I spent weeks on this trying to make it a little bit longer but it didn't really work out, sorry. I'm going to try and post a chapter a week, wish me luck! The next chapter the action will really get going. Stay tuned, please review!

Annabeth's POV

We sunbathed, talked, swam, splashed around, and more talking on the beach until it got dark. We decided to headed out and showered in our own cabins. I changed into simple navy blue sweats with a PINK logo at the side of my leg, a white tee, and my hair pulled back in a messy bun. Percy wore light grey sweats with a white t-shirt. Before we were able to go to dinner, Nico and Thalia stopped us. They weren't supposed to come in until later this week.

"Percy! Annabeth!" Nico jogged over to us. He looked rather refreshed himself.

"Hey Nico!" Percy went over and they both gave each other a bear hug. Once they were done, I went over and greeted him, and gave him a hug as well.

"Where's Thalia?" I asked

"She's in her cabin unpacking, she'll be here to join us for dinner."

"Oh that's great, which table should we sit on?"

"Uh, whichever is empty." Percy said, the obvious of course. The only one that wasn't filled by other campers was Percy's table.

"That reminds me, Chiron wants to see both of you pronto. I'll save you guys a spot."

"No one else should be sitting there," Percy added

"Haha, right." Nico ran off in the opposite direction of the tables, but instead to Thalia's cabin. Way to save spots.

"I wonder what Chiron wants to see us for." Percy wondered out loud. He put his hand around my waist scooting me closer. I leaned my head against Percy's chest and he lightly kissed my head.

Once we got to The Big House Chrion and Dionysus were outside playing Connect Four. That's different. Must've gotten bored of chess. I gave a small giggle out loud and Dionysus turned his head.

"Hey Perky and Bananabeth" Dionysus greeted and went back to his game. Percy let out a big sigh. "Hey Dionysus" he greeted back. "You know he does this on purpose." I whispered in Percy's ear. I smiled and he flashed a smile back. Chiron dropped another black game piece and won causing him to crack up laughing.

"UNFAIR!" exclaimed Dionysus and began to turn red. I couldn't help but join in Chiron laughing. After a few moments as Chiron calmed down and wiped a small tear from his eyes. He was as red as an apple. He still started to laugh here and then, but once it was under control he turned to us.

"Now, Percy and Annabeth. I'm incredibly sorry to break this news to you, but we have another quest for you."

This was definitely not what I wanted. "What? We've only stayed here for three days" I half-yelled.

Chiron cleared his throat, "I know, I'm sorry, no one else is as experienced as you two in this camp. Plus this is a pretty big quest."

"Well, what is the quest?" I asked.

Chiron pointed inside into a room of the Big House, and motioned us with his hands to go in. Once all there were in, he made sure no one else could hear by looking around the room, closing the windows, and locking the door. This must be something big. He leaned in close to us and said in a low voice

"There is four of the Big Three."

"What?" Percy and I asked in unison. We were clearly confused.

"There is another god, Vosieous. He was the timekeeper after Kronos. There was once a Big Four, now there is a Big Three."

"What happened to him?" I wondered out loud.

Percy's POV

We saw Nico come over to us and he told us that Chiron needed to see us. It was clearly important since Chiron took us into a separate room; he also closed all the windows and locked the door.

"What happened to him?" Annabeth asked

Chiron continued, "Well, you see, we're not exactly sure. We're hoping that you can find him, return him back to Camp Half-Blood, and from there I will handle it. Know one else knows about him. Zeus himself asked me to ask you both." Zeus can't come and confront me? What a wuss. There was loud thunder, and a small flash of lightening. Annabeth half-expectantly looked up at me and as if Chiron read my mind, "Careful what you say Percy!"

"Sorry." And the thunder and lightening had stopped and it was back to normal.

"Anyway, we don't know where he is, and Zeus does not know either. He banished him into the caves of the Himalayans, but he is no longer there. Zeus suspects that Poseidon may know where he is since they were very close brothers."

"So you are saying to talk about this with my dad?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying." Chiron responded.

"What if he won't tell me?"

"I'm sure you will figure it out, Percy. Especially with Annabeth's help." I turned over to Annabeth and smiled, and she gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

Chiron chuckled, "Okay, would you guys like a prophecy?"

"Yeah, that'd be a big help." Annabeth began to giggle.

Chiron pulled out folded paper from his sling. "Rachel isn't here this whole week, so I had called her and she told me this:

Two will go toward the god of time

As strange things wash up in Miami

One of the seas

And of the wise

To be careful as to see

Each other in your eyes

They will travel to the beach of the south

And bring the one they seek

Back home

"That's it? That's shorter than usual," I asked. Chiron handed me the paper and I slid it in my back pocket.

