"Percy." Annabeth said. He looked over at her and frowned. She was biting her lip nervously.

"What's wrong?" Percy asked her curiously. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

"I'm worried about what might happen when we get to my dad's place." She admitted.

"You mean what might go wrong?" Percy asked. Annabeth nodded. "I thought you said things were going better with your dad." Annabeth sighed.

"I did and they are. It's just….Well, we have already run into a horde of Empousa and we aren't even there yet! I know he helped out with on Mt Tamalpais, but I still don't think he understands. " She exclaimed. Percy nodded.

"Don't worry, Wise girl. It will be o.k. The titan palace was destroyed so it will be no more dangerous than New York is for us. If we do see any monsters we can kill them without your family getting hurt of even finding out about them." Percy said. Annabeth stared at him in shock, which was ok as they had stopped at the lights.

"That's a really smart plan. I didn't know you had a brain in there, seaweed brain." She teased grinning. "I'm not sure if it will work, but we can at least try and keep them away from the house." Percy smiled back at her and nodded. After a few seconds he turned back to his window and watched the houses and trees flashed by. The sun was glaring down on the city, without a single cloud to dilute the harsh rays. He could see the heat waves rolling off the road in front of them. Annabeth took a right turn and slowed the car pulling up to the curb.

"Here it is." She said nervously looking over at Percy. The house itself was a white, modern, two story one with a small front lawn. The lawn had multiple trucks and toys strewn across it. Annabeth took a deep breath and looked over at Percy. He gave her an encouraging smile and she opened her door. Percy opened his door and walked around the back of the car. Annabeth opened the boot and grabbed her bag out. Percy grabbed his and an extra one. They walked up to the front door hand in hand. Annabeth rang the doorbell and they waited for a few moments in silence. Percy rubbed reassuring circles on the back on Annabeth's hand. The door opened and out stepped Mr Chase looking exactly as he had 2 years ago when Percy had come to 'borrow' his car. His aviator cap and goggle were both present, though not as startling as they had been the last time. Mr Chase smiled at them.

"Annabeth. You're here." He said bringing her forward into an awkward hug. Annabeth hugged him back and smiled softly. After a few moments she pulled back and smiled at her dad.

"Dad, this is Percy." She introduced him. Percy stepped forward and shook Mr Chase's hand.

"It's good to see you again sir." Percy said. Mr Chase looked closely at him and after a moment his eyes lit up in recognition.

"Ah, yes. I remember. Did you bring any more Celestial bronze for me to melt down?" He asked with a grin. Percy chuckled.

"A few." He said motioning towards his extra bag. Annabeth raised her eyebrows. "We told Chiron about the celestial bronze bullets your dad shot at Mount Tam and he suggested that we bring some old weapons and see what he could do with them. We iris messaged Mr chase during the summer, when you were doing blue prints for Mount Olympus." Percy explained. Mr Chase nodded along.

"Yes. Well come on in them." He said stepping back to let them in. Annabeth walked into the house and Percy followed. The house looked exactly the same, with LEGO pieces covering the white carpet floor and LEGO buildings in various stages of completion. It smelt of hot fudge brownie. They walked up the spiral staircase and down a short hallway, where they stopped at the first door on the right.

"This Is your room Percy." He said opening the door and gesturing inside. "Annabeth yours is the same as last time." Annabeth nodded and glanced at the door next to Percy's.

"I'll leave you two to get settled in then. I have to place my Russian World War 2 soldiers before Lunch." Mr Chase said with a grin. Percy and Annabeth smiled in return and watched walked down the hall and disappeared in the third, and last, room on the left.

"Do you want to unpack your stuff and then, I can give you a tour of the house?" Annabeth suggested. Percy nodded and let go of her hand. She kissed his cheek, then opening her door, disappeared into her room. Percy sighed and walked into his. The room had pale blue walls and light wood flooring. There was a single bed pushed up against the right wall and a built in wardrobe on the left wall. A mahogany desk and chair sat next to it with a huge window on the wall above it. The window looked out over back yard. Looking out the window Percy could see set of yellow and green swings and a sand pit, filled with sand bucket and shovels, below. Percy walked over to the bed and dumped his bags on the black duvet. He opened the bag and dumped all of his stuff on the bed. Sighing he began to pack it all into the drawers inside the wardrobe. There were a couple of coat hangers in the wardrobe already and Percy used these to hang his shirts. After he unpacked his bag he stowed the other one, filled with celestial bronze weapons, under the bed. He glanced quickly around the room to make sure he had put everything away and, satisfied, he left the room. As his door clicked shut he knocked on Annabeth's door.

"Just a minute Percy." She called through the door. Percy leant against the white wall and waited. A minute passed and Annabeth came out. She still had her camp half-blood t-shirt on with denim shorts and her hair long, blonde done up in a ponytail, but Percy thought she couldn't look any more perfect.

"Ready, seaweed brain?" She asked. Percy chuckled and nodded. He held his elbow up, like a southern gentlemen and laughing she took it.

"Where to my lady?" He asked keeping up the charade. Annabeth laughed again and pointed down the hall. Percy marched down the hall and as they passed the different doors Annabeth labelled them. The first door on the left was Bobbie's and the second one was Mathew's. The last one was her dad's study. On the left hand side was the guest bedroom, where Percy was staying. The second one was Annabeth's, when she stayed there and the last was her dad and step mother's room. They marched downstairs to the living room. They went through the yellow-cabinet kitchen and dining room, past the laundry room and bathrooms, and outside under the pergola were they sat down in matching red and white checked arm chairs. They sat in a content silence. Annabeth was thinking and drawing up in her mind plans for the buildings she hoped to put on Olympus and Percy was watching her, as thinking was not his strong point. Eventually though the silence was broken by Annabeth's step mother calling them in for lunch. They got up and walked back inside to the dining room, where the rest of Annabeth's family already sat.
