Disclaimer-I don't own Percy Jackson or IHOP
"Come on Percy! You don't want to keep our parents waiting do you?" Annabeth yelled to her husband. Percy and Annabeth were just leaving when Percy remembered he forgot something and ran back inside their apartment. Annabeth stood in the doorway jiggling her keys waiting for Percy and her ADHD wouldn't let her stand still. She needed to lock the door, but Percy was taking forever to come. Annabeth knew her mother wasn't the type of person who liked to kept waiting, and if they left now now they should arrive at exactly 7:20 giving them 10 minutes to look at their menus and order appitizers and drinks.
Exactly then, Percy came running through the doorway holding something blue in his hand. "What was so important that you almost made us late?" Annabeth asked impatiently while locking the front door. "I had to grab some blue food coloring so I could dye my pancakes blue. Percy said. "You didn't want me to eat regular colored pancakes did you? "Actually yes, it wouldn't have killed you to eat regular pancakes just once. You could of made us late!" Annabeth said frusturated. "How did it take you so long to find it anyway? We have a case full in the kitchen cabinet." "I may of forgot where you put it." Percy answered though it sounded more like a question then an answer.
Annabeth just rolled her eyes. This is exactly why she gave him the nickname Seaweed Brain. They walked in silence the rest of the way to IHOP except for when Percy would comment on a random bird or person he saw. Annabeth looked at her phone when she reached the ront doors of IHOP and she smiled. They got there at exactly 7:20. "Alright come on Percy, let's go and find us a table."
"Hi, can we have a table for four?" Annabeth asked the waiter. "Um...but there are only two of you." Mark the waiter asked with a confused look on his face. Annabeth just rolled her eyes at the waiter. She didn't even smirk. but Percy started laughing and couldn't control his laughter. "We'll be having two guests joining us." Annabeth explained slowly like she was talking to a five year old. Rick just smiled at Annabeth and replied "Okay then come right this way." He led them to a table in the center of the room."Here are you menus. Now what do you want to drink?" "We will take 2 cokes and two waters with lemons." Percy answered automatically. Annabeth just started staring at Percy with a quizzical look on her face. "You don't think I would know what everyone would want to drink. I have had dinner with our parents before." Percy said with a smug smile. Annabeth just replied with a smile. They both started looking through their menus until Percy saw Athena and Poseidon come in the door out of the corner of his eye.
"Annabeth, our parents are here." exclaimed Percy "And our appetizer haven't been ordered yet!" Annabeth looked over and saw a soaked Athena and a smiling Poseidon. "I will go and greet them while you go and order the appetizer. Percy spotted Mark putting dishes in the sink. "Mark can you bring a sampler appetizer to our table." Percy called. "Sure, I will bring it out in a second." Mark called back. Percy then went to greet his dad and Athena.
"Mom, I am sure that he didn't mean to get you wet. You just startled him." Percy heard Annabeth saying in an attempt to calm her mother. "Sure, It was just an accident. You startled me." Poseidon said while trying to keep a straight face and attempting not to laugh."Lady
Athena, Dad, what is wrong?" Percy asked when he got to them. "Your father soaked me when I walked behind him." Athena said while glaring at him. "Hey, you scared me. I was just protecting myself." Poseidon tried to defend himself while not laughing. "Mom, I'm sure it was just an accident. Just let Poseidon touch you so we go and eat. Percy ordered an appetizer." Annabeth tried reasoning. "I will not have him touch me!" "How about Percy?" "NO!" "Come on Thee, the appetizer is getting cold." Poseidon complained since he was hungry. "Don't ever call me Thee again." "Percy, Annabeth, you two go in and start eating. I will get her." Poseidon said. Percy and Annabeth didn't really want to leave them alone, but they knew better than to disobey a god.
Thee, you can either come in or stand out here because I am hungry." Poseidon smiled smugly at Athena. "Fine you may touch my arm, but it better not be longer than 2 seconds. Athena finally answered. Poseidon laughed, and did something that surprised Athena. He kissed her. Athena then did something that surprised herself even more. She kissed him back.
Hi! This story will end up having a few more chapters. This isn't the last chapter! About the ending, I ship Pothena and I just had to add a Pothena moment in the story. Sorry if this chapter sucks, I originally wrote this at 3:15 am.
Response to the review-
B-ballismylife14-I got this idea when I went to IHOP so that was my inspiration. Olive Garden would of been a great choice though
