Percy

The five of us walked together in silence behind Chiron, shooting nervous glances toward one another. Annabeth whispered in my ear "What did I miss?" "Well, after I told Chiron the prophecy last night, Zeus came for a little chat." "What?" She almost yelled, "Since when does Zeus visit Camp Half Blood?" "Since yesterday, apparently." I said with a smirk. Annabeth pushed me away and went to go talk to Hazel.

I couldn't hear everything, but I picked up bits and pieces. Annabeth said "How come Nico's not coming with us?"

Then Hazel said something I couldn't hear, but I caught the names Nico and Leo, and then "I haven't heard the prophecy yet. Does it have anything to do with Frank?"

Annabeth sighed then put her arm around Hazel's shoulders. "Hang in there, girl." She said.

Then we stopped walking and I realized we were at the Zeus cabin. Chiron went in, so we all followed him. The place looked the same as it had when Thalia lived there. Punk-rock band posters were hung on the walls and there was trash on every bunk, soda stains on the carpet. I guess even the cleaning harpies were scared of the Zeus cabin.

Once the five of us had cleaned a bunk and sat down, Chiron began to speak. "After Percy told me the—ah—prophecy, that he received last night, I was….er….honored, by a visit from Zeus himself. As you all may or may not know, this message from the oracle was no ordinary prophecy. It was sent by the gods themselves. Zeus said that the only reason he came to visit me was to advise me to send Hazel instead of Nico. I was previously-".

"You were actually thinking about sending Nico instead of me? When this prophecy is about MY boyfriend?" Hazel interrupted angrily, shocking everyone in the room.

"Well, Hazel, yes, I was considering it, but the gods have decided otherwise." Hazel snorted indignantly and we heard the sound of thunder in the distance.

"Steady, Hazel," Annabeth said "If the gods are sending us on a quest to save Frank, I don't think it's a good idea to get Zeus on your bad side."

Hazel sighed and rolled her eyes as another crash of thunder was heard, closer this time.

"So, you five will be the ones going on this…quest...you will leave as soon as you are packed. I do not want the other campers to get stirred up." Chiron instructed.

"Yes sir." Annabeth said with a salute. We all laughed and followed her out the door, depositing a few candy wrappers in the already full trash can as we went out.

Annabeth

Wow. I didn't know Hazel could get so mad. When Chiron told her that he was going to send Nico, she totally flipped out. I think if he hadn't sent her, she would have found a way to follow us anyway. That girl has some serious determination when it comes to Frank. Plus I think she likes Leo too. When I told Percy that, he just laughed at me hysterically, which mad me mad, making him laugh even harder.

Oh, Percy.

After I packed, I went on my laptop and looked at some of Daedalus' blueprints. That always calms me down so I can think. After about an hour of equations and dimensions, I was perfectly relaxed.

Then Percy came running into the Athena cabin and jumped onto the bed next to mine. "Watch it, Seaweed Brain! Malcom will be really mad if he comes back and his bed is all messed up. He just cleaned everything this morning."

"Why are you Athena kids so worried about being neat? I just shove all of my stuff under my bed and hope the harpies don't bust me for it."

"And who wins cleanest cabin every week?" I asked, suppressing a smirk.

Percy sighed "Fine Wise Girl, take all the fun out of it."

I gave him a look of feigned shock "Who, me? When am I ever not fun?" I jumped to Malcom's bed and tackled Percy.

He raised his hands in surrender "Okay, okay! I give in!" I had him pinned on Malcom's now extremely messy bed. "Can I go now?" Percy asked, half joking.

I laughed and kissed my Seaweed Brain just as Malcom walked in.
