Author's Note: I don't own any of these characters except Andromeda. Everything else belongs to Rick Riordan. All chapters 3rd person. Please review. Keep an eye out. I have two other stories in the works and will post them soon.

Chapter Ten

Chiron was a little nervous when he had been told, but he was happy that the gods were showing so much interest in spending time with their demigod children. The gods went to the amphitheater and after taking a look at the benches, quickly decided that if they were going to be sitting there they would at least be comfortable. Zeus flicked his hand and the benches were replaced with large blankets and mounds of multicolor pillows.

All of the gods smiled and went to find places large enough for their children to sit with them. In deference for Thalia, Nico, Percy, Andi, and Annabeth, Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, and Athena sat near each other. The campers began trickling in and they gasped when they saw what the gods had done. Some of the girls squealed and all of them threaded through to find places next to their parent.

Percy and Andi were just exiting the Poseidon cabin, the last one to do so, when a light appeared just behind and to the left of them. They turned and were a little shocked that Amphitrite and Triton stood there. Before either of them could say anything, Amphitrite stepped forward and said, "If we could speak with you individually for a moment."

Andi and Percy looked at each other for a second then turned back and nodded their heads. Amphitrite laid her hand on Percy's arm while Triton pulled Andi a little ways away.

Following Percy and Amphitrite

The two were silent for a moment before Amphitrite sighed and focused on Percy. Without preamble, she said, "I have wronged you Perseus and I realize that now. I have watched your father mourn your loss for two hundred years. I have watched the campers who have been given immortality search for you unceasingly. I have realized that while I have a right to be angry when your father cheats on me, that I should not take it out on you or any of the others."

"I have wronged you and would like the opportunity to correct that. I hope you will give me the chance." Percy stood there blinking for a few minutes, trying to think of a response. He opened and closed his mouth a couple of times before replying, "When we first met I didn't know what you'd think of me and I was pretty sure it wasn't good. Not to mention the poor circumstances." That statement brought a small smile to Amphitrite's lips. He continued, "I never meant to cause harm to your family. Actually, I would like to get to know my immortal family better, seeing as you'll be stuck with me from now on." That last comment brought forth a full smile and a small laugh from Amphitrite. The two shook hands before Amphitrite pulled Percy into a motherly hug, something he hadn't felt for two hundred years.

Following Triton and Andromeda

Andi glanced over her shoulder to ensure that Percy was all right before she turned back and faced her half-brother. She eyed him nervously, unsure of what to think. Triton eyed her back just as nervously. They stood there for a few minutes before Triton cleared his throat and said, "Um." Andi rolled her eyes and said, "Being real succinct there big brother." He blinked when she called him big brother and to her surprise he smiled a little.

He cleared his throat again and said, "I'd like to apologize for how I treated you before you left. I was angry and took it out on you and on Percy and I want to apologize for that. I haven't been a very good older brother to any of you. If you and the others will let me, I'd like to try again." Andi cocked her head and watched him for a moment before giving a small smile and saying, "You'll have to talk to the others themselves, but personally, I don't mind."

Triton looked relieved and Andi stepped forward and wrapped him in a hug. When she let him go he asked, "Can you go ask to Percy to come talk to me? I need to say my piece to him alone." She nodded and went to get her brother. She poked him in the side as she stopped next to him and told him, "Triton wants to say something. Give him a chance." Percy nodded and walked over to Triton. Before she could head towards the amphitheater, Amphitrite said, "Wait, please. I have something I need to say." And stopped and turned back thinking, "Today seems to be the day for talks."