"Yep, that's all she told me. I guess you guys will have to figure it out from there, now go on and eat with your friends for dinner. Get a good night's rest you will leave early in the morning. Zeus is allowing Percy to fly this once."

"Will do, thanks Chiron." Annabeth said as she opened the door and I held it for Annabeth and Chiron.

We walked back at our table to see Nico, Thalia, Grover, and Juniper waiting for us, with worried looks on their faces.

"Thalia!" Annabeth ran over to her and gave her a big hug.

"Hey Annabeth, how've you been?"

"I've been good, you?"

"As usual." She looked over to me, examining me, head to toe. I pretty much did the same; after all we haven't seen each other in almost four years. She was defiantly taller, curvier, and overall better looking. She lost the hard punk look and is basically a natural beauty. Definitely not as gorgeous as Annabeth, in my opinion at least.

"Wow Seaweed Brain. Your almost as sexy as Nico." Thalia smiled. Nico had a smirk on his face, that's when Annabeth leaned over and whispered "I think your much more handsome than Nico. And yes, sexier." And she bit my ear. I turned over and kissed her and she hungrily kissed me.

"Blahaha" Grover bleated as he cleared his throat.

I cleared my throat as well. "Sorry." I turned my head over and smiled. After we all got our food and made sacrifices we all took a seat.

"So what was it that Chiron needed to talk to you guys?" Nico asked as he scooted closer to Thalia then shoved a large fork full of spaghetti into his mouth.

I exchanged a nervous glance with Annabeth and she blurted, "Can't say exactly, Chiron gave us specific instructions that we can't tell anyone, not even you guys. Sorry. But we are going on a quest, just Percy and me."

"Where are you going?" Nico asked me.

"Chiron told us Miami since everything strange washes up there." I responded as I took a bite of my pasta.

"When you guys lea-" Juniper about half finished her sentence before Thalia interrupted, laughing, "Hold on, you two? Alone? In Miami?"

Annabeth and Juniper began to smile, while I looked at Grover and Nico who were half smirking and half smiling as well. Am I the only one who doesn't get this? As if Thalia read my mind "Your such a Seaweed Brain!"

Annabeth when back to Junipers question after we all settled down a bit. "We leave tomorrow early morning."

"You better get started do you need some help Annabeth packing?" Thalia scooped the last of her food on her plate.

"I'll come along with you both of you, let me just put these plates away." Juniper took all our plates and we said our thank-you and once she came back Annabeth continued, "That'd be great thanks, Thalia and Juniper. Also, somehow the word got out and Selena is going to help pick out some clothes."

"Ugh, can't wait." Thalia mumbled.

"Hey, what about me? Don't I need help?" Grover and Nico groaned. "Fine." They both muttered.

We all got up and went to our cabins. Annabeth, Juniper, and Thalia went over to Selena as they walked back to the Athena cabin. Nico, Grover, and I walked back to my cabin.

Annabeth's POV

After dinner, Selena, Thalia, Juniper and me went back to the Athena cabin. Selena said she'll have to stop by the Aphrodite cabin and told us she'll meet us there. We walked over to my cabin and before I was able to get my duffle bag out, Selena barged into my cabin. She brought in a large Louis Vuitton suitcase already packed.

"What's all this?" I asked as I walked over to her, and set the suitcase on my bed.

"Everything you'll ever need in Miami! Whooo!" Thalia and Juniper giggled in the background.

"Yeah? Lets see what's in it." I zipped open the suitcase and as I opened up, the first thing I saw was a lavender lacy bra and thong to go along with it. I picked it up and examined it. Juniper and Thalia laughed even more. I turned to them and gave them a stern look that seemed to shut them up. I then turned to Thalia "This? I am not taking this. No way."

"Oh come one Annie, who knows what you'll do with Percy in Miami. You don't even have to wear it, just bring it please." Selena pleaded. I looked over at Juniper and Thalia with wide smiles on their faces. "Fine I'll bring it." I stuffed them both at the bottom of the suitcase. I looked over and she had everything I needed to underwear, makeup, bikinis, and sweats in designer name. Of course. "Where did you get all this stuff from?" Juniper asked.

"My mom gets a special deal with designers and I gives it to all of us. I've never worn any of these so they are brand new." Selena responded proudly.

"Thank-you so much Selena, this saved us a lot of time." I went over and gave her a hug. I wonder how Percy's packing was going along.
