Demigods save the Queen

Chapter 4

VANN SWANSON

After leaving Jo to take care of a knocked out Josh, me and Percy took off after the pick pocket and his accomplice. They were weaving through people, jumping trashcans and low walls while me and Percy were still struggling not to trip over other peoples feet and the uneven pavement.

So yeah, as you probably expected we lost them after a few blocks and turned around to go back and get Jo and Josh.

"Percy, I am absolutely sure this is the way we came." I pointed to the left

"Well then you must be wrong, because I remember passing that street performer juggling knives." He pointed a little ways in front of us were a crowd had gathered around the street performer.

"Yeah. I remember him too. Lets just go that way" I set off in the lead so I woulnd't have to see Percy's HAHA-I-win-and-you-lose face.

He jogged a couple feet to catch up with me "Hey, you want a corn-dog?"

"What? You don't even have any!"

"Sure I do." He stuck his hand in each of his back pockets and pulled out two corn-dogs per pocket. They had lint and string on them.

"No thanks, I prefer corn-dogs that haven't been rubbing against Percy's butt in his back pocket. Not to mention the fact that they are covered in lint!"

"Picky, picky, picky arn't we?" He started eating one of the corn-dogs

Ewww... how is Percy the oldest one on this trip? Seriously?"

"Hey you guys!" I heard Jo shout.

She came running towards us out of a dark alley with no other people in it.

Percy threw his hands up in the air over his head "What! We ran way farther than one block! Did you move Josh all by yourself?"

"Ha ha ha, no you guys ran past us about three times. They led you in circles." She giggled "Josh still still hasn't woken up yet, I can't figure out what's wrong with him." She reported suddenly getting serious.

We walked back to Josh and pooled all of our vast demigod knowledge together to figure out a way to wake him up, I mean come on, we were related to the gods for pete's sake! I'm pretty sure we can figure out how to wake a guy up!

Well, I was wrong

We ended up with Percy dumping dumping a cup of water on him and poking his forehead with a corn-dog.

Jo screamed in his ear until she lost her voice.

I gently slapped his face back and forth, then grabbed his shoulders and started shaking him as hard as I could, causing his head to fall back and forth, and back and forth.

In the end we ended up with a wet unconscious guy being carried between me and Percy, while Jo tried to locate a hotel for us to spend the night in.

After about half an hour later we were in room 122 on the second floor of  Nassua Hotel.

Jo was in the shower and me and Percy were sitting on the couch watching the only channel available which was playing a marathon of My Little Pony episodes.

Apparently the guy next door was stuck with this channel too because every once in a while we would hear a "No Rainbow dash! Don't abandon your friends! What about the magic of friendship?" or maybe a "Can't you see that isn't the real Princess Cadance, Twilight?!?!"

We had put Josh in one of the two beds. Me and Percy would be sleeping in the other, while Jo would sleep on the couch. It took allot of arguing to decide this.
