CHAPTER 5:
Juliet POV
As they explained, I started to understand what the weird creatures I always saw were. They said that I was a clear-sighted mortal, like Mrs. Blofis.
The others took a bit of convincing for them to believe them, such as the demigods showing us their powers.
When we were finally done with the explaining, Annabeth stood up from her spot in Percy's lap. Why couldn't I be the one in her spot? It wasn't fair.
"Percy and I will go tell Sally that we'll be leaving in a few minutes, and maybe help her with the blue cookies she was making." She said, hooking her arm through Percy's.
Piper saw my wistful expression. "I'm sorry, but there is no way that you can break them up." She said. What? How did she know? Oh yeah, daughter of Aphrodite. Darn.
Rebecca, Alex, Max and Sam knew of my crush on Percy and looked at me sadly. Then they turned to Piper. "What do you mean? Juliet's known Percy for like a year!" Sam protested.
Piper smiled. "Would you like to hear their story? I know it by heart because of my siblings." She said. They nodded. I didn't really, but I tuned in nonetheless.
She told us about how they met, how they sort of hated each other because of their parents, their first quest, their second quest, Percy's 3rd quest where he rescued her, how when he saw Aphrodite for the first time-she looked like Annabeth, their next quest together, their first kiss, Percy's time on Ogygia and how he came back for her, how she was his mortal point, his jealousy of Luke and her jealousy of Rachel, why dating wasn't weird for demigods, the Second Titan War, their first kiss as a couple, their underwater kiss, Percy going missing for 6 months, Annabeth searching relentlessly for him, the quest he went on without her, how the only thing he remembered of his past was her, the stables incident, FALLING INTO TARTARUS, surviving only because they had each other, the Second Giant War all the way up to today.
There was a stunned silence. I wanted to break them up still, but I knew that it would be hard because of their history.
Percy and Annabeth came back into the room with a plate of blue cookies and passed it around. They told us about their house, of which I was extremely jealous of, and told us that we should get going.
We drove to their house in near silence, and then gasped when we saw it. It was…
Percy POV
Spectacular! Really! It was!
There was a huge statue of all of the heroes from both wars in the front, which I found extremely cool. We walked in and gasped. IT WAS HUGE!
We all ran to find our rooms. There was a door that said 'PERCY AND ANNABETH' and I thanked every god for putting us in the same room. I pulled my darling Wise Girl into the room and she stopped in her tracks with her jaw on the floor when she saw the inside. It was pretty amazing.
There was a giant bed with gray and sea green covers in a fancy pattern, and gray and sea green throw pillows. Right above the bed, was 'Seaweed Brain' written in gray, and 'Wise Girl' written in sea green. The floor was wood with a shaggy black and white carpet. The walls were painted sea green and gray, and had quotes written on them in purple, I recognized a few of them as Annabeth's favorite quotes. There were a few pictures hung up in black and white frames, one of me and dad; one of me and mom; one of me and Tyson; one of Annabeth and Athena; one of Annabeth and her little brothers; one of me, Annabeth and Grover after our first quest; then the one of Annabeth kissing my cheek after the chariot races; the one of me, Annabeth and Thalia on a Olympus after holding the sky, with our gray streaks in our hair; one of us right after the Battle of the Labyrinth, we were both really sad, but managed to smile for the picture; there was one of us right after the Battle of Manhattan; there was one that Connor and Travis took without our knowledge of Annabeth kissing me at the dining pavilion; one that Leo took when we were in the stables, asleep; one right after we got out of Tartarus; one right after the war with Queen Dirtface was over; one of our silhouettes on the beach, with Annabeth resting her head on my shoulder; one that Hermes somehow got of me and Annabeth in Paris; and one Grover took without us knowing- we were both laughing, we looked so happy and completely in love. There was a huge flat-screen TV, and 2 Macbook Airs lying on our respective desks. There were two monster-proof iPhone 5Cs, mine was blue with a sea green case and hers was gray with a white case. They had our names written on them in Greek and in Latin and our parents' symbols on the back. Instead of the Apple sign, there was a Greek Delta. There was a connecting bathroom with two sinks, and decorated in black, white, silver and sea green. A huge bulletin board for Annabeth's designs was right above her desk, which made her smile. There was a small Jacuzzi in the corner that I was excited about. The closets had clothes, which, Thank Aphrodite, were all our style. The window had a view of the gorgeous outdoor pool. I wrapped my arm around Annabeth's waist and kissed her lightly.
"Do you like it Wise Girl?" I asked. She nodded, her eyes were bright with excitement and happiness, and she looked positively stunning. I kissed her again, and then we went to go see the others' rooms.
Thalia POV
walked into my room and dropped my bags on the floor in shock. The room was perfect. There was a small bed with silver and electric blue sheets. 'Thals' was written in silver above my bed. The connecting bathroom was also decorated with those colors. The flat-screen TV made me smile. "Hades yes!" I whispered to myself when I say my new Macbook Air. My new iPhone 5C was silver and had my name written in Greek and Latin, and had a lightning bolt sign and a picture of the moon on it, with a Delta sign in place of the Apple sign. The case was electric blue. There were a few pictures hanging on the walls, in black frames. One of me and Annabeth right after I was de-treed; one of me, Annabeth and Percy on Olympus after they held up the sky; one of me and all the Hunters; one of me, Percy and Annabeth getting burgers after the Battle of Manhattan; one of me and Jason right after I found him; one of everyone after the Giant War; and one from a long time ago, of me, Annabeth and Luke-that one made me cry a little. My closet had a bunch of clothes that were HALLELUJAH! My style!
