Alright,REVIEW! Warning: A bit of Penollo in this chapter

After a cup of coffee I returned back to the room,feeling fresh. Percy was sitting at the table,Penny dabbing a cloth on his bruised eye."Oh come on sis,I dont-"

"Yes you do Perseus,yes you do. Hey Annabeth." She told me. I smiled.

"Hey. Treating the eye?" I asked. Penny nodded. Percy,on the other hand,looked sober. Suddenly I heard a ring tone,and Penny sighed.

"Hey,do me a favor and take over for me. I'll go get that." She said,handing me the cloth and dashing inside. I smirked at Percy.

"Hurts huh?"

"Not as much as my shoulder. She's got a pretty hard fist." He winced,touching his shoulder gingerly. "Did I do anything stupid last night? When I was..drunk?"

"Well,you're always your stupid self,so last night wasn't very different." I shrugged. He looked offended.

"Hey,I can be pretty smart when I want to."

"Uh huh. What's your highest grade."

"Um..C. Hey,gimme a break,I'm ADHD and diagnosed with dyslexia too."

My eyes widened "You are?"

He nodded "Yeah. Penny's coping up better than me. She always gets the better marks. The good thing was,she never shoved it in my face,because we had other things to cope up with."

"Like what?" I asked without thinking. Percy suddenly looked wary.

"My dad was associated with this gang before he married my mom. After some time when he did get married,some of the gang members got caught in something illegal. They tried pinning it on my dad. When he refused,they tried burning down the house. Me and Penny were only three years old. We moved away from Paris to New York,but they caught us. Long story short,my mom's still in a comma. When we were about thirteen,they caught Penny and we'll,let's just say that if I hadn't been there in time to catch them.."

He sighed.

"They fled after that. After that,Dad turned resentful towards us. He didn't take care of us at all. It ended when he got a divorce and moved away,about two years ago. But he's still in contact with me. He's trying to make me work for his company,or become a doctor or something. I refused. Every since then things haven't been so good for me. Me and Penny can only depend on each other now. That's why she freaked when I went missing for a week." He added with a faint smile. I was stunned. Before I could say anything,Penny walked back in.

"Hey guys,good news! Hazel's birthday is in a few days and she's coming!"

"Really? Sweet!" Percy grinned.

"Who's Hazel?" I asked.

"She's Nico's step sister. Every time when she comes,we always throw her a party or something. She's going to be..thirteen in a few days."

"When's her birthday again?" Percy questioned.

"Coming Wednesday."

Percy's grin faded. I remembered what he was saying in the phone call "On..Wednesday?"

"You'll be coming,right Percy?" I asked pointedly. He nodded feverishly.

"Yeah..yeah of course! Can never miss it!" He said with false cheerness. Penny looked suspicious.

"Alright..." And with that she walked back into her room. I turned towards Percy expectingly.

"Something wrong?" I frowned. He rubbed the naps of his neck.

"I'm busy of Wednesday." He muttered. I crossed my arms.

"Why?"

"I..I'm heading out."

"Oh?" I asked coldly "Where?"

"Look," he said firmly,standing up. His eyes kept bouncing behind me,in case if Penny came in "just don't tell Penny this. It's important."

"Where do you keep going Percy? An entire week? Anything could have happened to you! What'll Penny say if you end up leaving again? Does this..does this have to do with anything of your dad?"

"No. I mean-look,I'll try to come,but then I have to go. It's important Annabeth,for all of us. Just don't tell my sister. Please " he begged,his green eyes fixed on me. As much as I hated him,I just couldn't say no. He wasn't the cocky,arrogant flirt I had known before.

"Fine. But don't blame me if anything happens." I said sharply,then turned around and walked towards Penny's room. The door was open,and she was talking on the phone. When she saw me,she smiled.

"I-I'll call you back Solace. Bye." She said,putting her phone down. I raised my eyebrow.

"Talking with Apollo?"

"I don't know what you're talking about Chase," she said,concealing a smile that I knew way too well. I sat down on her bed.

"Penny,it's so obvious that you like him..why not go for it?" I advised,smiling. She stared at me,analyzing if I was just teasing her. After a few seconds,she sat down next to me,sighing.

"He doesn't like me in that way...he's a player,like Percy."

"How are you so sure?" I questioned. I knew how she felt,at least a bit. Percy's still a disgusting toerag,but he has another side that I never imagined. Maybe Apollo's the same. She bit her lip.

"He flirts. A lot."

"With whom?"

"With..me. But what if he's doing it behind my back with other girls? The idiot has some fans of his own." she mumbled. I smiled.

"Have you ever seen him with other girls?"

"Well...no."

"Then why waste the chance? Take it from another's point of view;He's obviously in love with you."

"I guess so...thanks Chase."

"Anytime Jackson."

oOoOo

From what I've heard,Hazel Levesque is probably the most likable and innocent teenager yet. And her most favorite person is Percy Jackson. When Piper brought that up,Percy winced. He was probably imagining how upset Hazel would be when she found out that Percy wouldn't be at her party.

Piper said "Penny,you handle the cake with..."

"I'd love to take the job,but I would eat up the frosting." Apollo said,putting his hands up.

"Okay,so Apollo's on decorating." Piper instructed.

"I'll help Penny with the cake. I'm good at baking." I offered.

"Okay,and then we'll need to order food. Hazel likes Chinese so um..Jason can pick it up at Wangs."

"You got it." Jason grinned. Piper looked a little flustered as she looked away.

"And Nico will be picking up Hazel. So I'll.."

