Hello again. (Harry- "Yes, again.") I'm happy to see people reading the story! Great! Now if I could get some reviews...

Sitting in his living room, laughing, and with his girlfriend. Percy was happy. He had explained all that had happened and surprisingly, his mum had just accepted it like that.
"It's alright." She said. "I know how your mission thingies can get. I was worried, but I understand."
Jason whistled. "Man are you lucky. If I disappeared and didn't see my mum for years she would say... actually she did say." He paused and looked at Percy's mum. "Actually, I better not say."
Percy's mum winced and patted him on the shoulder. "Have some more blue cookies." She said handing Jason the last cookie and ignoring Percy's whine as he eyed the cookies.

"What's the deal with all the blue stuff anyway?" Frank asked.

"Yeah." Hazel added. "I remember when you first came to Camp Jupiter you had blue juice." They looked at her. "Well I remember because I couldn't decide whether you were going to laugh or cry."
Percy shrugged. "I don't think I could decide either."
"I remember too." Annabeth said. "When you came to Camp Half-Blood, you asked for blue cherry soda." She paused. "Come to think of it, you looked like you were about to cry then too!"
"Awwwww" Percy's mum said messing up her son's hair. "Mommy's blue food is so good it makes you cry." Percy swatted his mother's hand away. He realised everyone else was waiting for an explanation so he opened his mouth and words came out.

"Basically, my 'dad' said there was no such thing as food that was blue."

They all looked at Mr Blofis and he put his hands up. "Hey, it wasn't me dad it was the other dad."

"So... Poseidon said that?" Hazel ventured. Percy shook his head. "No... It was the dad between them two." He shuddered "It was Smelly Gabe. He said there was no blue food and so since then, me and mum and... Never mind... We tried to make every food blue."

"I bet he didn't like that."

Percy shook his head and laughed. "Nope."

Frank looked confused though. "But how did the subject of blue food come up?" Immediately they knew he had said something wrong. Percy's mum looked at Percy worriedly and Percy stiffened. "Excuse me. " He said abruptly and left. Annabeth running after him.
There was an awkward silence. "Sorry" Frank said. "I shouldn't have asked."

"No" Percy's mum said. "It's not your fault. It's just. It was a girl who we knew who mentioned it. She was Percy's best friend. They were as close as... but she...well she died. And Percy hasn't liked talking about her since."
They nodded. They could understand. Maybe that was why Percy's fatal flaw was helping his friends, because he didn't want to lose them like he did her. They looked out the door and in the hallway they could see Percy and Annabeth. They were hugging and it looked like Percy was either crying or laughing.

Annabeth was whispering to him. "-and then you can take them to Hephaestus' workshop."

"yeah" Percy whispered.

"But first you have to ask them." She handed him two small cubes and Percy nodded. Together they made their way to the others.
Percy looked nervously between his parents. "Uh... I think we should take a trip." He suddenly blurted. So much for asking subtly. Annabeth smacked herself on the head. But now Percy was started, he began to ramble. "We could do loads of fun stuff and I could show you it all and I even got you passes-"

"-Wait, wait, wait, hold your horses buckaroo." Paul said. "We already have passports and all that stuff."

Percy wrung his hands. "Not that kind of pass." He was quiet for some time, working himself up to say what he wanted to. Then suddenly: "I want you two to come to Camp Half-Blood with me for the rest of the summer!"

Shocked silence.

10 minutes later they were walking down the stairs, ready to go to Camp Half-Blood.
As they walked, Percy thought of his 'friend' who he had mentioned when they were talking about blue food. Even though it had been so many years, he still missed her.
As they walked out of the flat, Percy let himself fall into a memory.

Percy and his friend walked up to the bedroom of Percy's flat. As they did, his friend tripped on the last step and Percy caught her. She pulled herself out of his arms and said.
"Percy, I'm not a baby: I can stop myself." But 5 year old Percy puffed out his chest "But I'm older, and I can protect you like...like-"
"-Superman!" His friend exclaimed. Percy nodded "Yeah! Superman."
His friend pulled him into the bedroom and put her red cardigan on Percy's shoulders like a cape.

"I'm SUPERMAN!" Percy shouted and they fell on the floor laughing.

Percy's mother walked in. "Kids, I was just in-" She noticed Percy wrapped in a cardigan and exclaimed. "Poseidon's Pants Percy!"
They looked at Percy's mum. Then at each other and then at his mum.
"Who's Poo-sigh-don?" Percy asked. His 4 year old friend tilted her head to one side. "And why do you have his pants?"
Sally closed up. "Never mind. He's some Greek god. They're not real. It's all mythology. Carry on playing."
As she left the two children looked at each other again. "She's hiding something." They both announced. Then his friend said. "And I know how we can find out."

"How?" Percy asked.

"From Mrs Krendall's books." She stated. "She's got to have one on Greek Mythy-whatever it was. She has more books than she does hair on her head"
Percy looked surprised. "No way, but her hair is so long."

His friend got a dreamy look on her face. "And soooo pretty. I wish my hair was that long."
Percy laughed. "You wouldn't have the patience to grow it that long" His friend scowled, which looked adorable on a 4 year old. "Yes I would." She said. "I'll show you, I will grow it that long and I won't cut it till you've seen it."
She pulled her cardigan off of him and walked out the door only stopping to say. "Come on!"
1 hour later, both children were lying on the floor over a huge book reading about the mass of Greek gods.
"Ooooh, look this one has the same name as you. Perseus." The friend pointed out.
Just then Sally walked in. "What are you up to?" She asked.

"Looking at Greek gods." They answered in unison. She seemed to pale slightly but she passed it off. "Oh yeah" She said. "Any you're related to." They both shook their heads sadly.

"No."

"Oh well." She consoled. "Any you want to be related to?"

"Poseidon!" They both yelled. Unnoticed to either of them, the water rose up out of the vase behind them and began to swirl as their excitement fuelled it.

Percy was pulled out of his memory by his friends shaking him.

"I'm awake, I'm awake." He sighed. "Wait, how are we already at the park?"

"You were daydreaming about something..." Piper said. "Anyways, you might wanna look up." She pointed behind Percy and with shock, he saw 3 lumbering giants coming at them.
Upon seeing that his dad had no idea what they were up against, he handed them their passes, explaining how they let mortals see passed the mist and go though magical barriers for up to 6 months. They took the tablets and then their eyes widened.
Percy pulled out his pen, ready to uncap it but he couldn't. Like a blur, a girl appeared in in front of them sword already in hand. She wore a skirt that ended just above her knees and leggings with a T-shirt.

"No" She said. "These ones are mine." Then they were all zapped by lightning and when they could see, they were in the top of a tree, overlooking the area occupied by the girl and the 3 giants.

"Woah." Jason said "How'd she do that, she must be a child of Zeus."

"No" Percy said. " I don't know how she did it, but she's not Zeus' kid. She's a daughter of Poseidon."

Because now he recognised her. It was his old friend.

DunDunDun! The cliffhangers still strike!
