Shout out time…lovermeforever04, Pure301, turtelover0511! They are the only ones that guessed my name right!

Sorry for not updating sooner but I was kind of mad about 2 reviews I got. On was from someone saying I suck and I jacked the idea for this story from someone else. Then they said that I suck…wow thank you person, you can not like my story but you don't have to tell someone they suck. Why can't people just be nice?

The other review I got was from the author of the story the said I jacked the idea from. I said I'm sorry that they think that, but I have had the idea fro this story fro about 3 months and plus I hadn't even heard of the story until you sent me that review. So I went and checked it out… my story and there story are two totally different stories. Mine is about all of the people who made it through the war coming back and seeing each other and there kids. The other person's is about…I really don't know, but it's nothing like mine!

Anyways … here's the next chapter.

Once again disclaimer…I don't own anything because I'm not the awesome Rick, sadly.

Josh's POV

I was running after Maddison when I heard someone yell my name. I turned around to see Matt running towards me. I stopped and let him catch up with me. "Hey Matt what's up?"

He clamped me on the shoulder and said "Nothing much little man. Where's your sister?"

I couldn't help but laugh because he was looking for my sister, which means I'm right about them! I smiled evilly "So…you and my sister, really I think you could do better. But if you must have my sister she's in cabin 3. And for five drachmas I'll stay out of the cabin, but you have to take my bag. Do we have a deal?"

He thought for a second, "Deal, but I'll have to pay you at dinner."

Wow I can't believe that really worked, what a sucker! I stuck out my hand and he shook it. Then I handed him my bag, and he ran off to fine Megan.

Man I've missed Megan. When I was here last we spent just about every minute possible with each other. We would do archery together. I take after my dad so I pretty much suck, but she would help me. She would rap her arm around me and help me get the right form. But I would always be too distracted by her arms around me to even care about the target or the other people looking at us. I remember one time she was doing this and my heart was pounding so loud all I could hear was her, so I didn't hear my dad calling my name. So he came up to the range and saw Megan with her arms around me. I never heard the end of it.

I figured she would be at the range getting in some extra shots before dinner. With this in mind I made my way to the archery range.

Shore enough there she was with some of her other siblings, just shooting away. She wasn't paying an attention to anything but the target I decide to sneak up behind her. I made a big circle to go behind. I was walking up behind her, but when I was about 10 feet away I stepped on a twig and it made a loud snapping sound. I froze praying to the Gods that she didn't hear me. Thankfully she didn't but one of her older sisters did. She was standing right next to Megan and she was a lefty so she just looked up at me without making a scene.

She looked up at me and smiled at me then made a head jester towards Megan. I know that she was asking if I was here to see Megan. I blushed and nodded. Her smile grew a little bit, and then she held up a finger for me to hold on a second. She turned to the girl on the other side of Megan. She jerked her head towards me and I couldn't help but blush. She smiled too. They both turned to go to the got to the other side of the range to give us some privies.

As they walked the one that that was on the fare side stopped in front of me and whispered, "Good luck Josh! I know she'll be happy to see you. She hasn't stopped talking about you since you were here last. And have fun!" She winked at me, and I blushed like crazy. Not because she winked at me but because she said Megan has been talking about me! And I've been thinking about her all the time. She makes me not be able to pay attention in class. This is hard since I love school, being a grandson of Athena and all. But since we met two years ago I haven't been able to stop thinking about her day or night.

I must have just been standing there like and idiot because one of her sisters that I thought went to the other side gave me a little push from behind. I really wasn't expecting this so I stumbled and almost ran into her. But luckily I was able to regain my balance before running into her. I heard some snickers from behind. I turned to see the two girls in the bushes covering there mouths truing not to burst out in laughter. I glared at them. Thankfully I inherited both of my mom and my dad's skills when it comes to glaring, so I had a pretty good one.

I took a deep breath and turned back to Megan. I really didn't know what I was going to say or do so I just did the natural thing. I tapped her on the shoulder.

She didn't turn around she just put on another arrow and said "Whatever it is can wait till my quiver is empty."

I smiled and decided to mess with her a little. "Now is that any way to treat you long lost best friend?" Yes I know what you're thinking, WHAT! You like your best friend? Yes, I do big deal. Besides my dad married his best friend. And so did George Lopez's character in that movie. If George Lopez can do it even if it was just in a movie so can right?

