(Road Trip) - Scene change

Story start:

Percy was used to the occasional weird experience while Naruto could care less, but usually they were over quickly. The twenty-hour/seven hallucination was more than what Percy could handle. For the rest of the school year, the entire campus seemed to be playing some kind of trick on Percy. All of the students acted as if they were completely convinced that Mrs. Kerr, a perky blond woman whom he'd never seen in his life until she got on the bus at the end of the trip, had been the pre-algebra teacher since Christmas.

Naruto just told him to stop worrying about it and try to calm down about the field trip incident.

But Percy was persistent. Every so often he would spring a Mrs. Dobbs reference on somebody, just to see if he could trip them up, but the other students would just stare at him like he was a psycho. It went on that he almost believed them, Mrs. Dobbs had never existed. Almost.

Grover couldn't fool him. When he mentioned the name Dobbs to him, he would hesitate, then claim she didn't exist. But he and Naruto both know that Grover sucks at lying.

Something was going on. Something had happened at the museum. Percy didn't have much time to think about it during the day, but at night, visions of Mrs. Dobbs with talons and leathery wings would wake him up in a cold sweat. Naruto took everything in stride and played along while also wondering about what happened at the museum but he decided to do his investigation discreetly using his ninja skills to try and help, he didn't find anything yet.

After the field trip, Naruto had told Percy about his home, career as a ninja, and his arsenal of Justsus. At first, Percy didn't believe him, that is until Naruto made a clone of himself and open his right palm up by the clone as it rotated the air over his palm creating his favorite Jutsu, the Rasengan, but it was different to how it looked before. Instead of being blue with a mix of white, it was now black with a mix of red. Both of them were surprised by it, for different reasons. Naruto was surprised that it was a different color while Percy was surprised that he can make it, he had to wonder if Naruto is a superhero in disguise, which Naruto just whacked him in the head to bring him out of his stupor.

The freak weather continued, which didn't help Percy's mood. One night, a thunderstorm blew out the windows in his dorm room, dick move. A few days later, the biggest tornado ever spotted in the Hudson Valley touched down only fifty miles away from Yancy Academy. Naruto grew even more suspicious about the weather, especially with how the thunderstorm only blew out Percy's dorm room windows instead of all the windows of the academy.

One of the weird events that happened was when they were studying in social studies class, an unusual number of small planes had mysteriously gone down in sudden squalls into the Atlantic Ocean that year.

Percy started feeling cranky, agitated, and irritable most of the time. His grades slipped from Ds to Fs, Naruto managed to keep his grades as A+ except for that one time he got a B+ when they were on his way to hand it in Percy accidently bumped into him and spilled some of his water onto the his essay and smeared the heading of the paper and before he could go back and print another copy, the teacher opened his office door and saw them to hand in their essays, with Naruto narrowing his eyes at Percy who was rubbing the back of his head nervously, and took their papers and closed the door.

Percy got into more fights with Nancy and her friends, which Naruto had to break up before it got worse. He was sent out in almost all his classes except for Mr. Brunner's class.

Finally, when their English teacher, Mr. Nicoll, asked Percy for the millionth time why he was too lazy to study for the spelling tests, he snapped at the teacher and called him an old sot. He did not know what it meant but he thought it sounded good, Naruto just looked at Percy as if he was an idiot which, in a sense, he is.

The Headmaster sent his mom a letter the following week, making it official, he would not be invited back to Yancy Academy next year, which got Percy to smile a little since he was home sick and missed his mom.

He wanted to be with his mom in their little apartment on the Upper East Side, even if he had to go to public school and put up with his obnoxious stepfather and his stupid poker parties. And yet…there were things at Yancy that he would miss. The view of the woods out his dorm window, the Hudson River in the distance, the smell of pine trees. He'd miss his friends Naruto and Grover, even if Naruto hits him on the top of his head when he was being an idiot. He was worried about Grover and how he'd survive the next year without him.

He'd miss Latin class too – Mr. Brunner's crazy tournament days and his faith that Percy could do well in school.

As exam week got closer, Latin was the only test Percy would study for while Naruto used clones to study all of his subjects which Percy was jealous and grew annoyed when Naruto just smirked at him. He hadn't forgotten what Mr. Brunner had told him about the subject being life-and-death for him, but Mr. Brunner mentally included Naruto but Percy didn't need to know that. Percy didn't know why but he started to believe his words.

