Something Extra: Visiting

Percy stood in the kitchen with his mother. Even though she was a guest at his house, she had insisted on helping with the dishes. And Percy knew that one thing that would never change about his mother was her relentless work ethic.

"She's so sweet," Sally said, glancing at Clara, who was fooling around in the two feet of snow that blanketed the backyard. "You've raised her right."

Percy looked over at his mom, shutting off the water as he passed her the last dish to dry. "Thanks. That means a lot."

"Too bad she isn't…"

"Yeah," Percy confirmed sadly.

Well, this is just a little tidbit I did. And there was a reason. That's up to you to figure out, though.

Expect the next full chapter very soon. I managed to hurt my ankle during the race a few days ago, so I don't exactly have much better to do than write all day. Alot of you have been noticing certain... discrepancies. Just know that they are not mistakes; it will all be unraveled in the next few chapters. Until then, toodles!

Reviews/comments are always appreciated. You know you want to press it... you know you want to.
