Okay guys, here is the new update! I'm sorry if you guys feel that all of this chapter is kind of awkward. I also included a rather funny moment, so I hope you enjoy this. Now, ON WITH THE STORY!:

Annabeth

Annabeth had packed all of her things, the quest was on. Naturally, being Seaweed Brain, Percy had still not packed, and was frantically tossing socks, boxers, and pants into a suitcase. Percy was still wearing his boxers, and needed to get dressed and take shower, she refused to kiss him otherwise. They were supposed to have left at dawn, but that was an hour ago, and now Percy was finally ready. Percy was wearing his CHB T-Shirt, a blue zip-up hoodie over it, and jean pants. Percy would be driving, since he was the oldest of them. They were all going to Montanna, to find the Banner of Olympus.

She gave Percy a quick kiss, and pushed him out the door. Annabeth felt a little sore, because of something Seaweed Brain and she did last night. Last night was amazing for her, just like their fist time almost several days ago. This time, they didn't have to worry to much about anyone walking in, unlike on the Argo II. Percy slipped his hand into her fingers, and she held onto his hand. They walked towards the SUV that Chiron was letting them use. Jason, Clarisse, Gustav, and Frank were already there, Jason and Gustav in conversation, while Clarisse and Frank were having an awkwards conversation.

When Jason saw them, his eyes turned golden for a second, but then were back to normal so quickly, she thought she had imagined it. "Finally, now that the couple is here," he said, causing Annabeth to blush a little, "I assume we can leave?" She nodded, as did Percy. They were starting to file into the back, Percy went up to the front, while Jason sat shotgun.

"Umm, why are you sitting there?" Percy asked him.

"Well, you'll need my coordinates if we're to get there in a few days." Jason answered, his voice had a little edge, something she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"Okay, do we have a GPS then?" She asked, entering the conversation now. Jason turned to face her, and she could've sworn his eyes glowed gold again.

"I asked Chiron for one, but he said no, but Travis managed to get one." Jason replied, and that shocked her. Travis was still in a pit of depression, and she thought that he was still locked up in the Hermes cabin.

"Where did he get one?" Clarisse called from the back of the SUV. Jason looked down a little, like he was ashamed.

"I had to pressure him into letting us have it, it was Connor's." Annabeth now knew why Jason looked ashamed. He had pressured Travis into giving up one of Connor's things.

"Well, okay then, put in the coordinates and we can go." Percy said. Annabeth was about to climb into the middle seat behind Percy, when Leo came tottering over Half-Blood Hill.

"WAIT! I NEED TO TELL ANNABETH SOMETHING!" Leo shouted. Annabeth exchanged a confused look with Percy, and walked over to Leo.

"What is it?" she asked him when she arrived.

"I need you to keep an eye on Jason, I have a horrible suspicion about something." Leo said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"What do you mean?" Annabeth said, a pit filling her stomach.

"I mean, I've noticed his eyes are turning gold, he talks to himself sometimes, and his voice sometimes alternates between pitches." Leo called off his list of notes.

"I noticed the eyes turning colors part, but not the others." She told him, "Anything else?"

"No that's it-" Leo said, and was cut off when a centaur trotted up to the top of Half-Blood Hill.

"LEO! I said we need to get your bandages changed!" the centaur yelled.

"NO! SWEET HEPHAESTUS, THAT HURTS!" Leo shrieked, "I'll see you in a few days, right now I have to hobble away!" and Leo began limping/hobbling away from the centaur. Annabeth probably would've been laughing, but what Leo had told her chilled her right to the bone. She walked off to the SUV, her mind reeling. When she got there, she turned and saw that the centaur had caught Leo, and had tied him up.

"Come on, we're gonna go change your bandages." the centaur said. Leo was wailing and begging him not to. "Nonsense, I'll let you have some Root Beer afterwards."

"NOOOOO! THAT'S ALL YOU'VE LET ME DRINK FOR THE PAST FOUR DAYS!" Leo screamed, and began crying literal tears. When she got to the SUV, Percy, Gustav, Frank, and Jason were all laughing, even Clarisse was chuckling. Laughs are apparently contagious, because Annabeth started laughing too. When they settled down, and she had buckled herself up, Percy pulled out of the camp. She saw that Clarisse and Frank were sitting in the back, and sitting behind Jason was Gustav.

For the first hour or so of the drive, they tried to sing camp songs, but it wasn't the same without the Apollo Cabin. Next, they tried to tell each other about their achievements, naturally, Percy wowed everyone. Then they began idley chatting with each other, She talked to Percy, while Jason and Gustav talked, and Clarisse and Frank intiated another awkward conversation. She looked at the time, and saw it was only 10:00 in the morning, only three hours driving, and her ADHD was already getting the better of her.

So that's basically how the day of driving went, they stopped for lunch, it was McDonalds, and then they drove until 8:30 at night, where they stopped at a motel. Percy and she shared a room, Jason and Gustav, and then Clarisse and Frank. She shared a bed with her Seaweed Brain, but they didn't do anything that night.

She woke up the next morning, and found something very shocking about the motel. She walked out the front door for some fresh air, expecting to see the same highway, instead something peculiar met her eyes. They were in the middle of a wheat field, and the SUV was nowhere to be found. Annabeth quickly ran inside, and shook Percy until he woke up, he ran outside as well. By now, her shrieking had woken everyone up, so Jason, Gustav, Frank, Clarisse all came rushing out. Jason just gaped at their surroundings.

"I can't believe this, it's impossible!" Jason said, pulling out the GPS.

"What? What's impossible?" Percy asked.

"The shrine, it's right under our feet!" Jason revealed.

See, as I told you, I included a funny moment. As I also said, I'm sorry if you found this chapter a little awkward, but hey, every author has an awkward chapter once in awhile! So, please leave a review, I always enjoy reading them. And As Always, Have A Nice Day!
