Hey everybody! Sorry it took so long for me to update but I haven't really had enough time or inspiration to. Again really sorry about that! Well lets see where did we leave off

Disclaimer: This for all of the times I forgot to put it up. I swear that I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or any characters from the series. *tear*

Annabeth's POV

As soon as my head hit that pillow I fell asleep, only to meet a certain goddess of Agriculture.

"Demeter?" I thought "What are you doing in my dream?"

"What? Just because none of the people on this quest are my children doesn't mean that I can't help."

"Oh… Well still why are you in my dream?"

"To help you of course. For Goodness sake, you take away crops for half the year and automatically people think you don't want to help mortals."

"Well you did kinda make the whole world starve to death until you finally found Persephone."

"To save my daughter!"

"Yes but still you didn't have too-"

"Oh enough of this! I came to tell you where your next destination is. You must go to Sumner County Kansas."

"Why there? Isn't that in the middle of nowhere?"

"NO! It is the wheat capitol of the world! One of my dear Persephone's pearls is there."

"Again Why there?

"BECAUSE! I am her mother and I am the goddess of Agriculture! Why else?"

"Oh, sorry umm thanks but how are we supposed to find a little pearl in all of those wheat fields?"

"Why that's easy. At the county fair of course. In fact it just so happens that it starts today."

"Okay, but still how are we gonna get there? It would take hours to go by train or Pegasus and we cant go by airplane because Percy would get blasted to pieces."

"Oh, well, I usually don't do this but I suppose I could give you guys a little lift. There now when you wake up you should be in Sumner County Kansas. Good luck!" And with that I woke up in a barn with Percy, Beckendorf, and Silena all still sleeping. "Doesn't Percy look cute when he sleeps?" I heard a cheerful voice say in my head. "No he doesn't" he doesn't right? "Aww that's so cute! You're in the denial stage, aww!" the voice I now knew belonged to Aphrodite said, "I. Am. NOT. IN. DENIAL!" , "Whatever you say Annabeth, Whatever you say."

"I AM NOT IN DENIAL!"

"Who are you talking to Annabeth?" I heard Percy say and I turned around.

"Umm, no one, I was just umm reading lines from this play I was gonna try out for." Oh My Gods Annabeth that was the stupidest thing you could have said!

"Okay then" Percy said I could tell that he was trying to hold back a laugh.

"Oh shut up Seaweed brain" I said punching him on the arm.

"Okay okay truce!" he said making the right decision to shut up, "So where to next wise girl?" he then noticed that we weren't in new york anymore. "Oh my Gods. Annabeth I don't think we're in New York anymore"

"You got that right" I said sighing "Sumner County Kansas, that's where we are. Demeter told me that we would find the next pearl here at the County Fair."

"Why here?" he asked. I now understood why Demeter was annoyed when I kept doing that.

"Because, Demeter is Persephone's mother and she is the goddess of Agriculture and this is the wheat capitol of the world." I said exasperated and a little louder than I wanted to. (Hey give me a break. You try being in someone elses body, and talking to your seaweed brain of a boyfriend. Oh so you do love him, a voice in my head that was clearly Aphrodite said, No, I said boy friend not boyfriend, as in he's my friend that's a boy. "Come on Annabeth I think we all know what you were trying to say" For the hundredth Time I Don't Love Percy! "Sure you do" and with that Aphrodite made the smart decision and got out of my head.) Anyway it wasn't soon after I finished explaining to Percy why we were here, that Silena and Beckendorf both woke up.

"Hey, where are we?" Silena asked. So I once again had to explain. Thankfully they caught on a lot faster than Percy had.

"So we're supposed to find the second pearl in a huge county fair." Beckendorf said. I nodded, "But that's almost impossible! It would take us days to finish looking through all of the fair grounds and we don't have days!"

"I know, but we cant very well just sit here in the middle of no where can we? No, so lets get going. Besides I heard a farmer say that they serve free breakfast at the fair" That got all of them geared up and ready to go. In fact it was Beckendorf and Percy waiting for Silena and I to get ready. Eventually we finally started out and after only 10 minutes of wandering around we finally found the fair.

Silena POV

I was getting worried. The voice from the dream I had a few days ago had been whispering to me in my dream last night. By now I had figured out it was Polyphonte. She kept whispering things like "I have already captured one of your mother's doves, will I have another dove once you arrive?" and then she'd start laughing. It scared me silly, and I had no idea what she meant by it. I was about to tell Annabeth while we were walking towards the fair when I decided against it. They would all think I was crazy. Besides I didn't want them to get involved with all this. This was my fight and for once in my life I was going to fight it.

We had finally arrived at the fair when Annabeth spoke up.

"We should split into groups of two" she said and I immediately got nervous.

"NO!" I screamed

"What's the matter Silena?"

"Umm, nothing. Never mind let's just split up" Now they definitely thought I was crazy.

"Okay" Annabeth said with a that your-hiding-something-and-I'm-going-to-find-out-what look on her face. In other words she knows something's up. "Well I'll go with Per-" she was cut off by a cloud of smoke.

"What the Hades is going on?" Percy said through coughing fits.

A beautiful silhouette appeared in the shimmering curtain of fog. I heard a voice mumble what sounded like "Oh stupid Aphrodite! I forgot to put them to sleep." Wait… Aphrodite? My mother was here right now and she was talking about putting us to sleep. This could not end well.

After that all I can remember is the sound of my mother saying "Now how to do this without killing them." If you asked my mother she'd probably say we all ended up fine… if you count getting mauled by psycho bear twins fine.

A/N: Did anyone get the joke that i had Percy say after Annabeth woke up? If you did, tell me. So what'd you think? Like it? Love it? Hate it? The only way I'll know is if you review. So press that button down there. Yes, it's the one that says REVIEW on it. So unless I need to spell it out for you… REVIEW! And since my mother raised me to be a polite little lady… Please and Thank You.
