"Uh," I mumbled, staring at Athen. Oh, god. Oh, god. This wasn't good.

"Why in Mt. Olympus were you kissing my daughter?" Screeched Athena. I looked over at Annabeth who was blushing like a mad woman, and all she could do was smile with embarrassement.

"Because I like her?" I suggested innocently.

"You shouldn't!" Athena yelled again.

"Athena, Mom, you don't have any more control over Percy and I then Zeus does." Annabeth finally spoke up, her eyes narrowed at her mother. Wow, Annabeth talked back to her mom. That is something that I didn't think she would ever do.

"But-but but," Athena stuttered.

"But what? I'm allowed to have a life, right? Isn't that you want for your children?" Annabeth conceited in a sugary sweet tone. I stared, gaping at the two of them. Athena cursed, and stomped away in a mad fury. I gulped, and looked at Annabeth.

"Wow." Was the only, and probably stupidest thing I could come up with. I was in shock, and in my kind of living circumstances, being a demi-god and all, shock normally wasn't even in my catagory. But today, I guess it was.

"What?" Annabeth smiled at me, and then blushed. I didn't notice before, but I loved it when she blushed. Her whole entire face turned a pink rose colour and even her ears turned red.

"You just stood up to your Mother. The almighty godess, Athena."

She giggled- actually giggled. Like a little five year old girl. My Gods, what happened to Annabeth. "All those years of being pushed around by people, including Athena, got to me I guess. It took me by surprise too."

"What do you think she's going to do?" I inquired, conjuring up all the possibilities of Hell that Athena could create.

I winced.

All those things that could possibly done by Athena were some of the most frightening things in my life.

And it's pretty hard to scare me.

Okay, not really, but still.

"Knowing her, which I do, she'll throw a hissy fit and then threaten us. But she won't do anything, Zeus won't allow it. Don't worry too much," Annabeth explained with a flick of her hand. "Besides, we always have glimmers and Blackjack to get away from the fury called My Mother."

"That's comforting." I said sarcastically, but earning a quick comforting peck on the cheek from Annabeth. This time, I blushed. Wow, I am a loser and a Seaweed brain.
