Jason walked toward his room, absolutly exhausted. He needed a serious nap. Then he could be all brave and save the world and all that stuff.

He was fantasising about his soft, warm bed when he stopped in front of Percy's room. There were voices inside. It was Frank and....Piper? What was she doing in Percy's room with Frank?

There probably just talking about the quest he thought But just in case....

He leaned against the closed door and tried to catch what they were saying.

Your eavsdropping a voice in his head said. He ignored it. If his GIRLFRIEND was in a room with another guy, then he, the BOYFRIEND, should be able to listen to them. It was like rule 30 in the big book of boyfriend rules. Gods.

He turned back to the conversation between Piper and Frank. Frank mumbled something and Piper laughed. She started to respond- something about Annabeth- when she suddenly stopped. A chill went up Jason's spine. Something was wrong.

Jason's hand went to his side but his sword wasnt there. It was still in his room. He cursed and got into a croutch sort of position. He was about to enter the room in a cool ninja/roman way when Piper screamed.

"Piper!" Jason yelled, running into the room, with no weapons.But even though he hadn't been all ninja he was still ready to fight. But when he took in his surrondings he just.....kinda stood there.

Not exactly heroic but whatever.

Frank was talking to a cyclops that was wearing.... a Camp Half-Blood T-shirt? Yes he definitly was. And his teeth were covered with something brown-peanut butter. (Why not? It was better then demigod right?) Ever since Jason Leo and Piper had landed in that warehouse, he'd seen cyclopses as enimies. But this one was different. He seemed kind, almost childish. Jason thought he had seen him before but he couldnt place it.

On top of the cyclposes head was a chicken lady or harpy or whatever it was called. She was shivering and rambiling off facts about toasters. He had definitly seen this harpy too but once again he couldnt place it. He really hoped he wasnt losing his memory again. That was annoying.

"Jason!" Piper said.

Jason tour his eyes away from the toaster talking bird and looked at Piper. She was lying on her back with a hellhound on top of her, screaming. No wait, not screaming but laughing. And the hellhound was biting- no no licking- Piper's face.

"Was up?" she said between giggles.

"Ok hold up," Jason said holdng up her hands. "What is going on? Why is there a cyclopes with a Camp Half-Blood shirt, a harpy talking about ovens-"

"Toasters actually" Frank corrected.

"Ok toasters" Jason continued. "And why is Piper being attacked by a hellhound?"

"Played with actually" Piper said.

"Whatever!" Jason complained "And final question: Why are we in Percy's room?"

Piper stood up, wiping away giant dog slober. "Calm down Jason. These are our friends."

The cyclopses eye filled with joy, "Friend!" He charged Jason with open arms.

Before Jason could jump out of the way, he was crushed by a giant hug.

"Cant...breath" Jason managed as all the air was taken out of him.

The cyclops put him down with a laugh, "Sorry friend."

Jason rubbed his stomach and gave Piper a look that he hoped said um why did he just do that to me it really really hurt!

She gave him a little smile. " Jason meet Tyson. Percy's uh half brother. Long story. Anyway, this is Ella a harpy obviously and Mrs. O'Leary, Percy's pet. They were there the night we arrived at Camp Jupiter."

Jason nodded, remembering. Percy and Annabeth were reunited, Leo was taken over by an evil spirit, and he was knocked out by a brick. Good times.

He looked at Tyson. "So your Percy's half-brother?"

"Yep" he said.

"Do you give him hugs all the time?"

"Yep its fun."

That explains why Percy always slouches.

Frank cleared his throat. "As for how they got here, Mrs. O'Leary shadow traveled."

"The thing Nico does?" Jason asked.

"Yeah it its."

Jason turned around. "Nico, um hi,"

"Hi," he said.

Jason tried to hide it, but the kid seriously freaked him out. He was a son of Hades who could raise the dead without breaking a sweat. Dont blame Jason if he didn't invite Nico to his next birthday party.

"How are you feeling?" Piper said breaking the silence.

Nico walked, more hobbled, ove to Mrs. O'Leary and patted her behind the ears. "Honestly, I'm not totally sure. I'm extremly weak and not able to sleep because of the nightmares. For once in my life, I think I'm scared of the dark. When I close my eyes, I'm back in Tartarus. I dont think the images of whats down there will ever leave my mind. Theyre to real. I'm...I'm terrified'

He said the last part in a whisper which made it even more eerie. It was quit except for the small voice of Ella(who was currently describing the word terrified)

Jason was surprised. He could tell Nico was scared, but he didn't expect the Son of Hades to admit it.

