Helloooooo, people of Fanfiction! I'm disappointed to see that NOBODY answered my chapter related question, and just my random question. Makes me sad that no one answered it, cause I seriously need-okay want-your opinion on this stuff! M'kay?

Oh, and Meg, if you are reading this-HI! Leave an anonymous review saying 'HI!' back, got it? X) Love you, my wonderful somehow-not-related twin of mine!

LOL, sorry to all you others who are confused.

My BFF who Meg is based off of is like my exact copy, except were flipped inside out. X) We're Yin and Yang, haha. I'm depressed on the outside, she's depressed on the inside. She's happy on the outside, I'm happy on the inside. See?

Chapter 17- The Son of Iris

"Seriously?" Annette nearly screamed, earning a few confused and weird looks thrown towards our lunch table, along with a smirking son of Hades that was trying hard not to laugh.

I sent a glare his way, telling him what should've been obvious. I was not happy about this.

"Yeah, seriously," I said with a sigh. "Sorry, Leanne, but I'll be late. I'll try and duck out of there as fast as possible though."

Leanne chuckled and shook her head. "No problem, Jaycee! We wouldn't want you to miss your date."

She seemed oddly okay with this….

The table was thrown into laughter as I buried my face behind my hand in shame. Laura looked at me, a little jealousy in her eyes.

"I wish I could go on a date. Even if I was forced into it," Laura sighed as Valerie lightly shoved her. But Valerie was bigger and stronger, and even a light shove knocked Laura off her chair and onto the floor.

"You always want to go on a date, or get a boyfriend," Annette rolled her eyes.

"I wouldn't be talking, Anne. We know you have a crush on Eddy Dubb," Leanne smiled as Annette turned as red as her fiery hair. Laura scrambled back onto her seat and decided to change the subject.

"So, how's the weather?" Laura asked, semi-serious as she took a bite of salad.

I raised my eyebrow at her. "Anyway-"

"What's he like?"

"What's he look like?"

"Does he like dogs?"

My new friends pounded me. They all leaned forward, anticipating what I was going to say. I sighed as I closed my eyes and split a blue chocolate chip cookie from Sally in half. I gave one half to Lana and the other to Meg as I took a bite into a whole one.

"He's…a prankster to say the least. He's tall, curly brown hair, shining blue eyes, older brother looks nearly exactly like him except taller. And I don't know if he likes dogs." I answered slowly, raising my eyebrow and cocking my head slightly to the side at that last one.

"His name's Conner, by the way. I'm surprised nobody asked for his name…."

Meg got a guilty look on her face as Lana and the rest of the table smiled slightly, though they had a plan going on…

Hmmm…..

I was walking up the stairs to our apartment with Lana and Meg when I heard it.

A low growl, some stumbled footsteps, the heavy breaths of man or beast. I shoved my bag to Lana and ran upstairs for my bow. The growling was coming closer and there was a strangled cry. I tripped on the last step and fell to the floor, landing on the face-first on the ground.

A patch of sunlight stretched down the hall from the window to my left. The growling monster was coming ever closer, the scrambling footsteps ever smaller, the breathing heavier than ever and slowing rapidly.

That's when it came closer towards me. A hellhound-luckily not the biggest hellhound ever-that just barely fit in the hallway, was on top a teenage boy with messy black hair who was wearing a white and black diagonally stripped hoodie.

The monster was growling, lowering its head to bite the teen's head off when I raised my hand, knowing the boy was a goner and I was too far away to help-not to mention defenseless, and looked away.

But when I looked back, the boy was standing, the monster pawing at its eyes as if it couldn't see anymore.

The boy was rubbing his own eyes with his hand like he might be going blind too.

I quickly scrambled to my feet as the boy-who had quickly recovered from his momentary blindness-ran his sword through the monster's chest as it rolled over slightly, shaking the building.

Meg and Lana scrambled up the stairs right when I got to the boy.

"Jaycee! Where did you go?" Meg called.

"Who are you?" I asked the boy. He looked familiar, and at first I thought it was Percy, but Percy wasn't wearing a hoodie today, plus he and Annabeth were taking a trip to Olympus to oversee some minor adjustments.

The boy had messy black hair, and pale-like blind pale-green eyes, and pale skin that looked as though it never had seen sunlight before.

He raised his sword defensively in the opposite direction. "Who's there?" His voice was shaky, and he was obviously scared.

