~Dan's POV~

If Athena was the goddess of battle strategy, then Dan knew that Annabeth's plan would be awesome. And it was, but Dan didn't get to do anything but sit in the lobby of the Empire State Building, and wait, which stunk. He wanted to be part of the action! But of course, when he complained, Annabeth gave him this whole lecture about how the plan could backfire if he wouldn't sit still, blah blah blah. Why did she have to be so much like Amy?

Then, just to make her shut up, he – reluctantly – agreed to the plan.

So, there he was, in the lobby of the Empire State Building with his group, the Egyptians, and the Romans, while waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

Dan decided to break the ice.

"So," he began. "Do you guys want to play a game?"

"Like what?" Natalie mumbled while inspecting her nails. Yet, she looked just as bored as he was.

"Since I'm feeling especially evil today," Sadie said. "How about Truth or Dare?"

"Yes," Dan said. "I'll go first."

Dan scanned the room for his first victim. "Carter, truth or dare?"

Mt. Olympus

~Annabeth's POV~

Annabeth stood in front of the doors of the council where Zeus awaited them.

Percy, Leo, Piper, and Nico were at her side. They reviewed the plan one more time before walking inside.

"Good luck, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth said to Percy.

"Same to you," he responded.

Annabeth put on her invisible Yankees cap and disappeared.

They walked into the building. Since Annabeth was invisible, she was able to run beside Poseidon's throne undetected. It was a good spot because his throne was right next to Zeus' throne.

And there it was – Zeus' Master Bolt sitting in a quiver next to the king of the gods' throne.

"Where are Annabeth and Thalia?" Zeus' voice boomed.

Please remember what to say, Annabeth thought. Please remember what to say…

"We ran into some monsters a block down," Nico lied. "Annabeth and Thalia told us to go ahead while they fought them."

Zeus nodded as if he understood.

"So, what did you call us here, Lord Zeus?" Percy asked.

Zeus got up and the room darkened. A screen appeared in the middle of the hall, as he started to walk towards the others, while leaving his Master Bolt next to his throne.

Zeus started talking about how Porphyrion was alive and that he was causing major destruction. The screen showed little video clips and pictures of Porphyrion's damage.

Zeus finally said, "And I want you four – plus Annabeth and Thalia – to go on a quest to find Porphyrion's hideout."

"Done," Leo said.

"Anything else, Lord Zeus?" Piper asked.

That was the signal. Annabeth quietly ran up to Zeus' throne, grabbed it, and it shrunk down in size in her hand. She stuffed the bolt in her hand. She stuffed the bolt in her backpack and ran towards the entrance. Annabeth was invisible (A/N: Just wanted to remind you…) so she didn't have anything to worry about.

"Not, that is all," Zeus, said. "You are dismissed."

Annabeth walked out the entrance. Percy casually knocked on the wall three times, as the door closed behind him. That was the signal to ask her if she was outside with them. She knocked three times back. They waited until they reached the city on Mt. Olympus for Annabeth to take off her hat.

She took it off, and Nico asked her, "Do you have it?"

Annabeth nodded and patted her backpack. They took the elevator, and when it opened up to the main lobby, the first thing she heard was Dan's voice saying, "Carter, truth or dare?"

~Sadie's POV~

Of course. Those Greeks decided to ruin all the fun now, did they? Just as Dan was about to ask Carter: Truth or dare, Percy and his group just had to walk in. Carter looked pretty relieved that he didn't have to answer Dan's question though.

"Are you guys playing Truth or Dare?" Piper asked.

"At least we were until you guys came," Dan sounded pretty upset that he didn't get to "Truth or Dare" Carter.

"Do you guys have the Master Bolt? I don't see it," Ian said.

"Yeah," Annabeth said, "Right here in my backpack."

"How can it fit in there?" Amy asked.

"It can shrink down in size," Percy shrugged.

"Okay, then." Nico said. "Let's get out of here before Zeus notices that the most powerful weapon on Earth that happens to be his is missing. Again."

Author's Note: Sorry that this chapter was short. Sorry that Sadie's POV was short too.
