Ello there. (British accent). So, In this chapter, I think it's slightly longer, and I was hit by Family-spiration, so my original plan sorta went out the window.

I actually thought that my riddle was going to be harder, but you all guessed it off the fly. I was like, "What?"

Anyway, I still haven't read The Blood of Olympus. I'm getting it for my birthday in 39 days, 15 hours, and 23 seconds and counting.

Although, I've heard it was kind of disappointing. Especially compared to foreverskysong's version.

But that' none of my business.

Piper

Piper might've been having a bad day, but she swears... Sally Jackson's Blofis's food almost made it all better.

Almost.

Although everyone finding a seat was a little hectic... Sally, Paul, Hazel and Frank got to sit at the actual dining table... how? She doesn't know.

Leo, of course, stayed at the recliner. Sadie, surprisingly sat in the other recliner. The girl is really fast. Annabeth, Jason and Piper sat on the couch. Percy was beside Annabeth, of course. He really needed to be after what just happened to him.

And Piper didn't even know what happened to him.

All she knew was that one minute, she had her legs across his lap, and knew he was thinking about life with Annabeth, and then he tensed, and almost looked terrified. She thought it was just the PTSD. Chiron said that the effects of war really take a greater told on people than most may think.

And Percy had been through two. Plus Tartarus. She's still amazed his brain hadn't combusted. Annabeth had been right there with him through it all. She experienced it, too. Although sometimes she had more episodes.

Piper thought Percy actually did, considering his fatal flaw was loyalty, and seeing people he cared about die had to be really hard for him. He was just better at containing it.

Anyway, Walt was sitting beside Sadie on the floor, and Carter and Zia sat together against the side of the sofa. Piper smiled to herself.

They make a cute couple. She thought to herself. She wanted to get to know the magicians better. They had gotten to know more about them when Sadie was explaining their first Save-the World mission, but if they were supposed to be working together, they needed to trust each other.

Piper was interrupted from her thoughts when Leo yelled, "That was Heaven!"

She looked at Leo incredulously. "You're done already?"

He shrugged. "I was hungry."

Piper rolled her eyes. "You're always hungry Leo."

"Your stomach is like a bottomless pit." Jason said, smiling.

"Hey. It's not bottomless if something comes out in the end." Leo stated.

Hazel wrinkled her nose. "That's not the picture I want in my head while I'm trying to eat." she said from her place at the table.

Leo mocked scoffed "And here I thought honesty was appreciated here."

That got a round of laughter from everybody. After everyone had calmed down Paul spoke.

"So... not to be rude or anything, but who are these extra people?" Sally smacked him on the arm.

"What? I said 'not to be rude.'!" Paul said, innocently wide-eyed, clueless to what Sally thought was wrong with what he said.

"You might actually be Percy's biological father Paul. Have you ever considered the possibility?" Annabeth asked, eyes glittering in amusement as she sipped on her water.

"Not a chance. Paul watches soap operas. He's actually obsessed with them." Percy added, looking over at Paul. Annabeth choked on her water.

"Hey! The Old and the Desperate is a classic!" Paul argued, only resulting in everyone's laughter. Leo's eyes widened.

"You watch that too?" he asked. Paul nodded, a spark in his eye."What do you think of Shelby this season?"

"Ugh. She is such a backstabber. What she did to Richard was just -"

"This is sad." Percy said, looking between Leo and Paul. "Do you not have anything better to do?"

"And how are you watching TV anyway Leo?" Piper asked. Demigods weren't supposed to use electronics; it was basically a sign to tell monsters Here I am!

"Well, we're not supposed to use electronics, no one said anything about watching something on them." Leo stated.

There was silence.

"So... we could turn that TV on and watch something?" Hazel asked, nodding towards the huge TV near Carter and Zia.

Leo shrugged. "I have no idea. But I do know we can watch whatever's on it, so long as we don't use the remote, or buttons." Piper suddenly had a thought.

"Couldn't you just design monster- proof electronics we can use?" she asked hopefully.

"I don't know. We would have to use a magic to make it less... noticeable." he sounded like he had given this subject a lot of thought.

