This choice: All of them!! (Percy, Leo, Jason, Frank) • Go Back...Chapter #3All of them!! (Percy, Leo, Jason, Frank) by: Dia After the Argo II landed at Camp Jupiter, Percy suggested that the guys go eat at a restaurant in New Rome. They went to a place called Pasta, Pasta, and More Pasta.
"So your Percy?" asked Jason. Percy nodded. "Sorry about taking your position as praetor. Reyna said they needed another." Jason shrugged. "Ah, don't worry about it." Leo started laughing. "Dude, he takes your job and your house, and all you say is 'don't worry about it'?!" Jason looked at Leo. "Does it really matter?" he asked. "Leo held his hands up in submission. "Hey, don't blame me, it sounded funny." Frank gave Leo a high-five. "You're great, man," he said to Leo.
They walked into the restaurant and they quickly got a table. Percy looked at the menu and saw a "pasta platter supreme." "He guys," he said. "Why don't we get this? It has every type of pasta in here, and because Jason and I are praetors, everything's free." Everyone nodded. Leo put on a fake Italian accent. "Bring-a on-a de pasta!" Then he and Frank started cracking up again.
The waitress came up, and they ordered four Diet Cokes and the Pasta Platter Supreme. After a few minutes, the waitress came back with their sodas, and the pasta platter. "Whoa," said Leo. "That's a LOT of pasta." He wasn't lying. The platter had huge bowls filled with every type of pasta you can imagine. They all gapped at the platter. Finally, Percy picked up a bowl and put some Ziti on his plate. He forked some and put in his mouth. "Oh, my gods," he said with his mouth full. "This is the best pasta I've ever had!" Every one else tried some too, and they all agreed. They filled their bowls with as much assorted pasta as possible, and then chowed down.

Two hours later, Percy leaned back from the table. "I am stuffed!" he declared. Leo burped in agreement. "I can't eat another bite!" Frank cradled his swollen stomach. "I can't believe we ate it all!" Jason hiccuped. "But it was -hic!- so good!" Each of them sported a rounded out stomach. The waitress walked over to drop the dessert menu on the table. Percy picked it up and saw something called a "Baklava Sundae Platter." "Waitress!" he called. "Can a get a small sample of this?" She came back with a small spoon with a little honey colored pastry and soft-serve ice cream. "He tasted it. "Oh, wow, this is good." Jason moaned. "Oh, don't tell me you're going to eat more?" Percy ordered the Baklava Sundae Platter. "Yep, you are," Jason answered himself. "No," said Percy. "So are we. You've got to have this.
The waitress returned with a platter just smalled than the Pasta platter. This had slices of the pastry in a large bowl in the middle, and various ice cream flavors on the outside. Percy forced every one to try just a spoonful. Each of them did, and instantly grabbed a bowl and filled it with some baklava and ice cream.
