"Are we seriously doing this?" Will asked the group Clarrise was a bit hesitant on doing this.

"We need a lift to Los Angeles and he is getting us a way if we do this for him sounds like a good deal to me." Percy said Will and Clarisse looked at each other, even though the gods are technically meant to interfere that did not mean they couldn't get demigods to do a mini quest for things. "What?" Percy asked his hesitant companions and dare he say best friends.

"It's just that the gods are not known for always keeping their words or leaving stuff out." Will said and Percy looked at them for a second wondering what they were on about.

"You don't think I should have said yes to Lord Ares?" Percy asked them they looked uneasy to answer the question but they knew they had to be straight with Percy since he was new to all this. They did have to commend Percy taking all of this in stride not all did.

"They sometimes leave things out so we always have to be on guard won't he gods and what they want as it comes with a price as I'm sure you just learned." Clarrise said to the boy who nodded and vowed to do better in the future but right now they had a job to do.

"This is where your father took someone on a date Clarisse?" Percy asked it was a bit of a let down for a date spot. He had heard that in school this doesn't seem romantic. Is that not the objection on a date to be romantic? It was all too weird for Percy to even comprehend it anyway.

"I don't know I do know he mostly goes on dates with Lady Aphrodite."

"The Goddess of Love?" Percy asked the girl who nodded Percy thought that if he went on a date with such a goddess of love he would pick a better place. But he didn't know what counted for romance in a place like there was a rating for that?

"The one and only." Replied Will who was looking at Percy who was deep in thought but he was listening to them and paying attention at the same time.

"But I thought she was married to Hephaestus though." Percy said in all of what he knew of the gods which was not much at the moment he did know that Aphrodite and Hephaestus was married.

"Oh they are but dad and her have been having an affair for centuries. Lord Hephaestus keeps on trying to catch them together." Clarrise said and it made sense but why have a date here of all places?

"Let's just search for the object that Lord Ares wanted." Will suggested to the group and the other two agreed walking around Percy thought it would be easier than this but he was wrong on that account.

It was no until Percy walked past a ride attraction the 'Tunnel of Love'. "Hey guys I think I've found it." Percy yelled out to Clarisse and Will who came running to him.

"A bit on the nose don't you think?" Will asked but they looked everywhere else for the object for Clarisse's father. But they walked into the attraction and found where the object was a shield that must've belonged to Lord Ares.

As they were waking they were looking for his Shield but why leave it? None of them thought that nothing could scare the god of war but if he left in a hurry it would make sense.

"There it is!" Percy yelled as he spotted it but they had to figure how to get it from the boat that's down there. They had no way of getting down or back up again but Percy had a thought, what if he could bring the shield to them? The water and the god would hopefully be enough to spit the boat into the land like a geyser.

"Hey Percy what are you doing?" Will asked as soon as he noticed the concentrated facial expression that was on Percy's face. He was getting worried about his friend and his dad's champion. Why was he going so red?

Clarrise had similar thoughts to Will what was the sea brain doing? It was almost like he was constipated. She noticed what he was looking at then looked at the boat and water it was doing something so that was what he was doing.

The water shot out like a geyser while Percy was concentrating on pulling the water towards them so that they could get the shield. Will looked impressed and Clarrise wondered why he did not do it sooner than that.

The boat landed next to Will who shrieked at the boat landing near him as he rounded at a panting Percy who was exhausted at doing that. "Give us a warning next time, yeah?" Will said to the demigod who shakingly stood up smiling he looked like he was about to pass out from that.

"How did you know you could do that?" Clarrise asked the boy who shrugged that he was going to be taking it easy for a little bit as that took a lot out of him. He was not so sure it would work but he was glad he did. Maybe he would train with his powers with small bits of water first then get used to using bigger bodies of water.

"Probably should not have done that without training." He admitted his companions rolled their eyes like they knew all along but did not voice it. There were some lessons you had to learn all by yourself.

"Maybe but you look exhausted Percy let's sit down for a bit before leaving." Will said making him sit down but not lie down as he was more than likely would fall asleep.

"Yeah that's a good idea." Percy agreed and sat down on the ground they did not know how powerful the son of Poseidon was but that was pretty powerful for no training with his powers anyway.
