After I watched Percy fill a glass with Blue Cherry Coke, I chose the same. Another thing Percy and I have in common is our favorite drinks. And colors.
The food they served was amazing. We ate the juiciest steak, and sweetest strawberries. I offered Poseidon a bushel of grapes, and I hoped he'd have my back.
Rose stayed in Hermes for awhile. Until one day, at the deadly rock wall, she fell, and landed in the lava, but, instead of sizzling to a crisp, she stood up, brushed the soot off, and walked away. Rose was unaware of the giant symbol of Hades above her head, until I nudged her arm, and pointed up,

"You better hope he forgives you. But, then again, Ares aren't the forgiving type. He's probably planning your death right now." Percy said.
"Great," I said sarcastically.