"Go with Jason," Apollo said casually "there's gunna be a lot of food."

"Oh. Um..okay." Piper squeaked. Then she turned to Percy "Percy...you-"

"I'll help eating."

"Oh shut up. You're on..decorating. Since Penny and Annabeth will be here,ask them for help. Okay?"

"Fine." He muttered. His eyes went to me pleadingly,but I simply shrugged. Apollo leant back on the couch.

"Remember how Percy started laughing so hard he literally sneezed up cake?"

"Hey,that was one time." Percy frowned. Jason grinned.

"And then you accidently ate that birthday candle?"

"I was eating so fast I didn't notice it!"

"And the time-" Penny started,but the doorbell suddenly rang,cutting her from her sentence. As she went to open the door,Percy looked instantly relieved. But when Apollo peeked out and saw who it was,he jumped up with shock. A girl with long,wavy brown hair and brown eyes stood at the doorway. She was wearing a flowery green skirt,brown knee length boots and a brown shirt with a brown leather jacket on top. On her shoulder,she sported a travel bag.

"Hey guys!"

"Oh hell no." I heard Apollo mutter.

"Uh..who're you?" Penny asked. The girl walked in happily,ignoring Penny. As soon as her eyes landed on Apollo,she grinned.

"There you are!" She rushed forward. Apollo tried doubling back,but the girl had planted a huge kiss on his cheek. When she pulled back,there was a lipstick imprint of her lips. Penny closed the door,crossing her arms.

"Excuse you Ms Kissaroo,but I asked you a question." She huffed. The girl held Apollo's arm in a loving manner,looking up at him.

"Don't tell me you didn't tell your friends about me baby!" She purred.

Baby?

"I'm sorry?" Penny asked with mock politeness. I heard Percy whistle softly and slowly scoot away. Jason pretended he had a coughing fit and dashed into the kitchen. I understood why. It was as if a bonfire had started in Penny's green eyes.

"Didn't he tell you we both are dating? So far we've been in a distant relationship!"

"Gee Apollo,why didn't you tell us that?" Percy snickered. Apollo shot him an,'I'm-going-to-kill-you.' glance.

"Yes,why didn't you?" Penny asked in an odd tone that made Apollo gulp. The girl giggled.

"Oh,he's just a shy little puppy when it comes to all of this!" She exclaimed. She talked as though Apollo was a helpless critter. "Okay,so I forgot some of the names you told me on the phone. I only remember uh...Piper McLean,the famous one?"

Famous?

"Uh..yeah,that's me?" Piper shrugged.

"Great! I'm sure we'll become besties! And you?" She asked me. I blinked.

"Annabeth Chase."

"Good...and you?" She asked slowly to Penny,who looked like she wanted to choke this girl alive.

"Penny Jackson. And yours?"

"Daphne Rose." She said sweetly. Penny nodded slowly,flexing her fingers threateningly. "Well,I'll see you in your room then. Keys,please?"

"Um..don't wanna burst your bubble Daphne,but there's no place in either of our rooms for one more stay." Percy said quickly. Apollo threw in a grateful look to him,but Daphne laughed.

"Don't be silly Percy,I'm moving in here!"

"What?" We all asked in unison. Daphne nodded.

"Well,I recently learnt that your friend Leo Valdez checked out of your room and moved. So Percy can live there,while I move in here!" She chirped. We all exchanged glances.

"Um..sure?" Percy shrugged. Penny shot him a death glare,but the deed was done. Daphne held out her hand to Apollo.

"Keys,please?"

He dug in his pocket and brought of a silver ring with the key on it. She received it and once again,planted a kiss on his cheek. "Thanks babe. I'll see you later." And she pranced out of the house. It was a complete silence,before Penny broke it. She took a deep breath and said; "I-I need to go to the bathroom."

"Penny-" Apollo started,but she whipped out of sight. He groaned,collapsing on the bed.

"Gods,I totally forgot that she'd be coming." He mused.

"Who is she?" I asked. Percy gave me an amused look.

"She's Apollo's childhood friend."

"That explains why my childhood was so bad." Apollo said sourly. Something told me Penny wasn't really going to the bathroom. Me and Piper exchanged looks.

"You guys aren't really dating,right?" Piper asked. Apollo sighed and moistened his lips.

"Look. I-I better go talk to her-"

"She'll kick your balls. We'll talk to her first." I told him with a slight smile. I kept aside the fact that Apollo really didn't answer the question. Was he dating Daphne?

oOoOo

"Go away,I'm busy."

"Penny,open the door,we know you're really not doing your business." Piper said,rolling her eyes.

"Yes I am. Do you want my poop as evidence next,Detective McLean?"

"Oh shut up. Penny,I understand that you're mad because Apollo's...kind of associated with this girl-"

The door suddenly flew open. Penny glared at her hysterically "Me? Mad? Because of Daphne? What gave you that kind of idea?"

Me and Piper crossed our arms and stared at her. She pulled at her hair,sighing.

"I'm fine guys,really. Now,I'm going to bed."

"But it's only seven!"

"And I don't care." Penny said plainly. She pushed past us and walked off. Piper shook her head dejectingly.

"When this happens,either find blue food,or get a glass of water. Or let her have her moments of Kpop. Or let her punch you."

"I'll just get her a glass of water." I said,walking into the kitchen. The boys were talking seriously in the living room,but I couldn't hear anything. I grabbed the jug of water when I heard a buzz behind me. Turning around on the spot,I saw that it was a phone. Percy's phone.

'You better be there Jackson,or else your sister is next.'
