My POV, yay! At least, my OC's. Or myself. Whatever. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Rewind to the last chapter, and the chapter before than, and before that. We already said we did not own PJO, didn't we?

Sarah POV

I woke up, the sunlight gleaming in my eyes. I thought about the game last night, and the news that had arrived a while later.

I sighed, grabbing a fresh Camp Half-Blood T-shirt and a pair of jeans. I hurried to the bathroom and flicked the shower on, dowsing myself with the warm water.

I felt my muscles wake, as a new burst of energy rushed inside me. I climbed out, slipping on my clothes and patting my hair dry. Staring into the reflection in the mirror, I smiled, satisfied with the way I looked.

I went out, to find my siblings wide-awake. A huge figure was in the middle of the room, sweeping the floor . . .

Clean up! Gods, how could I forget!

As if he was reading my mind (which is pretty easy to do, considering the fact he was pretty much like me), Percy grinned, and pointed to the figure. "Don't worry Sar. We've got cleaning covered! Tyson's here!"

Tyson flipped around, and dropped the broom in his hand. He smiled a beaming smile, and ran towards me to choke my life out of me. His arms welcomed me in an embrace that would've popped my eyes out of their sockets.

"Big sister!" he greeted, his arms hugging me tighter. Percy smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Tyson, a little less on the hug," I warned, breathless.

His arms immediately let go, flinging back to his side. "Sorry," he apologized. "Happy to see big sister well." He smiled, before grabbing his broom and began sweeping up the place once again.

I smiled and ran a brush through my curls, watching as Care went ahead and ran inside the bathroom before Percy could even take a step forward. I laughed, watching as Percy scowled.

Soon, I found myself at the Poseidon table, staring at the food in front of me as my stomach started doing flips. Butterflies fluttered inside my stomach in a chaotic manner, sending my mind into a wild spin.

Care didn't look at better. She probably didn't get any sleep last night, and I could see with the bags under her eyes. Her skin was slightly pale, and her fingers were shaking terribly. The poor girl hardly touched her food, probably too worried about meeting her dad for the first time.

Percy and I shared a look, and we both took one of her hands and squeezed it. She looked up, her eyes full of excitement and worry.

"What if he's not proud of me?" she whispered. "What if he doesn't even love me?"

I did my best to smile, despite the whole butterfly thing going on in my stomach. "It's going to be fine, Care," I urged, squeezing her hand one more time.

She just nodded and finally touched her food. Percy released her hand and began poking at some broccolis, scooping them inside his mouth. I could tell he was kind of nervous. He was shaking slightly, running his fingers through his jet-black hair repeatedly.

My stomach decided not to eat, despite the fact I might starve to death after training today. I pushed my plate away, starting to feel queasy. "Peanut butter . . ." I heard Tyson mumble, staring at the rest of my food.

I laughed, and pushed it towards him. "Take it, big guy. I'm not that hungry," I told him, and his giant hands reached out to grab those sandwiches on the plate.

The chatting in the pavilion was less noisy this day, as tension filled the air with a nervous feeling to it. Demigods were whispering among each other, trying to break the tension among themselves.

Percy looked at us and was about to say something, when a light appeared at our table, blinding us temporarily. We turned our heads, and watched as the other demigods did the same thing.

We looked at the direction, to find Apollo instead of our dad. "Aw, come on!" he yelled. Thunder boomed in the sky, as if to laugh at the sun god. "Not funny, Hermes!"

He looked down from the sky, to stare at us demigods. Percy, Care and I shifted nervously, as he stood in the middle of our table. Apollo seemed to notice this and climbed off, heading over to his own table, mumbling, "Stupid brother . . . revenge . . . lucky . . ."

Care sighed sadly, and I knew her hopes were recently crushed. For a second, she thought Poseidon would appear, and instead, the stupid music god appeared in his place, on our table.

I heard that! Apollo's voice muttered in my mind. I shook my head, dismissing the voice curtly.

Seconds ticked by, and everyone was twice as nervous. Everyone except for the Apollo cabin, of course. They had their dad, and he was so laid-back that the tension between his kids broke easily.

Percy got up, not able to take the silence and wait. "This is taking too long. I'm just going to go to—"

Suddenly, the whole pavilion shut down, as blinding lights appeared in the room one by one. We all turned away, which was kind of hard considering the fact that the lights were pretty much everywhere.

I turned back, sure that the light had subsided, and stared at the seat next to Percy.

Care blinked. "Y-you're . . . y-you're . . ."

The god smiled. "That's right, Caroline. I am Poseidon, your father."

