Continued from before!

To RandomFanAuthor and HoO Fan- Lizzie is Jessica's biological daughter she had at fifteen. Her mother, Denise, took the baby away before she even got to see her and put her up for adoption. Lou tracked her down. More on that later!

To Herelam101- Sooo one continuous fart joke that ends in goddy poo?


The doorbell rang again, bang on seven o'clock. Louisa made to stand. Lizzie smacked her in the face with a Christmas cushion. "Stay down, Fish!" She ordered, sprinting for the door. Louisa spluttered protests, but Lizzie was already there. "And you must be- wait, cruise girl?" Louisa squirmed under her sister's arm, stationing herself between them.

"Lou, this is your sister?"

"Unfortunately."

"Fish, I know her!"

"Fish?" Reyna snorted, hurriedly making it a cough as Louisa glared. Reyna smiled, handing over a neatly wrapped present. "Food smells lovely, can I come in?" Louisa took a moment to consider it, but Lizzie took the final verdict. She grabbed Reyna by the shoulder and hauled her inside.

"MOM!" She bellowed. "Lou's girlfriend is Cruise Girl!"

"OK, I don't know what that means." Jessica shrugged a shoulder, munching on a roast potato.

"When we were bringing the statue back," Reyna began, "we landed on a cruise ship-"

"And she didn't have a hairbrush, can you imagine?" Lizzie rolled her eyes, disgusted. Reyna regarded her carefully. "I gave her one, do you still have it?"

"Yes."

"Wait, the pink one?" Louisa asked, shaking her present and sniffing it when it made no noise. "Is this chocolate?"

"No."

"Disappointin'."

"But yes, the pink one." Lizzie nodded.

"Rey has it in her bathroom, uses it all the time."

"It's safer than the one you gave me." Reyna retorted, hands on her hips. Louisa winced at the stance and smiled sheepishly. At Lizzie's questioning look, Reyna gave an unamused half-laugh. "It looked normal enough, but had a setting that only worked at random that would set your hair on fire."

"It was purple fire. Matches ya cape."

"Cloak."

"Ooooh, don't start that again." Louisa pulled a face. Reyna shook her head, looking up at Lizzie again.

"Lou's told me all about you. It's nice to finally meet you, uh, officially?" She offered her hand. Lizzie squinted at her, at the outstretched hand, and back again.

"No big sister talk." Louisa warned, pouting. Lizzie frowned, staring her sister down. She slowly raised and lowered her hand to poke Reyna in the forehead, still frowning at Louisa.

"I don't care if your dad's the god of the sea. Only I can decide who's good for my little fish."

"If I may," Percy's voice came, materialising between his sisters and making Lizzie jump, "Reyna is a daughter of Bellona and she's praetor of Camp Jupiter, returned the Athena Parthenos and earned Athena's aegis as well and is, like, the only person Lou listens to."

"I understood that last past, but I don't believe it. Daughter of who?"

"Bellona. Roman goddess of war."

"And… praetor?"

"Basically chief."

"And Athena what and what?"

"Big statue of Athena, gold and ivory, stolen thousands of years ago. And aegis, Athena's shield."

"Huh."

"Nico, Coach Hedge and I accompanied the statue back to Camp Half Blood." Reyna corrected.

"Oh, and she defeated Orion." Percy grinned. "She has my approval."

"Yes, but I'm older and better than you, so my approval is the only one that counts. How do you get Lou to listen to you?" Reyna tapped a finger on her nose, smiling. "I suppose that's fair." Lizzie nodded slowly, mulling something over. "OK." She eventually decided, patting Reyna's head. "If you can keep Fish out of trouble, you will do nicely."
