Annabeth's Point of View:

Mom, Percy and I left without packing much. Only made mom changed to her 30 year old form and placed some ambrosia and money and stuff into the ferrari. But then, we really didn't need the car, seeing that the site was about a 20-minute walk away. But some people, decided that they are too lazy to walk (and another claimed that she was too old) so we took it anyways.

Even thought we lived so close to Aunt Rosie's farm, we were one of the lastest ones there. I blame mom. She makes out with Lord Poseidon too much. And for another reason too.

"Where will be park the car?" asked Percy.

I shrugged. "You guys were the one who wanted to bring it."

"Now, dear, look for a spot." That was my mother.

I shrugged and pointed to a space that said no parking. "Risk it?"

I watched my mother snap her fingers and made the sign disappear somewhere else. Ah, the perks of being a goddess.

Unfortunately, this also meant that I caught a lot of attention. Everyone was waiting quietly. The adults all bowed their heads towards my mother, and so I mock glared at her. Throughout my entire life, I had made a group to classify people in the Chase family: Good vs. Bad. Pretty original.

"Well?" Mother asked. "Stop being so formal. I thought this was a family reunion."

The crowd quickly separated and then there was nosy chattering.

Aunt Rosie came over.

"Hi, Annabeth. Look how tall you have grown!"

I smiled and hgged my aunt. She was one of the better ones.

I turned to mom and Percy. "Aunt Rosie, this is my mom, Athena." They shook hands. "And this is my boyfriend, Percy Jackson, a son of Poseidon."

She raised an eyebrow. "But I thought."

"Well, my mother here and his father turned out to be dating now becuase opposites attract."

"Not always," my mother countered. "Go look at Aphrodite and Hephaestus. I certainly don't see them together."

I widened my eyes. "Lost an argument already?" Percy joked.

I punched him but ended up cradling my own hand. I forgot that he visited the Styx again... oops.

He grinned in victory and mother rolled her eyes. "Start getting used to it."

"Well, anyone want cookies?" Aunt Rosie asked.

Percy and I nodded eagerly. She went back to the farmhouse and I made mother come with me. She owes it to me after the quest. (A/N I don't want to spoil. If you read the Mark of Athena, then you know what I mean).

"These are good," Percy said.

"Every cookie tastes good to you!"

Mother shook her head. "Chess?"

I nodded and called dad to help me beat mom. We went to a checkered table and started playing, with dad and I as white. I played e4 as my first move. And mother played c5.

Dad widened his eyes. "Sicilian already?! It's only the first round?!"

She chuckled and hit the clock. "You are the one who told me that you suck at it,"

Dad quickly played Nf3, and mom smirked. d6. I groaned and glared again. I mean come on! We were catching a lot of attention already. Can't mom go easy one her favorite daughter and ex?

Dad reached for a knight but I pushed a pawn forward to d4 before he could touch it. Battle reflexes, I was quicker. And slapped the clock.

"You know, you could have played anything you want."

She quickly made a move: taking my pawn on d4 and slapped the clock.

I took her pawn with my knight. SMACK!

Mom developed a knight to f6. Did she really have to make us look bad?! Humph! Well, I could always pretend I lost on time.

"Mom, do you have a paper and pencil?"

"Why?"

"I don't want us discussing things where you can hear it."

And I got the paper.

Dad and I played and scribbed notes on the paper about why it wouldn't work until we had 5 seconds left. Mom had 5 minutes. We didn't care about strategy anymore; we were losing badly anyways. We were trying to win by time. Stupid? Yep. Because ten seconds later we ran out of time.

I turned my head away and argued about how unfair she was.

"All's fair in love and war, dear."

I mumbled under my breath. I certainly learned that I do not like to lose, not even to my mom. (-_-) was how my face looked like and I'm pretty sure that if I lose one more time, it'll be: (;_;).

Mother winked at me. "Anyone else want to play?" she asked, and I got off to stand next to Percy.

A girl that I hate named Claudia (A/N No offense, okay?) Chain grinned truimphly at me and took a seat. She shook my mother's hand which my mother approved of.

I studied her. She had some make up on. SHe was wearing short shorts and a tight tank top. Like a typical cheerleader.

