Disclaimer: I do not know Percy Jackon
Chapter 14
Percy sat on the down with Annabeth, who was admiring the sea-chariot.
"Oh my gods Percy, Poseidon actually lent you his sea-chariot?" Annabeth had exclaimed on realizing what they were riding in.
"Yeah…it cost me a sack of drachmas though," Percy replied, his eyes faraway. He was thinking about Andromeda. He had already realized how much he loved Annabeth, and pondered how he could break up with Andromeda without hurting her.
"What's wrong, Percy?" Annabeth said softly, taking his hand and squeezing it.
"It's…Andromeda. I don't know how to let her go without hurting her…"
"The Nereid? She's a trai-" she stopped herself before she could say "traitor".
"Yes, what about her?"
"Er, yeah you think about what you're going to do about that." She said, forcing a smile. "You can't have two "best friends", can you?" she added flirtatiously, curling her hand around his waist and pecking him on the cheek.
"How in Hades am I going to tell him that Andromeda is a traitor?" Annabeth thought.
Olympus TV room
A blonde grey eyed girl and raven haired boy with sea green eyes were kissing in a chariot.
They broke apart, smiling at each other.
"Y'know, we should do this more often. As friends, of course." The blonde girl said softly.
The raven haired boy grabbed her around the waist and initiated another kiss.
"WHAT?" Athena screeched, not believing her eyes. "WHAT IS THIS???
"True love, my dear Athena."
Athena turned and glared at Aphrodite, her cold gray eyes sending shivers up Aphrodite's spine.
"You are going to pay for this, you stupid blonde hussy! You bewitched my daughter into falling in love with a Seaweed brain!"
"Hey chill ladies. I know I'm handsome and all. But you don't need to fight over me. There's enough of me for the both of you." Apollo had entered, swaggering in and playing with his car keys. "Wait. I feel a haiku coming on."
"Just shut your trap Apollo. I have enough of your harebrained poetry." Athena snapped, her attention momentarily diverted from Aphrodite.
Apollo decided to drop it. He wouldn't want to get on Athena's nerves again. The last time had been painful.
"Hey! Ain't that Percabeth?" he exclaimed, looking at the screen. "Gods they look cute together."
Athena's eyes flashed murderously. Apollo flinched, not aware of what he had done to deserve her death glare.
"Err, something wrong, sweetie?" Apollo said grinned uncertainly. "That's what they call the ongoing romance of your daughter and Perseus Jackson."
"Never mind her Apollo. She's always so dry and bland; she won't understand the kicks that we get watching these mortal romance soaps." Aphrodite whispered to Apollo.
"What did you say?" Athena said again, her voice dangerously low and hoarse.
"Um…your daughter has a nice hairstyle?" Apollo tried.
"Yeah that hair looks great in when it is in Percy's face." agreed Aphrodite.
The Olympus TV room exploded.
Artemis's Room
Artemis turned over in bed, grinning to herself.
Stupid Apollo, she thought. Serves him right.
