Holy Hephaestus, I really just did this :o

I'm not changing the story type for one chapter, but consider this your warning:

CROSSOVER CROSSOVER CROSSOVER!

Yes, I did a crossover. Somebody call the police!

I got this idea as I was rereading the Crown of Ptolemy today. I thought to myself as Percy had his thoughts about the future of his family, 'what if Lacy had a favorite toy named...?'

I couldn't resist.

I own nothing you recognize as canon.

25: Teddy Bear

Or, You Know, Teddy Camel

Percy Jackson yawned as he shuffled through the cabin. He and the rest of the Seven (and their families) were spending a few weeks at a cabin in the mountains down south. It was a sort of getaway retreat, a vacation away from New York and demigod stuff.

Leo and Calypso, who was about six month pregnant, with their twins, were curled up on a blow-up mattress in the den. A few Tiny Festus robots skittered around the cabin, supposedly a defense in case a monster attacked them as they slept. How powerful they were supposed to be, Percy hadn't a clue.

Frank, also-pregnant Hazel, and Sammy Leo were sharing the couches in the living area, while Jason, Piper, and Mark slept in main bedroom. Piper had supplied the cabin, so she argued the Grace family get the best room. Percy, Annabeth, Lacy, and little Bobby got to stay in the second bedroom.

Percy shuffled over to the kitchen and fished out a bottle of water. Annabeth could drink coffee all she wanted. Percy got his energy from water well enough.

"Daddy, can I have one, too?"

Percy jumped. He looked behind him and smiled, handing his daughter, Lacy, a second bottle of water. The eight-year-old happily chugged it. She was still in her blue nightgown and bunny slippers, clutching her favorite toy, Sadie the camel.

Yes.

Her teddy bear was a camel named Sadie.

Percy thought of that. Annabeth thought it a little amusing. No one else understood the joke.

Percy patted Lacy on the head and downed his own water. "Wanna go for a morning swim, sweetie?"

Lacy's eyes lit up brighter than the sun. "Yes! Can we practice some more?"

Percy grinned. "Get dressed an you'll find out."

"Okay, Lacy," Percy called out from across the water. "I'm gonna push Sadie with my waves. You gotta counter me. Sadie can't get wet, okay? A drop is fine, but don't let me submerge her. Okay?"

Lacy nodded. She was in her swim suit, waded out as far as her belly. Percy was even further, holding Sadie the camel toy. He placed it onto some driftwood and began pushing.

Percy knew this exercise would help keep Lacy focused. Gods knew he had a tough time doing that when he first learned to control water. In life, he still sucked at keeping his attention on one thing. At least he'd learned to focus during a fight. Lacy needed that skill, too.

Lacy did well, pushing her own waves against Percy's, keeping Sadie the camel afloat and dry. Percy let her have that confidence for a few more minutes before putting in some tiny whirlpools.

"Dad!" Lacy protested. "You said you were using waves!"

"To push," he countered. "I never said I wasn't going to use other methods to sink her."

Sadie came really close to capsizing, but Lacy somehow steadied the driftwood and kept her afloat.

"Good job, Lacy! You're doing great. Now, let's see how you handle this!"

At that moment, a certain magician duo was wandering through the woods, looking for their runaway griffin, Freak. They had been flying him around for some exercise when the darn thing had bolted south—way far south. He'd thrown both Carter and Sadie off the flying reed boat when they hit the mountains. Sadie had landed in a tree; Carter, in the mud.

"Brother, I do believe that wasn't mud," Sadie complained as she held her nose.

Carter sent her a glare. "It was mud."

"Keep tellin' yourself that. I'll just stay ten feet away at all times."

Carter grumbled.

"SADIE!"

Both magicians froze. Carter looked at his sister. Sadie shrugged, just as confused as him.

"I don't think I'm the only Sadie in the world," his sister said.

"FREEEEEEAAAAK!"

Carter sighed. "But I think there's only one Freak."

"No there isn't," Sadie argued. "If there was, you wouldn't be here."

Carter resisted the urge to smack his sister. Even in their twenties, she had that annoying streak. They ran through the trees and came out into a clearing with a pond in the middle.

