Chapter one: I meet a satyr in seaworld
There I was. Minding my own business eating jelly beans in the splash zone at a shamu show. It was a typical school field trip and we got to go to seaworld for a day. Even though I go there every weekend! I was sitting next to my friend cat. (her name was cat she wasn't a cat) cat nudged me.
"scout! Check out the new kid... He has been staring at you all day..." she whispered.
I looked over at him. And of course, he was looking at me. "well I am just that attractive!" I laughed. The boy seemed to have a wired limp and was on crutches. I felt kinda bad for him. Suddenly, out of no where a big splash of water sprayed out on the whole class. "whoa! Shamu got us!" I said. The whole class was cheering for more so the teachers quieted them down. Typical 8th grade. I couldn't wait for the show to end so I could swing by the manatee exhibit. I watched as shamu swam and jumped in the air and did a bunch of other dandy stuff. Once the show was over, our teacher gave us an hour to walk around. I headed straight for the manatees. "wanna come cat?" I asked her.
"nah. I'm gonna go ride the kraken!" she walked off with sam, her boyfriend.
I was on my way to the manatee exhibit when I realized I was being followed. I turned around and the boy on crutches was following me. "oh hey there! I didn't know you wanted to come see the manatees to! You can walk by me instead of walk alone! Walking alone is boring!" the boy hobbled over. "I'm scout macline!" I said.
He looked at me. "I'm Herbert leaf. You can call me herb."
"can I call you herbie?" I asked.
"fine." he continued to hobbly along.
As we walked, I told him all about manatees and seaworld and different jelly bean flavors. I told him about how in universal they have booger and barf flavored jelly beans in the world of Harry potter. He made a sick face when I told him that. I just laughed. We arrived at the manatee exhibit and I said hello to all of them. Their names were, Barbara, willy, key, conch, Larry and my favorite, spongebob. Yes I know, a weird name for a manatee! "aren't they amazing!?" I said to herbie.
"very fat but I like all animals! I'm pretty much like, half animal!" he laughed.
I laughed to. "yeah your eyes do have like slits like a goat!" I noticed he was wearing jeans. "how can you be wearing jeans? It's like, 100 degrees in late may!" I said.
"uhh I don't look good in shorts..." he said.
"oh I guess I can't say anything because I look terrible in the color brown so I never wear it unless they are shorts or something!" I wasn't really paying attention for a second but out of no where, something wacked me in the head and I fell forward into the manatee pool. "I should be really freaked out but Im happy to be with manatees!" herbiesface was pale and his eyes were wide. I looked at what he was staring at. It was a seal, with a ferocious Doberman pincher head. It was snarling at me and herbie.
"catch!" herbie threw me a bracelet. "arrow!" he yelled and the bracelet became a bow and arrow. "shoot the telkine!" he yelled as it came closer to him.
"telkine? Oh the monster! Duh!" I aimed the arrow and shot. Surprisingly, it actually hit the monster! The telkine burst into dust. I climbed out of the manatee exhibit and apologized to barbara for landing on her. "well that was weird! Did I get knocked out or did that really happen!?" I said to herbie. I then realized his pants were off revealing to goat legs. "this day just gets weirder and weirder!" I said.
Herbie pulled me behind a tree. "your not normal. Your a demigod. Half human, half god. I'm not sure who your mom is yet but I'm here to bring you to camp halfblood." he said.
"what?! Where!? Who!?" I asked a bunch of questions like, what's camp halfblood, why do you have goat legs, why did the monster attack me, are jelly beans allowed at camp... You know, the usual. He answered all the questions and luckily, jelly beans are allowed. "ok I'll come." I said. He led me out of the park and we went straight to my house. After we explained it all to my dad, he said ok and dismissed me from school. Thankfully, tomorrow was our last day so I wouldn't miss much. I packed my stuff as I listened to herbie explain more. "wow it sounds really cool! And scary that they are in a big war with Kronos and stuff! Hopefully that won't last long..." ((this takes place in the summer of the 2nd war with kronos....))
"so are you ready?" herbie asked.
"yep." I kissed my dad goodbye and hugged my manatee stuffed animal before putting it in my bag. I slung it over my shoulder and hopped in the cab. We got to the airport and boarded the plane.
"you'll do fine at camp!" herbie said.
