Epilogue Part 1

Don't go telling me that this chapter was unnecessary. I really wanted to do a random thing like this, 'kay?

Percy's POV

Today was the day after we became minor gods, and the adults were quitting their jobs. Annabeth was going to suggest that Hannah should take her place. I appeared near the aquarium using my new godly powers (awesome) and walked through the doors of the aquarium one last time as an employee.

I went straight to my boss's office. When I entered, he looked up and greeted me, "Dr. Jackson, it's been a while since you were in here last."

"You will most likely never see me in here again," I said.

He frowned, "Why is that?"

"I'm quitting," I answered.

"WHAT?!" he asked, "Why?"

"My father offered me a better job," I answered truthfully.

"And what is that?" he asked, unhappy.

"I can't tell you," I sighed.

"Why is that?" he asked.

"You wouldn't believe me," I smiled, "I came here to quit, and you're not going to change my mind."

"But you're my best employee!" he whined.

"Mr. Hamm, I'm quitting," I stated firmly, my eyes flashing.

He was intimidated by my new godly power, "Here – Here's the form," he said shakily. I filled it out (I no longer had ADHD and dyslexia since I was a minor god). He got up, "I need to make a phone call," he mumbled.

I finished the form and left it on his desk. He'll see it. When I left his office, Dr. Jones approached me, "Why did you quit? You love this job."

"My father offered me a better job," I repeated.

"What job?" he asked curiously.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance, "It has to do with sea creatures."

"You are a very confusing man, Dr. Jackson," Dr. Jones said.

"How so?" raising an eyebrow, I asked.

"The sea creatures love you here, it seems like you can talk to them, you jump in a tank full of sharks to separate a shark fight without an oxygen tank, and you quit your favorite job," he answered, counting off the things on his fingers

I didn't have an answer to that. Someone I knew noticed, and they came to help me, "Is there a problem here?" I turned to see my father, but he looked older; old enough to be my dad.

"No, sir," Dr. Jones answered.

"Hey, Dad," I greeted. Dr. Jones looked between us.

"This is your father, the guy who offered you a better job?" he asked, frowning.

"Yes, and I would appreciate it very much if you stopped quizzing him," Poseidon said, his voice calm, but his eyes told Dr. Jones otherwise. I smirked, "Come, Percy." I followed him out the door.

Dr. Jones's POV

This aquarium is amazing when you walk through the door. You're suddenly in a tunnel that has fish all around it. As Percy and his dad walked through this tunnel, the fish and sharks swam to the glass. Percy smiled at a few fish, and those fish looked like they were trying to do something. It looked like they were attempting to bow. I will never understand my ex-co-worker, but I do know that there is something different about him.

Sophia's POV

We were going back to school today; the day after the adults quit their jobs. School! Mom led us down Olympus, and as she did so, Hallie and I tried to convince her to not make us go, "Why can't Athena tutor us? Maybe even you?! Somebody?"

"I'm sorry girls, but a deal's a deal. You were going to become minor goddesses on the condition you went to regular school. The other kids have to go too; they're right behind us," Mom said.

I looked over my shoulder and sure enough, there were Greg, Stella, and Tanya with their moms. They looked like they were trying to do the same thing as us, "They're equally as unhappy," Hallie noticed.

"Many kids are when they have to go to school," Mom dismissed, "I think you'll like your ride to school, though."

We waited at the elevator for the others and went down. When the doors opened to the lobby of the Empire State Building, we all stepped out. The guard at the desk tipped his hat as we passed. I wanted to see this ride that we had to school that Mom thought we would like. We went outside and I was surprised at the car waiting for us.

A chauffer was waiting beside the door of a black limousine. I gaped at the car and turned to my mom. She was smiling at me, and I returned the smile, "This is so AWESOME!"

"Your limo awaits, my Ladies," Mom said. The chauffer opened the door and Hallie, Greg, Stella, Tanya, and I climbed in. Our moms waved bye (so embarrassing) and the chauffer closed the door.

"This is so cool!" Stella squealed.

"We are Ladies…and Lord now," Tanya pointed out.

"I can't wait to see the look on Jolene's face," I grinned.

"Who's Jolene?" Stella asked.

"She's the most popular girl at Sophia's school. Every guy falls for her auburn hair, ivory skin, and emerald eyes, except for Greg. That made her angry, she kissed him, Sophia slapped her, and they haven't seen each other since," Hallie explained for me. Stella and Tanya burst out laughing when they heard I slapped her.

"That day we had our first kiss," Greg smiled at me. I blushed at the thirteen year olds' 'Oo's.

Just to annoy them, I turned and gave Greg a soft kiss on the lips, "Get a room!" Tanya shouted, throwing a pillow of cloud at us.

"Hey; no using powers!" I reprimanded when I broke away from Greg, "Do you want to be as dumb as a doorknob?" Stella, Tanya, and Hallie all shook their heads at the same time. I smirked.

They dropped us off at school first since high school starts before middle school. Heads turned as our limo stopped and our chauffer got out. People gawped and stared as he opened the door for us. Greg stepped out first and held out his hand for me to take. I took it and he pulled me out. I adjusted the straps on my backpack and walked up to my school for the first time in a few weeks.

Ashley rushed over to us, and a few lingering eyes watched. Jolene was glaring at me, much to my great satisfaction. Ashley drew my attention to her, "What was that all about?"

"I don't know. Lord Greg?" I asked, smiling.

"I think it is something about being minor gods, Lady Sophia," Greg answered.

"You're what?!" Ashley practically screamed, drawing more attention.

"Shh!" Greg and I hissed at the same time.

"You use awesome powers to save me and become minor gods?!" she hissed.

"Basically," I shrugged.

"That explains the expensive clothes," Ashley said, looking us up and down, "You both look like you just stepped out of a magazine."

I looked myself up and down. I looked back to Ashley and said, "Aphrodite dressed us. We're her Barbie and Ken dolls. We're also her favorite couple." I smiled at Greg.

"So…what are you minor gods of?" she asked as we walked to first period. Greg was in a different one than us, sadly. But he was in our next class!

I answered her first, "I am the Minor Goddess of Learning."

Greg answered next, "I am the Minor God of Archery."

"And you're going to school when you could be tutored by the smartest woman on the planet?" she asked.

"That's what I said!" I exasperated, "I could be taught by my grandmother…or second cousin…"

"And I could've been taught by my great aunt…weird how we're sort of related but not technically," Greg added.

"Your family history is messed up," Ashley sighed as Greg entered his first period, but not before I gave him a kiss goodbye.

"We know," we said at the same time, smirking. Ashley and I walked to our period, and I began my first day at school as an immortal minor goddess.

Does anyone realize where I got the idea of Jolene? I'll give you a virtual cookie if you get it right!
