" does that help? "

Annabeth asked, her, Ella and Grover were all looking for a way to contact Chiron with the god, Iris, " guess, we're about to find out " ella said, " can you see where we are? "

Grover then pecked his head out a window, " we're almost there, " the other tree nod at this, " there i got a signal! " ella said, " toss it, aqualad " Ella tells him, " okay, this will never stop being weird " percy said, " if you want the god's attention you have to pay for it " annabeth explained

" Oh, Iris, goddess of the rainbow please accept my offering, okay show me Camp Half Blood, Chirons office, ", " Luke? " percy asked

" Ella!? Percy!? Are you okay? " Luke asked, " Yeah w-ere fine where's Chiron? " ella asked, Luke them explained how the cabins we're taking sides to prepare for the war

" please tell me your calling with good news, " Luke begged, " we know who stole the bolt! " percy said, " how do you know? " luke asked, " we ran into Ares and Grover got him talkin, and realized Ares knew who the thief was but was covering for them, so who would Ares cover for other than— " Ella explained

" His favorite daughter!! Clarisse is the lighting thief " luke said, " Chirons gotta arrest her, find out what she knows, there's more to this than just the bolt, something bigger " percy said " don't ask me how I know you just gotta trust me "

" Okay, I'm on it " Luke said, " So ares huh? What was that like? ", " hurry up! " Annabeth warned, " Well, compared to Chimera on Monday, and Medusa on Sunday could have been a lot worse " percy told him

" Medusa was Saturday " Ella said, " I thought Sunday? " Percy said, " No monsters on Sunday, Monday you died in the river " Ella explained, " Right, so Medusa on Saturday— " Percy gets cut off, " Guys what is this? " luke asked, " what? " they both ask

" When did you turn into an old married couple? " Luke asked

" N-not to change to subject but I'm gonna, we could use your advice on something we are going to Las Vegas to find your— " Percy gets cut off by Ella ending the connection

" What was that about? " Percy asked clueless, " You can't ask Luke about his dad! " Ella said, " Well, now I certainly can't " Percy sassed, " if you tell her, we're going to see hermes he gonna try to talk us out of it, we don't need that right now. " Annabeth explained

" they don't get along? " percy asked, " at all " both ella and annabeth said, " I got some updates " Grover said, " the men driving this truck are not nice people! Traffickers, "

" We can do our best to help all these animals escape, but not if it means we're jeopardizing the quest " annabeth said, " oh, no, no, no, no they've already got a plan to get themselves out, and us too, i mean some of these guys are so smart! they were really only missing like one piece of the puzzle to get the cages unlocked, " Grover explained

" what's that? " Percy asked, " thumbs " grover replied " but we're here now so.... All good ", " and once the cages are open they have a plan from there? " Annabeth asked, " Yeah, really elegant " Grover replied " These guys they're— they're like artists "

" this seems dangerous "

percy said, " the plan " grover was talking about in the truck was really just the animals going wild, standing in front of cars, and etc, " cause it is " ella replied, " oh! they'll be fine i gave them a satyr blessing! so they'll be able to— " grover gets cut off.

" i mean for the people " percy said, " oh! them well i'm sure they'll— yeah, i don't know but the animals are all set! " grover said, " okay, come on before the cops show up " annabeth said, " so how do we know which hotel is the lotus? " percy asked

" i'm guessing the one that has a big sign saying " Lotus Hotel and Casino " " Ella said, " huh? " the two other demi-gods asked not being able to read as well, " come on " ella said

" woah! "

grover said, " this place is— " grover gets cut off, " amazing! " annabeth said, a worker than came up to us , " welcome to the lotus casino! here's your room key " But— " percy gets cut off by the worker, " No, no " he said laughing " the bills been takin gcare of, just go to the top floor, room 4001, if you need anything just come ask us down here at the lotus desk! " the worker explained

" here are your LotusCash cards, they're used for games, restaurants and etc, " the worker said, he handed us each green plastic credit cards, " how much is on here? " Ella asked observing the card, his eyes knit together " what do you mean? " the worker asked

" She mean, when does it run out of cash " Percy said, The worker laughed " Oh, you two are making a joke! Hey, that's cool, enjoy your stay! " the worker walked away

We took the elevator, and checked our room, it was a suite with four separate bedrooms, a bar stocked with candy, sodas and chips, a hot line to room service, fluffy towels and water beds with feather pillows, a big Yv, with satellite and high speed, Wi-Fi, a hot tub out in balcony,

" Oh, goodness! " Annabeth said " This place is. . . ", " Sweet, absolutely sweet " Grover said, there were clothes in the closet that was able to fit all of us, which was a bit strange, we all took showers, changed our clothes and did whatever really

