They were late. They were late. They were late.

Annabeth hated to be late to a meeting.

She and Rachel were running for the Big House, where tons of ADHD kids were being held. If they didn't get there soon, someone would end up with coke in their face and cheetos in their hair, just like last time.

"Wait, wait! Annabeth, hold on for a second!" Rachel was panting, and Annabeth dimly realized that, despite being in a camp surrounded by training heroes, Rachel didn't have to train everyday and probably wasn't used to running a lot. "Can we please walk the rest of the way? It's not that far, anyway."

"Fine, okay." Annabeth sighed. "Um, you'd tell me if you heard anything about, um, you know-"

"I can see the future, Annabeth, not read minds. Just spit it out." She smiled encouragingly.

"Have you seen anything about...Percy?" It hurt her just to say his name. That name brought back so many memories.

Rachel looked ahead, saying nothing at first. "When I first saw Jason, Piper and Leo, right after they got back from their quest," she said finally." I... I don't know, I just got this feeling. And then this image of a boy sleeping popped into my head for a second, but I couldn't tell if it was Percy or not."

Annabeth looked down, taking a minute to gather her thoughts. Percy was sleeping? That wasn't what she'd expected.

"Look, Annabeth, I know you think you're alone in this, but you're not." Rachel put her hand on Annabeth's shoulder. "Percy had lots of friends, all willing to help find him. I know for a fact that we'll find him."

Annabeth sniffled. "How can you possibly-" she stopped. "Oh, duh. Of course. You're the Oracle."

Rachel grinned. "The one and only."

They laughed, and Annabeth secretly wondered how they ever couldv'e been enemies. Fighting over Percy.

The two girls reached the Big House, but Rachel stopped Annabeth before opening the door.

"I promise we'll find him. I'm pretty reliable, too."

Rachel gave Annabeth a comforting smile before walking inside, and Annabeth did feel a little better.
