Chapter 4

Percy's POV

The pavilion was dead quiet. If anyone wasn't paying attention before they were sure as Hades paying attention now.

Annabeth and I turned red.

"You're our daughter?" I asked, not really trusting my voice.

Amber laughed. "I'm not the only one." She motioned to her twin brother, Noah.

Noah grinned. His stormy grey eyes shined, "Noah Tobias Jackson, reporting for duty."

A boy who looked around 13 stepped forward. Amber gestured to him. "This is Theseus-"

"-Theo." The boy muttered.

"-Zachary Jackson." She introduced.

Theo had the same tanned skin as his older siblings, along with my messy black hair and sea green eyes.

"Okay, so you're our kids. Why not?" Annabeth murmured.

I stifled a chuckle. "So what I about them?" I pointed to the other kids.

Skye and Alex came forward.

"Skye Silena Grace." Said she.

"Alexander- call me Alex- Storm Grace." Said he.

Lucas came up, his shirt a bit damp. "Lucas Archimedes Valdez."

I raised an eyebrow. "But Leo is dead."

"That's what you think." Was all he answered. I didn't reply.

Then 2 girls ran up, out of breath. They both looked around Theo's age, so 12 or 13.

The girl with caramel brown wavy hair and hazel eyes grinned. Something told me to never trust her home alone, and to never trust her around sharp objects. "I'm Caly Anna Valdez."

Explains a lot.

The other girl seemed more mature. She had curly black hair and gold eyes that seemed scarier than Thalia's but her light brown skin was tinted pink, as if she were laughing, so it made her seem a lot less scary. "I'm Jasmine Alana Zhang. But most people call me Jaz."

"Where were you guys?" Lucas asked his little sister.

Caly grinned again. "So, we were looking for Uncle Jason and Aunt Piper, 'cause they stayed here after the war, you know? And I accidentally caught my hair on fire because I got too close to a brazier. And-"

"Just get to the point, Valdez." Theo mumbled into his palm.

"I was getting there, Jackson. So anyways, we decided to check Cabin One for them. And say things our young innocent eyes were not intended to see." She explained.

Jasmine visibly shuddered.

As if on cue, Jason and Piper stumbled into the mess hall. Their shirts were rumpled, as if put on hastily (Piper's was inside out), and their hair was matted to the scalp.

"Hey Perce, Annabeth." Jason greeted.

I fought to keep myself from laughing.

"So, who are these?" Piper asked.

Annabeth told her first. "Our kids."

Jason almost toppled over in surprise. When he stood up, his jaw was hanging open like a fish. "What?"

I shrugged. "I honestly don't know."

Alex sighed. "This is so weird. I'm older than my dad right now."

Jasmine huffed. "I'm the same age as my mom. No offense, but I find that more horrifying."

Alex shrugged.

"To answer your question, dear 'ol darling Dad-" Amber started.

"Never. Never. Say that again." Noah interjected.

"-Shut up, Noah. Anyways, we're from the future. The gods decided to send us into the past to meet you guys. Why? We have no idea." Amber finished.

"Maybe they're using this as a reality TV show on Hephaestus TV!" Skye suggested.

"Then I hope no one saw what Jaz and I saw. Because no god, Titan, primordial, or monster deserves to see the nasty jazz that goes on in Cabin One when only Aunt Piper and Uncle Jason are inside." Caly shuddered.

Jason and Piper turned very red.

"But it's not like we intended for you to see that!" Piper protested,

"That's what makes it worse." Jasmine sighed. She started mumbling, "Never again. Never. Again."

Skye sat down on a table top of an empty table. "So, Mom. How was your- dare I say it- evening?"

Caly jumped up. "Please don't explain the gory details! I beg of you. That'll just bring back the memories that I'm trying to forget! So fresh, so nasty, so scarring!"

Skye laughed. "I'm sure you're overreacting, Caly."

Caly glared at the legacy of Zeus. "You try walking in on adults while they're having a very…er…personal moment. I assure, it's enough to have a stroke."

Skye snorted and swung her right leg over the other. "Oh please, I've lost count of the many time I've caught my parents doing the deed in a closet when I come from school or a party. The numbers alone are traumatizing. I've been scarred for life."

That did it. Everyone, except for the kids, Jason, and Piper, started laughing.

Amber raised an eyebrow at Annabeth and I. "Like you two are any better?"

That sobered us up real quick.

"How many times have we walked in on them doing the mattress mambo, without a mattress, in the bathroom?" She called to her brothers.

Noah shivered. "At least 23. Emphasis on least."

"I have to flood the bathroom with Lysol every time." Theo whispered.

Annabeth and I turned red while Jason, Piper, and ALL of camp laughed at us.

"I swear…" Annabeth mumbled, still red faced.

"See ya later, alligators." Amber said. She pulled Skye away.

"Catch ya later, dad." Noah said. Then he, Alex, and Lucas ran off to do something "manly."

The only one's left were Theo, Jasmine, and Caly. They grinned at each other that made me uneasy.

"Let's jump off the climbing wall into the lake!" Caly said, jumping up and down with excitement.

"Yeah, no. Last time you wanted to "jump from 'somewhere safe'" you ended up climbing onto your roof and hurling yourself off like you could fly. Then you had to go to the Emergency Room and Theo and I got grounded for not talking you out of it. No way am I going to go through that again, Miss Adrenaline Junkie." Jasmine shook her head.

"Okay, but I promise this time that I'll be safe, Jaz!"

"Nope."

"Come on!"

"Think again."

"But-"

"No."

"But I'll-"

"No buts, I actually want to live to see my same aged mother, as disturbing as that sounds." Jasmine frowned.

Caly scowled and muttered, "Kill joy." Then she stalked off with Jasmine and Theo in tow.

Author's Note: That's all I've written so far, so don't expect any updates anytime soon. I had this written down for a long time, and when I was writing it, I had a rush of humor, but now that humor is gone ._. Anyways, I'll try to work on this, but most of my attention is on my other story: Marred by My Scars. Please check that one out, I put a lot of time and effort into it! Gtg now, going to the book store! Love you guys!

XOXO,
