HELLOOOOOOOO anyone who reads this. I decided to post again for the heck of it. Some more might be coming depending on my scedule though!

Sally POV

Breakfast the next morning was a more cheerful affair. After only one more nightmare the two of them slept. I decided to let my teenage son sleep in the same bed as his girlfriend. Now, it seems like a bad choice but really? Two nightmares when they're together? Imagine how horrible being apart would be! After Paul left I suggested we watch a movie. "Finding Nemo!" Percy said firmly.

"You are your father's child." I mumbled.

"Hm?"

"He loved that movie. For some reason the sea god found Nemo's personality "so much more charming than all the clownfish I have ever known"."
"That's true." Percy said. "Most clownfish are rude. They always want you to do things for them. Then they're grumpy and ignore you. Like Annabeth when I confiscate her blueprints."

Annabeth grinned and punched him.

"OW! That hurts!" Percy whined.

"Too bad seaweed brain."

Percy was inhaling popcorn and Annabeth ate it daintily, piece by piece as they watched the movie. "I think you should call Dory and not me a seaweed brain. Her head is full of more kelp than mine." Percy announced.

"Dory is smarter than you."

"No!"

"Yes!"

"NO!"

"Shut up seaweed brain." Annabeth kissed Percy on the cheek and he smiled contentedly. Someone banged on the door. Percy and Annabeth jumped and drew weapons. I groaned inwardly. Poor baby. I went to answer the door but Percy leapt up to get it, pushing Annabeth behind him. He looked through the peep-hole and his shoulders relaxed. "It's Frank and Hazel."

Annabeth sagged with relief. "Well, let them in seaweed brain!"

Two teenagers burst into the room, one had a tornado of golden brown curls and another was a burly boy with a baby-face. The girl whom I assumed was Hazel hugged Percy. Frank waved awkwardly. "What are you guys doing here?" Annabeth asked.

Frank looked worried. "Are you not happy to see us?"

"Of course we're happy!" Percy said hastily. "Mom, these are my friends Frank and Hazel. I met them in new rome."

It is not the fault of these children that I lost Percy. I reminded myself. It's Hera's fault. I hope Poseidon kicked her ass. The sky rumbled. "Shut up you stupid goddess." I muttared. "Yes, it's nice to meet you two. Do you need any ambrosia and nectar? I can finish cleaning up the guest room for you!"

"Thank you. I appreciate your offer." Hazel said politely.

"Thanks." Frank said.

"Um. May I have some water for my horse?" Hazel asked. "I can make gold but grass will do. He can find a park somewhere but I want him to have some clean water."

"Make gold. Oh!" Probably a demigod thing. Child of Hades? No it would be Pluto in Roman. "Sure. I'll get you some." I found a bucket I usually used for mopping, washed it out and handed it to Hazel. She walked outside.

"We came on the horse." Frank stated. "Five policemen trien to 'pull us over' They thought we were a racecar."

"Couldn't the mist have made you look slower?" Percy asked.

"The mist isn't always helpful Percy." Annabeth said. "Remember when a hellhound attacked us after the Titan war and some old lady hit you with her cane because she thought you were killing a puppy with a baseball bat?"

"I was polite!" Percy protested.

"You said the police wouldn't arrest you since they wouldn't find a body!"

"I could have just told her she was crazy."

"She DID call the police!"

"They thought she was crazy and didn't arrest me."

"But they could have arrested you!"

"I'd run away if they tried to arrest me."

"Then you'd be a fugitive from the law again."

"I doubt I'll be chased across the country for killing a 'puppy' with a baseball bat."

I laughed, glad my baby sounded normal. Hazel came back into the room. "Well, hello again!" She came back into the room smiling and kissed Frank on the cheek. He blushed. Percy leaned back onto the wall arm around Annabeth. "So how's everyone?"

"We're all planning surprise visits!" Hazel said. "So when we show up randomly don't be surprised. Are you okay with that Mrs Sally?"

I ruffled Percy's hair. "Sure. I just REALLY have to clean out the guest room now. And Percy is going to help."

"Mom!" Percy whined."I wanna hang out with Frank Hazel and Annabeth!"

"We can help." Frank said.

"Hazel, Annabeth as a reward, I think I have some old dresses you can try on. I got a grey one that would suit you Annabeth, and a yellow one that might work on you Hazel."

Annabeth shrugged. "I don't really do dresses but Percy owes me a normal date."

"What do you think I am, a god?" Percy snorted.

Percy POV

How in the name of Olympus am I supposed to have a normal date? Gods, I'm doomed. But Annabeth looks excited and after the t-word. . . Okay, I gotta do it. I stood up. "Percy?" Frank asked.

"Date. Normal. Howwwww?" I groaned.

"Make sure you're around mortals. Lots of mortals. Don't be in a empty area for long. You could always stay by the water too. You're most powerful there.''

I nodded. "Good idea. Where should I take her?" I get to worry about normal things.

Frank shrugged. "You know her best."

"True, but she's hard to please."

"I have an idea." Hazel said, coming into the room.

Annabeth POV

"Annabeth!" Sally called. "Your father is on the phone!"

I groaned and dragged my sorry ass out of bed. I was exhausted. I could sleep for days. "Where are you going?" Percy complained.

"I'm talking on the phone." I said calmly.

"Fine." Percy pouted. I limped out of the room and to the kitchen, taking the phone from Sally's hand. "Hey dad." I said.

"ANNABETH! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Dad shouted. I yelped as his voice reverberated painfully around my head. "I'm okay dad."

"Annabeth." He warned. "I talked to Athena."

"Since when do you two co-parent?" I demanded.

"You were in greek hell?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"Do you want to stay with the Jacksons?"

"For a while."
"Okay."

"You're agreeing?" I asked, surprised.

"Whatever you think is best for you sweetheart." Dad said. "Just. . . visit. Okay?"

"I will. I promise."

Percy POV

We were outside Paul's prius arguing over who got to drive. "Percy." Annabeth snapped. "I cannot trust a teenage boy behind the wheel of a car."

"You can trust me with your life! Why is this different?"

"Because this is the mortal world and-"

"Nope. I'm driving." I said firmly.

'Percy."

"Annabeth!" I pleaded.

She huffed. "Fine." We got in the car, me smirking Annabeth sulking. "Where are we going Percy?" Annabeth asked. I looked over at her. "Secret."

"I hate you. I also hate surprises." Annabeth muttered.

"Too bad." We drove in silence until I decided that Annabeth had had long enough to be grumpy. "Come on!" I said, taking her hand. "Let's have a nice night. No angry Annabeth."

"I just like being angry over ordinary things." Annabeth murmured.