Caroline POV

Just when I'd given up all hope of my dad ever coming to camp, a bunch of bright lights filled the Pavilion. I shut my eyes tight. After the light subsided, I opened my eyes and saw a man sitting in the seat next to Percy's.

Me eyes widened. I stuttered, "Y-you're... Y-you're..."

The man smiled. "That's right, Caroline. I am Poseidon, your father."

Before I even knew what I was doing, I jumped on my dad, giving him the biggest hug I have ever given anyone. He seemed startled by my hug but hugged me back. He smelled like salt water and it called me.

After ten more seconds of that, I pulled away and sat in the seat next to his. I turned to Sarah and saw her staring at Dad with a wide-open mouth. I scooted closer to her and swatted her arm playfully.

"Don't just sit there!" I whispered with a smile.

She blinked a couple times and nodded. She walked over, stopped behind Dad, and tapped his shoulder. Dad turned around and hid face broke out in a wide smile.

"My dear Sarah!" he exclaimed, standing up and wrapping her in a hug. "You've grown into a beautiful young woman since the last time I saw you!" Sarah blushed a bit at the praise.

"Daddy!" Tyson yelled excitedly. Dad moved from Sarah's hug and hugged Tyson. "Hello, son!"

I looked away from the happy little family reunion and around the Pavilion. I saw Annabeth with Athena, Travis and Connor with Hermes, and Nico with Hades. I wonder how that is going . . .Nico had confided in me that he didn't have a very good relationship with his dad . . .

"What took so long, Daddy?" Tyson asked innocently around a mouthful of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

"Well, Zeus had to instruct on some things," he replied. "Which were completely useless." Thunder boomed and Dad rolled his eyes. "They were!"

I chuckled. My dad us the bomb! In his Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda shorts, and Birkenstocks, he looked so modern and (believe it or not) cool for a thousand years old god. He took off his battered "NEPTUNE'S LUCKY FISHING HAT" hat and slapped it on my head with a smile. It was a little big and fell in my eyes. I heard Dad's laugh, like a big wave crashing on the shore of a beach, and it made me happy.

I slid the hat up and stated, "I like it." Dad, Sarah, and Percy laughed and I joined in. Tyson smiled widely, still eating PB&J sandwiches.

Chiron stood up and pounded his hoof on the stone floor, making a loud hammering sound.

"Attention!" he yelled. "Attention!" The talking died down and everyone turned to Chiron. "Firstly, I would like to say how much of a pleasure it is to have you all here—" He was interrupted by cheering and clapping from the campers. I joined in and yelled, "WHOO!" Dad glanced at me and chuckled. When the clapping and cheering ceased, Chiron continued with a smile, "Yes. For today, the campers may have the day off. Tomorrow, we start back at training. Dismissed!"

I hopped up, Dad's hat falling in my eyes, only to have me push it back up, and eagerly said," Come on! Let's go!" Sarah and Percy flanked Dad on either side with Tyson jumping along with me.

"Where are we going?" Percy asked, smiling at my antics. I smiled slyly back.

"Can we go swimming? Off the beach?"

I saw Tyson's eyes light up. "Yes, yes, yes! Please!" he begged.

Sarah turned to Percy. "I'm game. What about you, Perce?"

Percy nodded. "You know I am! And you, Dad?"

Dad smiled and winked at me. "It's my favorite thing to do in my spare time," he replied.

I grinned widely. This having a dad around thing was working out so far... Let's just hope it stays like that.

On our way to the Poseidon cabin, we met Nico and Hades.

"Hey, Nico!" I said, smiling at him. "Hi, Lord Hades." Nico half smiled at me and I felt my cheeks get hot.

"Hey, Care," he replied.

Hades nodded at Dad.

"Poseidon," he greeted flatly.

"Hades," Dad replied just as flatly, but a bit coldly. I turned to Sarah and saw her glancing from Dad, to Hades, Nico, then me. I caught her eyes and my look begged her to tell me what just happened, but she gave me an 'I'll tell you later' look. I scowled at the ground. I hate those looks.

When I looked back up, Nico and Hades were walking to the Hades cabin.

Suddenly, Nico glanced back and we locked eyes for a split second, when he smiled.

Not a half smile, like I usually get, but a full fledged, simply beautiful smile.

My breath caught in my throat and my neck and face got hot. I turned away and continued walking to my cabin.

Family first, Nico next. I sighed at that thought.

This was going to be difficult.

Next chapter next week! Sorry about Care not being here... I'm a bad half-sister... Anyways, love you! :) Review!
