My gods, Out is back! Why, dude/dudette? And, yes loo roll. If someone's being sick at home, we tend to have loo roll handy so they can wipe their mouth, OK? OK, good. Besides, Out, I thought you didn't like my stories?

For the rest of you lovely lot (including Bookworm19980115 who read all 35 chapters in one day- crazy, amazing person!), I will update. Don't forget to vote!


I take it you all want to know what work Annabeth had for Leo, right?

Well… she had him put a lock on Tobias's door and bars on his window.

Such a lovely mother.

"Mom! That's not fair!"

"Maybe you should think about that next time for being such an idiot!"

"I said sorry!"

"Sorry doesn't work!" Percy laughed.

"Dad, can't you talk her out of this?"

"Oh, please do. I wanna see what a fail Percy is."

"Lou, shut up."

"Make me."

"Twins, do not fight!"

"Or what? Ya gonna lock me in my room?" Silence. "Bloody hell, Annabeth, if looks could kill."

"It's a shame they don't." Annabeth grumbled.

"Have you seen Lou's death stares?" Leo asked quietly. "She'd be a flipping mass murderer."

"Heh," Louisa laughed. "Already am." There was a silence before Louisa burst out laughing. "You guys are so gullible."

"No, you're so believable."

"Really? Valdez, what is wrong you?"

"I married you."

"Oh! Burn!" Percy taunted.

"Can I come out yet?" Tobias asked.

"No!" Annabeth snapped.

"Aw, what?"

"Break the door down, kid."

"Lou, I will kill you."

"Go on then."

"How about now? Can I come out now?"

"No!"

"Mom, what about college?"

"I'll tell them you're ill."

"For the rest of my life?"

"If I have to, yeah."

"'N' people call me evil."

"You are evil."

"I know."

"You sound way too happy about that, chica."

"Bye, Squirtface!" Tobias heard the adults go downstairs.

"Child cruelty!" He shouted after them. He didn't get a response, but he thought he could hear Louisa laughing.


Max came up and talked to him after a few hours.

"What'd you do?" He asked. Tobias didn't answer straight away. "Tobias, seriously. What'd you do?"

"I was drunk…" Tobias started carefully. "Soph was too…"

"Was she a crazy drunk?"

"She wasn't that bad, but still, kinda drunk."

"What happened?" Tobias stayed quiet. "Oh, you didn't?"

"Mmm…"

"So, she's p-?"

"Yep."

"Dude!" Max laughed. "No wonder Mom chased you with a frying pan!" Max laughed again. "What are you gonna do?"

"I don't know… Max?"

"Yeah?"

"She had that morning after pill thingy. Why didn't it work?"

"I dunno, bud. Does it look like I'm doctor?" Tobias sighed. "You've gotta sort something out, bro."

"That's if Mom doesn't kill me."

"Well, by the look she's giving me, she's gonna kill me for sitting here. Bye bro."

"Max!" But he was already gone. Tobias groaned in complaint and slumped against the wall.

Damn being drunk…