I smiled and watched out the window as kissimee Florida dissapeared. Now to new York...

Chapter two: I meet the horse dude
I was sound asleep when I woke up to herbie shaking me.
"wake up! We are in new York!" he said.
I sat up and looked out the window. We were landing. Herbie and I grabbed our stuff and waited for the plane to land. Once it landed we grabbed our luggage and walked outside. "do we have a ride?" I asked.
Herbie checked his pockets for change. "dang it! No I don't. I don't think it's a very far walk though..." he sighed.
"well walking is fun! Come on!" I put on my backpack and started to walked. I rolled my suitcase behind me. While we walked I went on and on about manatees. Herbie pretended to stay interested but I could tell I was boring him. "so what is it like being half goat?" I said changing the subject.
"well, it's hard to walk. Imagine being in high heels all the time! It's kinda like that. But I can climb really well!" he said. Herbie had curly black hair, pail skin and black furry goat legs. He was wearing baggy jeans, a black polo shirt, and a new York mets baseball cap to hide his little horns.
"yeah I bet feeling like you are in high heels would get annoying! But it's cool that you can climb well! Do you have any like flying horses we could call or something?" I was getting bored of walking.
Herbie laughed. "they are called Pegasi! And no I can't just call them. I wish I could though..." he sighed.
"ugh! This walk is endless!" I said.
"its been 20 minutes!" he laughed.
"well still! Hey wanna play a game? It's called sweet and sour! Everytime a car drives by, you wave! If they wave back, their sweet, if they don't their sour!" I said.
"sure ok." he said.
A car drove by and we waved. The person didn't wave back. "sour." I said. Another drove by. "sweet!" I said. We kept doing this for a while until one car stopped and offered us a ride. It was a handy cap car because a guy in a wheel chair was in the back. I shook my head but herbie said yes. "herbie! They can be dangerous!" I whispered.
"nope I know these people. It's Chiron and Percy!" he said.
Percy waved from the front seat. "hop in!" he said.
Herbie and I climbed in. He took the front seat next to percy and I sat in the back.
"I'm Chiron. I'm a centaur! Half horse half human. I am the activities director at camp and I heard you guys needed a ride!" he said.
"a centaur? That sounds so cool! And yes we needed a ride!" a red punch buggie drove by. "RED ONE!" I punched herbies arm.
"ouch! What was that for!?" he said.
"it's a game! Goodness you people know nothing!" I pulled out my jelly beans and ate some. I offered some to every one else. For some reason, Percy would only eat the blue ones. "so Percy, who is your parent?" I asked.
"poseidon, god of the sea." he said.
"cool! So he rules over manatees! Tell him to keep boats from hurting them! It's so cruel! They can't swim fast enough!" I said.
"yeah I'll tell him." he said.
"you guys are hard to talk to. Are we almost there yet? This is a long drive. I'm bored. Do you guys know how to play the letter game? Me and my friends play it alot! It's fun! My dad is still trying to figure out the punch buggie game! Whoa look at that billboard! It is an advertisement for jelly bellies! The best jelly bean brand!" I rambled on.
Chiron put his hand over my mouth. "child, enough talking."
"sorry. I'll shut up now..." we arrived at camp and Chiron took apart his wheel chair and revealed his full centaur self.
My dyslexic eyes read the sign even though it was in Greek. It said: "camp halfblood" Chiron handed me an orange shirt.
"welcome to camp..."

((in this chapter, I had permission to use Len, copper and echo so I'm not god-modding.))
Chapter three: the mechanics kid and girl with white hair
My eyes got wide when I walked in. The camp was amazing! It had everything! I pointed out things like the rock wall, woods, Pegasi, and campers with swords! "I would get kicked out of my old school if I had one of those!" I said to herbie. A girl with white hair and red eyes walked over to me and herbie. Herbie blushed and started moving from side to side on his feet when he saw her.
"welcome back herb! I see you brought a new camper!" the white haired girl smiled shyly.
"hey! I'm scout! And yeah herbie brought me here! He is one great goat!" I patted his back.
Herbert jumped as if he was in some kind of trance. "wha- huh oh yeah I brought her here..." he said.
The white haired girl giggled. "you call him herbie! I'm echo, daughter of hestia!" echo had a small voice.
