Me: WHHHOOOOOO! It's spring break! Go vacation!

Okay, now that I've got that out of my system, I'm glad to say that because it is spring break, I'll be able to update more regularly now.

Percy: Is that good?

Me: Are you stupid?

Percy: Well, no, not really...

Me: That was a rhetorical question, Percy. Gods, you're dull.

Anyways, the answer for the contest from last week was Jason if you haven't guessed and I want to give a huge shout-out to:

Percy's POV

The trip started quite uneventfully as we piled into the car and loaded our stuff into the ancient gray taxi's non to stable trunk. I remember the last time I had been there, with Annabeth screaming, Tyson being sick and three creepy ladies driving manically through the streets. Suddenly, I noticed a striking resemblance and cracked a smile.

Thalia, who had been rambling about books, looked at me with her piercing blue eyes and raised one eyebrow quizzically. I motioned that I needed something to write on and she quickly fished a notebook and pencil from her bag. She scribbled on it, then passed it to me.

What? She scrawled.

Nothing I wrote They remind me of someone, well, three someones that Annabeth and I met before

She read it and stared at the gods in concentration. Nico tapped on her shoulder and she passed him the note. He frowned and thought for a moment.

Who? Nico scribbled, quite literally as his writing was barely legible.

I began writing the answer but stopped as I noticed Thalia's eyes widen with understanding. She glanced at me, then the gods, then back. The gray sisters? She mouthed.

I nodded and Thalia burst out laughing, much to the confusion of the gods.

"What's happening back there?" Poseidon asked, glancing back.

"Nothing" We chorused, trying to keep a straight face but not quite succeeding.

My dad frowned, but decided not to ask. "Glad you're getting along so well." He said, Zeus and Hades nodding in agreement. My dad turned back to face the front and began to fiddle with the radio station, finally stopping on what sounded like beach music.

Hades groaned. "Gods Poseidon. Do you have no sense of music at all?" he said, stretching over to change the station to... Rock and Roll?

"You like that kind of music? It sounds like dying cats!" Zeus exclaimed.

"I know what dying cats sound like," Hades said, sounding rather annoyed at having his taste of music criticized "I also know what dying immortal little brothers sound like"

"Really?" Zeus asked, genuinely confused "Where did you hear those?"

"Well, I happen to live with one who if doesn't shut up in the next few minutes, will somehow find himself going to my realm. The hard way." Hades growled.

After that, Zeus decided not to argue and I made a quick mental note. Do not criticize the lord of the dead's taste of music unless you want to end up as one of the tortured souls in his underwear. I was just now beginning to understand what those poor souls had done to end up there.

We drove in silence after that. I dozed of once or twice and occasionally caught a glimpse of a large, horse like silhouette falling beside our car. Just as I was about to fall into a deep sleep, I jolted awake as the car screeched to a halt in front of a very familiar restaurants with a large glowing letter M.

McDonalds!

Thalia's POV

I staggered out of the car and looked up to see... "McDonalds?" I asked. What in the name of Hades were we doing there?

Nico looked at me. "What's wrong with McDonalds? They're great for raising the dead"

"But we're not raising the dead! We're going to eat there right dad...?" I trailed off as I noticed that my the breaded god was no where to be seen! "Dad?"

"Here, Thalia!" A guy called. I spun around to see a boy with a blue hoodie and bright blue eyes staring at me. My jaw dropped. "Zeus?" I asked in disbelief. As I looked at the blue clad teen, a rack of pain raced through me. He looked...

I swallowed, fighting back tears. He looked... like the little boy that had once raced around the house manically and tried to eat a staple because it 'looked good'. He looked like the person that had forever been lost the day we went on that unforgettable trip to that park, where I lost my the only person in my family that I cared about. He looked like Jason. The annoying little brother that I lost had forever. I tried to hide it from the others. I didn't need them to know what I was thinking about.

The guy nodded and didn't seem notice my pain. His blonde hair was falling into his eyes, and he grinned rather sheepishly. "We're decided that when we're at a public place, we're going to appear as teens or else it'll look a bit strange if the mortals saw 3 kids with dads that looked like they just walked out of a museum"

My cousins and I exchanged a glance as two more guys stepped out of the car. The one who appeared to be Poseidon had windblown black hair and sparkling green eyes that shone with amusement as he elbowed the other guy who had dark brown eyes and a unnaturally pale complexion. I took this to be Hades as he had a striking resemblance to his son who was now gaping open mouthed at the teen aged gods with a look of fascination.

