I might include those one-shots I did of Percy's 'no boys' rules- I know I wrote them and this might sound fatheaded, but I love those :D What'd you guys think? Add them or not?

Startled yells split the summery silence of the Camp and Charlie Valdez could be seen running for his life from the Athena cabin. His cousin, Sage Jackson, was hot on his heels, yelling Ancient Greek obscenities at him.

"I said I was sorry!" He shouted over his shoulder.

"You burnt my book!"

"It was an accident!" Sage put on an extra burst of speed and caught up with him in seconds. She was a lot taller than her cousin and could easily outdistance him when she put her mind to it. Besides, he was only eight and had burnt her book.

She tackled him and they both went sprawling, tumbling across the grass. Sage had him pinned down beneath her with her hands at his throat as they stopped rolling. She got a few harsh shakes in, but didn't get to insult him further as warm hands closed around her upper arms and pulled her back. She broke free instantly, but whoever it was wrapped their arms around her middle and easily lifted her clear off the ground.

"Sage, stop it!" Percy ordered, trying not to laugh or get hit by his struggling daughter. His sister had appeared and pulled Charlie to his feet. Charlie was such a mama's boy sometimes, but that was understandable- Louisa did favour her son more than her two daughters, even though she wouldn't admit it.

"He burnt my book!" Sage protested angrily.

"Sage!" That was her mother. "Sage!" Annabeth grabbed her daughter's wrists as Percy set her down, keeping a firm grip on his daughter's shoulders. "Calm down."

"But-!"

"I know he burnt your book, but you know what he's like controlling his fire." Annabeth reasoned. "We'll get you a new copy, it's fine."

"It's not fine!" Sage argued, stomping her foot angrily and glaring at her cousin. "I saved up for ages and it was the first book I bought for myself and he's burnt it."

"I'm sorry!" Charlie squeaked, hidden safely behind his mother. He looked up at her pleadingly with his matching sea green eyes. "It was an accident, I swear!" Louisa smiled reassuringly, brushing the curls from his forehead.

"He'll get you a new one." Leo's voice promised. Sage whirled around defiantly and glared at her uncle. He held his hands up instantly- she was as scary as her mother and Leo had quickly learnt not to get on either of their nerves.

Leo looked at his son, not moving out of Sage's direct line of vision. "You'll get her a new one, won't you, Charlie?" Charlie nodded eagerly, cracking a lopsided smile.

"What's it called?" He asked. Sage huffed. It was the best deal she was going to get.

Folding her arms and hunching her shoulders sulkily, she answered without looking at her cousin.

"Amazonia by James Rollins."

"Dad, write that down." Charlie insisted.

"Right…" Leo summoned a pen and a notepad from his tool belt and scribbled the book title down. "Come on, Charlie."

"Now?"

"Yes, now. Before you spend your allowance on flipping Lego again." Charlie snickered evilly. "It's not funny! That hurt!" Louisa looked at them quizzically. "I stepped on Lego and he thought it was hilarious."

"It is!" Charlie insisted. He saw Sage was still glaring at him. "Book! We need to go and get the book, Dad!"

"Alright, alright." Leo hurried forward, scooping his son up and sitting him on his shoulders. They set off down the hill, Louisa in tow.

Percy sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"I knew you couldn't go more than a week without trying to kill Charlie." Sage scrunched her face at her father. Percy laughed, annoyingly messing her hair. "You're just like your mom."

"So you're always telling me."

"Hey, it's the bookworm!"

"No, shush!"

"Good part?" Sage nodded eagerly, not taking her eyes from the book. Tyler moved around her and peered over her shoulder curiously and managed to read a few lines before she flicked the page. He rolled his eyes at her book obsession and set about getting his school books from his locker.

"Oh my gods! He killed Manny!"

"What?" Sage shook the book, as if she were throttling the character.

"I liked Manny! You can't kill him!" Tyler snatched the book from her hands and she glared at him. "Give me that!"

"No!" He held it up high out of her reach. "You'll break it."

"I won't, but if you don't give it back, I'll break you!" She stood on her toes to get it, feeling her best friend's warm blue eyes on her. She put one hand at his throat and her other hand on his arm. "I will hurt you." She growled. Tyler watched her for a few seconds. He managed to detach himself, brush an imaginary speck of dust from the book and carefully handed it back, holding it at arm's length to avoid as much damage as possible that his crazy best friend could inflict on him.

"Why are you so violent?"

"It's in my blood, now shush!" Tyler obediently fell quiet and waited for her to finish the chapter, getting her books from her locker as well. "I can't believe they killed Manny!"

"Who's Manny?"

"He's the funny one. They always kill the funny ones."

"They do?" She nodded, scowling slightly. She tucked her bookmark in the book and slid the book into her bag, accepting her school books from her friend. "I'm scared to ask more."

"I won't tell you more. You should be reading the books I give you!" Tyler took a big step back, looked at her and then took another three steps back.

"I think this will do for now." He smiled lopsidedly, tilting his head to the side so that his brown-blonde hair seemed bronze in the artificial lighting. "Charlie's behind you." He mouthed. Sage twisted round and grabbed her cousin by the shoulders. Charlie 'meeped' in panic and the 'kick me' sign he had in his hands fluttered to the floor.

"I didn't do it, I'm sorry!" He put his hands on his head and dropped to his knees. They heard laughter. Tyler glanced around and saw Charlie's long-time friend, Phoenix, was smiling and shaking her head at her stupid friend.

"Charlie, get up."

"No, she's scary!"

"Charlie…" Phoenix warned. She could be just as fiery as Sage when she wanted to. She marched forward and grabbed him by the arms, hauling him to his feet and away from his cousin.

"Were you going to stick a 'kick me' sign on me?"