"nice to meet you! I'm not quite sure who my mom is yet... Hopefully I will find out soon!" I said.
"I might have a good guess... You have grey eyes like most Athena kids so maybe your mom is athena!" echo suggested.
"really? Cool! I always liked athena from stories I've read! But I kinda want Poseidon to be my dad so I can talk to and swim with manatees!" I smiled. I looked at herbie. He was staring at echo with a loving gaze. I laughed to myself. "well I'm gonna go look around camp a little! It was nice to meet you echo! We should hang out sometime!" I said as I walked away.
"sure! Nice to meet you to!" echo waved. Herbie looked like a scared ghost. He was standing alone with echo. "see you around herb!" she smiled and walked off.
"b-bb-bye..." he said. He ran after me. "oh why can't I talk to her!" he said.
I laughed. "I'm guessing you like her!" I teased.
"shut up..." he blushed and lightly punched my arm.
We walked into the Pegasi stable to see the Pegasi. I fed one a carrot. They were so pretty but manatees were better. We then walked to the archery arena. There was one boy shooting at a target with copper colored hair. "who's that?" I whispered to herbie.
Herbie looked over at the boy. "oh thats copper chires! He's a nice guy, son of hephastus." he said.
"I'm gonna go talk to him. He looks lonely." I walked over to copper. "hey!" I said.
Copper turned to look at me. He wiped sweat off his forehead. He had on a red shirt That said: C in white letters. yes just one simple C. "hey" he said. He seemed a little shy.
"whoa! I love your shirt! I need a shirt like that with an S! My names scout! I'm new. I literally just got here like 5 minutes ago!" I said.
"wow! I'm copper chires, son of hephastus. I was just out practicing archery and stuff..." he said as he aimed to shoot another arrow.
I turned my bracelet into a bow and arrow again. I shot a few and most hit but not the center. "hmm... I need to practice more.." I said.
"everyone needs to practice! Even the best archerers here! I'm ok at it... I prefer making things!" he smiled. He seemed not as shy. I could see me and this guy being good friends.
"yeah. So do you like manatees?" I asked him.
"manatees? Why manatees?" he asked.
"manatees are the best animal in the world!" I explained to him all about the manatees and my club, MFAM (my friends and manatees) and he actually seemed a little interested in my manatee talk!
"hey guys! Copper I see you met my friend scout!" herbie said.
"yeah! She was telling me about manatees!" copper smiled.
Herbie laughed. "yeah. Ohh those manatees... Well I should go but I'll see you guys later!" herbie said.
"see ya!" copper and I said at the same time. "so what time is dinner? I am starving! All I've eaten today were 3 bags of jelly beans." I sighed.
"uhh isn't that a little unhealthy?" copper laughed.
"yeah I guess you could say that..." we started walking to the dining pavilion. Little did I know, I was about to meet the guy of my dreams....

Chapter four: fire + food + friends = monster?
I walked into the dining pavilion where herbie told me to come to get dinner. I had to sit at the Hermes table until I was claimed. I waved to copper when I saw him and he waved back. When I sat down with my food at the Hermes table, I got glares from them. It's like they didn't know what to think of me. I was about to bite into a grape when I laid eyes on him. It was the cutesy boy I had ever seen! He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was laughing and talking to the apollo kids.
"that's Len kagamine." the kid next to me said.
"huh?" I asked.
"you know, the guy you were staring at?" he smirked.
"oh... Right..." I quickly scarfed down my food but saved some to put in the fire. Luckily someone had told me about that. I walked over to the fire and closed my eyes before dumping in the food. 'uh mom, whoever you are, please claim me soon!' I said as I dumped in the food. I put my plate away and sat by herbie. He was playing soft songs on his reed pipes. "your good at that." I said.
"thanks!" he started to play the tune of pokerface but it sounded funny on reed pipes!
It was one of the most peaceful nights ever. Everyone around me was laughing and talking why satyrs and nymphs and a few Apollo kids played music. All of a sudden, a big thing stormed out of the woods. It was a huge bull thing!
"MINOTAUR!!!" someone shouted.
The minotaur charged forward and started knocking people and tables Down. He slammed campers out of his way. I was one of those campers. He ran by me and with one swipe of his hand I was sent flying backwards into a tree. "ow!" I sat up and rubbed my aching head. Copper ran over to me.
