I am back! And with a Pothena chapter this time... at least, it was supposed to be a Pothena chapter. I'm not good at chapters like these, since I always imagine them with a sort of rivalry. This is based off "Regular Day in Olympus" by IheartLukeCastellan. It's the only sort-of Pothena story I've ever read, so this is all I know about Pothena. I only like the humour here, so try to enjoy it...

Reply to reviews:

CimFan: Now that I reread it, I kinda do agree. It's a tragic romance, but oh well. I read your story, as you can see :) Sorry for forgetting about Martin... :P

squirrelLOVA: LOL I hear ya! I actually imagined that as Percabeth, since I realise Jeyna fans portray them like that. And yes, you have a chapter dedicated to you :) I don't know any other hardcore Tratie fans besides you and myself. AND I KNOW! I'M WAITING FOR AN UPDATE!

A guest said:
can you write percy/artemis?
My reply:
As you can see later at the bottom, it'll be two chapters from now. It'll be dedicated to you. Can I have a name or alias, so I can dedicated it? Oh, and maybe you could help a little, since I've never read a Pertemis (Percy/Artemis) story before...

A guest said:
Can you do a ThaliaXPercy story?
My reply:
Story? No. One-shot? Yes. But you're going to have to wait a while, because a lot of couples have already lined up. You can see the list in the author's note below. Maybe you could give me a hand with this. I've never read Perlia (because I'm a major Percabeth fan), and so I don't know what you'll expect :)

A guest said:
percy/piper!
My reply:
Alright! I accept any pairings, as long as they're not gay. But you're going to have to help me, so I'll know what you'll expect from a Percy/Piper one-shot. :) (You do mean in a romantic way, right?)

A guest said:
Awesome chapter! Lazel is my 3rd favourite couple. And you wanted to know my brother's pen name? It's roach26
My reply:
Three words: I. Hate. You. But I gotta give you a heads up, sis. That was a nice prank.


dedicated to this story's first reviewer, musicMakesyouSmile


Rivalry is a result of polar opposites
It is the act of wanting to be best
But when love tries to interfere in between
Just let life flow and do the rest


Athena was ready to fume. Her face was red, and her fingers were twitching on the armrests of her throne. Her grey eyes had turned an icy colour as she glared at the sea god in front of her, but he didn't even flinch.

"Oh, here we go again," muttered Ares, and the Goddess of Wisdom immediately shot him a glare. He glared right back, until Aphrodite squealed.

"Athena's having another love quarrel again!" The Love Goddess immediately jumped up and down in her seat, then continued to apply some makeup. Athena could hear Artemis sigh in her seat. This was the fifth time she had said that today.

"Aphrodite, I will never, and I repeat, never fall for a guy as idiotic, self-centred and absurd as him." Athena pointed a finger at Poseidon, who looked offended.

Poseidon narrowed his eyes on her. "Me?" He gripped his throne, and small waves clashed dangerously around him. "I'm absurd and self-centred?"

"Hey, Uncle P! You forgot idiotic!"

"Apollo, please. Not now." Poseidon returned to his rival, glaring at her. "If I'm absurd and self-centred—"

"And idiotic!"

Poseidon sighed. "And idiotic, then perhaps you would like to check yourself in the mirror. All you'll ever see is a woman who needs anger management classes, and someone to check if her pride is still around."

That's when Athena lost it. She leaped from her throne, spread her arms, and sent an army of owls after the Sea God. Poseidon's eyes widened in shock, and flicked his wrist, sending a huge wave to swallow them whole.

Athena's eyes were now flaming with anger, as she sent attack after attack at Poseidon, who attacked back just as ferociously. In the background, Ares was cheering loudly, and Athena could hear Hermes and Apollo calling bets.

She was just about to send another attack when the throne room's door flung open, and the King and Queen of the Gods strolled in, their faces full of anger. Zeus pointed his master bolt at the two of them, his eyes flashing with frustration.

"ENOUGH!" he thundered, and the room shook. Everyone clutched onto his or her throne. Zeus sent a fierce glare at Poseidon. "I come in here to have a meeting, and this is what I get?"

"Dearest brother, I believe it wasn't me that started this fight." The words came out through his clenched teeth, and Athena narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Your daughter here started the fight of the millennia—again."

This time, Zeus's glare was on her. "Your pride is swallowing you, Athena." He turned to the other gods, thundering, "EVERYBODY OUT!"

