I stared at them. They were laughing, talking, and having fun. But I could tell. I could tell that something was missing. The big gaping hole that I could fix, that I had to fix. And you bet your drachmas that I was going to do it. No matter what it took, because this was now my responsibility, I have got to find their parents. Sheesh, I thought, now I'm starting to sound like Annabeth. I went back to my dinner, digging in to the warm BBQ, wondering how I was going to send the invites.
That night the campfire rose higher then ever, it was bright purple. I was sitting next to Chiron talking about the minor details of the plan.
"So I was thinking about doing it this Friday,"
"Sounds great, so how are you going to send out the invites?"
"Maybe an Iris Message or an invitation."
"Why don't I take you and your group up to Olympus tomorrow to deliver the cards to all the Gods who are there?" he suggested.
"What about my dad? Down there under the sea? Or Lord Hades who we have to invite? But we also can't forget the Hunters and Artemis," I asked.
"Well we can send a message with Lord Hermes to them, and to all those who aren't on Olympus when we arrive. Now I must go inform the Gods of our trip tomorrow," he replied.
"Okay."
"We might be leaving early, so tell your group to get some sleep. Also you might want to prepare the cards tonight, you can make one and I'll have the rest duplicated. Well good night Percy," he decided.
He walked off into the night 'til all I could hear were the other campers singing and the fire crackling. Then the song ended and we were told to go back to our cabins. I walked back over to mine. I changed into a pair of starfish covered boxers and a plain white t-shirt, and plopped down on a chair next to the desk that I shared with myself. I pulled out some paper and began to write. A couple hours and several hundred sheets of paper later I came up with the invite, it looked a little something like this:

After I finished creating the invites, I stumbled over to my bed, and fell asleep. I woke up a few hours later, just as the sun was just finished rising. I looked over to my alarm clock, 6:38. Great, I rolled out of bed and went over to the closet. I spent a long time in front of it; I never usually spent this much time picking out my clothes. I usually just pick out a shirt and some pants that just happen to match. Finally I decided on a Sea blue polo shirt and some kaki shorts that went down to my knees. I didn't put them on though; instead I lay them down on my bed and went to go take a shower.
Five minutes later I stepped out and dried off, then got dressed. I brushed my teeth and attempted to comb my hair. I did one last glance at the whole of me and made my way out of the bathroom and into the main part of my cabin, the water from the fountain creating a perfect mist. I walked over to it and pulled out a golden drachma, I looked at it and with that I was about to toss it into the water when the conch horn sounded for breakfast. Okay, note to self: call Mom and Tyson later. With that I walked out of the cabin.
I walked toward the breakfast pavilion, catching up with Rebecca, who was walking along wearing her usual.
"Hey Rebecca why aren't you dressed up?" I inquired.
"Dressed up for what?" she asked, surprised.
"Oh, didn't I tell you?" I thought I had told everyone.
"Tell me what?" she was getting confused.
"That you, Harry, Stewart, and I are going to Olympus today to hand deliver the invites," I replied.
"Oh, when are we leaving?" she asked.
"I'm not sure exactly, but sometime today. I'll go ask Chiron," I answered.
We walked on together silently until Rebecca called out,
"Hey Stewart! Over here!"
He walked over, a smile looming across his face as he spotted Rebecca.
"Hey, waz up dudes?" he said giving Rebecca a one armed hug and friendly punching me in the arm.
"Not much just that we're going with Percy to Olympus today!"
"No way dude! Seriously!? That is so cool! When are we leaving?" he asked excitedly.
"Umm… I'm not quit sure; I'll have to ask Chiron. And also you're going to have to dress up a bit to go to Olympus so go change after breakfast. Rebecca, can you go tell this to Harry?" I explained.
"Sure thing. Oh look! Harry!" she pointed out and with that she ran off to catch up with Harry. I looked over at Stewart who was still walking next to me.
"So how are things with you and Rebecca?" I asked.
"Huh?" he replied, dumbly.
"Don't play dumb, I can see that things are umm… clicking with you two," I replied smiling at his act.
"When you say clicking do you mean…" he began.
"Percy! Over here!" It was Chiron.
I walked over to him, he looked down at me with his thousand year old eyes, a smile playing on his face.
"Percy, I have made arrangements for you and your group to go up to Olympus, Apollo has volunteered to drive you."
"Well that was nice of him," I muttered under my breath.
"So do you have your invites?"
"Yes," I pulled them out and handed them to Chiron, who took them and read them over.
"Very Good, I'll go get Mr. D to copy them, shall I. Oh and Apollo will be here at 10 o'clock sharp." With that he walked off towards Mr. D who waved his hand and 13 beautiful party invites appeared where the crumpled piece of paper had been just a second before. Chiron picked them up and walked over to me.
"Take care you don't ruin them, because Mr. D says that he will not remake them," he warned.
"Okay," I replied but Chiron had already left.
"Hey there Seaweed Brain, why are you all dressed up?" said Annabeth from behind.
"Well," I said, pulling a Stewart and puffing out my chest importantly, "I'm going to Olympus today."
She looked at me skeptically, "Whatever you say Seaweed Brain," she said as she rolled her eyes and walked away, but I could tell that she was impressed.
