Special shout out to Moe Simpson for being my 200th reviewer!

Disclaimer: I do not and will never own Percy Jackson and the Olympians!

Hermes entered the Detention room reluctantly. How would he explain all of this to Hera when she realized that he wasn't going to come home straight after school? She would get all 'motherly' and start to nag (much like Athena) and he didn't really want to go through that.

The only good thing he could see from all of this was the fact that Apollo was going to have to go through the same thing.

"Did you tell anyone that we got detention?" Apollo asked him as they took a seat.

"Nuh uh, but I think Uncle P knew, anyway it doesn't matter 'cuz he's going to be here too." Hermes answered.

"Yeah I know Ares and Aphrodite are too, they told us on Monday remember?" Apollo whispered. The teacher who had previously been reading a novel, looked up and gave them a glare, "No talking allowed!"

"Okay, okay…." Apollo pouted.

At that same moment a figure slowly made her way through the door. Hermes' jaw hit the floor and all Apollo could do was sputter disbelievingly "A-At-Alina?"

How in Hades did Miss Goodie-two-shoes end up in detention?

The Goddess of Wisdom gave them the most hateful glare she could muster before going to sit on one of the nearby desks. Athena quickly took out a huge book and lost herself in its pages.

"Well at least we won't be getting a lecture from her; I wonder what Dad's going to say once he finds out his precious, responsible daughter landed in detention." Hermes snickered, but quickly shut up when the teacher stared at him.

"Oh look here's Dylan." Apollo muttered. He waved at his Uncle who grinned back.

"Hey Angel, Arun." Poseidon whispered as he put down his backpack on the chair. The three looked back at the door when they heard footsteps approaching.

Hades swaggered in, and after giving a sneer to the teacher he went and took a seat next to them. "Uncle?" Apollo and Hermes whispered amazed, oh this just kept getting better and better.

"Hades, what are you doing here?" Poseidon asked his brother.

"I corrected the teacher, twice, and she considered it 'talking back' so she gave me detention." Hades drawled casually as he leaned back on the chair.

Poseidon snorted but whatever comment he was about to make was cut short by the sound of someone giggling.

Aphrodite and Ares entered the class and after seeing everyone, they went and took a seat near them.

"Hi guys, Uncles." She said in a bubbly voice. Ares just grunted his hellos.

"'Sup Harmony." Hermes said with a wink.

"That little group over there-separate! No talking allowed, now take out something to do and work on it!" The teacher yelled finally fed up with all the chit chat.

To the surprise of everyone, at that same moment Hera walked in, Zeus trailing awkwardly behind her.

Hera, once she noticed that her family was gathered there, blushed a cherry red and closed her eyes tiredly.

The Olympians in the room couldn't believe it, even Athena looked up from her book a shocked expression on her face. "H-Arabella? Thor?"

Zeus took his wife's hand and guided her to where the Gods were all sitting.

"Hera, Zeus? My, my, this is a surprise." Hades said chuckling.

"Oh shut up, Hades." Hera snapped as she dug through her book bag for something to occupy herself with.

The sound of the door opening once again caught the attention of the Gods and they all turned back to see an annoyed Moon Goddess walk into the room.

"Luna?" Apollo questioned confusedly, as his twin took a seat next to him.

"Hello." Artemis greeted her family in a dull voice.

"Why are you here?" Poseidon asked his niece, eyebrows furrowed.

"The boy that I punched informed the principal and I got in trouble." She answered flatly. Without another word, she following her half-sister's example, brought out a book and immersed herself in it.

"Wow, who else is going to end up here?" Hermes whisper asked to no-one in particular.

The Gods shrugged before Zeus asked, "What I would like to know is how you two ended up getting detention."He commented as he stared at Apollo and Hermes.

The brothers shared a look and a sheepish smile before they turned to their Father.

"We kinda got dared to do something, and they caught us on the school cameras." Hermes began slowly.

"Yeah, but because it was our first offence, they let us off with a detention." Apollo finished happily.

"How many times do I have to tell you kids to be quiet?" The teacher yelled angrily. He gave them all a glare and turned to look at the clock that hung on the wall.

The door opened once again and everybody turned to see the Goddess of the Harvest herself enter in quickly. Without as much as a glance to the teacher she grabbed a chair from nearby and plopped herself next to Poseidon.

"Aunt Demeter? What are you doing here?" Aphrodite asked gasping.

Everyone turned to a flustered Demeter, yes even Athena. Before she could explain as to why she was in Detention Ares whispered, "Wow, we just need that old blacksmith dude, and the party's complete!"

"Shut up Ares, I want to know why our Aunt is here." Athena hissed.

