'This is not going to be a fast trip to get something back real quick,' Piper announced. Jason rolled his eyes and put his magazine down. 'Of course not. I thought we knew that when we... accepted, so to say.' He turned back to the magazine.

'Yes. Accepted so to say indeed.' She stared out the window and sighed. 'Why did Odin even borrow something from someone from another pantheon? Don't they have Cellphones in Asgard?' Jason put his magazine down again.

'Yeah, that's another thing I have been thinking about. Zeus muttered something about having borrowed it in nineteen thirty. So...'

'So it is probably huge. One of those big old phones. And we'll have to find a way to bring it back that isn't through public transport because sitting on a bus with a huge ancient Phone is weird.'
Jason took a deep breath. 'Basically.' Piper hid her head in her hands.

'Why did I ever think this demigod business was boring, only because I did not get a quest after three days?'

'I was thinking the same thing and I have no idea.'

After a long trip and several changes of the bus, they arrived in Boston. Jason put his hands on his hips and looked around. 'Magnus said there was an entrance to hotel Valhalla in a Forever 21.'

'Just A forever 21?'

'Did you expect something fancier?'

'No, what I meant was he did not specify which Forever 21? Or is there only one in Boston?'

Jason bit his lip. 'He didn't specify and of course not. We will just have to figure it out.'

Piper took a deep breath. 'I'll go ask somebody where the closest one is.'

'What do you mean you need to know where Forever 21 is? You can just use google Maps, can you?' The not very helpful gentlemen answered. 'Now move along!' Piper sighed deeply.

'This is useless.'

'We asked one person!'

'And he ruined it for me.' She got her Phone out of her pocket.

'...Eh, Magnus said he was really busy, Pipes...'

'With what, Ballroom dancing to the death? By all means it cannot be more important than evading Zeus's wrath.' She pressed the contact and called Magnus.

'Magnus!'

'Who?...'

'Piper Mclean, from camp half-blood, on a mission!'

'...Oh. Why are you calling? I am in the middle of tango dancing to the death and it is getting dire...'

'What forever 21?'

'If I send you the address, will you leave me alone?'

'Pretty likely.' She heard a ping.

'It's in your messages. Wait! STAY AWAY! Eh, bye Pipes!' She heard a click as Magnus hung up.

'What a crazy bunch, those norsemen. Tango to the death, how do you actually come up with it? Now, the Forever 21 is not that far off, let's go,' She muttered while accesing Google Maps (she could have just done that from the start, but calling Magnus was just easier). She grabbed Jason's hand. Jason took a deep breath. 'I assume you know what you're doing.'

They made it to the correct Forever 21 (And passed at least three others on the way. That's why places have addresses, Magnus). Somehow they found the entrance to Hotel Valhalla. It lead them to the main lobby. When they entered, The manager gave them a bored look. 'Eh? Oh, you two must be looking for Odin. You're here to bring The fossil... I mean the Phone, right?' Jason nodded.

'Yeah that. The... Phone-like thing.' The manager laughed.

'I like you. I'll call him over, he's in Asgard, you know...' The demigods nodded, while the manager picked up a slightly less old looking Phone than the one they were seeking.

Five minutes later, the manager put down the Phone and looked at Piper and Jason. They immediately realised something was wrong. 'Alright, kids, he needs you two to come to the throne room.'

'Like... on Asgard itself?'

'Eh... I think so?'

'Isn't that illegal?'

'Not if you two have permission. Now, chop chop, the Bifrost is right over there. Run.' Piper and Jason followed that advice. 'Why did he say run in such a threatening voice?' Piper asked, while they ran towards the bifrost.

'I have literally no idea, but I am not going to see what happens if we don't follow it up.'

They entered the Bifrost. 'Woah! It's shiny!' Piper said slightly too loud.

'It's like the Rainbow road in mario kart...' Jason muttered. Piper laughed.

'I can guarantee you that some people went kart racing on this bridge once. Or more than once,' she joked. Jason shrugged. 'Wouldn't even be the weirdest thing they did around here.'

