[NAMES AND THEIR SIGNIFICANT MEANINGS]
~(','~) (~',')~
Percy Jackson walked into his aunt's house Easter morning carrying a casserole. His mom followed close behind.
"Percy!" Aunt Jenny said, "Its good to see you, Allie, and Eli are in the other room watching TV. You can join them." Mum looked at Percy giving him a look as if to ask an unspoken question. Percy nodded, and tapped his pocket understanding.
Percy walked into the room, and saw something completely unexpected. Eli, his cousin, only a year older than, Percy himself, was in the process of catching something falling across the room from where he was sitting. There was an obvious air plate under it. He was too busy scolding Allie, who was only about 6 years old, about not throwing her shoes through the house to notice Percy standing wide eyed in the doorway. Eli looked up, and saw Percy. His attention was changed, and the glass vase he was holding up fell to the floor with a clatter.
"Hi... Percy..." Eli mumbled.
"What was that?!" Percy asked. Eli seemed to know the "Bend the mist" trick. He snapped his fingers.
"What do you mean?" He asked. Percy rolled his eyes.
"Really?! You are gonna try the "Bend the mist" trick?" Percy asked.
"How long have you known about me?" He asked.
"About 5 minutes!" Percy said. Eli looked confused, "The only demigod I knew about in my family is me," Percy said. Eli looked up at Percy with a curious glance. He stared at him for a few minutes before mentally deciding something.
"Poseidon?" He asked. Percy nodded.
"Zeus?" Percy asked.
They sat down, and talked more that day than they had in years. After Percy told him about his adventure with the lightning bolt, Eli told Percy about how he never got to do anything like that.
"You will someday!" Percy said. Eli shook his head.
"I don't think so. I can't read the language well, I'm not ADHD like most, so I don't have great reflexes," he said frowning.
"Eli?" Aunt Jenny called from the kitchen. Eli walked in the room, and left Percy alone. Or so he thought.
"Percy?" Allie asked from behind the couch. Percy jumped a bit.
"What is it?" He asked with his hand around Riptide from habit.
"Well, look, Eli gets the chance to go to this cool camp, and I have to stay home all summer!" She said dramatically, "Why can't I go for him?!" She asked plopping on the couch with her head landing on Percy's knee. She placed her wrist over her eyes.
"You're not dramatic, are you?" Percy asked. She sat up.
"No! What makes you say that?" She asked.
"Alright, it's time to eat. Then Easter egg hunt!" Aunt Jenny said popping her head in the room. Percy stood up, and followed Allie into the kitchen. They all ate, and talked for a bit, then Allie got inpatient.
"Mom! Can we do the egg hunt now?!" She asked.
"Just a minute!" She said.
"I'll set them up Mom," Eli said from behind her.
"Ok, but be careful!" She said as she heard the back door close. Eli and Percy placed the multicolored plastic eggs all over the yard, and got Allie.
"So, do you train?" Percy asked.
"Well yeah." He said like it was obvious, "Don't you?" Eli asked.
"Well, yeah... but I don't stay home all year!" Percy said.
"Good point," Eli said nudging the slightly shorter Percy.
"Why do you do that any way?" Percy asked.
"I could punch you if that helps," Eli said slowly.
"No, no! The staying home all year."
"Ah, well, mom says she isn't sure whether Allie is a Demigod or not, and I was a dangerous kid. So I thought maybe I should stay behind, you know, to care for the others." He quietly said.
"Oh," Percy said, "Would you like to come to my summer camp?" Percy asked.
"Summer camp?" He asked.
"Its for Demigods," he added. Eli nodded, and agreed to join Percy at Camp. Percy helped Allie open all her candy filled eggs, and stole a few.
"Percy!" Eli said stealing a few himself, "Put those back!" Percy placed the eggs back in her basket, and Eli handed a few of the ones he stole.
"Good job," he said.
"ELILVENDAN!?" Eli's mother called him by his full first name when he was in trouble, "GET IN HERE!" She yelled. Eli paused and looked at Percy with wide eyes.
"I've killed some freaky monsters, but my mother when she is mad is about 9x's worse." Eli said handing Percy his eggs, and walking inside. Percy sat there waiting on the porch steps until Eli came back with his hand rubbing his cheek.
"What happened?" Percy asked.
"Well, I was cleaning up the broken vase, then my, now ex, girlfriend came over, and..." he paused and let his hand fall from his cheek, "Well, let's just say, I cheated on the wrong girl," he said. Percy furrowed his brow at Eli.
"Really?" Percy asked, "When are you gonna learn not to mess with girl's emotions?" Percy asked him again.
"Have you ever kissed a girl before?" Eli asked. Percy nodded slowly, "Then you know that all girls kiss differently! All I want is to find the perfect kisser!" He argued.
"Man, I think you should find one girl at a time!" Percy said.
"Percy?" Sally asked from the doorway, "Are you ready to go?" She asked. Percy nodded, and stood up.
"Til summer?" He asked. Eli nodded, and stood up as well.
"Allie, let's go inside," He said following Percy, and Sally in.
