Chapter 3

Thalia rolled her eyes. "He's only the most powerful demigod of the century, an awesome friend, and I don't know this personally but I hear he is an awesome boyfriend too."

"And he also has no memories besides Annabeth, which is the sweetest thing I have EVER heard!" Katie added.

"Praetor, permission to speak?" The Asian boy asked Reyna. She nodded.

The boy turned to the rest of the crowd.

"Hi, I'm Frank Zhang, Centurion of the Fifth Cohort. I was on the quest with Percy and Hazel," Here, Frank paused. "And he now has all of his memories, he found his brother, and a hellhound too."

All of the Greeks yelled. No one was silent. Percy remembered! He might know them! He might be OK, and that was all that mattered. In the midst of the chaos, Travis yelled "HOW? Jason STILL doesn't have all of his!"

In two different corners, golden light was glowing. No one noticed, seeing as they were all yelling.

Frank shrugged, and rubbed the back of his neck. "I might have helped him make a bet with Gorgons blood, and it might have been with life or death stakes, winner - take - a - harpy that knows the future, of a location of a giant's lair..."

Everyone stopped cheering and stared at him.

"What, you don't believe him?" The golden eyed girl asked.

Conner shook his head. "We believe you all right, but it's so – so…"

"PERCY!" His brother yelled. Annabeth face palmed.

"So, how many times did he almost die again?" She asked.

"Well..."

"WHAT DID HE DO!"

Frank cringed.

"He might have fought an entire Legion of shades, and he might have destroyed Hubbard Glacier, and he also might have killed Polybotes..."

No one spoke while Annabeth tried not to kill every one.

"Well , that's a busy week, even for Percy!" A voice came from the right corner.

Rachel Elisabeth Dare, The Oracle of Delphi, was standing there wearing a gold mini dress, pink heels, and holding a Coke and a iPhone.

"Rachel!" Annabeth yelled. She ran over and hugged her friend.

"How did you get here?"

Rachel shrugged.

"Apollo called me, said he and Hermes had played a funny prank, and when I heard what had happened I was getting ready for my dad's dinner party with the President, and I was all like -"

Here she took a swing of Coke and sprayed it with her eyes wide open.

"Then I was like, YOU IDIOT! My visions said they'd meet at the Roman Camp, and we got in a fight, and then he sent me here and hung up on me!"

The Greeks laughed. The Romans looked confused.

Leo had another question. "The President? Of the USA?"

"No, of MORONS!"

"Ouch..."

Then another, VERY familiar snort sounded from the corner of the room. A pure black Pegasus was standing there, along with a beautiful bronze colored horse.

Annabeth yelled "Blackjack!" At the same time the golden eyed girl cried, "Arion!"

Annabeth ran to Blackjack and petted him.

"Guys, NONE of us have introduced ourselves!" Frank said.

The girl sighed and said, " I'm Hazel Levesque, Daughter of Pluto. I was born in the 1940's" Hazel said.

"Then how -" began Leo.

"Later!" Frank said. The Greeks all looked confused, but then Piper stepped forward .

"Hey, let's all calm down , seat ourselves - Oops, no bumping each other, were all friends here, all right now – SNAP OUT OF IT!"

Everyone had fallen under her spell. Everyone had walked to the sofas, and sat down, while the gods looked on.

"Wha – what was THAT?" Reyna asked, dazed.

Piper laughed. It sounded like fairy bells.

"Hi, I'm Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite, Charm speaker."

"Oh!"

Clarisse stood up. "Clarisse la Rue, Head Counselor for Ares."

Frank looked weird. He was turning a little green.

"What?" Hazel asked him.

Frank gestured to Clarisse. "She's my half sister!"

Clarisse burst out laughing. "Well, good to meet you dude, but if you ever try to fight me I'll kick your rear to Tartarus!"

There were a few snickers, and Annabeth smirked. "The only person who can beat la Rue is The Hero of Olympus, and it's a pretty close call!"

Clarisse snorted. "And you're the only one who can beat Prissy, he never wants to hurt you, it's hilarious!"

Annabeth turned pink, and laughter broke out.

The rest of the Greeks went forward and introduced themselves, and then the rest of the Romans.

Pollux was happy to meet Dakota, and the rest of the Greeks liked their new siblings for the most part.

Then Rachel said, "I'm Rachel Elisabeth Dare, Oracle of Delphi!"

Octavian stood up. "And I"M Octavian, the Augur of the Twelfth Legion!"

