Hey guys, guess who's back with a new chapter. Yes you're right as always – it's me! I actually hoped I would be able to post it sooner, but I had to rewrite some part a few times until I got it the way I wanted.

And I really hate the end of the school year. I mean we have so much tests and exams and we're always buried in homework. I just can't wait for the summer vacation but it's more than a month away. Oh, I just want to rest a bit.

Anyway, enough with my complaining about my life, here are the answers to your wonderful reviews.

Rhythm15 – Well, I'm sure it's weird but Delphin is a god after all. And everything is possible in the Greek mythology – including talking dolphins.

Lunary - Oh, I'm really sorry about the missing words. I'll reread the chapter and correct the mistakes. And about the rest – you'll see what happens.

AgentDoubleONight – Oh, yes, I can totally imagine it, too. :) And you should trust Apollo a bit more. He's not such a bad guy. :)

CloudPurple – Wow, thanks! I love the pairing, too, although I don't thing there are enough stories about it (I think I have read only one so far.) And that's the reason I'm writing my own stories. After all when I want to read anything about Apollo and fem!Percy, I just have to open one of the files on my desktop.

Lady Syndra – Worry not! Pregnancy is on the way! :)

The Girl of war – Thanks! P.S. I read it but I still hadn't had the time to review. I promise I'll do it soon.

TurntechGodHeadDaveSLover – Now that's a review that really cheers me up. (I was laughing hysterically for about five minutes, but I think it was because I drank way too much coffee and ate too much sweet things that day, so please don't mind me and pretend that you didn't just read that.) Thanks for the review! It's good to know that I'm not alone (with the not updating on time thing.)

Dezil – Thanks! And don't worry, I always have fun when I'm writing. And if I don't write I think my head might explode with all these plot bunnies jumping around. :)

miyame-chan – Thank you! And I'm sure it must be horrible to open a normal book on Greek Mythology and to see your parents staring at you naked from the first page *shudders*

Miette in the Rain – As the good old Arnold Schwarzenegger says "I will be back"

Tired And Insprired – Hm, well, I honestly don't know. But I doubt that he would be sitting on a chair. But as I said, anything can happen in the Greek mythology.

I hope there are not many mistakes in this chapter but, hey, guys cut me some slack. Right now, here it's 12;30 and I haven't slept much last night so I'm exhausted. My eyes are dropping close as I write, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are mistakes.

Unwanted kisses, Unfriendly sharks and Pleasant meetings

Percy hated mornings. She hated when she had to wake up exactly at the most wonderful part of her dream. With a mild disappointment, she felt the daze of sleep fallen over her weaken and she began to wake up. But instead of bright sunlight coming in from the windows, the light falling on her face was soft and blue. The girl instinctively felt the place next to her with her hand, but her husband was not there. She blinked a few times, the events from yesterday finally returning to her. With a sigh she flopped back down on the pillow as she had rose to look around.

But a knock on the door made her stand up again. With a sigh she opened it, surprised to see the mermaid from yesterday standing there. "Good morning, my lady." She greeted. "Lord Poseidon asked me to wake you up for breakfast."

"Oh, thank you." Percy answered, her brain still not working very well from sleep. "I- I'll just change and come." The mermaid just nodded and bowed a little, before the goddess closed the door and walked over to her wardrobe. She slipped on a simple shirt and a pair of jeans. Thankfully, she still remembered the way from last night so she didn't have to stop and ask for directions.

"Good morning." Her father smiled as she entered the dining room. Amphitrite and Triton were already sitting on the table but there was one more person there.

"Percy!" Tyson cried as her ran to her (earning a sore look from their 'step mother') and enveloped her in a hug, literally lifting her off the ground.

"It's good to see you too Tyson." She managed to wheeze out, struggling to escape his too tight hold of her. Sensing her discomfort and her need for air, the Cyclops let her go and stepped back with a grin. "I'm so happy Daddy invited you!"

