The Seven Childhood Oneshots

Wow, how quickly time has passed! This is the last chap of the story and I'm really sorry to you who wanted me to do Nico, Will, and Reyna. I have a lot of stuff on my hands with the end of school and stuff, and I also made a promise that I would only write one story at a time and I already broke that promise! But I have some great ideas for other stories, so feel free to check them out. Please still review even though it is over. That would be very dear to my heart!

lol;)

Thanks for reviewing: Guest, owl huntress, ThunderWolf7226, and Psyche Castle.

Anyways, I would like to present to you the last chapter in the Seven Childhood Oneshots series, *tear*, as I saved the best for last,

Percy!

Sally Jackson tried to provide for her son.

Every day, the only thing that would make 4-year old Percy Jackson happy was when Sally would read for him at night. With Gabe out at the bar playing poker and drinking with his friends, it was the only place Percy could get any calm. In the morning, Gabe woke Percy up at 5 for no apparent reason and during the day, he would have to spend the day at Sweet on America in Grand Central with his mom. When they got home, Gabe insisted on the seven-layer bean dip. Sally waited on Gabe and his poker friends while Percy sat in his room dazed, until his mother came in and started to drone the sound of his abusive stepfather and his jerk friends out.

Percy's mother would come in and read him a story. He didn't generally enjoy reading, but when his mother read, he was in a different world. He could be in the world of wizards, or children trying to find their home. But what he most enjoyed was the Greek mythology books. They lightened his spirits, like he could be there too.

He was obsessed with the story of Perseus.

"That's my name!" he would say with glee. "Why does he have my name?"

Sally said, "I named you Perseus because Perseus, the son of Zeus, died peacefully. He had a great deal of luck."

One day he came across a story about Poseidon. The story was when Medusa and Poseidon were in Athena's temple and Athena cursed Medusa and her sisters.

"That wasn't nice!" Percy complained.

"Well," Sally said with a sour look, "Athena never liked Poseidon." Percy took a closer look at the picture. All he could recognize was green eyes.

"Percy, honey?" His mother asked. "What's wrong?" Percy realized he was scowling.

"I don't think that's what he looked like." He turned to another page. And on that page was a picture of a much calmer-looking Poseidon.

That's what I remember, Percy thought.

"He looks like me!" he giggled.

"And that's why my favorite stories are about him." Sally smiled and then kissed him on the cheek. "Sweet dreams."

Finally, she made a three-fingered gesture over her heart and then pushed it out, like she did every night.

And Percy did have sweet dreams. Sweet dreams about sea green eyes.

Well, I hope you liked this. I have a few other stories, and I just posted a Young Justice-Percy Jackson Crossover called Alliance: Young Justice, so feel free to read and review! Please also still review on this story even though you won't be recognized.

Thanks for being generous!
