I am so, so, sorry guys! I know that I promised to update every two days but this week has been really hard. School totally sucked. I hated my first week, and my computer wouldn't work so I had to write most of this chapter on a notebook. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews you guys left me, I really appreciate it. Hope you all like the chapter and don't forget to leave me a review! (Seriously all of your reviews made up for my crappy day.)

The next half of the day was dedicated to all of the different career presentations. The Olympians had managed to get themselves out of that one with various excuses and lots of mist usage.

Overall the Gods thought that the mortals had some pretty boring jobs.

Who would want to be an electrician when you could just control lightning? Zeus thought while rolling his blue eyes.

The last presentation was Paul's. Thalia, Nico and of course Percy were up on the stage helping him. "…And so that's why being a teacher is the best job in the world!" Blowfish exclaimed, finishing his speech. Everyone clapped politely while the three Demigods that were on stage went and gathered around Paul.

Thalia gave him a hug, while the other two gave him hi-fives. Poseidon, Zeus and Hades watched on, sadly.

Lunch finally came for our favorite Love Goddess. The first half of the day had dragged on so slowly and she really wanted to go home. She sighed dramatically and turned to the rest of her family. They were all busy having a good time and talking with each other to notice her.

Even Ares wasn't there to keep her company; he had decided that it was more important to try out for the football team than it was to spend time with his girlfriend. That definitely didn't earn him bonus points in Aphrodite's book.

Sighing once again the Love Goddess laid her head down gently onto her hands. Hearing her sigh, Hermes turned to her curiously. "What's wrong Harmony?" He questioned, his mouth stuffed with food.

Aphrodite wrinkled her nose and stared at him, a disgusted expression on her pretty face. "Don't talk with your mouth full, it's disgusting." She reprimanded annoyed.

Great now she was sounding like Athena, or worse; Hera! Aphrodite shivered inwardly at that last thought.

Hermes rolled his blue eyes and turned away from her. Aphrodite once again put her head on her hands and looked up when she felt someone's stare on her. She slowly raised her eyes to meet the gray, cold, calculating ones of her half-sister, Athena.

"Hi sis." Aphrodite greeted dully. Her voice didn't carry its usual bubbly tone, Athena noticed.

"Hello Harmony." Athena replied while slowly picking at her salad. After a moment of thick silence, Athena knew that something was definitely up with the Love Goddess. Aphrodite could never stay quiet for longer than a minute. She was always ranting about love or thinking out loud about which couples needed to be matched up.

"What's wrong?" Athena questioned casually as she twirled a piece of lettuce with her fork. Aphrodite looked at her for a moment before answering, "Nothing…it's just that I'm kind of bored." She was somewhat whining by the end of her sentence, but she didn't really care.

Athena brought the fork to her lips and held Aphrodite's stare for a couple of seconds. "Okay so what do you want me to do about it?" She asked a little sarcastically.

Aphrodite didn't seem to notice this though. Before the Love Goddess could say anything else, Athena asked again, "Hey, why aren't you at cheerleader tryouts? I thought you'd be the first one over there. Or did you already go?"

"Cheerleader tryouts?...Why are they holding tryouts if it's already the end of the year?" Aphrodite asked Athena.

The Goddess of Wisdom shrugged and answered, "I don't really know but apparently big games are coming up and some of the old cheerleaders quit. So they're holding tryouts for new people to join." Athena told her. As soon as the words left her mouth Aphrodite ran past her, muttering a quick, thanks.

It was obvious to anyone with half a brain as to where the girl was headed. Athena thought as she chewed on her tasteless salad.

Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest and cereal nut walked out of Science class quickly. Class had been so tiring, and she was really craving some Cheerios. She really wasn't paying much attention as to where she was going, so she had to gasp when she felt someone collide with her.

The boy that she'd crashed into cursed under his breath and began to pick up the papers that were strewn all over the floor.

Demeter bit her lip and quickly bent down to help pick up the things. "I'm so sorry; I really wasn't paying attention to where I was going. I'm really, really sorry." She apologized as she handed the papers back to the boy. Even though his eyes were somewhat covered by his long bangs, there was no doubt in Demeter's mind as to who the boy was.

Only one other person would wear that much black and since the boy standing in front of her obviously wasn't Hades, it had to be none other than his spawn Nico di Angelo.

"It's okay April, I wasn't paying much attention to where I was going either." Nico said. His cheeks were tinted with a light pink color as he accepted the papers from her. Demeter was pleasantly surprised when he called her April. He had remembered her name, even though they hadn't really talked to each other. She gave him a small smile and then left to her next class.

The school bell rang; it was finally time to go home. Unfortunately for Poseidon he had to go to the library with Thalia to do some research for their project. He waited outside of the school with his brothers. The rest of the Olympians had already gone home.

