Hi! Since I want to make this quick, I'm sorry to say that I'm going to stop listing people who reviewed. Thanks so much for every review I got! I cherish every single review I get, but my authors notes have been huge so…

This chapter's song is: Better Days by the Goo Goo Dolls, once again, not the best choice, but s'okay.


"What…?" Percy asked, his voice seemed to rise making it sound like a high-pitched girl.

"You're kinda my father." I repeated, this time believing it more than I did the first time I said it.

"How did you get my number?" Percy asked after a long pause.

"What type of question is that?" I asked, but kept going, "My mom's old address book. I found it underneath her diary, which had you in it."

"Oh." Percy said, pausing for a while, "So… what does this mean exactly?"

"I'm not sure." I replied honestly, I didn't quite think this completely through. When I called him, all I knew was that I was going to tell him the secret I had just found out, but after that it was all blank. "I can control water."

I didn't quite mean to say it so bluntly, but it was a conversation piece, and a similarity with my father.

"Oh really." Percy said, I couldn't quite tell if he was amused or in too much shock to sound like anything else, "Troy's just starting to discover his, but he's much younger. What can you do?"

"Well… tons of stuff. Control it, make stuff freeze and melt, and stuff like that." I said simply, though if it were anyone else hearing this conversation would send me straight to the mental asylum.

"That's really cool, it sounds like you can do a lot more than Troy, probably because of your mother-" Percy started, but I cut him off.

"I know your father is Poseidon, but who is my grandma, the diary didn't quite say…"

"Athena, goddess of Wisdom."

"No wonder why she and Layla are so smart." I said, more to myself than him, "By any chance, are you…" I didn't quite want to ask if he was stupid or slow like me, but I was curious where the missing link in my intelligence genetics is.

"Stupid?" He laughed as he said this, "Kinda, I'm very dyslexic, and well, not the fasted person around… that's why your mom always called me Seaweed Brain."

"That explains some things…"

I could picture him laughing from all the way across the country, "Sorry about that. How many schools have you been kicked out of?"

"Excuse me?" I asked, I may not be the brightest kid in the school, but that doesn't mean that I was getting kicked out of them.

"You mean to tell me that you haven't been kicked out of a school yet? You're much luckier than I was."

"How many schools were you kicked out of?" I asked, this type of stuff Izzy was thank me for finding out later.

"I'm not sure I can count, I couldn't stay in a school for longer than a year until I became famous, than suddenly everyone wanted me in their school"

"Well, popularity does have its advantages."

"Very true." He said, than silence hit the phone. "Have you told your mother yet?" He asked after a while.

"No. Any suggestions?" I asked, I wasn't quite sure about how to tell my mom, dad, and Layla that I know that mom's been keeping a secret about who I am for the past 15 years.

"Uh… go easy on them?" Percy suggested meekly.

"Thanks, I'll remember that when I'm telling my 'dad' that I'm not his child, that I know my mom is half god, and that my only sister is in fact my half sister." I said dripping with sarcasm.

"Hey, it can only help." Percy said, "So Ally, you know that I'm coming to New York City in about 3 days. If you want… well… I'd like to well… have some alone time with you."

"Yeah sure…Dad?" I said, unsure about what to call him, "If that's okay with you."

"That's totally fine, I could use a daughter I guess… right? I'm just sad I mist the whole first part of you life." Percy said, his voice turning sad at the end.

"I can bring pictures, mom always forced my other dad to take pictures for just about everything." I said, remember that trip to the beach when he went through 5 roles of film.

"That would be nice I suppose." Percy said.

I heard footsteps and a creek in the door, before someone I recognized to be my dad said, "Ally, I'm home sweetie, what are you up to?"

"Uh, Dad?" I whispered into the phone.

"What?" He asked.

"I have to go, my other dad is kinda here now, and I think I should tell my mom first." I explained.

"Okay then, well, do you have an email or anything like that?" He asked, "Just so can make arrangements to have time just the two of us."

I gave him my email, and then we said goodbye.

He actually took it much better than I would have expected him to. I half expected him to be shocked, and freak out and hang up on me, but instead he was sweet, and let me call him father. We even had read conversations with each other.

He was more of a father than I could have expected or wanted. It was nice for a change, to have things turn up for me.

Little did I know they were about to turn down again… way down.

"Who were you talking to and why did you call him dad?" Layla asked.

Sorry for giving you guys another cliffhanger and making this chapter short. It's just that it's a Monday and I felt bad about not updating over the weekend so I updated today, but the price was that the chapter was on the shorter side.

The next chapter should be longer… hopefully. Anyways, please, please review! You know how much I like them, and how much of a good mood they put me in, so make my depressing and hard week happy by reviewing.
