Ch 2

Swimming pools. All the food and soda I can indulge. Room service!

All of these were at the cruise ship, and more. I couldn't believe it! I didn't even have to buy a ticket, because Chiron manipulated the Mist so the mortals would think I bought a ticket already.

I was walking down the hallway to my room when a cast member came up to me. "Hiya, Percy!"

"Hey...Jack."

Jack was a half blood. A son of Apollo, actually. He was working undercover as a cast member, just to get me there. He was around 18. He fought in the Great Battle. His girlfriend, Nancy, was killed in the Battle of the Labrynth.

"We'll be in Japan in a bit."

"Thanks for telling me."

He smiled and left.

An hour later, I was standing in line to go outside.

I found a Japanese taxi. I said "Take me to Ouran Academy."

He stared at me blankly. I rolled my eyes and showed him a brochure for Ouran. He nodded and said something that sounded like "Man en , shi te kudasai."

I shook my head to show I don't understand. He got out a pencil and wrote "¥3000" on the brochure.

I flinched a bit, but then I remembered that one yen was worth about one penny, so 3,000 yen was about thirty dollars.

I got out my wallet and shuffled through my drachmas and American money. Finally, I got out a few coins and some bills. I handed them to the driver, and he drove me there.
I saw a huge gate out there, and a huge fountain with cherubim in it. I chuckled a bit at how much they reminded me of Mr. D.

I got out of the car, said "Arigatō." to thank the driver, took a deep breath, and entered the school.