"No! I was going to give it to you so you could stick it on Tyler. Promise!"

"Mm-hm." Sage hummed disbelievingly. She stepped forward, throwing her hand out and grabbing him by his hair.

"Ow! Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow! Ow!" Charlie protested. Sage dragged him down the corridor and all the way to the girls' bathroom. "No! Not there! I'm sorry! Sage, no!"

"What do you say?" Sage demanded teasingly, one hand on the door to the girls' toilets.

"I'm really sorry and Sage is better than me in every way!"

"And?" She prompted, tugging on his hair for extra measure. He whimpered.

"She's smarter and funnier and more awesome and I'll never be mean to her ever again!" She studied him for a few seconds and it was only when Tyler intervened did she let him go.

"Come on," Tyler laughed, "We've got Biology."

"Oh, do I have to? That teacher's an idiot!"

"He's got a doctorate in Biology. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's on about." Sage made a face at this. She couldn't even count on her fingers, toes, limbs and hair strands how many times she had corrected their Biology teacher and the text book. It wasn't her fault her grandmother was Athena. She was only studying Biology for a chance in marine biology with her architectural projects on the side. Those were her plans- Tyler's plans were to be her assistant, so he could annoy her for the rest of her life.

Tyler smiled, his eyes gleaming with the start of an idea. "If you can be quiet and not correct him at all this lesson, I'll buy you three books."

"Of my choice?" He nodded. Sage debated it quietly to herself. "OK, fine. But just this lesson. You need more books to bribe me afterwards." He chuckled and tucked his arm around her shoulders in a friendly gesture.

"I wouldn't expect any less." He grinned.

It was so difficult to not correct their Biology teacher. Instead, Sage angrily jotted down everything she knew about the respiratory system, ignoring the teacher completely.

There were some real idiots teaching in this school. It was a miracle Sage was still here after insulting the majority of them. Her parents were trying to find a school that would push her high intellect.

"Hey." Tyler hissed. "Why is your dad texting me in the middle of lesson?"

"What?!" He passed her his phone under the table. Sage scanned the text angrily:

I apreesiaat u bein gd 2 Sage, bt dont hurt her

Sage cursed profusely in Ancient Greek. "Whatishedoing?!" She raged quietly. She started jabbing in a reply on Tyler's phone:

Dad! Middle of the lesson! And he's a FRIEND! Will you drop it?

"Ms. Jackson, I understand you are bored, but that does not mean you can text during my lesson."

"Hey! I've got bigger things to worry about than your stupid lesson!"

"Then take it elsewhere!"

"Fine!" She shoved everything in her bag, returned Tyler's phone to him and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

Tyler gave a low whistle.

"Damn gurl." The class burst into peals of laughter.

While stomping about the school grounds to calm down, Sage rang her father.

"Why are you texting Tyler now?!" She demanded.

"Why are you on his phone?"

"Because he showed me! You don't need to text him!"

"Sage-"

"Yes, I was texting him last night, but only 'cos he's funny and he's my best friend!"

"You got kicked out of lesson again, didn't you?"

"That's irrelevant and yes, the teacher's an ass! You're getting off topic!"

"Sorry." Percy mumbled sarcastically. He sighed. "Sage… I-"

"You, what, Dad? What?"

"Nevermind." He grumbled. "Go and calm down and I'll talk to you later."

"No, we talk now!" But he had already said goodbyes and hung up. Sage tried ringing him right back, but it went straight to voicemail. She cursed loudly again and threw her phone aside.

"Ooh, temper tantrum."

"Oh gods… Charlie, not now."

"What's the matter?"

And poor Charlie was the brunt of the rant she had kept bottled up all week. She was stuck in a class full of idiots being taught by an idiot; her dad wouldn't let her be friends with any male creature outside of the family, even though it was pretty clear she hated pretty much every single girl in the school; she was bored in lessons and on top of her homework and her extra studies and nothing seemed to push her.

Charlie was a good listener though, one of the reasons why she got on well with him from time-to-time. He didn't interrupt once in her near fifteen minute rant about everything bothering her.

"Better?" He asked once she had finished. She sighed, running her hands through her hair.

"Yeah…" She looked at him. "Sorry you caught that." He waved it off, smiling. "What are you doing out of lesson anyway?"

"Um… I was supposed to stand outside. Got a bit hot." He mumbled. "I haven't burnt anything!" He added quickly.

"I didn't say you had." He relaxed slightly and studied her curiously.

"You need a Charlie hug." He smiled, holding his arms out.

"I do not…" She objected feebly and quietly, walking into his hug anyway. His hugs were always warm and brotherly. There was no way you could refuse a Charlie hug. They always made you feel better. "Can I borrow your phone?" She asked, pulling back.

"I don't have it."

"Why?"

"I broke it."

"How?"

"I lost control and it kind of melted…" Sage laughed softly, ruffling his hair.

"There's a surprise." She turned and went on a search of her phone. Charlie helped her.

They found it in the grass about five minutes later. Thankfully, it still worked. Sage rang her father again, relieved when he answered.

"Feeling better?"

"Yeah. Sorry for shouting at you."

"No, it's fine. I'm used to it."

"Oh, ha ha, very funny." Percy sniggered.

"So, what can I do for you then?"

OK, that'll do. I'm sure somebody asked for more Charlie-Sage interaction and I've done what I could. I don't want to post my chapter for Charlie's story just yet, so I'm going to try and work on some of the others.

I'm also thinking of updating Parenthood, Apocalyptic Love, start the rewrite of Leo's settled down, Max and Alvie's stories, Tobias's second story (greedy pig) and I have a few chapters of a story pre-written, but it's a bit mean. Should I try and post that one at some point?
