Hi! Thanks so much to everyone who reviewed. I love getting reviews and so each and everyone makes me a very happy person. First off, I want to congratulate Demigod21, PercabethForeverAndAlways, meiscool2, AnnabethChase1395, xXthe shadow huntressxX, and Ellyva for getting the song correct! The song was: My Happy Ending by Avril Levine.

Speaking of songs, when I was writing the chapter 3 of the story, I had my itunes on shuffle. I realized just how many songs I have that fit this story. So, I decided to make a playlist of songs that I thought fit this story. So, every chapter I will put one of the songs from it that I think fit the chapter, and then at the end of the story on the last chapter I will make a list of all the songs on the playlist.

So, this chapter's song is: Candle (Sick And Tired) by White Tie Affair - not the best fit for the chapter, but most of the songs fit later in the story...


"Please, just leave me alone." I snapped at Layla, who was currently bugging me to death.

"C'mon, just one more game of Black Jack!" Layla moaned. She loves Black Jack because she always wins. She is the master at having a poker face, while I can't hide something for my life.

"No. Besides, you are 10, you shouldn't know how to play it." I said, looking at the countryside. We are somewhere in the middle of America on a three day train ride to California. Sounds like fun? Wrong.

"Well, how come dad taught me it then?" She said, poking at my arm.

I pulled out one of my headphones. "Then why don't you play with dad, please, just leave me alone." I begged.

"Don't you think that I asked him already? He said, 'go play with you're sister.' He was too busy oh his blackberry." She said.

"What about Mom?" I asked.

"You really think mom would stop reading her book on architecture to play black jack with me? Do you even know her?" Layla asked. She was right; mom isn't the biggest fan of games unless it's scrabble or something.

"Fine. One game, you win? We can play something you want. I win, you leave me alone."

"Deal." She said, and began to shuffle the cards. She dealt the cards out, two for me, two for her.

Okay, I have a king and a four. That's 14. "Hit me." I said as she handed me a card. Good! A 4, I think I'm going to stay. 18 is way too close to risk it. "I'll stay."

"Are you sure?" She asked, giving me a devilish glare.

"Uh, yeah." I said making sure there was some confidence in my voice.

"We'll see." She said, as she turned her cards over to show a twenty.

"Shoot!" I screamed. "Fine, you won." I showed her my cards.

"For fun, let's see what you would've gotten." She said with a grin, she flipped over the top card. "A three! You would've won! Too bad…" I rolled my eyes.

"Fine. So what do you want me to do?" I asked, now officially ticked off.

"I don't know." She said. "Let's go talk to mom and dad."

"About what?" I asked. "And why do you need me to talk to them again?"

"I don't, but I don't know what else to do." She stood up and walked out of the seats.

"Fine." I grumbled, and followed her to the next car on the train where we found our parents reading.

"Hi girls, what's up? Having fun?" My dad asked.

"Um, sorta. We don't quite know what to do." Layla explained.

"Well, if you go in my bag, you can watch a movie on my laptop." My mom said, not looking up from her book.

"Sure! Thanks, Mom." Layla said, digging through her bag.

"No problem." My mom replied.

"Got it!" Layla said, lifting the computer straight upwards into the air.

"Okay, Lay, let's get out of the isle before we cause a commotion." I said, grabbing Layla by the arm and pulling her forwards.

"I'm coming!" Layla said following me.

We walked about a foot to the end of the car when something on the floor caught my eye. "Hey, what's this?" I said as I bent down to pick it up. It was a Yankees cap.

"Oh, that was in mom's bag." Layla explained.

"Of all people, I never expected mom to have a Yankees cap." I mean, dad's a huge Yankees fan, which means Mom's a fan too, but why mom would bring a Yankees cap to California, is beyond me.

"I don't know, maybe dad brought it and is having her carry it?" Layla suggested.

"Would mom really carry something for someone else besides her?" I asked. Mom's just a little bit… self-sufficient? Yeah, self-sufficient.

"No, but whatever. It's just a hat, why are we reading so much into a baseball cap?" Layla said, she sat down back in our seats and opened the laptop.

"I don't know." I said and stuck the hat on top of my head. Something about me felt different about me when I put the hat on. I took it off and suddenly I felt back to normal. Weird hat…

I don't know how, but the rest of the train trip didn't feel as bad or as long, but I kept the hat. I may not be the smartest chip on the block, but something about that hat was weird, and I was going to figure it out.

"Izzy, I'm almost positive that I'm not going to find someone famous here. Do you know how little the chances are?" I said as we walked through the doors of the hotel in Los Angles. I was talking to Izzy on the phone, who was insisting that if I saw a celebrity, that I would get their autograph and have a picture taken with them for her.

"I know, I know. I'm just saying…" Izzy said from the other end.

"Okay, fine. I should go, we're at the hotel." I said.

"Have fun! I'll talk to you later. Bye!" She said cheerfully.

"I will! Bye!" I hung up the phone. For one reason or another, mom let me call Izzy. I think it's because she felt bad about having me be stuck on a train for three days. Either way, for once mom aloud me to make a phone call, and I wasn't going to let it go to waste. I mean, whom else am I going to call besides Izzy?

"You girls sit here while we go ahead and check in." Dad said to Layla and I. We walked over to the couches and sat down.

"I can't wait to sleep in a bed and not on a train cot." Layla said and we sat ourselves down on the couches.

"Me too." I agreed and rested my head against the back of the couch. We sat in silence for about three minutes before Layla began to talk again.

"I could swear I've seen him before." Layla said, pointing to a man with jet-black hair. He had his back to us, but I defiantly have seen him before.

"Don't point! But I must say, he does look oddly familiar." I replied. That's when the impossible happened. The man turned around, and I knew exactly where I've seen him before.

"Oh my gods. I know who that is." I whispered loudly to Layla.

"Who?" She asked, practically tugging on my arm.

"That's Percy Jackson! The American Hero!" I said. I can't believe it! Izzy was right! I did see someone famous! "We have to go talk to him!"

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Layla asked, trying her best to hold me back.

"No, but we have to do it for Izzy." I insisted and stood straight up. I began to walk over to where he was and Layla followed close behind.

"Excuse me, I don't mean to bother you or anything, but my friend is a huge fan of yours and I was wondering if I could get you're autograph and my picture taken with you-" Layla tugged on my arm. "-With my sister in the picture it would be greatly appreciated."

He ran his hand through his hair and smiled a little bit at us. "Uh, sure. Why not? I'm not in a hurry."

"Thanks so much. I'm really sorry for taking you're time." I said as my parents turned around from the check in desk.

"Lay, go tell mom and dad we need them to take a picture. Okay?" I told Layla, she nodded and ran off. I heard mom and dad talking.

"Take a picture? Of who, you're sister?" I heard dad ask.

"No, of us with Percy Jackson!" She said happily.

"What?" My mom said as shock spread across her face. They walked up to where Percy and I were standing. I can't exactly explain what happened, but something in my mom and Percy's eyes changed when their eyes met. Then Percy said something, something that was so strange, and something that was completely life changing. He said:

"My gods, Annabeth Chase."

Okay, sorry for cliffhanger. But if I get more than 10 or so reviews I will make sure to update this weekend. If not, I can't promise anything. Reviews motivate me and I have other stories to update as well so if I get more reviews, I'll be more motivated to update. So, please review! =)

Thanks for reading (and hopefully reviewing)!
