SADIE:

Have you ever met a human Wikipedia other than my brother?

I did. She called herself Annabeth. She and a boy, probably wearing the same orange t shirt.

(What it is with these couple thingies? Maybe I shouldn't say that since Walt and I have those twin shen amulets, but amulets? Cool. Matching t shirts? It's a bit too much, don't you think?)

Amos had told us to avoid Manhattan, but Carter wanted to take Zia to a mall (again), so I dragged Walt along. We sort of just bumped into Matching-t shirts-Couple. Literally. I just thought I saw a store selling Ribena, and BAM! Her boyfriend slammed into me.

"Watch it, Percy!" she said and pulled her boyfriend up. Then she turned to me.

The girl wore jeans and the orange t shirt with strange looking beads around her neck. Her blond hair was tied back in a ponytail and her gray eyes sparkled at me.

"Sorry about my boyfriend, he's a bit of an idiot." She said with a wink.

"Hey," the guy, Percy, protested.

Annabeth turned back to him and fixed his bead necklace. "You know it's true, Seaweed Brain."

I thought that 'Seaweed Brain' was a strange name for your boyfriend, but I shrugged it off and said, "It's cool, no worries."

I continued down the lane (without out getting the Ribena, I'll have you know) where Carter and Zia were waiting, back from their little date. No doubt Carter dragged Zia into Barnes & Nobles. Poor girl.

[What? I'm just being truthful!]

But I have to say, when I first met Zia "I'm-So-Magical" Rashid in the Brooklyn Museum, I really didn't like her. But then when her shabti cracked (long story) and we saved the real Zia from her tomb (don't ask), it turned out she wasn't all that bad. She looked way better after our battle with Apophis, the chaos snake (don't even start) and was now dressed in a yellow cotton dress. And Carter actually looked like a real teenager now, wearing a t shirt over jeans and Reeboks.

That's when I turned to Walt, but he was too busy ogling at at Percy's bead necklace. Ever since he merged with the god Anubis, he kinda gave up his charm-making, but he was still super interested in them and wore his usual array of amulets around his neck. When I walked back to him, he pointed at the boy's necklace.

"Hey, Sadie, that's like a charm or something. It's strange but pretty awesome. I mean, just look at the designs and-"

"Lovely," I interrupted. "Now come on, let's go." I pulled his arm.

But Percy spoke now.

"Don't be ridiculous. It's not a charm, it's my-" Annabeth elbowed him before he could finish.

He hesitated for awhile but then obviously thought of something else to say. "Dude, how many amulets do you have on? Looks a bit stupid on you actually, man, no offense."

Walt's awe quickly turned into anger. Nobody insults Walt's amulet-making skills. I cut him off before he could say anything else.

"Stupid, eh?" I winked at Walt. "Walt, don't you think Katrina would just simply love our, ah, friends' hair? It's been quite a long time since you've fed her."

I know, I know, it was a bit irresponsible of me, but those two mortals were seriously getting on my nerves. I looked at Walt for an answer.

He looked super serious now. "Sadie, are you mad?"