'Children, no hanging around on the bifrost. Go where you need to go.' Jason turned around. Heimdall was standing on the bridge, looking way to excited for the tone he had just talked to them with. He looked like this was the first interesting thing that happened in days. 'Eh, lord, we don't know how to get to Asgard...' Piper begun.

'You...you two are not allowed to go there.' Heimdall looked like they had gone crazy.

'The manager send us,' Jason muttered. The god looked them straight in the eye while getting a very modern Phone out of his pocket and taping on it for some time.

'Quick trip to get my phone back,' Piper whispered to Jason. Jason rolled his eyes.

'Something is telling me we are just beginning the journey!' His voice was sarcastically happy.

Heimdall was done with calling within a minute, but decided that he could take his time to check his social media for six more minutes while Piper and Jason were walking around on the bifrost and waiting for his reaction.

'Children! You are allowed to go to Asgard, if you stay within the main hall and the throne room!' The god announced. He tapped his staff on the ground, which made an extra way of the rainbow road open up. Piper and Jason made a small bow and ran to the second way. 'Why are we running?' Piper asked. 'Because I do not want to stick on a slightly different Olympus longer than necessary.'

'Completely agree. Let's go.'

'Those... those are large doors,' Piper muttered. Jason looked up at them.

'They are.'

'Can you imagine how large the doors in Jotunheim must be?'

'I don't want to. Let's get inside.' Jason laid a hand on the door. Luckily, he didn't have to push, because the doors just opened. Piper ran inside. 'I am not going to risk the doors closing.' Jason hadn't thought that before, but sprinted into the hall after her.

The hall was long and big and probably designed to make people give up on walking to the throne room, but Piper and Jason did it anyway. 'This is a pretty hall,' Piper mentioned, just to say something and not walk in a silent hallway. Jason nodded. 'Yeah, yeah, it really is. And cold.' Piper gave a nervous laugh and huddled closer to him.
'This place is weird. We shouldn't be here.'

'I feel the same way.'

After about fifteen minutes they reached the end of the hallway (It was one huge hallway). There was yet another large set of doors by the end. 'I bet you twenty quid that there is another hallway behind this door.' Jason rolled his eyes, but that was only because he didn't want to enter the bet out of fear that she was correct.

Luckily, she wasn't. There was a small room behind the doors. On the wall in front of them hung two signs, one reading 'Please wait until you are called into the throne room!' With a smaller bit written under it in pencil reading 'Unless that takes longer than fifteen minutes, than feel free to barge in!'

'We could just barge in and pretend like we have been waiting here for fifteen minutes,' Piper suggested. Jason shook his head. 'I think they'll figure out that we haven't waited.'

'So what?' Jason decided not to react to that. The second sign just read 'In Frigg we trust,' which was sort of weird, but not that Piper and Jason cared for the first five minutes of waiting.

'Honestly, I think Frigg is the one who owns all the braincells around here,' Piper mumbeld after those five minutes.

'No, everyone shares one braincel, except Frigg and Odin, who own like twenty million, but Frigg uses them most of the time,' Jason said with a grin on his face. Piper laughed.

'True, probably. But what can we say? On Olympus nobody seems to use the brain cells, except Athena occasionally.'

Jason laughed as well. 'Well, I think Zeus just has them all, but never uses them. You know, because he can!' Piper almost dropped to the floor laughing, but then the door opened.

'Jason Grace and Piper Mclean?'

'Here!' Jason and Piper said at once, while scrambling up from their seats.

The servant (They assumed it was a servant) lead them through the door. He suppressed a yawn while the kids walked through. Different day, usual nonsense, he thought.

Odin was sitting in the middle of the room, at a dinner table, with a few other gods just hanging around there. Who they assumed was Freya, who was on Asgard for some reason (I don't know, I just narrate this story), winked at Jason and Piper, who both looked away, blushing.

'Oh, you two must be the servants to get the Phone back.'

