I lied about making this chapter Thanksgiving! GASP! Shame on me. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

I jumped onto the hotel bed and turned on my laptop.

Of course, the homepage was Rick Riordan's blog. I clicked on my favorites menu and did my routine check, going through all known PJO fan sites for new information.

Nothing.

"Diana?" My mom called "We're leaving for dinner, honey."

"'Kay!" I carefully set the laptop back in my suitcase and skipped out the door.

A taxi was already waiting in front of the hotel.

I performed the taxi check before climbing in.

Suddenly, I gasped "Oh my gods! It's Annabeth!"

A tall girl with curly blond hair was entering our hotel.

I reopened the door and ran towards her.

"Hi, Annabeth! Where's Percy and Grover and Thalia? Can I see your invisibility cap? Are you here visiting camp?"

The girl's gray eyes widened and she started running the other way. I was about to follow her, but I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder "NO."

I turned. My mom was glaring at me "You get back into the car right NOW, young lady."

Meekly, I climbed back into the taxi.

I kept quiet as the taxi weaved through traffic. Finally, we stopped in front of a Mexican restaurant.

I ordered an enchilada, in honor of Grover.

I considered jumping on the table and screaming "Burrito fight!", but my mom must have known what I was thinking, because she gave me a death glare.

Not as bad as Thalia's, but bad enough to make me eat my meal in silence.

The waitress brought one of those little tray things with a receipt on it.

"Wait!" I screeched as my dad picked up the pen to sign the check.

I picked it up, held at arm's length, and carefully pulled of the cap. Nothing happened.

I sighed in relief and handed it back to my dad "You can use it now."

The waitress stared at me uneasily. I smiled back up at her "It's fine. Just had to make sure the pen wasn't Riptide. No worries."

She grabbed the check from the table and backed away.

My mom massaged her temples. "Diana, dear. The PJO series is a story. Now I want you on your best behavior when we go have Thanksgiving at grandma's house tomorrow, okay?"

"Of course." I smirked behind my hand. Like that was gonna happen.

Okay. Hopefully, the next chapter will be about eating Thanksgiving dinner. Unless I have sudden inspiration to do something else, like this one.

P.S. And remember to review!
