Disclaimer: I am not Rick Riordan, therefore, I do not own his stuff.

Don't remember who asked for this but here you go. It's been bouncing in my head for a month now and I finally stopped getting sidetracked.

Paul's famil had come to visit (and stay for the weekend) at the Jackson-Blofis apartment. Something my mom hadn't warned me about. Which meant that when Annabeth, Nico, Will, Jason, Piper, and I came in through the front door meaning to grab some cookies (and some ofmy stuff) before making a trip to New Rome, we got a bit of a shock at the amount of people in the apartment.

My mom noticed us standing in the doorway, and immediately dropped verything to rush over. "Percy! Annabeth! Nico! And you brought friends! Wait, let me guess." She stepped back from hugging me to take a god look at Will, Jason, and Piper. "Will, Jason, and Piper, right?"

They nodded. My mom squashed them into hugs. "Oh, it's so nice to finally meet you!'

An older woman cleared her throat from behind my mom. "Sally, who are these people?"

My mom composed herself. "Oh dear, I didn't introduce you all! Paul's family came to visit, you see." she told me and my friends, then turned to the older woman. "Mrs. Blofis, this is my son, Percy, and some of his friends, cousins, and girlfriend. I'm guessing you came by for snacks on the way to California?" she asked us.

Annabeth nodded. "And to pick up Percy's stuff. His cabin is such an absolute mess and we're a little short on time since we only have the weekend, so we decided to just grab stuff from his room like the overnight bag I packed him."

"And cookies." Nico added.

Piper rolled her eyes. "That's seriously all you can think about. For the last hour."

"THey're good!"

"Yes, well, anyways, BLofis family, meet my son, Percy, his girlfriend Annabeth, his friends Will and Piper, and his cousins, Jason and Nico. Percy and friends, meet Paul's family, Mrs. Blofis, Paul's brother Peter, his wife Laurie, and their kids, Conner and Alyssa, who are 16 and 14." my mom quickly introduced.

My friends and I gave awkward waves.

"Hey, isn't Conner Stoll also 16?" Piper asked.

"Piper, Conner Stoll is currently at camp, being an absolutely terrifyingly terrific role model for Julia and Alicia. His last name is most definitely not Blofis." Jason said.

"I think Leo's rubbing off on you, Piper." Will muttered.

Annabeth cleared her throat awkwardly. "So, uh...I'm gonna get Percy's stuff, because he'll start chatting with his goldfish if he tries looking for the bag." She hurried off down the hallway.

"I'll get the cookies." Nico called, running off to the kitchen. Will quickly followed, to make sure Nico wouldn't eat everything before it got to the car, much less New Rome.

That left Jason, Piper, and I standing in the entrance facing the Blofis family.

Conner spoke up first. "So you know another Conner?"

Jason nodded, adjusting his glasses as he did so. "Yeah."

More awkward silence.

"Why are you going to California?" Peter BLofis asked at last.

"Monthly reunion. Some of our friends live in California, so we take turns driving out. It's our turn this week." Piper explained.

Alyssa looked at her curiiously. "You're Tristen McLean's daughter, right?"

Piper nodded. Alyssa's eyes grew wide. Definitely a fangirl.

Mrs. Blofis' eyes also grew wide-for a different reason. "That man? I simply cannot believe that you let your stepson in this sort of compnay! Do you know what kinds of movies that-that-person has been in?" she screeched to Paul. "That girl is exactly like her father, I can see it in her eyes!"

Piper huffed. "I don't choose what my father does. Don't j judge a book by it's cover. I hate the paparazzi, thanks."

Jason nodded. "Same thing here. Don't mention my last name if you ever meet my sister, she and our mother? Yeah, didn't end well."

"Life of a movie star ain't pitch perfect alright." Leo's squeeky voice jumped in.

Mrs. Blofis sputtered as Leo Valdez started putting the doorknob back together. "Wha...?!"

"Don't worry, I've done this before. Also, you guys took wayyyyy too long. Callie's gone down to the cornrner shop so I came up."

I sighed. Jason facepalmed. Piper rolled her eyes skywards. Leo just grinned. "Oh cool, you didn't tell me you guys were meeting the family too! Hi, I'm Leo Valdez, the super-sized McSizzle, supreme commander of the Argo II, and bad boy supreme." he announced, sticking out a hand.

Peter Blofis looked nervous about shaking Leo's han, but did so out of politeness. "Er, pleased to meet you?"

"Paul..." Mrs. Blofis glared at Paul, who flinched and raised his hands in surrender.

"They're all from Percy's camp for dyslexic and ADHD kids." he explained.

Annabeth and my mom came out form my room with a medium-sized duffel. "What's taking Wil and Nico so long?" Annabeth asked.

"nico keeps trying to eat the cookies." WIll replied, hauling a protesting NIco with one hand and a box of cookies in the other. "SOmeone take the cookies? I need both hands."

Jason took the cookies. Nico pouted.

"Wow, he's worse then Kelp Head about them. They must be good." Piper observed.

"Yeah, well, let's get going before Callie comes back to a deserted car. Nice meeting everyone, bye Paul, love you Mom." I said, opening the door.

My mom stepped forward. "Hold up Percy."

I turned. "What?"

"Don't speak to your mother like that!" Laurie started to scold, but my mom hushed her.

"YOu have Mr. B's number, right?"

Annnabeth nodded and waved her phone.

"Will has his first aid suppies?"

"As always." Will smirked.

"and you promise you aren't going off to one of your "big events" or going to run into too much trouble?"

Me and my friends shrugged at that. "Hopefully not."

My mom smiled. "Then have fun, I expect you to not cause too much trouble."

"What counts as too much?" Leo asked. Jason punched him with his free hand.

"Nothing serious. preferably no blowing up school gyms, buses, or anything. Definitely no last-minute trips to the other side of the world, and try not to make certain step-parents too angry." Paul answered.

"Will try, ok, bye!" I waved, and me and my friend sheaded out the door.

As we left, I heard Mrs. Blofis ask, "What do you mean blowing up buses and schools?"

Annabeth poked me. "Good thing he didn't mention the volcano or how you've crashed your own funeral before."

"You what?" Jason stared at me.

I grinned. "I'll tell you on the way to Camp Jupiter."
