Sally: hmmm I need to buy something for the three of them that they can have forever... Perhaps some type of jewelry. Sally thought to herself. She rolled the baby stroller with the triplets inside it over to the jewelry store in the mall they were at. Let's see what you guys think about necklaces and bracelets. She rolled the stroller over to the bracelets section and looked at the bracelets. "Hmm, Sophie's eyes match this one". She said to herself while pointing at a green-blue gem inside a white seashell. There were pearls as beads around the bracelet. "I'll ask your father to enchant this bracelet so you can always protect yourself." She said to the giggling baby. She put the bracelet in the little slot to keep items and rolled the stroller over to the necklace section. "Hmm let's see. What should I get for you two..." She immediately found a necklace that was blue-green like Aqua's eyes. It had a blue-green jewel inside a seashell and was on a black string with a seashell clasp at the back. She looked around looking for something that was similar to Aqua's and Sophie's so that she could find something for Percy. Hmmm... OH, I see one right there! She thought to herself. She rolled the stroller over to a necklace with a silver string and a seashell with the most beautiful pearls surrounding it like beads. "I'm sure you will love this you three." She said before planting a kiss on top of their heads. She rolled over the cart and went to pay for their necklaces and bracelet. "Hi, I would like to buy these items."

"Of course." A familiar voice said. She looked up and saw Poseidon standing behind the counter. 

"Po- What are you doing here?" She said looking around. 

"Well... um, I cam to tell you that I need to take the two girls now..." Poseidon said

"But- I thought-"

"I know... I told Zeus and he refuses for me to leave the girls here any longer." 

"Well then... can you at least enchant their necklaces and bracelet to have some sort of weapon or shield to protect themselves?" Sally said looking up at Poseidon expectantly. 

"Of course..." He muttered an enchantment for each piece of jewelry and looked at Sally." It is done. May I... take them now?" 

Sally looked down at her children. She kissed their foreheads and handed over the girls to Poseidon. "Take care of them will you?" She asked softly. 

"Of course Sally... Goodbye." 

"Goodbye, my sweet little daughters..." She drove the stroller back home with Percy in it and put him to bed. "Sweet dreams Percy." She sat down next to Percy and eventually dozed off herself.
