A/N OHMIGOD! *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* SoNSoNSoNSoNSoNSoNSoN! *more *
I got the book!
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Percy thought Chris was still a little bit insane.
Not that he didn't respect Clarisse, especially after all they'd been through, but to date her? There was no way Chris was fixed. Not all the way at least.
(Or maybe he was never quite right in the first place.)
…
If Annabeth was thinking logically – and she always was – their personalities should never have worked together.
She was no daughter of Aphrodite, but she was pretty sure that someone as laid back as Chris would end up pissing off someone as stubborn as Clarisse pretty soon. And then the stubborn person with aggressive tendencies would kill the poor jack-of-all-trades.
They shouldn't have worked, but they did.
…
Honestly, Sherman thought Chris was the biggest idiot ever.
He loved his sister, he really did, but she wasn't exactly the girlfriend type. He was actually very surprised the son of Hermes wasn't dead yet.
Although, he mused, I suppose that's a testament to how much she likes him.
…
Chiron couldn't help but chuckle every time he saw them together.
He also couldn't help but notice how drastically the infirmary opened up after they started dating. But Chris wasn't just good for Clarisse; she helped him a lot too. He knew that Chris probably wouldn't be here today – at least, not fully here – if it wasn't for her.
Besides, he needed someone to kick his ass once in a while … She might be taking that one a little too seriously.
…
Silena thought they were the cutest thing since Travis and Katie. While most of her siblings were focused on Percy and Annabeth and the rest were focused on themselves, she had one thing on her mind – a daughter of Ares and a son of Hermes. (And a son of Hephaestus, but that was a different story.)
They were two of the hardest people she's ever had to work with; between Clarisse struggling with admitting her feelings and Chris going from friend to traitor to madman to friend to what-the-Hades-I-don't-even-know-anymore, she definitely had her work cut out for her.
But she never gave up on them, because they may have been most perfectly matched couple ever, regardless of what Drew said.
…
Travis and Connor just thought they were fun to catch and embarrass, even if it did result in many injuries from both parties.
…
Dionysus didn't care either way; it honestly didn't matter to him if the brats got together. He only fixed the boy's mind because he had nothing better to do. It had absolutely nothing to do with the heartbroken girl waiting outside.
Well, mostly.
…
Hermes had never liked Ares, but he tried to remember that he and his daughter were not the same person. After all, Ares would never have fought so hard to save his son.
And Ares would never have forgiven him. And Ares would never have been that good for him.
Hermes knew the life of a demigod was hard; Luke taught him that. He hoped this girl could make Chris's just a little easier.
…
Ares was perhaps the hardest one to please. He didn't have many daughters, and even he knew it would be a lie to say that he didn't favor Clarisse even a little bit.
And, sure, there were a number of times he just wanted to mount the head of his half-brother's damn son on the front of his war chariot, but he figured that may have been a tad over the line. Although…
No, it was clear that his daughter cared about the little brat, completely disregarding the fact he left and became a traitor. And although he wasn't much of family man, he was pretty sure killing the poor kid wouldn't brighten up his fatherly image.
But he was prepared to, should the little ingrate ever hurt her.
…
No one was quite sure how the two of them worked together, but Chris and Clarisse had never been ones to care about the outsider's view.
They made it work, and that was all that really mattered.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
A/N Wow. I dunno, I'm not really that satisfied with this.
But I guess it's more- "What was that? Coming Peeeeeeeeeeeercy!" *is off to read Son of Neptune*
Peace, Love, and Pokémon-
Mer- "I'M COMING! GIMME A FUCKING SECOND!"
