KPOV:

** This is right after Percy had the talk with Kat**

"Hey. How did your talk with Percy go?" Nick asked walking into the room.

"Fine. He didn't even yell, in fact, we didn't really talk about it. Annabeth beat him to it, and she was really nice about it." I responded, picking up a magazine, "What about your sister?"

"Well, she just stared at me for like five minutes. She was looking at me like I was from Mars. It was kind of creepy..." He trailed off.

"I bet it was. And after that?" I asked.

"She sighed, stood up and made Nico talk to me." He said.

"About what?"

"He talked to me about things." Ohhh. Ewww.

"Oh. Yeah, I don't need details." I scrunched my face up. And turned back to the magazine.

"Nico and I are going to the dining cart. Apparently there is some all-you-can-eat thing..." he walked out the door.

"Was that a part of the talk?" I called after him.

He stuck his head back in, "Why yes, yes it was." And then he laughed.

I smiled and closed the door. It was starting to get really hot. This is when being a child of Poseidon is awesome, you just freeze some water vapor and it is nice and cool. The door opened again. Clarisse walked in with Katie trailing behind her.

"Wow. It's cool in here." Clarisse said sitting down.

"Daughter of Poseidon." I stated.

"I figured." Clarisse pulled Katie up onto her lap. "The boys went off to the dinning cart."

"What is it with guys and food?" I asked setting my magazine down.

"Who knows? What is with Thalia and chocolate?" She countered.

"Right?" I laughed. Thalia was like obsessed with chocolate. It amazed me she was still so skinny with how much she ate.

"It is actually pretty funny. Your brother, Thalia and Annabeth went to go get Katie cloths."

"They went shopping without me?" I yelled.

"You like to shop that much?" She cocked an eyebrow at me.

"No but I'm bored out of my mind!" She laughed.

"Well, we just wanted to stop by, we were actually going to find the boys... make sure they aren't freaking out guests..." The two stood and left. I turned back to my magazine.

I could just see it, Nico summoning dead people and having them jump up to the windows and freak out passengers. And Nick could summon lightning to light the faces up just right... This could be bad.

I had finished my magazine and was just looking at pictures when the door opened to reveal Percy.

"Hey."

"Hey." I closed my magazine.

"Where's Romeo?" He joked.

"He went with Nico to the dining car. Apparently there is some all you can eat thing..." I rolled my eyes and he laughed, "Did you get Kate her cloths?"

"Yeah, but that wasn't the real reason we left." I said. He told me how he went to dad's. I could've gotten more of my cloths and stuff!

I jumped up, pillow in hand and starting hitting him with it.

"First you went shopping without me! Then you went to dad's palace without me! And then you told him about Nick and me!" I made sure to accent each sentence with a blow.

"Calm down!" He was attempting to shield himself, it wasn't working too great, but it was blocking most headshots, "Stop! He approves! He approves!"

"What!" I froze mid swing.

So Aphrodite was having fun was she? Ugh. She likes to make my life difficult, doesn't she?

"Now I came in here to make it up to you. If you want, the AC is still messed up, we can go to the bay and mess around with the water."

"Can we go shopping too?"

"We may only be able to do one or the other..." He said, not wanting to upset me again.

"Fine. Water it is."

We came back an hour later and the train went on. Nothing else really happened in the seven or so hours that we were on the train. We got to the Orlando station in exactly seven hours, twenty-six minutes according to Annabeth. And there was a surprise waiting for us on the platform.

PPOV:

We were just about to stop, we were all standing in the hallway, trying to figure out how to handle luggage. I had Katie clinging to my arm, for some reason she refused to go to anyone else. I caught smirks being exchanged by the girls, but I had no idea what the meant.

"Okay. So, I got Katie. Nico, Nick, can you handle the bags?" I asked.

"I'll take one." Clarisse said, taking one from Nico, so they all had one.

We walked to the door and waited for the train to stop.

"We need to get cabs to the Grand Floridian..." Annabeth read off of a piece of paper that was in the folder Chiron gave us. "We have one room, but it's a suite... we'll worry about that later. Anyway, we are probably going to need two cabs?" She asked, looking at me. I nodded.

"Okay, so it'll be Percy, me, Clarisse and Nick, and in the second, it'll be Thalia, Nico, Katerina and Katie. That'll keep everyone safe, right?" I thought about it, we had lightning, wits, water and brawn, and they had Death, Lightning, Water, and crazy attacking power from a nine year old... We were pretty well off, so I nodded at her.

"We are now stopping at Orlando, Florida." A voice said over the speakers. I grabbed onto the handle bar and gripped Katie's hand tighter. I had learned the hard way that if you think it is difficult to navigate while the train is moving, if you are standing and the train stops; it isn't going to be pretty.

The train stopped with a jerk and Annabeth and Katie both bumped into me and I almost hit Thalia, but she was in a mood so I did everything in my power not to. The doors opened. Annabeth, Katie and I got off first. We helped the others get the luggage down; well Annabeth did since I had a nine-year-old hanging onto my arm like her life depended on it.

