We Hail The Taxi Of Eternal Torment (Travis)

[Annabeth was... to admit]

"Really?" Annabeth asked me.

"Yeah," I said, rubbing the back of my neck.

"I had missed you too," she said with a smile.

[But I'd... are pretty."]

"Thank you Tyson," Annabeth told him with a smile, and he smiled back.

"You're more than pretty," I whispered to her, causing her to blush slightly.

["Ah! Gross!"...  even burned."]

"Of course not. He's a cyclops," Hera scoffed.

I just rolled my eyes, and stayed silent.

["Of course... hand away]

"Annabeth!" Hestia scolded.

"I know, I was rude," Annabeth said before turning to Tyson, "I'm sorry, Tyson. I shouldn't have smacked your hand. You were invading my personal space, but I should have been nicer about it."

"It's alright Annabeth. I still like your hair though," Tyson said.

"Thank you," she said, with a small smile.

["Annabeth,"... she decided]

"Excuse me?" Frank said.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to call them that was just as easy," she defended.

"I guess that's fair," Frank huffed.

["Now come... about Grover?"]

"Aw, you do care," Grover said.

"You know I do," I told him.

[Her face... at camp."]

"What's going on?" Hazel asked.

"It's a long story," I said, avoiding answering that question once again.

["My mom... until today."]

"How did you manage that?" Leo asked.

"Lots of luck. Oh, also, because I had Tyson around me," I told him.

["None? But... getting killed]

"Was that your logic behind telling me?" Rachel asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Not really. It was more that you forced me into it," I told her.

["Big guy,"... the point]

"Obviously, he already knew this information," Thalia said.

"Well how was I supposed to know that? I didn't even know he was a cyclops," I retorted.

["Uh, well... "But then..."]

"Apparently Tyson already knew who his father is," Connor said.

"Meaning his claiming wasn't needed," Travis added.

"What can I say, I wanted it to be official," my dad said.

"Like Tantalus would've let Tyson say anything anyway," I muttered under my breath.

[A siren...  "Trust me."]

"Always," I whispered to Annabeth, who smiled but didn't say anything.

[I hesitated... come on."]

"What taxi are you going to catch anyway?" Hermes asked. "Percy has a point about it costing a lot. Unless you still have the Lotus Card."