Percy couldn't help but let a happy laugh at his enthusiasm as they sat on the table. She looked up then, surprised to catch Triton stare at her with unfathomable expression. But as soon as she caught his eye he looked away as if nothing had happened, leaving her completely confused. But she didn't have the time to wonder about it as her dad engaged her in a conversation about the ocean life and the creatures living there. Tyson offered to show her around and, for her disappointment, Poseidon asked Triton to go with them so nothing would happen to them, but Percy knew that he was worried more for her safety than Tyson's as he was big enough to protect himself. And she was, too, able to take care of herself, but she guessed that his 'protective Daddy' instincts were kicking in. So she didn't say anything about it.

They decided to go right after breakfast as Triton had 'important business' later. The first place they went to was a huge underwater garden, which Percy guessed was Amphitrite's. And it was one of the most beautiful places she had ever been; even better than Persephone's garden in the Underworld. Before seeing this Percy hadn't even guessed that there existed so many and so different underwater flowers and plants. And they were just so colorful.

"This is amazing!" She gasped before stopping herself.

"Mother would be pleased that you think so," Triton said as he came to stand by her side. The irony in his voice was more than obvious but Percy pretended not to hear it. They continued their walk visiting many other places. Poseidon's daughter felt like she was in a completely different world. Or wasn't she? Everything was so different from the world above the surface.

Another thing that confused her greatly was Triton's behavior. She often caught him looking at her with some strange expression that she couldn't determinate.

"Be careful!" He advised as they walked on the edge of a huge rock. But unfortunately her foot slipped and she would have fallen in the dark pit bellow, if Triton hadn't caught her elbow and pulled her back. "Are you alright?" He asked as she breathed out loudly in shock. She glanced over the edge at the dark pit bellow. If she fell, she wouldn't have died but she would have been seriously injured. And it would hurt a lot.

"Thank you." She whispered to Triton who only nodded. They decided, even thought Percy protested, to continue their tour the next day. Returning back to the palace, Percy sighed heavily feeling extremely bored. Tyson was called to work and she was left alone to entertain herself as her dad had a meeting.

She wandered around for a long time, until it was time for dinner. She went to her room only to change her clothes in more appropriate, before heading to the dinner hall.

"Percy, Triton told me what happened." Her dad said as she took her place at the table. "Are you alright?" She suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. She was not a child for the Gods' sake. But a loud she only said. "Yes, dad." Hiding the annoyed tone in her voice. "You should be more careful." Poseidon advised softly. "I'm not a child, dad." She said, more forcefully than she meant. Immediately she regretted it and opened her mouth apologize, but Amphitrite interrupted her. "You should not talk like that to your father!" The woman snapped. "He was kind enough to invite you to stay here against everyone's wishes." "Amphitrite!" Poseidon yelled wide eyed. Percy gritted her teeth angrily, pushing her chair back and standing up. "Then if my presence is so unwanted here I will take my leave." He father called her name after her desperately but she left the room, going outside. She sat down on the ground and put her head in her hands. She was not crying but trying to sooth her temper and hurt. She could see the through in Amphitrite's words and wondered why she agreed to come in the first place. A huge white shark passed close by and came closer to rub herself in Percy's side like a cat. Clearly not afraid, the girl reached out and patted the shark's head.

"It likes you." A voice stated and she turned around. Triton was standing a few meters away from her, watching. "I apologize for my mother's words." He came to sit by her side.

"There is no need." Percy shook her head. "They are truth."

Triton did not say anything and Poseidon's daughter glanced at him only to catch him staring at her. He cleared his throat and leaned in closer. "You are a very beautiful woman, Persephone." She didn't know what to do as he leant in to kiss her but her mind was screaming 'Wrong!' She pulled away from the kiss.

"Triton, no," She said. "I cannot. I don't feel that towards you." The look of desire that was into his eyes just a few moments ago disappeared, replaced by one of hurt and anger. He started to stand up and leave but she caught his wrist. "Please, Triton, let us be friends. At least try to." He only gave a curt nod and disappeared inside, leaving her alone with her thoughts.

