The quick updates are so the one I published in Wattpad would have all the chapters I have already published in Quotev. I update on Monday and Friday :)

On with the chapter!

Zoe drove continuing to the south to D.C. 

For all her time spending her summer break in the states, she's never gone to places other than where her quest takes her or she stays at camp in Long Island. During her quests, she'd watch over the view she'd get. Some were good but others can bring her stomach upset in an instant should she try and recall it. With Zoe driving, she took the time to see the places from the car windows. 

The van started to slow down. They crossed the Potomac River into central Washington. Zoe parked the van a few blocks away from the Washington Monument.

Everyone got out from the van after she parked on the curb. 

"C'mon," Grover said as he pointed toward one of the big buildings lining the Mall. Thalia nodded ad the five of them trudged off into the cold wind. 

Grover led the group into the mall and around. He only stopped when he was in front of a big building that said NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM. The Smithsonian! 

Woah, she thought as she looked at the sign. She's always wanted to go here but hadn't had the chance yet. She was glad this quest brought her to the museum. 

Thalia checked the door. It was open, but there weren't many people going in. Too cold, and school was out of session. They slipped inside. 

Once inside, she drank in the sights before her. Huge planes of every type and sizes were hung above their heads. Some were placed on the ground and the closer she approached the plane, she smaller she felt. The little amount of people there was milling around. She spotted a family admiring a plane. They walked around and to her excitement, she saw a rocket displayed on the ground. An astronaut suit was on display next to it. There was a passage she presumed was about the rocket. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to check as she was pulled along by Zoe.

New problem, she thought. Before long, her brain has came up with scenarios of her becoming an aeronautical engineering. It fueled the dream of hers making her conflicted as to what she was to be in the future. That is, if she lived.

Thalia was run over. Someone was barreling up the ramp to the top-floor balcony and slammed into Thalia, knocking her into an Apollo space capsule.

Grover yelped. And Elora might have let out an undistinguishable noise. The capsule, she thought weakly.

Before the person could regain his balance, Zoe and Bianca had arrows notched and aimed. 

"Percy?" Elora said in bewilderment. "How are you here?"

"You!" Zoe exclaimed. "How dare you show thy face here?"

"Percy!" Grover said. "Thank goodness."

Zoe glared at Grover and he blushed. "I mean, um, gosh. You're not supposed to be here!"