Freak the griffin was splashing around the pond, taking a nice bird bath and gargling water in his beak.

Two people were wading around the griffin cautiously. One was a little girl with blonde hair. She splashed aimlessly at Freak—could she actually see him?—the other was…

Sadie squinted. "Is that Percy?"

She was right. Carter could see that the man in the water was Percy Jackson! And that little girl had to be his daughter!

"Dad," the girl whined. "That mean gryphon ate Sadie!"

Carter was confused. Did the little girl have a sister named Sadie? Or a pet? If it's a pet, I hope it's a rat. That'd show Sadie! He nearly snorted out loud.

Sadie put her hands on her hips. "No, he didn't," she called. "He'd be getting a hole in his stomach if that was the case!"

Percy snapped his head around so quickly, Carter thought he might get whiplash. The son of Poseidon grinned. "Hey, Carter! Hey, Sadie! What brings you here?"

Carter pointed. "That's our griffin, Freak."

"FREEEEAAAAK!"

"Can't imagine why he's named that," Percy remarked. "I think I would have gone for Birdie, personally."

Sadie grinned and shed her jacket. "Original. I thought about Chicken, once, but Carter said no."

"He would. I guess it's out of respect for his giant chicken man mode."

Carter rolled his eyes. "Don't start that again! It's a falcon-headed warrior!"

Freak squawked and flapped his wings, spraying water everywhere. The little girl growled, "Give her back, you meanie! Sadie's mine!"

A giant water fist popped up out of the water. Lacy went red-faced, scowling as the fist punched Freak right in the gut.

The griffin coughed, like he had a hairball, then spat out a little plush toy—a camel plush.

Carter lost it. "You named the camel toy after my sister? Genius! Why didn't I think of that?"

Sadie punched him.

Percy laughed. "I take credit for that. Lacy found the camel in a toy store and fell in love. Annabeth said it reminded her of when Sadie kept dropping camels on the bad guys, so…I couldn't resist suggesting the name."

Carter wiped a tear from his eye. "Fantastic."

Sadie kicked off her shoes. "Brother, since Freak doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon…fancy a swim?"

Before Carter could say no, she pushed him into the pond. She jumped in immediately after. Percy and Lacy laughed as the two siblings thrashed in the water.

"Mama, where's Lacy and Daddy?"

Annabeth looked up from her book. "Haven't seen them all morning. You know your father; he's probably doing something dumb."

Calypso smirked from her seat on a separate couch. "It can't be too dumb, otherwise Leo would be gone with the twins."

Leo grumbled in the kitchen as he cooked breakfast with Hazel. "Too early to make fun, mi sol."

"No such thing," Piper called from the designated 'girls bathroom', where she was changing. Jason and Frank were snickering from their seats next to Annabeth.

Just then, the back door opened. Everyone looked to the back area of the cabin.

Annabeth smiled at the group of people entering the abode. Percy was dry, as was Lacy, though both were wearing swimsuits. Lacy clutched her favorite Teddy Camel protectively, like it was going to be snatched out of her hands any second. Then there were the two people entering behind Percy. "Well, well," she said. "Look who it is: dripping wet and…smelling odd."

Sadie Kane snickered, nudging her brother. "Told you it wasn't mud."

"It was!"

"And they would be…?" Jason questioned.

"Sadie Kane," the blonde answered. "And this wet skunk over here is my brother Carter."

"Hey," the young man greeted shyly. Annabeth still couldn't get used to how different the siblings were.

Leo glanced out the window. "Um…Why is there a gryphon playing with Festus?"

"Freak likes shiny objects," Carter explained. "And your dragon is ridiculously shiny."

Leo grinned. "Well, he did just get a bath."

Percy chuckled. "Speaking of baths, Carter…"

"Yeah, yeah, I know…Fine, it wasn't mud."

A/N: Hurr. This is how the Seven (sans Percy and Annabeth) will meet the Kanes. I hope I got them right, since I've never done the Kanes before.

DON'T EXPECT ANY KANE CHRONICLES STORY BECAUSE IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN. This is most likely gonna be the only time I get the Kanes in the spotlight, though now I might make references to them when Percy and Annabeth have their moments.
