Hank's POV (Terminus's epilogue)

"Oh gods, this is gonna take forever," I complained to my friend, Bobby. Bobby was Hannibal, the elephant's, caretaker.

"That stupid caffeine experiment..." Bobby muttered. Ever since the experiment, Terminus has taken extreme measures to keep Mountain Dew out of New Rome. There was one long line that stretched from Terminus's main statue. After one hour, Bobby and I reached the statue.

"Weapons on the conveyor belt!" Julia said happily, gesturing to the conveyer belt that tracked around the border. Grudgingly, Bobby and I placed our weapons on the belt, where they would be scanned for caffeine then given back to us once we left New Rome.

"Breathe!" Julia commanded, shoving a breathalyzer into our faces. We did as we were told, and Julia showed Terminus the screen.

"0.02% Blood/Caffeine Content! They are allowed to proceed," Terminus motioned us on to the next area. Here, we passed through a caffeine detector and were declared clean. Finally, after an hour and a half, Bobby and I were allowed to enter New Rome.

"That took forever," Bobby commented as we walked down an avenue in New Rome.

"Yeah," I replied. "Why did we need to come into New Rome in the first place? After all the examining, I forgot our original mission!"

"Me too. But, c'mon! I have to show you something!"

"What?"

"Terminus forgot to remove the enchanted soda machine from the Senate House. Free Mountain Dew inside New Rome!"

"Lead the way!"

Frank's POV

I was calmly grabbing an afternoon snack in the mess hall when Leo ran up to me. He was panting and sweaty, like he had just ran across camp.

"FRANK!" Leo yelled. "Oh, oh good! It's you! So I didn't kill you!"

"Umm, Leo buddy, you okay?"

"Just fine!"

"Then why did you say that you thought you killed me?"

"Well, I went to the restroom this morning and pooped out a dead goldfish. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't you!"

I stared at Leo strangely. "When did you eat a goldfish?"

He shrugged. "No idea. Hey, do you have any idea who the goldfish could be or belong to?"

"I have no idea. Who at camp would be or have a goldfish?" I asked back.

We both thought for a second. Our eyes widened simultaneously, and we yelled at the same time, "PERCY!"

"Annabeth's gonna kill me," Leo muttered as we started searching camp. "I pooped out her boyfriend!"

Don's POV

"Listen, Don. We need to talk," Reyna said as she came up to me. I was in the Field of Mars, searching for money that the demigods dropped during last night's Deathball game. I had a Mountain Dew in my hand, and a bunch of coins in the other.

"What's up Reyna?"

"Don, we are worried about you," Jason appeared behind Reyna.

"Why are you worried?" I asked, perplexed. "I'm perfectly fine!"

"Don," Reyna had a serious expression on her face. "You're drinking a pack a day. It isn't healthy."

"We want to help you Don," Jason patted my back. "We will help you overcome your addiction to Mountain Dew."

"I'm not addicted!" I protested as I took another swig of the Mountain Dew I had in my hand. It was my twelfth, and it was just past lunch.

Jason reached over and took the drink from my hand. "We want what's best for you Don. Please, let us help you! We don't want to lose you!"

"Don," Reyna pleaded. "Please enroll in Terminus's Stay Caffeine Free For Life class! We want our great faun back!"

"Fine," I sighed. "But you're paying for the class." They smiled and walked away, and I pulled out my spare Mountain Dew can that was strapped to my back. Might as well enjoy it while I still can.

Jason's POV (Reyna's epilogue)

All of the Seven, plus Reyna, were eating dinner together in the mess hall. After the experiment, Leo and Reyna has kept their distance from each other. To try and diffuse their awkward tension, I made them sit by each other during dinner. Neither had really even touched their food. Leo was too busy fiddling with a mechanical object under the table, and Reyna was too busy fiddling with her nails under the table. They wouldn't even talk to each other! I decided something needed to be done.

"Guys," I said to them. "We all know you like each other. The experiment proved it!"

Leo and Reyna looked at me, blushing. "W-what?" Leo squeaked out, his hands underneath the table.

"Just date already!" Piper sighed, exasperated. "We're tired of this awkwardness!" The rest of the Seven nodded their heads in agreement.

"Well..." Leo muttered, glancing at Reyna. Reyna locked eyes with him, nodded, and spoke.

"We actually are dating." Reyna pulled her hand from out under the table, revealing it to be intertwined with Leo's hand. "After the experiment, we talked and... Well... We kissed and started dating."

What?! They were dating this whole time?!

"How could I not have known!" Piper berated herself.

"Plot twist!" Percy called out.

"You're really dating?" Hazel asked, dumbfounded. They nodded.

"She's both the coldest and hottest girl I've ever met!" Leo grinned at Reyna, leaning closer to her. Reyna leaned in closer and closed the gap.

All of us just watched them. It was way too weird. I definitely did not expect this.

"I guess not all of the caffeine's side effects were bad..." I commented as my two best friends kissed each other.

Apollo's POV

"ATTENTION! ALL OLYMPIAN GODS AND GODDESSES TO THE THRONE ROOM NOW!" I shouted across Olympus. I had just arrived back from my visit to Camp Jupiter, and I had to tell the Olympians about caffeine!

Ten minutes later, all the Olympians were assembled in the throne room.

"What do you want now Apollo?" Ares grumbled. "I was in the middle of sharpening my swords!"

"And I was in the middle of watching the cutest guy in the world sharpen his swords!" Aphrodite swooned, smiling at Ares. Hephaestus gagged.

"Please. No PDA. This is a throne room for goodness sakes!" Ares made a face at Hephaestus.

"Guys! Back to the main point of this meeting!" Apollo called out. "I have discovered a substance better than nectar and ambrosia combined!"

"I highly doubt that," Athena scowled. "There is no possible substance out there that has better healing properties than nectar or ambrosia!"

"I say wine gives nectar a run for its money..." Dionysus added to the conversation.

"Anyway, since I am the god of medicine and awesome, I declare caffeine healthier and awesomer than nectar and ambrosia!"

"HEY!" Zeus and Hermes shouted at the same time. "I'M the god of awesome!"

"Boys! Calm down!" Hera intercepted their fierce glares.

"Anyway," Apollo continued. "Caffeine is great, and it has sorta awesome side effects!"

"Sorta awesome?" Poseidon asked.

"Well, it wasn't so awesome when I flirted with Artemis..."

"That was disgusting on so many levels!" Artemis grimaced.

"I'm surprised Apollo didn't take a visit to my domain after that," Hades commented. "I wish I was there to witness that..."

"You can see it if you want to!" Apollo piped in.

"What?" Artemis asked. "You filmed it?!"

"No, Gwen filmed it for her observations. I also have a video of the Greeks on caffeine, as well as the Romans. Wanna watch it? Warning: It gets pretty cray-cray..."

The answer was a unanimous yes.
