AN: Percy, undoubtedly, would make the best Dad ever. Just thought I'd point that out.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own PJATO.
''Daddy can't catch me!"
"Daddy can't catch me'', yelled the little toddler with blonde curls and green eyes, as her father chased her around their little apartment in down town Manhattan.
Daddy ca-aah!''
"Wanna change your statement a bit now, would ya? How -bout 'daddy can catch me!', Cassy?'' said Percy to his three year old daughter, scooping her up into his arms.
''Kids, dinner's ready!'',called a tired Annabeth, who had spent most part of the evening trying to conjure up a healthy dinner meal for once.
''I'm not a kid," replied Percy, walking into the small kitchen-cum-dining room and placing Cassandra on the kitchen island.
Annabeth snorted. "From the way you're behaving, somebody could be easily mistaken."
Percy pouted. "Well, that makes you a pedo-"
Annabeth coughed loudly and directed her gaze at Cassy who was hearing the exchange between her parents with interest.
''Mummy, what's that slimy green thing on our food plates?''asked Cassy innocently.
''Yeah, I study lotsa sea anemone at work (AN:percy being a marine biologist) but I prefer those slimy things in the jars at the lab, not on my dinner plate,"added Percy.
''Oh come on! It's just some healthy stuff. You know, veggies,''said Annabeth, now on the verge of losing her cool.
''That's not-''
''-but it couldn't be-''
''-is that ..dinn-''
''Don't say it daddy! That is not our F-O-O-D. It just can't be! Mom , you won't do THIS to us, would you? We're your family after all!''said Cassy, her eyes widening in horror.
''Honestly Annabeth, I thought we loved each other enough not to do THIS to ourselves,''said Percy in agreement.
''Oh just eat and get it over with. THIS is actually good for your body and mind!''Annabeth huffed.
''NO WAY! We are not eating THAT! It might as well be as healthy as it wants!'
''Look, it's not Minotaur brain, ok? See, i'm eating it!''said Annabeth before taking a bite of THAT. But that was the end of it. The look on her face said it all.
''I'm ordering pizza. Does anybody have any specific choices?''Annabeth asked, giving both Cassy and Percy a steely gaze that immediately made them nut up and shut up.
''Aaaand, she's finally back. I'll have pepperoni ,with extra cheese!'' said a relived and Cassandra silently high- fived as Annabeth went over to the telephone to make the very important phone call.