They finally saw their children approaching.

"Hey Dylan, Salvatore, Thor." Thalia greeted her Father and Uncles.

"Hey." Nico said.

Percy just nodded at the three.

"Hi guys. Thalia, is it okay if these two come? They have to do some research too for some of their work." Poseidon asked Thalia, while pointing at Hades and Zeus.

Thalia nodded smiling, "Sure, Percy and Nico are going to go too." She said.

Then Thalia snapped her fingers, remembering something. "Oh crap, I left my laptop at home. Do you guys mind if we go get it?" She asked the 'Big Three.'

They shook their heads and then began to walk.

"So do you guys live far from here?" Zeus asked them.

"Not really." Percy answered quickly. Hades and Nico were talking about something that happened earlier that day. Poseidon's mind was racing with thoughts; he was going to see Sally! Would she recognize him? Oh Gods she probably would! He thought frantically. They were almost at the apartment when Nico asked something out of the blue. "Um hey is April single?" He asked the brothers shyly.

"April Windlest?" Zeus questioned eyes wide. Surely he couldn't be talking about Demeter could he? Zeus thought.

Nico nodded.

The 'Big Three's mouths dropped in absolute shock before Hades choked on his saliva and began to cough violently.

Poseidon stopped in his tracks and looked momentarily stunned before he began to laugh uncontrollably.

Zeus was just shaking his head and staring at the three Demigods with an amused expression. Nico by that time was blushing a bright cherry red.

"Why do you ask that?" Hades questioned sharply as they resumed their walk. Thalia was staring at Nico with eyebrows raised, and her electric eyes were a little colder than usual. Zeus didn't fail to notice this, and he groaned internally.

"Nico's just really curious and loves to ask stupid questions, sorry if he offended you by asking that…but are you going out with her?" Percy asked Hades slowly.

Nico turned to glare at his cousin and then turned back to Hades who had gone a green color in the face.

"Oh God no! Never, she's like a really annoying sister to me." He all but shrieked, his eyes were wide.

Poseidon and Zeus were rolling on the ground trying to control their laughter. Finally when they boys had calmed down they continued down the sidewalk.

"So, Nico, why did you ask that?" Poseidon questioned his nephew, with a small smirk.

"No reason." The boy quickly squeaked.

"Do you like her?" Thalia asked him, with her arms crossed.

"No! I was just wondering and being my natural curious self is all." Nico replied staring at Thalia. His cheeks were a little pink though and everybody noticed this.

Damn you Zeus! This idea of yours is going to be the death of me I swear! Hades ranted in his head.

"Sure you were." Percy drawled disbelieving.

"I'm being serious Perce." Nico replied rolling his eyes. A couple of minutes passed before the Son of Hades decided to open his big mouth again.

"But you know what? April reminds me a lot of my step-mom. Like seriously." He stated thoughtfully while he put his hands inside his pockets.

The 'Big Three' stopped dead in their tracks; they were all wearing fearful expressions.

Percy and Thalia shot their cousin a warning look, but after seeing that Nico was being serious Percy decided to answer.

"Per-Penelope?" Percy asked him quietly as the Gods watched on with bated breaths. If they figured it out, they were in deep trouble! They were all thinking. Thalia seemed deep in thought too, and she turned to stare at her cousins.

Nico nodded slowly, a hand on his chin. "Yeah." He replied. "April looks a lot like Penelope." He muttered under his breath.

The three Demigods shared a look; they didn't notice the Gods staring at them with worried expressions.

They finally arrived at the apartment and they all entered inside. It was nothing neither big nor fancy, but it felt like home. The Demigods put down their backpacks on the couch and began to walk in direction of the kitchen.

After looking at each other the Gods followed quickly. Poseidon was a nervous mess inside. He was going to see Sally!

"Hey Mom we're home!" Percy shouted as he opened the door.

"Oh and we brought some friends from school." Thalia added.

Sally's back was facing them, and she was cautiously taking out some cookies out of the oven.

"Hi kids." She greeted, still not facing them.

Percy waved a hand at the chairs, motioning for the Gods to sit down. Poseidon looked Pale as he stared at his mortal love's back.

Finally Sally turned to them, a plate of fresh baked cookies in her hands.

Once she saw Poseidon and his brothers the plate dropped to the floor. Sally's face turned white and then a bright pink. "Oh Gods." She muttered as she stared at Poseidon.

Dun, dun, dun! Anyway that little scene with Nico asking if April was single was completely innocent. So if any of you were freaking out about this turning into a Demeter/Nico thing rest assured, I could never bring myself to write that! I just put it in there because I thought it would be hilarious once they find out that the 'teens' are actually the Olympians in disguise. Please leave me a review with your thoughts about the chapter! I love the feedback I get! Have a good weekend everyone!
