A Dreamer's Quest

X: I Wear Pajamas (Cold Coffee Rules)

Miranda left to get us our tickets. I was so excited. When she came she said

"We leave tomorrow morning Argus will drive us to the train station from then on were all alone"

Connor the poor fool attempted to lighten the mood

"Road trip! With my um best buds"

"Connor we rarely speak and last time I checked you threw a stink bomb at me!"

"I mean... I... I uh... I had to!"

"Oh really and why?"

"North made me"

"Let's not drag me into this lovebirds"

"SHUT UP"

I slowly backed away from my dear friends I ended bumping into the same Iris kid that gave me a nosebleed

"Can't you hear it?" I asked her

"Hear what?"

"Amor... And wedding bells"

"If they don't kill each other that is"

I laughed and walked off to go to bed.

Morning came like it does every day, unfortunately. I mean don't get me wrong I'm hyped about this quest but its morning. It's like if a random person just went up and gave you a hug then stabbed you. It's a win-lose situation. I walked over to the dining pavilion I saw Connor and Miranda were already there eating. They started staring at me

"What?"

"You forget to change"

"What are-"

I looked down I was still wearing my pajamas.

"You know this isn't the first time this hasn't happened"

I quickly walked away embarrassed.

I came back in my second comfiest clothing because my first was my pajamas. I was wearing a pair of jeans, a pair of purple converse, and a red t-shirt that said "Sarcasm- nature's defense against stupidity". I saw them packing up

"Really no food for me"

Connor handed me a to-go box

"Where did this come from

"I don't know and it's probably wise if we don't question it"

"Alright"

I opened it and saw pancakes and some butter.

"Did you get me an-"

He handed me a cup of coffee

"Ah ice cold just how I like it"

One second before we continue with the story: I LIKE MY COFFEE COLD FIGHT ME, WARM DRINKS DEHYDRATE ME AND JUST MAKE ME WANT SOMETHING ELSE. SO YES I LIKE COLD COFFEE. NOW ON WITH THE STORY.

"You know Coffee stunts your growth"

"Shhh, Miranda, just shhhhh, you will not insult coffee in front of me"

Also, I would like to point out that Connor and Miranda are 15 and I'm 13. I'm 5'5 I've been drinking coffee for like 4 years. It does not stunt my growth.

"Okay, whatever, let's go"

We climbed up to Thalia's old pine tree. I looked back at camp and looked at thoughtfully then yelled

"SO LONG IM OFF TO SANTA FE"

"Wow you're really not going to miss camp are you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about I'm practically in tears I just use this smile as my armor"

"Oh... Well that was quite blunt"

We climbed into the white van, now kids remember don't do this if you don't know the driver unless you ordered an Uber and they're your Uber then it's fine. Argus dropped us off at the train station

"Thank you Argus"

He grunted gruffly. We did the check in the thing where you show your ticket and all that boring stuff. We sat down in our compartment we put our stuff away I didn't have much stuff I barely even had a weapon, I had a knife I could barely use. I had no hand-eye coordination so I was lucky if I hit anything. I had my knife in my pocket though better safe than sorry. Oh and of course I had my pixie dust. Connor being the weirdo he is decided to not bring a sword or a dagger but a purse he got from Hermes and this purse has a huge amount of space for Connor to hide things like smoke bombs and marbles, now Connor sees this purse as a blessing and a curse it's great for pranks but he's too manly to wear a purse so he calls it a "man satchel". Miranda was an ironic child she decided that since she was a child of Demeter decided to pay homage to her mom by having her weapon be a ridiculously huge pair of hedge clippers she looked like she was ready to make a dinosaur bush.
