Hey everyone. Like I said before, I'll make this chapter better than the last one. :P

HorseyGal23: Meanie.

Annabethiscool22: Thanks. I know it's illegal to get married under 18, but since it's a god, the rules are different.

The Ocean Is my Inkwell: I knew I would do this from the start. I think that he didn't react enough. :P And thanks for the suggestion! I'll think about it.

i-rock-101: Thanks!

Gryphonfeather: He's fifteen and joking with his friends. What did you expect?

Here's your cake. :D

"Oh my gods, Drake! You just knocked out Grover!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Yeah, with good reason!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Because I was in the middle of something!" I got down on one knee.

"Sarah Mary Mitzella, will you marry me?" I showed her the ring.

She just stood there, staring at the ring.

"Umm, hello? Sarah?"

"Oh my gods, Drake, it's beautiful! Yes! I will marry you!" And we started kissing. Again, it lasted forever.

"Aww..."

We turned to see Annabeth, Luke, Percy and Grover watching us.

I grinned. "Hey guys, guess what?"

"I'M ENGAGED!" Sarah squealed, and jumped into my arms.

"You're WHAT?!"

"We're engaged, Annabeth!"

Percy was smiling. Annabeth and Luke was in shock. Grover was staring at us, a half-chewed tin can hanging from his mouth. Apparently, satyrs can survive god punches.

"That's...That's..."

"Sweet!" Luke finished.

"When's the wedding?" Grover asked coyly.

"We've been engaged for about five minutes, Grover, and most of it was spent kissing. We haven't picked a date yet!" I said indignantly.

"Well, think of one now!"

"Jeez, Grover! We have to think of things! When we'll be ready, when are people available! We can't think of a date on the spot!" Sarah said.

"Fine. Can I be best goat?"

"Oh my gods... This won't stop will it?" I asked my new fiancée.

"I don't think it will," she laughed, and we kissed again. Just then, there are a blinding flash of light. There stood a man in a mailman's uniform.

"Hermes?"

"HERMES?!" Luke yelled. "YOU!"

"Luke, I heard what happened, and I-"

"No! I hate you! You never cared for me! I HATE YOU!" Luke yelled.

"Luke, he obviously does care about you. He showed up, and that counts for something, doesn't it?" Annabeth said.

"Yeah. Let him talk, man," Percy said.

"NO! He abandoned me, Percy. All of the gods did. I care nothing for them!" yelled Luke.

"LUKE! The gods cannot directly interfere with their children, but I have been helping you. I was guiding you when you were with Thalia and Annabeth. I helped you find Camp Half-Blood," Hermes said. "I know I gave you kind of a crummy quest..."

"CRUMMY?! It was pointless and that stupid dragon gave me this scar!" Luke screamed.

"I know. And I've got a better quest for you, if you'll forgive me. But for now, I'll leave you to think." We all averted our gaze – well, everyone except me – as Hermes changed into his true divine form and disappeared.

"Umm, wow." Percy said.

"Luke, are you okay?" Annabeth asked. Luke was staring at the spot where Hermes once stood. The dinner horn sounded.

"Yeah. I'm okay. You guys go ahead. I'll catch up to you." Annabeth and I exchanged glances.

"You guys go. I'll walk with Luke."

Percy, Sarah, Grover and Annabeth reluctantly left.

"Luke..."

"Save it, Drake. There's nothing you can say that will change my mind," Luke said. I stared at him. His hair had grown longer, and was unruly now. He was usually playful, but had a hard look on his face.

"Hermes means well, Luke. Just remember that. You're his favourite son. He tried his best, and I guess that wasn't enough. But think about that for a while. And you can bet that this new quest will be better." I turned to head back to the dining pavilion

"Hey Drake."

I turned around.

"Thanks. For everything you've done"

I smiled. "No problem. It's what friends do." I walked back for dinner.

"Hey, Drake!"

"Hey, Percy. How's the dinner?"

He stared at me.

"Oh, right."

Just then, we heard a crazy screeching noise, like a thousand snakes, all at once. Everyone I could see covered their ears, and some people were even rolling around on the floor. (Over-dramatic much?)

I turned to Percy. "What the hell is that?!"

He turned to me, eyes wide. "Kampê."

"Uh-oh," I thought.

"Drake! Use your powers to kill her! Quick, before she kills anyone!" Percy shouted.

"I'll just wait and see if you guys can overtake her. If not, I'll help. I can't fight all of your battles!" I said.

"Fine." He drew Riptide and ran to where the screeching came from. I ran after him.

I could only see Percy, Annabeth, and some Ares kids fighting Kampê. Chiron was shooting arrows at her from afar, but he only hit every five or six shots. Lee Fletcher and one of his cabin mates in trees firing. I could barely make out the person's face. Everyone else was either frozen on the spot in fear or running away. Then I realized something. "Sarah. Find Sarah."

I started running around, trying to find her. And I saw her: she was with Lee Fletcher, notching arrows. "Thank the gods, she's alright."

I stepped back to watch the fight. Percy and several of the Ares kids were distracting Kampê, while Annabeth (invisibly) and the Ares campers went in to strike. Kampê was good, though. She had two bronze scimitars, dripping with poison. She could fight with both arms separately, like they were controlled by two different people.

"Charge!" Clarisse yelled. The Ares kids distracting Kampê did so, and were met by green poison.

"Clarisse! Tell your campers to split up, so there are three teams attacking!" I yelled.

"What?"

"Do it!"

She gave the orders, and Kampê got nervous. She could fight with two arms at once, but not three. The only reason she didn't get him was because of the mutant animals in her hide.

Then, Kampê did one of her crazy blood-curdling screams. She fell over, and I saw why: Three celestial bronze arrows were lodged in her back.

"Strike! Now!" Everyone charged and stabbed Kampê with their weapons. She screeched and disintegrated.

"Okay, so, Percy, you didn't need my help, right?" I grinned.

He was panting. "Well you could've helped like a normal half-blood would! We would've been overwhelmed!"

"Yes, no doubt we would, if it wasn't for Sarah's good aim," Chiron said.

"That was you, Sarah?" I asked. She and Lee Fletched had come down from the trees.

She blushed. "Well... It was just three arrows..."

"Nice shot, Sarah!" I grinned.

"Thanks."

"Okay, campers! Back to dinner!" Chiron shouted.

She rolled her eyes. "That's Chiron for you. We barely escape with our lives, he wants us to eat dinner."

"Forget dinner. Guess what?"

"What?"

"I talked to my parents the other day. My cousin Vinnie is getting married this weekend, and I'm invited, and I can take a friend. Do you wanna come with me?"

She tried to hold in a laugh. "Cousin Vinnie?"

"I know! My parents don't get that joke! But do you wanna come?"

"Sure, Dead Boy."

"Great! We'll leave to go back to my parents house after Capture the Flag, then we can go to the wedding."

"Umm, Drake?"

"Yes?"

"Have you told your parents... about... you know?" she asked.

"Not yet."

"Okay. Well, see you later."

"You too, Zit Girl.

You guys are lucky I didn't leave a big cliffie! ;)

Anyways, R&R for cake! CHOCOLATE cake! Mmm! :D
