Percy smiled and pointed to the water, I looked over the edge and saw some naiads, "We're heading upstream," Percy told them. "Do you think you could—"

Before he could finish, the naiads each chose a canoe and began pushing us up the river. We started so fast, Grover fell into his canoe with his hooves sticking up in the air.

I looked at the other boat, Bianca was staring at me. I guess she wants to talk with me…She probably wants to know why I called her 'sister'

We sped up the river, the cliffs looming up on either side of us. I sighed and looked in the water as we went upstream, Percy and Grover were talking about something, I didn't bother listening in on what they were saying, I was too tired.

Percy put his hand on my shoulder, "You should get some rest. You deserve it." Grover nodded in agreement. "You saved us, thank you." He said, "You guys are acting as if it never happened, what I did at camp will not be forgiven so easily." I told them.

Percy had that look again, he was mad, "If you don't want us to forget it then…You forget it, we're all friends here, we can forgive each other in an instant over the littlest things, even if it's the biggest fight you had with them too. Look, I'm saying it's not your fault."

Percy sometimes has the weirdest pep-talks, but I guess he's right…I have to forget it, it's all in the past now. I looked up at Percy, "Thanks. And I'm sorry for sending you flying…"

Percy sighed and rubbed his back, "Yeah…That won't be easy to forget." He shivered, "who knew flying in the air uncontrollably could hurt so much…"

Grover laughed, "I think Wyatt knows that more than anyone, considering he's the only one we know that can fly." Percy stared at Grover and narrowed his eyes, "I-

The canoe was slowing down.

I looked ahead, and I saw why.

This was as far as they could take us. The river was blocked. A dam the size of a football stadium stood in our path.

"Hoover Dam," Thalia said. "It's huge."

"This is awesome! I've never been here before." Bianca said excitedly.

We stood at the river's edge, looking up at a curve of concrete that loomed between the cliffs. People were walking along the top of the dam. They were so tiny they looked like fleas.

"Seven hundred feet tall," Percy said. "Built in the 1930s."

"Five million cubic acres of water," Thalia said.

Graver sighed. "Largest construction project in the United States."

Zoe stared at them. "How do you know all that?" She was just as confused as I was. These three shouldn't know about this, because all they think about is fighting, eating, and training.

"Annabeth," Percy said. "She liked architecture."

Ahh…I see, I guess with her always talking about that stuff around them, they would eventually remember them.

"She was nuts about monuments," Thalia said.

"Spouted facts all the time." Grover sniffled. "So annoying."

"I wish she were here," Percy said.

I bit my tongue, "Let…Let's get going." I really didn't need to be reminded of my failures. The others nodded "We should go up there," Percy said. "For her sake. Just to say we've been."

"You are mad," Zoe decided. "But that's where the road is." She pointed to a huge parking garage next to the top of the dam. "And so, sightseeing it is."

A short chapter, more will be up today.