The gods flashed out quickly. Aphrodite sent Athena a wink, before vaporising into mist of expensive perfumes. The Goddess of Wisdom glared at the throne of the Love Goddess, imagining her in that very seat. She broke her gaze when addressed a sneaky Poseidon.

"POSEIDON, YOU SHALL REMAIN HERE." The God of the Sea frowned, and slumped in his seat. Athena watched as her father turned to the both of them, the frustration growing in his eyes. "This pointless feud has been going on for too long. As the King of the Gods, I have to put an end to it."

"You could've put an end to it long ago," Poseidon muttered, only to be silence by another thundering roar from Zeus.

The King of the Gods cleared his throat. "I have come up with a solution. The two of you are to spend time with each other until the rivalry has abolished. "

"What? Father, Poseidon and I can hardly breathe in the same room."

"Zeus! This is unfair. I have meetings and duties to attend to."

Athena glared at Poseidon, whose argument had overlapped with hers. She glared harder, before turning to her father. "Father, it is illogical to do this. World War III may happen, and judging by the looks of the previous wars, this might not look good."

"Plus, Owl Brain's constant random spluttering will give me a headache!" Poseidon glared at her. "She already drove me nuts!"

"It is not random spluttering! How did you not know the Pythagoras theorem? It's the most simplest theorem in the book of mathematics: c2 equals to a2 plus—"

"SILENCE!" Once again, the Lord of the Skies cleared his throat. "You are to remain together—" Poseidon gagged. "—with each other until this matter has been resolved. Understood?"

Athena glanced warily at the Sea God, and nodded. Poseidon just rolled his eyes, ignoring his brother. Zeus nodded, and dismissed them, before flashing out.

Poseidon started to walk away. "Where are you going?" Athena asked, putting authority in her voice.

"I'm just going out for a walk, Mother," Poseidon mocked, and Athena gritted her teeth. She bit the inside of her cheeks.

"Zeus said we had to 'spend time with each other' until the matter is resolved." She raised an eyebrow, daring him to object.

Poseidon merely smirked. "Ah, so you do want to spend time with me."

Athena glared at him, but felt her cheeks growing hot nevertheless. "Not in a million years, Barnacle Beard. But since it is Father's will . . ."

"You make it sound like he's dying."

"What?"

"What you just said," Poseidon explained, as if talking to a six-year-old kid, "about Zeus's will. You see, Athena, when people die, they often have wills to say what they wish to be done after they are gone, such as giving the money to their kids, or—"

"I know what a will is!" Athena snapped, glaring at him for the trillionth time that day. "It's Father's will, so we shall be spending the day at the library."

"No, we're going to the park."

"Library."

"Park."

"Library."

"Park."

"Library."

"Park."

"Library."

"Library."

"Library it is," Athena smirked, watching as Poseidon cursed in multiple languages when his plan had backfired. She grabbed him by the collar, taking him to the library she often visited. "Grab a book, and read."

She then went off to find a book, letting her fingers skim along the spines. Finding a couple of interesting ones, she took them in her arms, carrying it to one of the many tables. Poseidon was already sitting there, a book in his hands. The two read quietly, until the annoying voice broke it.

"Athena," Poseidon whispered. Athena didn't respond, and kept reading, checking the mistake and failures in that book. "Athena." When she didn't respond again, the god kept whispering her name, then proceeded to poke her with a pencil.

"What?" she snapped, turning from her book to the older god. He was smirking, which ticked her off even more.

"How do you survive this boredom?" Athena was already boiling with anger. Finally, she stood up, put the books away with a snap of her fingers, and grabbed Poseidon by the collar.

"Fine. We'll take a walk."

Poseidon smirked, letting her drag him out of the library. The two flashed out, and arrived in Central Park a few seconds later. Athena was wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans, while Poseidon wore his bright Hawaiian shirt and khaki pants.

"Central Park!" he exclaimed, stretching his hands. "This is good and refreshing. No confined spaces, which means I'm not only sharing the air with you, but with a bunch of other people."

Athena rolled her eyes at his theory, and pulled out a book she had taken from the library. She began reading while walking, trudging after the black-haired god. She was so caught up with her book, she didn't realise he had stopped and bumped into him.

