Ok, that's all for now! If I don't reply to your review, it's probably because I was typing the next chapter when you sent it or I got it too late! :)

As Alexander walked beside Chiron, he noticed the way his eyes got nervous when Rue fought the Gorgon. He thought, is it because she's Poseidon's daughter? Jacob kept looking around. When they got half way to the Big House, Rue began running up. She was all smiles. '

Alexander felt his heart skip a beat. Wait – what? Yea, she was cute, but….

"Why'd you guys ditch me?" she asked, walking backwards in front of them with a smile.

She stepped on the side Jacob was on as Chiron opened the door to the Big House. He held it opened as the three teenagers walked in. The lion skin rug on the hardwood floor, the suede couch, the dark walls, and the only light that came from the fireplace all made Chiron's room look sinister. Chiron sat down in this giant brown leather chair. He nodded towards the couch, their cue to sit.

Rue sat on the left side, Jacob sat on the right, leaving Alexander the middle. Chiron cleared his throat and began to speak:

"When Rue got here, Rachel said a prophecy, being the Oracle and all. She hasn't said a prophecy since Percy and they got back from… where they went and that was a month ago. Everyone had been begging me for a quest, but it seems like the Big Three have made a quest themselves. You do realize the power that you three have, correct?"

They all nodded.

"Good." He reached over towards the end table and picked up one of the three things sitting on the table: a pair of Geek Glasses. "Rue, I figured you would look better in these than the boys. Put them on, and you will turn invisible."

They were black and white tiny checkered. Doubting they worked, Rue put them on and she disappeared.

"Awesome!" Alexander said.

"If you want to just wear them," Chiron said as Rue appeared again, with the glasses off, "press the button on the side."

She clicked the button and put the glasses on. Surprisingly, they went great with her outfit. She looked at the boys with a smile. "Ha-ha, I got glasses!"

Chiron picked up something else from the table: a black belt. Chiron handed it to Alexander. Alexander looked at it with confusion.

"Look," Alexander said, pulling up his pants, "is that better?"

Chiron tried not to laugh. "Alexander, I wasn't meaning that about your pants. It's magical."

Alexander's tan face turned red when he sat down. "Oh; what does it do?"

"It gives you anything you want. Say you want some money."

"Ok, give me some money!"

Chiron put his hand on his forehead, elbow on his leg, and shook his head. "Alexander, put it on then say it!"

"Oh." Alexander stood up and put the belt on, mumbling, "That would've been nice to know before I made myself look stupid." Rue snickered and Jacob looked ready to get out of there. Once Alexander got the belt on, he said, "I want twenty bucks."

Something appeared in his pocket. He stuck his hand in there and pulled out a twenty dollar bill.

"This could come in handy," Alexander said evilly.

Alexander sat down as Chiron grabbed the last thing: a watch. He tossed it towards Jacob.

"Put it on," Chiron said.

Jacob put it on with one hand – well, he tried. With one hand and being clumsy, it wasn't working. Alexander was still playing with the belt, even though it was starting to get slower. Rue sighed and helped Jacob put it on.

"Tap the screen," Chiron said.

Jacob tapped the screen and a shield formed in a millisecond. When Alexander saw Rue and Jacob, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Jacob saw his face but didn't say anything.

"Now, you three go get ready and get some rest," Chiron said. "You leave in the morning."
