Chapter 2
Annabeth's POV
I started to pack for the trip while Seaweed Brain just lied down on the bed. "Come on, I don't want to go either but you have to at least pack." He obeyed my orders but was just throwing anything into the suitcase. I sighed. "Alright Seaweed Brain, let me help you." He grinned as I told him what to get and brought it to me. "See, this is why i have you, Wise Girl," he said as he gently kissed my head. "And what would you be without me?" I asked. "Probably roaming the Underworld." He answered. We laughed and continued packing.
We went to Thalia's tree after we finished packing. Chiron told us we would be traveling by plane. Instantly, Nico, Percy, Thalia, and Hazel stiffened up. Thalia looked like she was about to vomit. Nico and Hazel started to hold on to each other. Percy held tightly onto my hand and was looking a bit blue. "A plane!? I'm sure Uncle Zeus would gladly blast me out of the sky!" Percy screamed. "Don't worry. Zeus assured me that he will not blast any of you in the air for as long as this quest will last." Chiron explained. It eased them a bit but they still were stiff.
As soon as we got on the plane, they were freaking out, mostly Percy and Thalia. Nico was sitting next to Hazel and Frank. Frank was trying to soothe Hazel and it seemed to be working. Nico still looked pale but he seemed to be less scared once in the air. Thalia, however , looked like she was ready to vomit which was bad for me as I was sitting next to her. Unfortunately, she sat next to the window which did not help at all. I let her hold one of my hand while the other was being squeezed by Percy. "Seaweed Brain, it'll be okay. Besides if Zeus blasts you out of the sky, Poseidon will wage a full on war with him. And I'll be there by his side, avenging your death." I said in a comforting voice. He smiled and said "True, I would rather not did at all but true. Thanks, Wise Girl." Then he kissed me. We probably wouldn't have pulled away until we heard a cough. It was Thalia. "Seriously, please get a room." She said in disgust. We laughed and I held both of their hands as the flight continued.
Piper's POV
I was pretty relaxed being a child of Aphrodite. Percy, Nico, Thalia, and Hazel were really worried. I, on the other hand, spent most of the flight gazing at my boyfriend, Jason and looking out the window. Jason looked so natural being in the air and the light from the window shined right on him. He looked so cute with the sunshine shining on his blond hair, his blue eyes glistening. I leaned in and kissed him for a good few minutes until he pulled away. "What was that for?" He asked, grinning. "For being the best boyfriend ever." I responded, which was the exact answer he wanted to hear as he pulled me in for another kiss. "GET A ROOM YOU GUYS!" Thalia screamed. I pulled away, blushing like a red tomato and nuzzled my head on Jason's shoulder who was also as red as a tomato.
We finally landed and Percy was practically kissing the ground while thanking the gods for letting him live. Chiron told us to look for a red handed man holding a sign with our names. Probably not smart considering we are dyslexic but we figured it out. We found a red haired man holding a sign which Frank, thank the gods for Frank, informed us had our names on it. Percy approached him and said "Hello, we are the American exchange students who you will be housing." The man looked nice, he seemed like a fatherly figure and replied saying:"Yes, I am Arthur Weasley. Nice to meet you all. I am aware of your heritage as will the rest of the Order will be as well. It's a pleasure to meet such brave demigods. Come on now, I shall take you to the Burrow where you will meet Harry, his friends, my children, and the Order."
We all followed him into the car. The car was a five seated which obviously didn't fit us all. Nico insisted on shadow traveling there but he didn't know what it looked like or where it was so no luck there. Arthur sat in the driver's seat of course. Hazel sat in the front passenger seat with Frank, who turned into an iguana to save some space, on her lap. In the back, Annabeth had to sit on Percy's lap, I sat on Jason's lap, Nico and Thalia had to be squished next to us, and somehow, with a little charmspeak involved, we got Leo to sit in the trunk. Finally we arrived at the Burrow, happy to finally be rid of that cramped car. Arthur led us in the door to a quaint little home. A nice woman came and greeted us. "Welcome to my home. My name is Molly Weasley, Arthur's wife and i will be caring for you for as long as you stay in my house. Think of me as your mother." After that she started hugging each one of us. It was kind but Nico was not pleased. He turned paler than before after she was done. Once she was finished, she called out for some people to come and see us." Ron, bring your siblings and friends to greet out new guests!" She shouted. A group of redheads , a bushy haired girl, and a boy that looked like Percy came to greet us. Molly spoke to break the silence between us, "Go on introduce yourselves."
