Crystal: well, we have two kind of new ocs. ^^;

Anna: why are you endangering kids?

Crystal: ^^; they needed a story and i'm a sadist.

Monkey: (walks in holding a leash then pulls on it) Get in here!

Nico: (from a distance) No!

Monkey: Why not?

Nico: Because you'll probably have more torture devices waiting for me!

Monkey: Come on, am I really that bad?

Nico: YES.

Crystal: oh, hey guys.

Nihil: why are they here?

Crystal: Monkey is my editor. :3

Monkey: And co-author (pulls Nico in)

Nico: Why am I here?

Monkey: Because this is your department. Welcome back to the PJO fandom, kid.

Nico: Damn it! You brought me back?

Monkey: Pretty much, yeah.

Amanda: can we get started? Amy is creeping me out now... (amy in the corner sharpening her sword)

Monkey: done deal, kid. (looks to Nico) You know your job by now.

Nico: Yeah, yeah, just get the stupid leash off me!

Monkey: Maybe in the end A/N. Now do the disclaimer!

Nico: (sighs) Crystalmaiden62 and NinjaMonkeyGirl2013 do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Crystal only owns her OC's and somewhat of the plot and Monkey is just kind here.

Monkey: Hey! Nico: (struggles out of the leash and runs off) Monkey: GET BACK HERE, MANSERVANT! (chases him)

Crystal: ^^; so yeah, thank you and please no flames.

Chapter 1: We Meet a Smelly Seal

Okay, how do I start this? I'm Amanda Anderson; Anna's younger cousin. Some people may know Anna from being the Destiny Keeper from the Kingdom Hearts universe. For those who do not know what a Destiny Keeper is; quick summary. A Destiny Keeper is someone from the real world who is thrown into some kind of fictional world to make sure the plot is organized and keeps balance. They must also know the over all plot and…. scratch that, they must know everything about that world; wish someone took that into consideration when I was forced into this job. Let me give my two cents: being a Destiny Keeper isn't the best thing ever. If you're planning to be one; take my advice. Say no! It's not a fun job and really, people who want it for the glory… well… I would say go to someone and ask her but well, she's dead now.

Alright, I should really start this whole thing off because really; I have a reason for writing this. It all started when my big sister, Amy, and I had our birthday. It had only been about two or three days since we returned home after getting kidnapped by Ansem or as I found out later, Xehanort's Heartless. Turns out we were taken the same night Anna left for her journey and we arrived home that same night as well. It's a miracle we still even celebrated our birthday. Still, I had only a family party where I got a few things; Amy had a huge party with friends but I was okay with that. I turned seven then and Amy turned ten, which Amy seemed to be very proud of. For some reason though, Amy got all the Percy Jackson and the Olympian books; even though she's already read them.

"Amy, can you read to me that story?" I asked, as I lay on the bed.

"But I'm reading it right now." Amy said, looking to me with that look she always had.

"You read it for a book report already. Can't you read it to me?" I asked, and finally Amy sighed but smiled.

"Sure." She said, sitting next to me. It's been a long time since Amy and I were close, even then. She spent more time talking with her friends and even when Anna was with us, it was usually just Anna and me. Still, I loved those moments when she was like a real sister and soon the two of us fell asleep. We didn't stay asleep long thought because… I think it was me who yelped when I hit my head on the concrete. At the time, I wasn't sure how but Amy and I were sitting on the curb of some street in New York City; though I wasn't sure then. It was a little hot, just like in the summer but it was so weird. Back then, though, I was absolutely terrified. I thought we were kidnapped again and held onto my big sister.

"Amy…"

"Don't worry, I think we're okay." Amy said, helping me up. "I don't think we were kidnapped…" We had to jump back as a guy nearly ran us over though and he yelled at us; something like 'Crazy kids'. "Lets go inside, we shouldn't stay out here. Maybe we can find a way home." So we went into an apartment, it seemed like Amy knew what she was doing and looking back on it; I think she planned going there once she realized something because we met the man I like to call the smelly seal. We knocked on a door of an apartment and the door opened to reveal a fat man that reeked of alcohol and tobacco; making me cough like mad. A few of my uncles smoked and when I was little, going outside when they were smoking; needless to stay I like to stay inside. "You mind breathing the other way; kids here." Amy said, covering her nose. Probably not the best thing to say but again, Amy knew this world better than me.

"Stupid kids." The seal man said, and slammed the door in our faces.

"Amy…" I whimpered, I wanted to go to a different apartment, one that didn't have a smelly man that made me want to cough up my lungs. Amy looked at me and probably took my look as 'will we get inside'. She winked and whispered.

