Percy,

"Hey Frank!" I yell at him from across the street. He turns around and squints to see me. "look at this!" I finish the sentance. He walks over and studies what I am showing him.

"Yea that would be totally awesome!" He replies enthusiastically. I quickly scribble our names down on a sign up sheet labeled,

To Saturn And Back.

A two way trip to Saturn

Leaving 045 days

*you won't be told until DOD*

Register TODAY ONLY.

Imagine getting picked for this! This is a once in a lifetime trip!

"Saturn is the Roman version of Kronos." Frank points out as we walk away.

"Hmm," I muse, "wonder if that means anything?" We both shrug and continue down the street.

"I wonder if the ice cream shop is still open?" Frank wonder aloud. We wander off there totally forgetting about what we just signed up for.

45 days later,

A single letter slides through the camp letterbox addressed,

Dear, Mr JACKSON, Perseus and a Mr ZHANG, Frank

RE: NASA, GRILLO, David.

I pick up the letter wondering what it is about and open it. It's headed,

To Saturn And Back.

Oh My Gods, it's been 45 days, Frank and I got chosen. Why did we not get told earlier? I remember back to when we signed up. In the small print was that we wouldn't be told to DOD, what does DOD mean?

Date Of Departure. Fuck. I mean crap, I mean shit, I mean, oh who gives a fuck. Stuff this no swearing shit.

"Frank!" I yell out. Where is he? I barge into the Ares cabin and look around only to have about a hundred arrows fired at me. I yelp in suprise and jump backwards but all the arrows have been set up to land on the door frame. Then swirling lights start up along with a voice over repeating, Intruder, Intruder, intruder. I roll my eyes as all the Ares people come rushing from sword practice towards their cabin. Frank reaches me first and I hold up the letter. Frank takes a minute to read it it due to not having dixlexia like the rest of us. And his face just drops in suprise. His mouth gaping open he looks at me to confirm it and I just nod.

Three hours later we're both totally packed and Annabeth and Hazel are the only ones with us. Annabeth is holding my arm and leaning her head on my shoulder. She's not saying much but I can sense that there's a lot she wants to say.

The NASA guy shows up at the borders our "summer camp" and packs our stuff into his large black limo. And asks us to come with him. At the last second Annabeth grabs my arm and pulls me into her with a sad look in her eyes.

"Dont go." She whispers. I kiss her, a kiss full with passion and love.

"I'll be back."

So I got Chelsea_Delos to help me make the writing better and I got The Teenage Fandom for making the banner!
