Hey everyone! :D Turns out Ariel's sword is called Whisperer. What kind of a lame-ass name is that, HG23? Lol.

HorsyGal23: Okies, I'll make you more sarcastic (rolls eyes) Just to spite you, I'm gonna spell your name wrong until your impressed. So long, e! How dare you call my story un-interesting! I'll kill you off if I have to. (grins evilly)

Jaredfan: Your welcome. It was! Problem is, it's overlapping two stories at once. (My Crazy Summer and Ariel's Summer) So I'll have to be clever. Good thing I am, then. I AM A GENIUS! I have to explain everything, and since I'm the way I am, and I make stuff up as I go along, I have to explain absences of characters. Like, where was Sammy in My Crazy Summer, if she was at camp? Stuff like that make it challenging and fun to write. :D

Iloveseaweedbrain: Thanks! I will. And yes, Flame Rising is a prickhole.

After breakfast, I had nothing to do, so I went down to the archery range. Swordplay arena to go see my new hellhound. It and Mrs. O'Leary were sleeping. Percy and Annabeth were practicing sword fighting, so I decided to watch.

Percy was drenched in sweat, I could smell it from the stands. He feinted, but Annabeth knew what he was doing, and she parried. She brought her sword down for a slash, but Percy blocked it. She knocked his sword out of his hands, and it went clattering away. I knew it was come back to his pocket, but Annabeth seemed to know what she was doing. She pulled something navy-blue out of her pocket. Her magic Yankees cap! She put it on and disappeared.

"Don't move, Seaweed Brain!" she said, laughing.

Percy put his hands up. "You win, Wise Girl." Annabeth came back into view with her sword's point at his neck. Then Percy took out his sword and slashed at her! Annabeth barely had time to block it, but she fell down, and Percy but Riptide's tip at her neck.

"I win!" He smiled.

"I already killed you! I won!" Annabeth argued.

"Fine, Wise Girl. You won." Percy took out a water bottle and drank the entire thing in four ½ seconds. (I counted). I didn't think that was humanly possible, but then again, Percy wasn't fully human.

"Hey, Sammy. What's up?"

"Oh, I'm just bored. No archery today," I moped. My hellhound woke up and walked over to my side. I started petting it. "Come on, let's go play Get-The-Greek!" We played for about fifteen minutes before I got bored.

"What should I name him?" I asked.

"Percy!" he grinned.

"Fat chance. How about... Eudemus, after the ancient Greek philosopher?"

"You mean Eudemus of Rhodes?" Annabeth asked.

I shrugged. "I dunno." I knelt in front of my dog. "Okay, your name is Eudemus, okay? Yoo-dee-mus," I pronounced it slowly. He just licked my face, because we were at the same height. Suddenly, his ears perked up. He bounded out of the arena.

"Eudemus!" I yelled. I ran after the dog. I saw it run into the forest. I kept following until I lost sight of it. "Eudemus! Come back!" I called. I slumped down on a rock and moped. What happened to
Eudemus? Did he not like the name or something?

"You know, it's a law of nature that any four-legged animal can run faster than a two-legged one."

I looked up. "Shut up, Annabeth." She and Percy had followed me.

"Where could Eude-whatever have gone? His ears just perked up and he ran away," Percy said.

"I don't know. I'm sorry, Sam," said Annabeth.

"It's okay," I sniffed. "I wasn't your guys' fault." I was trying to hold back tears.

"We should go talk to Chiron. Maybe he can give you a quest to find him," Percy suggested.

I looked up. "Really?" He nodded. "Let's go! Come on!" I started running. "Come on, slowpokes! Come on! Come on! Come on!"

We ran all the way to the Big House. Percy and Annabeth came up to me, panting.

"Jeez, where does she get the energy? She hasn't even broken a sweat!" Percy whined.

"Chiron! The hellhound which I named Eudemus ran away from the swordplay arena! Percy and Annabeth had just finished fighting. I think it heard something because its ears perked up. But it's gone Chiron so we need to go after it! Please? Please?!"

"Sam! Calm down, start over!" Chiron said. Mr. D snickered.

"The hellhound ran away after it heard something!" I said, slowly.

"Oh, dear. Well, I suppose there's nothing-"

"I'm going after it."

"Sam, I know you want to go save him, but there's no point risking a half-blood for a baby hellhound we only found yesterday," Chiron said. "I'm sorry."

I couldn't believe he was saying this. I wanted to explode at him! I was about to, but I had an idea.

"I- Okay, Chiron. You're right," I said, quietly. He look pretty shocked, and so did Percy and Annabeth. "I mean, I just got him yesterday!" I walked out of the Big House. I thought about my plan. "I'll have to wait until tonight," I thought to myself.

I ran silently out of Cabin one and over to the next one. I tapped on the door quietly. There was no answer. I knocked louder.

"Ughnn...Wha...?"

"Percy! Get up!" I hissed.

"Mnf...Goway..." he said.

I rolled my eyes. "Percy! Mrs. O'Leary ate Annabeth and she's running this way!"

He was out of the cabin in a second, eyes wide. I rolled my eyes again.

"Come on, Kelp Face! Let's go!"

He glared at me. "You lied!"

"Come on! Let's go save Eudemus!"

I got nothing to say.

R&R for food!
