Thalia started pulling herself to the top of the first bunk bed. "I call top!" She plopped down on it.
"I call other top!" Grover said.
"Mountain goat, we figured you would get top." Nico rolled his eyes and sat down on his bed under Grover. He always wanted bottom.
Thalia dropped her suitcase onto the bed below. "I have it all to myself, suckers." She smiled and laid back.
"Nico put our suitcases in the closet." Grover asked but it sounded more like a demand.
Nico brought a skeleton back to life and made it put the suitcases up. "Stay… Butler ." Nico was making this skeleton be his butler.
"Jerk." Our lovely daughter of Zeus rolled her eyes at the son of Hades and the guy she likes.
(((())))
"That was so embarrassing!" Annabeth cried flopping down on her and Percy's bed.
"Well do you…?" Percy tried to make this less awkward.
"Percy, mind out of the gutter!" She snapped.
"Yes dear." Percy replied quickly while he felt whipped.
Annabeth sat up and went to her closet. She shoved their bags in. "There we go." She shut the door back and kissed Percy quickly on the lips.
"Too short." Percy pouted.
Annabeth raised her eyebrows. "Percy."
"I'm sorry sweetheart. Please forgive me." Percy was once again whipped.
Annabeth considered this. "Fine." She said. She thought about how sorry she felt for Percy being whipped two times in the same time frame of five minutes. She smiled at Percy with a mischievous smile on her face.
"What?" Percy asked stupidly.
Annabeth leaned in and kissed Percy for two minutes but pulled back. "Happy?" She asked him.
"Maybe." Percy embraced Annabeth and sniffed her lemon scented hair. "Now I am."
Annabeth pulled back. "Did you just sniff my hair?" She had her mouth hanging open.
"Yeah… Is that a problem?" Percy blushed a deep shade of red.
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "A little weird but what do I expect from Percy?' Annabeth said cheekily.
"To be me!" Percy cheered like a seven year old.
"Yep. Now let's go meet Grandma." Annabeth dragged him to the bunk bed room otherwise known as the green room.
Annabeth flung the door open to find Nico holding a shoe to fling. "Nico, what are you doing?" Percy demanded like a father would yell at his son when the son and the son's girlfriend have both their shirts off.
"Percy, don't yell at your little cousin." Annabeth shot Percy a stern glare.
"Yes Annabeth. I'm sorry Nico." Percy quickly said.
Grover, Thalia, and Nico burst out laughing. "PERCY'S WHIPPED!" They yelled at the same time.
Annabeth narrowed her eyes. "Guys." She began.
"Yes Annabeth." They all snapped their mouths shut.
Percy took the silence as a good time to lighten the mood. "That's what she said."
Annabeth spoke up, "I know your Achilles Heel."
That sucked all of the air out of Percy's body. "Baby, please don't kill me."
"I'm considering." Annabeth sat down on Thalia's bottom bunk while the other three's eyes watched them argue.
Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon popped in. "That's my job!" Hades and Zeus bellowed.
"Hi dad!" Thalia said and waved.
Zeus had a ghost of a smile. "Hello Thalia."
"Son." Hades acknowledged Nico.
"I'm here because they made me." Poseidon held his hands up in defense. "Oh Percy, mind out of the gutter. I can hear you." Poseidon winked a wink that indicated it was
an inside joke.
Annabeth jabbed a poke to Percy in his Achilles Heel. And what does Percy do? He screams like a girl.
"That's not manly." Zeus pointed out.
"Oh wait. I remember why we were here. Inya won the discussion." Poseidon said.
"Oh yeah!" Hades' eyes bugged out.
Zeus shook his head. "I still say that Aphrodite can't control gods and goddess' feelings." Zeus crossed his arms and stomped out.
Suddenly a goofy grin was replaced by Poseidon's bemusing smile. "Uh, dad? Are you okay?" Percy questioned.
Poseidon just shook his head and the grin turned into a smirk. "Just fine."
Percy just shrugged and Zeus came back in. "Let's go." Zeus said while our favorite demigods and satyr turned away from the golden light.
When they turned back, they were gone. Annabeth reopened the door and walked out to the back porch while everybody scrambled off the beds and followed.
"Grandma, it's me." Annabeth silently wished her grandmother would not tell them until everyone was introduced.
Inya turned around from the table she was moving across the porch and smiled at Annabeth and her friends.
"Hello children. Line up and introduce yourselves." Inya asked politely.
Percy was beside Annabeth at the beginning of the line. "I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon and savior of Olympus ." Percy shook Inya Goldberg's hand.
"I've heard so much about you." Inya winked at Annabeth.
"You know me Grandma." Annabeth hugged her grandma and thanked the gods they had both survived another year with her grandfather's scent still lingering in the house.
"Thalia daughter of Zeus and Hunter of Artemis." Thalia introduced herself.
"Nice to see you again Thalia." Inya hugged her granddaughter's friend.
Grover bowed to her. "Grover Underwood. Satyr, protector, and lord of the Wild at your service." With that, Grover took Inya's hand and kissed it.
"Hello Grover." Inya smiled curtly and moved onto Nico.
When Nico looked into Inya's eyes, something clicked. This was Nico's childhood friend. "Hey Inya!" Nico hugged her.
She pulled away. "Hey DiAngelo! You haven't changed a bit. Literally." Inya's eyebrows furrowed together.
"I've been stuck in the Lotus Casino for years." Nico sighed grudgingly.
"Aw. This is very awkward though." Inya frowned a bit.
"Why- oh don't tell Annabeth. I'd literally have to have bodyguards." Nico was panicked at this point.
"Don't tell Annabeth what?" Annabeth demanded.
Inya's face turned to panic also. "I'll tell you later!" With that, Inya walked to the center of them. "I am Inya Goldberg. Can anyone guess my father? Big three?"
Annabeth raised her hand. "Daughter of-"
"Not you." Inya raised her eyebrows. "No one?" Everyone shook their heads. Then the ground started shaking and water started soaking the kids.
Then it stopped.
"P-e-r-r-c-y-y!" Grover bleated.
Percy raised his hands. "Wasn't me. I swear to Zeus." No thunder or lightning.
"What was it?" Nico asked.
Inya curtsied. "Hello? Daughter of Poseidon here." Inya said.
Percy had a half-sister. With this starting fact, Percy fainted.