"you ok? Drink this!" he gave me a cup of juice. Or at least I thought it was juice! It tasted like my dads special chocolate pie in a drink form. "it's nectar. It makes you feel better." copper explained.
"thanks." I said after I finished the drink and was standing again. I looked around the dining pavilion. The Apollo kids shot a rein of arrows which caused the Minotaur to explode into dust. Everyone cheered then groaned again when they looked at the mess they had to clean. Everyone, including me started cleaning up. Once we were done we all gathered around the campfire for s'mores and songs. I sat in-between herbie and copper. When I looked up the music had stopped and everyone was staring at me. "what? Is a booger hanging out of my nose or something?" I quickly wiped my nose.
"uhh scout...." copper pointed above my head.
"what?" I said a little frustrated.
Chiron stood up. "looks like we have an athena kid!" he said
"wait so athenas my mom?" I was kinda excited about this. Her kids were smart!
"yep!" herbie said.
The Athena cabin came over and introduced themselves. They all seemed pretty nice! After the campfire was over we had to go to our cabins. I got my stuff out of the Hermes cabin and moved into the Athena cabin. I claimed a top bunk by the window. I carved my name in the side so I could have it every year. I laid down and said goodnight to my new siblings. I stared at the ceiling for what seemed like hours until I drifted off...

Chapter five: camp halfblood takes capture the flag to the next level
So I woke up this morning excited to see more of camp. I walked outside after getting dressed and ready when I realized pretty much the whole camp was outside in battle armor. I was just in brown shorts with my blue tank top and manatee hat! Herbie ran up to me. Or more like galloped....
"what are you wearing? Your gonna get killed out there in those clothes!" he was also in battle armor.
"where do I get battle armor? What's going on? It's only my first full day!" I said. Copper tapped my shoulder.
"here, your on the blue team with me and herbie." he said handing me a breast plate, shield and helmet with a blue plume.
I put it all on. "o my gosh! This stuff ways twice as much as me!" I said. Copper also handed me a dagger.
"I made this thinking it might come in handy! Use your arrows for long range attacks and the dagger for up close ones. We are playing capture the flag and instead of tagging people to get them out, you fight them down." he said.
"ohh sounds.... Fun..." I said a little freaked out. I stood by copper and herbie as Chiron explained all the rules. Luckily, you weren't aloud to kill people. Which ment I had a good chance of staying alive. The game began and I followed the blue team into the woods. Copper said since I was a fast runner that they wanted me to go after the flag... They obviously forgot that I had no idea how to defend myself! Chiron blew the conch horn and the game officially started. I saw blue and red people clash in the middle. People getting jabbed and sliced everywhere! I followed copper through the woods. We approached the boundary line.
"ok just keep running forward and searching for the flag! I'll run behind you! Don't stop running!" he said pushing me forward a little.
I ran through the boundary as fast as my legs could take me. Some ares kid ran at me screaming with a sword so I tripped her. It was pretty funny but I didn't have time to laugh. Copper was right behind me fighting off people who tried to attack. I suddenly skidded to a stop. The flag was 5 feet infront of me! I jumped across the little stream and grabbed the flag. As I was running back something hit me and I tripped and fell. I stinging pain filled my leg. Someone shot an arrow at it. Copper ran to me.
"are you ok?" he said.
"yeah I'll be fine now grab the flag and run!" i told him. He stumbled but managed to grab the flag and run. I pulled the arrow out of my leg which was very painful, then tied the rim of my shirt to it to stop the bleeding. Suddenly, there was a bunch of cheering coming from the blue side. The conch horn blew.
"BLUE TEAM WINS!!!" Chiron yelled. Everyone cheered. Copper ran back over to me with some nectar. I drank it and my leg heeled. "thanks!" I said as I stood up.
"no problem! Since we won, the blue team gets a big party! The reds are invited to though. But that's ok!" he said.
We walked out of the woods and for the rest of the day I followed my schedule. My day had archery, Pegasi riding, climbing, and canoeing! I loved this place! It came time for the party and I changed clothes. I was now wearing shorts, a black secondhand serenade t-shirt (my favorite singer) and my hair was down over my shoulders. I had on my manatee cap. I always wore it. When I walked to the campfire, everyone greeted me. I met some very interesting people at camp! Copper and herbie said hey to. I wanted to talk to Len but I was afraid to. So I didn't. Some Aphrodite girls were wearing dresses and highheels. They don't get that this is a camp party. Not a formal dress party. I ate lots of food (they had jelly beans that I requested) I pretty much just ate jelly beans.
