Star="Don't we all want a guy like Percy? To always come back if he forgot to say good bye?"

Annabeth="HE'S A FICTIONAL CHARACTER PEOPLE GET OVER HIM AND HE'S MIIIIINE!!!!!!! RIGHT PERCY?"

Percy *rolls eyes*="Yes dear."

Annabeth="And you're not going out with Jessica Alba? RIGHT? HUH. HUH. HUH. HUH?"

Percy="No dear."

Annabeth="GOOD!"

Grover="Jessica Alba? WHERE? She promised to play checkers with me!" Sorry Jessica Alba, I think Grover likes you.

Annabeth="SHUT UP GROVER! AND WHEN THE HECK DID YOU GET INTO THE STORY? AHHHH!!!! A GOAT STALKER!"

Annabeth

In the end Trina did come over, my adorable little blond haired, purple eyed, monster of a sister skipping into our door without bothering to wipe her muddy feet.

"Hi sister from another mister!" she called cheerily. "Wass crackilackin'?"

"N-nothing much." I said sniffeling. I ducked my head down and blew my nose.

"Aw honey." Trina came over and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. "It's going to be okay! Percy'll be home before you know it!"

I shook my head and dabbed my eyes.

"He will!" Trina insisted. My eyes smarted even worse than ever and I pointed to the onions I was chopping up.

"Not that T-Trina, I-I'm making your f-favorite! My famous onion rings and Chili Con Carney, homemade!" I said proudly showing her the bowl.

Uh oh, maybe I got some chili powder stuck in my nose.

"ACHOO!" I sprayed her with snot. "Oops s-sorry Trina." I apologized wiping my nose again.

"Ew, but thanks!" She said brightly. "So, where can I crash 'til the Valient Knight return-eth from-eth his quest....eth?" I started laughing, nobody could make me laugh like Trina could.

"Da couch." I said stuffily. "I've set up some b-b-bwankets (blankets) and piwows (pillows) for y-you." Not again, I barely had time to cover my nose before..."A-a-a-ACHOOO!" Trina edged away from me.

"Be sure not to get any of the gold in the chili or onions!" she hinted not-so-subtly. "Wouldn't want to ruin 'em!" I rolled my eyes.

"Y-your c-concern enlightens m-me, w-whatever more could s-someone do to b-be m-more sensitive? Achoo!" good, a smaller one.

"Probably a lot more, oh hey! I'm going to watch L'amor Falls, k?" she said bouncily and tripped away to the TV humming a merry tune.

"Gee thanks." I said in surly voice. I heard a "you're welcome" and rolled my eyes.

I put the onions into the oven and stirred the chili until it was a bright reddish brown. "Yummy!" I said. "TRINA! NO MORE CHILI POWDER IN ME!"

"Woah there big sis, way too much info there!" I blushed and stole the blanket wrapped around her arms.

"Not that way! Whichever way it is! I don't know what you mean! WHAT THE FREAK DO YOU MEAN?! Oh My GOODNESS SOMEONE HELP ME! I'M SO CONFUSED!" Trina rolled her eyes.

"Whatever blows your hair back Annie!" she said and stole back the blanket. "BAM!" she snapped the blanket against my back (locker room style, I got it from Home Improvement) and made me scream.

"I'M SO GOING TO KILL YOU! GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE-" I chased her around the house until I collapsed in a heap back in the kitchen with Trina peering curiously from the safety of the door.

"Hey, how come you're always in here?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" I said even more confused.

"You're always in the kitchen!" Trina clarified. "Always, for this whole pregnancy this is basically the only time I've ever seen you out of here. You need some fresh air!" I shook my head.

"Trina, my grandfather is Zeus, the lord of the sky, the big kahuna! I've got a lot of fresh air!" I said sardonically. "So in a word, no." my tone provided no room for argument so Trina tried a different tactic.

"But, I kinda want to go to the pier." she said innocently. "You know see some of the sites of Long Island!" I giggled at her.

"Trina, no guy is going to walk around in his swim trunks in New York! It's the East Coast for crying out loud it's usually too cold for us to swim!"

"But it's June!" she said persuasively. "And you might see some of Percy's cousins! You know, the clown fish?" I laughed at that.

"Trina!" I whacked her arm with a spoon gently. "Don't be mean! And no, that's my final word!" I raised an eyebrow that usually meant danger to everyone.

"Fine!" Trina pouted. "Then let's go watch I Love Lucy reruns until this yummy looking grub is ready!" I scowled, I hated that show!

"Grrrrr!" I growled impressively.

"That might work on Percy but not me!" she smiled. I could tell she was cracking. "FINE! Let's go sketch by the patio then, you know your buildings and other boring things relating to your career!" I scowled and marched past her, the timer for the chili and onions would go off in about another half an hour anyways.

Percy

"So, what's your autobiography about?" I asked holding my notepad on my knee. The man stared at me as if I were insane.

"What are autobiographies usually about, sir?" he asked sarcastically. My cheeks glowed pink for a moment until I recovered.

"I mean, what about you specifically? Is it going to be the usual your entire life thing or just one event?" I said patiently.

"Three things, sir." he said through gritted teeth. "Have you not read my thesis?" Uhhhhhhh........Maybe?

"Of course I have." I said smoothly. "But I just wanted to be sure, and is this going to be censured for kids?" the man glared at me with a look so hot it could peel of my skin had I not been wearing sunscreen.

"Of course!" he exploded. "I hate those books where it's only for grown ups! I love kids, don't you love kids?" I nodded.

"My wife's four months pregnant with our first." I informed him. "We've just decided on a name."

"Really?" he looked excited, it was kind of creepy because he was grasping my arm super tightly. "What are the names?" He breathed.

"Skyler if it's a guy and Odette if it's a girl." I said scooting back a little. His face lit up with joy.

"When I was boy back in Kenya I used to have a little boy named Aasir, he was a wonderful little man-cub he used to have wonderful adventures like swinging on vines. There was this one time when our village was running out of water and we had to swing on vines with gourds in our hands like Tarzan." the man recounted fondly. "My name's Jim by the way, my boy's coming over here in fifteen minutes so is my book going to be published or not?" I nodded.

"Of course, although." I paused. "You might want to make it your entire life and share those "wonderful adventures" with the world, they sound fascinating."

Annabeth

"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" Trina screamed to the oven. "I WANT MY ONION RINGS!" I sighed and pointed to the timer.

"Just another minute or so." I said demurely.

"I HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN OF A GNAT! I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!" she wailed at me.

"56....55...54...53..."I taunted her. "52...51...50!"

"AHH!" Trina shrieked and banged her head on the counter and moaned. "Micky Dee's."

"They don't serve onion rings!" I said vastly amused by her. "Just hamburgers and other heart diseases waiting to happen!" She growled and stuck her tongue at me.

DING! The timer warned me.

"ACH! WHAT WAS THAT?" Trina was completely frazzed today.

"The timer, let's take 'em out." I said patiently seizing an oven mitt. Trina watched in slightly creepy fascination as I opened the door, stuck my hand in and took out the onion rings.

"OOOH!" Imagine Toy Story and all of the toy aliens going "oooh", that's what she sounded like.

"Careful they're-" I said but she reached over and grabbed one.

"OW! THEY'RE HOT!" Wow, I thought, I wish Percy were here to see this.

I think this is the first chapter Annabeth hasn't screamed at someone for a non existent reason! Good job Annie, also does anyone know what might be wrong with Trina? PERCY RETURNS NEXT CHAPTER, which is good....cuz I missed him....!
