Hey guys! I'll make sure to give Grover a POV this time. And sorry it there are any grammar issues. I can't use my computer over the summer so I have to use my tablet to upload and I can't edit the document on my tablet, sorry. Well, I'll leave you to read.

Percy's POV

We ditched Grover as soon as we got to the bus terminal. Sure it wasn't the best thing to do but he was starting to get a little creepy.

Baxie agreed to only stay with my mom and Gabe and me for one day since she didn't want to stay in that foster home one more night. We took a cab to my mom's apartment and when we got there Gabe demanded me to give what ever money I had so he could continue his poker game.

I stayed calm and gave him the left over money from the cab ride.

"Who's she? Girlfriend? She gonna stay? She has to pay rent then, $20 per hour." Gabe said.

"Well yes but only one day and there's no way she's paying anything." I said. "And she's not my girlfriend she a-" I started.

"Yeah yeah save your breath kid." One of Gabe's buddies said.

I guess I have forgotten to care about money for a second and we got away without having Baxie pay "rent." I was so tired of Gabe, he didn't deserve my mother.

My room looked horrible. Mainly because Gabe used it while I was at the boarding school. It smelled terrible but after a few dozen boxes and some air freshener, room was less repulsive. Unlike Baxie I COULD smell... lucky.

We set up a mattress on the floor even if Baxie could sleep standing up. It's creepy but she used to study late at night and some times she was in the middle of the room with her head facing down. She would wake up at 6 in the morning and fall with a loud thud and an ouch.

When my mom got home I was overjoyed since I hadn't seen her for almost half a year. She was the sweetest mother the world could ever imagine. Not to mention she worked at a candy store and always gave me a big bag of blue candy every time I see her. And I'm not just saying that, she had never yelled at anyone not even Gabe.

We told my mom the story together leaving out some details to keep her happiness.

After telling her the story, my mom told me she was (it's past tense because the present in Percy's time is when his mom got taken away) taking me to Mantuak to stay for the weekend. I was so excited I hadn't been to Mantuak since I was a baby.

Then Gabe had to ruin the moment by slamming open the door and demanding that my mom made him her seven-layer bean dip and I nearly lose it.

"Sure, but do you remember about the trip me and Percy were going to take?" My mom says.

"Huh? Wait no way! I'm trying to save money here!" Gabe said. "Hey and what about her, she was going to stay here."

I was shocked and somewhat impressed, he was using my best friend against me and my mother while yelling. (That counts as one and a half things) More than he's ever done in front of me.

My mom says she'll stock the fridge with all kinds bean dip for the weekend. And she was going to take Baxie with us. Good thing she had her suit case, but she wasn't happy about having to deflate the mattress to move it. Again. After I jumped on it, and tripped over it and fell on it. Then the phone rang and my mom rushed over to answer it.

Grover's POV (I'm going a bit back in time for a minute.)

I freaked out when Percy was gone I searched a whole 7 block range in almost all directions. I knew it was a bad idea because there's was a chance Percy might answer the phone but I called his mother's house phone to see if he was safe.

Sally answered the phone to my relief. She said she was taking Percy and Baxie to Mantuak. She asked me if I could come along but not in the same car, for safety precautions. So I watched I might have almost blew my cover several times, I was lucky I fell asleep on the bus so I wasn't tired. Even after searching.

It was funny watching them sleep. Sally was to only one who slept normally. Percy on the other hand slept face flat down on the pillow, how he was breathing I don't know. And Baxie was not even ON the mattress, she was on the floor with one hand under the mattress and the other over, like she was hugging it. Did she fall asleep like that...no. Did Percy fall asleep like that...yes.

My laughter ended quickly when I saw the huge hurricane heading this way.

I woke up Sally whispered to her there was a hurricane, to only then hear Sally scream: "HURRICANE?!" This woke Percy and Baxie up only to them looking at each other with a strange look like 'how can you sleep like that?' They did that every morning.

"Come on guys, Hurricane! Oh and um it's behind me." I said.

"But your feet..um hooves, how-" Baxie started.

"No time kids, get in the car!" Sally said.

We all got in the Gabe's car and I rode in the back with Percy and Baxie. I had a feeling I knew where we were going, camp. (Let's just say Sally and Grover had met at...orientation.)
