***NONE OF THE CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY BELONG TO ME. THEY ARE PROPERTY OF RICK RIORDAN AND JONATHAN M. SHIFF
All four of them went out to the pier the next day, looking to rent a boat to get to Mako Island. They were walking around when they spotted a speed boat with a "For Rent" sign on it. They walked up to the boat and met this really nice guy named Lewis. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. Annabeth could tell he was sort of a nerd by how awkward he was around them.
"So, we were wondering if we could rent out your boat for the day," Piper said, as she was our negotiator. Annabeth could tell she added a little charmspeak into her voice but she really didn't need too. This guy was so nice and no doubt was going to let us use it.
"Yeah, definitely. Just let me clean it up a little. And don't worry about the price, since you're only using it for a day. May I ask where you are going?" he responded.
"Mako Island," Annabeth said. She saw something change in his eyes. His body stiffened. Annabeth could tell he knew something about it. He was about to say something when someone shouted his name.
"Lewis! We need... you," the girl from the airport paused when she saw who Lewis was talking too.
"Hey, Cleo. This is Percy, Annabeth, Piper, and Jason. They are going to use my boat for today," Lewis introduced us. She smiled but Annabeth could tell she figured out who Percy was too.
"Funny seeing you here," the girl with curly hair, Rikki, said.
"Rikki, be nice. We shouldn't hold anything against him. He made up for it," the other girl, Emma said. Eyeing Percy wearily.
"He did?" Jason asked, glancing at Percy.
"Yes. He apologized," Emma explained. Although Annabeth could tell Cleo told them about Percy saving her.
"I'm confused. You guys know each other?" Lewis asked. Cleo explained what happened. Lewis didn't look surprised that Rikki was still holding onto it.
"I think we're just going to go. Thanks so much, Lewis. We'll have it back to you in a little while. Oh and Rikki, please let it go," Piper said, loading on the charmspeak. All the anger left Rikki's face.
All four demigods got onto Lewis's boat and sailed off.
"They are going to Mako," Lewis said.
"Lewis! The full moon is tonight!" Cleo shouted at him as the demigods sped away on Lewis's boat.
