Percy's POV:
"So how are we getting to school? We can't all fit in the Prius…" I brought up this morning.
"Perce, didn't your dad tell you? He left you a car and bike."
"What?" I asked my mom. "No way, really?"
"Really, we saw it when we were looking at the house, Annabeth has a car too. And your bike has a side car, and we have more cars that I guess are extras for when your friends come over or something."
I grabbed Annabeth's hand and dragged her to the garage. Mom wasn't kidding. These cars were sweet! My motorcycle was electric blue with a grey owl holding a sea green trident on the front. My car looked the same. The side car for the motorcycle had that design as well and it could hold four people, it had seats like a rollercoaster sort of, and it made me guess that dad had seen this coming. Annabeth's car was grey with a blue owl and sea-green trident. I walked over and picked a note off the motorcycle.
Percy-
We thought this might be a nice surprise for you, all of them were made by Hephaestus with some help from us other Gods. You have helped us out so much that I convinced them to do something nice for you and your friends. The motorcycle and all the cars were made by us to make sure you can still drive it in the snow. Kind of like a four-wheel drive, only you won't be sliding at all if you hit a patch of ice or snow. The extra cars are unique, all someone has to do is touch it and it will design the car according to the godly parent. I love you son. Never forget that.

I smiled and showed Annabeth the note.
"Your dad is the best Perce." She said to me.
"Ok, which one is mine?" Thalia asked.
"What makes you think one is yours?" I asked. Your usually gone Pinecone Face." I smirked and she stuck her tongue out at me. "Just go touch that car." I told her, pointing at a black car at the end.
"What kind of cars are these? I've never seen anything like them!" Hermione exclaimed as Thalia walked over to the car.
"Leo's dad is a wiz at mechanics and building, he made them specifically designed for us." Percy explained.
"Sweet!" Thalia's exclamation brought all of our attention to her, and more specifically, the car.
The car was now grey like a storm cloud and it had a bright blue lightning bolt shaped on either side of the car. The lightning bolt was outlined by a darker shade of blue.
"That is totally you Thalia." Annabeth said.
"Me next!" Leo shouted and ran to another blank car. There were three altogether. Leo's car stayed pitch black but flames appeared around the car as well, on the front and sides.
"Nico, why don't you take the last one?" I asked my cousin. He looked at me hesitantly but I motioned him to.
When he touched the car, his also kept some black but his also had some green on it, just like his cabin at camp.
"Okay good. So let's figure out driving arrangements." Annabeth took over. "Percy and I will take the futures on the bike. Thalia, you can take Jason, Piper and the twins, Leo can take Calypso, Hazel, Frank and Ginny, and Nico, you can drive the last one with Will, Harry, Ron and Hermione. Sound good to everyone?"
Everyone agreed and after breakfast and everything we were ready to go. I was leading, then Paul would lead the rest of the cars from his Prius (which was still dented) in case we were going to fast or got cut off, and everyone had a GPS. I handed Annabeth the grey helmet with a sea green owl, while I had a sea green helmet with a grey trident. I handed all of the futures the extra electric blue helmets I had found and opened the garage doors. We had like eight of them.
I kicked the kickstand, revved the engine and took off, I looked in the mirrors to see the rest of the cars were taking off too. Paul's car looked kind of sad compared to ours… oh well, nothing we could do about it now.

Todd's POV:
Man I can't wait for winter break, I'm so tired of school and waking up early and learning all this boring stuff. The only interesting thing I've learned all year is that Percy has a girlfriend and they are in Scotland at a boarding school. Man I wish he was here, Goode is so boring and the swim team just isn't the same.
"Guys, we only have today and tomorrow and then two whole weeks of no school, what are we doing tomorrow night?" Alyssa asked. I felt the worst for her, she had a huge crush on Percy, she worried about him nonstop and then all of the sudden he has a girlfriend? And what could they have possibly gone through that they would be thinking of taking a whole year off of school?
"I don't know, movie night?" I answered.
"Depends on the movie." Ryan replied.
"We could figure it out tomorrow, maybe the mummy trilogy."
"No way!" Alyssa protested. "Those bugs freak me out."
"What about Back to the Future?" Ryan suggested.
"Sounds good to me, pizza and popcorn too?"
"Totally." Alyssa said.
We all turned around when we heard the revv of a motorcycle engine. Who would drive a motorcycle in the snow? I dropped my jaw as I saw the cars following said vehicle. One was a Prius I recognized as Mr. Blowfis' because of the hoof prints in the roof which he hasn't explained to anyone. But what had my attention were the sports cars. I pride myself on knowing about cars, but I had never seen any of these before, or that kind of motorcycle now that I mention it. And the motorcycle had a sidecar that had, was that four people? I've never seen that either. They all pulled into the parking lot and everyone who was in a car got out. Most of them were, well, godlike in the way they looked.
"Dude, who are they? I didn't hear anything about a tour group or anything." Ryan commented.
"Mr. Blowfis knows them, look." I pointed. And sure enough Mr. Blowfis was talking with the group.
Our attention was once again drawn to the motorcycle as three of the people on it got off, two from the bike and one from the side car. They all still had their helmets, but I could tell they were the oldest and the ones still in the sidecar were all younger. The three were taking off their helmets and I was shocked. It was Percy!
"Percy!" We all yelled at him. He had his arm around Annabeth but he turned and smiled at us while putting his helmet on the bike. We all ran over to him as Annabeth was helping the other guy with his helmet and Percy leaned down to help the younger ones.

