AN: Hey everyone, so there will be some chapters that I will delay posting just for added effect. Why? You ask. Well because there is no point in having a cliff hanger if I post the next chapter really soon. It kind of nulls the supposed effect cliff hangers make. So yea, with that out of the way, I would just like to say that after this story is finished I would like to make a story of another pairing. Preferably it being Percy with either Clarisse, Zoe, or Hestia, I'll let you decide, but don't worry we aren't even close to being done with this fanfic. Also I don't own PJO or HOO or any characters from the series, those rights belong to Rick Riordan. I do however own the plot and the OCs. So with that, I implore you to enjoy the chapter :)

(Michigan, Percy POV)

We had made it to Michigan when Clarisse snapped. "That's it! I've had enough of being attacked while I'm sleeping!" She shouted this time directing it at Thalia, who was supposed to be on watch. "I said sorry, how was I supposed to know that they would send a decoy so that while I was killing the monster they would attack you!" Thalia yelled back. I sighed. It was like this every morning. Either I forgot to do something they told me, like 'I don't care, wake Thalia and put her on watch.' And when I do I get blasted by a bolt of lightning, then she yells at me for being an idiot, which wakes Clarisse up, who starts yelling at me screaming, 'you can't do one simple thing!' And then they fight. Hence I don't get a lot of sleep, so I offer to do the entire watch just to keep then happy.

We were walking along, nearing Detroit, when I felt my body able to take no more and collapsed. They turned to me, worry in their eyes. "Percy! If you die I'm going to shove my spear up your sensitive male organs!" Clarisse said but I saw the genuine worry on her face. I looked at them. "I just need some sleep," I moaned quietly. They looked at me funny.

"If you were so tired then why'd you take on the whole watch," Thalia said softly. "You guys kept fighting when I woke one of you up," I groaned as I felt my eyelids grow heavy. "Ugh, you're such a seaweed brain," Thalia huffed before grabbing her coat, bundling it up and propping it under my head like a makeshift pillow. They sat down contentedly, Clarisse' hand on my shoulder. She leaned down and whispered in my ear, "Thanks for putting up with us," she said planting a kiss on my cheek. I felt myself blush before drifting off to a sleep not plagued by dreams.

When I came too I saw Thalia watching the forest, and Clarisse's head on my chest. When Thalia saw I was awake she motioned to Clarisse, and did a violent pushing motion. I realized what she was saying and my eyes widened. I shook my head violently. If I pushed Clarisse's head off she would kill me. Thalia just sighed, going back to watching the surrounding area.

I lay there, watching Clarisse sleep peacefully. She looked so serene when she was sleeping. While I was watching her sleep her eyes flew open, and realizing where she was, she immediately got up. I was expecting a slap or punch or spear to the gut, but she just looked at me with an expression I couldn't read, and got up.

"C'mon, let's get a move on," she growled menacingly, as if daring Thalia to bring up what just happened. Thalia just smiled, then continued walking. I got up, rushing to Thalia, and gave her the coat back.

(Olympus, Artemis POV)

The meeting was going well, but the next words that left Zeus' mouth chilled me to the bone.

After he said it, everyone looked stunned. "No way," Apollo was the first to speak up. "I love Percy, we all do, you can't do that to him!" He yelled. Zeus calmly reached over and grabbed his master bolt. "I said," Zeus growled, "I will not change my mind," he said coldly, his eyes flashing dangerously. Apollo looked ready to fight more, but before he got incinerated, I spoke up.

"Very well, but if it becomes a problem for my hunters I will end it," I spat acidly. Poseidon growled, angry at Zeus, but angry with me as well. "If anything happens, I will upheave Olympus if I have to, and will slaughter all your hunters, I swear it on the Styx" he growled menacingly as thunder rumbled and Olympus shook.

My eyes widened at his threat. I nodded curtly, knowing that Poseidon never made empty threats, but he was serious this time. He just swore to tear down Olympus after all. I just hoped this wouldn't be a recipe for disaster.

I flashed to the hunt to see Phoebe sparring with...Madeline? I walked over to them and tapped Phoebe on the shoulder. "Phoebe, what is Madeline doing here, I thought she was at camp half-blood?" I asked, surprised that she was here but also glad. Maybe she would join the hunt.