The night before the exam, Naruto and Percy were studying when Percy grew frustrated and threw his Cambridge Guide to Greek Mythology across the dorm room and hit the wall. "Okay Percy, what did book do to you?" Naruto asked him with a raised eyebrow successfully holding in his laughter, he still has a sense of humor and is not like those stuck up assholes who like to brag about their wisdom and belittle those that they believe to be beneath them like those rich kids…spoiled brats.

"Sorry, it's just I'm having trouble telling the difference between Charon and Chiron." Percy said. "Easy, one has an 'a' and the other has an 'i'." was Naruto's smart alack response getting an annoyed look from Percy.

"Okay, Charon, the one with the 'a', is the one who escorts the dead to the underworld, if they paid with a drachma, and Chiron, the one with the 'i', is a Centaur who trains demigods into heroes they were destined to be." Naruto told Percy. "Maybe you should go ask Mr. Brunner for some help if you have anything else that you may need help with." Naruto suggested.

"Okay, could you at least come with me so I don't be and idiot and say something stupid?" he asked Naruto who nodded. They left the dorm after Naruto told his clones to dispel if they hear someone walk to the door.

They walked down the stairs to the faculty offices. Most of them were dark and empty, but Mr. Brunner's door was ajar, light from his window stretching across the hallway floor. They were three steps away from the door when they heard voices inside the office. A voice that was definitely Grover's said, "…worried about Percy and Naruto, sir."

They froze. They were not usually eavesdroppers, even if Naruto was a ninja who do that to get information, but how could they not if they heard their best friend talking about them. They inched closer to the door, "…alone this summer," Grover was saying. "I mean, a kindly One in the school! Now that we know for sure, and they know too…"

"We would only make matters worse by rushing them," Mr. Brunner said. "We need Percy to mature more and I don't know what Naruto's presence would have with the camp."

"But they might not have time. The summer solstice deadline…"

"Will have to be resolved without them, Grover. Let Percy enjoy his ignorance while he still can and keep an eye on Naruto, he may be the one to help find what has been lost."

"Sir, they saw her…"

"Their imagination," Mr. Brunner insisted. "The Mist over the students and staff will be enough to convince them." Mr. Brunner said but then thought 'Though I get the feeling that Naruto already knows that something is wrong.'

"Sir, I…I can't fail in my duties again." Grover's voice was choked with emotion. "You know what that would mean."

"You haven't failed, Grover," Mr. Brunner said kindly. "I should have seen her for what she was. Now let's just worry about keeping them alive until next fall…" The mythology book in Percy's hands slipped and hit the floor with a loud thud. Mr. Brunner grew silent as Percy's heart was hammering as Naruto grabbed him and the book and ran into an empty room.

As they hid in the room, they heard a slow clop-clop-clop, like a muffled wood blocks, then a sound like an animal snuffling right outside the door as they saw a shadow through the window in the door and saw what they believe to be an archer's bow. The shadow paused in front of the glass, then moved one.

A bead of sweat trickled down Percy's neck as Naruto narrowed his eyes in thought, 'What are they plotting? How could I help with something that I have no clue what it is?' he thought as he and Percy ran back to the dorm.

(Meanwhile with Mr. Brunner and Grover)

Meanwhile somewhere in another hallway, Mr. Brunner spoke, "Nothing," he murmured. "My nerves haven't been right since the winter solstice."

"Mine neither," Grover said. "But I could have sworn…"

"Go back to the dorm," Mr. Brunner told him. "You've got a long day of exams tomorrow."

"Don't remind me."

The lights went out in Mr. Brunner's office. Grover walked back to the dorm he shared with Percy and opened the door with Naruto and Percy studying for the exams tomorrow, although Percy seemed to be freaked out a little. "Hey guys, how's the studying coming along?" he asked.

Percy just put his head down and thought that he was doomed while Naruto just looked at Grover and answered, "I'm doing fine but I don't know about Percy."

(Next Day)

Percy and Naruto just finished their three-hour Latin exam, Percy's eyes were swimming with all the Greek and Roman names he misspelled, Mr. Brunner called him back inside. Percy looked at Naruto, "Go ahead, seems he has something important to say to you." Naruto said getting a nod from Percy as he walked back inside.

