Me- I just finished reading Nevermore . . .

Harry- *puts on football helmet* and . . .

(Note, following rant contains EXTREME SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read at own risk!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Me- *screams* It mde no sense!! I mean, Angel is the voice?  She's seven! And Fang and Max thought they were going to die at a mega-tsumani! That's impossible! They were evolved to breathe underwater for a reason! And throughout the series, I heard sooo many versions of how the world will end. Pollution, radiation, plague, but NOTHING about the sky randomly splitting in two! And Ella! The last I saw of her, she was running off to get wings all possessd and stuff! Now she's all smiley andcheery  out of the blue! And-

Harry- I think that's enough.

Me- NO!! *throws book at Harry*

Harry *rubs head * ow! I'm glad you don't own me! Or these Percy Jackson character!

Me- The only things I own are myself and the plot. Thanks for rubbing it in my face!

Harry- Your welcome! Now start the story before I go deaf!

                     Annabeth

Annabeth already had everything packed and in her room, so she mostly hung out around the ship. She got a lot of strange glances from passerby, though, which made her curious. of course, it could just be Octavian. He didn't seem to like Greeks very much, but Annabeth didn't think that was it,

A boy, probably a child of Hermes by the looks of it, walked by right then and stared in disgust. Annabeth looked down at herself. She thought she looked alright. This shirt was brand new- straight out of the camp shop. She even remembered to brush her hair pretty well this morning.

"Hey, you!" she called. "The boy looked around then pointed to himself. "Yes, you! Could you come over here!" A little hesitant, he walked over.

"Why have people been looking at me like that all day?" Annabeth demanded.

The boy slunk back and started figiting. 'We've never seen a child of Minerva before. She's, like, the virgin goddess. No kids."

"But i'm a brain child." she muttered to herself.

"What?"

"I was born in her brain. Like Athena was."

"Do you have a belly button, then?"

"What the Hades? Of course I have a belly button!" Why does everyone ask her that?

He shrugged. "Just wondering. gotta go to sparring, now." He winked at her then walked away. Annabeth couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She was considering going inside to help the wizards find what they needed on the boat, when she saw Percy run up.

"Annabeth!" She heard him yell at her.

"What is it Percy?"

He gasped for a breath. "I think Piper might be in trouble." Piper in trouble?

"How?"

"Reyna was talking to her yesturday, and said that she was acting different."

I rolled my eyes. "Piper doesn't really like Reyna. You know, with the whole Jason thing. Its probably just that."

"Reyna doesn't lie about things like that. Anyways, I talked to Piper and her eyes were golden. Just like Reyna said!"

"Why would her eyes be golden?"

"I don't know, but you should try to keep a close eye on her." he looked around. "Just wanted to mention that." Then he was off. She shook her head, but ditifully searched for Piper. Not like she had much else to do.

************************************************

"Must . . . destroy . . . Romans . . ." Annabeth swung her head around to see Piper. Piper muttering about destroying Romans whilst carrying a large megaphone. She watched as Piper held it up to her mouth and took a breath before Annabeth realized what she was going to do.

She tackled Piper to the ground before she could utter a word of charmspeak.

"What are you doing!" She shouted, causing quite a few glances.

"My patron demands the Romans destroyed. Must disrupt the peace." Piper mumbled. Was she possesed? She struggled under Annabeth's grip.

"Harry!" she called, hoping for help. "Ron! Hermione! Any Trivia kids?"

A small girl about eight with long red hair ran up to Annabeth. "My mum's Trivia!" She replied cheekly. "You need any magic help? I learned how to control ribbons! My mates and I wrapped the Christmas gifts last year! It was so fun, only we weren't aloud to look inside the gifts. It turned out as sort of a problem, though, because we-"

"Thank you!" Annabeth cut her off. "Do you think you can do that ribbon thing around her?" She pointed to the struggling demigod.

The redhead frowned. "I dunno. Olivia told me to not do it to people anymore because I did it on Bobby this one time and he fell into the baths and started to choke. He was all like 'Gabber!- that's my nickname- I'm so gonna *cough cough splutter* get you! And so I-" all in one breath

"Just this once? She's possesed and I need to stop her from whatever she was gonna do." Annabeth pleaded.

Gabber smiled brightly. "Sure!" She did these crazy hand movements as she spoke. "Abra-kadoodle! Ribbons employ! Quick, quick, go quick, and wrap up this, erm, girl!" She flickd her hand  and Piper was immediantly wrapped up like a birthday gift, complete with a shiny pink bow.

"Wow! That sounded complicated!" Annabeth frowned.

"Its not really. All you really  need to do is concentrate and say 'ribbons employ'" she flicked her wrist again, covering a marble collum with ribbons. "The rest is just for show!"

"Thank you! By the way, I'm Annabeth."

"Gabrielle, but you can call me Gabber. Everyone does. I got really annoyed when they first started, but then me and Candy Floss, my best friend, gave everyone else nicknames, too. Jason was Pikachu, and that Victoria kid was Sonic, and the kid with huge feet was Diddle(this cute European mouse, cartoon thing)-" Annabeth held up a hand, signally for her to stop.

"Thanks again for the help, but I got to go. Have fun! By the way, I think Octavian might need some help having a good time, today." Annabeth smiled to herself as Gabber ran off to find the auger.

Yes! Twice in one week! I hope you liked! Just a note on the Greek/Roman thing; Trivia=Hecate, Victoria=Nike
