Chapter 4

Disiclamer I do not own any of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books or any of the Heroes of Olympus books. All rights go to author Rick Riordan. This story is meant to be for fun and the enjoyment of the readers.

Percy's POV

Biology class was pretty uneventful. Annabeth became the star pupil very quickly. I mean she even said things that the teacher didn't know. She'd kill me for saying this,but she is such a teacher's pet. Also, When Annabeth and I walked down the hall to class, almost every guy and girl in the hall stopped and looked at us. Guys were drooling over Annabeth and girls were giving her death stares. I wasn't worried about any of that though, Annabeth is pretty tough.

When I got to swimming, I talked a little with Jason and Frank. We talked about different things like how they liked their class, who else they had in their classes. Skylar was there too, but she stayed away for most of class. Probably fearing that Eric would throw her away, again.

After swimming, I met up with Annabeth, Eric, Thalia, Nico, and Halle at Annabeth's locker. All our lockers are in the same hall, but are farther apart.

"You ready for Health guys?" I questioned.

"You bet! This is going to be an easy class," Annabeth said with a smirk. She knew all to well about human health. Mostly treating my injuries.

"Well, you're in for quite a surprise," I grinned knowingly at Annabeth. She along with Nico and Thalia looked at me questionably.

"And why is that? Do you and the Stolls have a surprise prank for us?" Annabeth smirked.

"No, but you'll find out. C'mon let's get going," I said

"Will!" Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico screamed once they entered class.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Will asked.

"Are you really a health teacher? I mean, with your Dad being who he is," Annabeth asked.

"Yep! Crazy huh?" Will said.

"Whoa, you all know each other?" Eric asked.

"Will is a counselor at our summer camp," Annabeth explained.

"What about you saying his Dad has something to do with him teaching health?" A kid in class asked.

"His father is a doctor," Annabeth simply said. It's true. Just not the complete truth. Will Solace's dad is Apollo. He does music, archery, healing, poetry, prophecies, etc. Too many things to name.

"Okay settle down children. Now let's get started on some basic health habits, but first a pre-test to see what you know." Will said as he tried to get everybody's attention.

After school let out I asked Annabeth where she was staying.

"You'll find out soon," She said mysteriously. "Just head on home for now, I think your mom said she had a surprise for you."

That got my attention. "Well I guess I'll see you later," I said as I kissed her goodbye. I said goodbye to everyone else including Eric, Halle, Sofia, Danny, and Noah. Then I headed home.

My mom was waiting for me at the door. "Hello Percy. How was school?" She asked.

"Amazing! Annabeth and my friends from camp are going to Goode this year!" I exclaimed.

"I know honey, Annabeth told me a while ago, but she made sure that it stayed a secret. She wanted to really surprise you." my mother said. "Also someone else is here to surprise you." She said this as we walked into the living room.

I caught my breath as I saw who was sitting on the couch. My father Poseidon was there. And he had a big smile on his face.

"Hello Percy, it's good to see you again," he said.

"Hey Dad, what brings you here?" I questioned.

"Well I came with a little... gift, call it a reward for your bravery in the Giant War and the Titan War," he said. "Now then I hate to rush things, but I would like you to come with me, Sally you and Mr. Blofis are also welcome to come."

He directed me to the driveway. I couldn't believe my eyes. A blue Porsche was sitting in the driveway with a note attached to it. It read:
Dear Perseus,

Consider this a gift from me, Hermes, as thanks for both the victory over the Titans and the Giants. Hopefully this will help you become even more popular at school than you already are. By the way, the color was picked out by Piper's mom, Aphrodite. She said it complimented your eyes blah blah blah. Anyways have a good time!

-Hermes Messenger God, God of Travels

I was at a loss for words. "Go ahead. Try it out," Poseidon urged.

As I stepped in the driver's side, Poseidon got in the passenger side while telling my mother that she could follow where we went or bring Paul with her when he arrived home. I didn't know what they were talking about.

"The GPS should take you to the place we need to go to. Just follow that route, should take 5 minutes," Poseidon said.

"Whoa, wait a second. Where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll see," He said matter of fact.

It took about five minutes to get there, and when I got out I could not believe my eyes. All my demigod friends were standing in front of a giant house. I mean compared to my mom's apartment, this place was huge.

"Surprise!" They all said at once.

"Welcome to Casa de Demigod," Leo joked.

"Well now, I must be off. Have a good time son," Poseidon said as he turned into a mist an dissapeared in the wind.

"Whoa wait. Did you guys know about this?" I asked.

Annabeth was the one that spoke. "Yes Seaweed Brain that's how we got here." She jokingly said. "Just kidding! We knew about this place for a little, but your mom and dad, and the gods, wanted us to surprise you with it. They figured we could do two surprises in one day."

"That's awesome! Let's go check it out!" I exclaimed.

The house was amazing. There was a very large kitchen with a dining room. The living room was the size of my old apartment with a jumbo TV mounted on the wall. There was a hallway for guys rooms, and a separate one for girls. The rooms were on the second floor though. The backyard was very large. About the size of the Garden of Bacchus in New Rome. There was a pool with a water slide (that's where I was going after the tour), an in-ground half-pipe, and a garden closer to the house area.

Annabeth personally showed me my room. I was just a regular sized room, but it had a TV, a computer on a desk, a nightstand with a phone. Annabeth told me that it was monster proof, made by Hephaestus himself. The walls were painted blue with sea green waves and the bed had teal covers. This room looked like it was made for Poseidon's kid.

"You know my mother did all the architecture for this place," Annabeth informed me.

"Well next time you talk to her, tell her that it is amazing," I replied.

"Why don't you tell me yourself?" A voice said from behind me. I looked back to see Athena herself, arms crossed smiling, though it looked forced. "I still can't believe I am doing this," she sighed.

"Mother!" Annabeth exclaimed.

"It is okay dear," Athena said calmly. "Why don't you let me and Percy talk in private?" She said thought it didn't sound like a request, more like a command.

As soon as Annabeth was gone, I started wishing she would come back. I haven't been alone with Athena often, but of the few times, one included me getting the front of my shirt charred.

"Perseus, I just want to make one thing clear," she said. "I do not want you getting my daughter into any trouble at school. No child of mine will let some hero get in the way of his or her academics."

"Yes ma'am," I quickly replied. I'm trying to get on Athena's good side, but that will take a lot of work. Especially considering I rarely talk to her.

"Glad we understand each other," she said. She then proceeded to burst into flames, once again, charring the front of my shirt. I didn't let it bother me though. My friends were living in the same house as I am now and we get to go to school together? What''s better than that?

"Percy come down," I hear Annabeth call. "Your parents are here and want to talk with you."

"Just a sec Annabeth," I call back. Looks like this year will be one to remember.
