(P.S- remember disclaimers are different from the mainline story. Go read now!)
Piper's POV
Inside the Throne Room, the Gods were quite busy.
Zeus and Poseidon were debating on raging a war on each other. Athena was fed up trying to talk some sense into them and was eating olives and reading a book on Quantum Physics. Hera looked bored and was playing paper toss on Zeus' head. And whenever she hit the target, Zeus would glare at her but she'd just glare back and dare him to say anything. He'd just ignore her and continue his talk with Poseidon who would burst out stuff like "Great shot sis!" or "Do that again!"
Appolo was reciting a poem to Artemis who was thinking which of her arrows should she use to graze through his skin. Hephaestus was typing on his laptop and was screaming 'Eureka!' now and then. Ares was checking his reflection in the sword and Aphrodite was on phone, gossiping with Helen from Elysium (which I don't think she deserves for starting the Trojan War. Stupid girl.) about some actress' afairs.
Demeter was tuning in on some environmentalist's radio show and seemed like she was gonna blow a casket. Dionysus' place was empty. He was probaby at the camp, organising the feast... or maybe he drank too much Diet Coke and had a bad stomach. Hermes' was looking like a workahollic. He was typing on his laptop from one hand and was answering the phone from the other. He had many files opened on his lap and he seemed like he would have rather hold the sky than do his job. He then looked up at Artemis who still had a streak of white hair from her previous try of holding the sky.
"Hmm..." he thought. "My work doesn't sound so bad."
In short, a typical noon for The Gods of Olympus... Unless Luke and I stormed through the doors. Everyone was now staring at us.
I didn't like all the attention and fidgeted. All that came from my mouth was- "Hey! Hello my grandfather, grandmother, mother, uncles and aunts and-"
"Ok, Piper. I think they got it," Luke said.
"Piper?" Aphrodite blinked. "What are you doing here? And who do we have here?"
"Hi Aunt Aphrodite! It's me Luke, Hermes' son. Remember how I tried to destroy you all three years ago?" Luke said.
"Oh right. That kid. Now I just want you to promise me one thing if you wanna live... Don't ever call me Aunt! It makes me sound old!"
"Um... yes mam. Sorry mam," Luke said.
She smiled and said, "Good. So are you dating my beautiful daughter here?"
"No!" Luke and I said at the same time, blushing and stepped away from each other.
"Aww! They are so adorable!" Aphrodite said.
Ares looked like he was gonna puke and others just looked bored.
"Hey Hermes," Demeter said, elbowing him. "Your son is here!"
"Yeah yeah. Hello there son. How are you? I'll send you video game for Christmas. Now go back to your mommy," Hermes said, his eyes on his laptop.
"See that? And you were blaming me to get infuriated," Luke said.
Hermes suddenly looked up, got startled and dropped his phone, laptop and the files.
"Luke? Oh Luke!" Hermes shrunk to human size, came towards us and clasped Luke in a bear hug. "My favourite son! How are you doing? Vow! You seem like you have been working out. You know I was thinking, maybe we should have some father-son bonding time this weekend. How about a fishing trip? Or maybe a Football Match. You like football right?"
"Dad, jhu are nof good af fhis," Luke said, strangled.
"Did somebody just said fish?" Poseidon asked, actually listening for the first time.
Hermes released him and asked, "What?"
"You are not good at this," Luke said.
Hermes looked at him and seemed like he was gonna cry. He suddenly got on his knees and caught hold of Luke's leg and said, "Please! Don't blow the Olympus up! My brothers and sisters are gonna kill me this time!"
"Oh boy!" I said, staring at Hermes. "You have got your father on the edge," I told Luke.
"Fine! I won't do anything! Just release my leg!" Luke said desperately. Hermes released his leg and went to work again.
Then I walked to Zeus, kneeled on my knees and said, "We're here to invite you all to the Christmas Feast at Camp Half-Blood."
"And what if I were to deny it?" Zeus asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"You can't," Apollo said.
"And why is that?" Zeus asked.
"Because my oracle's got a prophecy," he said.
Everyone groaned in the room.
"Not another prophecy!" Hera said.
"Oh c'mon! Atleast the rhyming part is pretty awesome right?" Apollo asked.
"What is the prophecy?" Zeus asked.
Apollo cleared his throat and recited the prophecy like a nusery kid poem,
"On the cheery Christmas eve,
a feast is set that all shall creeve.
Gods and Half Bloods shall share the bread.
And those who do not oblige shall drop dead."
Weary silence...
"We accept the invitation," Zeus said.
"Wait, is that it?" I asked.
"You heard the prophecy, girl," Zeus sneered. I sensed that Zeus was angry at me. Ofcourse he would be... After what I did to his son... or didn't do as a matter of fact...
"No, I mean... wouldn't you all vote on if you should kill us or not? Percy told me that you do that everytime he visits here," I said.
"Hmm... tempting..." Zeus said.
"Oh shut it Zeus! This is my son's bestie. Don't even dare touch her," Poseidon said and winked at me.
"You! I'm not done with you! Where were we now..." Zeus said and the two started agruing again.
Luke tugged at my T-shirt and said, "Let's go before you give him anothe idea to kill us Miss Suicidal."
We turned on our heels and were just exiting The Throne Room. I had this crazy thought in my mind that one day I would return here again with Jason and when my mom asks us if we are dating... I'd blush and nod... Zeus would probably still want to incinerate me though. This would never happen. Why was I keeping my hopes up...
"Because you are my daughter, Piper." I looked around and saw it was Aphrodite talking. The other Gods had now reengaged in their previous activities and weren't paying attention. Luke just stood there, confused about the silent exchange between me and my mother. "You see possibilities much more vividly than others. You see what could be. And it still might be. Don't give up."
I smiled and with a newly fired hope in my heart, we headed for home...