"Hello? I'm to your right, and your sword's in the opposite direction," I answered confused. Was he really blind? I thought that was momentary. Maybe he started to see…then was confused and started to rub his eyes to see if it was true.

The boy turned sharply towards the sound of my voice, and placed the tip under my neck.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Not because you want to kill me, right?"

"I'm Jaycee Carter. I live in this building on this floor. Why would I want to kill a fellow demigod?"

He dug the point under my chin a little. "How'd you know I'm a demigod?"

"Dude, the sword kinda gave it away."

"Oh, right," He said sheepishly as he lowered the point. "I'm Noah White, son of Iris."

"Right, I'm a daughter of Apollo."

"I can tell. I may be blind, but everyone has an aura, and yours definitely screams the music god."

I crossed my arms. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. Your three friends are coming by the way."

Three?

I turned to see Meg, Lana-who was strangely blushing a light pink, either from rushing up here or because she thought Noah was cute, and Katie Gardener-obviously confused. She must've come out of our apartment thanks to all this noise we were making.

"Jay! What-were-you-thinking!" Lana said through gasps of air.

"Well, I heard a noise, came up here, helped this guy beat a hellhound, we talked a little, now you three showed up," I shrugged as if it were no big deal. Meg looked at me like I was crazy.

"What guy?" Meg looked around me, trying to spot someone. I turned around confused, but didn't find Noah behind me like he had been.

"I saw him! He had messy black hair and really pale skin, and great clothes!" Lana gushed, blushing even more with every word.

"Well, I didn't! And, frankly, right now, I don't care. I have my first date with Travis to worry about." Katie said using lots of hand gestures showing she was rather nervous.

I looked at Katie, an eyebrow raised. "At least you two will be actually talking," I mumbled.

"What was that?" She asked.

"Nothing."

Back in the apartment, Lana and Katie were rummaging through my closet, though why Lana was rummaging, I don't know. She knew every fabric that was in there, considering she helped pick it all out, not to mention pay for it all.

I was browsing through my Linkin Park albums, when I decided it was time to pull my prank.

"Guys, I'll be right back. You two can keep looking," I announced.

They didn't even glance at me.

"Uh-huh."

"Have fun. Be back soon, though."

I sighed as I exited the door and made my way quickly to Lana's room-where I know for a fact was a key ingredient to my plan.

I opened the door and went over to Lana's vanity which was piled with a couple nail polish bottles, some hair ties, some light make-up material, and…aha! Perfume bottles.

I smiled as I grabbed the girliest smell that made me gag. I covered my mouth and nose with my shirt as I quietly made my way out of our apartment and into the Blofis-Jackson residence. Sally must've been working, and Paul must've gone out.

I snuck into Percy's room with the bottle-my mouth still covered-and uncapped the bottle as I closed the door. I smiled inwardly as I started to spray it.

In total, I sprayed the whole room five times.

So, so, so,so...Review! NOW! I command you!

Naw, I'm kidding all you dudes out there. The only one I'm ordering to review is Meg :P

Anyway, The Serpent's Shadow! I'm nearly finished with it! So for my Random Chapter Question...

How do you all like The Serpent's Shadow? Or have you not gotten it yet?

Chapter Related Question! Please ANSWER!: Look at the Chapter Related Question on chapter 16.

Now, I shall answer my own Random Chapter Question from last chapter!

My favorite book...hmm...so many good books to choose from! It's nearly impossible! I'm surprised I even asked the question, haha. Well, I have no one specific favorite book, but here's my favorite series-es.

1. Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus

2. Harry Potter

3. The Hunger Games Trilogy

4. The Kane Chronicles

What was I going to-OH YEAH! Riordan is teasing us! Spoiler for TSS (The Serpent's Shadow)!: Drew and Lacey from The Lost Hero make an appearance in TSS! I was like 'Riordan, you menace! Stop teasing me, and just make a cross-over already!' They were seriously soooo close to finding out about each other.

And you knew it was the Drew and Lacey, because, guess what. Lacey's friends with Sadie and told Sadie that she and Drew go to a summer camp together every summer. Hmm, what summer camp could it be? *Fake Gasp*

So, I have another, rather serious, question to ask you all.

How would you like me, pjoroxs, to write a Kane Chronicles/Percy Jackson cross-over? Good or bad idea?

Well, that's all folks! Tune in next time!
