Frank's hands were shaking as he stood on deck, waiting for Nico and Hazel to arrive. Piper and Jason stood a few feet away whispering about something; Hedge was munching on some celery; Leo was patting down his hair as it burst into flames every few seconds. Everyone was clearly nervous.

Frank decided he should start a conversation so it wasn't so quiet and akward. He turned to Hedge and said, "So, hows it going?"

Hedge gave him the evil eye. "Eh, I've been through worse. Im extremly tough and adventorous you know."

Frank nodded. "Right. Yeah, so uh Leo,"

Leo smacked away the flame on his nose."Yeah?"

"Hows it going?"

"Why do you keep asking that? Dont you know any other words?"

"Well-

"I know a lot of words. Like abracadabra and hocus pocus and supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and sup. And this one word I heard a guy say once when I was at a grocerystore buying bananas: accio.(yes the summoning spell from harry potter)I dont know why he said it but it sounded cool. Say it with me accio. ACcio, acCIO, acciOOOOO, ac-"

"Leo!" Piper said,"Will you shut up?!"

"Sorry," he mumbled. "ACCIO! OK I'm done."

Maybe it was because they were all exhausted and nervouse, or maybe it was because they were dumb demigods flying a ship. Whatever the reason, both Jason, Frank, and Piper started cracking up. Leo joined in too but Hedge just glared at them like they were bugs he wanted to squash. Or eat.

They calmed down just as Hazel and Nico appeared.  "What did we miss?" Hazel asked.

"Ok so-" Jason started.

But Leo slapped his hand before he could continue. "Shut up man! They're gonna show us how to contact them!"

"Oh right. Sorry."

Hazel turned to Nico. "Should I tell them?"

He shook his head. "No, I can. You all know how I can shadow travel? And how Mrs. O'Leary can as well? So if Tartarus is full of shadows-"

"Then we can try to shadow travel to Percy and Annabeth." Piper finished.

Nico nodded. "But it might not work. And if it does, it wont be easy. Who ever goes with Mrs. O'Leary might not come back."

"You're not going?" Frank asked.

"No, I'm still to weak from my first experience. It has to be one of you."
