"Nice to meet you Calypso, I'm Percy, Zoe's property-er boyfriend." He thrust out his hand and she shook it giving him a large smile. She chuckled at his joke and Zoe smacked him on the back of the head. Zoe had invited Percy to meet her sister Calypso, he thought she was as beautiful as Zoe. She had cinnamon colored hair and hazel colored eyes, she wore a nice smile that looked warm and inviting. Calypso was slightly fascinated with Percy, he was muscular and tall. He had a jagged scar that ran down his face and his sea green eyes were mesmerizing, he had an easy going demeanor and had a mischievous sparkle in his eyes. He had a beautiful smile and seemed easy to be around. He scowled at Zoe who pointedly ignored him and crushed her sister in a hug, Calypso had missed her sister immensely and felt elated to see her again. Her exile had been awful, few had met her and never stayed around for they all had things to do and people to see. Oddly it was all boys her age that she fell for, she felt as though she's seen Percy before, he seemed familiar. During her exile she had to stay on the outskirts of town and could never leave, they had put her in a cabin and supplied her with food and everything, they made her wear an ankle bracelet so that if she left the police would come after her. It wasn't her fault for being put there, she was framed. Percy looked at her worriedly, she had zoned out and looked sad, her once mirth filled eyes were dull as she stared straight ahead.
"Calypso." He whispered quietly, Zoe had gone inside to get Artemis and tell her that Calypso had arrived. She awoke from her stupor and smiled at him apologetically.
"Sorry, I was thinking." She said sheepishly but Percy noticed the smile looked forced.
He frowned, he could of sworn he's seen her before,"Calypso, have we met?" He asked and she frowned as she tried to remember, now that she thought of it Percy's name seemed familiar as well.
"Is your name, Percy Jackson?" She asked quietly and looked up at him almost pleadingly, he looked at her in shock. He's never mentioned his last name before, maybe Zoe told her?
"Uh ya, how'd you know?" He asked with uncertainty.
Her face brightened and she smiled widely,"You ran into me during my exile." He frowned, he had been told the story of her exile, had he been on the outskirts of town? Is his amnesia not all the way gone?
"I'm sorry, if we have met...I don't remember...see I got in this crash that gave me amnesia and-" He stopped once he felt a sharp pain run through his head.
-MEMORY-
Percy was walking outside of town, he needed to clear his thoughts about Annabeth and Luke, it was clear they liked each other. Future Percy realized he was in past Percy's body, this was back when he was a tiny victim who liked Annabeth. It was odd because it was like watching a first person movie, except he could hear what he thought back when it happened. He tried to move but past Percy was in control. The outskirts were probably one of the most dangerous places you could go, they consist of violent gangs and criminals from the war between Zeus and Kronos, as dangerous as the place was no one ever seemed to bother Percy. The outskirts was a heavily wooded area full of wildlife and dangers, bears, snakes, and bobcats inhabited the the forest. Despite the numerous dangers Percy felt as though this was his one place to let out all of his pent up emotions, Luke, he punched a tree as hard as he could. His knuckles bled heavily and pain shot through his entire hand, he clenched his teeth and clutched his bloody hand. He didn't care how much it hurt it was probably the best way to rid himself of anger. He didn't want a therapist he wanted Luke to go away and Annabeth to finally like him, not that she would. He was starting to face facts, Annabeth was out of his league and way to good for him, he was a loser who wasn't worth her time.
He continued his walk and he saw a large cabin, it was surrounded by trees as if to be hidden, the cabin looked new and Percy began to wonder how far he walked. He just noticed that it was night time and a cold gust of wind hit Percy, he shivered and decided to see if the person in the cabin would allow him to use their phone. Smoke came out of the chimney and he figured if he just knocked on the door then the person would let him in and he could call his mom. He approached the cabin and knocked, he waited for a few moments and no one answered. He frowned and knocked again, still no one answered. Though he knew it was probably an awful idea he crept inside, he just needed to borrow a phone and hopefully no one would mind. He looked around the cabin, nothing to fancy just a sofa and some chairs by a fire place, there was a loud thump and Percy froze. I'm like Goldie Locks! He thought and mentally face palmed, he didn't want to be eaten by bears nor did he need to be shot for trespassing.
"What are you doing?" A voice asked and Percy threw his hands in the air and squeezed his eyes shut.
Footsteps got closer and he yelled,"I surrender!" He was prepared for a bullet to go through his head or maybe for someone to tackle him but there was just a tinkle of laughter. He opened his eyes to see a beautiful girl about his age looking at him in amusement, he sighed and put his hands down.
"Sorry if I scared you, I'm Calypso." She spoke softly and stuck out her hand.
Percy smiled warmly at her,"Hi, I'm Percy Jackson." He was about to shake her hand but she saw his bloody knuckles and gasped. He put his hand down and thought she was disgusted with him, who wouldn't be? He was weak and pathetic, the only thing he had going for him was his height. She ran out of the room and he glared at the ground bitterly, he was good at repelling girls, why was Annabeth gone? Because he was some awful disease that was an embarrassment to talk to in front of others. Calypso ran back into the room with gauze and lightly grabbed his hand, she wrapped it around his knuckles gently and Percy regarded her with wide eyes. She was helping him?
