I admit, Poseidon's palace was astonishing. It was made of lots of shining white marble and sea water making everything much more beautiful. There was kelp decorations all throughout the throne room and my father's throne was made out of white marble and gold and looked amazing. My father as usual was wearing his Hawaiian shirt and cacky Bermuda shorts with rainbows. He looked at our direction and smiled. "Welcome children!" his voice thundered throughout the room

"Hello father." I said respectably

"Percy. And this must be Sofia." He said

"Yes- yes me – I am father." Sofia said

"Well welcome to my palace. I see you have already met Sally, your mother."

"Yes we have."

"Father why haven't me and Sofia and I met? Why didn't we grow up together?" I asked curiously

My father paused for a moment, "Percy, well, you two have met. In fact you two spent 9 months very "close" together." My father bursted into a very loud laugh and continued for a minute until he realized how nobody else was laughing

"Seriously dad, why haven't we met?" I asked

"Percy I don't want to discuss that now. I have found my daughter! Prepare a feast right away! This calls for some celebration!" My father said as he ran up grabbed Sofia and along with all the other servants flooded into the main hall as they prepared the feast. I couldn't help but feel jealous, again. When Poseidon claimed me, it was only because he needed me to clear his name. But the way he talked about Sofia was as if he won a game show or something just because he found Sofia. And I found her, not him. I sat down on a step and stared at the ground trying to cool my anger. But just the something floated over towards me. I looked up and saw a spirit. The same I saw during my very first quest.

"Percy, why aren't you with your father and sister?" she asked as she sat beside me

"Huh, as if my father actually wants me with him, all he cares about is Sofia now. A big feast, huge honor, he even cleared his entire schedule. "I said

"Percy, I understand your anger but for those of us who have been alive during a certain period of time, well we know what is going on. But the oath we swore upon will kill us if we ever dare speak the truth. But for now Percy, you will just need to put up with the fame until it is time for the truth." With that she vanished

"Thanks for all the help." I grumbled

Just then Sofia opened the door as music thundered in the background and looked at me.

"Percy! Why are you here all alone? Come on, this party is soo much fun!" She said as she pulled me in.

The next few hours would have been the greatest of my life if I wasn't so depressed. There was great food, awesome music, and just an amazing place. Everyone was having a good time except for me. I wanted to go back to camp, see Annabeth. But I knew this wasn't over, my, I mean our birthday was in 5 days, I couldn't wait to see what kind of party he would have next. But of course it would mainly be about Sofia, as usual. But finally the party came to an end and the hippocampus took us home. We arrived at camp during dinner, but we were so full and tired that we didn't even stay for the campfire. The next morning was normal, thankfully. We had a regular schedule that Sofia was surprisingly good at. She already had training when she was Gaea so she was a great fighter. She was just as good a sword fighter as me, which made me happy because I would have some good practice. She was an incredibly skilled archer and a smart thinker. In a way she was like all the gods and goddesses. She had talents from all of them which made me wonder. Aren't twins supposed to be identical? Then why didn't I have all of Sofia's talent? I tried not to let it bother me. But what happened next really took me by surprise.

We were practicing in the arena when Nico Di Angelo stepped into the arena.

Sofia pulled me aside and said, "Who is that?"

"Um, that's Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades, actually Ambassador of Hades. Why?"

"He's soo hot, and those muscles, oh my god! You have to introduce me to him!"

"Alright, alright, I'll introduce you." And we walked over to Nico.

Sofia's Point Of View

Nico was soo adorable. He was so hot with a perfect body that wasn't extremely buff, but just right. He had like green mixed with honey colored eyes.

We walked over and said, "Hey Percy! And..?"

"Uh, Nico, this is Sofia, Sofia this is Nico. Sofia is um, my twin sister."

"What? Really? How?" He asked

"Uh, I don't know. Poseidon wouldn't tell us and if my mom knew anything, she didn't share it."

"Oh I see. So Sofia you liking camp so far?" he asked

Oh my god, he talked to me. Ok, Ok, keep it cool girl. "Yeah it's pretty awesome."

"That's good. I remember my first days here, I hated it. Me and Percy, well, we've been through a lot. Some, I'm embarrassed to mention." He said

"Hey man it's all good now. I would have done the same." Percy said. He looked over and some kind of understanding passed between us, "Uh, hey I got to go. I need to talk to Annabeth. I'll see you around."

"Bye Percy." I said "So I hear you're the ambassador of Hades. How's that?"

"Oh well its tuff. My dad has a lot of work for me. But thankfully Persephone allows some me the weekends off and some days during the week. "

"That's so cool. I'm mean it's a big honor right?"

"Yeah, I get to go to the big council twice a year, and know about all the important events."

"Again, that is soo cool." I kind of realized this conversation was going boring. I remembered a trick that always got boys to compliment me or think I was pretty. Actually I had a few but this was my favorite. "Ah, ouch."

"What's wrong?" Nico asked as he grabbed my shoulders to make sure I was alright

"Um, I think there is something in my eye." I said as I rubbed my eye to make it watery

"Here let me see." he said as he looked into my right eye

I looked at him and tried to talk to him. It sounds crazy but the way I looked at him made him like me. He looked a bit longer then smiled, "Your ok. " I was so used to this trick that in a matter of seconds, he would ask me.

"So, um I was wondering…" he said as he scratched his head. Here we go… "I know we just met and all, but would you like to go to fireworks with me? Um there this Friday and well it's the biggest dating event of the year, so yeah."

"Oh sure, is it formal or casual?" I asked feeling like they should put me on display this Friday because I was ready to explode

"Oh well if you have a date, its formal, but if not, casual. So we are a formal"

"Oh great, I'm going to talk to some Aphrodite kids to pick out my dress. So I'll see you soon." I said as I gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked back to my cabin

I walked in and began jumping up and down and going crazy. Being ADHD and all, well this was normal. I didn't even notice Percy coming in.

"So I'm guessing all went well?" he asked

I grabbed Percy's hands and began dancing with him all around our cabin, "Oh it went fantastic! La da la dum la dum la la la." I said as I closed my eyes and twirled around with Percy. "He asked me to the fireworks."

"What really? That's so fast! Fireworks are the biggest dating event of the year. He must really like you."

"I know, he said that. Uh can't wait until Friday!"

"Yeah me too. I just asked Annabeth to fireworks. Guess we both have dates." he said as we kept dancing.
