  "Oh, hey, Blackjack," said Annabeth, sounding bummed out. She'd also been searching for Blackjack's boss. Of course she had. She was the boss's girlfriend after all.

  Hey, Annie, Blackjack greeted before he remembered she couldn't understand him. She must've just heard him whinny.

  "Uh, yeah, okay. See you later, I guess," said Annie. She started to walk away, but Blackjack stopped her. He jumped in front of her and whinnied, trying to get her to understand.

  Blackjack wanted them to work together to search for the boss. Annie stared at him in confusion. Blackjack gestured with his front hoof from him to her and then to the picture of the boss he knew she kept in her pocket.

  "You...want us....to work...together?" she asked. Blackjack nodded with a whinny. She pondered this for a moment before shrugging. "I guess we could give it a shot."

  And that's how they both ended up on Mount Othrys (A/N Did I spell that right?), surrounded by hundreds of monsters and fighting for their lives.

  Blackjack would have snatched Annie up and flown away ages ago, but every time he tried, the monsters would stop him somehow.

  They must've been fighting for an hour now but the crowd of monsters had hardly thinned. Annie was doing a good job with her dagger, but Blackjack had no weapons to fight with. All he had were hooves. And they didn't really do much.

  They had almost been overwhelmed when something started barreling towards them, sending monsters up in the air. A hellhound the size of a tank bounded forwards, slobber flying everywhere.

  Hey, hey, hey! she greeted cheerfully. She knew that the boss was missing, had been searching for him as well, but she managed to remain as happy as before.

  Need some help? she asked, even though it was apparent they needed all the help they could get.

  Uh, isn't it obvious? said Blackjack, knocking out a monster with a hoof to the head.

   I was just asking, Lea shrugged. (A/N In case you couldn't figure it out, which is impossible, it's Mrs O'leary. But Blackjack's too lazy to say her entire name so he gave her a nickname)

  Annie had been watching us for the three minutes we'd been talking, killing monsters without even looking at them. That was how badass she was.

  Within five minutes, most of the monsters were on the ground, covered with Lea's slobber. The remaining monsters were running away as fast as they could.

  So....you guys hungry? asked Blackjack, even though Annie couldn't understand him, she must've heard his stomach growl like a dying whale.

  "Let's go get some donuts," she said, climbing onto Blackjack's back.

  You want a donut, Lea? Blackjack asked.

  I've never had one before so yes, I want a donut.

  Meet you at the closest Dunkin' Donuts.

  Blackjack spread his wings and took off towards the building with the Dunkin' Donuts logo on the front. Soon, he was munching on a donut with Annie and Lea in the park.

  People kept staring at them as they walked past, which was normal. There was no telling what they saw them as, but it must've been strange if they were staring. Every time someone started staring at them, Blackjack and Lea would scare them by whinnying or growling at them without warning, and then laugh at their expressions as they hurried away.

  If only the boss were with them. It would be a lot more fun. Annie was cool and all, but she couldn't understand him and that made it extremely difficult to communicate.

  Just as Blackjack finished his donut, he spotted a guy with messy black hair watching them from far away. He looked oddly familiar, and Blackjack could tell from the guy's expression that he thought he looked familiar too.

  And that's when Blackjack finally realised, that was his boss.
Well, that was quick, eh? He already spotted Percy. Too bad he lost his–I mean, no! He didn't lose anything. No, no, he still remembers who he is. DARN IT. I spoiled it already. Yup, he lost his memory. I'm sorry. Hehe. Not really. Man, I sure hope nobody (tikachi) takes revenge on me by writing a chapter that would break my feelz.
