Annabeth Does Obedience School (Calypso)

[We stood... an earpiece]

"Who's that?" Rachel asked.

"That's Charon," Hades said.

"He's the ferryman," Nico explained.

[I turned... shouldn't think negative."]

"I think you've hung around Percy too much Annabeth," Will joked.

"Nah, she's always been that sassy," Thalia said, with Luke agreeing.

[I took... be fine."]

"Thanks for saying that," I whispered to her. She silently nodded.

[She gave... feel better]

"That's what friends are for," Hestia said, smiling.

[I slipped... their bodies]

"Gee, Prissy. It's almost like they're ghosts," Clarisee told me.

"I think I knew that," I responded.

[The security... is Chiron?"]

"You didn't," Nico said in disbelief.

"I did," I told him.

"Did what?" Frank asked, confused.

"He called Charon, Chiron. Not only does he hate that, it'll tip him off that they're not actually dead," Nico explained.

"Is that why you three were laughing earlier?" Jason asked.

"Yeah. We found it ironic that Percy said he'd never be able to distinguish Chiron from Charon," Annabeth said.

[He leaned... added smoothly]

"He gives off Snape vibes," Rachel said.

"That's the truth," Annabeth agreed.

["Sir," I... CARE-ON."]

'Say it with me: Ko-da' I thought, quoting a movie I remember watching.

["Charon."... for support]

"As usual," Thalia teased.

"Of course, she's the smartest person I know," I said. Annabeth smiled when she heard that.

["We want... the bathtub."]

"There's no way he bought that," Hades said.

"Did he?" Artemis asked.

"For a moment, Lady Artemis," I told her.

["All three... office desk]

"Oh, that's going to tip him off," Nico said.

"No duh," I told him.

["Well, now... I'm dead."]

Laughter burst out around the room, so I decided to stand up and take a bow.

[Charon leaned... I felt]

"You succeeded," Annabeth told me.

"Thanks," I responded, with a small smile.

[Charon growled... got there?"]

I could see Hades start to mutter some Ancient Greek curses, as he realized where this was going.

["A lot,"... come cheap?"]

"You just had to get him started," Hades told me with a slight glare.

"I'm sorry Lord Hades, we needed entrance to the Underworld," I told him.

["You deserve... to Hades."]
