Leo woke up, stretching. The bed Wilbur had somehow had with him was surprisingly comfortable.
"Hey, do you want your bed back?" Leo asked Wilbur.
"Thanks." Wilbur said. He picked up the bed, which shrunk to the size of his hand, then disappeared all together.
"Someone wake up Quackity." Tommy said.
"You do it. I'm not waking him up." Wilbur said.
"You act like siblings." Percy commented.
Tommy flinched. Wilbur said nothing.
"Wake up, señor." Leo said, standing over Quackity's bed.
"No."
Tommy started laughing. "Big Q, how long have you been awake?"
"I don't know, half an hour?"
Tommy laughed harder. "And you didn't say anything."
"No."
"Why?"
"I'm tired."
"Weak. I don't need sleep." Tommy said.
Everyone was laughing now.
"So, what do we do now?" Leo asked when everyone had calmed down.
"I say we go to the casino." Quackity said. "Have some fun."
"I think Wilbur is the only one here old enough." Percy said.
"Any askers?" Quackity smirked.
"Big Q, I don't think I can go there, I'm only 17." Tommy laughed.
"WHERE ARE THE ASKERS?" Quackity sang with autotune.
"You have to teach me how to do that." Leo said.
"I can't." Quackity said. His smile fell, his expression grew distant. "It's just a talent I have." He said, smiling again.
"Why do you want to go the casino?" Annabeth asked.
"It's fun."
"Quackity, your underage. How do you know?" Percy asked.
"Um." Quackity hesitated. "Fake ID."
"We need to get back to the problem on hand." Wilbur said. "Recognition for the gods."
"How are we going to do that? And why?" Leo asked.
"Maybe we have to prove ourselves. To show your gods that ours deserve a place among them. That our quests are as good as theirs." Wilbur suggested.
"In that case, getting into a casino while being underage might be an accomplishment." Tommy said. "Let's do it Big Q."
"So, the Protector guy, he put us here so we could meet up, but he wants us to have our gods meet?" Percy asked.
"That sounds about right." Wilbur said.
"So now we just have to get back to Long Island Sound and the Empire State Building."
"Yeah. And talk to your gods." Wilbur confirmed.
"And we're in Las Vegas. So we have half the country between us."
"So we should start now." Wilbur said.
"Wil," Tommy said. "I think Phil has a message for us." he pointed to a crow with a folded piece of paper in it's beak.
"Who's Phil?" Leo asked. And what does a crow have to do with him?
Wilbur reached up and took the paper from the bird.
"'I'm at the casino. Meet me there, in the back room. I need to talk to you. -Phil'" Wilbur read.
"Well, it looks like we know where we're going." Quackity said.
