Annabeth's Pov

"Awwwwwwwwww!" I screech. "We embarrassed them!" I look back and see that both Brook and Nico are bright red with embarrassment.

"Yeah we did!" Percy says high fiving me. "Oh! And we are here!"

As we get out of the car I can't help but look over at Nico and see that he is looking at Brook the way I used to look at Percy. He has a crush on Brook, no doubt. Then I look at Brook and I can tell she is thinking the same thing as Nico. They like each other! We walk up to the counter and Nico orders.

"Can I have a cheeseburger and a Coke please?" He asks the cashier.

"Sure. Your number 23." She replies.

"Hey how about we get some food and eat dinner here?" Percy asks.

"Ok." I reply.

Percy orders for us. "We'll take 4 cheeseburgers, 2 orders of onion rings, 2 orders of large fries, 1 order of chili cheese fries and 1 ceasar salad."

"Anything else the lady at the counter asks.

"Ummm… 1 Coke, 1 Sprite, 1 Fanta and uh Brook what do you like to drink?" He says turning to Brook.

"Coke please."

"Ok and your number 24." She says while handing us our numbers. (B/N I have never been to McDonald's so I'm are not sure if this is how it works there.)

We take a both in the back corner. I specifically sit next to Percy so Brook and Nico have to sit next to each other. Brook sits next to the window and Percy is across from her.

"You ok Brook?" Nico asks. Then I realized that she is staring at her burger, looking like she is about to cry.

"I-I'm fine." She mumbles.

"Brook, I know you're lying. Please, you can tell us what's up."

Brook's POV

"Its really nothing" I say halfheartedly. And before I know it tears are rolling down my cheeks. STUPID EYES ALWAYS GIVING ME AWAY!

"Brook… Please", says Percy. "You know you can talk to us."

"It-it's just the last time I was at McDonald's I was with my mom and it was 3 days before she died and…"

"What happened?"

"My mother, she was a lifeguard. We lived in Miami. And one day I went to work with her. At around 2ish there was a loud scream and then we all saw it, a large fin. I don't know how I knew this at the time but I knew it was a great white shark. Anyway, the shark was chasing after this kid on a surfboard around the age 15. My mom she knew she had to save him so she turned to me and said "I will be back soon, my little star fish. I have to go help that boy ok?" Even though I was ten I know what that meant so I tried to stop her and said, "But mommy, the shark will hurt you. Please don't go!" Then she said something I didn't understand until now, "Your father will protect me." and she ran off to go help the boy. She jumped into the water and that got the sharks attention. It started to follow after her in anger and next thing I knew it was attacking her. It bit her left leg clean off. The other lifeguards pulled her out. I ran over to her and hugged her and cried and in her final breath she said this to me, "Be brave my little starfish, I love you." and with that she died in my arms." By the time I finished my story I couldn't keep in the tears, they were just streaming down my cheeks.

"Come'er." Nico said to me and opened his arms wide. I wasted no time crawling into them. I leaned my head on his shoulder and cried.

"Brook, I don't mean to pry," Annabeth started. "But that was 3 years ago. What happened between now and then?"

I got a little annoyed at the question but she deserves to know so I answered. "When I was about 8 my mom told me that if anything ever happened to her then I should go to my neighbors. She said they would help me. After the accident I ran, I ran all the way to my neighbors. I told them the whole story. The mother, Calypso looked horrified, her husband Leo looked at me with pity and their 5 year old daughter Emma started to cry. They took care of me until I was 12 and then they told me to come here."

They all looked dumbfounded.

"What were your neighbors last name?" Percy finally asks breaking the silence.

"Ummmm. Valdez, why?"

"OH MY GODS." They all say in unison.

"Oh! I almost forgot! Leo told me to I get to camp to give you this." I say as I hand them the note. Annabeth takes it and starts to read it out loud.

"Hey guys….
