A/N HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

. . . Yep. That's all I have to say.

OH! FYI, this takes place after … Son of Neptune, I guess. I'm just assuming that they gave Jason back and now they have Percy again. And the Hunters are visiting.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

It was a relaxing day at Camp Half-Blood.

Travis and Connor were playing basketball, Percy was manipulating his water from within a plastic bottle, Thalia was attempting to keep her Hunters from killing Apollo's sons and Leo was creating who knows what with random things from his tool belt.

Finding their respective activities either boring or tiring, they converged in a small circle. Percy sighed tiredly.

"Something wrong, Kelp head?" Thalia asked with a smirk.

Percy glared at her. "Tomorrow's Father's Day," He replied.

Travis and Connor gasped. "No!" They said in unison. "We thought it was Sunday!"

Now Percy glared at him. "Oh, shut up. I don't know what to do. He's a god! I can't exactly get him a seashell tie."

Leo laughed. "Dude, I can totally see you doing that. But what about me? What do you get for the man who can make anything?"

"Oh, Leo," Travis said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "So naïve."

"We have the same problem," Connor continued. "Except Dad doesn't have to make anything; he can get anything."

Thalia rolled her eyes. "Seriously? My dad's king! What the hell am I supposed to do?"

"Language, Lieutenant!" Four people simultaneously shouted.

Thalia rolled her eyes again. "Bunch of frickin' pricks," She mumbled.

"Hey, be careful, Thalia," Percy told her. "Daddy might ground you. In the sky." Thalia widened her eyes.

"T-That's not funny Percy."

Leo chuckled. "Oh, I don't know. I find it hilarious." Thalia glared at him. Travis and Connor looked at them confusedly, then turned to each other and shrugged.

"What about you, Kelp Head? I'm sure Lord Poseidon has some terrible deep dungeon in the darkest depths of the ocean with some of the monsters that ate the ones that used to hide under your bed." Thalia smirked when Percy looked slightly afraid.

Percy chuckled nervously, but stopped when a thought struck him. "Nah, he wouldn't do that to me . . . Would he?"

Travis looked at Connor. "Dad can't really ground us anywhere. After all, all he does is travel."

"True," Connor conceded. "But he could attach a leash to the caduceus . . ." Travis and Connor shivered.

Leo scowled. "What would happen to me?"

Percy thought for a moment. "Well, he could put your brain in an automaton."

"Yeah!" Thalia exclaimed. "Then he could turn you on and off!"

"Or put you on mute!" Travis and Connor pointed out.

Leo shuddered. "That's just-"

Suddenly Nico popped up in the middle of their circle.

Thalia was the first to recover from her stupor. "Nico?

Nico snapped towards her voice. "Oh, hi Thalia. There are some very nice people in China."

Percy was about to question his cousin when Nico realized something. "Shit! What day is it?"

"Uh, June 18 . . ." Leo answered hesitantly.

"Fuck!" Nico screamed. He got up and started to run away.

"Wait!" Connor started.

Travis finished for him, "Why?"

Nico turned, but kept moving. "I can't get grounded. Never again."

"What's so bad about it?" Percy asked.

Nico stopped. He closed his eyes for a second and shuddered. "There are just some things you can never unsee . . ." He said mysteriously before shadow traveling through a tree.

The five demigods looked at each other.

"I love my dad," They all finally said.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

A/N You didn't think I'd forget Nico, did you?

Peace, Love, and Pokémon-
