Hi! May I present to you chapter eight, hope you guys like it! Tell me what you think about it in a review, I love the feedback I get!

I don't own Percy Jackson!

Ares left the showers feeling pumped. His team had just beaten the other team at football and it was all basically thanks to him. He was just awesome like that. But now he was on his way to pick up Aphrodite from class so that they could then head to English together.

As Ares searched through the throng of people that had amassed themselves in the hall he found his lovely girlfriend talking with a guy. Ares narrowed his eyes and walked over to where they were standing.

Aphrodite turned when he heard him approach and ran into his arms, hugging him tightly. "Hi." She breathed into his neck.

"Hey, missed me?" He asked her. She stepped out of his arms and nodded, that's when he noticed that her eyes were a cold shade of blue. A sign that she was either really mad, or annoyed.

The boy that had been talking with Aphrodite approached them."Yes?" Punk. Ares asked him. The other male ignored him instead he turned to Aphrodite with a half pitying/half amused expression.

"So this is your boyfriend? I still think you can do much better." He didn't even give an angry and shocked Ares a chance to reply instead he turned on his heel and left.

"Wha-who-why? Who the Hades is he?" Ares seethed finally able to form a sentence.

Aphrodite's blue eyes turned to him. "His name is Andrew, and he was in my class just now. He asked me out and I told him that I already had a boyfriend. And well, like you just heard, he told me I could do much better."

"I'm going to kill that little punk." Said Ares, already beginning to walk in the direction that this so called Andrew had left.

"No you won't. Remember what Daddy said about keeping our covers. Just calm down you know that I love you and only you. He's a nobody." Aphrodite told him sweetly.

Ares smirked and hugged her waist; she leaned her body into his and smashed her lips roughly against his.

As luck would have it, the vice principal was walking down that same hall at that very moment. When she saw two of her students engaging in disgusting acts she immediately barked out "You two, separate! No PDA! Detention to the both of you, to be served on Wednesday afternoon. Report to room 213!" With that and a cold look to both students she stalked off.

They were both too shocked and angry to even bother asking what this 'detention' thing was.

"You know so far this school thing isn't going well." Aphrodite muttered while pouting.

Hephaestus was currently making a birdhouse in woodshop class. It was the closest thing that the school had to a class where one could make something. Apart from the arts and crafts class room of course but that wasn't really Hephaestus' thing.

He hummed slightly as his skilled fingers began to sand the wood. In the hour that he had been here he had already completed his birdhouse project, it only needed to be painted.

The other mortal students hadn't even begun to cut the pieces out of the sheets of wood. Hephaestus had to admit that he was somewhat enjoying this. Oh sure it might not be the metal and fire that he was accustomed to but it was close enough. And that all that mattered.

"Oh Gods my feet are killing me." Artemis complained as she began to take off the death traps that she'd been forced to wear all day.

"Don't be such a baby Artemis, beauty hurts you know." Aphrodite said as she sat down on the love seat.

Instead of answering her half-sister, Artemis closed her eyes and leaned back on the couch tiredly. She opened them once she felt a presence next to her.

It was only Uncle Poseidon and as he leaned back he asked loudly "Zeus did you already order the pizzas?"

Her Father came out of the kitchen a sleek cell phone in his hand. "Already did, they should be here in thirty minutes." He informed as he took a seat on the recliner.

Demeter walked out from a room wearing a mildly annoyed expression. "I don't se why you had to go and order a greasy pizza when I am perfectly able of making something healthy right here." She groused as she took a seat on the rug, near Poseidon's legs. She grabbed the remote from Aphrodite and changed it to the cooking channel.

Hera came out of the kitchen and sat on the arm rest of her husband's chair, "I agree. Mortal food is so disgusting and greasy, it makes you fat." She said, as she wrinkled her nose.

"Nuh uh, mortal food is delicious. It's so yummy and crispy and full of flavor." Hermes argued as he sat on the fluffy white rug.

"Yeah and besides if we eat it and get fat we could just change our forms, we are Gods you know." Apollo said in an all-knowing voice as he took a seat near Hermes.

"Exactly… you know what? I've never understood why Dionysus doesn't change his form into something more appealing." Hermes wondered.

"Maybe he just likes looking like an old drunk hobo." Apollo answered matter-of-factly as he shrugged his shoulders. Aphrodite giggled and Poseidon smiled slowly.

Zeus turned to his sons, nose flaring angrily. "Do not talk about your brother when he's not here to defend himself." He thundered.

Hermes and Apollo didn't get a chance to reply because at that moment the doorbell rang.

Hades walked out from his room and headed to open the door. "The pizza is here!" He yelled.

"Well that was fast." Zeus commented as he began to rise.

After a minute he came back to the living room with five pizza boxes in his hands. He had barely set them down when Hermes and Apollo bean to fight for the first piece.

"Ares, Athena, Hephaestus! Food's here." Zeus called. The three came out from where they were and each grabbed a slice.

