"….I am your grandfather," Finished Poseidon. Percy and Annabeth's mouths dropped open…again.
"Grandfather?" Exclaimed Cody and Zack, their eyes as round as XL dinner plates.
"Yes, Grandfather. Your dad is my son," Sighed Poseidon.
"Wow…This is a day of many revelations…"
Nobody spoke. Needless to say, everyone was way too surprised to think, let alone speak. It was as if the whole room had frozen, like a movie on pause. Their minds were blank, uncomprehending. Then the bubble popped. Poseidon disappeared. They all heard the sound of the door opening, and Mr. Moseby walked in. "What happened to the Skydeck? This is too elaborate to be one of Zack's pranks. Does anyone know?"
Cody hemmed and hawed "Uhhh… No Mr. Moseby… W-w-we don't know anything, do we?" He said, turning to face his friends. Everyone just nodded, still speechless.
"Oh well, then I'll just be leaving."
Poseidon then reappeared.
"Sorry about that, everyone. I didn't want to be seen." Everyone murmured their forgiveness, recovering from their brief state of shock. "So…do you want to know anything else? I figure we should get this over with,"
"Ummm…..," said the group in unison.
"Awkward!" Said London in a sing-songy voice, taking out a file to buff her nails. Everyone just stared, then burst out laughing at the same time.
Then Zack spoke up, "So, does dad know you're his dad?"
"Yes, he was planning to tell you, but I decided to do it myself, just in case you didn't believe him," Replied Poseidon, smiling in a sad sort of way. Just then, the ship's horn blew two times, signaling there was only 5 minutes before curfew. Everyone said their goodbyes and left.
After getting in bed, everyone reflected on the day and wondered what tomorrow would bring. They didn't know anything for sure except for the fact that it would be another day full of surprises.
A/N: SO BUSY! I hate crazy schedules! Sigh…well, here's your chappie. And I WILL be posting a chapter a day, except for maybe the weekends. Definitely the weekdays, though. Btw, moonlight mermaid, I promised a chapter yesterday, not last month….