"Watch this…" She said, and in a voice that was obviously fake acting looking back on it she spoke. "Oh dear, Mom and Dad must be worried we lost our limo, guess Daddy won't give the hundred dollar tip for finding us." That didn't help because there was an evident click of a lock. "A thousand dollars then, but oh well, lets go sis." Amy took my hand and we were pretending to leave but nothing happened.

"I don't think he's dumb, sis…" I pointed out but then a young boy about twelve years old with dark hair and sea green eyes, holding a backpack while rolling a suitcase next to him. I didn't know it then, but I was looking at the person I would love as my older brother from there on.

"Who are you?" He asked, looking at us.

"We're kind of lost…" I said.

"We were hoping to find some help but Mr. Smelly didn't help at all." Amy finished.

"Oh, sorry about him. He's just a jerk." The boy said, taking a set of keys and opened the door. "It looks like it's gonna rain soon, you guys can some inside. I can ask my mom if you can stay over until we find your parents."

"Thanks." Amy said, blushing a little. To note something about my sister, she is guy crazy. Whenever a guy who she thought was cute; she'd blush as brightly as a red stoplight.

"You're awesome." I said, smiling at the boy and he grinned back, kindly.

"By the way, my name's Percy Jackson. What are you names?"

"I'm Amy Anderson, this is my little sister Amanda." Amy said, as I waved to him.

"Hi."

"Nice to meet you." Percy said, and he led us inside. The smelly seal guy from earlier was playing poker with some other guys.

"So, you're home." Smelly Seal said, I covered my nose to keep me from coughing too much.

"Where's my mom, Gabe?" Percy asked the man, but I'm still gonna call him Smelly Seal or S.S. When I found out his full name, I just laughed. I mean, his last name is Ugliano; it was like his parents hated him.

"Working." S.S said, not really pleased to see Percy. "You got any cash?"

"I don't have any cash." Percy said. Smelly Seal looked over at Percy with a glint in his eye, showing he really wasn't as stupid as Amy originally thought.

"You took a taxi from the buss station. Probably paid with a twenty, got a six, seven bucks in change. Somebody expects to live under this roof, he ought to carry his own weight. Am I right, Eddie?" At the time, I was surprised that S.S. could even do math and now, I was surprised that there was actually someone with morals at that poker table.

"Come on, Gabe. The kid just got here." Eddie said.

"Am I right?" S.S. barked and Eddie scowled into the bowl while the other two guys farted in harmony; didn't know that was possible either.

"Fine." Percy said, putting his money on the table. "I hope you lose." Percy started to lead Amy and me to a room when S.S. spoke again.

"Your report card came, brain boy! I wouldn't act so snooty!" S.S shouted, and I coughed a little.

"What smell like something died?" I asked, looking at my sister, who smiled.

"These men, sis, these men… which by the way…" Amy walked to S.S and kicked in where the sun don't shine. "That's for not helping us." Amy said, looking proud of herself. I was surprised Amy even did that but I learned that she didn't fight a battle she knew she'd lose. After S.S. recovered, he glared at my sis with hate.

"Why you little..!" he cried. He looked ready to throttle Amy. Thankfully, Percy caught S.S.'s wrist before he attacked my sister.

"Really, Gabe? Punching a couple of kids? Can you really sink so low?" Percy asked, and S.S. growled before ripping away from Percy.

"C'mon, girls. Let's go to my room and get out of the stink." Percy said, and took us to the different room.

"Amy…" I said, looking to my sister.

"He had it coming." Amy said, shrugging.

"You're not like Anna, you can't do that to a normal guy…." I looked to Percy and asked, "Is he normal?" Had to make sure, I was only seven then. Amy's expression then I wasn't sure what it was back then but now I know; it was anger and jealousy.

"Not by my standards, but in grotesquely human." Percy said, not noticing Amy's look.

"I wish I hit him more…" Amy said, opening the window.

"Amy!" I scolded, as Percy smiled and sat on his bed, putting his stuff on the ground.

"Thanks for opening the window, this place always stinks when I come home." Percy said, looking to Amy.

"Damn, this place does stick."

"Amy!" I scolded again.

"Percy?" We shut up and we looked to see a kind looking woman standing in the doorway; yep, Sally Jackson. The best human being on the planet and since then, kind of my second mother. "Oh, Percy." Ms. Jackson hugged her son. "I can't believe it. You've grown since Christmas!" Percy hugged her back but she noticed us.

"Oh, Mom, this is Amy and Amanda. They lost their parents, so I brought them here."