"Thank you." He said as he stared down at her, he was transfixed by her beauty and felt a blush form on his cheeks.
She looked up from her work and smiled shyly at him,"Your welcome. How did this happen?" She asked not looking away from his eyes.
He smiled at her sheepishly,"I kinda punched a tree." Calypso laughed again which made the blush return to his cheeks.
"You know you could of used an axe to take down the tree, I know you'd want to be tough but that tree clearly won this battle." She said and finished wrapping up his wound. He did an experimental flex of his hand and gave her a large smile. He liked her a lot, she didn't seem to care that he was ugly or looked malnourished.
"Well thanks again, what are you doing out here anyway?" He asked and she sighed, she took his other hand in hers and led him to one of the couches by the fire place.
"I was framed for murder, but no matter how many times I tell people no one believes me! I didn't do it and now Zeus sent me here for exile, my punishment is to be alone, to be an outcast." Tears leaked out of her eyes, they flashed with betrayal and grief. He didn't realize he did it until he found his hands cupping her face, he swiped the tears away with his thumbs and looked into her hazel eyes.
She gazed at him and he saw no lies, just depression,"I believe you." He whispered and she looked at him in surprise, she then crushed him into a hug. He stiffened before he hugged her back, realization hit him, Zeus was his uncle.
He pulled away and grinned at her,"Hey, Zeus is my uncle! Maybe I can get him to release you!" He said brightly and she looked at him in surprise. Percy felt as though he should kiss her but knew it wasn't appropriate and she probably didn't like him.
She then hugged him again,"Thank you, I guess that makes you my hero huh?" Percy grinned but his face was cherry red.
He rested his chin on her head,"Nah, I'm just a guy who's helping out a friend." Once the words came out of his mouth he wanted to slap himself, they just met and he claimed himself to be her friend.
She pulled away and beamed at him,"You barely know me yet you wish to help me? Why?"
He scratched the back of his neck sheepishly,"Well being alone stinks, and...well you helped me with my knuckles so I guess were even."
"Percy, your getting me out of exile while I only wrapped gauze around your wound. I'm still in your debt." She said seriously.
He rolled his eyes,"Your honestly fine, do you think I can borrow a phone?"
-END OF MEMORY-
"Are you okay?" He looked up from his bent over position to see Calypso looking down at him worriedly. He knew it wasn't the end of the memory but he wondered why it had been suppressed.
He grinned at her,"I remember you! I met you in your cabin and you teased me for punching a tree and we hugged! Your my friend!" He exclaimed and wrapped her into a hug, she liked him even when he was a loser. She hugged him back and Zoe and Artemis came out.
Zoe raised an eyebrow and Artemis coughed awkwardly,"Well I see you guys have some catching up to do so I'll go...dust!" Artemis exclaimed and made a quick get away, she had never been good with these love things.
Percy pulled away from Calypso and grinned at Zoe oblivious of her jealousy,"Zoe, me and Calypso are friends! I met her when she was in exile a longtime ago." Zoe gaped and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"It was back when I went to Trojan High." He explained and Zoe just stared at them wide eyed, did they have anything special? She wondered worriedly but relaxed once Percy wrapped an arm around her waist.
"I say we call our friends over and introduce them to Calypso." He suggested and Calypso nodded eagerly at the prospect of meeting Percy's and Zoe's friends.
-Zoe's house-
"Well, everyone this is Zoe's sister and my friend Calypso." Percy introduced.
"She's hot!"-Leo
"Hello!"-Hazel
"Nice to meet you."-Annabeth
"Hi!"-Piper
"I'm hungry."-Grover
"Hey."-Frank
"I'm Jason."-Jason
"Your pretty."-Nico
"And Nico, your stupid."Bianca
"Sup, I'm Percy's sis."-Thalia
"Isn't Reyna ugly?"-Connor
"Isn't Connor feminine? Oh wait he doesn't know what big words mean, it means your a pansy and girly you idiot."-Reyna
"Hey! Only I call Connor an idiot!"-Travis
She smiled warmly at everyone before sitting by Percy and Zoe. The group introduced themselves and Calypso was happy that she finally had friends, being in exile was lonely and boring.
"Lets play truth or dare!" Connor suggested and Calypso raised an eyebrow, she had never played this game before.
Zoe smiled at her,"Don't worry sis, I'll teach you how to play." Calypso smiled at her sister gratefully.
Percy grinned at Leo,"Alright Valdez, truth or dare?"
Leo looked thoughtful,"Hm...truth." Jason smirked at his friend.
"Wow, that's manly of you." He taunted but they ignored him. Zoe glowered at Jason angrily and he flinched away from her. Percy chuckled and wrapped an arm around Zoe, Calypso watched the group curiously.
"Alright Leo, to you who is the hottest girl in the room?" Percy was smirking at a now flustered looking Leo.