Annabeth and Percy came barging into my room, and they eagerly showed me their room, which was pretty sweet. We went to go find Jason after that.
Jason POV/p
My room was so cool! The walls were sky blue and had clouds painted on them, so it seemed like I was flying. The bed had sky blue sheets and white and blue throw pillows. Right above the bed, was 'Sparky' written in white. The connecting bathroom was decorated with white, silver and sky blue and had a hot tub in it. My desk had my brand new Macbook Air on it, and my new iPhone 5C, which was sky blue and had my name written in both Greek and Latin, with a lightning bolt on the back, and a Delta sign also. There were a bunch of pictures on the walls, one of me and Reyna, a few years ago; one of me and Thalia after we first met; one of me and Leo fist-bumping after our first quest; one of me and Piper shyly holding hands after our first quest; one of me, Piper, Leo and Annabeth standing in front of the Argo II after it was officially finished; one of me and Percy, both in our Praetor togas; one of me and Piper kissing; one of all of us after the war was over; one of me and Piper flying through the skies; and lastly, one of me and Thalia after a Capture the Flag game against the Hunters, with me giving her a piggy back ride, and her laughing like crazy. Wow, memories.
Thalia, Annabeth and Percy knocked on my door and showed me their rooms. We went to find Leo after that.
Leo POV
My room was so HOT! Yes, I am so punny. The bedspread and sheets were all a flaming yellow-orange color, and the walls were a soft orange that made me smile. 'Repair Boy' was written in a flaming font in red right above my bed. A huge flat-screen TV was hung up against the wall. The bathroom was decorated in gold and orange, and had a hot tub. Yes, a HOT tub for the smoking HOT Leo. My desk had a new Macbook Air on it, I'd have to make a few more adjustments later, to make it more SMOKING HOT. My iPhone 5C was orange and had a red case, with my name written in Greek and Latin, a fiery hammer on the back, and a Delta sign also. In the corner of my room was a little space for all my tools and current projects. On the walls, in gold frames, we a bunch of pictures, on of me and my mom when I was little, which made me cry; one of me, Jason and Piper after our first quest; one of Festus, which made me cry more; one of me, Jason, Piper and Annabeth standing in front of the Argo II after it was fully completed; one of me and Jason fist-bumping after our first quest; one of me on FIRE; and one of all of us when the war was over.
Jason, Thalia, Percy and Annabeth walked into my room, and I hastily wiped my eyes.
"You okay, there, Repair Boy?" Jason asked me cautiously. I nodded, and we went to go find Piper.
Piper POV
I took a deep breath before entering my room. I was shocked, my mom hadn't made it super girly! In fact, it was perfect! The bedspread was purple, silver and black, and the walls were purple. Above my bed, 'Pipes' was written in a color changing paint, that went from pink, to purple, to blue, to green, etc. A giant flat-screen TV was against the way. The bathroom was decorated in purple and silver, and the carpet was black and fluffy. My clothes were all my style, thank gosh, and on my desk was a brand new Macbook Air. My new iPhone 5C was purple with a black and silver case, and my name written in Greek and Latin, with a dove and Delta sign on the back. On the walls, in silver and black frames were a bunch of pictures. There was one of me and Jason holding hands shyly after our first quest; one of me and Repair Boy laughing like crazy; one of me, Annabeth and Hazel on the Argo II; one of me, Jason, Leo and Annabeth standing in front of the completed Argo II, one of me and Jason kissing; and one of everyone after the war was over. What a trip down memory lane.
Jason, Leo, Percy, Thalia and Annabeth came into my room, showed me theirs, and then we went to find Frank.
Frank POV
My room was perfect. The bedspread was red, and above the bed, the word 'Beastie' was written in black, which made me smile. The bathroom was decorated with bronze and red. A huge flat-screen TV was placed on the wall, and on my desk laid a new Macbook Air, and an iPhone 5C that was red with a gold case, and my name written in Greek and Latin, a spear and a Delta sign on the back also. Hanging on the walls, in gold frames, were a collection of pictures. One was of me, Hazel and Percy after our first quest together; one was of Hazel kissing me afterwards; one was of all the Seven and Coach on board the Argo II; one was of everyone after the war; one was me with my bow and arrow; one was me and my mom and my grandmother; and one was me as a dragon, which was pretty cool.
A moment later, Percy, Thalia, Jason, Piper, Leo and Annabeth showed up, and we walked to Hazel's room together.
Hazel POV
My room was practically perfect in every which way. The walls were gold and brown, with a bedspread that matched. Written above my bed were the words 'Goldi,' which made me laugh. My connecting bathroom was decorated with gold and brown also. The flat-screen TV, which I had no idea how to use, was hanging on the wall. On my desk, was a Macbook Air, which I had no idea how to use also, and an iPhone 5c that was gold and had a brown case.

Just then, I heard a knock on my door. I opened it, to find Jason, Piper, Frank, Percy, Annabeth, Thalia and Leo. I showed them my room, which they thought was amazing. Then, we went to go find Nico.
Nico POV
My room was epic. The walls were white with black splatters on it, which looked totally cool. The carpet was the opposite-black with white splatters. My bedspread was black, white and gold. 'Death Breath' was written in black over it, which was a funny touch to add to it. A flat-screen TV hung on the wall. The bathroom was decorated in gold and black.

Stolls POV
The room was so insanely epic, our heads almost burst. There was a bunk bed, and Travis got top. The sheets were brown and green; and had 'Thing 1' and 'Thing 2' written above in green paint. The walls were brown, giving the room a cozy feel. The bathroom had two sinks and was decorated with bronze and brown.

Right then, Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, Leo, Piper, Jason, Hazel and Frank burst into the room. They properly ooh-ed and ahh-ed at our room. Then we went to go see Katie's.
