LEO HOPED THE TAXI COULD…my car's acting funny.

"Not acting funny. It's being messed with." Katie shook her head

"Well he doesn't know that. Apart from the explanation that's something is seriously wrong with his car, the only explanation is that its acting funny." Beckendorf pointed out. Katie tilted her head and nodded.

"I can't wait for you."

"Yeah, we're probably going to leave in some sort of dramatic way." Leo said

"Most likely." Jason nodded.

"We're sure." Leo was the first…messing with them.

Everybody sighed.

While his friends got out…It was Aphrodite's money.

Everybody snorted.

Aphrodite raised an eyebrow at Leo and chuckled. Leo grinned at her.

Plus, he had a feeling…coming off this mountain.

"Just a bit more optimism." Beckendorf said to his brother

Leo shrugged.

"Going to face a giant who apparently breathes fire, saving Piper's dad who is being held hostage and then getting out of there somehow. I'm pretty sure that Enceladus won't be the only bad guy there. Getting off the mountain, alive seems like a task." Leo said, ticking it off his fingers. Beckendorf groaned.

"We'll manage." Piper said

"Keep the change,"… nodded toward the west.

"And Roman land." Dakota said with a light chuckle.

"Bad place, Jason…was a dangerous mistake.

"Well technically at that point, it kind of his but I don't know if it will be called a mistake." Hazel pointed out. Jason sighed.

"True. At that point of time, Romans and Greeks don't know about each other so technically, yes, it is dangerous and perhaps then also enemies." Jason said

"We changed that." Frank said with a small smile. Percy nodded.

No, Leo thought…Hedge nodded approvingly

Everybody laughed.

"But first, we'd better hike up…"We'd better hurry."

Everybody nodded. Piper was on the edge.

The Wilderness School had…some more comfortable shoes

"If it happens this time around then I will make sure to." Aphrodite said to Leo who nodded gratefully.

But he was grateful for the Ray…slipped it into his tool belt.

"Might help with distractions or some plan." Beckendorf said with a small grin. Leo nodded.

He missed his army coat…even higher one behind it.

"Yeah, that's got to be annoying." Chris grimaced

"Especially as Jason can't fly them to the top because of the giant." Thalia said

First things first…crayon drawing of destiny later.

"Crayon drawing of destiny." Connor chuckled

"That's what it technically is." Leo grinned. Hera sighed.

Finally Jason crouched behind…Leo didn't want to look at him

"I'm not sure if I want a detailed description either." Annabeth shuddered.

"Porphyrion is even larger." Athena said grimly

"Not comforting." Annabeth sighed.

But he forced himself…turning the metal molten red

Everybody shuddered.

"That is very horrifying." Clarisse said. Leo nodded. Jason, Piper and Leo were a little pale.

"And very creepy." Silena said.

"Okay," Coach Hedge…"Aw, c'mon."

Clarisse, Dionysus, Grover and Hermes gave sighs of relief, glad that Hedge wasn't going to go all solo on a giant.

Piper choked back a sob…"Dad," she said.

Piper choked a sob again.

"It'll be fine." Aphrodite murmured to her and kept a hand on Piper's shoulder who nodded determinedly.

Leo swallowed…mountainside exploded behind him

Piper gave a small chuckle.

"How many films of my dad have you seen, Leo?" she asked Leo who gave a lopsided grin.

"Every single one." He said

"No way." Piper said with a small smile.

"Yes way." Leo grinned

"Okay. Which movie did he play a spy or agent in?" Piper asked with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Ah quiz time but this one is easy. 'Spy by Chance' and 'The Agent in the dark'." Leo smirked. Piper's mouth actually dropped open a little and then she grinned.

"Wow. Good one, Valdez. I'll get you an autograph." Piper grinned finally. Leo squealed and then seemed to realize what he did and coughed his throat awkwardly. Everybody laughed and chuckled.

"I've seen the movies too." Connor said with a grin. Piper gave a small laugh which made Jason's heart beat a little faster.

"Hmm. Fine an autograph for you too." Piper said.

"You know what? I'm going to watch all his movies too." Chris grinned. Everybody managed a few laughs.

"Count me in." Percy grinned. Soon all the demigods agreed and decided on a 'Tristan McLean' movie marathon. The gods chuckled and agreed to join as well. The all fixed a time and decided to decide on the snacks later. Piper gave a good natured groan but soon grinned and laughed with the others.

"I'm going to let my dad know later that all of us sat down and watched every single one of his movies within two days." She said

"Why two days?" Clarisse said with a smirk.

"Trust me, there won't be enough time in one day to get them all over with." Piper chuckled.

"Ah okay, makes sense." Clarisse agreed. Everybody gave a chuckle or laugh.

Travis decided to continue reading once nobody was saying anything else.

But this wasn't a movie… a megalomaniac goat.

Though there were a few chuckles, the tense mood was back.

"There's four of us,"… "I'm not the leader."

"Yeah, you are." Piper said. Jason grinned at her.

"Who do you want to lead the new council?" Pollux muttered to Castor so that only he could hear.

"Percy, duh." Castor muttered back with a small grin. "I like him more and know him longer. So I have more trust in him. No offense to Jason. I like him too." He added in a whisper. Pollux nodded in agreement.

Percy was smiling, completely oblivious to the conversation and even to the thought of being the leader of the second council.

"Yes," Piper said…he trusted Jason with his life.

Leo and Jason exchanged smiles.

"I hate to say it,"… Just their best chance.

"That's how it is." Thalia sighed.

They couldn't sit there all…two inches into the dirt.

Everybody winced.

Leo looked at the construction…"Before I come to my senses."

A few chuckles.

"Let's boogie." Connor said with a small snicker. Leo grinned at him.

"Chapter's done." Travis said

"Makes it my turn." Dionysus sighed.
