Leo and I looked at Nico in a panic.

"We'll be fine." Nico said, though it sounded like he was mainly trying to convince himself. "Just give me 30 minutes to rest and I'll shadow travel back to camp."

"Bu-but...... Hazel...... McDonald's........ Chicken Nuggets........" Leo started whining.

"Well my goodness there's gotta be a McDonald's around here somewhere!" Nico said sarcastically, looking out at the darkening horizon. "Why! There isn't one in sight!" Nico turned and glared at Leo, who smiled innocently.

"C'mon guys! I mean that IS why we came here right?" Leo wailed.

"Leo I think it's safer if maybe we just head back to camp right after. That way we can avoid future accidents." I said, hoping it would calm him down even the slightest bit.

I seated myself on the blacktop. Leo and Nico followed me, not uttering a word.

We sat in silence. Time flew with the birds. The sun was sinking lower and lower on horizon, until finally the dark overwhelmed us.

"AHA!!!" Leo shrieked, making me leap higher than Olympus. He stood up, pacing like a madman. "Maybe we can walk to the city and find a McDonald's!"

Nico coughed to get Leo's attention. "You're missing three important factors. One, we're in the middle of nowhere. Two, I can barely stand. And three, it's dark."

"C'mon! Just one little try? Maybe......" Leo trailed off. He snapped his fingers. "I got it! Hazel can shadow travel us this time! Nico, tell her how!"

I stood up next to Nico, more still than an ice sculpture. I was afraid, yet Leo and Nico were depending on me. But I had no idea what I was doing.

"Ummmm..... Leo is that the best idea?" I asked.

His eyes sparkled menacingly. "All of my ideas are the best Hazel. How haven't you realized yet?"

"Umm, I don't know!" Nico said, clearly annoyed. "Maybe because she's sane!"

"Shut up di Angelo." Leo mumbled. " ANYWAY! Nico will you teach Hazel pleeeeeeeeeease?"

"I know how to, but I don't know how to TEACH someone. Does that make sense?" Nico asked.

"I guess, maybe you could help me then? I mean, you've rested for a little while now. You can just help me and we'll both do it." I politely stated. To he honest, Leo got me really excited about this "chicken nugget."

Nico looked at me like I had just been admitted into an insane asylum. Which was funny, because he'd called me sane no less than 5 minutes before.

"Fine." He sighed, causing Leo to jump for joy.

We all took hands and shadow traveled to (hopefully) McDonald's.

---Moments Later---

I didn't care where I was, what time it was, anything. I was absolutely exhausted. The second we got to our destination I fell on my knees an tried to rest a little. Nico fell next to me.

We were apparently in a small alley, which seemed to be in New York due to all the weird smells and all the tall apartment buildings surrounding us. And right there across the street was a McDonald's, fluorescent sign gleaming, beckoning to us to come and eat chicken nuggets.

"Whoa! We did it!" Leo exclaimed, smile so big it probably stretched from California to New York. He started doing his "happy dance," which is also a dance he calls "twerking." I consider it to be highly inappropriate, but I guess I'm not caught up in this century.

Nico looked as if he was about to regurgitate from Leo's dancing. "Valdez," Nico warned. "If you ever do that in my presence again, you and your twerking are going to Tartarus."

"Well!" Leo gasped in mock offense. "I see how it is!" He waited for us to say something, but Nico nor I dared utter a word.

"C'mon, guys, lets go." I said.

"You're not going anywhere Hazel Levesque and company."A female voice said behind us.

From the shadows, an empousa emerged.
