Sorry we couldn't update. We were busy

Natalie

I traveled on my own for a few days, sad and lonely; always feeling like something was watching my every move. I didn't eat for 3 days straight. I felt weak and tired. I looked down at a puddle and saw my reflection. I saw a girl that looked about 20 with dark bags under eyes. Her eyes no longer shined and were rich, but were instead a dull brown glazed over by tears. It seemed like I was no longer 14.

I reached up and touched my right cheek. Was this person really me? It seemed I was lonelier than I thought. I stumbled to the nearest tree and sat down, knees brought to my chest.

It started to rain and my tears flowed along with it. I wished Justin was here to comfort me. Everything I loved was taken from me from by Gaea and Kronos. I hated them to the gut and I vowed to take my revenge. I felt stronger from my fierce determination, and I willed myself to step out into the rain. The water soothed me and I felt the same sensation as I had felt in Kronos' lair. Everything sharpened into clear view. I grinned a very determined grin, and started back on my journey to save those whom I love and stop Gaea and Kronos once and for all.

It was still a long journey to Gaea's and yet, even worse, we were lost! What great luck, right? And of course, we just had to have the two greatest heroes of all time come with me on this quest. To pass the time, they started boasting about their girlfriends.

Percy said, "Annabeth is REALLY smart."
Jason responded, "Yeah, so? Piper is really pretty AND smart."
Percy: "SO IS ANNABETH!"
Jason: "Nu uh!"
Percy: "Yes!"
I just rolled my eyes and thought about Caroline. Where she was, how to save her, and how she was the awesomest girl I had ever met. My face felt warm when I recalled the countless times she stood up for me at school and at Gaea's "Torture Chamber", and how she said I meant the whole world to her. I smiled to myself, and her smile and her laughter stayed with me for the rest of the day, and helped me get through the journey.

I said, " Hey guys, nobody can be smart, and nobody can be beautiful. We're all equal."

Percy asked," Wait, so you're saying that hobos can be beautiful and smart?"

Jason said," Percy, you're not getting it. Alex is saying that hobo's are so beautiful and smart to him, that he would choose them over Caroline."

I said," You're not getting the point. I'm saying, everybody is equal."

Percy:" So, you're saying Apes are sexy?

I said, "Well, ya know, we were once monkeys in our lifetime, SEAWEED BRAIN. Don't you EVER pay attention in class?"

Percy: "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

I said, "You are a total idiot. I don't even get what Annabeth sees in you."

Percy:" Do you want us to help us save your girlfriend, or not?"

Me:" First of all, she's not my girlfriend! Second of all, yes please!"

Jason: " Plus, in school, Percy and I were total jocks."

Me:" Um, that's nice to know?"

Percy: " And I'm guessing your a nerd, Alex."

" Am not. Now shut up."