"Poseidon, what the Hades?" she asked, but Poseidon just waved his hand. He pointed at two teenagers in the distance, sitting on a bench, slurping sodas and eating fries. The boy tossed his empty cup in a trash bin nearby, and the girl rolled her eyes as the boy smiled triumphantly. Athena narrowed her eyes. Why did those two look so familiar?

Then it hit her. She walked over, still staring. The two teenagers were still laughing, when they realised there was another presence. The girl looked up, looking startled. "Mom!"

Athena smiled down at her daughter, and glared at the sea spawn. "Annabeth. Perseus." Percy continued to mutter something about full names. Annabeth just rolled her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Annabeth looked around worriedly, expecting some sort of monster to pop out.

The goddess opened her mouth to reply, when a certain god decided to walk over right then. "Annabeth! And my son, Perseus. How are you two?" He ruffled Percy's hair, causing Percy to groan.

"Lord Poseidon!" Annabeth exclaimed. Now she was twitching nervously. "What are you two doing here?"

"Lord Zeus's commands," Athena explained, and Annabeth caught on, a little confused, but getting the main point. Percy, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky.

"He asked you to take a walk in the park?" he asked. Annabeth hit him on the back of his head. "Ow!"

"Seaweed Brain," Annabeth muttered.

Thunder clashed above him warningly, and Athena looked over the sea god. "We better be going. Father insists us on leaving you to your business."

Poseidon laughed. "Yeah, it's his will."

Athena glared at him, leaving the two demigods to stare at them in utter confusion. She flashed out, Poseidon right behind her. They arrived at Olympus, only to bump a certain love goddess.

"Pothena!" she exclaimed, embracing the two in one big hug. "How's your day going?"

"Awful."

"According to Zeus's will," Poseidon chimed, grinning as his response overlapped Athena's.

Athena glared at Poseidon. "Will you just drop it already?"

"What? Zeus's will?"

Athena groaned. "I give up."

"Oh, you two are so adorable." She grabbed them by the arm. "You're not going to spend the rest of the day without each other."

"We weren't planning to," Athena mumbled, glaring at the sky. It thundered loudly and dramatically. "Father insisted."

"In his will, too." Athena glared again, but the god seemed unaffected. "It's a tragic story, really. We were fighting in the throne room, and Zeus came along, telling all of you to leave. Then he gave us his will, and flashed out. I didn't realise he was dead until Athena kindly pointed it out. I hope he rests in peace."

The Goddess of Wisdom smacked her face. How idiotic could he get? Aphrodite seemed to hear her thoughts and giggled, continuing to drag them to whatever torture she had in mind.

Probably a cave full of pillow pets, Poseidon spoke in her mind. Wait, on second thought, that won't be so bad. I could finally take a nap.

Athena stared at him, wondering what Rhea had done so that her son would lose his brain. Finally, Aphrodite stopped them. "Welcome to Restaurant la Aphrodite. Please take a seat, and I shall call a waiter to . . . wait you?"

"Serve you," Athena corrected. Aphrodite smiled, and waved her hand away. She motioned them to sit, before a waiter finally arrived to take their orders. For the first time ever, Athena didn't strangle Poseidon, nor did she actually want to.

They were actually eating, laughing, and Athena was pretty sure Poseidon was flirting every once in a while. Her mind tried to process that, trying to comprehend it.

"You know, it is nice when we don't have to strangle each other all the time," Poseidon commented, stuffing some sort of weird dish in his mouth. Athena smiled, agreeing with him.

The two stared at each other, realising something had just clicked. Poseidon started leaning in, and Athena felt herself did too. They were merely inches a part, when out of nowhere, Zeus appeared, a triumphant smirk on his face.

Poseidon stopped, and pretended he was going to whisper, "I told you he would happen soon."

Athena raised her eyebrow, and shot back to her former position, watching as Poseidon smirked at a fuming Zeus. The Lord of the Skies cleared his throat, before turning to his daughter.

"You have managed to survive the day. Honestly, I expected this to take much longer. You are free to return to your godly duties." He flashed out again, and left with a thunder.

"So he resurrects, only to give us a new will. Yippee." Poseidon rolled his eyes, and Athena glared at him. He raised his hands up in surrender, smirking at her. Athena sighed, before giving him a small smile.

The god got up, walking over to her. He leaned in, whispering in her ear. "We should do this again some time, Athena." Then she felt his lips on her cheek, before a cold sea breeze slapped her in the face.

Athena got up, walking away to let her mind try to find the logic of the insane day.