Ella, Annabeth and Grover were watching National Geographic Channel, " All those channels, and your turn on National Geographic? Are you guys insane? " Percy asked, " It's interesting! " Annabeth said

" i feel so good, I love this place " Grover said, " Okay let's go find Hermes! " Annabeth said, as all of them agreed, they them went downstairs seeing all the cool games, " Remember we are here for Hermes and Hermes only! " Annabeth said

a waiter came up to them offering, sweets in the shape of flowers, they all take one, " thank you " percy said,

They all ate it, " this is amazing! " Ella smiled, " it really is! " Annabeth agreed," We should never leave " Grover said, " don't we have— uhm something to do? " percy said trying to remember something, " why are we here? " he asked himself

" I think I know why we are here! " Ella said, " Why? " Percy asked her, " To have fun! " Ella said, " Yeah!!! " The teens cheered, Annabeth and Grover went they're own games

but Percy and Ella played cards game together, Percy put his last card down to announce he won! " YES! " the two yelled, percy grabbed her face as the two yelled, a waiter than came by offering more flowers, as they accepted

they then went to watch the stage as people danced, " woah! " Ella yelled, " Yes! Your doing amazing " Percy yelled to the dancers,

" No percy, don't eat the flower it dulls the senses, keeps you prisoner here " Poseidon warns Percy in his mind, " hey I think I'm going to get some air, I'll be right back " Percy tells Ella, " okay " Ella said continuing to eat her flower,

some girl then walked up to her, as she started dancing with them, tiktok by Kesha was playing, " Excuse me, Ella, Ella! " Percy said, he then grabbed her hand and pulled her away, he then saw the flower in her hand, " Whoa- what are you doing with that, don't eat it " Percy said

" Percy just relax and have fun!! " Ella said with a smile, almost walking away from him until Percy pulled her back, " We have to go now! " Percy said, " what are you doin! " Ella whined " we are having so much fun! "

Percy then walked up to Annabeth playing her game, and also grabbed her, " Percy! " they both whined, they than saw a spider and Annabeth yelled at it, and woke up from her trance, " what happened? " Annabeth asked, " the flowers they make you never wanna leave " Percy explained,

" Can we go have fun? " Ella asked, " Where's Grover? " Annabeth asked, " We're looking for him " Percy explained, they then saw Grover playing some deer game, " Grover come on we gotta go look for Hermes then get the hell of out here " Percy explained but Grover just pointed the game gun at him like he was a character

Ella laughed a bit at this, Annabeth then took his hand and dragged him," how do we wake them up? " Annabeth asked, " You two, this place is designed to make us never wanna leave! " Percy explained, and they both wake up, " W— " Ella gets cut off, " no time, we have to look for Hermes " Percy said

they then saw Hermes " Hey, demigods welcome! " Hermes said, " We don't have time we need your help to— " Ella gets cut off, " You want my help to sneak into the underworld? " Hermes asked, " Wow, your good " Percy said

Hermes basically tells them no, and tells them it's Thursday, and Ella says that she stole his keys " What? " They all asked, " Picked his pocket " Ella said, " You picked Hermes pocket? " Percy asked, " I'm multi talented " Ella said, " We still have time! Come on all we have to do is find his car! " Annabeth said

" Guys! "

Annabeth called out, " Hermes drives a cab? " Percy asked, " Mhm and he left us a note " Annabeth said, " how do we know it's for us? " Percy asked, she showed the note as it read " to the dumb kids "

" Should've know the god of thieves would've noticed his pockets getting picked " Ella said, back door to the underworld, magic word, map in the glove box, we'll become travelers once we're on the road, the car will take them wherever they want

they then decide Percy will drive, Annabeth sat in the back because she felt like Percy would kill them, Grover also sat in the back because he also didn't trust Percy, and Ella sat in the front

Not even three seconds in Percy crashed, " My fault! That was me! " Percy said " How do you make it go backwards? " he made it go backwards then crashed again

" Your doing great " Grover lied, " maybe aim for the middle? " Ella sassed, " your welcomed to give it a try " Percy told her, " I'm good " she said, he started doing good, so Ella smiled at him and he smiled back but he got so distracted by her that he hit the wall " oh my gosh " Ella said

They then ended up on Santa Monica, " I think I gotta go meet my dad now, " Percy said, " we'll be here when you get back " Grover said, " what do I say to him? " Percy asked, " You'll know " Annabeth said,

he then walked into the ocean

She speaks:
I'm sorry this isn't " show accurate " and I also got a little lazy at the end
