I woke up this morning to a suitcase zipping shut.
"Good morning sleepy." Pollux smiled grimly. I yawned sitting up and running my fingers through my hair.
"What time is it?"
"About nine. There's lots of time to say good-bye."
"Oh, good! Let me get dressed." I got out some clothes and walked into the bathroom to change. When I walked out, Pollux was by the door with a medium sized suitcase. He was dressed in simple blue jeans and jacket.
"C'mon, let's go say our good-byes." We walked outside and saw campers walking with bags over Half-Blood Hill to take a shuttle to the airport, others were walking up over the hill, and many were saying their goodbyes until summer. I spotted Darcy carrying a small bag to the Big House.
"Hey, Darcy!" I waved. She turned and walked to meet me, leaving her suitcase behind her.
"Oh Mia, I'm going to miss you!" Darcy said pulling me into a hug.
"Me too." I replied, hugging her back.
"Darcy, what time do you leave?" Pollux interupted.
"Umm, about ten to go into the city."
"Me too."
"Great, now you two have each other to keep company." I said cheerfully.
"I hope you're not happy to see us go." Darcy said.
"Of course not! I'll be so lonely." I frowned, looking towards the ground.
"Well you better." Pollux said teasingly.
After rolling my eyes at Pollux I replied, "I can't wait until summer. Then I can see all of you again."
"Yeah. Hey, do you know where Will is?" Pollux asked Darcy.
"No, I haven't seen him yet. He might of already left, or he's getting his siblings in line." Darcy told Pollux.
"Alright. I'm going to take my stuff down to the Big House to load, let me take your bag too, Darcy." Pollux held out his hand for Darcy's bag, which she pointed to about twenty feet behind her causing him to lower his head and sigh.
"Thanks. If we see Will, we'll tell him that your looking for him." Darcy said patting his shoulder.
"Alrighty now, let's go find Will for Pollux" I said and together we walked back down to cabins.

"Guys! Come on! We have to get this cabin all nice and cleaned up before we go!" Miranda said as we walked past her cabin. Her sister Katie was scolding a boy who had candy wrappers under his bunk.
"Jeez. Thank gods it's only Pollux and me in our cabin." I said raising an eyebrow at the confusion.
"Well aren't you lucky. You don't have to watch your stuff all the time." Darcy said annoyed.
"Yeah? So I'll be here all by myself with nothing to do?" I asked.
"Pretty much. But you should come visit me over spring break! I only live in New Jersey, so it's only a short drive!" Darcy exclaimed excited grabbing my hand.
"That sounds really fun, but Pollux said he might come and visit me during spring break." I replied.
"Oh. Well you don't have to stay the whole week, just a day or two!"
"Sure." I smiled. We walked up to the Apollo cabin only to find a dispute going on.
"HEY! NO! Thats my guitar pick!" a guy shouted.
