"I need to talk, to all of you." Poseidon answered.
Percy's POV:
I sat there horrified at the table. Everyone was, we had just received a break from wars and bloodshed that we can't handle it anymore. The Giant war was hard on us, we were only teenagers. People at our age would have only worried about passing their driver's license and getting a scholarship for college, but we have to worry if we're even going to see the sunlight tomorrow. Whatever Poseidon needs to tea-party over isn't going to be good.
The seven was seated around the table, Poseidon at the head. Tension was in the air, we all could feel it. Leo tapped nervously, his ADHD even more than mine. I nervously started playing around with a fork. Frank was still sweating gallons of water. Hazel's seat was surrounded by gems and jewels, even more money than the US mint company. Jason kept on glancing at Poseidon, thinking that this was all a dream, and if only it was. Annabeth wasn't that calm, like she usually is. She looked at Poseidon with a look of irritation, after all her mom doesn't really like my dad. Surprisingly, the only one calm was Piper.
Breaking the awkwardness, I coughed out, "You wanted to talk to us?"
Poseidon turned his attention at me, which I didn't mind. "Oh, yes." He said, barely elaborating.
"Dad, what is it that you want? Is there another war? Didn't Kronus break out of Tartarus?" I asked, terrorized at the very idea.
"Oh, no it's not that. The gods have decided on something." He said, grabbing a blue muffin.
Here he goes again, I thought.
"Dad-" he cut me off.
"You guys have saved Olympus from Gaea." He exclaimed, munching on the muffin.
"Olympus has decided that you should get rewarded, with a thanksgiving feast."
What?
"The gods are aware that some demigods haven't even met their parents, and after all these millennia, we think it's time."
I didn't know how to respond to that. But I didn't need to, suddenly the room changed. Instead of sitting in my apartment, I was sitting in Olympus. Even if I have seen Olympus like three times, but it still seems to amaze me.
The thrones stood in front of us,for all the Olympian Gods, including Hades. The air smelled like pumpkin spice, probably made by Demeter. We sat in a giant table, that could fit about 500 people, around the amount of demigods both camps have. I was seated next to Annabeth, and the rest of the seven next to her. In a snap, all most every demigod got teleported to the table. Everyone was confused, what is this? A few of them even got out of their weapons, while the older demigods smiled, remembering the field trips they went on to Olympus.
Zeus cleared his throat, woah since when was he there, I thought, still giving him my attention. Learn it from me, never mess around with Zeus. Zeus sat at the head of the year table, on his left side were Poseidon and Hades, Nico smiled when he saw his dad, followed by Apollo,Ares, Hephaestus, and Dionysus, who looks bored, like always. On his right side was Hera, Hestia, Demeter, Athena, Artemis, and Aphrodite, she smiled at us, and went back to putting on makeup.
"Welcome to the 1st annual Thanksgiving dinner with-with the gods." He choked out the words, I guess he didn't want to do this.
"We gods are now aware that some demigods haven't gotten the chance to meet their godly parents." Athena added, "Here's the chance." She said smiling at her kids, especially Annabeth, she did return the Athena Parthenos back to Athena.
"We couldn't pay your thanks during the ending of the Titan war, we had only just started to know about Gaea, and her plan."
claimed Artemis, looking at her hunters with a sympathetic smile, and then giving a small nod to the seven.
"Both wars were hard on us and the demigods," added Poseidon. Sitting next to Poseidon was Tyson, who was waving enthusiastically at me, making me smile. At least he is safe, I thought.
"Many demigods have died for peace with the Romans." Ares said, looking at the Romans.
Before the Romans could react, Athena started to speak,"Toast to Olympus, may the fates bless all demigods." She gave Ares a pointed look, there's something up.
I looked at Annabeth, she also noticed the little exchange. I took her hand and, whispered into her ear, "Don't worry," Even though, I was worrying myself. Is there going to be another war, I thought. She smiled at me, her eyes showing fear. After witnessing the giant war and Tartarus, even the cruelest gods have to agree that we deserve an happy ending.
We turned our attention back to the gods, tired of war. Jason looked at us, and nodded, signaling that we will talk of this later.
"Toast to Olympus." Piper said, holding her cup up to the gods.
We all did the same. Aphrodite chirped, "Let's get eating! Stay for the after party, I heard the muses are playing." That seemed to do the trick, everyone started to pick up their folks.
After a while, everyone began to speak, we all jokes around. Heck, even the gods started to laugh around. Apollo recited a haiku, which only resulted him getting his hair pulled out by Artemis. He yelled "No hate on Poetry, sis.", which didn't seem like a good idea. They may have been at least 500 hundred years old, even more but they are still kids at heart. The stoll brothers teamed up with the Hecate kids to make Katie's food, which was turkey meat, into a turkey. Suddenly, there was a turkey flying around Olympus, but if it wasn't for Zeus, the turkey could have stepped into his food.
Hermes laughed with a mouth full of food, only to be scolded by Hera. Leo and Mark, son of Ares started having a competition, who could eat the most chili with extra chili peppers, Demeter chuckled, and then Leo and Mark had a race to the fountain, seeing who could drink the most water. Demeter smirked, and high fived Miranda, one of her daughters. Oh gods.
This is my family, the demigods don't have any but we all are our family. We take care of each other and stay together until the very end. Sure, we don't have the best family out there, but this is all we got.
I looked at Annabeth, she started to talk with Piper about architectural designs she had added to Olympus. I smiled at the sight of her eyes lighting up whenever she talks about architecture. I gave Annabeth a short kiss, saying "Happy Thanksgiving." She grinned back at me, lighting up my world like a pumpkin spice candle.
Thinking about family, where is mom, I thought, she sure isn't going to believe this.
AN: Sorry if the gods are OOC, but the gods can't always be serious. They have a playful side. And, I know, it's really short.
Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving! I was watching the parade on TV (my mom and dad doesn't like us going to see it in real life ;'( ) and there was Panic! At the Disco! YAAY! But they played their song, Victorious for so little time, like 20 seconds! I wanted the whole song! ;'( My life sucks.
Anyway, I am probably going to do a Christmas story like that, if you guys want, so REVIEW! Tell me! I got ideas and half a chapter, but I am too lazy, if you guys want it, then maybe I could write one about Christmas.
