Percy Jackson:Half Blood Heroes (Book #4-Athena's Quest)

Medusa didn't come to a museum to see her history:

(Inside of the Athena Parthenon Museum)
(Ariana Finley sees a statue of Eirene,Goddess of Peace)

???:(voice)You like what you see?

(Ariana Finley turns)
???:Sorry,I did not meant to scare you.I just noticed that you were so interested in this particular statue.
Ariana Finley:Eirene,Goddess of Peace,daughter of Zeus and the Titaness Themis.1 of the 3 Horai,maidens closely associated with the fertility of the Earth and the nurturing of Children.The original bronze was erected in the Agora of Athens between 375/374 and 360/359 B.C.It is known from literary sources that the cult of Eirene was introduced to Athens in 375/374 B.C. The Greek traveler Pausanius saw the work in the Agora in the second century A.D. and reported that it was by the sculptor Kephisodotos.Eirene was represented as a beautiful young woman wearing a peplos and himation.Holding a scepter in her right hand and carrying the young child Ploutos with a cornucopia on her left arm.
???:Wow,it seems that you know your gods very well.
Ariana:(lying)I...took classes at a very young age...
Ariana:So,Umm...is this a new exhibition?
???:In a certain way it is,the Athena Parthenon is hosting this tour with association with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This exhibit is set to be present here in Nashville until August 1.Any other questions you have that I can debrief you?
Ariana:Yeah,is it true that Dr.Martin Finley was here?
???:Yeah,2 weeks ago,there was the opening of the exhibit and many especial guests were invited.Dr.Finley was 1 of them in particular.Why would you ask that?
Ariana:(lying)Umm...curious...I guess...
???:Well,if you need something else,you can let me know.My name is Parker Peters,I am an intern here at the Athena Parthenon.
Ariana:Thanks Parker,but I think I will be fine for now.
(Aaron Finley and Anastasia are seeing the statue of Nike from Samothrace)
(Ariana goes with Aaron Finley and Anastasia)
Anastasia:Any sign of your dad
Ariana:Nothing new,just that he was invited to the opening of the exhibition 2 weeks ago.
Aaron Finley:We just talked with a segurity guard of the museum,said that he saw dad escorted to the exit.
Ariana:Escorted to the exit?By who?
Aaron:He said that couldn't recognize
Anastasia:Perhaps whoever escorted your dad have been a monster,I know by fact that monsters are very good with the mist.
Aaron:You mean Arachne?
(Anastasia says "yes" with her head)
(Suddenly,a hissing is heard)
(Aaron turns)
(Aaron sees a woman covered in the face by a fancy hat and sunglasses in front of a Perseus statue holding Medusa's head)
(Aaron notices a snake coming from the head of the woman covered in the face by a fancy hay and sunglasses)
Aaron:(nervous)Ah...girls...
Ariana and Anastasia:What?
Aaron:(nervous)I...I think I just found out what monster escorted dad to the exit...
Ariana and Anastasia:Who???

???:(voice)Me...

(The woman takes out her fancy hat and is revealed to be Medusa)
Ariana and Aaron:Medusa?!
Medusa:The one and only.I heard what you said,you children of Athena really know your monsters.
Ariana:So you and Arachne are working together?
Medusa:Well,you know what they say,the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
(Ariana,Aaron and Anastasia prepare to fight)
Medusa:I wouldn't take out your weapons if I were you,unless you want to make a scene that will trash this place.I'm pretty sure everything here is precious history and lots of money.
Aaron:Damn it!She's right!
Anastasia:Then,why are you here?
Medusa:Easy,I am offering you a chance to make your quest more easy.You wouldn't have the guts to fight Arachne.Children of Athena are afraid of spiders,after all.I'm not sure of that also applies to cyclops as well,through.Surrender yourselves and all you'll have to do is "take a picture" with me.
Aaron:I suppose that when you say "take a picture" you mean turning us into stone.
Medusa:Exactly,better than fighting a giant spider,am I right?So what do you say?
Ariana:Sorry,Medusa,but I think we will take the risk.
Medusa:Such pride.Typical of Athena and her offspring.I was hoping it will not come to this,but since you insist...
(Medusa starts taking off her sunglasses)
(Ariana,Aaron and Anastasia quickly cover their eyes)
Medusa: ...Sssneak a peak
(A security guard passes by and sees Medusa)
(The security guard turns into stone)
(Suddenly,the fire alarm turn on)
(Ariana,Aaron and Anastasia run)
(Ariana,Aaron and Anastasia hide behind a bronze statue of Eros,God of Love)
(Aaron takes out a mirror and uses it to look at Medusa)
Anastasia:Now what?
Ariana:Okay,there's 3 of us and 1 of her.She can't look at us at the same time if we split up.
Aaron:(holding a mirror)You forgot about 1 thing,sis.Not looking her in the eyes...and trying not to break any value stuff here.
Ariana:That's right.
(People start leaving the museum)
(Medusa looks around the museum for Ariana,Aaron and Anastasia)
Medusa:(looking for Ariana,Aaron and Anastasia)Kids,come on.You can't hide here forever.
(2 security guards approach Medusa from behind)
(Medusa turns)
(The 2 security guards turn into stone)
Medusa:(looking for Ariana,Aaron and Anastasia)Why don't you stop fighting me and instead finish the fight here.It would be much better than returning to your precious camp as an embarassment,don't you think?
Ariana and Aaron: ...
Medusa:So,stand up.Let's have a look at you.
(Ariana takes out her spear)
(Ariana gets out of hiding while closing her eyes and pointing her spear towards Medusa)
Medusa:You made the right choice,sweetie.Now,where is your twin brother?
Ariana:(closing her eyes/pointing her spear at Medusa)...

Aaron:(voice)Right here!

(Aaron stabs Medusa behind her back and is injured)
Anastasia:Aaron!Don't look!
(Anastasia tackles Aaron before Medusa sees them)
(A tourist sees Medusa and is turned into stone)
(Medusa painfully grabs her fancy hat and sunglasses back)
(Medusa painfully puts on her fancy hat and sunglasses again)
Medusa:(injured)You won this round,but I warn you,next time we see,I will not be as merciful.
(Medusa leaves injured)
Aaron:Well,that wasn't so bad.
Ariana:Yeah,but we just brought time.Good thing Anastasia turned on the fire alarm.
Anastasia:I didn't do it.I thought you did it.
Aaron:Wait,if neither of us did it,then who?

Parker Peters:(voice)That was me,actually.
