Hi guys! Sorry for not updating for so long. Long 'holiday' now so I guess I can write almost every day. And update plenty too!
Prompt: Mermaids
Percy and Annabeth were hanging out by the beach as usual. The Second Titan War had just ended and they were having some 'quality' time when Percy suddenly thought of something.
"Hey Wise Girl. I was kinda wondering if…" Percy trailed off.
"If what?" Annabeth prompted.
"Since there are satyrs, centaurs, cyclops and all those creatures… are there mermaids too?"
"Um…" Annabeth thought for a while before saying, "I don't know."
Percy smiled slightly. "Wow. Annabeth doesn't know something. The apocalypse must be coming soon I guess."
Annabeth blushed slightly and hit Percy on the head playfully. "Shut up! Anyway, since your dad is the sea, and mermaids live in the sea, shouldn't you ask your dad instead?"
"Well… I've never really thought if it that way… Maybe I'll go ask him now. Bye Annabeth!" He gave Annabeth a peck on the cheek and ran away. Most probably to Iris Message his father.
Annabeth rolled her eyes and shook her head as she watched her boyfriend run off. "Jeez. Boys… so impatient."
The next day
Annabeth saw Percy eating a cheeseburger at his table.
Wow. He's early today, she thought walking over and sitting down next to him.
"So Seaweed Brain… Did you find out anything?"
"Actually, there was no need to ask my dad. I forgot that Triton is a merman. I remembered that fact on my way to my cabin. So I guess mermaids really existed after all." Percy shrugged.
"Gosh. You're so dense and forgetful. And you didn't bother coming back to the beach?"
"I thought that you had gone back to your cabin already."
"Well I haven't. I was just sitting there enjoying the sea breeze. And seaweed brain?"
"Mhm hmm?" Percy replied, his mouth full of food.
"Mind helping me ask your dad if manatees and dugongs are related to mermaids?"

This chapter's very short as I didn't know what to write. I had wanted to end at where the first day ends but I realised it was too short so I added another day in. Actually my original plot idea was something like Percy was watching The Little Mermaid and pisses Nico off with some random singing, yeah you get the idea. Maybe that idea was better… Anyway I hope you liked this chapter despite it's shortness. Maybe I'll even rush out another chapter later. Furthermore tomorrow's National Day! And next week is e-learning week so that will add up to thirteen days of no school including Hari Raya. Happy National Day to those who live in Singapore! Have a great weekend guys!
