I awoke with a huge adrenaline rush. "Whoa!" I looked around for a bit. "Where are we?" I saw that our raft was docked next to a submarine, a helicopter, a few dugout canoes, a hot air balloon, a WWII bomber plane, a dented metal rowboat, and a Pirate ship.

I nudged Ethan awake. "Ethan get up, come on." I rose to my feet and grabbed my bag.

"Five more minutes," he groaned.

I was about to shove him into the water when a lady approached us. She was dressed in a blue business suit, perfect makeup and blond hair pulled back in a ponytail. She was also carrying a clipboard.

"Is this your first time with us?" The lady asked.

"What?" Ethan sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"First-time-at-spa." The lady wrote, her tongue escaping to the corner of her mouth. "Let's see.....an herbal wrap for the young lady and a full makeover for the young gentleman." She chirped.

"A what-now?" I was having trouble following.

"What are you babbling about, lady?" Asked Ethan.

"C.C will want to speak with you before the luau begins. Please follow me." She walked swiftly to the white marble gardens above the docks.

"What's she talking about?"

"Something about a spa?" I shrugged. "Never mind. If Annabeth, Percy, and Tyson are here we had better find them."

Ethan stood up and slung his backpack over one shoulder. We sauntered up the side of the mountain.

There was white marble and blue water everywhere. Terraces climbed up the mountain, swimming pools connected by slides and waterfalls were on every level. Fountains sprayed water into the air forming impossible shapes like flying birds and galloping horses.

"What the-." Ethan gawked at something napping in a stack of beach towels.

"Is that a turtle?" I looked at something napping on a diving board. "And a leopard."

"Tame animals?" Ethan stared. "This is officially getting weird." He said quickly.

The only guests were young women as far as I could see. They were getting all sorts of spa-ish things done to them, but there was not one guy.

"Where are all the dudes?" I asked.

"Hopefully on the next island over watching the 49-ers game." Said Ethan. "Why? Are you interested in someone other than me?" He grinned and raised an eyebrow.

I hit him in the chest lightly. He wrapped a hand around my waist and pulled me in for a kiss. I ran a hand along his jawline and held his shoulders.

The blond lady gawked at us while we were making out. "Hm-mm!" She coughed. We let go of each other and walked hand-in-hand to a building marked "recreational offices." I heard singing. It was in a really old language I didn't understand.

"Minoan." Ethan looked around, trying to identify the voice. We walked through the doorway where a bear with spectacles appeared to be the receptionist. We walked further and entered another room. The back wall was covered in mirrors and the front wall was covered in windows.

There was lots of expensive looking white furniture and a small cage of guinea pigs squealing in one corner. There was a loom the size of a big-screen-TV and a lady with a black dress and hair braided with gold sat at it, weaving and singing.

"Who's Snow White over there?" I muttered to Ethan who pulled me tight against him. "No idea." He answered.

I really had to brush up on my Greek mythology.
