A/N Guess what? I updated on time! I don't think I have any more trips coming up so hopefully I can start updating on time again.

Okay, so fun fact (Well, not so fun… more gross): Zeus is Persephone's dad in greek mythology. Gross right?

Aphrodite in Disguise: Demeter next would be a good idea. You could write about her being frustrated with losing her daughter and hence being filled with bitterness.

A later comment by Aphrodite: You could write about her unhappiness at losing her daughter to Hades.

myawfod: Demeter, spending more time interacting instead of with plants?

Anime Princess: For Demeter, possibly talking about her eternal argument with Hades about Persephone. She can't STILL be upset about that. I mean, she spends days down there in Hades. If he truly hated her so much, all he'd have to do is deny her entry and she'd never see her daughter again. True, she'd probably send Earth into a permanent freeze where nothing grows, but he could do it. He has done it; so she should know he is serious. Plus, Persephone is very tried of her mother acting like she knows best for everything...she's trying too hard. Also, her obsession with cereal...she'd hiding something with that too.

FadingSunlight: Hmm, Demeter... She doesn't show up much. I guess she needs to learn how to let things go. She still holds the whole Persephone thing against Hades even though thousands of years have passed.

Chasing Nirvana: Um, Demeter is next, so maybe about her cereal obsession and her hatred of Hades. Because I feel she doesn't hate Hades she hates that he married her daughter and now she's alone in life for half the year.

Man guys, all these reviews on Demeter! Are you sure you all don't have a secret obsession with Demeter… or maybe cereal? :D (By the way, I find it quite entertaining that you all think that she is hiding something with her obsession with cereal. Have you ever thought that maybe she just really like cereal?)

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO.

To Demeter,

You are bitter. I realize that many of you gods are bitter in your own ways, but I feel that you are bitter than most of them. Yes, they have had their loved ones cheat on them, and their family killed, but you had you daughter taken away from you. Persephone may not be dead, but I bet it hurts that you can't see her all the time. That doesn't give you an excuse for being mad at Hades though. He knows that he made a mistake, and he regrets it.

I understand, okay. You're the mom. It's your job to worry about your kids. You don't want them to get hurt, and it's hard when you're not the one caring for them. When a child is young, that is when your train them, nurture them, and care for them. I understand that it's hard for you, but there is a point in every kid's life when you need to let go. There comes a point when you need to let them be themselves and make their own choices. Even animals know this. The mama bears let their cubs go live on their own, and the birds let their young fly free. You may not understand why you need to do this, so I'll put it this way: How can a flower blossom if you refuse to let it grow? Likewise: How can your daughter become and adult and her own person if you refuse to let her grow and make her own choices?

Trust me, your Persephone is in good hands. She loves Hades, and her loves her. If they hurt each other, it's not on purpose, and often, they hurt themselves more than they hurt the other person. Demeter, you have to stop worrying about what you can't change.

You know, I once wondered why you had a cabin full of demigods. I mean it may be because you like the rest of the gods can't stay with one person, but that's the thing. You don't have someone that you are tied down to. (Apollo and Hermes don't either, but they are different matters.) I think that you are trying to make up for missing your daughter. You make all these other kids trying to make up for missing her, but it will never work. As odd as this sounds, maybe that's another reason for your obsession with cereal. Mothers are always telling their children to eat right or to make sure they eat breakfast before they run off for the day. Maybe you are trying to make up for Persephone by trying to nurture everyone else you meet.

I'll tell you this though. It won't work. When someone as special to you as a daughter comes along, you can't ignore that they ever were. It'd doesn't work like that. In your heart there will always be a special place for her that no one can fill. Don't feel hopeless though. Demeter, you still have half a year with your daughter and Hades lets you visit here. That is more time than most parents get with their adult children. For us demigods, most of our parents only get to see us a few months out of the year, and we aren't even grown ups yet! As for our godly parents, they don't get to see us at all unless they are lucky. Count yourself blessed, Demeter, count yourself blessed.

That's really all I have to say to you. Just please try not to be bitter, okay? If you won't try for me or even your own self, than try for your daughter. She needs a mother who she can lean on, not one that's bitter toward the choices she made.

"Bitterness and resentment only hurt one person, and it's not the person we're resenting - it's us."

-Alana Stewart

It's true you know,

Percy Jackson.

A/N I'm sorry for the short chapter, but Demeter wasn't mentioned very much in the books, so it's hard to know what her character is. Guess what? We are at 75 reviews! That's only 15 away from 100! I think we can reach that in two chapters. What do you think? Anyway, See you next time. Next is Dionysus.

To KindaLikeShadow (Guest): Thank you for not flaming. I realize that Percy is sort of OOC. Obviously, in the real books, he never lashed out at the Olympians (Well, not majorly anyway.), so him doing so would be odd in general. I can't say that making Percy OOC was intended because it wasn't, but I hope it doesn't upset your reading too much. Once again, thank you for the review. I hope that you enjoy your reading.

I don't know why but the thought suddenly came to me that is would be funny if someone's pen name was Guest. Nothing else, just Guest. (Sorry for bothering you guys with my random thought, but I had to get it out of my head.)

For any of you who were waiting for the story I adopted from Trevor607, it's posted now.

Bye my little tear droplets! (Yep, I'm calling you that now.)
