CHAPTER FOURTEEN

We make a TV show called 'Go around and around the cabin'

Percy said, ''If it's ok with Chiron, its ok with me."

Chiron said, "Of course you can."

I said excited, "Yes."

Chiron said, "Please try not to destroy anything."

I said, "Sure."

Percy said, "Well, let's go."

We both ran leaving all of them in front of the big house. I think Chiron was about to say something but we already left.

I even forgot that Anabeth was talking with Sky, and Chiron was discussing something with Carlos. We were already half way across camp heading toward the lake.

When we got there, lots of kids where in canoes, somewhere in jet skis and others where swimming.

Percy said, ''We better be careful not to hurt anyone.''

I said, ''Yeah, really careful.''

Percy took out a pen, from his pocket and uncapped it. A sword was appearing out of the ball point of the pen, making itself bigger, and bigger.

I said, ''That was awesome!''

Percy said, "This is Anaklusmos, in English this is riptide. Chiron gave it to me as a gift from dad."

I said, ''That is so cool, when do I get a sword?''

Percy said, ''We could got to the armory and get you one.''

I replied enthusiastically, "Great!'' I felt like a 5 year old in Christmas morning.

We started walking toward the armory, even if I had no idea where it was. I'm hoping that Percy knows where it is.

While we were walking, Percy was telling me the story of how he and the others defeated Kronos and how Luke sacrificed himself to safe Olympus. I was asking him each time he was going that he and Annabeth were together almost going to die parts, I said each time, ''Did you kiss her?'', Percy replied ''No'', and then the next time I say, ''Did you kiss her already or is it going to be a really long time?" He laughed after this one, and then he said ''Yeah, it's going to take a very long time."

I think he was keeping some secrets from me, because sometimes he started to stutter and then jump to something else. Like the time he blew up Mt St. Helens and then he reached a floating island with a lonely girl called Calypso, he said he got to know why she was there and then he muttered something, but he jumped to how he came back to earth. I just think he might have liked her, he said she was pretty.

But later he said that Leo Valdez, a Hephaestus camper, fell in love with calypso and he swore to go back to the island, and he did go back. He found a way in using one of the crystals he got from one of the caves in the island, and he used a blueprint of a weird telescope that needed a crystal in the top and it was missing. And something about a big flying Greek ship named Festus.

Anyway, I still have no idea where we were going, and I'm not sure Percy knows where we are going either, we passed the same cabin like 5 times. I wonder if he already found out we are going in circles.

Percy said, ''Wait a second...Haven't we passed this cabin before?''

I said, ''Yeah, like five times!''

Percy said, ''Well, why do we keep waking by it?"

I said, ''I don't know, I thought you knew where the armory is?''

Then Percy said, ''I don't remember where the armory is, I thought you knew."

I said, "I'm totally new to all of this, remember?"

I can't believe we are lost, I really thought that Percy knew where we were going. And he was thinking that I knew where it was. We both sighed at the same time. Well, we kept walking a bit until we found out that Annabeth and Sky were sitting on a bench watching me and Percy go around in circles, they were laughing and videotaping us.

Percy said, ''So you girls knew we were walking in circles, around this cabin and just sat there videotaping us instead of telling us where we should go?''

Annabeth and Sky said at the same time, ''Yeah!'' They just kept laughing at us.

I guess we did look like clowns. I even bet they think of us as idiots, but I can't comment on that. I think my school grades were really bad this year and I might have failed the finals, now you know why I can't say I'm intelligent.

In my head I said, "Hey, Percy."

Percy replied, "Yeah?"

I said, "Do you think it might rain?" I winked.

Anabeth said, "Where were you guys going?"

Percy looked around and nodded as understanding my question. We both saw that behind Anabeth and Sky, were some campers cleaning a room with mops and brooms. There were buckets of water, and we were thinking really fast.

Percy said, scratching his head, "Yeah, we were looking for the armory; I kind of forgot where it was."

Sky said, "Oh, that's just passing the arena, toward the stables." Pointing to a direction.

Percy remembered, "Oh, you're right, now I remember, let's go."

I nodded.

Percy and I used the water in the buckets and soaked Anabeth, and Sky. We knew we were in trouble, but we just ran as fast as we could toward the armory. The only thing slowing us down was our laughter, I couldn't hold it, and neither could Percy.

I could hear Anabeth and Sky screaming, they were close. But in a bit their screams came down to an end.

Percy looked back and said, "Hey we lost them!"

We both laughed at the same time and did a high five. At the end of the high five we hit a wall of celestial bronze metal, pushing us back and making us fall back on our heads. We both replied in noises of pain and agony.

When I looked up I saw Anabeth holding a shield and Sky helping her hold it, I think they were making a double team effort.
