Percy POV
AT LAST! I HAVE ESCAPED THE EVIL BOX OF METAL!
I took in grateful gulps of fresh, land air and danced around in celebration.
My mother laughed. "Percy, it was twelve hours. You basically sleep that long during the weekends."
I fake-gasped. "Mom, you do not know the powers of ADHD! Always trying to get you to run around like a crazy person-"
"Percy, dear, you were running around like a crazy person."
"-Also, there's that big guy in the sky! Just give him a reason to be mad and zip zap zop, I'm a pile of ash."
"I'm sorry honey, but we had to hurry. My new boss called a meeting as soon as I responded to his offer. Otherwise I would've asked your father to arrange us a nice long cruise or something like that to get here."
I huffed. "But we could've mist-traveled here!"
"Oh no, we can't use that unreliable way. Last time you ended up in China!"
"That was an accident!"
"Exactly! That's what makes it unreliable!"
I stuck my tongue out at her and she laughed, placing her arm around my shoulders and squeezing it lightly.
"Oh, cheer up. I'll get you a pizza when we get home."
It was exactly 3 hours later when we finally got to our new home. It took us a while to find a taxi and there was a bicycle marathon thing going on that day and most of the roads were blocked, resulting in the taxi driver getting lost and going in circles like 30 times. (This actually happened to me and my family when we went to London to visit our friend. We were 4 hours late for the party.)
Eventually when we got to our apartment we had our pizza as promised and then crashed into our beds, instantly going to sleep.

Heyo people! Sorry for not updating for a while! To make up for it I decided to update a few chapters at once. I can just put them together in one long chapter, but more chapters make me feel better.
