I do not own Percy Jackson, his friends or the Gods. Did you really think I did?

Someone asked in a review: if Artemis has to leave to drive the moon, why isn't Apollo gone to drive the sun during the day, and on top of that, it is always night and day somewhere so would they not always be gone?

My reply: The group is meeting at 9am- at that time the sun has been up for a few hours (Dawn is usually around six).

I don't know why they are not gone all the time. I asked Apollo who told me to ask Lady Athena (I don't think he knew). I tried to ask Lady Athena but got bored and stopped listening (She was using big complecated words). When I asked Zeus he told me to go away and continue writing.

I think the sun and moon chariots are like the planes that pull the glider aeroplane, you take it up and let it fly on it's own.

Thanks for the reviews.

From Previous Chapter:

"You blew up a bus that MY DAUGHTER was on," shouted Athena glaring at her father.

Part 11

"It hasn't happen YET," shouted Zeus.

"To them it has happened, therefore it has," replied Athena pointing towards the demi-gods.

"We ran into the woods travelling as far from the bus as possible. We came to Aunty Ems Garden Gnome Emporium. We should have listened to Grover," said Annabeth.

"I know, but we were hungry," said Percy.

"When do we ever listen to Grover?" asked Thalia.

"We were met at the door by a women veiled in black. You could only see her hands and her eyes as she had black gauze over her face. I imaged her as a grandmother who had once been a beautiful lady," said Percy.

"You would."

"We didn't realise who she was until she wanted to take our photo. That was when Grover realised that a statue of a satyr with the reed pipes was his Uncle Ferdinand." Both Poseidon and Athena gasped.

"Medusa,"

"You met Medusa? This is your fault," said Poseidon glaring at Athena.

"How is it my fault?"

"You turned her into that monster," said Poseidon.

"She was your lover and you met her in my TEMPLE, SO DISRESPECTFUL," shouted Athena.

"Admit it you were jealous of her,"

"Me jealous,"

"Why am I thinking URST?" asked Rachel staring at the fighting gods. The demi-gods had to agree with her.

"What is URST?" asked Apollo curiously. All the gods and Nico looked confused. Nico didn't know about the birds and the bees, how is he to know what URST is.

"Unresolved Sexual Tension," Rachel said before hiding behind Percy and Annabeth. Looking at the gods reminded Percy of the Aquarium. All the gods were doing good impressions of fish, opening and closing their mouths in shock. Aphrodite was the first to react with a squeal.

"Oh my Gods, you are so right. I have to organise a date for those two. Hmm where to send them?" she said her mind racing.

"NO just no," screamed Percy and Annabeth. Their parents dating, can you say awkward?

"Wow," said Hades looking at his brother and niece, "you stopped them fighting for 10 minutes. Must be a record."

"No the record was 15 minutes but they both had their mouths taped, does that count?" said Hermes laughing. The demi-gods wondered how the couple had ended up with their mouths taped shut.

"So you are with Medusa, how did you get away? Asked Lady Hestia to get them back to the story.

"Grover and Annabeth realised at the same time. I was a little slower."

"Of course you were, Seaweed Brain," said Thalia laughing.

"Grover used the flying shoes and his sense of smell to distract her- he was the Red Baron," continued Percy after punching Thalia.

"Percy used her reflection from a glass ball to slice her head off," explained Annabeth.

"You came up with the idea Wise Girl."

"She liked you; she wouldn't have let me close enough. I think she still had a crush on someone," Annabeth said looking towards Poseidon.

"You two do look similar, you probably reminded her of him," said Aphrodite.

"If you sliced her head off, that meant you got another spoils of war. What did you do to her head?" asked Lady Artemis. Percy looked sheepish,

"I was angry; in the back office were packing slips for Hermes Overnight Express so I … Mailed you her head."

"Why you impertinent little brat," shouted Zeus.

"You do have a way of ticking off the Gods," said Clarisse laughing along with the rest of the demi-gods.

"So how did you get west?" asked Hephaestus.

"We got help from a pink poodle," was the reply he got.

"Oh yeah Gladiola with his $200 reward. We were able to catch a train to Denver" Said Annabeth.

"We had a pit stop in St Louis, where we had a very interesting visit to Gateway Arch," said Percy.

"Don't tell me you blew up the Arch," said Chris. Percy nodded.

"I had help, a fat lady and her Chihuahua. She is better known as Echidna and Chimera. If you ever meet Echidna- DO NOT call her an anteater," said Percy.

"The Chimera attacked me and blew a hole in the side of the observation deck. I lost my sword and was injured. I did the only thing possible. I jumped off the side of the building and plummeted to the river below," continued Percy.

"You jumped off the Arch that's 200 meters," said Athena in awe.

"I landed into the Mississippi River and realised two things. The first thing was that I was still alive the other I wasn't wet and could breathe underwater."

"So what happened next?" asked Apollo.

"A woman gave me a message, to go to Santa Monica before I descended into the Underworld. Oh and do not trust the gifts. So I grabbed my sword from the bottom of the river and made my way to the surface."

"You sent someone to give him a message, what happened to the rules?" said Zeus glaring at Poseidon.

"You tried to kill him, don't tell me you wouldn't do the same for your kid," retaliated Poseidon. Thalia was thinking no he wouldn't but didn't say anything.

"So I got out of the water dry, a little girl realised and no one listened to her anyway," said Percy, "the media and emergency services were at the Arch and I was still part of a national manhunt."

"National manhunt?"

"Gabe started it, his car had been totalled and his wife was missing. He blamed his troubled step son," explained Annabeth, "Percy was seen, involved in a bus accident in New Jersey and then there were reports he blew up the Arch."

"We quickly got back to the train and continued west." said Percy.

"I'm hungry," Nico suddenly said.

"We are not breaking yet, continue with the story," said Zeus.

"The next thing was to contact Chiron by iris-messaging, we got hold of Luke who said there were issues with the campers," said Annabeth.

"He had to break up a fight, apparently the same person who let in the Hell hound had also leaked the fight between Zeus and Poseidon," said Percy.

"Oh yeah it was Ares, Apollo and Aphrodite for Poseidon against Athena for Zeus," said Clarrise.

"I still found that strange, said Percy to Clarisse who agreed.

"Luke was trying to convince me it was Hades as he had used the Helm of Darkness to steal the bolt. He had been at the Winter Solstice and had seen Hades there."

"Of course I was there; I'm only allowed to attend that meeting."

"Hades had to steal the bolt as you needed to be invisible to steal it. He also checked I was wearing the shoes," said Percy.

"Why does everyone think I stole the stupid bolt?" mumbled Hades.

"Hang on he insinuated Annabeth could have stolen the bolt. How dare he," shouted Thalia.

"We tried to get food at a diner with no food. That's where a god bought us food," said Annabeth.

"Who was the stupid God who did that?" asked Ares.

"You," answered Percy. Apollo and Hermes were laughing.

"What did he want?" asked Athena. She knew her half-brother would only do that if he wanted something.

"He had left his shield at an abandoned water park. He was interrupted while on a date," answered Annabeth.

"We agreed to retrieve the shield for a ride west," said Percy. That was when they heard a loud growling noise. Everyone looked around.

"Sorry, but I'm hungry. Can we PLEASE have something to eat?" said Nico.

"Good idea," said Thalia ruffling Nico's hair.

"Fine we eat," grumbled Zeus and flashed out of the throne room. Nico cheered and raced out of the room with everyone slowly following.

A/N: Yeah half way through the first book.