"so wasn't that fun?" copper said.
"yeah it really was! Minus getting shot in the leg!" I laughed. After the party I went back to the Athena cabin. I laid down and instantly fell asleep. What I wasn't expecting, was to dream about my future...

Chapter six: I see the future in my sleep
My dream went something like this, I was in kissimee florida. The best place ever. My dad was sitting at his computer when suddenly, the roof blew off the house. A huge storm was going on outside. Flashes or lightning, extreme winds, and even some hail! A huge hand came down and picked up my dad. He tried to scream but the hand covered his mouth. He struggled to escape but couldn't. My dream shifted and my dad was locked in a cage. It was a stormy looking Skye and the cage was above a volcano. Steam rose and my dad was sweating. A booming voice spoke:
"WELL YOUNG HERO? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?" it gave a chilling laugh.
I sat up straight and realized I was sweating. I hopped out of bed and went into the shower. It was 7:00 so I was just up a little earlier than usual. I walked outside deep in the woods. I wanted to cry in peace. My dad was in danger and I had to do something. Fast. I just sat by a tree and sobbed. I heard someone coming up behind me so I wiped my eyes and pretended like I was just exploring. It was herbie.
"what are you doing out here?" he streched his arms.
"I just wanted to go on a morning walk... Ok you got me! I'm lying! I had a dream last night..." I told him my dream.
He thought for a minute. "we need to go tell Chiron."

Chapter seven: road trip! I wish...
Herbie took me to Chiron and I explained my dream. He thought it over for a minute.
"well, you have my permission to go on a quest and find your dad. Herbie can go with you and you can pick someone else." he said.
I looked around the crowd of people eating their breakfast. "copper." I said.
Copper looked up. "someone say my name?" he walked over.
"yes. Your going on a quest with scout and herbie. Now scout, go see the oracle." Chiron said.
Herbie had told me about the oracle and where it was. I walked into the big house and into the attic. Lots of old hero trophies were in there. Everything looked so old and creepy. The creepiest thing was by far the oracle. It was a shriveled up hippie girl with wrinkly skin and beady black eyes. Her eyes seemed to look right through my soul. It sent chills up my back. I walked a little closer to it. "uhh hi there oracle... Nice weather we are having..." more silence. Suddenly a green mist came out of her mouth. The mist seemed to wrap around me. It whispered in my ear:
'I am the spirit of Delphi...' and a few other things I didn't quite catch. Then it told me my quest:
'you will travel across the country with three, Find your dad on a big red tree, Battle a monster, catch a cold, And return back to camp with the truth untold.'
The green mist went back into the oracles mouth. It went back to lifeless. I quickly left the big house and returned to breakfast. I told Chiron, herbie and copper what the oracle said.
Chiron thought for a moment. "across the country... Big red tree... Sounds like the red wood forest!" he said.
"but what about returning with the truth untold and catching a cold?" I said.
"well I'm not sure! You will need to find that out on your own!" he gave us 3 back packs that even had our clothes in it. I made sure I had my bracelet and manatee hat. Copper had his tools, and herbie had his reed pipes. We said goodbye and walked out of camp. Thankfully there was a good amount of money in the back pack. We waited at the bus stop. "have either of you been on a quest?" I asked.
Copper shook his head. "nope. This is my first!"
"unless you count finding halfbloods then no this is not my first." herbie said.
The bus arrived and we all got on. I got a window seat because I called dibs! Me, copper and herbie made sure to get a seat for three so one of us didn't have to sit next to some stranger... But once the bus started, our quest began...

Chapter eight: herbie learns Kung Fu
The bus ride went on for a few hours. Copper was leaning against me using my shoulder as a pillow and herbie was using coppers shoulder. Me, I was using my hand to rest my head on. Copper and herbie were sound asleep but I couldn't sleep. My dad was in danger. And I had eaten a bag of jelly beans. I pulled out my iPod and jammed out to music. Copper groanded when I started bouncing and trying to dance in my seat. I quickly sat still and put on a slower song. It was dark outside. We were somewhere in pennsilvannia. I turned off my music to try and sleep. I closed my eyes for a second but opened them again. When I did, an old lady was staring at me. Her eyes seemed to glow read. She hissed when I looked at her. I shoved copper. "uhh that old lady just hissed at me..." I said.
