Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see.- Angelina Jolie

Soon we arrived at Auntie Em's Garden Emporium in Leeds Point and we split up. I noticed a bunch of statues and felt a shake run through me.

"Leave." A voice whispered.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Run now, you are in danger." The voice said again.

I looked around and when I didn't see anyone I shook my head.

"What is going on?" I asked confused.

"You are in Medusa's lair. Leave now Rachel, she will kill you." The voice said quickly.

I froze and I quickly took off running. I bumped into someone and quickly closed my eyes.

"Well well if it isn't the daughter of Zeus." A voice said.

"What do you want?" I asked as I kept my eyes closed.

"To have friends.... don't yo want to be my friend? Come on.... open your eyes.... I hear they are as grey as the clouds." She whispered.

I felt something pinch my cheek and I let out a gulp. Soon I heard a sound and heard her walk away. I felt a arm grab me and I turned towards it.

"It's me Grover. Let's go." He whispered.

We ran away and made it to a car and we ran into the garden house.

"Nice driving." I said a so kept my eyes close.

"You can open your eyes." Percy said.

"Thank God." I said a so got out of the car.

I laughed as Percy had Grover pick up the head and then we drove to a motel.

"Where to next?" I asked as I set on the bed.

"Parthenon it is in Nashville." Grover said softly.

"Percy and Annabeth are to cute together. I can't wait until they end up together." I said with a smile.

"Yea.... so what is with you and Luke? Are you guys just a thing or.... more?" He asked softly.

"I like to think we are more." I said softly.

"Cool.... happy for you." He said softly.

"You don't sound happy." I said softly.

"I am..... I just.... it's nothing." He said as he laid on the bed.

"If you say so." I said as I closed my eyes.

I was woke up soon by Grover shaking me.

"What?" I asked a so set up.

"We have to go." He said quickly.

We soon left and I let out a sigh as I laid my head on Grover's shoulder and fell asleep. When I woke up it was to him shaking me gently.

"Come on we are here." He said softly.

"Okay." I said softly.

He sent me a smile and we walked into the museum.

"Look it's your mom." Percy said softly.

"Yea." Annabeth said softly.

"And the pearl." I said pointing to the top.

"We can't get it now. We will have to wait until morning." Percy said softly.

"I could just throw my crutches up there and-"

"Come on Grover." I said with a laugh as I dragged him away.

We hid in the bathroom and then snuck out. I smiled as we made it to the pearl and Percy flew up to it with the flying shoes that Luke gave him.

"That is amazing." I said cheerfully.

I smiled as he landed and handed the pearl to me. Soon we went to leave and the janitors got back up.

"Percy.... they aren't janitors." I said as I looked at them.

"What do you mean?" He asked confused.

"They are the Hydra." I said as I backed away.

They soon changed and I hid behind a pillar. I gasped as I felt pain on my arm and I held it against me. Soon Grover took it Medusa's head and turned it to stone. I let out a sigh as he put her head down and rushed to my side.

"Let me see." He said softly.

He looked it over and let out a sigh.

"It will heal.... but you need to wrap it up." He said as he went through his bag.

He grabbed some bandages and I smiled as he gently bandages my arm.

"You can add pressure I'm not glass Grover." I said with a laugh.

"I don't want to hurt you." He said as he finished it up.

I sent him a smile and then Percy opened to the map up to find out next destination.

"Lotus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Oh my god I have always wanted to go!" I exclaimed happily.

"Well looks like we are going there." Grover said with a smile.

"I can we stay for a little bit? Please?" I asked hopefully.

"We might. Just depends on how much time it takes to get there and to get the pearl." Percy said softly.

"Don't worry I got this." Grover said with a wink.

I laughed as he went faster and a couple hours later we arrived at the Lotus Hotel and Casino. We parked and I smiled as they gave us lotus flowers and I took a bite out of it.

"Wow! This is amazing!" I exclaimed happily.

I soon forgot why I was there and I laughed as Grover dragged me with him. We started bidding and then after winning for a third time we stopped and set on a couch. I laughed as I laid my head on him and closed my eyes. I felt him run his fingers through my hair and then I set up when they brought us a lotus flower.

"I love it here." I said softly.

"I love you." He said softly.

"What?" I asked shocked.

"I love you." He said before he leaned down and kissed me.

I felt my eyes close as I moved my arms around his neck and kissed him back. He pulled me on his lap and I smiled as I kissed him deeply.

"Rachel you must wake up. Don't eat anymore of the fruit." A voice said.

I pulled away from Grover quickly and then it hit me.

"Oh god! I just... we just! I have a boyfriend!" I exclaimed as I covered my mouth.

"So? What does he have that I don't? I've loved you since we met!" He snapped angrily.

"Grover-"

"Guys we have to go!" Percy said as he and Annabeth rushed up to us.

"Why?" Grover asked sternly.

"We are trapped here. They are keeping us here with the fruit." Annabeth explained.

We soon escaped with the pearl and I let out a sigh as I set in the passenger seat beside Grover. We learned we had been in the casino for five days.

"Where to next?" I asked softly.

"Hollywood." Percy said softly.

I looked over to see Grover concentrating on the road and I then looked down at my hands.
