A/N: Hello! I'm back!
I know it's been a long time since my last update, but I have three fan fictions going on right now (I know I should probably finish one before starting another, but once I get a good idea, I hate to not write it down) and life has been crazy recently, even during the summer. So much for having more time to write. Sigh.
Another thing- please, please review! I don't care what type of review it is- a quick 'great!', constructive criticism, even if this is the worst thing you have ever read and you just feel like flaming in the reviews section all day- I'm fine with that. Everyone has those days once in a while, right? ;) Your reviews will be appreciated, I promise. I was really sad when I didn't get any reviews for the last chapter. L
Also, I realize that I did get the ages wrong in the last chapter- Piper is two years older than Sadie, and Annabeth and Percy are three years older. Which makes Piper twenty five-ish, not twenty four.
In addition, I know that in the last author's note, I said that Tristan knew about Piper being a demigod, but I figured that it'd be more interesting if he didn't. So that's been changed.
So now that we've got those things cleared up, I'm going to stop babbling and we can get to the disclaimer, then the actual story!

Piper inspected the girl in front of her. She was most definitely Sadie Stone, the daughter of Aphrodite decided. She had the trademark bright blonde hair with colored highlights that were deep purple as of present, blue eyes, and was dashingly pretty. But at the same time, the famous actress was not at all what Piper had expected.
Her father being Tristan McLean, Piper probably shouldn't have been as quick to stereotype another celebrity as she had been. She knew first hand that despite shows of bravado on the screen, celebrities were, like everyone else, just normal people with stressful lives behind it all. But still, when her dad had first told Piper that he was working with Sadie Stone in his new movie, she had expected a stuck up, big-headed girly-girl who thought that every second of her life was the right time to wear makeup. A bit like Drew, perhaps. So when she really met Sadie, Piper was pleasantly surprised.
She was dressed casually in jean shorts and a slightly dirty and wrinkled T-shirt that read, My Other Car is a Griffin. Her blonde hair was tied up in a messy ponytail, her shoes were a pair of old, worn out Nikes, and as far as Piper could tell, the famous actress wasn't wearing a single speck of makeup. Instead of carrying some sort of designer handbag, an old canvas bag, with several papers peeking out, was swung over one shoulder, and her face was kind and genuine when she thanked Piper for helping her.
"I'm Sadie," She said out of courtesy, though it was obvious who she was. "It's so great to finally meet you! Your dad talks about you a lot, by the way." she added, winking.
"That's nice to hear," Piper said, smiling politely. Despite the fact that Sadie looked like any random person, not a celebrity, and that she was treating Piper like a friend, the daughter of Aphrodite still felt somewhat awkward around the girl that she had only seen in tabloids and movies before this day. "It's great to meet you, too."
At that moment, Jason, Piper's husband of three years, stepped out of his father-in-law's changing room, perhaps hearing the commotion going on outside.
"This is my husband, Jason," Piper said immediately, glad to have something to do.
"Sadie," the actress said, extending a hand to Jason. "It's great to finally meet you both," she added, addressing both Piper and Jason."
"Jason Grace, as Piper mentioned," Jason said, smiling respectfully, though Piper could clearly see that he had been surprised by Sadie as much as Piper had been. "It's great to-"
But he never got to finish, as just then, the unthinkable happened.
A dark figure jumped out of the shadows.
Sadie was caught totally unawares when it happened. One moment, she had been talking pleasantly with Piper and Jason Grace. The next, something jumped out of nowhere.
Admittedly, Sadie's fighting skills were somewhat rusty, as for the past few years, she had been living mostly in the mortal world, but her instincts still kicked in immediately before she had even registered the situation. In seconds, she had drawn her staff and wand from the Duat. (She had gotten a lot better at this skill as the years went by.) She quickly went to cast some sort of disabling spell at creature.
And then she got a good look at it.
It was like nothing Sadie had ever fought before. It was like a huge rabid wolf, with thick black hair and huge teeth. "Hellhound!" She heard Piper yell.
Wait, what?! How would Piper know what it was?
Sadie quickly spun around to face Piper, Jason, and Tristan.
And she saw an extremely strange sight.
Tristan looked like he was about to have a heart attack. His eyes were wide open, jaw dropping to the floor, frozen in fear. Sadie had expected Jason and Piper to look similar.
But- this was the strange part- the young couple looked anything but. Piper was brandishing a large bronze knife; Jason was swinging at the hellhound with a long golden sword.
What?
But then Sadie remembered something from her past, back when she was still young and living in Brooklyn. Two people much like the ones she now saw in front of her. The young actress fished around in her memory for the right word.
And then she finally got a good look at Piper's orange T-shirt, as she spun around and ducked to avoid a swing from one of the hellhound's huge paws.
And the pieces finally clicked together.
Demigods. Piper and Jason were demigods.
A/N: And there you go! Second chapter of When Two Worlds Meet!
I know this is somewhat on the short side, but we're going camping tomorrow, so I wanted to get something posted. Don't worry, I have a 1-month reprieve from clarinet lessons, so I should get more time to write. Hopefully.
Please reveiw! They always make my day. Even a little smiley face would be awesome! Your reviews will always be appreciated, whether I reply or not. Thanks!
Have a great day,
Hestia
