"NOW YOU'RE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE!"

----

For a demigod, peace is simply non-existent! Hi, I'm Frank Zhang, and you're watching "Leo Valdez has yet another Disney moment!"

At the campfire last night, a lot of eventful things happened... Including a new Iris kid named Elaine Jace shoving 25- no- 26 marshmallows down her throat. In which, Leo helped.

SPEAKING OF LEO!

While we were all eating our marshmallows, Leo got up and cleared his throat melodramatically. He requested everyone's attention, and I knew he was going to start with something unexpected.

Really, I thought he'd start talking nonsense or start a random Ted-Talk. No, no no no. He's dressed up as Mickey Mouse, and I quote, "MICKEY MOUSE" Before. Though, it was just a rat costume, and screamed, "I WILL COPYRIGHT YOU!" On the top of his lungs. How different could this be, right?

He takes off his long coat, which, yes, he was wearing a long coat. I did wonder why, but I thought, "Hm. Just Leo things."

And oh Gods he was wearing an Elsa costume underneath. He then started singing 'Let it Go'. And Percy chorused it with 'Under the Sea'. Like I said, eventful.

And we all went to bed after that, and wow, I was not excited for this damned quest.

----

We had agreed to meet in the Poseidon Cabin at 7:30 AM.

I looked at the clock in the Ares cabin. 7:25.

I put on my sneakers and quietly opened the door of the cabin and bolted out.

I speed walked to the Poseidon cabin, today was the day we'd set out. The adrenaline caught up to me really fast. After so long, it was finally here.

I knocked on the door gently. I heard footsteps and murmuring from the other side, Jason opened the door, giving me a light smile.

"Frank! Come on in!" Said Jason.

Leo randomly appeared next to me, and in his best childish voice, he asked,

"May I come in, Professor. J. J. Grace?"

Jason gave him a sigh and nodded.

We both entered the cabin.

"Looks like we have to wait for the girls now." Said Percy, looking at his watch, and just as he said that, we heard fast footsteps and a breathless voice,

"Are we late?" Annabeth asked.

"Not at all." Said Percy, looking back into his watch, it read 7:30.

"Right on time!" Said Piper, trying to ease the tension.

"Rachel and Hazel are late. Does that mean they'll get a punishment, Professor?" Asked Leo, blinking his eyes.

I noticed something I didn't notice earlier. Leo was holding a random label-less bottle of something that looked like Orange juice. Was he contributing to breakfast? Interesting. How thoughtful of him!

Hazel ran in, almost tripping over herself.

"I blame my tardiness on the Harpies!" She groaned, trying to take Harpy feathers out of her already frizzy hair.

Rachel ran in next, gasping for air in a panicked way.

"CURFEW IS OVER! WHY ARE THE HARPIES STILL OUT?!" She yelled, trying to close the door in one's face.

"I didn't encounter any." I raised an eyebrow,

"Neither did we!" said Jason, Piper and Annabeth in unison.

"THEY ARE DEFINITELY TARGETING ME! THEY'VE BEEN NEAR MY CAVE FOR TWO WHOLE DAYS! EVEN DURING THE DAY!"

"They have a thing against oracles, children or important people of Hecate's."
Hummed Annabeth.

"And how do you know that?" Questioned Leo.

"Because I know." She said.

"Anyways," I started, "We should discuss the quest. Timings and all-"

Leo held up the bottle I had forgotten about, "ORANGE JUICE IS ALWAYS FIRST!"

----

We were sitting on the floor of the Poseidon Cabin, filling glasses with juice.
Jason gave one glass to Hazel and one to me.

I sniffed it, "Smells weird.." I murmured to myself.

Annabeth was pouring a glass for herself, and Percy gulped half-a-glass down already.

"Why does it have no label?" Asked Jason,

"Uhhh.. Lemme see that real quick.." Leo took the bottle from Jason, examining it. "Oh." He looked up at us all. Piper was drinking it, when she suddenly spit it back into the cup.

"What is this taste? It's- it's oily and-"

"It's Festus' gasoline..." Finished Leo on her behalf,

"Hm? Is it now?" Said Rachel, holding up the glass. And what she did next was not to spit it out, or to put it down, but to drink it all right down. "I'm a machine. Shakira Shakira bitch."

"Woah." Sighed Leo in admiration.

"Hey guys, can I have another gla-" Percy stopped when he saw Annabeth's face. "What?! I just want more orange juice!"

Well clearly he wasn't listening to the conversation.

"That's gasoline, Percy." Blinked Hazel, putting down her own cup in confusion.

"Oh! Is that why it tasted like liquid nitrogen?"

"How'd you know what liquid nitrogen tastes like?"

"Don't ask."

"Okayyy... Let's get you guys to the infirmary." Said Annabeth, signalling Rachel and Percy to follow, to which, Rachel reluctantly did.

"We're doomed, aren't we?"

"Yeah."
