ANNABETH'S POV

Thalia, Nico, Percy, Lexia, Lyrical, Frank, Hazel and I were sitting in our living room watching Percy's copy of Disney's Hercules. It was the only movie we had, and Lexi insisted that we watch it. Kaine, Thalia and I we on the couch, not paying attention to the movie. Kaine was asking us questions about our demigod-ness, which we were happy to answer.

"What's Camp Half-Blood?"

I smiled, "The best place in the world. It's the only safe haven, except for Camp Jupiter, for demigods. Camp Half-Blood is the camp for Greek demigods, and Camp Jupiter is the camp for Roman demigods."

Kaine nodded, "Will I go there?"

Thalia shrugged, "If you want. Since your mom's a minor goddess, your scent isn't very strong, so you won't have to deal with many monsters."

"Oh. Do you have cabins there?"

"Yeah. You sleep in cabins according to your godly parent. I share a cabin with all of my brothers and sisters. I'm head counselor for Cabin 6. Thals has her cabin to herself when her brother Jason, isn't at camp. If you decide to go to camp, you'd share a cabin with your brother Seth, and your sister Amber. Amber is head counselor, but she's only 12. She'd be glad to hand the position to you."

"Wait. If Annabeth's head counselor, who's in charge when you're here?"

"Annabeth's brother, Malcolm. He's the one who first noticed Annabeth and Percy's 'feelings' for each other. They were clueless for a long time."

Annabeth blushed, "Shut up…"

Kaine laughed, "What does camp look like?"

"Well, you go past Thals' pine-"

"Thalia's what?"

Annabeth smiled, "Her pine. Thalia was a tree for about 6 years. She almost died, and then her dad had pity on her, so she turned into a tree. Then her tree got poisoned, and Percy, Tyson, and I found the Golden Fleece- Yes, the Golden Fleece- and she turned into a human."

"Oh. Okay then."

KAINE POV

Wow. I'm half god. I'm kind of freaking out. I went to go use the bathroom, and came back to Annabeth, leaning her head on the couch, a dazed look on her face. I cocked an eyebrow at Thalia, who snickered.

"What's she doing?" I asked Thalia.

Thalia smirked, "She's in her happy place."

"What?"

"Annabeth's daydreaming about Percy's abs. We started talking about this time we were at the lake at Camp."

"Oh. She doesn't seem like that type of girl."

"Annie's got her soft, girly side."

Thalia snapped her fingers under Annabeth's nose, who jumped out of her skin. Thalia smirked, "Go sit with him, we know you want to."

Annabeth blushed, and crawled off the couch. She promptly sat in front of Percy, so he was straddling her. She leaned back, her head resting in the crook of his neck, and Percy protectively wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Awww…" I sighed, "There's just so adorable…"

Thalia chuckled, "Yeah… Even I'll admit it, they're pretty cute. People had been trying to get them together since they were twelve."

"Wow."

"Percy's mom just about died when they told her they were dating."

"She doesn't like Annabeth?"

"Hades no. She loves Annabeth. Sally almost died of excitement. I think she's already started planning their wedding."

"We heard that," Percy said, from the floor.

"I know. I want popcorn. I'll be back," and with that, Thalia left.

The rest of the night was a blur. I can remember Thalia coming back with the popcorn, Nico disappearing for a little while, and a sense of belonging. This was the first time I'd ever felt excepted.

THE NEXT MORNING, ANNABETH POV

I woke up the next morning with my head on Percy's chest, and his arm, wrapped tightly around me. Kaine walked in from the bathroom, screamed, "Kodak moment!" and snapped a picture of us on her phone, all before I could even move. Kaine's scream sent Thalia into battle mode, she snapped up from the floor, and unsheathed her dagger from her belt.

Kaine stepped back, hands up in surrender, "Woah, Thals, don't maim me."

Thalia sighed of relief, and stuck her knife in the sheath on her belt. I was still in Percy's arms, trying, and failing to move without waking him up.

I sighed, and flipped Seaweed Brain, freeing me from his grasp. All Percy did, was groan and go back to sleep.

Thalia snorted, "He's such a deep sleeper… I know what will wake him up though."

I nodded, "Blue pancakes. Sally gave me her recipe."

"Yes!"

I grinned, "But we're waking Lexi up. She and Lyrical are the only ones who can cook. Since Lyrical's not a morning person, Lexi must cook for us."

Thalia knelt down next Lexia, "Lexi, Connor's here."