"As do I." Zeus and Hades agreed. Demeter's shoulders slumped and she quickly whispered out "I might've been force feeding cereal to some kids this morning." She said innocently.

Ares, Apollo and Hermes laughed under their breaths and Hades just rolled his eyes. The teacher looked up and sighed tiredly, and then he went back to his novel.

"Athena dear what are you doing here?" Demeter asked her favorite niece in shock.

"Fish Face over there was texting me during class and we got caught." She quickly whispered to her.

"Oh." Demeter said nodding, after everyone else explained the reasons as to why they ended up getting Detention they all stayed quiet for a couple of seconds.

The teacher took this moment to take role-call and as he was about to call the last names, three teens burst through the door. Nico, Thalia, and Percy all quickly went to the teacher's desk and waited patiently.

"Jackson, that corner. Grace, take that one. Di Angelo you're over there." He barked out, pointing to different locations around the room.

Thalia glared and hissed "Thalia." While her cousins just muttered "Yeah, yeah we already know." The teacher put down his novel, looked at the clock and then said "I'll be back in five minutes, I have to go use the restroom." Then he all but ran out of the room.

The cousins quickly jumped up from their designated places on the wall and grabbed some chairs and huddled together. The Gods just watched on silently, the Demigods hadn't seemed to notice them yet. The Olympians wondered why the teens were acing like that. The teacher had said that he would be back in five minutes, and when he found them away from their corners they would surely get in trouble.

Percy leaned back on his chair and propped his feet up on the desk, his cousins followed his example. When the teens finally noticed the too quiet Gods they were surprised to say the least. "Oh, hi what are you guys dong here?" Thalia asked amusedly.

It took a little bit of time to tell them why they were there but once they were done they all began to talk with each other. After a couple of minutes Percy suddenly gasped out an "Oh Crap."

Thalia turned to him lazily, "What's up Perce?" Percy ignored her instead he turned to Nico.

"Hey Nico can I borrow your cell? I left mines at my locker." Nico nodded and passed him the cell phone.

"Who you gonna call Percy, Annabeth?" Nico asked with an eyebrow raised and a smile on his lips.

Percy blushed lightly as Athena groaned.

"No." The Son of Poseidon replied quickly.

Thalia sighed and then said, "Let me guess you forgot to tell Sally that we had Detention today huh?" She asked him smirking lightly and shaking her head. Percy one hand on the phone nodded sheepishly. The Gods stayed quiet and Percy decided to put it on speaker phone.

"Hello?" Sally answered. Poseidon stiffened and he swallowed a lump that came to his throat. Percy and the others were oblivious to this.

"Uh hey Mom..." Percy began awkwardly.

"Percy? Why aren't you home yet? Are Nico and Thalia there with you?" Her tone took that of a worried mother, and the Goddesses couldn't help but smile. Sally really was a great woman.

"Yeah Aunt Sally we're right here with Perce." Nico spoke into the phone.

"Oh okay, where are you guys?" Sally asked them.

"Oh um we're kind of in Detention." Percy answered slowly.

"Oh Percy, Nico, Thalia what did you three do this time?" She asked exasperated but everyone could hear the underlying tone of amusement in her voice.

"Nothing, Paul's sub from yesterday was really mean and well he gave the three of us Detention." Percy explained

"Alright, as soon as you're out I want you to come straight home. I made chocolate chip cookies." At this all of the males licked their lips thinking of the chocolaty treats.

"Ooh yes!" Nico said pumping his fist. Thalia shook her head at his childish antics.

"Kay Mom," Percy answered.

"Bye Aunt Sally." Thalia and Nico said simultaneously.

"Bye kids." With that, Percy snapped the phone shut and handed it back to Nico.

"So uh why aren't you all worried that the teacher might come in any second and catch you guys like that?" Apollo asked them.

Thalia snorted and quickly said "Don't worry, whenever Mr. Brown says he's going to take a bathroom brake he actually goes to the teacher's lounge and stays there for like half an hour watching re-runs of some soap operas."

Hades chuckled as did Poseidon. "So the girl you just called, that was your Mom?" Hermes asked them curiously. "Uh huh." Percy replied distractedly.

The three Demigods walked out of the Detention room quickly. They had already said their goodbyes to the Gods and they walked down the empty halls chatting idly.

The Olympians walked behind them though at a slower pace. As usual Poseidon Zeus and Hades were at the front and they kept their ears cocked for any comments that their children might make.

Thalia suddenly turned to her cousins. "Man I wish we didn't have to come to school tomorrow. It's going to suck!" She groaned as she fiddled with a piece of her raven hair.

Nico nodded empathetically, a frown on his face, but Percy just looked confused.

"Wait what's tomorrow?" He asked both of them, his sea green eyes looking confused.