Rachel smiled at him. "Nice to meet you, sit down, your taking up space!"

Frank and Hazel snickered. The Romans had really relaxed now.

"So, we're stuck here for the next 16 years, what are we going to do?" Travis asked.

Leo jumped up, yelled "PARTY!" and started break dancing. Will Solace jumped up and started too.

"GO, GO, GO!" The Greeks yelled. Leo and Will were having a dance off, and Leo was winning until-

"ENOUGH!" Zeus thundered. "What! It's funny! They BOTH can't dance!" Travis said.

The King of the Gods ignored him.

"We want to know about the missing demigod!"

The rest of the gods nodded.

Annabeth sighed as the rest of the demigods parted, making a pathway to her.

"What do you want to know?" She said, sitting down. Her friends sat too, and the Romans followed.

"We want to know why he is the Hero of Olympus, and which of us like him." Athena stated.

"OK, so Mom, you are impressed by him, but dislike him because we are dating. Zeus doesn't like him for being Lord Poseidon son, Hera, he probably hates the future you right now, but you like him well enough. Lady Hestia, you and him are really good friends; he considers you his aunt (which you are). Lady Aphrodite, you absolutely adore him, Lord Hephaestus, you like him, Ares, you hate his guts because he beat you in a duel when he was 12…"

The Romans gasped when she said this.

"Hades, you're OK with him at the moment, but that might change, don't get on his bad side. Lady Artemis, YOU actually admire him, he saved you and I when he was 14, from Atlas. Apollo, you and him are cool, he thinks you're awesome; Lord Poseidon, you and your son have a wonderful relationship, and no one like Dionysus, I'm not even going there."

There was mixed reactions to her little speech.

Athena raised her eyebrows, Zeus looked put out, Poseidon smiled, Hera looked crestfallen, Ares looked like he was going to kill something, Hephaestus plainly didn't look interested, and was making a car battery, Aphrodite was grinning and wondering if Percy was cute, Hestia looked happy, and Dionysus was asleep.

After a slight pause, Zeus said, "And what has he done?"

Camp Half -Blood laughed.

"Well, only about kicked Kronos' butt," Travis said mock-thoughtfully.

"What?" Poseidon asked, looking worried, while the rest of the gods looked like their eyes were going to pop and their jaws falling off.

Annabeth glared at Travis while Thalia said, "How much time do you have?"

"Well, about 16 years..." Apollo said cheekily, winking at Thalia, who stiffened and glared back.

"Well…' Annabeth said.

~ Two Hours Later ~

"And that's about it!" Annabeth finished.

"I have GOT to MEET this dude!" Leo shouted.

Annabeth grinned. But it was getting late, and they were all tired. She could tell by the yawns and how everyone was slumping.

Athena noticed too, and said " If you're going to live here for quite some years, I will design you all rooms in the Eastern part of the hall, but for now…" She looked at her father. Zeus clapped his hands, and tons of mattress, pillows, blankets, and fresh clothes appeared.

As the gods were leaving, Apollo muttered, "Someone wake up the drunk, he won't want to be here."

Poseidon waved his hand, and a bucket of water appeared, and dumped itself on Dionysus.

The wine god, started, got up, and left without a word.

"Bathrooms are down the hall!" Artemis said, then she flashed out. Thalia looked like she wanted to go with her.

Then everyone looked at each other.

Then the boys yelled, "PILLOW FIGHT!"

So normally, if you are being hit with a pillow, you will fight back. Even Octavian and Rachel joined in, even though Rachel was in a mini dress - she'd taken off the heels FOREVER ago.

So after the girls had finished creaming the boys, they all spread out mattresses, and changed, and lay down.

People (aka. The Romans) kept coming over to Annabeth and asking questions about Percy.

Like, Had he really defeated the minotaur twice? Did he really fight Kronos? Had he really held up the sky?

"I'm TIRED guys! We have YEARS to talk about it, to think about him, and to NOT find him, so SHUT UP!" She was near tears as she finished.

It finally took Piper's Charm speak to get everyone to sleep. She actually threatened the Stolls with her knife, and they were out like AA shot, so that was one less to worry about.

All she wanted was Percy. She wanted him to be there, cracking jokes, hugging her, laughing, being stupid in that oh-so-hot way of his. She wanted him back. She fell asleep crying, her back to the circle of demigods.

They were awakened in the middle of the night by a roar, a shout, and the plumbing exploding.