"Anyway," Nico said, anxious to change the subject. "I came down here looking for my sister. Do you know where she is?"

Frank glared at the floor. "She went to go talk with Leo."

"Ok I'll go check the engine room." Nico started to walk to the door, but stumbled. Before he could fall Jason caught him.

"Maybe you should rest," Jason suggested."You can crash on...on Annabeth's bed for now."

Nico's eyes filled with tears, but he quickly wiped them away. He nodded and walked across the hall to Annabeth's room.

"Oooo!" Tyson said. "Is Annabeth here? I want to give her hugs!"

The three demigods faces fell. This was the moment they were all dreading. Telling the truth.

Jason shifted from foot to foot. "Well, um, Percy and Annabeth arent here actually. They're-"

"On a date!" Piper interjected. "And they wont be back for a while."

"Oh," Tyson said. "I miss my brother. And Annabeth is pretty. But they are ok?"

"Yeah," Frank said. "They're great."

Tyson nodded like the news pleased him. "Good."

Ella yawned from the top of Tyson's head. She flew down to Frank's shoulder and said "Ella sleep now."

And true to her word, Ella slept.

Frank sighed and gently put her down on Perc'y bed. Jason wondered if other harpies found Frank's shoulder comphy too. Hmm.

"So, Tyson," Piper said. "Why are you,uh,here exactly?"

Tyoson's face darkened. "Oh. Well Mr. Pony Man-"

"Chiron?" Piper suggested.

"Uh huh. Mr. Pony Chiron Man has bad news."

They waited for him to continue, but Tyson seemed to be in his own world. He started humming a song that sounded like Row Row Row Your Boat and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star combined.

"Which is...?" Piper encouraged.

"Which is what?" Tyson asked, clearly lost.

"Whats the bad news?" Piper said.

"Theres bad news! OH NO!"

Tyson jumped up and started running around Percy's room like a bull at a rodeo. He screamed "Oh No!" and knocked over several things, including Jason.

"Tyson STOP!" Piper said, using all of her charmspeak.

Tyson stopped.

"Ok," Piper said, talking slowly so that Tyson wouldn't go all crazy scared ninja again. " You said that Chiron had bad news. What is it?"

The cyclops stared for a second, trying to process the words that had just filled his large ears. Then, there was a lightbulb.

"Oh yes! I remember now! Mr. Pony Chiron Man says were going to be attacked!"

Piper gasped.

"Oh no," Frank said.

"Reyna," Jason said, standing up."We need to help them."

"But how?" Frank said. "We have to do our quest still."

Piper touched Jason's arm. "We should iris message them. See if theres anything we can do."

Jason nodded. "Tyson why don't you Ella and Mrs. O'Leary go back and help get Camp set up for the attack."

"Yes sir!" Tyson said. He picked up Ella and hopped on the hellhounds back. "TO CAMP HALF-BLOOD!"

Mrs. O'Leary barked and leaped into  a shadow. They were gone.

"Ok," Jason said, facing his two friends. "I have a few coins in my room that we can use. Come on."

A few minutes later, the three demigods were all standing in front of the bathroom sink. Piper turned on the water and soon they had a miniutare rainbow. "Oh Iris accept my offering. Show me Chiron at Camp Half-Blood."

The image rippled until they were looking at the head of a centaur.

"Jason? Piper? Oh How are you?How is the quest?"

"Well thats what we wanted to talk about actually." Jason said.

"Is Percy available? I havent seen him in along time." Chiron remarked.

"Chiron, Percy and Annabeth are gone." Jason said, struggiling to get the last part out.

"What do you mean by gone?" Chiron said, worry filling his eyes.

"I mean...Percy and Annabeth fell into...into Tartarus." Jason told Chiron about Annabeth's quest and how because of a dumb statue, the had lost two friends.

"I see," Chiron said. "Do you have anyway to communicate with them?"

Piper nodded. "Sort of. My dagger should be able to show us images of them."

"Keep that with you at all times. It may be the only way to save Percy and Annabeth. Now I must go but dont worry about Camp. I want all you energy to go into your quest. Do you understand?"

"Chiron-" Piper started.

"Do you understand?"

Piper nodded."Yes."

Chiron swiped away the image, and the connection was broken. Piper sobbed into Jason's chest.

"Come on guys," he said. "Let's go and finish this stupid quest."