"Why pizza?" Athena asked her Father confusedly. "Well, it's our first night here at our new apartments, and we did manage to survive the first day of school, I thought that celebrating with pizza seemed appropriate." Zeus said as he took his first bite.

The others shrugged and began to eat also. Hera and Demeter watched on with disgusted expressions as they all ate, yes that includes Hades.

"Hey Uncle I didn't know you liked pizza." Artemis commented as she nibbled on her slice of cheese pizza.

"Eh, Nico got me hooked on it; Persephone doesn't like it though she says it makes you fat." Hades answered shrugging.

When everyone had finished eating, Athena asked everyone bossily "Did all of you already finish the homework we were assigned?"

Eight pairs of blank eyes stared at her. "Wait we were supposed to do the 'homework' thing they assigned? I thought that was just random papers, I threw them away." Aphrodite said as she filed her nails.

"Aphrodite," Athena sighed tiredly. "Yes you were supposed to do that homework, it's meant to be turned in tomorrow." Athena told her.

Aphrodite just rolled her eyes, uncaring.

"Wait so you're telling me, that all of those papers I received that my teacher told me were homework, I have to do them?" By the end of his little speech Apollo was practically yelling.

"Yes Apollo I believe I just explained that."

"What about you Athena have you finished your homework?" Poseidon asked her with eyebrows raised.

"Of course I did." Athena shot back in a haughty voice.

"So Athena dear, since you already did all your work, is there any way that you could maybe do my homework for me?" Zeus asked his daughter hopefully.

"No, you're each supposed to do your own work, or else that would be cheating." Athena scoffed.

Everyone looked crest fallen, everyone except Poseidon and Hades.

Athena wondered why they didn't look worried or annoyed like the rest of the family. She shrugged inwardly; perhaps they didn't care, she then turned back to the others.

"Okay, who still has to do their work?" She asked them trying to be patient.

Everyone raised a hand, except Hera, Poseidon and Hades. Hera cleared her throat and said "I'm almost done with all of mine." The Olympians all raised their eyebrows in surprise.

"Good, now Poseidon and Uncle Hades did you do the work or not?" She questioned them.

"Don't sound so skeptical, niece, I already finished all of my work." Hades drawled. Everyone looked at him now. "What, I am actually responsible you know." Hades said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay, good. Now Fish Face have you finished all of your work?" Poseidon turned to her and nodded.

"Really?" She asked disbelieving. Most of the others were wearing similar expressions. "Yes really, if it told Percy that he had to be more responsible with school work then I'm not going to go and be a hypocrite. I'm already done with all the assignments." Poseidon said casually.

"Wow." Aphrodite muttered in surprise and she wasn't the only one.

"Fine, everyone get you homework and start working on it now. If you need help I'll be right here." Athena said.

Everyone slumped over to the backpacks and book bags they had been carrying during the day and began to take out papers and textbooks.

The rest of the night passed slowly for the Olympians. They had never had to do work quite like this: math problems, maps, reading textbooks and answering questions. And that's how the rest of the evening and most of the night was spent.

When everyone had finally finished all of their work (yes as shocking as it may be that includes Ares too) they stayed watching some bad sitcoms on the plasma.

Athena had managed to put together some of the homework that Aphrodite had thrown away, tomorrow the Love Goddess would have to really use her charm to get out of trouble. As everyone was lounging around and watching T.V., Ares asked a question out of the blue. "Hey 'Thena what's detention?"

Athena turned to him, surprised. "Why… Did you get detention Ares? And on your first day too?" Athena asked him, her voice level rising.

Ares nodded sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Aphrodite and I were kissing in the hall and this mean ass teacher came and told us to stop with the PDA and that we had detention Wednesday afternoon." Ares said.

Hera narrowed her eyes and screeched "Ares language!"

"So what's detention O-Wise-One?" Asked Hermes casually as he changed the channels.

Athena sighed and then recited as though she was reading from a dictionary "Detention is when you get in trouble for doing something inappropriate on school premises. Usually it involves dress codes, talking back, late homework, lying, cheating, etcetera. Detention is usually served during lunch hours or in the afternoon. The purpose detention serves is to discourage students from acting out." She said all of that in one breath.

"Holy Apollo, so you're saying that they won't feed you during lunch detention? That's horrible!" Apollo gasped dramatically.

Everyone ignored him.

"Well as interesting as this little family bonding time has been, I believe it is time for all of us to go to bed." Hades drawled. He got up from the couch and stretched. He nodded his good-nights to everyone and then left to his room.

"Good night everyone." Hephaestus said gruffly as he too went in direction of his room.

"Bye, Arty, 'Thena, Hera, Auntie Demeter, and Aphrodite!" Apollo shouted in a little kiddy voice as he waved at the Goddesses. After the girls had all left to their apartment (which was right across the halls from theirs) Poseidon stood up and waved good bye to his brother and nephews, and then he let to his room.

"Good night Father." Apollo and Hermes said simultaneously as they left to the room they shared. "Good night Apollo, Hermes." Zeus said as he stood up and after giving a pat to Ares he too retired for the night.

Review, please!