She snapped her head around to look at me and had a huge smile on her face. She practically dropped her bow to give me a hug. This hug I swear to the Gods was the best hug I have ever gotten!

Still in the hug she said, "Josh! I've missed you so much! What are you doing here don't you have school?"

I pulled away from the hug so I could look her in the eyes. "I've missed you too! We have a long weekend and there some reunion thing for my parents this weekend. And is it a crime for a guy to see his best friend?"

She smiled at me. She has one of those smiles that are contagious, so of course I had to smile too. I was stared into her eyes and before I knew it I was lost in her deep brown eyes. There like black holes that you could get lost in and never find your way out. Well brown holes, but you get my point. I have no clue how long I was just standing there looking in her eyes, until I snapped out of it when I heard two bushes say "Aww, there so cute."

I looked down and blushed and Megan through her head back and said "We can hear you!"

There was some laughing coming from the bushes then they said, "No you can't." Megan huffed and grabbed my hand, which caused me to blush like crazy again. She smiled sheepishly at me then said in a demanding voice "Come on Josh lets go somewhere these people," she shot the bushes a death glare and continued, "Won't bother us!"

She started dragging me away, but when we were out of hearing range of the 'bushes' I caught up with her and said all smooth like, "Megan 'ya know I would of come even with out you grapping my hand to drag me out."

She released my hand after I said that and turned away blushing. I smirked and grabbed her hand again. She turned and looked at me like 'what it this for'. "Just because I said that doesn't mean I don't like it." I winked at her and she started blushed, but I could tell she had a smile on her face.

We walked all around camp talking about whats happened since we saw each other last. She asked me how I was doing in school and I started blushing, because I have been doing a little bit less than my normal A+ work because well…I have been day dreaming about Megan in class a lot. So I didn't really know how to answer her question so I just said "Oh you know A's as usual." Which wasn't a complete lie because I still have all A's, just not my normal 150% in all of my classes.

We kept talking about this and that until the dinner bell rang. Still hand and hand we walked to dinner.

When we were close she asked me one last question. "So Josh have you gotten any better with your archery?" I took a deep breath and looked away, because you never want to admit to a girl, much less one you really like that she is better at something than you.

I heard her laugh so I looked back. Still laughing she said, "That's what I thought. Maybe I could help you while you're here." I couldn't help but smile remembering the last time she helped me with my archery. "Definitely, how about tomorrow?" I tried to hide some of the excitement in my voice but I clearly failed.

She smiled sweetly at me then looked back to wear we were walking. We are almost to the dinning pavilion and that means we have to separate.

We walked in silence till we got to the door way to the pavilion and stopped. She looked at me and said "See you later Josh." Then she did something I never thought would happen.

She gave me a kiss on the cheek. Just a really quick one. Then she grabbed my shoulder and whispered in my ear "Fined me before the bonfire!" And before I could even answer she ran off to the Apollo table.

I stud there frozen like an idiot trying to figure out what just happened. All I could do was watch her run off to her table sit down and start giggling with the two 'bushes'.

When I could finally gather my wits I made my way slowly over to the Poseidon table. My mom and dad were already sitting there with there food. But they weren't eating it, they were staring at me with open mouths.

Crap this means that they saw that. Oh well I'll just make a joke and act like nothing happened. Who am I kidding my dad is going to be giving me crap about it till the end of time! Might as well face the music now. I gave them a little smile as I sat down. "Hello wonderful parents of mine. How are you tonight?" Please let this work please let this work, please let this work!

They looked at each other and smiled. Crap! I don't think this is working.

"Yes hello…um, Josh what was that?" My mom asked. Crap I don't think this is working! I know I'll play dumb. "What do you mean mom?"

"Joshua Samuel Jackson, you know what were talking about don't try to play dumb. You're as smart as a 13 year old and you're almost 8 almost 9, don't give us that." Double crap dad used the full name! He's not going to let this go.

I took a deep breath, "What you all know that I like her." And of course I couldn't get that out without turning red. I closed my eyes and waited for something to come. I really didn't know what to expect. But nothing came, just my parents laughing. I cracked one eye open and lifted my head a little bit.

I lifted my head all the way and they were still laughing at me. Wow what wonderful and loving parents, laughing at there son when he's clearly embarrassed. Yeah love you guys too!

