A/N: I'll have to start publishing every other week because of school. Sorry!

After we arrived, the talk went something like this: 

The ones at Camp Jupiter asking questions. 

Us giving answers. 

Leo making stupid jokes. 

Me asking stupid questions. 

The others correcting me. 

Then came lunch time. I had asked for blue cookies. They gave them to me. 

"Are you going to eat anything else?" asked Mary. 

"NOPE!!!" 

"But you should, as part of a balanced diet." 

"BUT BLUE COOKIES ARE PART OF THE MOST BALANCED DIET EVER!!!" I argued. 

Mary sighed. 

"How does Annabeth do it?" she asked. 

Piper and Hazel shrugged their shoulders in agreement. A thunderclap and bright flash interrupted our arguing. 

A group of teens dropped right on top of Leo. they crashed into the floor. I heard Leo grunt. 

"You really need to get the hang of those landings Foster." Complained Keefe. They all grunted, trying to get up, and I saw Annie. Her hair disheveled, her eyes wide from shock. Beautiful. Annabeth ran over to me, and we hugged. Then she slipped away, running to hug Hazel, Piper, Frank, and Calypso. I expected everyone to be shocked that Sophie teleported, but Mary just smirked cockily at her boyfriend, who stared at them in awe. 

Mary stuck out a hand, and Michael begrudgingly gave her two golden coins. Suddenly, a large sheet of gold and rock fell from the ceiling and landed right on Leo. The others gasped. They rushed to get the sheet of him, but for some reason, it was too heavy for them. Mary jumped from her chair on the other side of table and landed right in front of Leo. She lifted the slabs off him with ease and checked him up. 

"He's fine. Mild bruise, nothing water can't fix." 

The ones who had just met Mary were puzzled at her words. 

Mary opened the cap of a horn strapped to her belt. She lifted the water out and spread it out on Leo. In a second Leo was making horrible jokes at their expense. We all waited for the others to get here. Hazel, Piper, and Frank were talking with Annabeth, filling her in on what happed when she was at Camp Half-Blood. Calypso was checking on Leo, and Sophie and her gang were talking in their language about what happened. I saw Keefe making jokes that made Sophie's cheeks heat up in protest. Ahhhhh, young love. Mary was discussing things in hushed tones on the side with Michael, their discussion pretty heated. 

in an attempt to lighten the mood, I chose to talk. 

"Hey love birds. What yah talking about?" Me and Leo called to Mary and Michael. Sophie and her gang looked at me worried. Michael was just shocked and as red as a tomato. Annabeth looked at me warily, Frank, Hazel, and Piper did as well. I was puzzled. Then I looked at Mary's face. She looked like Thalia when Me and Leo called her Pinecone face. Like she was going to kill us. But even worse, she was more powerful than all of us demigods combined. She could literally make us kill ourselves with a flick of her finger. Mary narrowed her eyes at me and Leo. 

"What did you just say?" asked Mary. Taking out her double- headed ax. 

"Nothing!" I squeaked. I wish I was that smart. Of course, I wasn't.

" We said that you were having a pretty heated discussion with your friend, so I was wondering if you wanted to share with us" I said, making sure to emphasize the friend part. 

One glare from Mary and the sound of her sharpening her ax with a stone was enough to shut me up. We raised our hands up above our heads. I whimpered. 

"Ok! Ok! Sorry!" We both yelled. 

"Ok! I love that girl!" Yelled Annabeth. She walked over to Mary, putting her arm around Mary's shoulder. She whispered something in Mary's ear that made her face light up and smirk at me menacingly. 

"Should it be safe to have them two working together?" Piper asked. 

"NOPE! EVACUATE THE WORLD EMMIEDATALLY!" Yelled Michael, running around the room. 

Another bright flash, and Will Solace, Fitz Vacker, Wylie Endal, and Nico Di Angelo appeared. Will looking very happy, and Nico looking like he was out for blood. Nico ran out of reach from the three and went behind Hazel. 

"I will NEVER, I repeat, NEVER TRAVEL LIKE THAT AGAIN!!!" exclaimed Nico. 

Will looked offended. Then he seemed to remember that this was Nico, and light leaping did not fit his personality. Will was holding a slab of steel in his arms, along with Fitz. But seriously? What kind of name was Fitz? His crisp accent came out. 

"I am greatly offended that you would think so." Apparently, he didn't get that Nico didn't care. Nico turned to me," Hey" he said. 


"Hi" I should have focused on the task at hand, which was gathering the materials and focusing on the how to make the sword. Mary and Leo were talking about the mechanics, and Annabeth had brought out the book, to explain. While the others were sitting around, not focusing much because of ADHD or Dyslexia, which they all had, except Frank. But all I could think about was my complicated, (to say the least), relationship with Nico. 

"Why aren't I your type?" I asked, stupidly. 

"Because you are not" grumbled Nico. 

"But I am every one's type!"

"Nope." argued Nico. The others watched warily. 

"I'll ask someone then" I said. then I turned to Mary, who looked quite puzzled with what I was saying. 

"Mary? Am I your type?" I asked, sure to be proven right. But I did notice that Michael shot me a death glare. Sheesh, jealous much?

Mary laughed. "You wouldn't be my type if you were the last being on earth." She said matter -of- factly. 

I was stunned. 

She turned back to the sword, and the rest of the team went back to the pages. Michael gestured towards me to go outside. His message was clear, we need to talk.

He went outside and I discreetly followed. 

"That was interesting" he grumbled. He turned to me. He was a full head taller than me. His glare deep and serious. His resting face very much more intimidating than anything I could muster. But definitely not like Mary and Annabeth's though. Those could glare up a storm in two seconds flat. 

"What were you thinking?" he asked me. 

"I was just asking a simple question." 

"Don't ever talk to Mary like that again, do yah hear me?" 

I gasped. I never though such a good person would talk about a girl in that way. Never! 

Michael seemed to realize what he said. He paled. 

"Never, I mean, Never, tell Mary what I just said, or she would kill everyone." 

I was puzzled at his words. 

I didn't have time to mull it over, because Mary rushed over to us. 

"Come on! we found a way to build the sword!" she said breathlessly. She looked at our warry expressions. 

"Well?"  

"Ok!"

She turned back and entered into the room. 

"Ok! Let's build this thing!" I spoke. Michael shot me a look, and we walked into the room.