The Latino cleared hit throat awkwardly,"Ur...Bianca and Reyna, Calypso too." Calypso raised her eyebrows, Bianca blushed, and Reyna glared at him.
Reyna spoke up,"Never gonna happen Valdez."
Leo looked at her in frustration,"Why? Still hung up on pretty boy over there?" He snarled pointing at Jason. Leo looked crushed and Reyna looked angry. Reyna never liked speaking of her old relationship with Jason, he had cheated on her with Piper. Tension was thick in the room and the two glared at each other, Reyna knew that Leo knew to never bring up her history with Jason. It hurt her immensely and she kept herself away from everyone, she shut out her friends. Jason and Piper were hated until Reyna got over the betrayal.
"Awkward." Connor sang before being hit in the face with a shoe, he fell to the ground making his twin glare at the shoeless Reyna.
Before she could yell at Leo he spoke up again,"Percy, truth or dare?"
"Dare!"
Leo grinned micheviously,"I dare you to pick your favorite song and dance to it." Percy groaned and glared at Zoe who started laughing at him. He pulled out his iPhone and scrolled through several songs before picking one. Just Give Me a Reason by Pink. He grinned at Thalia who leapt out of her seat and began dancing by Percy, they both bobbed their heads then started randomly dancing. Percy began to shimmy making the room roar in laughter. Thalia did the sprinkler and accidentally whacked Percy in the face, he fell and Zoe was laughing so hard tears came out. He jumped up quickly and slung an arm around Thalia before they started line kicking.
"We can learn to love again!" They sang loudly making hearts with their hands. Percy spun in a circle knocking Thalia down, she then swept his legs out from him making him fall on top of her.
"Written in the scars of my heart!" Percy sang and rolled off his flattened sister. He helped her to her feet and they laughed as the song continued playing. They sang random parts of the song and their clumsy dance moves caused them to fall on each other repeatedly.
"Yes we can learn to love again!" Thalia sang the last line and struck her hand out to pose only to smack Percy in the face again. The duo were in tears as they laughed loudly while using each other for support. Their friends laughed as well and Zoe looked like she was going to die from laughter. Calypso applauded but was laughing heartily as well, Percy and Thalia were breathing heavily and he embraced his sister. That song was their special song, they weren't just siblings, they were best friends. Jason glared bitterly at the ground, Nico and Bianca jumped into the hug as well. Percy ruffled his siblings hair playfully and they all ruffled his making him laugh.
Once the siblings sat down Percy spoke up,"Okay Jason, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Have you ever had a crush on anyone in this room besides Reyna and Piper?" Percy asked smirking.
Jason blushed and looked flustered,"Er...ya uh...I've always thought Hazel was kinda cute." There was complete silence as everyone looked from Hazel to Jason in shock. Though it was hard to see the light blush on Hazel's cheeks because she was mixed but the blush was still noticeable.
"Dang, Hazel and Jason sittin in a tree,"Connor started,"K.i.s.s.i.n.g." Travis finished.
The two began to sing together and then Percy and Leo had started to sing along,"First comes love! Then comes marriage! Then comes the baby in the baby carriage!" The four started laughing while Piper and Frank looked murderous. Jason and Hazel looked embarrassed and Frank and Piper advanced on the four, Frank grabbed both of the twins while Piper grabbed Percy's shirt.
She held up a fist,"Any last words?" She growled.
He nodded solemnly,"A few actually, first of all you've been hanging out Zoe to much. Secondly, is that a new top?"
She smiled widely and dropped his shirt,"Finally someone's noticed! Ya I got this from blah blah blah." That's all Percy heard and he smiled and nodded as though he was listening.
It felt like she was just going on and on and he started to lose it,"Okay okay I get it! Jeez your almost as annoying as Zoe!" He cried and threw his hands up in exasperation. Suddenly a hand wrapped around his throat making him gag before he was yanked back onto the couch beside Zoe and Calypso.
Zoe glared at him with her hand around his throat,"And why am I annoying?" She asked testily.
He looked at Calypso who laughed at him before giving him a kiss on the cheek,"Goodbye Percy, it was nice knowing you." His face turned a cherry red, he felt a strong connection with Calypso but his bond with Zoe was even stronger.
Percy coughed,"Well babe, I guess it's just annoying that you don't kiss me enough." He said praying to Jesus that she wouldn't kill him.
Zoe smiled coyly at him making his heart flutter,"So you want a kiss huh?"
His face turned red,"That'd be nice." She slowly kissed her knuckles and Percy paled, she was poised to punch him but he quickly smashed his lips on hers. She was momentarily stunned and released her grip from his neck, he took this opportunity to dive off the couch and he landed in Leo's lap. Zoe was blinking rapidly before she got up and slowly made her way to Percy and Leo who were cowering away from her.
"Now Percy, what have I said about acting like Leo?"
And what do you think? Man I was laughing at the dancing part which was mandatory for me to write. Some of you asked me not to have any struggles in Zoe and Percy's relationship. I have to put those in because that's why I made a sequel. But don't worry, I'm still putting in tons of humor and there will be drama. So comment
