I am amazed. I just basicly took nothing and turned it into a 1000 word chapter. But I need IDEAS! I mean, I'm not completely out of ideas, but I need places where Leo and Piper can drive to. I have a few places in mind. Flordia, New Orleans, etc. But I need MORE! Random towns that have some importance to be on a map of a single state. Not super well known, AKA NO CAPITOLS PLEASE! Now, filler chapter! Everyone is back to normal. Piper is agressive again, and Leo is annoying. YAY!

"Dun-Dun-Dun-Ba-BANG-Bang-Bang, Ridin' in a blue Mustang, Down and back to camp I say, Blowin' monsters up and away, Right now in California!" I paused for a second to catch my breath. I was singing a song that I made up about me driving
"Thank gods its over! I was afraid you might die of self-annoience."
"NA, NA, NA, NA! Dun-Dun-Dun-Ba-"
"LEO WILL YOU SHUT UP?" Piper yelled in my ear. That was the 47th time I sang that tune, and the 3rd time Piper yelled at me. Things are back to normal already. It seemed ages ago that she kissed my cheek, when it was only about 3 hours ago. Weird. But I have only been singing in the car for the two hours she has been awake.
"But we are in Nevada now." I told her as we passed the sign, 'Welcome to Nevada! The Silver State!'.
"Oh, well don't sing that song anymore." Piper ordered, as she pulled on some sunglasses from a small purse she had, because we were driving by the light of the setting sun. Now I wish I had some cool sunglasses. But I had a job to do. Not including driving.
"Life is a highway, I want to ride it all night long! If your going my way, I wanna drive it all night long!" I sang in a fake country accent. Sometimes, I really love being me. (I say that all the time!)
"Seriously?"
"Dun-Dun-Dun.."
"Fine, you sing Rascal Flatts."
"Though all these cities and all these towns. In my blood it's all around. I love you now like I loved you then. This is the road, and these are my hands..."
I saw Piper shake her head and smile. I like that smile. I am glad it's back. I put in the CD with the song into the player and we both sang together.
"I'll be there when the light comes in, just tell'em we're survivors..." At the end of the song we were both laughing like crazy.
"What's next?" She asked, clearly hyper. I smiled. This was going to be fun.
"A singer in a smokey room! The smell of wine and cheap perfume! For a smile they can share the night! It goes on and on and on and on"
...
"It's the eye of the tiger; It's the thrill of the fight! Rising up to the challenge of our rival! Stalks his prey in the night! And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger!"
...
"Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive! Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive!"
We were singing classic songs for a couple hours, well mostly me, while Piper laughed at me, but even Piper sang a bit, and she had a great voice. I was glad she was back, even if she yelled at me a lot.I saw all the stars out, as it was mot ver bright on the highway we were on. I saw all the Greek constrellations, and the Cherokee ones Piper taught me. I noticed a sign that said, 'Las Vegas - 30 miles'. I knew the sun would rise pretty soon; it was already pretty light in the horizon, and the police might be after us.
"Hey, Piper, Do you think we should stop and rest in Las Vegas?" I asked her.
"NO!" She said sternly.
"Why not?"
"Annabeth and Percy were there on her first quest; the lair of the lotophagi is there!"
"The loto-fun-what-gi?
Piper gave me a stern look, as if I should know about the loto-whats-its, which I probably should. I did not know that I had to know my Greek Myths by heart if I was a demi god. But she contiued.
"The lotophagi, or lotus-eaters, were a race of humans who lived on lotus blossoms. The lotus blossoms made people really drowsy, and time was quicker, like in most magical places, like in Daedalus' Labyrinth. Percy said he met someone from the 1970s. The lair was on a island off the coast of North Africa, Odysseus ran into them, but now it is a hotel in Las Vegas, The Lotus Hotel and Casino. If a place like that is in Las Vegas, then gods know what is there!"
"Your rant is over?"
"Yes. But your understand?"
"Sí, de adentro hacia afuera y viceversa. Now, we haved to drive though Las Vegas, but we an stop at a different place. Tell me where I can drive."
"We can head north to North Las Vegas, or south to Henderson."
"Which will get us out of Nevada sooner?"
"Henderson, but it is the second biggest city in Nevada, meaning a higher chance of monsters. But I bet we can get out of Nevada and though most of Arizona if we rest for a few hours then get moving again. What time is it again?"
"It's around 6 AM. We have been driving for about 12 hours." I answered. Wow, only now did I realize how tired I was. And I was hungry. Very hungry.
"We'll head to Henderson, Nevada then. I think we are both hoping there is decent food there and monster free."
"Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. Wanna listen to more music?" I said.
"OK, lets listen to something more modern though. I'll see what we have on the radio."
Soon we were singing to Last Friday Night and So Good on 93.1 FM for the county. I was still hoping that things could be better. Even if they were already perfect. Plus, everything is aways perfect with Piper.
My good for nothing chapter is done. Well, its okay. But I am so happy! I have six days of school left, I got more reviews than expected and I got an invitation to join forum! Off topic. But I was going to ask for 84 reviews, but we are already at 82, last time I checked, so can we get to at least 88, or even better, 90. And I would freak out if we get to 100 reviews. So, REVIEW! And now I will rub it in thisiscorinth's face that I got more than 78 reviews. See ya peeps!
