The summer was quite dull without Percy, Grover, Annabeth or Luke for Isa. But she still had other friends. She got even closer to the Stolls. (She was always close with them, always helping them with their pranks. According to the Stolls, she's an honorary Stoll sibling). She also got closer with Beckondorf, helping him in the forge. As well as Silena and Miranda. It felt good to have girl friends (aside from Annabeth).

Usually if she wasn't training which was almost every hour of everyday, you could find her with one of them. She also managed to avoid Clarisse and her siblings a lot of the time.

She surprisingly got better at archery over the year. The one training that Chiron mostly focused on aside from sword fighting since archery was her weakest category. She managed to shoot a bull's eye! Though Chiron believes it to be due to an accident but Isa doesn't care. What matters is that she got a bull's eye.

On August 28, her birthday, she got new rubber shoes from Percy and his mother (her favorite gift). It was some black adidas with the logo in bright blue as well as some parts in the back. Isa loved it and hoped that it didn't cost too much. Percy said she deserved it after her shoes were practically almost broke from their quest. Annabeth got her some candies and clothes (since some were getting short due to her new height), the Stolls stole some things from the camp store as her birthday gift, Beckondorf built her a beautiful blue picture frame which she used to frame a picture of her and Percy that they took together during the summer in front of the beach on Fourth of July. Silena and Miranda made her a hand woven bracelet with a shell as a charm. Then from Chiron she got a blue birthday cupcake! 

That's what her and Percy found out over the summer

That's what her and Percy found out over the summer. They share the trait of liking blue food. Percy said he found out when it was to prove to Smelly Gabe that blue food is really. Isa started liking blue food because when she was younger, the campers had a hard time feeding her and it was important due to how malnourished she was. So someone from the Athena cabin suggested that some parents color their kids food their favorite color to make them eat. So that's what they did and it worked. 

Then at bonfire, they sang her happy birthday... again but this time altogether as a camp.


Then September came. Nothing happened... just training even more with Chiron... no surprises there. She got even better at sword fighting, Chiron said she was one of the best fighters he's ever trained. Isa was honored and blushed from it. She also got another bull's eye! But somehow she shot someone who was behind her in the foot. And it just so happened that the camper was an Ares kid. She also started surfboarding again. Isa learned how to surfboard when she was five and mastered it at six. She stopped when she went on the quest of course, and didn't get back on till now.


Then October passed. Again... nothing happened. She trained. Got five more bull's eye. According to Chiron, she was getting better... actually hitting targets. She trained in sword fighting, learned more about Greek Mythology with Malcolm from the Athens cabin just to brush up on it. She helped Beckondorf in the forge, getting better and having a better understanding of what the tools do and how to use it. She helped the Stolls prank other on more than one occasions. And she continued surfing during her free time.