Lexia bolted up, grabbing a blanket and wrapping herself up with it, "What? Where?"

I laughed, "Conner's not here. We need you to make blue pancakes, I have Sally's recipe."

"Okay. I'm going to IM Connor later, though. He texted me last night, asking me to."

Lexia skipped into the kitchen, after I gave her the recipe.

Kaine raised an eyebrow, "You guys IM?"

Thalia nodded, "It's not what you think. We Iris Message."

"What?"

"I'll show you. Annie, where's the spray bottle?"

"Kitchen. I'll take one of Percy's drachmas." (I'm sorry if that's spelt wrong, I'm traveling and I don't have WiFi)

I went into the boy's pigsty, and dug around in Percy's backpack until I found a little leather pouch, filled with the gold coins. I took one, and walked back into the living room, stepping over Hazel.

Thalia was standing next to the window, the sun was rising. As she saw me, she started spraying, and I flipped the coin through the rainbow.

"Oh goddess, except my offering. Show me Sally Jackson."

Sally appeared, drinking coffee, and reading the newspaper.

"Aunt Sally!" Thalia squealed, "Hi!"

Sally put down her paper, "Girls! It's good to see you! How's my baby?"

I chuckled, "He's currently drooling on the floor."

Sally laughed, "Of course…"

"Sally, we got another demigod, and we're showing her everything, and she wanted to see IMing. Sally, meet Kaine O'Connolly, daughter of Hemera. Kaine, meet Sally Jackson, Percy's mom."

Kaine smiled, "Hi Mrs. Jackson. It's nice to meet you."

"Hello sweetie. Are you going to Camp?"

I replied for her, "We don't know yet. We'll have to talk to her dad."

I heard Mr. Blofis' voice in the background, and Sally sighed, "Girls, I have to go, Paul can't find his tie."

I nodded, "Percy will be disappointed he missed you."

"Just give him a kiss for me. See you later."

"Bye Aunt Sally!" Thalia yelled.

I waved a hand through the mist, "And that, is Iris Messaging."

Kaine's eyes widened, "That was so cool!" What was that coin you put in the rainbow?"

"It's a drachma. It's our money system. We use them to buy stuff at Camp, Iris Message, or bribe Travis and Connor into stealing us stuff," Thalia explained.

"Travis and Connor?"

"Hermes kids. They like to prank, steal, and annoy people; namely Katie Gardener, a daughter of Demeter, who is also Travis' girlfriend."

"Oh. Is Camp fun?"

Thalia looked shocked, "Is Camp fun? Is Camp fun? Kaine, is the grass green?"

Kaine blushed, "Well, yeah. I've been to summer camp before, and I didn't really like it."

"Well, this camp is much better than any other camp. Basically, it's all kids. We have two adults at the camp, Chiron, a centaur, and Mr. D. Chiron is our activities director, and he's great. Mr. D., on the other hand, is a god. He's Dionysus. He's not so nice," Thalia said.

Thunder boomed, and Thalia yelled up the sky, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'm sorry, you're the nicest god I've ever met! You're a joy to be around!"

Kaine gave me a look that said, 'Is she crazy?'

I laughed, "The thunder was Mr. D. He's insulted that Thalia doesn't think he's nice."

"Oh. So, you've met gods? Cool!"

I smiled, "It's not as cool as you'd think. Most of the time they're deciding if they should kill us."

Kaine looked shocked, "That's… Lovely."

We were interrupted by a yell from the kitchen, "Annabeth! The stove's on fire!"

I was about to run into the kitchen, when Lexia yelled again,

"Never mind! I fixed it! Blue pancakes are ready!"

Percy's head shot up from his pillow, "Blue pancakes?" He then ran into the kitchen, Nico at his heels. Hazel, was trampled, and groggily woke up,

"Ow."

I laughed, "Blue pancakes."

Hazel nodded, "Oh… I get it."

Frank was the next to get up, and he walked with Hazel into the kitchen. Soon it was just Lyrical, sleeping on the sofa. Thalia promptly sat on her, and Lyrical woke up to Thalia's butt in her face.

"Eww… Thals, get your butt off me!"

"Never!" Thalia screamed.

Lyrical rolled off the couch, and Thalia fell, face planting into the carpet.

We walked into the kitchen, to find Percy devouring his pancakes, syrup all over his face. I kissed his cheek,

"That's from your mom."

"You talked to my mommy?" Percy gasped.

"Yeah, Seaweed Brain. We showed Kaine how to Iris Message." I explained.

