Thank you So, So much for all of the reviews .

Everybody that reviewed has officially made my awesome people list, and those who reviewed more than once have made my Supermegafoxyawesomehot people list. (AVPM!)

I DON'T OWN PJO! (I think it goes w/o saying at this point, but I would rather not be sued.) Please continue to r&r, and check out all of my other stories! "Rachel's Story" is the second in this series, and "The Sorceress's Heir" which is a futurefic.

I put their outfits on polyvore if anybody cares, it's the last link (The link is broken though, so it's not really a link.)

FYI: Katie is 17, Kia is 17(her b-day today), Faith is 16, Megan is 16, Connor is 16, Travis is 18, and Jackson is 14.

*WOW* Lo-ong author's note…did anybody actually read that?

Connor picked Travis up, slung him over his shoulder and we were off. I led as we ran back down to where the Gondola dock was and found, to my horror, the entire gondola system was covered in, yep. You guessed it: ice.

"What are we going to do?" Kia cried, she'd always been quite dramatic. "We're gonna…DIE!"

"Kia, we're not going to die. If Percy can wrestle Anteus, we can certainly get back to the hotel."

"You're friend Percy defeated Anteus?" Faith asked. "Is that the same guy that got trapped under a bookshelf?"

"Yeah, Annabeth doesn't call him "Seaweed Brain" for nothing." Connor smiled at that.

"Once he tried to help us with a prank, a simple one at that, and he ended up completely covered in permanent yellow paint." We were all smiling now.

"If we're done bashing Percy, can we please figure out a way to get out of this?" I asked. As if by magic, the smiles disappeared.

"Hey is that an RV?" Jackson asked after a too long silence. We all turned and looked in the direction he was pointing, there was most certainly a medium sized RV.

"Okay. That was not there ten seconds ago," Megan said. We all took off towards the RV. It was large, white and there was a black stripe around the middle that went all of the way around. Jackson got there first and opened the door.

"Guys! It's not iced!" He yelled, opening the door.

"Well of course it's not dummy," Megan yelled back, "If it was, you'd be frozen."

"That's enough you two," Kia told them. The rest of us filed in the car and Connor set Travis down on one of the little bed/couches.

"Who wants to drive?" Connor asked.

"I don't think I can drive something this big," I told them.

"I can drive," Kia suggested. Nobody had a better idea so we let her take the wheel. Kia settled behind the wheel and waited for everybody else to sit down. Megan took a deck of cards out of her pocket. (It was one of those little mini decks; she always had it with her. It was the last gift her father gave to her before he left.) Her, Jackson and Faith settled in for a game. Connor and I sat down on either side of Travis. I got up to give Kia the signal to leave when Travis stirred. He reached his arm out and trapped me under it. I looked at Connor and he looked at me.

"What am I supposed to do?" I asked him.

"Don't look at me," Connor replied with a shrug and a smirk. I eased his arm off of my lap and got up to talk to Kia.

"Hey we're ready to go."

"Should I take us back to the hotel?"

"Yeah, that way we can get our bags before heading back to camp."

"'Kay, will do."

~~~~~~~~~~~~Page Break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It took us a much longer time to get back to the hotel then it took us to come here in the first place. Kia got turned around no less then three times, and we had to go around the block twice since she missed the entrance to the hotel's driveway. I was the first out of the car, was it my imagination? Or was the snow thicker in one direction then in the other? And was that a girl standing in the middle of the snow?*

"How do you want to do this? Somebody has to stay with Travis." Connor called out, I looked in his direction and looked back at the falling snow, but the strange girl was gone.

"We'll go first, you stay with Travis and Jack. When we get back you guys can go pack." The four of us girls walked (well, okay, speed walked. We would've ran but the ground was so icy we would have taken amiracle to go the forty meters from the driveway into the hotel without slipping.) into the main lobby.

"Let's cut through the buffet place," Faith suggested. "I think it's faster." We followed Faith into the restaurant; As soon as we got in she stopped short.

"I'm going to kill that guy," Megan said angrily. Sitting in one of the tables was Josh, Faith's boyfriend Josh that is, and he was with another girl.

"Maybe they're just friends," Kia said, but of course; it was as if she jinxed it. The girl moved over from her side of the booth and sat in his lap. I looked over at Faith and I could see her heart breaking. Megan looked at Faith, pointed at Josh and said: "May I?" When Faith didn't answer she marched over to where Josh and that girl were sitting. As soon as he noticed her, his eyes got really wide, in a different circumstance it would have been almost funny.

"You are an a**hole," Megan told him. She turned to the girl he was sitting with and said: "Don't waste your time on him, you're not his only girlfriend." The three of us brought the now shaking Faith out of the restaurant and into the elevator. It was a quiet walk up to the room, the only sounds were Faith's deep breaths.

"Woah," Kia said when we reached the room. The door was wide open and the carpet was wet. I took the lead and walked into the room. Standing in the middle of the room was a girl, she looked young, probably somewhere around our age. She had dark black hair, deep brown eyes, skin as pale as snow and an expression as tough as steel. There was a mini cloud above her and she appeared to be standing in the middle of a snowstorm. A snowstorm in the middle of our room. Sure, why not.

"Who are you?" I asked her. She gave a slight laugh and vanished, taking the snow with her as she went. I gathered the suitcases from the closet and we packed up. Everything was wet, but at that minute I only cared about getting my friends out of that hotel.

"Everybody ready?" I called out after about ten minutes.

"Yeah."

"You know it."

"As long as we…we don't cut through…the restaurant."

~~~~~~~~~Page break~~~~~~~~~~

We reached the car about five minutes later, and to my surprise Travis was outside waiting for us. He was leaning against the car, but as soon as he saw me he grinned.

"Katie," he called happily.

"Are you okay?" I called back.

"All thanks to you I've been told."

"I didn't do that much."

"That's not what Connor said."

"Anyway you guys should probably go and get your stuff."

"CONNOR! JACK!" Travis called into the RV. "They're back." Connor and Jackson came running out of the van.

"You're staying here," Connor told him. Well, I guess there's a first for everything…but both Stolls being responsible? "Katie will watch while we're gone."

"I'm not two Connor, I don't need to be watched."

"You were unconscious ten minutes ago. You need to be watched." Before Travis could argue any more, Connor grabbed Jackson's hand and ran (speed walked) off towards the hotel. The five of us walked inside the bus and started to put our bags in the above-head storage area. Kia sat down on one of the benches, and Megan and Faith resumed their game of B.S. Travis went to the bed in the back and lay down; I sat on the other side. Travis closed his eyes and was immediately asleep, so I went up to where Kia was sitting.

"Hey," I said unsurely, since this whole 'Demigod' thing, it had been a little awkward between the four of us.

"Hey."

"You don't mind driving again?"

"As long as you tell me where to go."

"Long Island."

"You want me to drive this thing to Long Island?"

"You can stop driving when you need to sleep. Connor or I will take over."

"Can't we just go to the airport?"

"In this weather?"

"Point taken."

"Katie, Kia, want us to deal you in?" Megan asked.

"Do it," Kia replied.

"Yeah me too," I said. We played B.S. for about three minutes, or until Connor and Jack burst in through the door.

"Anybody miss us?" Connor asked.

"Not really."

"No."

"Not even a little."

"I didn't even know you were gone."

"Thanks guys, thanks."

It has always been a dream of mine to reach 75 reviews on one story. There are probably about two more chapters, and if we can reach 75 before the end, I'll give you a bonus chapter! Also, it would be overwhelmingly awesome.
