"Umm… Chocolate! No, vanilla! Coffee! Wait, what's coffee?" I rattled off the flavors that looked good. Percy laughed.

"Three scoops it is." Said the smiling fat man at the counter. He handed me my creamed ice. It didn't look all that bad. I tasted it.

"Oh my god." I said, "What is this?!" The fat man laughed.

"Where are you from?" He asked.

"Ogygia!" I proclaimed. He laughed again.

"Okay, you two enjoy." He handed Percy an ice cream. We sat down at a table.

"This is amazing!" I exclaimed, shoveling it into my mouth.

"Slow down there!" He said, "You'll get brain freeze!"

"Brain wha-owwwww…." Okay, so I learned brain freeze the hard way. What's with the face? There were no freezing things to eat on my tropical paradise! Percy laughed and wiped ice cream off of my face.

We were in there for an hour. He filled me in on the outside world, and I told him what had happened on Ogygia since he had left. (Trust me- not much!) He was really easy to talk to. When we were done we took a walk in downtown Manhattan- all the buildings there are huge! I loved it. He promised to take me down Broadway one day soon. When we got back to Camp Half-Blood, the crowds were assembling for dinner. Percy and I sat together and talked. Blondie came over after we were done.

"Hey," She said, "Who's this?"

"Oh, hi, Annabeth! This is Calypso." I smiled and waved. She nodded.

"Why weren't you at archery practice today?" She asked, glaring at him.

"I was… umm… Calypso and I went out to go get ice cream." He explained.

"For three hours?" She prompted. I wondered how this was any of her business.

"We walked through the streets for awhile. You know, just looking around."

"Uh-huh. Well don't miss again." She warned. Harsh. She got up and walked away.

"I should…" He started

"Yeah, go ahead." I said.

"Thanks." He got up and ran after her.

Dionysus came up and sat next to me.

"You again." I said.

"Hey, don't pretend you're not happy to see me!" He exclaimed, putting his arm around my shoulders. I tried to shake him free, but he held onto me. Pretty soon he had me in a chokehold.

"I give…" I said. He let me go.

"You got a haircut!" He said. He messed up my hair with his hand. I laughed and blew it out of my face.

"The Aphrodite kids are professionals!" I observed my lack of split ends. Until a few hours ago, I didn't know what a split end even was!

Dionysus laughed. Wait… Dionysus laughed? Is that an oxymoron? He was seeming kind of bubbly today, but smiling and laughing? Something was wrong. "Are you feeling okay?" I asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?" He asked, confused. He loosened his grip on my hand. Wait… when did he start holding my hand? I heard gossip going on behind us, but I tried to ignore it.

"Nevermind. So were you really campaigning to get me out?" I asked, kind of flattered by his comment yesterday.

"What? Oh, yeah! Totally. Not a day went by that I wasn't begging Olympus for your freedom." He said, proud of his triumph. Somehow I didn't think he was telling the truth, but I decided to humor him.

"Oh, really?" I asked, putting on my best intrigued voice, "Tell me more."

He spent half an hour making up some story about his countless letters to Zeus and how Iris would never let him get a message through. It was quite amusing, really.

"That's amazing!" I exclaimed. Most of the kids had filed out by now.

"You wanna know something?"

"Shoot."

"One of the Olympians isn't happy about you and Peter."

"Percy."

"Whatever."

"Poseidon." I said.

"Not telling!" He teased.

"Athena!" I guessed, "She wants Percy with her daughter!"

Dionysus laughed. "Okay, I'll give you a hint- it's not her. Actually, I think she's happy that you're keeping aquaboy away from Annabeth!"

"Hera!" I accused, "She's upset about the age difference."

"No more hints!" He taunted.

"No fair!"

"I'm a god," He explained, "I don't have to be fair." I poked him in the stomach. He flinched. "No fair! You know I'm ticklish."

"I don't have to be fair," I mimicked, "I'm the daughter of a titan." I poked him again. It soon turned into an all-out war and he ended up standing on the table and I was poking him with the back of a fork. Onlookers had started taking pictures, and I would bet a large sum of money that we would make the headline of the Daily Olympus unless Zeus and Hera had gotten in another fight. (The sky was relatively cloud-free, though, so I could only assume that his love life was going well.) I don't think I've ever had that much fun!

Hey, readers! Lauren here.

Just droppin' by to say I love all you guys! I saw the movie on Friday and it was AMAZING!!! It deviated from the plot quite a bit, but in a good way. I like all the things the movie added. I think it's better that it didn't go exactly by the book because that wouldn't have made a very entertaining movie… So yeah! LOGAN LERMAN IS HOT! -cough- Anyway, thanks for reading to this point! I have school off tomorrow so I'll have a chapter up by then. :) Cool- thanks for reading my little drabble! Se ya! 3
