Thank you so much for the reviews!

Apollo 5
Nico 2

Connor/Travis 1
Male Annabeth 1
So, I'm gonna develop this as Apollo/Percy story now on but the voting/suggestions are still on till chapter 4!
"So, Apollo." I said testing how his name sounded in my mouth. I had to admit, I liked it. "Enjoying the party?" He smiled at me and I couldn't help it, I had to smile back. My heart started to flutter faster every time I looked in his eyes. They were just so amazingly blue.
"Yup." He said and ordered a drink. "You sure know how to throw a party." He said and took a sip from the glass put in front of him. I smiled. "My father designed this, actually. But thank you."
Apollo almost chocked in his drink. "Uncle Poseidon did this party?" His voice was raspy from the chocking. I laughed at him. "Is it that weird?" He just nodded and looked at me funny. I was still smiling and I could feel my cheeks gain some red color again. What was wrong with me?
"Princess?" Somebody said behind me. I didn't hear him though the first time, I was too busy looking at Apollo. I noticed him when the sun god looked behind me. His eyes flashed so fast I couldn't say what it was, when I heard the voice again. "Percy?" I turned around and saw a beautiful merman behind me. "Yes?" I asked as nicely as I could. My father had taught me to be as polite as I can be. Something about people liking you better if you don't snap at them all the time. The merman smiled at me and looked very happy for some reason. "May I have this dance?" He asked and bowed a little. I could feel myself blushing again. "Of course." I said and took his offered hand. "See you later, Apollo." I said and saw Apollo nod and flash a smile before the merman pulled me to the dance floor.
The song was slow and the merman put his hands on my hips, like in waltz. I put my hand on his shoulder and we started to dance along with everyone else. "It is an honor to meet you, Princess." The merman said. I smiled at him as he whirled me around. "Just Percy." I said and smiled a little. "Who are you?" I asked kindly. "My name's Hurley." I smiled at him as we continued our dance. "Nice to meet you, Hurley." He smiled at me and took a better grip of me.
Our dance was interrupted when someone poked Hurley's shoulder and cleared his throat, at least he sounded a man. "May I steal this young lady?" The voice asked. It send some not-so-unwanted shivers on my back. Hurley glared the speaker for a moment as I looked at him.
He looked like an albino, he was so pale. His hair was even more black than my own. His eyes were dark brown and at times looked like they were really black. He was wearing black too, he even had a black vest and black tie. He was tall and lean. Hurley nodded and swam away, leaving me with this new stranger.
"Nice to meet you finally, niece." I looked at him more sharply as we danced. He was kind of a good dancer, he guided me with a purposeful attitude. His mask was black too, very simple but expensive looking. No way this was Zeus. "Lord Hades?" I asked, uncertainly. He smiled and looked almost kind. "That's me." He confirmed and spun me around a couple of times. I decided to get rid of my tail since it was easier to keep up with my uncle with legs. There was a little whirlpool as I closed my eyes. When I opened them, I had my legs again. At first I almost fell over, but Hades tightened his grip. He looked at my legs in wonder. "You have legs?" He asked as I gained my balance once again and started dance.
I laughed a little. "Better question would be that why I have a tail, uncle. I am half human after all." Hades looked at me, was there amusement in his eyes? "Perhaps." He said as we continued our dance. We didn't really speak after that, but I felt comfortable with Hades for some strange reason.
When the song ended and a new one started, Hades let go of me and nodded his head. "Thank you for the dance." I said as I bowed. He waved his hand and looked bored. "It was my pleasure." Then he left, leaving me gaping after him. Hades was a little odd, I thought as I felt another hand on my shoulder. I turned around faster than the person behind me thought possible, because I hear a yelp. When I controlled my hands so that I wouldn't punch the intruder, I saw a boy, maybe seventeen, tall with golden hair and some muscles. He had blue eyes too and he had a kind aura surrounding him. "Hey, sorry if I scared you." He said and smiled a small smile. "You mean if I scared you?" I said and lifted my eyebrow, not that he could see. He laughed a little. "Yeah, you're fast." I smiled at him. "Who are you?" I asked.
"Will Solace, son of Apollo, at your service." He bowed a little and I punched his arm. "Ouch! What was that for?" I just rolled my eyes and looked at him. He grinned at me. "Anyway, what's your name?" I was happy that he didn't know who I was when he bowed. I was still a demigod just as he is. "Percy." I said and watched how his eyes got bigger and his jaw dropped. After five seconds and no movement from Will I said: "Close your mouth before you eat planktons." He closed his mouth after that but still looked at me. "Nice to meet you, Percy." He said and smiled again. I looked at him for a moment before my answer. "You too." Though I sounded uncertain. He just laughed at me.
"Would you want to meet some other campers? I can introduce them to you." He offered. I had heard much about this camp but my dad didn't want to let me go from the safety of his realm. I have been on the dry land, sure, training with my legs. You know it would be awkward if I didn't know how to walk or run or dance or fight when I have legs. And I was eager to meet some new people, and more so people my age.
"Sounds wonderful!" I said and smiled brightly. Will looked at me for a second before taking my hand uncertainly. When I didn't pull my hand away he smiled and pulled me with him. He started to talk about the camp and the campers, and I listened with great interest. Their lives sounded so cool, with the training and the quests. Suddenly I envied them. They could do what they wanted when I was stuck in here under strict supervision. I was never alone if I was not in my own room. Yes, it was true that they were always danger outside the camp boundaries and most demigods die in nasty ways and much too young, but I suddenly wanted excitement in my life, too. Maybe I could persuade my dad to let me go to this camp Half-Blood?
