"Ok," Annabeth said as the boat sailed closer to the island, "we have to be calm, cool and collected. First, we need to find Percy, get him his sword, and then we'll take care of Ate."

"What about Calypso?"

"Oh, yeah. I guess we'll find her too," she added as if an after thought.

"And why do we need Percy to fight Ate? Why can't we just do it by ourselves?"

"Do you know how hard it is fighting a god? An evil one, at that? Percy's fought Kronos, and Ares, and Dionysus hates his guts. One more god won't hurt."

"We could do it by ourselves."

"No we can't."

"How do you know?"

"Because I just do!" she yelled a bit too harshly.

"Fine," Pez sighed and backed off a bit. He bit the insides of his cheeks as he felt the bottom of the boat scrape across the sand.

Annabeth gasped and ran off the boat quickly towards a figure in the distance with shaggy black hair. What happened to calm, cool, and collected?

Pez dropped the anchor and ran off after her. What he found did not make him feel good. Not good at all. No, technically, Annabeth wasn't cheating on him at the moment, but there was definitely a lot of hugging and touching. Too much for his comfort. Over to his left, he could see a woman, about twenty with spiky, black hair, sitting in a lawn chair with a teenage girl standing next to her carrying a tray holding some sort of beverage. Pez took a deep breath before going in that direction.

If Annabeth thought that only Percy could win a fight against a god then she was going to be proven wrong. After Pez victoriously wins this fight, she will jump into his arms, and ask him to marry her, and then they will rule the world together, and have four children named Soda, Nova, Axel, and Guy. Yep. He couldn't wait.

"Ate," Pez said viciously once he got close to her.

"Ah, so you're that son of mine everyone's been talking about," she said after looking at him through her sunglasses. "I can see you got your looks from me. Lucky you." Pez gritted his teeth in frustration. He wasn't really here to talk about his awesomeness, for once. "Now, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to fuck shit up!" he shouted before taking out his sword and swinging down.


"Oh, gods! Percy, I'm so happy to see you," Annabeth shouted as she hugged him.

"How did you get here? Are you alright?" Percy was ecstatic. He hadn't seen her in weeks and missed everything about her. Her smell, her annoying and random facts that she's sprout out of nowhere, her smile. Just. . .everything.

She couldn't help but grin as he pushed her hair behind her ear. "I'm fine, I'm fine. We had to sneak out of camp and then steal a boat, and after sailing around -"

"Wait, wait. What do you mean, we?"

She bit her lip and looked down nervously.

Percy groaned before saying, "Oh, please tell me you're making that face because you brought Clarisse on this quest."

"Not exactly. . ."

He groaned once more. "Why'd you bring Candy?"

"I couldn't just leave him there!"

"Where is he, anyways?"

"Oh, I left him on the boat . . ." Annabeth stopped once she turned around and noticed that a small rooster named Trevor was the only living thing on their boat. "Pez?" she shouted as loud as she dared. "Pez?"

"Help me Oprah! Help me Jewish god! Help me Tom Cruise!"

Annabeth and Percy locked eyes for a moment before they both ran over to the distant scream. Annabeth gasped when she saw what was in front of her. Pez was fighting for his life against Ate while Calypso cowered in the corner.

"Pez, what are you doing?" Annabeth screamed.

"Your mom!" he yelled as Ate sliced down with her sword.

"Aw," she said, taking a small break from trying to kill the boy. "You got my humor, too."

Annabeth mentally slapped herself. How could she have been so stupid? It makes so much sense now. The lame and sexual jokes, the wanting to take over the world, the just plain 'evilness' of them both. Duh.

"You can't fight her by yourself!" she yelled again. "Let us help you!"

"You need your little girlfriend to fight your battles for you," Ate taunted.

"No," he said between his gritted teeth while the swords crashed together.

"Girlfriend?" Percy asked.

"Now isn't really the time," Annabeth said. "Pez is kind of about to die."

"I can do this on my own, Annabeth!" He had now lost his sword and was running as fast as he could away from the evil goddess. Yeah. He had this completely under control.

She rolled her eyes before grabbing Percy's hand and running after Ate. They finally caught up to them and found Pez pinned to the side of rock with Ate's sword at his throat.

"Can't run away anymore, now can you, hun?" she mocked. Pez didn't know what to do. He could let Annabeth and Percy fight Ate without him. No, then Percy would get all the credit, and he would be left in the corner to rot just like usual. He could die under his own mom's hand and be like a hero, taking one for the team. No, Percy would still get the credit, and Pez didn't like this whole 'hero' thing. It wasn't really for him. And either way, he wasn't getting his four children named Soda, Nova, Axel, and Guy. Nope.

There was still Option C. Punch her and see what happens from there.

Sounds fun.

He punched her, right in the mouth. He heard a gasp come from Annabeth and a stifled laugh from Percy. Ate just stood there, shocked.

Wasn't actually that fun.

After getting over the shock, Ate took her sword . . . and stabbed it into his stomach.

Yeah, not fun. Not fun at all.

Pez started getting light headed. He was having a hard time breathing, and everything was looking a bit red. He thought he heard Annabeth scream, but he also heard a giant zebra call him Kevin. Next thing he knows, black.


Sorry to spring the effer on y'all. It's not really my forte, but it's a line from Step Brothers and it just was nearly as good and funny when you replaced it with 'freak.' It just didn't work.

I know it's real short and all, but you should be happy because I decided to work on this instead of on my speech for my speech contest which is tomorrow. Yeah, I'm that nice. Next chappity chap will probably be the last, so sad face.

Review! I triple dog dare ya! Yeah, I just skipped the single, and the double! Can't go back now.

Oh yeah! And I wanted to thank all y'all (well, most of you, except that Nico Di Angelo anonymous reviewer guy. Yeah, you? You can suck it! Carry on) for all of the reviews! I'm over 150! Yay! I never thought I'd make it this far. Sniffle. Great! Now you've got me crying! :`)