'Well, we're demigods, so technically...' piper snapped

'Yes, that is us!' Jason swiftly said, talking over Piper.

'Zeus sends demigods to get an ancient Phone?' one of the gods at the table asked. 'Man, how many are there? Shouldn't you kids be training for the important stuff?'

Piper and Jason were kinda stunned at that. 'Eh... of course, it is a divine issue...' Jason begun

'What? Getting a Phone that you cannot use? I don't think...'

'Aesir, Freya, please stop. Here, I got the Phone under the table.' He got a plastic bag from under the table. It looked even bigger than Piper and Jason had been thinking. '...Thanks, lord.'

'Wait! Don't you two want to know how to get it to work?'

'Eh, well, I guess...' Jason waffled.

'No, sorry, Lord Odin, we need to run! Otherwise our mentor will get angry!' Piper yelled. She made a quick bow and ran away, carrying the huge plastic bag in her arms. Jason just stayed behind, not knowing what to say. He heard Freya laugh behind him.

'I like that one! Can I keep her when it's her time?' Jason absolutely did not want to hear about Piper dying, he was already to afraid of that, so he bowed as well, muttered a 'good day' and left.

He caught up with Piper easily - she was slowed down by the weight of the phone, after all. 'We are going to die!'

'No, this is Asgard, Jason, no-one cares.' Jason thought about that, while he took one of the handles of the plastic bag. '... I am not reassured, but I can see how that is true...' He muttered.

After another minute (It's not like they had no training at all) Piper started to slow down. 'Alright, I think that is far enough.'

'You aren't entirely sure either, are you?'

'No.'

'A quick trip to Asgard...'

'A quick trip to Asgard indeed,' Piper chimed after him in the same sarcastic tone.

Halfway through the hallway, they realised that running through it was a stupid idea. Piper coughed. 'Oh help.'

'We'll get through it.'

'Can't you fly?'

'I don't dare to do so on Asgard! For the same reason I don't want to do it on Olympus!'

'Why not?'

'Why not? Well, maybe...'

'Mr. Grace, you are fully allowed to fly as of now,' they heard a calm, female voice say behind them. They stopped dead in their tracks and turned around. A small stairway had emerged from the walls. A woman was standing on it, although she was slowly walking downstairs.

'Lady Frigg...' Jason muttered. To his surprise, Piper bowed without saying anything.

'Yes, that is me. And I grant you permission to fly down the hallway.' Jason didn't really know how to react. So he just muttered 'Thanks Ma'am' and slowly backed away. Piper still stared at Frigg like a deer in the headlight.

'Thanks, ma'am,' she eventually said. Jason wondered if she noticed she had said the exact same thing as he did. He managed to hold the bag correctly and levitated a few centimeters into the air. 'Come, Pipes,' he mumbled, while pushing her against the shoulder. Piper bowed one more time, twirled around and ran away. Frigg shook her head, realising that she really had a specific power over people purely out of aura.

Piper took the plastic bag out of Jason's hands. In return, Jason picked Piper from the floor. This way, they made the end of the hallway within a minute.

'Woo!'

'Say that. Now let's just get out!' he yelled, while running through the door.

They didn't even pay attention to Heimdall when running towards the path that lead back to Hotel Valhalla. 'Hey! No running! The bridge can be slippery and I do not want to be responsible for two premature deaths!'

'We'll take responsibility!' Piper yelled over her shoulder.

'They all say that!' Maybe it was the fact that he was a god, or just the slightly panicked but at the same time bored tone he had said that at, but Jason stopped running and made sure Piper slowed down as well.

'Never thought I'd be this happen to see Boston!' Piper cheered, when she stepped out of Forever 21. An old man gave her a weird look. Jason took a deep breath.

'...Pipes Mclean, you are completely right. Let's go find the bus stop.' He laid his free arm around Pipers' shoulder. Together, they walked to the bus stop. It didn't matter that it was really uncomfortable for Jason to walk the way he did.