Copper rubbed his eyes and sat up. "what?" he looked over at the lady. "great... A monster found us." he sighed. He shook herbie.
Herbie sat up. "huh? What what!?" I pointed to the lady. "oh... That's not good." he said.
"I got a plan!" I said. "ok so one of us has to get up there and pull the emergency brakes. Then we can maybe get the monster to attack and when she does, we beat her up!" I said proudly.
"uh good plan..." copper said a little unsure of it. "but I guess it will have to work because I got nothin better!" he said.
"ok I'll use my reed pipes to make everyone sleepy then I'll pull the brakes!" herbie said as he started to play a soft tune.
I had to pinch myself to stay awake. The music made me really want to sleep. As everyone started to doze off, including the bus driver, herbie inched his way towards the brakes. He pulled them and the bus jerked to a stop. Me and copper slammed against the seat infront of us. "ow..." I said. The old lady stood up and pointed to herbie. "you!" she screeched and advanced towards him. She became a leathery old bat lady. Copper said she was a fury. I was walking backwards to the back of the bus when I bumped into someone. The thing hissed at me. There were two furies on the bus. Copper instantly reacted. He pulled out his sword and sliced the fury in half. It burst into dust. "yeah! Hi five!" I hi fived him. We looked over at herbie who was trying to hold off the other fury. He had a few bad cuts but nectar would fix that. Herbie took a flying leap in the air and kicked the fury in the face. He pinned it to the ground and punched it hard on the face. The monster burst into dust.
"HA! TAKE THAT!" herbie shouted at the dust pile.
Everyone on the bus was in complete shock. Me, copper and herbie quickly grabbed our backpacks and dashed out the emergency exit. We ran down the rode into the woods until we were out of site. We wondered through the woods until we found a comfortable camping spot. We set up our sleeping bags. (they were magic so they could fold really small) I laid down and instantly fell asleep...

Chapter nine: on the road again
I woke up the next morning with herbie poking me with a stick. "dude why are you poking me with a stick!?" I laughed.
"because the first time I tried to wake you up, you slapped me!" he said.
"sorry! I'm not a morning person..." copper tossed me a bag of chips. "thanks." I said as I munched on the chips. We packed our stuff and walked along through the country side. We were in Amish country. A horse drawn buggy rode on by. The people stared at us like we were freaks or something.
"I am so jealous of them right now." copper said.
"why?" herbie asked.
"because. They don't have to walk to California!" he laughed.
I thought for a minute. "maybe we could borrow one..." I said. We all three exchanged glances.
"good idea!" herbie and copper said at the same time. Herbie walked onto a farm and chatted with the farmer. He said we were 3 lost kids who were late for our cousins wedding in Ohio and didn't have a ride. He gave the farmer some money and the farmer gave him the horse and buggy. "got us a ride!" herbie said. "I'll drive and you two can sit in the back. Plus I am the protector!" herbie hopped on the front and grabbed the reigns. Copper and I hopped in the back. I opened the little window at the front so herbie could talk to us to. After we talked for a while I got tired. I laid down on the bench and fell asleep. Copper let me use his leg as a pillow.
Herbie smirked once I fell asleep. "you like her." he said to copper.
Copper blushed. "as a friend..." when herbie wasn't looking he smiled at the sleeping scout.
When I woke up I could tell herbie was getting tired. "herbie I can drive for a little." I said. Herbie nodded his head and we switched spots. Herbie fell asleep on the bench and copper came and sat by me in the drivers seat.
"have you ever driven one of these?" he asked with a smirk.
"no... But herbie needed rest." I said
"yeah he is good at his job. I'm Hungary we should find a place for dinner!" he said.
"where do you think I'm headed?" I smirked. We drove along the long rode in search of good food.

Chapter ten: I get my first Kiss from a monster
Me, copper and herbie all walked into the resturaunt. We sat down and ordered our food. In the resturaunt I saw my schools football team probably here to play against an away team. My schools football team was really good. I saw a guy who was new this year named cam. He always seemed to be looking at me. "hey guys!" I walked over to them.
