A/N: Okay, first off, sorry for the delay. I was in Vermont for a week on a skiing trip, and didn't have my computer. Second, this chapter is dedicated to Shadowmaster Thor Stonehenge and Rarity(guest) for reviewing with the words "The Name of This Book Is Secret". Thirdly, sorry if this one is kind of short, I was going to include part of the journey in this chapter, but when I read it over with that in, I felt that it was disjointed, so you will get the rising action soon. Okay, so

ANNABETH

Okay. I can handle this. I managed the rest of my life, which was much harder than this, and I did it well. So, I shouldn't be worried, right? Except, I'm not. I see him looking at her every now and then, but that is not a problem, right? She is with Leo, right? Why am I the only one panicking about going on a quest with her? She cursed me! So, final question to myself: Why am I afraid, and not angry? Oh, to all Hades with these stupid emotions!

Annabeth, true to her thoughts, was afraid. Well, she was happy, too, that her friend was alive and in love, but she couldn't get over that Calypso was here. It had been three days since Piper had explained the eleven's new divine orders, and Annabeth, to her surprise, could not find anything wrong with Calypso. She seemed, organized, sensible, kind, intelligent, and loving. Annabeth didn't see any part of that lovely girl who could cast such a bitter curse. That worried her even more. She didn't know why. She pushed Calypso out of her mind for the moment, and strode out of her cabin, towards Percy's.

She found him aimlessly capping and uncapping Riptide on his bunk. His face brightened when she entered. "Wassup, Wise Girl?" he said as he put his "pen" back in his pocket.

"I need your fountain, Seaweed Brain."

He hopped off of his mattress and made an exaggerated sad face.

"Aww," he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close, "I thought you might want to do this, as well." Annabeth lifted up her chin and this kissed for some moments.

"Well, that too." She said as their lips parted. "But I need to talk logistics with Reyna." She turned and flipped a drachma into Percy's saltwater fountain.

"Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering. Show me Reyna, at Camp Jupiter."

The mist shimmered, and showed an above shot of one very asleep Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano. A clock beside her showed VI: XXXVIII am. 6:38 am, to those not fluent in Roman numerals. Percy stifled a laugh. Annabeth smiled, "How does she manage to look regal even when she sleeps?" she whispered. Percy called out, "Reyna. Reyna. Wake up. Hello?"

Reyna's eyes flew open. She looked startled, but otherwise didn't move. She took a deep breath and said "There should be some way that these messages can be denied or something. This is the second time they have caught me off-guard. Anyway, what have you called about?" Right, what was it… oh Annabeth took out a note pad from her back pocket, "I just need to confirm some details with you. We're meeting at my dad's house in San Francisco in five days, but do you know his address?" Reyna reached her arm out to the side and grabbed a sketch book from her nightstand. She opened it to the middle and held it above her face.

"Yes. I have it right here. Now is it possible I'll be allowed to go back to sleep?" she said drowsily. Annabeth laughed and threw a pillow at the image. She turned back towards Percy, kissed him again, and went to finish packing.

An hour later, the ten setting off gathered on the hill, and filed into Argus's van. Annabeth looked out of her window as they pulled off onto the road.

Well, here I go again.