"She decided she didn't like it at camp and wanted to join us," she replied with a smirk, confirming my thoughts. I smiled. I walked over to Madeline and had her repeat the oath after making sure she knew what she was about to do.

"I'm glad, I don't trust males at all. My step dad abused me, and touched me in places," she began as she ducked her head in shame. "My mom died so I was forced to stay with him, but I ran away eventually," she finished her story as I looked at her with sympathetic eyes. I knew she was a virgin still, being the goddess of virginity I could tell, but what that man did was inexcusable.

"Then the boys at camp half-blood began saying I was weak and useless, and the girls called me ugly and pathetic. I don't know why, I never did anything to them," she finished as she began to cry, relieving the painful memories she had. I guessed with a good amount of certainty that they were jealous or spiteful because she was related to Percy or could be just as powerful. Petty, I know.

She recited the oath and began to glow silver, as I placed my hand on her shoulder. "Welcome home, sister" I said, grinning as she broke into a smile and enveloped me in a bone crushing hug.

After that I gathered the hunters and told them, from the beginning, about how I noticed Percy in the Roman camp, which I had to explain to them and make sure they kept quiet about it. Then about how Thalia was with him and a camper from camp half-blood too. I explained the dreams they had, and then Madeline asked a question.

"How do you know all this?" She asked. I took a deep breath, and everyone expected another long story. "We IMed Thalia," I said as they all broke out laughing at the one simple answer I gave them tonight.

"So we're going to meet Percy at some point, right?" Madeline asked, except it was more of a statement than a question. I realized that she was going to meet her brother for the first time. Although she wasn't that excited, probably because he was a male. Well, he would definitely show her, and all the hunters, that he was different from the rest.

(Camp half-blood, Grover POV)

I had finally settled down to sleep, and thought about how the campers had been treating Madeline the past few days. She came to me, asking for help, so I directed her towards the general direction of the hunters, which I knew only because of my constant pestering of Dionysus to find her. Which he did, albeit grudgingly, and with a lot of grumbling.

As I drifted off, I found myself in an ocean, with an entity made of swirling water, and striking silver eyes. Not to mention he was huge, bigger than even Typhon. I knew this would be one hell of a dream, because I could feel Pontus' strength rolling off of him.

(Pennsylvania, Clarisse POV)

I blushed again, remembering how I had fallen asleep on Percy's chest. He looked at me from across the camp fire. His eyes were holding a strange emotion, one that I saw on his face frequently when he was with Annabeth.

Thalia went to sleep immediately, being the one that had remained awake for the longest time since our mishap in Michigan.

I walked over to Percy. I was not in control of myself when I crawled on top of him. "Um, Clarisse?" He questioned as I leaned down and kissed him softly. He was shocked of course, but after a few moments his arm snaked around my waist as he pulled me in closer.

I kissed his neck, slowly going down when I heard someone clear their throat. My head snapped up to find Thalia looking over us, a bemused expression on her face. I blushed, my head sinking into Percy's chest once more. "Fine, I'll be on watch, you two lovebirds can go to sleep," she said with a sweet smile.

I looked at Percy to see him blushing furiously. I smiled, kissed him one more time, and settled down comfortably on his chest. (I know I said there would be no more romance other than pertemis, but I couldn't resist)

(New York, Percy POV)

We finally made it to home sweet home. After another hour of travel we arrived at camp half-blood. I was about to step over the boundary when an arrow imbedded itself into a tree just inches from my head. I noticed it was silver, but nevertheless I turned and uncapped Riptide and whirled around, only to find Artemis and the hunt looking a little too innocent.

I walked over to Artemis and began to bow. she simply placed her hand on me and we disappeared in a flash of silver. I noticed me and the hunters along with Clarisse were teleported to a small clearing.

"Percy, Zeus has declared something rather big involving you," Artemis began.

AN: sorry everyone, but the cliffie continues. I know. I'm a horrible person, not only did I still not reveal what happens, but the chapter is short as well. Without any fighting scenes, it was a filler with a little bit of fluff. Not to mention Grover is visited by Pontus. What will go down there, no one knows. As always, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, if you did, review, if you didn't, review, all that good stuff. See you next time on Yugioh Zexal! Okay I need to stop :(
