Okay, so I lied a little. I don't have a date date. I do have a date with the buffet table at Genges. And it's going to be spicy.

However, on a slightly more disturbing note, when I broke down the door to the room where it was assumed they were holding the two demigods and possibly a satyr, all I could see was a girl and a boy floating in stasis tanks, suspended within them. Not good.

Behind me the stunned Averages were starting to come back around. I had to move fast. Grabbing the tanks I flashed back to my beachside . . . well it wasn't exactly a mansion, but it was close too.

That was my first mistake. Of course, stasis tanks need to be plugged in, and when you teleport them away the broken cords start leaking radioactive goop.

My second mistake was forgetting the fact that when in a stasis tank, you are, technically, not touching said tank. Basically, I gained two goop dripping glass tanks and zero demigods. Great.

It was a bit late to go and get them, the Averages would be back to averaging by now, besides, I had a date with a buffet table.

Not wanting to be late, I threw on a CHB shirt and some jeans, then remembered Wills advice; never wear a tie an orange shirt. So naturally I threw on a black and white checkered tie and stormed out the door. And then stormed back in because I didn't have any underwear on. After finding two discarded things on the ground I put them on.

And headed to my date with that food.

Waiting patiently for my uber I got in and we drove to the restaurant in almost complete silence, before I got out and went to pay him, he nervously looked at me, "are you . . . a greek?"

I looked at him, smiling, "buddy, I am the greek."

He recognised me immediately, or maybe he thought I was super drunk, and drove off without payment. Oh well, free ride.

As I walked in through the swinging doors, I walked over to the 'Dare Enterprises,' table, to thank Rachel for inviting me. Her parents had both met a mysterious death around the same time the head of Medusa went missing, and she accumulated two life like statues of them; in tribute to their lives. No one questioned it.

But when Percy reached the table sitting next to Rachel was a cute blond dude she could swear she'd seen somewhere before. He looked kind of like Jason on steroids.

And, like, alot of steroids.

Minus the glasses.

He had the same I don't know what the heck I'm doing here look.

And then he saw me.

And in the split second his demeanor changed. And I recognised him. One of the Averages was here socialising with my friend.

"Duck Rachel!" He shouted to her. "I've seen this girl before - she's probably here to kill you. EVERYONE TAKE COVER!"

He pulled himself up and over the table he was sitting at to stand in front of me, who had three deep fried shrimp drizzled in chocolate in my mouth. I tried to say back off through the shrimp, but I just ended up spitting two in his face. It had the same effect.

He turned back to see if everyone had backed off. Most had. Aside from Rachel who was smiling at me. "You came!"

She sent me one of her sincere smiles that creeped me out. (She had so many dimples it shouldn't have been physically possible.)

"Yeah, I couldn't miss your debut in the business industry, RED. Plus, free food, am I right?"

"Can you like?" She raised an eyebrow instead of continuing, which could have meant a number of things such as; not eat. Conjur my own food. Act more refined.

Any of which would have been true.

"Inner poor kid, right here." I waved my hand in front of her and picked up some deep fried ice cream balls.

She smiled.

Mr Averages eyes flicked between me and RED.

"Do you two know each other?"
