Chapter 9: Under The Sea

Poseidon's POV

Great. Now there's another truth or dare I have to worry about. After hearing about the truth or dare on Olympus, Triton wanted to play it. Amphitrite agreed, and she said I should invite Athena. I have a VERY bad feeling about that. Amphitrite used to do horrible things to punish my lovers. For instance, she tried to drown Sally the one time I brought her to the palace. Good thing I was there, and the guards and Triton agreed that she went to far. Now, we're getting ready by sitting where we told everyone to meet us. We invited Athena, Stacy, Percy,Triton, Amphitrite, a guard, his daughter Ariel, me, and Atlanta. Atlanta is mine and Amphitrite's daughter, and Stacy is Athena's daughter. Stacy also happens to be an ex-play bunny, but we don't talk about that, and Athena said it was Stacy's decision, plus Stacy has left that all behind.

"Hi dad." Percy said.

"Hello Percy." I greeted.

He also brought Annabeth.

"I'm sorry, I know I wasn't invited, but..." Annabeth started.

"Don't worry about it. I like you, and everyone knows you're inseparable. Plus, Athena wouldn't like it if I turned away her favorite daughter when she's coming too." I said.

Annabeth smiled, and Percy looked relieved.

"Hey dad." Atlanta smiled.

"Hi Atlanta." I said.

"Dad, do you think this game will be like the one on Olympus?" Triton asked.

"Depends, do you have a girl you secretly care about who might here your confession of love during the game?" I joked.

Triton turned pale, so I guessed he did have someone coming.

"Where's Athena?" Amphitrite asked.

"No idea, but she'll be here soon." I answered.

"Any orders before I play and stop my guard duty sir?" Sebastian the merman asked.

"No, the others should be fine without your help. You've trained them well." I told him.

He smiled proudly, then he sent a longing glance toward Amphitrite. I guess now I know why she invited him.

"You realize it's okay if you like her, because I'm divorcing her, getting remarried to someone else if she accepts my proposal, and your my favorite guard, who deserves a free woman?" I questioned.

At first he looked nervous, then he smiled. "Thank you sir." He said.

"No need." I replied.

"Hi Poseidon." Stacy said.

I turned around and saw her standing next to Athena. Athena smiled, and I smiled back. Hopefully Amphitrite won't try to kill Athena until after she says yes. She won't succeed anyway, but she'd ruin my proposal.

"Hi Stacy. Hi Athena." I said.

"Hi Poseidon." Athena sounded shy.

Annabeth and Stacy giggled, and Percy just smiled. Athena shot them a dirty look, and I stifled a laugh.

"Hello Lord Poseidon." Ariel said shyly.

"Hi Ariel. And I've told you before, you don't have to refer to me as a lord." I smiled.

"Lets play this game!" Triton exclaimed.

"Agreed." Amphitrite said.

So Annabeth and Percy went to sit down with Stacy, and I escorted Athena to where we'd be sitting. It's good that we're playing in the living room, becaise I'll need a couch to sit on, rather than a throne. I hope to God we make it through this game.