The next two days in Atlantis passed quiet well. Triton was angry with her the day after the kiss but then his mood got better and actually tried to be friends. Percy did not know whather father had said to Amphitrite but she said nothing more to her and the girl was grateful for that. She, Triton and Tyson finished their tour and often wandered together finding new beautiful places. Some kind of friendship developed between Percy and the mermaid who had helped her the first day – Jasmine. But at the end of her stay Poseidon's daughter had grown to miss Apollo terribly. They talked everyday through Iris but it was still not the same. She just longed to drown in his embrace and feel his lips again on her.

On the day before Percy had to leave, she and Triton decided to take one last walk around. This time Percy brought her sword with her and asked Triton to do the same. He was surprised by her request, because there had been no troubles since Kronos had fallen. But eventually he agreed when Percy told him that she had a bad feeling. They decided to go to an underwater lawn they had found a few days before. It was a beautiful place, full with fish and other underwater wildlife.

But when they went there today they were surprised to find it empty. There wasn't a living creature in miles around. Triton frowned, alerted and gripped his trident tightly in his hand. Percy uncapped Riptide and got ready for a fight. Obviously something had scared the fish away. They walked forward slowly, looking around. A growl sounded nearby and both turned in that direction.

Percy's eyes widened. A shark. An enormous shark, probably bigger than a battle ship was standing in front of them. It's huge mouth was opened showing two rows of knife-sharp teeth.

"It doesn't seem friendly." The goddess whispered to her half-brother who was frowning.

"It isn't." He agreed.

Then it lunged at them. Percy rolled away just in time, as the shark jaws closed just where she was standing a moment ago. She watched as Triton threw his trident, wounding the beast but this didn't stop it. It turned around and attacked Percy again.

Triton jumped in front of her and pushed her out of the way. The shark hit him with its tale, causing him to crash in a huge rock. Now Percy was angry.

This time she didn't move as the beast came towards her. She waited for the moment its opened jaws were right in front of her, before jumping and sticking her sword in the shark's upper jaw right to the hilt. The animal roared angrily, trashing around wildly, trying to take the sword away. Eventually it swam away disappearing from sight.

"Triton!" Percy cried, running towards where he had fallen. He was lying on the ground, but she could see his wounds were already healing. She helped him stand up.

"Where is the shark?" He asked looking around as if expecting an attack any moment.

"Gone." Percy explained simply. "What exactly was that thing anyway?" She asked. "Usually all the sea creatures are friendly towards me but this one seemed to really hate us."

"It didn't hate me." Triton said, watching her with concern. "It was trying to get to you."

"What? Why?"

"Damn me if I have any idea." Triton growled. "Come, we must get away from here as fast as possible."

In stead of walking they used what was called water traveling. The sea gods often used it to get from one place underwater to another. It was faster and less tiring than mist travelling.

They appeared in front of Poseidon's Palace and hurried to go inside. They ran through the many corridors looking for their father, until they found him in the throne room, speaking with Delphin again.

Poseidon smiled as he saw them at first but then his smile fell. "Triton, Percy, what's wrong?"

"We were just attacked by one of Oceanus's pets." Triton said quickly and Percy looked at him surprised.

"Are you two alright?" The Sea God asked in concern.

"I am fine." Triton said. "It was not after me anyway. It was trying to get to Percy."

Poseidon looked at his daughter before exchanging a fast glance with Delphin. "Well, I don't think it's something we should worry about." He said suddenly. "It had probably escaped it's master and tried to get revenge on Percy. Now, sweetheart, why don't you go to rest? I'm sure you must be tired." He added in a cheerful voice that just sounded wrong. But Percy agreed, pretending not to see the dark shadow in his eyes.

When the day to leave came she had completely forgotten about her encounter with the shark. She talked with Apollo in the morning and he promised he would wait for her on the beach. She could see her own impatience mirrored in his voice. She said quick goodbyes to her father and her brothers (She had started to consider Triton a brother) and left with the same Hippocampi that had brought her there.

Percy smiled as she saw the surface of the water came closer and closer. Apollo was waiting on the beach, leaning against the sun chariot. His eyes were closed and he was not looking at her.

