Notices had gone out to all and sundry, inviting both those who still lived on the island as well as those who'd moved away to come back for a dance at the Fandom Town community center, in celebration of the 43rd (give or take a day) anniversary of the original moon landing, as well as the wonderful summer they were having.

Once people arrived, they ( Read more... )

Percy didn't know what he was hoping to accomplish with this. He'd gotten it in his mind to invite Anna long to the beach with him to see why she was so angry about him and Luke (he thought the alternate universes would make that okay) and maybe just to talk to her without Aritaseus around, being bitter and tiny.

Now all that was needed were the guests and the talent ( Read more... )

The day had dawned crisp and clear, but by the time afternoon had rolled around... it was really still kind of ridiculously warm for fall. People could probably get away with not wearing a sweater, even ( Read more... )

There had been some weird stuff going down in the dorms so Percy decided it was time to get out of there for a little while. He'd gone down to the stables and collected Mrs. O'Leary and was now watching her rumble her way down the beach. Occasionally, she'd stomp her way into the water and splash around but she spent most of her time chasing ( Read more... )
