Time skip, end of the school year.

"I can't believe the whole school gets to go to Poseidon's Splash City water park for an end of the year class trip. What kind of school is able to do that for free?" Asked one of Carly's mortal friends as they waited for dismissal.

"One that's got a major in with the owner of the park." Carly said as her dad pulled up to pick up her and Luke.

"See you guys tomorrow." Carly called as she helped her little brother into the car.

Since Percy had to stay at the water park until it closed, he had worked out a deal with his kids.

He would pick them up from school and take them to the park. When they arrived, Percy would take them to the employee break room so they could do their homework and relax. Once their homework was done, Percy would give them the swimsuits he'd brought to work with him and let them play in the water park until either their mother came to pick them up and take them home, or until the park closed. They usually wound up getting their dinner from the concession stand on school nights.

Today was no different.

"Dad, you rock. Everyone at school loves me and Luke because you're letting us have our end of the year trip at the waterpark this year." Carly said.

Percy smiled and said "Well, you've spent the past 4 years of elementary school complaining as to how boring and lame the end of the year trips are for you, I thought that I'd make this one a bit more fun."

Luke smiled at his daddy as well.

The week of the field trip, everyone was excited. After all, it wasn't everyday they got to go the most awesome water park in the country for a school trip.

Finally, Friday rolled around and everyone was wearing their swimsuits underneath their clothes.

"Carly, Luke can you 2 please come to my office?" the principal asked and they nodded.

"Is something wrong?" Carly asked

"No, I just wanted to let you know that your father asked that you bring your things with you, I believe that since this trip will be lasting till the end of the day, you'll just stay there with him."

Carly and Luke both nodded.

When the buses arrived at the park, Percy was waiting for them.

One by one, the students got off the bus and headed into the lobby.

"Alright, everyone break into your groups." The principal said

"Why don't we have groups?" Luke asked

"Because you 2 know this park so well it's impossible for you to get lost. Besides, you're staying here after everyone else leaves." Percy told his son as he took Luke and Carly's backpacks.

"Alright everyone, I'm just going to lay down a few ground rules before I let you in. Rule number 1, please, no running, I don't want any of you to slip and get hurt. Number 2, no rough housing. Number 3, please only eat food in the concession area. Number 4, mind your manners, we've got a lot of other guests here who are paying customers and I don't want to get complaints that you were being rude to them. Failure to follow these rules will result in an immediate evacuation from the park. But the most important rule of all is, have fun." Percy said

Everyone grinned as Percy opened the doors to let them. Carly and Luke headed off to ride their favorite water slides while the rest of the school had to wait in line to get wrist bands.

"How come Carly and Luke and don't have to get wrist bands?" one of the 5th graders complained.

"Because their father owns the park, the staff know them and therefore do not need wrist bands." A teacher explained.

"Lucky." Someone else complained as they were finally allowed to go have fun.
