I know that some parts in my story don't make sense, so after I finish this story, I'm going to revise it!

BTW, thanks, mwh, for the names and Grover's age! (Which is 44)

I said, Hey! Wassup galfriend! You need to answer with, I'm fine! Sheesh! What is up with half-bloods these days?

Athena was gawking at the pegasus who said that, "You can speak?"

Duh.

Athena's eye twitched

"What's going on?" Aiglos asked

She sighed and said, "This pegasus is talking to me."

What's that supposed to mean?

"That I don't know if I'm sane or insane." Athena replied coolly

Aiglos chuckled, "I'll leave you to talk to the horses."

Athena blushed slightly and nodded.

The pegasus snorted, So, ya wanna get to know me?

Athena laughed, "No. I only date within the human species."

I mean, yo Athena, daugh'er of Percy! I'm Nightcloud, Blackjack's son!

"You mean you're the Blackjack's son?"

Didn't I jus' say that?

Athena sighed, "I need to practice flying so are you going to help or not?"

*With Percy Jr.*

Percy sighed as he flopped on the soil, 'Where in the hell- I mean Underworld, is Athena?'

Then a black stallion leapt over his head saying, Yo, Percy number 2!

"Huh?"

So are you Percy 1 or 2?

"Er… 2?"

Oh. I thought you were the one that saved me… Oh yeah! I'm Blackjack!

"Blackjack… Oh! The one my dad saved from when Luke was still evil?"

Yeah? Wait!!!!! Is Luke here?

"No."

Oh. I wanted to mash his head together.

Percy looked at the pegasus weirdly. Blackjack just looked back and cocked its head.

What?

"I'm thinking I want flying lessons."

*With Annabeth*

Annabeth sat down on her bed in the Big House. Thalia sat down next to her, "How's life?"

Annabeth sighed, "Cruel. As usual."

Thalia smiled weakly, "Want to kill some monsters?"

"Yeah." Annabeth said dully

"Great! Let's go! Get your dagger, cap and… The you-know-what."

Annabeth sighed, "Do I have to?"

"Yup! I've already got my Hunter weapons."

Annabeth got up and went to her room and got her items, including some ambrosia and nectar. Thalia then walked into the room with a faintly glowing key, "Looking for this?"

Annabeth looked up from an opened drawer and nodded, "Yeah. Thanks, Thal!"

"So when… Are you ever going to… Move on?" Thalia asked carefully.

Annabeth sighed, "I don't know… I just want to send some monsters back to the Underworld."

Thalia grinned, "That's the Annabeth I know."

Annabeth grinned back, "Let's go!"

*With Percy Jr.*

Percy screamed as the pegasus flew downwards, he clutched hardly at the black pegasus's mane.

Blackjack moaned, Not so hard! Even boss wasn't this hopeless.

Percy sighed, "Maybe I'm not cut out for being a pegasii rider."

*Athena's POV*

Athena grinned as she soared into the air, the wind rippling through her hair.

(That rhymed!)

Nightcloud neighed and said, Hey! You've go' flyin' talen'!

Athena laughed, "I think I got that from my father!"

I don' know 'bout tha', but I think tha' ya do!

Athena smiled and realised how comfortable she felt on the shoulder blades of Nightcloud.

The beating of his wings were soothing and rhythmic, almost lulling her into sleep.

She gently squeezed his sides and he flew downwards to the stables.

She then spotted her brother, falling of another black pegasus onto the straw floor.

Athena smirked as she hopped off Nightcloud and gave him an apple nearby.

"So, was it fun?" She asked Percy.

He groaned from the floor and said, "No. I almost fell three times."

*Annabeth…*

Annabeth took out a piece of cloth and put it on the floor, watching for monsters to come out.

Thalia gestured her to follow her into the bushes and wait.

The blond woman slid through the leaves, not making a sound, and soon enough, a rustle of wind through leaves alerted the two women that a monster was there.

Annabeth's eyes gleamed.

It's an Amphisbaena!

(I've got the description… This is from Wikipedia: This early description of the amphisbaena depicts a venomous, duo-headed snakelike creature. However, Medieval and later drawings often show it with two or more scaled feet, particularly chicken feet and feathered wings. Some even depict it as a horned, dragon-like creature with a serpent-headed tail and small, round ears, while others have both "necks" of equal size so that it cannot be determined which is the rear head. Many descriptions of the amphisbaena say its eyes glow like candles or lightning,)

The dragon-like monster edged towards the cloth, sniffing it.

Its tail nipped at the main head and bit the cloth.

Then Thalia jumped out of the bushes, at the same time as shooting two celestial bronze arrows at each head.

Annabeth climbed up a tree and jumped off it, forcing her dagger inside its hide and piercing its heart.

The Amphisbaena disintegrated under her.

She smirked and said to Thalia, "That was easy."

The dark haired lieutenant of the Hunters smiled back, "Yes it was."

Thalia went to the trophy of the Amphisbaena and picked it up.

Annabeth looked at it and grimaced, "You can have it."

Thalia grinned, "Are you sure you don't want the tooth?"

The daughter of Athena nodded, "I'd rather leave it to someone else then accidently get poisoned by it."

Thalia rolled her eyes and put the tooth into her silver bag, "More monsters or what?"

Annabeth smiled as she pulled out a bag of chips, "Food."
