Percy PoV
I walked all the way to my mom's apartment building, (I didn't have any money for a cab), and by the time I got there it was almost supper time. I stood on the sidewalk outside staring at the building. Mom wasn't expecting me back for a few weeks and I was wondering what she would say. I closed my eyes for a second. Two. Three. I then walked into the building, my hands shaking, my heart pounding. I forced myself to get into the elevator. I was alone in it. I pressed the button for my floor and the whole ride up I imagined my mom and Paul chewing me out for what I said to Annabeth and for leaving and for- the elevator went ding as I reached my floor and I walked down the hall. When I got to the door I hesitated an other second before knocking. Mom answered. She studied me for a second before telling me to come in. Closing the door behind me, mom pulled me into a warm hug.
"What brings you home?" Mom asked as she pulled away.
"I... uhhh... had to leave camp..." I mumbled.
"Why?" My mom asked.
"I do believe I helped cause a war, right in the center of camp. And gods knows that it between them, too." I replied, not looking at mom.
"How?" She asked.
"Me and Annabeth had a fight and-" I was interrupted by mom.
"Tell me you did not start a war because you broke up with Annabeth." My said with anger in her voice, but sorrow and concern in her eye's. When I nodded she face palmed so hard I'm not sure anything in Tartarus didn't hear it. Then she lead me to the couch in the living room and told me to explain everything, so I did. I explained how there was a the fight, what Grover told me about what was going on at the Big House and the fact that Athena had warned me not to do this.
"So that has been one of the crappiest days of my life. What was yours?" I said, almost like a joke.
My mom however laughed and said, "The day you disappear without telling me or leaving me any clue. That will be the crappiest day of my life."
I didn't respond to that, I didn't know how to. Thankfully Paul walked in the door just there. He stopped dead when he saw me. Then he looked at my mom, who was rubbing my back, then back again. "Why are you crying?" He asked
"Ummm... I'm not?" I asked more than stated.
"Yes, are Percy." My mom said gently. She handed me tissue and I wiped my face. Yes, I had been crying.
"What happen?" Paul asked.
"He and Annabeth had a disagreement. Looks like a war. Thinks they broke up." Mom gave the shortest version possible.
"Don't think. Know. She brought up Rachel and I brought up Luke. Then there was stuff about our parents. Somehow brought up she was bossy. And don't give me that look, she was being boss, telling me to shut up and leave her alone." Percy said.
"Result!" Mom exclaimed. "It's gonna be okay, cause now I know how to help."
"Or you could try asking me what type of flower's I'd like at my funeral and start praying for Hades to let you see me once in a while cause you know Athena and/or her cabin and Ares cabin will kill me." I suggested. Then I got up and left, going for a walk.
Poseidon PoV
I was walking around Olympus when Athena came up to me, "Your son broke up with my daughter. Make him apologize."
"He did what?" I asked, trying to keep calm. I'd heard their break up. She's pushed him to far. Over Coke no less!
"He broke up with her and I want an apology now." Athena confirmed.
"No, he didn't. She told him to leave, she broke up with him." I replied coldly.
"That's not what Ares said," Athena countered. "He said he Percy walked up to Annabeth and called her a bitch. Then dumped her."
"Not what happen. It was a small fight over coke that went to far. And it's none of our business, anyways." I countered.
"I'll make it our business if you don't have him apologize." Athena threatened.
"When Hades freezes over!" I replied and Athena stormed away with a huff and a 'prepare for war.'
I ran a hand through my hair and sighed. Over Coke. In rolled my eye's as I flashed out of Olympus and down to the sidewalk out front of the apartment building Percy was just walking out of.
"Hey," I called.
Percy looked up, a frown still on his face, a few stray tear's still sliding down his face. "What's up?"
"Not much. Athena's threatened war." I replied. "How about you?"
"Truthfully or are you just asking?" Percy asked and I laughed.
"You pick." I gave Percy a goofy smile, similar to the one's Percy was always flashing, and continued, "No wait, I know. Guess who I'm impersonating! 'I was just asking. Now bow down and kiss my donkey because I'm too busy thinking of ways to destroy you to stand still any longer!"' I said the last bit in falsetto.
"Huh... I can't begin to guess who..." Percy said, scratching his chin as if he was thinking.
"Percy. When are you gonna realize that's not a look we can pull off?" I asked. Percy now had a goofy smile on that matched mine and before I knew it we were both doubled over with laughter and getting funny look's from people. A few minutes and a couple thousand glares and/or funny looks later we had stopped laughing. "Now, if you think your ready to not laugh, how are you?"
"Well, let's see. Me and my girlfriend broke up and cause the pending war and I just told mom that I know, in the near future, Athena or her cabin with the help of Ares cabin will be smiting me while Annabeth most likely points and laughs. So not to good." Percy's frown return and it turns out it's contagious cause I was, too.
"They're not gonna do that." I said. Percy looked me in the eye's. "I won't let Them." I promised. He stared at me and I stared back. Then we hugged and I knew that ANYTHING happened to Percy I would personally smite those responsible. Yes, that includes Fan Girl Abducting and all that. Just sayin'. Oh and forget about all those picture's you Fan Girl keep drawing and approaching with lipstick. Yeah, I know about that.
As we pulled apart I heard Percy mumble thank you. I smiled, "Wanna go for a walk?"
Percy smile, "That would be awesome."
Looking forward to seeing this smack down...
Is that a bad thing?... ;)
I've just had this totally amazing idea!
I'm gonna make a poll for:
1. How Poseidon and Athena come outta this fight. (Smiles evilly!)
2. Percabeth. (You'll see! ;)
3. If Percy and Athena reach some agreement. (If Percabeth is voted for...)
AND
4. Where Aphrodite is in all of this.
I'll work on this for next chapter...
ANWAYS:
Hope your liking it so far, but I wouldn't KNOW what you think if you don't review or something.
Please? I don't need them like most people on here, but...
It would be nice IF I KNEW what you guys like and didn't.
Like a troop of demigods walking up to the gods and confiscating their little 'toys' (weapons)
*cough* *cough*
