Zoë POV
We all went to sleep after taking pictures of Percy drooling on Luke's shoulder. It was adorable! They would make a cute couple.
---
When we woke up Percy was just standing up. We all smiled at him until I remembered something.

"Tell us what you meant when you mentioned Tartarus. The truth."
He looked panicked.

Was it really that bad?

Percy POV
I was panicking. Do I really have to tell them? Luke grabbed my hand and squeezed it, giving me some confidence.

"Alright, so A-Annabeth had been trying to retrieve the Athena Parthenos.  Arachne had trapped her ankle but we didn't know it. So when Arachne fell into Tartarus, she did too, but I grabbed her hand first. I was pulled in but I managed to grab a ledge and tell Nico one more thing before we fell. Then-"



3 hours later

"-And that is what happened."

Everyone stared at me and Luke hugged me.
"I'm so glad you are alright."
I smiled. Luke stood up and pulled me to the kitchen and sat down everyone following.
"So who's gonna make breakfast today?" Ethan asked.
"I vote Bianca!"
"Hey! No Zoë"
"Uh-uh Luke!"
"Never!"
While they bickered I went to the fridge and got out some flour, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Oh don't forget the blue food coloring. I started to make blue pancakes and I sang one of my favorite songs.

"When you're alone, do you think of me?
And my diamond ring's thrown out to sea.
And when you love, do you love for me?
Like harmony, a never ending dream.

Oh well, oh well. I still hope for the best.
Say goodbye and send me off with a kiss farewell.
And I promise I'll be just as strong as I can be.
Maybe you could get some sleep tonight.

I imagined a guitar and it popped into my hand. I played the instrumental part and started swaying a bit. At the end of the instrumental I put the guitar down so I could flip the pancakes.

So here's your song. It's twisting me.
I'd give anything to make you scream.
And I'll just smile, and make believe I don't feel a thing.
That doesn't work for me.

Oh well, oh well. Guess I'll see you in hell.
There's a pretty little picture that's in my head.
And I'm starting to dream, changing colours while I sleep.
Maybe I'm just wasting time.

Sit still and listen to the soundtrack.
I'll tell you how I took one straight through the heart,
And it's not easy to talk about.
So we all scream loud.

There is another instrumental so I do the same thing.

And that was it.
I had made it clean just across the street with my new wings.
So I'll just fly and hope that I remember the good times when it's done.

Oh well, oh well.
I can't live with myself as I'm climbing in your window to get to your bed.
And I'll be what you need,
You can call me anything
Just as long as we're still friends.

Sit still and listen to the soundtrack.
I'll tell you how I took one straight through the heart, and it's not easy to talk about.
So we all sing.

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh ohh-oh

When she smiles, well it's got nothing to do with me.
I'm not the one who sings her to sleep.
And I've been talking to God asking for just a little help with you but it's hopeless.