"We lost them in a crowd." Amy said, teary eyed, which was fake of course. "We were hoping to use a phone but…"

"He locked us out…" I finished, whimpering but it looked like Ms. Jackson didn't believe us. Looking back, she probably knew we were lying.

"I'm sorry about my husband. He can be a bit rude sometimes." Ms. Jackson said and I knew she was trying to be nice.

"More like all the time." Percy muttered, and I giggled a little.

"You both can stay for a while. But do you think you can stay outside for a few minutes? I want to talk to Percy." Ms. Jackson said and Amy nodded.

"Okay." Amy said, and pulled me out of the room but the moment the door closed, she leaned against the door; listening in on Percy and his mom.

"We shouldn't…" I whispered but Amy quieted me. I didn't hear Percy or his mom since well, I'm not like Amy and all. "This is why Anna scolded you some times…"

"Well, she isn't here." Amy said, grinning. But then the door opened and Amy fell in.

"Really?" Percy said, raising an eyebrow at Amy.

"Amy!" I squeaked as Ms. Jackson giggled.

"You really shouldn't eavesdrop." Percy said, helping Amy up.

"Sorry." She said, blushing at Percy's touch.

"It's alright, most children your age do it anyway." Ms. Jackson said, looking to Percy, who blushed.

"Mom!" But Ms. Jackson looked to Amy and me.

"Anyway, would you both like to come with us to our trip to Montauk?" Ms. Jackson offered. "I'm sure you wouldn't like to stay here for three days while we're gone."

"Yes, please!" Amy and I said, at once. The sooner we got out of this place and away from S.S., the better. But the Smelly Seal himself came in looking pretty annoyed.

"Bean dip, Sally? Didn't you hear me?" S.S said, as Percy clenched his fist. I don't blame him, I wanted to kick him too like Amy but Ms. Jackson gave us a look like, 'be nice to Gabe until I'm ready'.

"I was on my way, honey. We were just talking about the trip." Ms. Jackson explained.

"The trip? You mean you were serious about that?" S.S. asked.

"I knew it." Percy muttered. "He won't let us go."

"Of course he will. Your stepfather is just worried about money. That's all." Even then I knew that was a lie. "Besides, Gabriel won't have to settle for bean dip. I'll make him enough seven-layer dip for the whole weekend; guacamole, sour cream, the works."

"No wonder why he smells like a pig." Amy whispered to me, and I nodded. About the smartest thing she's ever said, even looking back now.

"So, this money for your trip… it comes out of your clothes budget, right?" S.S. asked, looking like he was about to be convinced.

"Yes, honey."

"And you won't take my car anywhere but there and back."

"We'll be very careful."

"Maybe if you hurry with that seven-layer dip and maybe if the kids apologize for interrupting my poker game." S.S. said, eyeing to us.

"Us too?" Amy asked, raising an eyebrow. Well, she really didn't seem to remember the fact that she kicked him in the place that nearly made him sing in a different voice. Still, he was a huge jerk.

"Adults…" I groaned.

"I'm sorry," Percy said, gritting his teeth. "I'm really sorry I interrupted your incredibly important poker game. Please go back to it right now."

"Agreed." Sis and I said, but we really didn't mean it.

"Yeah, whatever." S.S. said and left.

"Thank you, Percy, Amy, Amanda." Ms. Jackson said, smiling. "Once we get to Montauk, we'll talk more about… whatever you've forgotten to tell me, okay?" She ruffled Percy's hair and went to the kitchen.

"You're mom is nice." I commented, smiling.

"I know…" Percy replied, smiling happily. An hour later, we were ready to leave. The smelly seal kept moaning about Ms. Jackson (and her cooking) leaving but mostly his car for a whole weekend. Come to think of it, I didn't ask Percy if he even knew how to really drive.

"Not a scratch on this car, brain boy. Not one little scratch." S.S. kept saying as Percy put the bags in the trunk.

"Man, lighten up already. It's not like he's going to drive." Amy reasoned, okay second smartest thing so far but well, Percy has bad luck with cars is what I learned from being with him for about three years. Still, another thing I learned is that Amy tends to make people mad.

"Don't get the smelly seal mad…" I warned but like it mattered as he glared at us and went back into the house. Then Percy made this clawing motion over his heart and does a shoving motion toward S.S. Somehow, the door smacked S.S in the butt, sending him flying up the staircase. At once, Percy dragged Amy and me, put us in the back seat, then jumped into the shot gun seat.

"Mom, step on it." With that, we drove off and really, if I had known that night what would happen to our lives…. Needless to say this night made the time when we were kidnapped by Xehanort's Heartless seem like nothing.

Amanda: that wasn't so bad.

Anna: just wait, it'll get worse. TT^TT
