Chapter 19 IMY

Percy's POV.

The tent dropped down revealing...

A billboard. A Target billboard. Everyone, but me, looked at Leo like he was crazy. He grinned and pointed to the target.

I looked at Thalia and saw she noticed too. I grinned at her and she smiled back. "Leo, how did you find this?" I asked. "Do you know how this happened?" He shurgged and said, "I just noticed it as we were flying by. No I dont know how it happened. How could I?"

In the middle of the target, bullseye, were about seven or eight silver arrows. Zoe Nightshade.

"Zoe did it." Thalia said, and Annabeth's eyes widen. "When we went to save you and Artemis, Annabeth. The statues carried us by, and she was bored, so she shot each one we passed. I can't believe they're still here."

Annabeth went up and hugged Thalia, since it looked like she was about to cry. I walked back over to Leo.

"Umm, Percy? I've been pulling this billboard behind us since I saw it. I stole a Target billboard. We're almost to camp." My heart leapt. I was almost home. "You might wanna go take a shower, then fish boy." Piper said. I glared at her, then stuck out my tounge, and marched off deck.

I came out of my room, back in a Camp Half-Blood orange t-shirt, feeling better than I have in weeks. I shouted, "I'm clean!" and ran out on deck.

Annabeth and Thalia were leaning over the rail. I joined them, and then saw the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Besides Annabeth of course.

I saw home. The funky asorttment of cabins, the lava wall, the Long Island sound. The Big House, Thalia's Pine. The smell of the strawberry feilds bakeing in the distance. I started bouncing up and down, really excited. Annabeth and Thalia were laughing at me.

We were over the the Long Island sound now. I backed away from the railing, and started running back towards it. Annabeth rolled her eyes, and moved out of my way. I launched myself over the side of the ship, into the ocean. KERSPLASH! I was back in home territory.

I swam towards the beach, and shot myself onto the sand. Now, for my epic entrance into camp. Gotta wait till the Argo 2 lands. I snuck around to my cabin, without anyone noticeing me. I crept through the back door. I heard a dull, thud, and knew the ship landed.

Everyone swarmed the ship as the ramp loward. Everyone came down, included Renya, Octavian, Hazel and Frank.

The campers looked around at each other. One shouted, "Where's Percy, Annabeth?" She glanced at cabin three. I took that as my cue, and walked out the door, like I'd been there all along.

"Hey guys. S'goin' on?" I said, as casually as I could. Everyone turned, and gasped, cheered, and jumped, all at the same time. Suddenly I was bombared with hugs, back pats, and a punch or two. I was finally home.

Chiron and Grover came trotting up, and Grover tackled me in a goat hug.

"Perrrrrrrccyy! I missed you!" Then he slapped my aback the head. It seems like everyone is doing that. "Thats what you get for dissapearing, then telling me that you dont have any spare change."

I laughed, "Good to see you too, G-Man. I want you to meet my friends. Hazel! Frank! Get down here!" They came down, nervously walking through the sea of orange. People moved out of their way.

"Oh sure. You move out of their way. Anytime, I want to get through, you guys make me fight my way through. So nice."I grumbled. Everyone laughed. Annabeth came and stood by my side. A place I never want her to leave.

Frank and Hazel soon joined us. "Guys, this is Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto." Cue gasps from the campers. "And this is Frank Zhang, son of Mars. Frank, I'm sorry to say, Clarisse is your sister." He looked terrified. I chuckled, and whistled for Mrs. O'Leary.

She came bounding up, the camper scrambling out of her way. "Guys, make Hazel, Frank, Renya, and Octavian at home will you? I need to go see my mother." Everyone nodded.

"Don't dissapear on us again, Prissy, you got it?"

I looked over at Clarisse. "Wouldn't dream of it." I climbed onto my dog, and stuck my hand out for Annabeth. She hoisted herself up, and I whispered in Mrs. O'Learys ear,

"Home, girl. Sally Jackson, Upper East Side Manhattan." She gave a loud WOOF and bounded toward my cabin, right before we hit, everything dissolved into shadow.

Shadow Travel always leaves you shivering. I think I left my face back at camp. We emerged right outside my moms apartment building. Annabeth and I hopped off and Mrs. O'Leary started sniffing for hotdogs.

I walkd inside, Annabeth's hand in mine, and nodded to the attendent behind the desk. I didn't recgonize him, but I kept walking anyways. I pressed the up button on the elevator and waited.

I was more nervous about seeing my mom again, then you would have though looking at me. I was drumming my fingers against my thigh. Annabeth noticed my fidgityness, and whispered in my ear, "It's okay Seaweed Brain. Your mom missed you like crazy. Almost as much as I did. You can garrentee Sally will tackle you with a hug."

I smiled gratfully at her as we got into the elevator. I pressed out floor number and it began to climb. I became more and more fidgity, no matter what Annabeth said.

We stepped out of the elevator, and walked to my mom and Paul's door. I took a deep breath, and knocked.

Paul opened the door with his head turned away. He was talking to my mom.

"Let me answer the door, then we can call her okay?" My mom must've answer him somehow, because he turned to look at us.

He froze. I grinned. "Hey Paul. Long time no see."

Paul looked stunned, but he moved back and let us in. Now for freaking out my mother. "Sally? Someone's here to see you." Paul called.

My mother came walking into the room, her cell phone in her hands. She looked up, and dropped her phone.

"Surprise?" I said. She looked like she couldn't move so I walked up to her. I put my hands on her shoulders, and said, "Mom. It's me. I'm really here. I'm sorry the evil cow goddess took me away for eight months. We're gunna go find her and punch her in the face. I am also sorry, that we now have to sail to Rome, right after we got back. Im sorry times a billion."

My mom looked at my for a second, then wrapped her arms around me, and started squeezing the life out of me. I hugged her back just as hard.

There's nothing like a hug from your mom to make geting kidnapped by a goddess, sent on a quest to save the world, again, all seem a little bit better.

"Percy Jackson. When did you get so tall? And who let your hair get that long? I got your message. You really shouldn't have told me you were on a quest. I think you realized that, right after you said it, because you winced. What were you doing in Alaska? You know full well, that your father cannot protect you there. And when you get back from saving the world, you're grounded."

And that is one of the reasons I love my mother. She is grounding me, for something that I had no control over. Yep, I deffinetly missed her.

"I missed you too, Mom." I grinned at her and she returned it. "And now, we go have dinner, so I can spend a little time with you, before we have to go. Onward!"

Mom looked at Annabeth, like, 'Since when does he say 'Onward'? Are you sure you brought the right Percy Jackson?' Annabeth shrugged. I rolled my eyes and walked out the door.

"So here I am asking you for one more chance! Can we fall, one more time! Stop the tape, and rewind!"

Yes, I love One Direction. It is true.

Soooo did ya like it? I found it hard to write this. I mean how do you write it? Its just difficult. I guess we'll have to wait for Rick's version, cuz mine was awful.

Sorry for the sucky chapter. The next one should be a little more interesting.

The arrow thing. I just always wondered if someone found them, and took them down, or if they just stayed there. I decided that someone needed to see them, and reminice. So there.

Camp camp camp camp CAAAMPPP! Oh man. I just realized. Marigold has to sleep in the same cabin as OCTAVIAN! eeewwwwwww. Gross.

Any suggestions as to where Renya should go? I was thinking Athena. What do you think? 1,356 words! Woo!
