"Wake up sleeping beauty!" Annabeth exclaimed in my ear.

"AH!" I screamed, "Annabeth that was way too loud."

"Sorry you were in a deep sleep. We need your help with building the raft," Annabeth told me.

We had a quick breakfast. "So which one of us will go look for some more food?" Percy asked.

"I will" I volunteered.

We set out in two different directions. Percy and Annabeth went to the beach, holding hands (aww so sweet!). I went towards the heart of the island. I saw a bunch of bananas. I grabbed as much as I could and stuffed it into my bag. I wanted more than just bananas to eat. I came upon a stream. That running stream just looked so good. I took a quick swim in it. The second I touched the water, all of my sores from the past few days healed. I felt fresher than I had in my whole entire life!

Surrounding the river were apple trees. Apples are my favorite fruit. My stomach growled like a hungry bear. I reached up and stood on my tip toes and grabbed an apple. I took a bite of that yummy thing. I was so hungry, I ate the whole entire apple. I could see the seeds.

I grabbed some more apples (and emptied out some bananas) before I left. "There you are!" Annabeth exclaimed when I got to the beach.

"We need some help cutting down this tree," Percy told me.

I went to the side of the tree that he was on. The second that my pick touched it, the tree fell over. "Thank you Aqua!" they told me.

"No problem, now lets put this tree on the raft," I told them.

We screwed it onto the raft. "Is this safe?" I asked.

"We won't know until we try it," Annabeth said.

We put ourselves on it and pushed the raft out to sea. Hopefully, this will work better than the Pegasuses.
