In case you are wondering, (which you probably aren't) I am at the beach right now- just chillin'- Don't you just love Spring Break? If you don't then you're about to- VIOLA! (I don't even know what that word means) Chapter 7! (or is it 8, no, no it's 7…….. well)

I have lived at Camp Half Blood for the better part of 9 years now; and I have still never quite figured out why we have all of our important meetings in the big house rec-room.

As I absentmindedly sipped my tea (sweet, of course, I am from Virginia after all), there was an argument going on.

"We" had actually turned out to be almost exactly the people I would expect to come up with a bizarre plan in a situation like this- Rachel, Grover, Morgan, Josie, and surprisingly, Clarisse (or at least she had "supervised")

Despite their seemingly great teamwork, Josie was now looking like she was about to rip Grover's head off.

"Wait, so why can't Josie go?" asked Morgan, eager to know why her best friend looked so peeved. Josie promptly turned into a falcon and perched in the rafters, still glaring at Grover.

"She is just far too valuable." Grover said, still eying the falcon in the rafters. "When the god Pan died, the spirit of the wild was passed over to humans to maintain- the thing is though, that transaction can't just happen, there has to be a more gradual transition. There has to be someone in-between wild god and mortal human to maintain it for at least an average human life time if the wild is to survive. Josie is that transition. If something happened to her- there is no one that I know of who could be suitable to maintain the spirit."

I was getting impatient, "Sorry, this is all really interesting, but what about Percy?!"

Rachel gave me a very solemn look. "There is something that I think you should see."

She picked a TV remote off of the ping pong table. She hit a button and the bulky, black dinosaur of a TV flickered on. The HAPHESTUS TV emblem was featured in the bottom right corner of a Pomona Grocery Store ad.

The ad finished. Some slower, romantic music played and the screen went black. White words appeared on the screen.

From Aphrodite Studios

The best love story since Helen and Paris

That follows our 2 favorite Demigods on the rides of their lives

Based on a true story

What? Oh no.

"Annabeth, take a look at this." Rachel said as she balanced her Mac on one knee.

The computer screen showed the show's website. The ad that I just saw was playing in a window at the bottom of the screen. Rachel clicked on the tab labeled pictures.

Guess who the first picture was of. If you guessed me than you are correct. The bulk of the pictures were dating back to my birthday. There were a few from before that. Let's just say that I blushed at most of them.

My embarrassment was soon replaced by anger. "She is doing all of this for a TV show?!"

"This is the plan. You, Morgan, Clarisse, and Rachel will try to get to Aphrodite's palace, and get Percy back. Try not to get into a lot of drama along the way. That's what she wants." Said Grover.

Josie glared some more.

"Where is Aphrodite's palace?" I asked.

"Like New York", Rachel said," this city is a popular place for mythical things. Her palace is in Hollywood, quite literally actually."

I didn't bother to ask what the fields of punishment she was talking about, but then decided against it. I just looked up at Chiron and asked, "When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning; you had better start packing."

Yes, this chapter really sucked. The last 2 chapters were really boring, bur necessary. Things are about to get a bit more interesting.