Thalia stared at him disbelievingly while Nico shook his head sadly. "You seriously don't know what tomorrow is Percy?" Nico asked him.

"Um Thursday?" Percy answered slowly.

"No Kelp Head tomorrow's career day." Thalia said exasperatedly.

"For Dad's only since they did Mom's last year and it didn't work out so well." Nico added.

Percy grabbed both of their arms and stopped walking. The Olympians stopped in their tracks and hid behind a wall. They all watched as the Demigods talked.

Hermes suddenly asked "Hey isn't this considered like stalking? Don't you think it's a bit weird that you're spying on your sons and my sister?" He asked his Uncles and Father.

Surprisingly it wasn't only Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades who shushed him but the other Olympians as well. They really wanted to know what the cousins were talking about. They all turned back to the teens.

"What's the big deal if you guys don't want to do it then why don't we just ditch and go catch a movie?" Percy asked them in a 'Duh!' voice.

Athena muffled an outraged gasp at the suggestion of skipping school, while her family rolled their eyes at her reaction.

"Because, stupid, this is going to count for ten percent of our grade in all classes." Thalia told him, rolling her electric blue eyes. She began to walk in direction of a low wall that was part of a fence and when she reached it she sat down on it. Her cousins both joined her and the Olympians moved closer, making sure to stay hidden.

"I still don't see the problem; Paul can do all of our presentations. I mean you live with me, you share my room, you call my Mom, Mom, heck I don't consider you my cousins anymore." Percy ranted, at this both Thalia and Nico looked at him in surprise and shock.

Percy grinned and said "You're more like my brother and sister now." Thalia gave a smile and Nico chuckled.

The Goddesses all cooed an "Aww he's so sweet." And Zeus and Hades looked at Poseidon in surprise. Who knew that Poseidon could make such a humble and kind son? Eh Percy probably got that all from Sally, Hades and Zeus deducted.

"Thanks Perce, I guess you're right…It's just that sometimes… Sometimes I wish that our Dad's were mortal." Thalia looked around to make sure that no one was within hearing range.

She looked at Percy and Nico and then continued, "Maybe then they would act like the parent figures we need them to be. I mean it's great that you have Paul and everything but I've always wondered what it would've been like if we grew up knowing our Fathers. Having them take us to school, and be there for things like Career Day. Would that have helped anything? I always ask myself that. Would Luke not have turned to the dark side if Hermes would've actually visited him? Would I not have been turned into a damn pine tree if my Dad cared for me, helped me? And I know what you're going to say 'but he preserved your soul in the tree' but the fact is I was still a tree for five freaking years!" Thalia exclaimed a bit angrily.

The boys looked at her lost for words, and the Gods were too. Hermes and Zeus looked pained and the others were wearing sad expressions. Thalia looked down for a moment and then a heavy sigh escaped her lips. She continued, "Do you guys have any idea that back then I used to wish I could talk to my Dad? I was always a little jealous of you Percy, Uncle Poseidon always seemed to care for you. Heck, even Uncle Hades cares for Death Boy over here, more than Zeus does for me. Remember when we went to Olympus after we saved Artemis? Your Dad looked so proud of you, and when everyone voted to kill you he vouched for you. And I had to join the Hunters because it was obvious that Zeus would not have had stood up for me the way your Dad did for you." She finished her speech slightly out of breath and a silver tear slowly made its way down her cheek.

She wiped it away quickly, looking annoyed.

Both boys were shocked, Thalia never cried. Ever.

Finally Nico scooted closer to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Thals." He murmured gently. She let out sigh and put her head on his shoulder, wiping her eyes.

Percy moved closer and put his arm around her shoulders. Percy looked down at her, sure she might be older but after all that they had been trough he considered her like a little sister. "Hey, it's okay. Do you think that I've never felt like that? Thalia we've all wished to talk to our parents, to have them be there for us as we grow up. How do you think I felt when after returning the Master Bolt to your Dad, my Dad called me a wrongdoing? A mistake. That hurt Thals, but we all go through that every day. And in their own crazy way our Fathers care for us, I'm sure of it."

The Goddesses were all sniffling and Aphrodite, Demeter and Hera were glaring at the God of the Seas. The three stayed like that and it suddenly began to drizzle, the Gods knew that Zeus's mood was causing this.

Finally Thalia gave a watery smile and hugged both boys, "I don't know what I would freaking do without you guys." The three stood up and the last thing that was heard from Percy was "Come on guys, let's go home. Mom's probably worried about us." The Gods stayed quiet for a moment not caring if they got wet.

They all had the same though running through their minds.

Do all Demigods feel like that?

Review please, so I can post the next chapter soon!
