Percy's POV

"Hey. Where's the water fountain?" I asked.

"Why?" Alex asked.

"I wanna IM the camp." I said.

"What's IM? Instant Message?" Alex asked.

"Iris Message." Thalia said.

"What's that?" Alex asked.

"Oh right.. You've never used one before..." Jason said.

"It's a message using rainbows. A way for demigods to communicate. Kind of like webcam." Nico frowned. "But rainbows.."

"Do you really hate rainbows that much?" Alex laughed and Nico shrugged.

"It used to be controlled Iris, but now Fleecy does it too." Hazel said. "And Roman don't usually use it, though I think Iris lets a few slip."

"Why do you guys use a rainbow?" Alex asked. "Don't you have cellphones?"

"No. Only Annabeth has one. We aren't suppose to use cellphones cause monsters can track us.." I said.

"Oops.." Alex said and pulled out her phone. "I carry mine everywhere."

"We need to get rid of it.." Thalia said.

"What? No. It was from my mother.." Alex said.

"It'll endanger all of us.." Hazel said.

"You know we could just take out the SIM card." Nico said. "You can keep your phone."

"C'mon. Let's go." I said as the rest followed me.

We walked around, looking for a water fountain. I saw Crystal and Blackjack playing chase. I saw Arion and Tempest fighting for donuts. This place would be a great hangout, if it wasn't all that dangerous.

We finally found a water fountain and I took out a gold drachma. I turned the water system on, with my powers, because I can't find the knob.

"Watch." I told Alex. I threw in the drachma and said the line. "Oh Iris, Goddess of Rainbow, please accept my offering. Show me Annabeth Chase, Camp Half-Blood."

The mist started to form but then it dissolved in thin air. The drachma fell, clinging on the floor.

"What happened?" Thalia asked.

"It didn't work.." Jason said.

"How?" Nico said.

"Maybe Iris is busy?" Hazel said. "Try Fleecy."

"Ok." I said. I picked up the drachma. "Wait. Was was the line?"

"Oh Fleecy, do me a solid." Hazel said and the other snickered a laughter.

"Okay." I threw in the drachma. "Please work. Oh Fleecy, do me a solid. Show me Annabeth Chase, Camp Half-Blood."

The mist formed and showed us Annabeth. She was eating dinner in the mess hall, though she wasn't really eating. She was staring down at her food. The view showed the whole mess hall.

"Wise girl?" I called. She looked up and gleamed with joy.

"Percy!" She yelled. The whole mess hall stared at her, and us, the floating Iris message, but she didn't care and neither did I.

"Jason!" Piper yelled, running to Annabeth.

"Pipes!" Jason yelled behind me and I ducked.

"Hazel?" Frank called.

"Frank!" Hazel yelled.

"Are you guys done reuniting?" Thalia asked.

"Where are you guys?" Annabeth asked.