"Apollo!" She called running towards him. His eyes snapped open and his face split into a large grin as he saw his wife. She threw herself in his waiting arms and he lifted her in the air, spinning her around. "I missed you." He whispered pulling her in a long, passionate kiss. They pulled away breathless and happy. "I missed you so much." Percy murmured with her head buried in his chest. They kissed again and again until finally separated. "Let us go home."

The 'ride' home could only be described as a merry one. Percy told Apollo of the beauty of her father's realm and palace. He listened with interest as he had never been there himself. When she reached the part of her and Amphitrite's fight, she noticed that his hands tightened around the wheel but he stayed perfectly silent. The goddess contemplated if she should tell him about her and Triton's kiss. She didn't want to keep secrets from him but she also know what his reaction would be. He would be furious and angry but, of course, not at her, never at her. Probably he would turn the chariot right around and do something rushed. So she didn't tell him and skipped to the part where they became friends. Unfortunately Apollo felt that something was wrong and just after she finished her tale, he asked. "Has something else happened?" Percy looked at him a bit alarmed but shook her head anyway. He stiffened slightly, not looking at her. "You are lying." He stated, eyes glued ahead. "Now tell me what happened." He didn't looked angry just annoyed and…was that a fright? "Triton tried to kiss me." She dropped suddenly forgetting all her plans to tell it carefully and slowly. Apollo hit the brakes at once and turned to look at her with a wild look on his face. "I'm going to kill him." He growled cursing loudly in Ancient Greek. "He must learn not to touch something that is not his!"

He started glowing slightly and Percy immediately reached out gripping his wrist. "No, Apollo! I pushed him away and told him I felt nothing towards him. He had done nothing since then, I swear." The Sun God took a few deep breaths, trying to sooth his nerves and jealousy. Her hand, gently rubbing his back helped a lot. "You know I love you, right?" She asked quietly. "I would not cheat to you with anyone." He nodded slowly, before unexpectedly pulling her into a long kiss. "I'm frightened." Apollo said after they separated. "I'm frightened that you would leave me for someone else." His hand, clenching into a fist a minute ago now was gently caressing the side of her face. "You are all that I'm leaving for now, Percy. I could not breathe without you." She smiled slightly and kissed the side of his face. "I'm here and I'm not going anywhere." Her finger circled the simple golden band on his finger, which they had exchanged with their vows on the wedding day. It was a human tradition, yes, but for her it meant a lot and he would do anything to make her happy.

"Let's go home and I will show you exactly how much I missed you." He said cockily with his usual crooked smile placed on his mouth. Percy giggled knowing that the storm had passed.

Their home looked exactly like she left it. Sunlight was entering through the huge windows and the atmosphere itself was cheerful. She dropped her bags and the ground and entered the huge living room. Suddenly the ground disappeared from beneath her feet and she found herself laughing in her husband's arms as he carried her upstairs to their bedroom. He laughed with her, kicking the door opened and dropping her on the bed. Quickly he threw his shirt off and followed her. "Someone's impatient" She laughed as in a less than a minute Apollo had managed to take off her shirt and bra while kissing her. He only growled in respond, too busy to shower her body with hot open-mouthed kisses. She gasped as he nipped her skin gently with his teeth. He then followed the same path up her body, engaging her lips in a searing kiss. Clearly he had missed her in most than the platonic way.

Later they lay together cuddled in the middle of the huge bed. Percy sighed contently as her husband's hand drew patterns across her back. "Welcome home," He whispered with an adoring smile. "It feels good to be home." The girl retorted quietly snuggling closer and reaching up to place a sweet kiss on his jaw as she couldn't reach higher. Apollo chuckled slightly and leaned in so she could kiss him properly. "I'm so tired" Percy groaned a few minutes later. "Then go to sleep," He chuckled brushing the fallen strands of hair away from her face. He started humming a gentle tune, and soon Percy found herself dozing off in his arms, pleasant dreams filling her mind.

That's the chapter. I hope you like it.
