A/N:*Sorry I haven't updated in 4ever! I've been sick so, here's chapter 5! And have a Merry Valentine's Day! LOL JK

"For Pete's sake, will y'all shut up!" Tim yelled. "I didn't mean "we're crashing"; I meant "sit your butts down because we're fixing to land!""

"Oh," Percy says, looking towards the cockpit while he was sitting on his head with his feet up in in the air, "now you decide to tell us!"

Tim looked back towards Percy. "Get your feet off of Stewart's wall!"

Percy tilted his head, causing him to fall. "Who's Stewart?"

Tim clammed up. The plane landed with a bounce. Tim came out as soon as the plane came to a complete stop. He had on cargo shorts (apparently, Ryder and her friends loved Cargo pants), a red Alabama shirt and brown sandals. He had black hair that was a lot like Percy's, but he was as tall as the average man. He glanced at Percy quickly, but his eyes left about as quickly as they appeared. He opened the door and let the stairs down. As soon as everyone stepped out, Percy asked, "Why is it so hot?"

"It's Alabama, dummy!" Ryder said with the biggest smile on her face. She slid down the rail. When everyone saw the limo, their mouths dropped.

"I know you said you were –," Atticus started. Ryder put her hand over his mouth.

"MMM!" he yelled.

"Don't say a word about that," Ryder said in a close to begging voice.

"MHM," he said, nodding his head.

The driver's door opened. A man with shaggy blonde hair got out and smiled. "Ryder!" he said while walking over to her. He gave her a hug. "So your mama decided to change you back to your real age, huh? Now I feel old." He laughed and then looked at Atticus.

"Well, you must be the kid those Cahill's are looking for. How 'bout you hop in the limo and call them?"

Atticus smiled and ran into the limo. Soon, they heard Skype being turned on and Atticus yelling, "SO COOL! THERE'S POPCORN!"

Ryder laughed. "Oh, James, this is Leo, Hazel, Frank, Percy, Jason, and Piper; you guys, this is James."

"Nice to me y'all," James said. "Well, y'all hop in. It's a two hour drive so make yourself comfortable." Everyone climbed in, but Ryder let everyone in before her so that she could stay in the seat out of view from the camera. Leo sat next to her.

"Atticus," a thirteen year old boy asked, "how did you escape?"

"Well," Atticus said, "Ryder saved me. She was kidnapped too. I hit this button and it unhooked the thing that was holding her. They gave her something and she jumped out and went kung fu ninja on Casper and Cheyenne Wyoming. She hurt Cheyenne pretty bad; same as Casper, but more Cheyenne. So we escaped and went to her warship thing where her friends were. Leo, her friend (but I think she wishes he was her boyfriend) –."

"ATTICUS!" everyone yelled.

"Uh, sorry; anyways, he let me borrow some of his clothes because mine were ruined. So while Leo and Ryder were working on the boat, Leo screwed up and busted the water pipe. The engine room began flooding and so Frank took me upstairs so I wouldn't get hurt, and right when I moved, a machine fell where I was standing. Luckily, I was already upstairs. So, apparently, Ryder got stuck or something underwater and broke her foot, but before that, Jason and Percy looked in her bag, so she did something and made Percy's pants blow up!"

Dan began laughing. "When do you want us to come get you? Jake's worried."

"Is he there?"

"Yep; JAKE, ATTICUS IS ON!"

Soon, footsteps were running up the stairs. A browned headed boy who looked absolutely nothing like Atticus appeared.

"Atticus! Oh my god, are you ok?" Jake asked.

"Yea, I'm fine. Ryder saved me and also kicked some Vesper butt!"

"Who's Ryder?"

"She's an Ekat/demigod."

"Excuse me?"

Atticus looked at Ryder. "Can I tell them?"

"Can they wait till they pick you up?" Ryder asked. "It'll be easier for me to explain it."

"Ok." He looked back at the screen. "You heard her."

The limo had already gone for a while. James rolled down the window. "We got about an hour and a half left. Adam, that WIFI might cut out soon."

"It's Atticus."

"Sorry, but we're about to hit the dead spot, so you might want to hurry."

Atticus looked at the screen. "I think Ryder wants you to get here like tomorrow. Is that right?"

Ryder nodded her head.

"WHO-HOO!" Dan yelled. He did a back handspring.

"Where'd you learn how to do that?" Jake asked.

"I'd like to thank the Academy," Dan said. He began laughing. Jake laughed to.

"Well, I guess we'll see you tomorrow!"

"Okie dokie!"

The video started getting static-y. "I'll call you later." Atticus said, just as the screen went white.

The car ride home was amazing. An hour later, the limo pulled up outside of this huge house. Ryder gulped.

"Whoa, who's house is this?" Frank asked.

"Mine," Ryder said. "Guy's, I might've forgot to mention something to y'all."

"What?"

"I'm a multi-billionaire."
