Cahpter 16

A park with a playground

Lindsay walked by a small little playground muttering things to herself. She heard music from a guitar, she looked around and saw the man playing was sitting on a bench by the playground. The man was wearing a white shirt that had a smiling sun wearing shades on it. It was showing under a brown leather jacket, he wore a jean that had rips and tares. He was smiling at her, damn it why can't they freaking leave me alone thought Lindsay. There was crowd of girls who of course had crushs on him with his looks and musical talent. He then began to sing Come back to me. She just glared at him and then went back to walking. Apollo got up and began walking towards her still singing. Apollo didn't care if he left his guitar case behind, he still played his guitar. Of course his fan girls walked after him. So this is how Daphane felt when she was being chased by him. Too bad mother earth doesn't talk much anymore.(more like she's giving everyone the cold shoulder.) She stopped at a crossing of intersection. She pressed the button for the crossing sign. Apollo walked up behind her only inches away from her hair. Lindsay turned around to look at the crowd of girls he looked for a certian girl.( not really looking for a girl, well one that would fit in her plan.) She saw the perfect girl. It was a girl who is probably nineteen, she had short blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and she wore glasses. The glasses didn't hurt or improve her looks, she was okay looking overall if you were to ask any guy. She had a look taht said I wish I could go out with that guy look. Lindsay took out a cell phone, well it was a special cell phone. It had a charm swaying down from it, that concealed the location she was calling from monsters. Thank you Pan, she had thought when Pan had given it to her a when the first cell phones came out. She decided this was the two weeks to claim some favors that people owed her. " Yes hello may I speak to Mr. Limbord." Lindsay said into the phone. " Oh tell him about the 98 ski resort incident." Lindsay waited for a few moments then she heard a mans voice. " Yeah you still owe one, okay I have this friend I would like to send to your resaurant. He has a date and asked me if I could help him get a good first impression for him on the girl. So I thought why not your resaurant. Okay they should be coming around say six o'clock. good okay, it was no problem tell Allie I said hi." Lindsay said ending the call. She could wait for the sign on the other side of the street to change to allow her to cross. She turned around and hugged Apollo. although the guitar got in the way a bit. She smiled at the girl she had planned to use. The girls point of view looked like Apollo was telling Lindsay something as his mouth was close to her ear. Lindsay broke the hug as a stunned Apollo was trying to process what has just happened. " Hey you." Lindsay said pointing at the girl. " He say he wants to go on a date with you to night around six." Lindsay says as she let her backpack drop to the ground and toke out a pen and a pad of post it wrote the address of the resurant address on a sheet of post it note. She stuck on to Apollo's shirt. " Now you can't get out of this." She said softly to him.

" No way you did not just give me a date to get rid of me." Apollo said amazed.

" Do you want me to call Leto?" Lindsay asked with a puppy dog look on her face. Apollo groaned and went over to the girl. Lindsay smiled at his defeat. Leto owed her a favor as well, well after living so long you eventually have a couple a favors here and there that you can claim.

Artemis's palace.

Percy had called his roomate who as well as Lindsay owed him a favor. (To you readers his dad is Carl Limbord.) First off he was using the phone in Artemis's palace, it has been used since it was added, and there was no way monster were gonna come near this place. " Yeah can your dad get a table for me and my date?" Percy asked. Percy waited for a bit as his friend being the spoiled child that we was to call his dad with his other wasn't the snobby rich kid he was actually pretty cool about it. He helped out everyone at their times of need in their college even if they have been jerks to him. Percy was lucky the dean and most of the college board were demigods themselves or else he would have been kicked out for missing these past few days. " Thanks man hope you can get Lisa back man." Percy said into the phone before hanging up. Artemis looked at Percy with a what did you just plan look if it was a look. " I hope you can get us to this place at around six this afternoon." Percy said writting down the address of the place they where going to go on a sheet of paper.

Zeus's palace

" I can not believe out of all the demigods and mortals there are out there my Thalia falls for your son!" Zeus booms shaking the entire palace.

" You think I'm happy with my son dating your daughter? He could have done better then your petty daughter!" Hades roared at his brother.

" You dare say my daughter is below your son? Your son couldn't even get a date with a cyclops!" Zeus yelled out with a laugh at the end of his sentence.

" I would believe that this is all your problem when you jumped of the wagon all those years ago." Hades said.