Naruto just hoped that Mr. Brunner didn't realize that they were eavesdropping on him and Grover as he went to his dorm to pack.

(With Percy)

Percy walked closer to Mr. Brunner's desk thinking if he was caught spying on him last night.

"Percy," Mr. Brunner said as soon as Percy stopped in front of his desk. "Don't be discouraged about leaving Yancy. It's…It's for the best."

Percy knew that he was being kind by his tone and trying to make him feel better, but the words still embarrassed him. Even though he was speaking quietly, but the other students that finished their exam heard perfectly clear. Nancy smirked at Percy and made sarcastic kissing motions with her lips.

Percy mumbled, "Okay, sir."

"I mean…" Mr. Brunner wheeled his chair back and forth, like he was trying to think of some words that would be more comforting. "This isn't the right place for you. It was only a matter of time." Percy's eyes stung. Here was his favorite teacher, in front of the class, telling him that that he couldn't handle it. After saying he believed in him all year, now he was telling him that he was destined to get kicked out.

"Right." Percy said, trembling.

"No, no," Mr. Brunner said. "Oh confound it all. What I'm trying to say…you're not normal, Percy. That's nothing be…"

"Thanks," Percy blurted. "Thanks a lot, sir, for reminding me."

"Percy…"

But he was already gone.

(On a metro bus)

Percy would worry on how his friend Grover would survive without him being there, at least he would still have Naruto with him. But he was surprised to see that they were on the same bus as him. So there they were on a bus back to the city.

During the whole bus ride, Grover seemed to be glancing nervously down the aisle of the bus, watching the other passengers. It occurred to Percy and Naruto that Grover has always acted nervous and fidgety when they left Yancy, as if he expected something bad to happen. Before, they'd always assumed that he was worried about getting teased by the bullies. But there was nobody to tease and bully him on the greyhound.

Finally Percy couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Looking for Kindly Ones?" Naruto just sighed pinching the bridge of his nose while thinking, 'Goddamn it Percy!' while Grover nearly jumped out of his seat. "Wha…what do you mean?" he asked Percy.

Naruto and Percy confessed to overhearing his and Mr. Brunner's talk the night before the Exam. "How much did you hear?" Grover asked with a twitching eyebrow. "Oh not much…What's the summer solstice dead-line?" Percy asked.

Grover winced. "Look Percy…I was just worried for you and Naruto, see? I mean, hallucinating about demon math teacher's…"

"Grover…"

"And I was telling Mr. Brunner that maybe you two were overstressed or something, because there was no such person as Mrs. Dobbs, and…"

"Grover, sorry to say this but you suck at lying because your ears turn pink when you lie." Naruto interrupted Grover pointing at his ears that, like he said, were turning pink.

Grover then fished out two grubby business cards out of his shirt pocket. "Just take these, okay? In case you two need me this summer."

Both cards were in fancy script, which was murder on Percy's dyslexic eyes while Naruto was barely able to read:

Grover Underwood

Keeper

Half-blood Hill

Long Island, New York

(800) 009 – 0009

"What's Half…?" Naruto tried to say but was interrupted by Grover, "Don't say it aloud!" he yelped. "That's my, um…summer address." Percy looked saddened a little. Even Grover had a summer home, but he didn't even suspect that Grover and his family were rich like the others at Yancy. Naruto just looked at Grover not believing him for a second.

"Okay," Percy said glumly. "So, like, if I wanted to visit your mansion."

Grover nodded. "Or…or if you need me."

"Why would I need you?" Percy asked a little harshly getting a whack to the head from Naruto for not choosing his words wisely.

Grover blushed right down to his Adam's apple. "Look, Percy, Naruto, the truth is, I…I kind of have to protect you two." They just stared at him. All year long, Percy got into fights just to get the bullies away from Grover while Naruto had to scare them away when things got too out of hand. And here he was acting like he was the one who defended them.

"Grover," Percy said, "What are you protecting us from?"

Suddenly there was a huge grinding noise under their feet. Black smoke started to pour out from the dashboard and the whole bus was filled with a smell like rotten eggs. The bus driver cursed and limped the greyhound over to the side of the highway.

After a few minutes of clanking around in the engine compartment, the driver announced that they'd all have to get off. Grover, Percy, and Naruto filed outside with everybody else.

