Wow, long time since I updated this. For those of you who care to read this fanfiction, sorry for the extremely long wait, I've been busy watching Doctor Who and writing fanfictions about it! By the way, I need to advertise this for the sake of my friend, Sandra, but if you're interested in roleplaying forums, you should really check out Live it up: Percy Jackson! I'll post the link somewhere below. Anywho, let's go on to the next chapter!

LIU: add this after the regular FF URL- /forum/Live_it_up_Percy_Jackson/93895/

P.S. I'm skipping a couple of states, so, that explains the chapter not being named Michigan or Illinois

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO! All glory to Rick Riordan!

Annabeth's POV


I sat in the middle of the van, holding Percy's hand from across the isle. Percy had tried his best to comfort me, but my head was still scattered. He even promised to lay off of the pudding.

I kept glancing at the back seat. I had my suspicions about Kat. Something was definitely wrong here. She appeared only months before the quest had even been brought up and she had gained the trust of everybody at camp, especially the boys.

That grim smile, the one that was spread across the face of the girl with pink hair, it lingered in my mind, as if telling me to be afraid. I suspect we are being lured into a trap.

The van came to a slow stop "What happened" I could hear Matt ask from the back seat.

"Ran out of gas..." Nico said. "But we may be in luck."

"Master's Cheese plantation" Meghan read a sign (A/N: I totally didn't steal that from Danny Phantom!)

Percy started hopping up and down in his seat "CHEESE!"

Oh, no... I thought. Cheese. Another thing he loves... Especially blue cheese.

"Calm down, Percy! It's just cheese!" Nico demanded

"I WANT BLUE CHEESE!"

"It's barely even blue!" Meghan claimed

"It's blue enough to drive him nuts, apparently." Matt said

"Guys, let him dream and let's get out of here before he tips the van." I said

Everybody got out of the van, me dragging Percy out.

Percy took off down the long driveway, screaming "CHEESE!"

Oh, how I love my seaweed brain...

We began to follow Percy, me leading the way.

I glanced back. Matt and Kat were holding hands. And though they probavly thought they were sneaking, Meghan was definitely holding Nico's hand.

Honestly, I never thought I'd see a daughter of Aphrodite linking fingers with a son of Hades. Something is definitely not right here.

We finally caught up with Percy, who was begging some plantation worker to let him meet each and every single cow in the pasture and thank them for making blue cheese.

The man grumbled something and Percy jumped over the fence, climbing onto a cow and pretending he was a rodeo clown.

I was starting to think that he ate as much pudding as possible before promising to stop.

No doubt he probably did...


After finally making Percy calm down, we found out where the plantation owner lived and began to walk that way.

The plantation owner's name was Vlad Masters. (A/N: Still not from Danny Phantom, it was just the only thing that sounds normal!)

Nico asked him if he had any means of transportation that could be of use to us, so he gave us a truck with a hay wagon attached to it.

The truck was a two-seater so Nico and Meghan sat up there again.

Percy, Matt, Kat, and I sat in the hay wagon, and off we went to Washington yet again.


(Sorry! Short. idiotic, boring, other bad names, I know. But I've writers block and yeah... bye!)