Percy's POV:
"They are coming over here, I'll help the kids, you help Teddy." I used my power to tell her as I dropped my arm from around her and leaned down, I kept the connection together though.
"Alright, James first." I said as I unstrapped his helmet and seat belt before helping him out of the car. Teddy put his hat on him, since it was snowing, while I went to work on Albus.
"Perce! Dude! What are you doing here? Who are all these people?" Todd asked me.
"Hang on a sec guys, Al's helmet is stuck, Annabeth, can you get Lily out of the helmet and car?" I said.
"Sure." And she got her out and Teddy put a hat on her as well. After she came and wrapped her arms around me from behind and kissed my neck as I struggled with Al's helmet.
"Man it's really stuck." I said getting frustrated.
"Hear let me." I gave up and let Annabeth reach forward more to work on it, so of course it came off right away.
"How do you do that? I don't get it." She laughed and kissed my back. Teddy handed me Al's hat and I put it on him and unbuckled his seat and lifted him out.
"Sorry about that Al."
"It's fine." He replied, going over to Lily, James and Teddy. Teddy was holding Lily, and I finally turned to my mortal friends as I pulled Annabeth in front of me and hugged her from behind. I put my chin on her head as I motioned for my other friends to come over.
"Well, we got out for vacation earlier do to a family emergency for some close family friends of ours. And they wanted to see Goode, so we are here for the day." I explained. "I'll introduce you but can we go inside first? It's freezing out here and we have young kids with us."
"Oh, yeah, um sure. Well let's go!" Alyssa said. She had a weird look on her face, especially when she saw Annabeth.
"We have to go to the office and sign in as visitors. We can go to Paul's room after and talk." He turned around. "Alright you guys, just follow me, and if you get lost, well… There are 21 of us, you should be able to find us." I said and led the way to the office, Annabeth by my side. Albus came up and I picked him up with my free arm and James was holding Teddy's hand.
We had attracted quite the crowd and everyone was trying to talk to me. I smiled ad shook my head. We reached the office.
"Hi Mrs. Robin." I greeted the office lady.
"Percy! How good to see you. You are the one with the big group today right?"
"Yup. 21 people, do we all have to sign in?"
"No, just have everyone grab a visitors sticker and write their name on it."
"Thankyou." I said. But I let Annabeth write everyone's name out. It was easier than having everyone crowd around trying to get to the marker and stickers. After they were all handed out we led the way to Paul's room, which was empty because he had no first period class.
"This is amazing! The school is bigger than I thought it would be." Hermione said examining everything.
"It's not the biggest school either, but it's a pretty decent size." I told her smiling. I saw my friends standing awkwardly around. "Hey guys come here I'll introduce you."
"So everyone this is Alyssa, Todd and Ryan. Guys this is Annabeth, my girlfriend, Thalia, Nico, Hazel and Jason, they are my cousins. Then there is Leo, his girlfriend Calypso, Piper, she's Jason's girlfriend. Frank over there is Hazel's boyfriend, Will is Nico's boyfriend." I could tell they were a bit overwhelmed, since it is a lot to take in, but I plowed on, they would learn everyone's names by the end of the day. "Those are our friends from camp. Now the friends from the boarding school we are attending are Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred and George. Oh and that's Teddy, James, Albus-but he goes by Al too, and Lily."
"Hi." My mortal friends greeted. No one said anything else and it was pretty awkward until Todd decided to speak up.
"Yo Perce, what kind of cars were those? And motorcycle? I've never seen anything like them before in my life." I should have known he would ask about that. Todd loved cars and motorcycles.
"Uh, well, my dad and a bunch of my friends parents worked together to build them all and gave them to us, so they are one of a kind."
"That's sweet! Think they could make me one? How much would it cost?"
"Uh, I don't really think they would build anymore no offense, but it was a shock they did this for me in general. None of them really like me but… let's just say I did them a favor. And they did this for me…" I felt bad saying it, but there was NO WAY I was going to Olympus to ask the gods to build a car for a mortal friend of mine. Todd looked down.
"Oh, okay." He said. "Hey! Why did you drive that motorcycle in the snow? Do you know how dangerous that is?" He exclaimed all of the sudden.
"Nah, my bike is safe for any type of weather. I guess it's sort of like four-wheel drive for my bike."
They were about to respond when the warning bell rang, startling the wizards and making my mortal friends groan.
"Well, we will see you around right?" Alyssa asked.
"Definitely, we are just going to be hanging around the school today." I answered.
"Cool, see ya Perce, sit with us at lunch yeah?" Ryan asked.
I nodded and waved to them, promising to interrupt a couple of their classes and Annabeth smacked my head at that. I just kissed her nose and she rolled her eyes at me as my friends left the room. A few minutes later the bell to start school went off, startling the wizards once more.
"What the bloody hell IS that?" Ron asked.
"Bell to start school, it goes off at the start and end of every class." Annabeth explained.
"That doesn't sound like a bell to me." He muttered.
"Yeah, Goode's bell sounds like a phone sort of." Paul said from his desk.
"What?"
"Never mind. Just forget it."
We spent a few minutes talking to Paul before we headed out of his classroom and into the hallway.

Alyssa's POV:
"So what do you guys think?" I asked my friends. Todd shrugged.
"I think they are nice."
"Agreed." Ryan said.
"Even Annabeth?" I questioned. I didn't like her.
"She and Percy seem really clingy. They barely let go of each other." Ryan observed.
"Exactly! It's like she was trying to tell us to back off, like she was bragging that she got him. She was really bratty, trying to keep Percy to herself."
"I see what you mean. I mean, maybe she knew you like him." I tried to protest but Todd continued. "And it's like she was clinging to him and telling you to stay away from him. I don't think he should really be around her. I mean, she is probably only with him for his looks or something shallow like that."
"Maybe we should casually bring it up to Percy guys. Find out as much as we can about them." Ryan suggested.
"Yeah, and then maybe corner Annabeth."
"Except she clings to Percy like a lifeline. It's disgusting."
"We will figure it out."
