (for me, at least), we entered her house. It was stunning. I had built everything, but the gods decorated their apartments. That was the only part they got a voice in.

We entered the sitting room. The room was painted white, with white couches, white tables, and white everything. I didn't like it at all, and suddenly regretted letting the gods have free rein. The room was un-pleastent and uninviting.

"I CAN'T BELIVE YOUR DATING THE SEA SPAWN!"