They were on a stretch of road…no place you'd notice if you did not break down there. On their side of the highway was nothing but maple trees and garbage from passing cars. 'Slobs.' Naruto thought looking at the trash. On the other side, across four lanes of asphalt shimmering with the afternoon heat, was an old-fashioned fruit stand.

The stuff on sale looked really good: heaping boxes of blood-red cherries and apples, walnuts and apricots, jugs of cider in a claw-foot tub full of ice. There were no customers, just three old ladies sitting in rocking chairs in the shade of a maple tree, knitting the biggest pair of socks Percy and Naruto has ever seen. They were the size of sweaters, but they were clearly socks. The lady on the right knitted one. The lady on the left knitted the other one. The lady in the middle held an enormous basket of electric-blue yarn.

All three of them looked ancient, with pale faces wrinkled like fruit leather, silver hair tied back in white bandannas, bony arms sticking out of bleached cotton dresses. The weirdest thing was, they seemed to be looking right at Percy.

Naruto and Percy looked at Grover to ask what was happening and saw that the blood had drained from his face making go pale while his nose was twitching.

"Grover?" Percy said. "Hey, man…"

"Tell me they're not looking at you. They are, aren't they?"

"Yeah. Weird, huh? You think those socks would fit me?"

"Percy, even if I do not know what is going on, now is not the time to be making jokes." Naruto scolded Percy.

"Not funny, Percy. Not funny at all."

The old lady in the middle took out a huge pair of scissors, gold and silver, long bladed, like shears. They heard Grover catch his breath. "We're getting on the bus," he told them. "Come on."

"What?" Percy said. "It's a thousand degrees in there." Naruto looked at Grover and how he was panicking over the old ladies. 'Why is he afraid of them? Are they more dangerous than Mrs. Dobbs?' he thought.

"Come on!" he pried open the door and climbed inside the bus, but Naruto and Percy decided to stay and see what is the problem with the three old ladies. Across the road, the old ladies were still watching Percy as the middle one had cut the yarn, and the boys could swear that they heard the snip from across four lanes of roaring traffic. Her two friends balled up the electric-blue socks, leaving them to wonder who would need socks that big, Bigfoot or Godzilla.

At the rear of the bus, the driver pulled out a big chunk of smoking metal from the engine compartment. The bus shuddered, and the engine roared back to life as the passengers cheered. "Damn right!" yelled the driver as he slapped his hat against the bus. "Everybody back on the board!"

Once they got back on, Percy started feeling feverish, as if he caught the flu or something. Grover didn't look much better. He was shivering and his teeth were chattering.

"Grover?"

"Yeah?"

"What are you not telling us?"

Grover dabbed his forehead with his shirt sleeve. "Naruto, Percy, what did you see back at the fruit stand?"

"You mean the old ladies? What is it about them, man? They're not like…Mrs. Dobbs, are they?" Percy asked Grover while Naruto started to think about what has happened to him and Percy at Yancy Academy.

Grover's expression was hard to read, but Percy got the feeling that the fruit-stand ladies were something much, much worse than Mrs. Dobbs. "Just tell me what you saw."

"The one in the middle took out her scissors and cut the yarn" Naruto said to Grover who closed his eyes and made a gesture with his fingers that might've been crossing himself, but it wasn't. It was something else, something almost…older.

"You saw her snip the cord." he said.

"Yeah, so?" but even as he said it, he knew it was a big deal by the look on Grover's face. "This is not happening," Grover mumbled. He started chewing on the tip of his thumb. "I don't want this to be like last time."

"What last time?" Percy asked as Naruto realized the situation that had just occurred earlier on today. "Always the sixth grade. They never get passed the sixth grade."

"Grover," Percy said, Grover was starting to scare him while Naruto seemed to be thinking about something. "What are you talking about?"

"Let me walk you two home from the bus station. Promise me." Grover requested them.

This seemed to be a strange request to Percy who promised he could while Naruto simply nodded his head.

"Is this a superstition or something?" Percy asked. 'No it's probably something far more worse than a simple superstition.' Naruto thought as he stared out the window.

Grover gave no answer to Percy's question. "Grover…that snipping of the yarn. Does that mean that someone is going to die?" Percy asked while Grover just looked at him mournfully, like he was already picking the kind of flowers that would go best with his coffin. 'The real question is, is Percy going to die or is someone close to him will die?' Naruto thought not liking this one bit.

Chapter End