"Shall we go eat?" Poseidon suggested.

Percy, who was also gaping shook himself and nodded. "One thing though" he said "It's should, not shall. Also, don't use stuff like thy and thee. You don't want to sound weird"

Poseidon looked thoughtful. "Okay, let me rephrase. How about this?" He cleared his throat. "Come guys, let's get a bite to eat"

Zeus and Hades snickered quietly but we all followed Poseidon into the restaurant.

"You guys order" I said quickly, "I'll go save us a seat"

They nodded and headed off to the counter while I went around to where the tables were. I chose a rather large one and sat, putting my bag and jacket down to mark that the seat was taken. I glanced at the group, wondering how long it would take and what they would order. My heart still ached from thinking about Jason but I pushed it aside. I had to be strong.

My thoughts were interrupted as there was suddenly a stir of movement and a figure sat down beside me. I turned, expecting to see Percy or Nico but instead found a boy with pale blue eyes and gelled white blonde hair.

"What do you want?" I growled, annoyed.

The boy raised one eyebrow "Cool it, Babe. I just want to talk"

My fists clenched. Mortals these days... "Don't call me that and leave. I'm saving this seat for my friends and you," I said, "Is not one of them."

"No, I'm not your friend" He replied, leaning in uncomfortable near. "I'm your greatest dream."

What in Hades? I shifted away and concentrated hard on not blasting the stupid mortal to bits. "Just leave me alone. Leave." I spat.

"Oh, I can't do that," The boy said, his cold eyes shining "I'm not done yet. I'm Luca. Luca Silvius"

I rolled my eyes. "Okay? Hello Luca Silvius, good bye Luca Silvius. Can you take a hint or are you too dim witted to understand?"

Luca's eyes flashed with anger. "You don't want to mess with me, Honey. I have friends, powerful friends." He came closer "Now give me a kiss sweetheart" He demanded, leaning in and pursing his lips in anticipation.

I winced as his sour breath hit me and as he leaned in with his big wet mouth, I lost it.

Crack!

Luca Silvius flew back, hitting a table and falling rather fittingly beside the trash. He looked winded but then cursed and began staggering towards me. "You'll pay for that!" He yelled, waving his fists angrily "You'll, you'll-"

"-Leave her alone" A cool voice said from beside me. I turned around to see Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Percy and Nico standing protectively around me. "Now leave" Zeus growled menacingly, his blue eyes flashing in anger.

And with that, Luca ran. Oh, he ran so fast that he was probably faster then one of Artemis's reindeer.

"Thanks" I murmured as we returned to our table. I reached for a burger.

"What did he want?" Nico asked, stretching across the table for a fry.

I grimaced. "A girlfriend" My cheese and bacon burger suddenly seemed a lot less appetizing.

Percy and Nico's eyes widen and the gods chuckled silently beside me. "And he asked you?" Percy asked incredulously.

I glared at him. "Your point being?" After that incident, I was itching to throw another lightning strike at someone but Percy, to my great disappointment, decided to stay silent.

We ate in silence for a while and I marveled at strange it was, eating lunch with a couple teen aged gods that were our parents, my cousins by my side. As I thought about it, there was really one thing I could say.

"Pass the ketchup will you?"

Thalia: Oh. My. Gods. The nerve of that stupid male-

Nico and Percy: *Snickers*

Thalia: Shut up or I'll do the same thing to you as what I did to Luca. I'll-

Me: Seriously? Can't I get though one authors note without you guys killing each other?

Thalia, Nico and Percy: Nope.

Thalia, Nico and Percy: Hey!

Thalia, Nico and Percy: Stop copying me!

Me: I swear on the river of Styx that I will personally send each of you to the underworld if you don't stop talking in the next 30 seconds.

Nico: You can't send me to the underworld because I am the son of-

Me: *Evil glare* You were saying?

Nico: * Gulps* Never mind.