" Enough do you not believe this is fate?" Aphrodite stated from covering her ears as she walked over to them.

" How is that so Aphrodite?" They both asked the goddess.

" Nico is the son of Hades that you tried to kill Zeus, and Thalia is the daughter of zeus that you tried to kill Hades." Aphrodite said with all hopes of them letting her have her fun to take her mind off her daughter. She sighed at the thought of her eldest daughter.

" Hmm, you are right but it is wrong Aphrodite." Zeus said.

" How is it wrong you and Hera are brother and sister they are first cousins and they truely love each other without me planting the seeds. I just gave it a little water thats all." Aphrodite admitted.

Hades nodded and decided to be the bigger parent. " I'll allow them one chance." Hades said with destain.

" If you will then I shall as well." Zeus said not wanting to look like an extremely strict father.

Guest Palace ( 5:40 ET)

Annabeth, Rachel, Nico, and steve were playing poker as Percy walked down the stairs in a tux that made Rachel and Annabeth gasp for air as they couldn't breathe at how handsome he looked in the tux. " And where are you going Percy?" asked Steve.

" I have a date tonight." Percy said. Now Annabeth, Nico, Rachel, and Steve dropped the jaws gapping at that statement alone.

" Who is it?" Rachel and Annabeth said with a sweet tone but there eyes gave it all away.

" Umm its a secret." Percy said realising he should have not told them that at all. He began running out the door as Rachel and Annabeth and Rachel chased after him. Nico shrugged off that and went back to playing poker with Steve, Nico really didn't care all he cared about now this moment was Thalia. Steve felt like he needed to go hide in his room, as Percy just stole all the girls away from all the other guys well Lindsay someone could say is untamable like Artemis in his mind.

" Does Percy always get the girls like that?" Steve asked as Nico showed the flopped. King of clubs, Ace of spades, nine of spades.

" Hmmm never really cared cause I'm only into one girl." Nico said rolling chips in his left hand while peeking at his cards with his right hand. " Check."

" Oh and might this special girl be at Camp Half-blood?" Steve asked looking at his pocket pair of Jacks.

" check."

" No one you need to know." Nico said turning over the turn. Ace of clubs.

Little Heavan

Apollo was spilt between this date. He lost track of Lindsay and half of him wanted to go after her, then there was this half that wanted to go through with this date. She sures know how to send my mind to traffic thought Apollo. " May I help you sir?"asked the waiter up by what ever you call that little table you call it were they greet guest.

" I have reservations here." Apollo said.

" Name please." The waiter said looking down at the sheet of paper on a clip board. Apollo grabbed the post it note out of his pocket and read it one last time. He let out a sigh.

" Greg A. Yager" Apollo said hating the intials of the name. Gosh she has a very evil mind. The waiter must have noticed the intials of his name beacuse he let out a chuckle.

" All right this way." the waiter said leading the way to a beautiful table by a window that gave them a look at most of New york city. The waiter set down two menu's.

" I'll right back." the waiter said as he saw a couple standing waiting to be seated.

" I have reservations here tonight." said Percy. Artemis was trying to look small and that was because Apollo was here. She saw him sitting with a blonde girl in a white dress. Artemis was wearing a purple dress, with silver animal disigns on it from wolves and bears to stags and wabbits. ( I felt like I needed to say it that way.) The design was on the bottom of the dress in a repeating pattern.

" Name please?" The waiter asked as a line began to from behind the two.

" Percy Jackson." Percy said. The waiter callled up another waiter.

" Come with me." said the same waiter that had asked for his name. If Artemis had the worse luck in going out with a guy then pasting and sitting in the booth in front of your brother on a date was really bad luck. Apollo was awe struck in seeing Artemis with her hair let down and with Percy. Well the Percy part was a bit over done, but a date what has happened to his sister. The waiter set the two their menu's and went only a few feet to Apollo.

" Are you ready to order sir?" the waiter asked.

" Yes I'll have the steak well done please. You dear?" Apollo said.

" I'll have the house salad and a glass of red wine." His date said.

" What would you care to drink sir?" again the waiter asked Apollo.

" I'll also have a galss of red wine." Apollo said as both he and his date gave the waiter their menu's.

" So what are you going to get Artemis?" asked Percy. Apollo stood up and his date looked at him with the hmmm? look on her face. Apollo went over to Percy's and Artemis's table.

" Fancy meeting you here sis." Apollo said with a grin.