After about a minute of laughing I finally had enough. "What! What is so funny about that! "

They stopped laughing now. They looked at me with faces of confusion. "Josh we were just joking around. It's nothing personal. It's just that I used to pull stuff like that on your father. Once I asked him out and ran away before he could answer and another time I kissed him and ran turned invisible and ran away." She stopped then got a sudden pointed a finger at me and said in a really motherly voice, "But you're too young to be asking girls out. But since we like Megan and she kissed you on the cheek we'll make an expectation. But no dating until you're in middle school!"

I smiled in spite of myself. I just couldn't hide the fact that in less than 3 years I get to ask Megan out.

My dad put a hand on my shoulder and said, "It's ok Josh. When your mother did stuff like that to me I didn't know what to do either. When she kissed me I just sat there staring at the lava trying to remember my name. And when she 'asked me out' and ran away I was so confused at to if she just asked me out or not."

"Wait lava where were you?"

Dad smiled again and said, "In the Labyrinth under Mt. Saint Helens. It was during a quest we went on when we were 14. We were helping Hephaestus find out what was going on in his work shop he has under there. Turned out it was being used to make weapons for the Titan army we fought the year after. But they discovered we were there and hundreds of them came after us, so I sent your mother back so at lest she could survive. When I told her that I want going to let her stay she kissed me and ran off. About five minutes later I made the volcano go off."

I looked at my mom, she had a sad look on her face so I hesitated asking this question. "What happened after you made the volcano go off?"

He looked down, "I ended up on Calypso's island. I stayed there for about two weeks, but I knew I had to come back." He looked at mom who still looked sad, but he took her hand and said, "I couldn't live without your mother. If I wasn't coming back for any other reason, I would come back for your mother. Because I loved her then and I always have."

I saw a tear slid down my moms face. But the look in her eyes weren't sad. It was joy, so I'm guessing it was a happy tear. She looked in his eyes and said, "I love you too Percy." He smiled and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

After that he turned back to me and said, "And that's all you can do until you're in middle school." I laughed and so did my mom but she punched him in the arm. He grabbed his arm and said, "Ow, Gods Annabeth! Is it me or did getting you pregnant again make you stronger. Gods you getting pregnant just makes you all round bigger and better don't it."

She rolled her eyes and punched him again. "Not in front of the kids Percy! Gods, whats with you today!" He was holding his arm again, he opened his mouth to say something but mom raised her arm like she was about to punch him again. He shut his mouth and started staring at his food. She patted him on the head and said, "Good boy."

I started laughing at my parents' childish behavior. Then I realized something, Maddison isn't here. "Mom where's Maddison?"

She closed her eyes and sighed, "Um…that's a good question. I'll go look for her."

Dad got up, "I'll help you look." Panic crossed my mom's eyes. Before he was all the way up she put a hand on his shoulder and pushed him back down. "No I'll do it I'm not hungry. You here with Josh and I'll go find her." Then she just ran off. Well as fast as you can go when you're pregnant.

Hmm…I wonder what that was about.

Annabeth's POV

Crap Josh it right Maddison isn't here.

"Um…that's a good question. I'll go look for her." I got up.

Percy was getting up too. Why it he getting up? I have to stop him.

I put my hand on his shoulder and pushed him back down. "No I'll do it I'm not hungry. You stay here with Josh and I'll go find her."

I walked away before he could say anything.

Gods Maddison, you're lucky you have me to break it to your father. Which reminds me, I still have to tell him.

Thanks for reading! And sorry it took me so long to update.

But I have good reasons…ok I really don't I just wanted to be lazy on my last days of summer. School *scream here* starts Tuesday. And then I get swamped with homework, basketball, friends, and my really messed up schedule.

They changed it to were first semester in steed of having band and PE I now have band then orchestra. Then I second semester I have band and PE the same hour and next hour I have jazz band and orchestra the same hour. Confused? Me too! But I've done this before but only with 2 classes not 4!

So 2 or 3 days a week I'll be in PE. Then the other 2 or 3 I'll be in band. As for going back and forth between jazz band and orchestra I'm going to be in jazz band as much as I can. And when I'm forced to go to orchestra I'll be in the back of the room with one of my best friends talking and messing around the whole time. I'm going to make my teacher want to through me out of that class so I can be in jazz band full time like I was so post to be!

So besides my busy and messed up life I have no clue when I'll update next.

Anyways you know the drill… rview!
