Hi, people. I promised, right? Here ya go. By the way, thanks for the reviews!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING AS BRILLIANT AS THE PJO SERIES.

The Olympians walked out of the subway, messily dressed and grouchy. Very grouchy.

Artemis glowered at her brother. "I know you put the shaving cream in my slippers last night."

Apollo grinned. "Oh, so that was yours! I can't believe you wear bunny slippers."

"Hey," Zeus said. Out of all the gods, he was the only one who looked happy. Well, except for bubbly Aphrodite, who's always happy, mostly because she believes that being sad causes wrinkles. "Cheer up, guys."

"Cheer up, guys?" Hera repeated in disbelief. "Are you seriously turning into a teenager?" Hera was grumpy because Aphrodite kept on waking up every two hours, reapplying some face mask and washing it off. Aphrodite made a lot of noise, making it impossible to sleep.

Zeus ignored her and checked his watch. "I'll be late. See you all later." He raced off.

Hestia shook her head. She was getting tired of the whole ordeal, but she refused to say so. "Oh, that brother of mine," she said with a huge sigh.

Hephaestus, Ares, and pretty much everyone else nodded in agreement. The king of the gods was crazy.

"Athena!" Poseidon gasped, grabbing Athena's shoulder.

"What?" Athena said crossly, pulling her arm away. "I'm going to be late for class."

"Oh, trust me, you're going to want to hear this," he insisted. Athena sighed and looked at him. "What is it, Poseidon?"

"Your daughter Annabeth is in this school!"

"What?" she shrieked. "With your unwise son?"

"Hey," Poseidon warned. "Do not say anything bad about my son."

It seemed like Athena didn't hear him. For a moment, she looked like she was about to have a heart attack, but then she suddenly smiled.

"What?" Poseidon asked curiously.

"You don't want my daughter spending time with your son, right?" Athena said.

Poseidon frowned. "Go on."

"How about we break them up?" (A/N Okay, before you kill me, I'd like everybody to know that nothing bad is going to happen. This will just spice things up a bit.)

Poseidon paused, considering. He didn't really have anything against Annabeth, but then it was Athena that he had issues with. And if Percy accidentally hurt Athena's daughter, he knew that there was going to be trouble. And he didn't want his son to be involved; he already got in enough trouble as it is.

"And I'll have to work with you?" Poseidon asked uncertainly.

Athena took a deep breath, but then she held out her hand. "Temporary truce, old rival?"

Poseidon nodded and shook her hand. "Fine."

Hades saw his son and decided to attempt some more fatherly-ness.

"Hey, Nico, want to go fishing?" he asked brightly, or at least as brightly as a god of the dead can do. And, okay, maybe asking someone to go fishing is weird, but then he heard that fishing was the best bonding time for fathers and sons.

Nico gave him a strange look. "What? When?"

Hades shrugged. "On Saturday? I just...well, I used to fish a lot with my dad." He cringed at the very idea of fishing with the Titan lord. That was way too bizarre.

Nico thought for a moment, then smiled. "Sure." He pulled his notebook from his locker and frowned. "You know, my old man never took me fishing." He sighed. "I guess he's really busy, but still..."

Hades grimaced and nodded. "Well, see you, then."

Percy walked with Annabeth to the school.

"Hey, Jackson!" some guy shouted. "Who's the hot girl?"

Annabeth felt a flash of irritation. "I'm standing right here, you know." She hated it when guys objectify her.

Percy squeezed her hand and wrapped an arm around her. "She's my girlfriend," he told the guy sternly.

"I'm sorry, she's your what?" a shrill voice said.

Mimi stood there, looking positively venomous.

Okay, that was it. "I'm his girlfriend," Annabeth repeated, looking at her with a steely stare.

Percy sighed and looked at Mimi. "She's the one I told you about yesterday. You know, the own that you thought was imaginary," he elaborated.

Mimi shook her head vigorously.

Annabeth was starting to feel annoyed, too, so she pulled Percy and gave him a kiss on the lips. People started applauding like crazy.

Annabeth pulled away, and she noticed Percy's face was bright red. She looked at Mimi squarely. "Now do you believe me?"

Mimi curled her lip. "You'll be mine, Jackson," she snapped. Then she stormed off.

Apollo was walking around the halls of school and came up with a great idea. He smiled and walked over to a beautiful brunette.

"Hey, baby, are you teeth?" he asked.

The girl gave him a weird glance, but decided to play along. "Why?"

"Because I can't smile without you."

She groaned and stormed off. That wasn't much of an encouragement, but then Apollo figured it was an improvement over getting slapped.

"Hello, sweetie, do you know where you can find yourself?" he said to a blonde.

"Uhm, where?" the blonde said uncertainly.

"All over my brain."

The blonde snorted. "Sorry, buddy, but I have a very muscular, six-foot-tall boyfriend in the football team..."

He quickly walked away and spotted a tall girl. He smiled at her. "Hi, honey, did you feel the huge earthquake?"

"What the heck?"

"Ooh, sorry. That was just you rocking my world."

The tall girl shook her head and went back to her conversation with her friends.

He saw a friendly-looking redhead and said, "Are you a terrorist?"

To his surprise, the redhead looked intrigued. "Why do you think that?"

"Cause, baby, you da bomb!"

The girl gave him a thin smile. "Are you rain?"

Apollo grinned. Finally he was making progress. "Why?"

"Because when I see you coming, I usually run away."

Needless to say, Apollo pick-up lines plan was a huge failure.

Thalia looked around in her locker for her homework that Annabeth helped her with last night. She was pretty sure that she was going to get an A. After all, it was Annabeth who did most of the work.

"Hey, Thalia."

She turned and saw...Luke.

"Oh, it's you. How do you know my name?" she asked crisply.

Neil grinned. "I have my ways."

Thalia snorted. "Okay, then, see ya." She slammed her locker and headed off.

"Call me?" the guy called after her.

She glared at him. "Sorry, pal, no can do."

Artemis was smiling a few feet from them. That's my girl, she thought proudly.

"I'll take that as a yes," Neil said.

"Buzz off, buddy."

Okay, for those who like Thalia as a Hunter—no worries. It's just friendship with her and the guy...unless you want something more to happen. PLEASE REVIEW.
