The Poodle Predicament
Let's face it, our trio wasn't exactly rolling in dough. Demigods, as it turns out, don't get a great student loan rate. So, when they needed to hit the road for a quest as epic as finding the Underworld, their transportation options were as glamorous as a Cerberus-infested subway.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
Enter Gladiola. This pampered pooch was, to put it mildly, not having a good time. Kidnapped from his life of luxury, he was living the rough life of a demigod sidekick. But as it turns out, even poodles have their silver linings.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
The Pawsome Plan
Annabeth, the brains of the operation, came up with a plan as brilliant as Athena herself. They would return Gladiola to his wealthy owners in exchange for a hefty reward. It was a risky proposition, considering the poodle's previous aversion to dirt and danger, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
Gladiola, to everyone's surprise, was surprisingly game. Maybe he missed his fancy life, or maybe he'd developed a strange fondness for his dysfunctional new family. Whatever the reason, he agreed to play along.
Tip: Write down what you learned.

The Great Escape
With Gladiola safely tucked under Percy's arm, the trio embarked on a cross-country adventure that would make any reality TV show producer weep with envy. They faced everything from angry harpies to overly enthusiastic centaurs. And let's not forget the time Grover tried to convince a flock of pigeons to pull their chariot.
Finally, they reached the gilded gates of Gladiola's mansion. It was a sight to behold. Gold-plated doghouses, a personal chef, and a wardrobe that would make even a fashionista blush. But the real prize was in the owner's trembling hands - a wad of cash that would buy them train tickets to LA and a few snacks.
The Happy Ending (Sort Of)
And so, our heroes boarded a train, leaving behind a very relieved poodle and a hefty dose of adventure. As for Gladiola? Well, let's just say he probably got a spa day to recover from his ordeal. And maybe a tiny, gold-plated collar engraved with the words "World's Most Badass Poodle."