Sally suddenly shook her head. " How did we change to four different topics in four minutes?

"We're ADHD mom. Haven't you heard?" Percy said, all serious.

"Do not get smart with me young man. Don't make me use Punishment 3." Percy paled slightly.

"Don't want that now do you?" Annabeth said, looking amusedly at Percy.

"Now, now, no need for that. Let's just forget I even said anything."

"You and I both know: once you say something, you can't take it back." Annabeth smirked.

"You just want me to get in trouble after last Tuesday, don't you? It wasn't really my fault you know."

"I couldn't get the smell off for three days."

"You did your share of stinking up the house, too." Paul chimed in.

"What is punishment 3 anyway?" Piper wondered.

"Sugar deprivation" Annabeth and Sally answered.

"Why is Jackson being treated like a five year old?" Jason asked, though it really wasn't a question.

"You know. He's hyper, unpredictable, energetic." Frank said. He hadn't spoken this whole time.

"Nice of you to join the conversation Frank." Percy said cheerfully, his trademark grin in place.

"Well, I was actually trying to eat." Frank replied.

"And you've done a very good job." Sally said. She reached over and grabbed a huge plate of cookies from the counter. "Here you go. First pick."

Frank smiled triumphantly. Percy and Leo got wide eyed. And Percy started gulping down his food while Leo shot up out of the recliner to run towards the plate. Piper took this opportunity to get up, and sit, with her plate, on the empty recliner. She plopped down, and sighed contently. By the time Leo got back with a mountain of cookies in his hand, it was already too late. "Piper!" Leo whined, jumping up and down in a pouty way.

"Too late Leo. I saw an opening, and I took it." she smiled smugly. He huffed, and sat down next to Jason, who took one of his cookies without Leo noticing. Piper met his eyes, and smirked at him. He smiled back.

Piper turned her head to look at Sadie. "Some people are just soo immature."

"Are you included in that?" she retorted. Piper glared at her playfully before turning away.

"Wait, Annabeth, what happened that had you smelly for three days anyway?" Hazel asked.

Annabeth sighed. "Percy took me out to the ocean, and we were swimming. A group of baby seals came up, and I started petting them." She closed her eyes before continuing. One of the seals threw up on me. I had to walk the city streets of Manhattan with seal vomit all over me."

"And of course, she blamed me." Percy said, offended.

"It was your fault!"

"No it wasn't!"

"Ahhh.. They banter like siblings don't they?" Hazel asked.

"Well Annabeth is practically my daughter. She basically lives here. So, I guess you could say that." Sally answered, smiling.

"Wait, wait, wait," Leo said, shaking his head, making a time-out gesture with his hands. "So, you're telling me, that they are dating reach other, when they are practically brother and sister?"

Annabeth and Percy, of course are hearing none of this, as they were still arguing. Piper looked over and saw Annabeth pinching the bridge of her nose, shaking her head, while Percy had his signature smirk on. Piper looked over at Leo, who was bus eating his cookies. She got up, looked at him, and said, "Stay." she put her plate in the trash, and grabbed two cookies from the plate.

"Thanks Sally." Piper said. Sally was interrupted from her coming response when Percy suddenly yelped.

Piper's head shot up so fast, she was surprised she hadn't gotten whiplash.

The son of Poseidon was on the couch, rubbing his arm, looking slightly annoyed, but all the more happy.

"Don't ever try to win an argument with me again." Annabeth warned.

Percy smiled at her. "Wouldn't dream of it." he said, before kissing her. Piper rolled her eyes, but smiled. "They are something else." she said softly,

Sally smiled. "Yes. They are." she replied. But she was smiling softly. And Piper was suddenly glad she was apart of this family.

Well, that's done. So... Are you all ready for Thanksgiving? Anybody wanna tell me what ya'll are doing? I would tell you guys, but IDK.

Dream Cheese, put on fake teeth, and crickets are actually good for you!

Birthdays are good for your health. Scientist studies show that the more birthdays you have, you live longer.

When the day after tomorrow is yesterday, today will be as far from Wednesday as today was from Wednesday when the day before yesterday was tomorrow. What is the day after this day?
