Hello!

To ArtemisApollo97: So many reviews! That makes me happy :D Yep, Percy's doing the big brother thing, but he doesn't over-do it because after all she is almost seventeen. A guest reviewer by the name of "hunterofartemis" came up with the name Ivy. And yes, Percy and Daveigh don't mess around when it comes to ignorant annoying nurses :D I do enjoy being showered with cookies! Yay :) I honestly don't know how Daveigh's going to behave in school, i have some ideas but i want to get some other stuff out of the way before i go into that. Good idea about the empousias in the bathroom - i might use that! :D And Daveigh may or may not be good - you'll have to read to find out. :D

Daveigh sat in the passenger seat of Percy's car, which was parked about a block from camp. She had gone out and bought each of the twins a box of several different neon colors of hair dye, including their usual green and blue.

"You're going to have to find a ride home," Percy said apologetically. "I'm taking Annabeth to a movie and then dinner. Piper's watching Ivy."

"Piper?" Daveigh inquired. She had met a few of her brother and future sister-in-law's friends, but not this Piper.

"Old friend," Percy explained. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "I'll tell you the story some other time."

"Wh.. Oh, never mind." Daveigh got out and leaned on the door.

"Hey, Dav?" Percy asked.

"What?"

"Don't, uhh..." He seemed like he didn't want to say something, but had to say it anyway. "Don't, uh, don't do anything... irrational, okay? We've already got one baby in the house."

Daveigh laughed. "Shut up, Percy."

Percy smiled. "Bye, kid." He drove off.

"I'm not a bloody kid!" She yelled after him. "I'm nearly seventeen!"

Daveigh shook her head and looked down at what she was wearing. Since this was an outside party, she decided to wear jeans and a black T-shirt with sneakers. Now, she wondered if maybe she should've worn something prettier...

Shut up, she chided herself. I'm here to celebrate my friends' birthday, not flirt with Mitch.

She started walking towards camp.

...

"Hi!" Emerald squealed as she threw her arms around Daveigh. So many people, Daveigh thought.

"Uhh... happy birthday," Daveigh replied.

"Thanks, sweetie! Sapphire's around here somewhere... Emerald scanned the sea of partying demigods around her. "Saph!" She yelled.

"What?" Sapphire asked. Suddenly, she was standing right behind Daveigh.

"Daveigh's here!"

"Oh, cool. Hey, Dav!"

"Hi. Uh, i got you..." she held out both boxes to each twin.

"Ooh, what's in it?" Asked Sapphire at the same moment Emerald said, "Ooh, hair dye! Thanks!"

Sapphire rolled her eyes. "You can't spoil every present, Em."

"Oh, can't I?" She grinned evilly. Then, she ran off.

"So..." Daveigh turned to Sapphire. "How exactly does she..."

"Know things?" Sapphire asked.

Daveigh nodded. "We're daughters of Hecate, the goddess of magic," Sapphire explained. "Em is mildly psychic, while I can do cool stuff, like knock you out with a single touch to your forehead. I did that to you the day we met, remember? Also the reason we have purple eyes."

"Cool!"

"Now," Sapphire said, "go find Mitch!"

"M-mitch?" Daveigh asked nervously. "Why Mitch?"

Sapphire rolled her eyes again. "Come on, Dav. I'm no Emerald, but since day one, I can see that you guys have had something special. Look, there he is!" She pointed just as the DJ switched on a slow, dancing song.

Mitch caught Daveigh's eye and flashed her a smile. Suddenly, Sapphire pushed her from behind and she fell into strong arms.

Daveigh looked up at bright blue eyes. "May I have this dance?" He drawled.

To be continued!
