Annabeth's Pov

- Hey, you said you live in Hades Castle!? Really?

Percy said, he was clearly interested in the topic.

- Yeah but it's not that cool. The Wifi is terrible.

I said. Actually, living in Hades Castle sounds pretty cool, I have to admit, every time someone tells me: "Hell has a special place for you!" I don't feel offended, I even laugh because it's true.

- Wait, Underworld has Wifi??

Percy asked me. It's true that many people think that places like that don't have electricity, right?

- Of course, in this age of technology, everywhere has electricity, Wifi and Internet. But if you ask me in more detail, I give up.

I said. It's true that I don't know where Hades gets Wifi, Electricity, Clean Water for drinking (mainly for me) and I don't really care. As long as I'm alive, it's fine, I have no complaints.

-Wow, Underworld is actually more modern than the other camps. Electronics are almost completely banned in the camp.

Grover sighed, I understand. It's true that electronics are a luxury in the camp. And to think about it, the half-blood camp has strict curfew hours, if you don't follow them, the worst thing is to be fried into a frying pan by those bird-shaped demons for dinner. But in Underworld, no one forces me to sleep early (and even if I wanted to, I rarely get to sleep), so now my eyes are full of dark circles... trust me, I've tried to get rid of them from my face, but once they appear, I can't get rid of them.

-That's why Persephone sometimes tortures me by forcing me to watch romantic dramas with her. Oh my god, those movies are 90% unrealistic and cringe, I don't know if Persephone intentionally chose those cringe movies but I swear, she knows I don't like romance stuff.

I complained. I can't remember how many illogical and cringe school romance movies I've watched, sometimes I even thought the screenwriter was a middle school girl or something. But nowadays, every thing has to try to get cram emotions in, sometimes it's good but most of the time it ruins everything (at least for me).

- Agreed, If it is a good film with unpredictable, unique plot, thenI don't have to anything to say, but many romance stories nowadays are about the type of naive female lead meeting some handsome rich guy, and the rest of the plot is too predictable, everyone knows that there will be misunderstandings, mistresses, etc.

Percy said. I don't think he even watches romance movies.

-Is this the time to be badmouthing romances??

Grover asked us. Yeah, it's weird to be riding a Pegasus in the sky while on a mission to decide world peace and talking about romances, but who can blame us? Even if we're demigods, trained heroes or something, we're still teenagers.

- Exactly, my friend. It's been a long time since someone thought like me. The last time I talked about it, the girls in my old class treated me like a heartless piece of shit, and I still get mad.

Percy said. If there was a child of Aphrodite here, we'd probably have a big fight, but we wouldn't have one here, we're in the sky. I suddenly realized that hating the same thing and badmouthing it together is actually a good way to start a friendship.

----------

It was getting dark. The sun was setting. It was really beautiful to watch the sunset while riding a Pegasus. It was magical and poetic. The sky changed from orange to purple and then black.

I looked around and saw a convenience store on the ground.

-Hey, let's go to the convenience store, okay?
