When Estelle exited school, she was not expecting to see a limousine waiting for her.
She was also not expecting Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank and Leo to be there, right next to the limo.
The five were completely surrounded by students (and some teachers), asking for autographs, especially Piper and Leo (who were the most famous, the others were only know by who was interested on their fields).
Estelle went to them.
Frank was the first one to see her, being the tallest:
- Tele! There you are!
The other four immediately looked at her (like every mortal around).
It didn't take long before she was being crushed by a tight hug from Piper and Hazel.
- We missed you! – Piper exclaimed.
- I also missed you, Piper – she answers hugging back – But what are you doing here? And where are the children?
- We came to pick you and Uncle Paul, obviously – Leo said.
- Aunty Sally is watching the kids – Jason explains.
- But why did you come to pick us? And why is my mom watching them? – Asks Estelle, ignoring the mortals surprise by the two of them calling her parents Uncle and Aunty.
- Today is your brother's and Annabeth's wedding anniversary, of course! – exclaims Piper.
- And we planned a surprise party to them at camp – Hazel adds, smiling.
- Aunt Sally is already with the kids at camp, so... - Frank struggles.
- Wait, seriously? Why did none of you said anything? – asks Estelle – And why the five of you had to come to pick us up?
- Because you are terrible at keeping secrets from your brother – says Jason.
- It's noy my fault he has a talent to figuring out lies – she grumbles, being ignored.
- And the five of us came because we discovered your classmates started to ask you for our autographs – said Leo – So we came to solve this problem too.
- That's also why we came with the limo – explained Hazel – so everyone would fit in the car. We borrowed Jules-Albert from Nico to be the chauffeur.
- And he let you guys borrow his chauffeur? – Estelle's dad voice asks.
- Uncle Paul! – exclaimed the demigods.
- Now that you are here, we can go – says Piper, after hugging him.
- And answering your question – Hazel adds – my brother agreed to lent us Jules-Albert because of the special circumstances.
- Easy like that? – Paul asks, raising and eyebrow.
- Will may have helped to convince him – concedes Jason.
- Of course he did – agreed Paul – Shall we go?
He asks, already entering the car, no hesitation (and so Estelle realized he already knew and that's probably why they had used the bus to go to school that morning).
Soon the others followed him and the left to Camp Half-Blood.
Percy and Annabeth can't understand why Poseidon had been acting weird all day, taking them from one side to another of the ocean, solving ver simple problems while Amphitrite watched the children (Little Sally had already completed 6 months and was accepting staying away from her parents for some time).