It took only a couple minutes for us all to be off of the train. We moved over to a bench, where Katie sat down. I was in the middle of a conversation with Thalia when I noticed Katie was looking away from all of us and I followed her gaze. There was a woman and she was staring right at us with a small warm smile on her face. She had a sort of glow around her. She had long black hair and bright sea green eyes. She looked almost like a daughter of Poseidon, but she couldn't be because she was obviously passed sixteen. I would say she was in her late twenties. She was wearing a simple yellow sundress and white gladiator sandals.

Annabeth followed my gaze and she gasped. "It can't be." She said, more to herself than to anyone else.

The woman's smile grew. She started to walk towards us.

"Hello." She said upon reaching us.

"Hello." I responded.

"I am assuming you are Percy Jackson." I wasn't sure how to answer, "Don't worry. Your father sent me. You must be Katerina. I haven't seen you since you were a little toddler. And you must be Nikolas, Zeus's son. And Thalia, Zeus's daughter. Athena's Annabeth and Nico Hades's son, I am very sorry for the loss of your sister, I know its a bit late, but I thought I should say something, and you my sweet, must be Demeter's little Katie." She picked Katie up. Katie just hung onto the woman like a small child would there mother. "And I'm sorry you are?" She asked Clarisse.

"Clarisse I'm the daughter of Ares." The woman knew all of us; why not let her know one more?

"Oh yes. The one who slayed that beast my husband set upon you all." The woman said, her nose crinkling in disgust at the word husband.

"You're Rhea. The Titan Queen." Annabeth stated.

"Why yes I am. I'm so sorry I was unable to aid you in your battle the other day, I was doing my best to hold them back from the backgrounds." My jaw dropped. This is Rhea. This is the Titan Queen. "Percy, dear, you look surprised."

"I am. It's just you and your husband..."

"Humph. I have always hated Kronos, which is why I aided the Gods, my children, in destroying him, twice." She had a look of disgust on her face.

"Thank you?" Thalia responded with. Rhea's face turned back into one that radiated kindness.

"Why don't we all go to that little diner across the street, my treat. There are a couple people there I would like you to meet there." Looked at Annabeth. She shrugged.

"Okay." I responded.

"Wonderful!" Katie leaned out of the Rhea's hands towards me. I took her from my grandmother.

The others followed her into the diner, but Annabeth and me lagged behind a bit.

"What do you think?" I asked.

"I think she is nice." Katie said.

"According to Chiron, she was always honest and loving, especially when it came to her children. I'm hoping that applies with her grand children..." Annabeth said. I placed Katie on the ground, and took her hand. I wrapped an arm around Annabeth's waist and we walked into the one-room dinner. The sight we saw shocked us.

Our friends were spread out, taking up three booths, but it didn't matter since the diner was deserted. Rhea was sitting next to another woman, one who had brown hair and green eyes. She glanced at us and smiled. She looked a lot like Demeter, and dressed similar too, with all of the earthy tones she was wearing.

"Percy, Annabeth! We were wondering what kept you! I would like for you to meet your great-grandmother, my mother, Gaia. She did a lot of what Demeter does, well, there work is similar to say the least..." Rhea said when we reached her.

I went to bow to her, as is respectful to do, "If you bow to me, you will be in so much trouble young man." She sounded like a mother for sure. I quickly straightened.

"Oh. And here is someone else you already know..." Rhea said, her eyes looking over my shoulder. Annabeth and I both turned.

"YOU ARE DEAD!" Thalia yelled. She leapt out of her seat and went to attack the man.

"THALIA DON'T! HE'S GOOD!" Annabeth yelled. She followed Thalia. Annabeth tried to pry Thalia off, "TELL HER!"

"Thalia." The man grabbed Thalia's shoulders. And held her at arms length. Thalia still tried to get at him, but he was stronger, and she really wasn't thinking it threw, just swinging and kicking blindly, "I promise you. I will not hurt you. I will not betray you again." Even I could sense the truth in this statement. Thalia collapsed on him, throwing her arms around his neck. She buried her face in his shoulder. He glanced at Nico before he wrapped his arms around her. Annabeth ran to them and he allowed her into the hug as well.

I glanced over at Nico, he didn't look too happy. But then I saw someone who would definitely make him happy. She was sneaking up on him. She put her hands over his eyes and said, "Guess who."

Nico froze. Then turned and pulled the girl into a tight hug. She still looked exactly like she had before her death, but without the Artemis-ness. Her dark brown hair was down and her black eyes were filled with tears of joy.

"How are you back?" Nico asked looking down at the girl, who he had grown taller than.

"I sort of hitch-hiked with a friend." She said. I smiled. There were happy reunions all around.

A.N. First off, who are the 'mystery people'? If you don't know, that's kind of sad. Anyway, the story isn't over yet...but this is my way of bringing two new characters into play... Review! Let me know what you think!