"hey there scout!" they said. Cam smiled at me.
"hey! Haven't seen you in a while! Our team decided to play some summer games." he said. He stood up to me. He had blonde hair that came just above his eyes and stormy grey eyes. But he wasn't a demigod. He had a flashy white smile. Like lightning. "so uh scout... You coming back to Florida soon? I was gonna ask you out but you left." he said.
"uh I barely know you cam!" I laughed. Copper glared at cam and herb looked at him uneasily.
"I don't trust that guy..." herb whispered to copper.
"me either..." copper whispered back.
Cam smirked at copper and herb. "well we talked a few times, and I know I like you!" he flashed another smile.
The food came to our table. "I'll come talk again after I eat." I said and walked back to the table. I sat down and started to eat. "he is soooo hot!" I said to copper and herbie.
Copper rolled his eyes. "he looks stuck up..." he muttered and jabbed a piece of chicken.
Herbie looked at cam uneasily. "he looks suspicious..." he said.
"you guys are crazy! He looks fine!" I smiled at cam. I quickly ate the rest of my food. I walked back over to cam to say goodbye. "I have to go but I'll see you next time I'm in Florida! I'm at a summer camp right now..." she said.
"ok. See you next year! I know we don't know each other well but just to remember me by..." he put his hand on my neck and kissed me. Copper and herbie gasped. As soon as his lips met mine, they seemed to shock me. I pulled away.
"ow! Your lips shocked me!" I said rubbing my mouth.
Cam scoweled. "darn! Your still conscious!" suddenly, he formed into a tornado human things. He was shooting lightning bolts at me.
"AHHHH!" I screamed as I dodged bolts. Customers started to run away screaming. We all would have been electrocuted if it werent for copper. He pulled out a mini vacuum and sucked up cam. Once the papers and napkins stopped blowing around, I let out a deep breath. "phew! Thank you copper!" I hugged him. He seemed to blush. "next time, I'll listen to you and herbie!" I laughed. I waved goodbye to the real football players and followed herbie and copper back to the wagon. Our journey continued.

Chapter eleven: I fall off the wagon
We drove along the dirt rode. Or more like trotted... We were almost out of Pennsylvania but the horse buggie ride seemed endless. I was sitting in the back doodling in my journal. The ride was bumpy so the drawings were messed up. "are we gonna get a car soon?" I asked herbie.
"no. None of us can drive! We are only fourteen!" herbie said.
"ugh!" I groaned. The wagon ride was endless. I decided to sit on the roof since it was flat and hard. I climbed up there.
"scout what are you doing?" copper laughed.
"having a little fun!" I said. I sat cris cross. The wind felt amazing. I stretched out my arms. Suddenly we hit a bump in the road. I went flying backwards. I hit the ground with a hard thump. "ow..." I said as I laid on the dirt road. Copper spotted me.
"herbie stop the cart." copper climbed out. "I knew this would happen!" he laughed and helped my back into the buggie.

Chapter twelve: we FINALLY get a new way of transport!
I had enough of the stupid wagon. "guys we have to get a bus or something!" I put my back pack over my face and moaned.
"someone didn't get enough sleep!" copper laughed.
I glared at him. "I can't sleep on this thing! The road is to bumpy!" I had my head on coppers lap and was trying to fall asleep but couldnt.
Copper smirked. "just relax and don't focus on it."
"gee! Never thought of that!" I smirked. I closed my eyes but still couldn't sleep.
Herbie sat up and rubbed his eyes. "I'm sleeping in the drivers seat which is way more uncomfortable than where your sitting!" he hissed.
Copper smirked. "am I the only one in a good mood? Guys there is a simple solution! All we need is like a bus!" he said.
"that's what I've been saying for the past 3 days!" I muttered.
"we will go to the bus stop in the morning!" herbie said and laid back down.
I closed my eyes and attempted to sleep. Minutes passed and copper fell asleep along with herbie. I never could fall asleep. The next morning we found a bus stop. "yes!" I smiled and sat on the bench to wait for the bus. Herbie untied the horse and told it to head home. He gave the horse some protection blessing and the horse galloped off. The bus arrived and we boarded. The 3 seat was taken so I sat by copper and herbie sat infront of us. I had the window seat of course! I leaned against the window and finally fell asleep.
