A/N Hi people! I haven't got much to say except I have a band concert tomorrow, wish me luck! (Booknerd btw) So, this chapter might make you cry, I almost cried. So, here is Chapter 9. One more and we are at ten! Woo! Anyway, chapter 9...

We do not own PJO or HoO, that's Rick

Chapter 9- I is for Iapetus a.k.a. Bob

Percy, Annabeth, Jason, and Piper sat in a circle near the lake. Annabeth was leaning on Percy and Jason had his arm around Piper. Percy and Annabeth were telling them the story of Iapetus, the bravest Titan.

"So," started Percy. "There was once a Titan named Iapetus. and I'm pretty sure he helped Kronos kill his dad. But, there were cookies involved so I don't really blame him. i mean, not that I would kill my dad for cookies..."

"Not even if they were blue?" Annabeth asked, smirking.

Percy considered this a moment.

"Still no. I could just ask my mom to make some. Hers are the best anyway."

"So back to the story."

"Right. So, after they killed their dad, in came the Gods. They had the Titan War. Why is it called the Titan War? The Gods were in it too," Percy pointed out.

"Also," Percy added, "Iapetus was in charge of the West because he was calm. Anyways, the gods won the Titan War, so Iapetus was chained up by the Elder Cyclopes, after the Hekatonkheires forced him to kneel before Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. He was imprisoned in a maximum security part of Tartarus, along with the other Titans."

"When Kronos was...uh...put back together? Reincarnated? I don't know. Anyway, when Kronos came back to start another war, which was a few years ago, he released some other Titans. Iapetus included," Annabeth continued.

"Yeah. And then me, Thalia, and Nico battled him. He was winning until I pushed him in the River Lethe, and he forgot everything."

"And you convinced him that his name was Bob." Nico said, sitting down next to Jason and Piper.

"Right. And that we were friends."

"He stayed in my dad's palace most of the time after that. Some days he walked around the underworld. The days he was at the palace, we would talk and stuff," Nico said.

"And you convinced him to help us get through Tartarus," Percy said silently. "He told us to say hello to the stars from him as he closed the doors."

Annabeth wiped away a tear.

"You know, if you think about it, Zoe was the daughter of Atlas. Atlas was the son of Iapetus, or Bob. The makes Iapetus Zoe's grandfather. Zoe was put among the stars when she passed away. That mean Bob was asking us to say hello to his granddaughter, Zoe," Annabeth pointed out, very close to shedding more tears.

Nico nodded, "Bob always talked about the stars like they were a living person."

Percy took Annabeth's hand, and held it in his. "You know what? We should talk to Thalia more often." Annabeth smiled, and Nico nodded.

"She reminds me of my sister a little." Nico said.

They all smiled and looked out across the lake, watching as the sun began to set. The stars were close to coming out and they had to give them a message from a brave titan named Bob.
