"Water Weed!" I heard Athena shriek, I saw Poseidon flinch out of the corner of my eye, it sound like Athena was pissed with him, yet he made no move to run screaming to Hades to have mercy on his soul. Instead a smirk spread across his face while anyone near him backed away as not to incur Athena's wrath, trust, me, the last time Poseidon got this big a reaction out of her... well it wasn't pretty, but it was violent.

"Yes Athena?" Poseidon replied calmly as she stormed in the room, her midnight curls flying behind her, she was wearing jeans and a grey hoodie, did I mention that when we're not in Solstics we relax in this special room down the hall that was made for human size and is filled with chairs and sofa's and the like.

"You... you..." Athena let out a scream of frustration and anger, I blinked, surprised, he had never envoked this reaction out of her before, and he had done some stupid things, ike balancing a ball point pen on his nose until Athena had asked him thirty times why he was doing it, but he refused to answer her, finally as she asked him again he bopped the pen to hit Athena in the face, that was what happened last time, it was not pretty.

"She's furious." Hephaestus whispered to me, I nodded, wishing Artemis was here, she could usually calm Athena down, most of the times, but even if she were here, I doubt that she could cure her sister's anger.

"I'm going to try and calm Athena down." I told him quickly.

"May Hades have mercy on your soul." He snarked, sparing him a glare I turned at the sound of glass smashing, it seems that in my momentary lapse in attention Athena had thrown a flower vase at Poseidon's head. I gulped and determinedly walked over to Athena.

"Thee? You wanna tell me what he did?" I asked timidly, Athena turned to me with a full-force glare until she realised who I was.

"He..." She let out another scream, spared Poseidon a glare that would kill mortals and then pulled something out from behind her back, at first I didn't know what it was, it was so... mangled, then finally I reconised the shape, and noticed the pointy tiny little spear poking out of it's stomach.

"It's an owl." I cried incredulously. "And your absoloutely sure Poseidon did this?" I asked trying to rationalise it, Athena handed me a green page.

Hey Theenie, I thought you could use a friend, so I bought this stuffed Owl and gave it to you, happy whatever holiday it is.

Poseidon.

I handed the note back incredulously and took away the poor mangled little owl. I spared Poseidon my own whithering glare and stalked back to my seat on the couch.

"May Hades have no mercy on his soul." I growled before stuffing the little owl into Hephaestus's chest, I never took my eyes off Athena and Poseidon as Athena drew her dagger and held it against Poseidon's neck.

"Any last words?" She asked in the silence of the room, everyone was watching this with a sickening pleasure.

"Is it me or did the room just heat up when you walked in?" Poseidon said, Athena stared him down with a steely confusion before cracking up loudly, she sheathed her dagger and let herself laugh harder, I couldn't resist, I cracked up as well, as did many of the girls in the room.

"Poseidon, where in Hades did you get that line from?" I asked as I wiped tears of mirth from my eyes, I found him pouting. "Poseidon, that line sucked, how do you get girls to fall in love with you?" I asked incredulously.

"It worked on Sally." Poseidon huffed, it set me and Athena off in a new round of laughter. (Percy's mother in case you forgot)

"... Dude, worst pick up line. Ever." I barely heard Hephaestus say as I continued laughing.

"Think you could do better?" Poseidon challenged, Hephaestus shrugged as I recovered from my laughter. "I dare you to." I blinked in amusement as Hephaestus turned to me, I quirked an eyebrow at him expectantly.

"Madamoiselle, voulez-vous m'accompagner a diner ce vendredi soir?" I let my lips quirk into a grin as I contemplated this request, everyone was on edge waiting for my reply. (Miss, would you like to accompany me to dinner this friday night?)

"Bien sur, monsiur, comment pourrais-je refuser une offre d'un tel homme charmant?" I replied in french. (Why of course sir, how could I refuse an offer from such a charming gentleman?)

"Great, it's a date." Hephaestus replied with a smirk, I flashed him a smile before smirking at Poseidon.

"And that is how you pick up a classy woman." I snarked before getting up and leaving the rec room. I had a date friday night and Poseidon just got OWNED.


Haha, loved writing this. Poseidon got owned, right. Thanks to for being the first reviewer, thanks, for that, really boosted my confidence. And here's your THIRD chapter in one night. I am on a ROLL.

I do not own Percy Jackson, or the Olympians. I also do not own the translations, I got them from google. Thanks and Peace. :D