This time, Athena played white. Starting move? e4. Okay. I started recording everything down next to my mom because I was bored and there was no clock. For the next few minutes it looked like:

e4

e5

Nf3

Nc6

Nc3

Nf6

a4

exd4

Nxd4

Bc5

Nb3

Bb6

How come it was hard on me and easy for her? I thought.

Because you had Frederick's help. Wait. Move 18, I'll finish this game.

I put my head down and waited. At move 18, Claudia lost and looked like she didn't believe what happened, and resembled a fish.

My mother shook her hand,

See? I finished her off quicker.

I'm still mad, mother.

Mrs. Chain, who I have no idea what relation she had to me, cleared her throat and said that it was time for the barbecue. She glared at me, like it was my fault that her daughter lost. Though I have to admit... maybe it was. Oh well.

My stepmother (A/N Some help please? The books don't mention her name at all and every fanfic has different names for her), father and the twins all somehow ended up walking with me.

Or maybe because dad wanted to talk to mom about war. Figures. They were chatting about his work. My stepmother stood there, awkwardly. I guess I would too, her husband's ex. was a goddess standing before her. The favorite daughter of the king of gods, no less.

"Your family's not that bad, Wisegirl,"

I quickly said rapidly: "Who said that they are all bad. The ones on my step mother's side are bad. The others are awesome. Plus, if they are acting nice, it's probably because of my mother."

"Huh? They know?"

"The adults, yes. And perhaps some of the older ones."

"Oh... I guess that makes sense."

"I know I am right,"

There weren't many people surrounding the barbecue. However, much to my dismay, Claudia and her mother had to be there.

"Hey, there," she said to Percy. "I didn't catch your name."

"Percy Jackson," I shot at her.

"Oh. Why are you with her?"

"She's my girlfriend..." My Seaweed Brain could be so stupid sometimes.

While I tried to ignore Claudia flirting with my boyfriend, I considered my surroundings. The farm didn't change much. I shivered at the cows. There were many children running all over the place. I then saw my grandparents. No, not Zeus and Metis. I mean, my dad's parents. I loved them; they are just plain awesome.

"Hello, Annabeth," said my grandmother.

"Hi, Granny," I replied.

"How's your year, Annie?"

"Grandpa! I'm not Annie! Not Anna, Annie, Beth, just Annabeth."

"But you're Wisegirl!" Seaweed Brain protested.

"Wisegirl?" Grandmother handed me a sausage on a stick. It tasted awesome.

"Daughter of Athena thing." He explained. "At first it was supposed to be an insult. But it doesn't seem like a good insult; there are none. A daughter of Athena doesn't have many insulting nicknames."

"Whilst a Son of Poseidon has plenty," I piped up.

"A Son of Poseidon and Daughter of Athena?"Grandpa asked.

"Yea. We're rebellious, I guess. And opposites attract."

Percy frowned. "It doesn't seem like it... My father is all emotions and Athena is all brainy and stuff. One is all smart and the other... not so much. Boy vs. Girl. I don't see them attracting..."

"They do now." I protested, seeing where this was getting to be. I had a feeling Athena would agree with her.

"Before! They fight like every single second!"

"Okay... you have a point..."

"YAY! I WON AGAINST ANNABETH!" He cheered.

"It's only this time!" I protested.

"In what?" Mother must have taken a quick break or something while dad went... somewhere?

"Words. I said opposites attract, he disagreed. And the example he used," I trailed off, giving mother a pointed look. "Just happened to be you and his father, before you started dating."

She held up her hand in mock surrender. "Fine. It is all my fault."

I rolled my eyes. Maybe dating the Ruler of Seas is a bad influence. She was usually strict and collected. But mock surrendering to a demigod? That was unheard of.

For the rest of today, we just ate, ran around, answered awkward questions, and then sleep. Mom went back to the mansion probably to see her boyfriend.

"Just don't get me little half siblings yet," I told her. I cannot wait for tomorrow...

A/N. Sorry. My uncle had made it clear. During holidays and weekends, we have two hours of two hours of internet time. Weekdays? No at all. Absolutely not. So nice, right? Anyways, I have no idea if there will be an update next week.
