[The sky was now darkened by the sun setting. Amara pulled up and parked outside the studio. As the car stopped everyone present looked at her wide eyes making her look at them in confusion]
Amara: What? [she asked]

Phil and James both sigh at past Amara, both remembering how far she's truly came.

[They all blinked away their baffleness and shook their head making her shrug her shoulders]
[They all got out the car looking up at the building. The golden letters etched in black marble: DOA RECORDING STUIOS]
[The lobby was brightly lit and full of people. Behind the security desk sat a tough looking guard with sunglasses and an ear piece]
Percy: okay. You remember the plan? [He asked the group. They came up with a plan on the Journey there]
Grover: The plan [he gulped]

"Make the plan. Execute the plan. Expect the plan to go off the rails. Throw away the plan" Both James and Amara said.
Those who knew the reference laughed ignoring the weird looks.

Percy even though he knew the reference looked deep in thought before nodded and shrugging. Yeah, sounded right.

Annabeth: Yeah. I love the plan. What happens if you plan doesn't work?
Percy: Don't think negative
Annabeth: Right, we're entering the land of the dead, and i shouldn't think negative
[Amara stayed silent as she watched the group talk]

"Don't fear the dead only the living" Amara said with a shrug.
This did not help put anyone at ease.
Hades and Nico nodded in somewhat agreement with Amara.

[Percy pulled out four pearls from his pocket looking down at them. Amara looked over at him following his slight of sight. As she saw the four pearls she clenched her jaw and looked away]

"Wait" Daph draws out counting the amount of pearls in Percys hand figuring out why Amara clenched her jaw.
"Yup' Amara replied with a bitter undertone.

Amara: Come on, lets get your mom and master bolt and get yous out of here
[Nobody noticed her wording but all nodded]

Those who did notice her wording looked muddled.
"Cub why did you say you's instead of just get out of here" Remus asked in worry,
"I'm sure it will be shown why soon moony" Amara replied. Daph knowing why looked at her in sympathy.

[Percy nodded then pocketed the pearls]
Percy: Lets whip some underworld butt
[Amara looked at him in amusement as they walked into the lobby]

Light chuckles passed through the hall.

[Muzak music played softly on hidden speakers. The carpet and walls were steel gray. Pencil cactuses grew in the corners like skeleton hands. The furniture was black leather, and every seat was taken. There were people sitting on couches, people standing up, people staring out of the window or waiting for the elevator. Nobody moved, or talked, or did much of anything. The security guards desk was a raised podium so the group had to look up at him]

Almost everyone sat forwards in their seats wanting to get a better look of what the entrance of the underworld looks like.

Percy: Your names is Chiron? [He asked be-willed]

Chiron's face went blank, clearly showing that he was not amused.

Poseidon sighed heavily at this point.

[Amara's lips twitched where she stood at the back of the group. The guard smiled, a sickly sweet yet cold]
Charon: What a precious young lad. Tell me mate, do i look like a centaur?
Percy: N-no
Charon: Sir [he added smoothly]
Percy: sir
[charon pinched the name tag and ran his fingers under the letters]
Charon: Can you read this, mate? It says C-H-A-R-O-N. Say it with me, CARE-ON
Percy: Charon
Charon: Amzing! No: Mr Charon
Percy: Mr. Charon
