Sorry for the long update but, I hope this makes up for it. It's pretty long. I'm pretty sure Hermione's POV is messed up. I thought of the idea of making it like this from a TV show. Guess what show! Person who guesses it first gets a shoutout. Good luck.

Percy's POV

We trudged along the hot sticky road. I kicked a rock until, sadly, it fell off the cliff. "Hey... What if I fell off the cliff?" I asked. "How would you feel?" I asked having nothing else to say.
Phoebe blew a strand of hair out of her face and answered, "Well, it would be an unfortunate loss but, I wouldn't really mind and also, you would die,"
"Seriously? You wouldn't really care?" I asked.
"Not really, there are a million other annoying boys,"
"But I thought we were friends..."
I heard some footsteps from above.
"Not really, only acquaintances,"
"Then why'd you help me out on my quest?"
"Because of Thalia and she is the lieutenant,"
I rolled my eyes, sort of hurt though. "Well I would care if you were hurt," I said.
I heard a rustle of leaves coming from the random bush near the rocks but I ignored it.
"Of course you would, I am a very likable person," Phoebe said.
"Heh heh... Sure," I said.
"Was that sarcasm I heard?" Phoebe asked and stopped walking to turn and faced me.
"Of course it was," I said rolling my eyes.
"Well I am a likable person!" Phoebe argued.
Thalia coughed.
"Right Thalia?" Phoebe said.
"Umm..." Thalia said looking to the ground. "Sure..."
"Ugh!" Phoebe said raising her hands up to the sky.
"Let's just find Union cave," Phoebe said.
"Umm... About that," I said turning to face the giant drooling manticore.

4:21 (that's the time!)
7:30 (that's the time it is right now while I'm writing this! Don't make any theories about the time! It has nothing to do with anything! It does it?)
----
"Well, I haven't seen you in a while Dr. Thorn,"
"Yes, it has been a while Perseus," the manticore sneered. It reminded me of Draco. "But I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut this small get together short. Same with you Thalia and... Hmm... Oh right, Phoebe!"
"I have killed you many times in the hunt and I'm not afraid to do it again!" Phoebe said.
Thalia yawned. "This should be a piece of cake,"
"I like cake..." I said.
Phoebe and Thalia reached for their bows until, they realized they didn't have them! "It's up to you Percy! You better not mess up like at westover! Oh hey... There's a cliff." Thalia said.
"Oh great, our fate is in the hands of a boy," Phoebe whined behind me.
Thalia and Phoebe both slowly backed away. "This shouldn't be to hard," I said.
The manticore advanced and I jabbed in front of me, hitting the eye of the manticore. "Oww!" The manticore complained and backed away.
I strolled up to it while it screamed in pain. I sliced it and the manticore exploded into golden dust. "Well," I said touching the cap to the tip of the sword. "Like what that Staples commercial says. That was easy,"
Thalia sighed. "We need weapons just in case,"
"Yeah, we can't just rely on you-a boy- to fight off the monsters," Phoebe agreed
"Well how do we make weapons?" I asked.
"The old fashioned way that Zoë knew, with nature,"
There was a silence. "Well... That was dramatic," I said. "But how do we start?"
"We need to collect materials. We need a couple of rocks, branches or twigs, some leafs, and anything that seems useful," Phoebe said.
"That sounds like too much work,"
"Too bad boy!"
"We should work together, so we don't get lost,"
"I think we should split up, we could cover more ground. We just need a signal to meet,"
"I agree with Phoebe, as long as it's safe," Thalia said.
"Child," I said in a lecturing tone. "Nothing is safe, NOTHING!"
"Jeez," Thalia said. "Well, I got an idea, if we need help, just start a fire and let the smoke should show,"
I sighed. "Fine, we need a place to meet,"
"I'll stay here and just come back." Thalia said.
"Okay, let's begin!" Phoebe said and went the way we just came.
I sighed and started walking. I saw a twig and picked it up, I saw another one and picked it up I saw a pebble and didn't pick it up. This was going to take a while. After what seemed like a while, I looked back from where I had came. Luckily, I was still on the same path. I sighed wondering if I should go back. My arms were getting pretty full. Suddenly, I heard a scream.