"Oh. I want to go swimming!" Percy yelled.

Lyrical nodded, "Me too. The building has a pool outside."

Thalia shook her head, "Nico and I shouldn't go. I don't know how your dad would react."

"My dad doesn't care. He like you guys. It's your dad who has a problem with Nico and I."

Thalia shrugged, "Okay. I'll go."

Nico nodded, "Same."

We finished eating, and changed into swimsuits. I had a teal bikini, and put on a pair of jean shorts and a loose white T-Shirt over it.

I walked back into the kitchen, Percy and Frank sitting at the table. Percy pulled me onto his lap, kissing my neck.

"Hey Seaweed Brain, how'd you sleep?"

"Good. What about you?"

"I slept okay. I think your mom misses you."

Percy smiled sadly, "The last couple of years have been hard on her; the Titan war, then me going missing, then the Giant War."

I nodded, "Yeah. I'm glad we're back to normal. No giants, no titans."

"It's sad that this is our normal."

"It sure is, Seaweed Brain, it sure is."

Lyrical, Lexia and Hazel walked into our apartment, ready to go. Next came Nico, then finally Thalia.

We took the elevator down to the pool, Thalia carrying our passkey. The pool was a large oval, complete with a hot tub. I took off my shirt and shorts, and laid out on a chair, Thalia next to me. I put in my ear buds, and started listening to my audiobook version of 'Catching Fire.'

KAINE'S POV

I jumped into the pool, my light blonde hair flying behind me. As everyone else took off whatever they were wearing to cover-up, I instantly felt self-conscious. Everyone was muscular, and had deep tans. I have a dancer's body, slim, with long and lean limbs. Even the girls had abs, and well defined muscles, and the guys, for lack of better wording, were ripped.

My lean frame defiantly stuck out.

My thoughts were interrupted by Percy and Nico, standing in the corner, snickering. I swam over,

"What are you two doing?"

Percy grinned, "We're plotting."

Nico rolled his eyes, "We're trying to figure out a way to get the girls in the pool."

I smirked, "Just go pick them up, and jump in. Easy."

They both grinned evilly, "Perfect."

They pulled themselves out of the pool, and to my shock, Percy was dry. Perfectly dry.

The boys walked over to their girlfriends, Percy took Annabeth's ear buds out of her ears, and picked her up bridal style, Nico doing the same with Thalia. Both girls were vicious, kicking, throwing punches and screaming.

"DI ANGELO! YOU BETTER PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT! I WILL KILL YOU!"

Nico just laughed, and Thalia glared at him. Nico suddenly yelped, "Thals! No powers, that's not fair!"

Percy and Nico jumped into the pool, carrying their respective girlfriends. Nico and Thalia came up a second later, Thalia's makeup from last night, dripping all over her face, she was fuming.

Thalia started curling her fingers into a fist, "Oh, you'll regret that. Taste voltage!"

Nico involuntarily started shaking, electricity charging through him, "Thalia stop! Deep breaths!"

Thalia's eyes widened, "Oh my gods. I'm so sorry! I could've kill you! Oh my gods… I need to control my anger issues…"

"You're fine, I'm fine. It's all good."

"Um… Guys? Percy and Annabeth haven't come up yet!" I called.

Thalia waved it off, "Percy's just showing off. Their probably making out."

Sure enough, as I looked down into the water, Percy and Annabeth were kissing in a bubble. Weird, but oddly romantic.

As Percy and Annabeth resurfaced, Percy asked, "What'd we miss?"

Nico shrugged, "Thalia electrocuted me."

Percy just nodded, "Been there."

I was getting used to a new normal.

A/N:

ALOHA YOU FABULOUS PJO PEOPLES!

So, there's a new chapter… I'm going on vacation, and I have no idea how much I'll be able to write. It's a decent sized car ride, so I'll be writing then for sure.

So, I made it over 2k words! YEAH!

Leanne and Kaine have been claimed… I'm thinking that I'll be wrapping this up in… 5 chapters maybe? Maybe less…

But, I do have a thought bubble for a new story…

I was thinking that maybe we could have mortal parents go to CHB for a week or so, because Chiron wants them to understand what their children go through, since a lot of demigods don't come from great homes. It'd be full of Percabeth and epic Sally-ness… ;)

I asked for 110 reviews, and I got 129! EPICAL!

So, let's try for 150 REVIEWS?

The 150th reviewer gets a PJO one-shot!:)

Peace, Love, and Percy Jackson,

Lexia Daughter of Athena