" I don't Percy I'm still looking through the menu." Artemis said ingoring her brother.

" You know them Greg?" asked Apollo's date.

" Yeah this is my sister Artemis, and her date Percy. Percy, Artemis this is Hannah." Apollo said.

" Hey there Hannah, Greg." Percy said Greg with a slight cringe.

" I know what I'll order, you?" Artemis said acting as if Apollo wasn't even there.

" Yeah I know what I'll get." Percy said with a I'm sorry for the way she's acting look to Hannah. Apollo went back to sitting on the other side of Hannah. He started a conversation with her.

" So Artemis you gonna tell me why you ingored your brother?" Percy asked as the waiter came out with a tray came out with Apollo and Hannah's order.

" I'm sorry for the long wait, what will you like to order sir?" the waiter said. Of course the reason other then that was what he was suppose to say for taking a little longer on anothers order was because techincally both table were how would you say family owner friends. What they order was on the house.

" It's alright." Percy said with a grin. "I'll have the Steak house burger with bacon and a side salad to go with it and a coke please. And you my dear?"

" I'll have the baby back ribs with glass of lemonade." Artemis said. They both just as Apollo and Hannah had done they gave the waiter their menu's.

Motel 8 Room 12

Lindsay set her back aganist the bed. If she wanted to she could be a millionare altough she was already. She had a bank account she barely used in eight diffrent countries other then the USA. Hey it sucks when you have no use for the cash. Her mother had given her some of her wealth, but as usual she helped some important figures reach were they are now in the history books. She took out her fathers sword. She had done a lot of searching for things for Hephaetus during Romes height of power. So he made her fathers sword can't age and it can't rust so it will always look shiney new. She had also asked the smith go to engrave the greek words that her father has always taught her. Never forget those who you love. She looked at those words and smiled, and tear up. There was a knock on the door. Lindsay carefully with the sword in hand opened the door to see it was Ares. " Hey there." Ares said with a smirk.

" Why are you here?" Lindsay asked wanting to get rid of Ares as soon as possible.

" I have someone here to you company here for your two week quest." Ares said.

" If its you or Apollo you can march back to Hera." Lindsay responded.

" No its someone you know." Ares said back. And it was the most oddest moment in Lindsay's long life and she's seen odd.

" Hey there long time no see eh Lindsay?" greeted the young man. He had deep dreamy ocean blue eyes and short neatly brush hair to his right side. He had a smile his face.

" No you can't be here in the flesh Hades wouldn't let you." Lindsay said stumbling backwards.

" I am." the young man said and she noticed he had a white backpack slung over his nice slender shoulders.

" No way John. How did you?" She asked the question towards Ares.

" Hades owes me on some wars like the Franco-Prussia war." Ares said. "So I thought why not give my son a chance to tag along the girl he loves in her possible last two weeks."

" Apollo told you didn't he. Artemis could never hide legal or anything on written from him." Lindsay muttered. John looked at her almost sad face then down to her short sword.

" Yeah he did." Ares said.

" Fine he can tag along." Lindsay said truthfully annoyed at this under handed tactic by Ares.

" Great. Now son don't do anything stupid around her remeber what I told you." Ares said trying to joke around. No one was laughing. " Fine you guys don't have a sense of humor." Ares said disappearing.

" If we don't have a sense in humor he has no comdey at all." John said making Lindsay giggle. Wait I just giggled now way, Lindsay thought.

" You know you get cuter everytime I see you." John said finally walking into the room.

" I'll sleep on the pull out couch you can sleep on the bed." Lindsay said.

" No you sleep on the bed." Lindsay said. John felt there was strange awkardness in the room.

" Why are you being too nice to me?" asked John.

" Nothing I just want to sleep on the pull out couch." Lindsay said hoping he wouldn't push it any farther.

" No there is something wrong with you why are you being this nice?" asked John.

" Leave it alone." Lindsay says.

" No I'm not, not till you tell me why." John said walking towards her and closing the distance fast.

" Leave it alone I said." Lindsay says once again.

" No tell why now." John said softly into her ear as he places his hands on her shoulders.

" Because you gave your life for me and you said you love me with your last dying breath." Lindsay finall admitted and finally for the fifth time in her long life span showed weakness in front of someone. She began crying.

" I'm sorry if I hurt you in some way with those words but I really love you." John said placing his lips on hers.
