Me: I loved Terri M and What She Doesn't Know ideas so much I couldn't choose.

So I combined them.

Because I'm awesome enough to do that. Remember, this is in the year 2007 or 2008. I don't really know what year the Titan's Curse came out.

Apollo, Artemis

Summary preview: The sun, the moon, and coffee...

The sun god was currently blowing bubbles in his coffee.

It was somewhat keeping his mind off the fact that his little sister (who he secretly knew was older, but refused to accept), was trapped somewhere by some sadistic Titan out for revenge.

Besides, who could refuse the happiness that came with bubble-blowing?

He looked over a picture of the ocean and wondered briefly if his uncle would mind if he went for a swim, before he found himself swimming in the ocean in his favorite swimming trunks.

It was not as fun as he thought it would be.

Apollo sighed. At that moment in his life, he truly wished that he could just screw the ancient divine laws and just go save his sister.

Because even though Apollo usually looked like a teenager, that didn't mean he trusted teenagers with his sisters life.

Not even Percy Jackson.

But Father would have a hissy fit, Artemis would be annoyed that he thought she couldn't take care of herself, and the Fates would be furious with him and most likely take it out on his children.

But the fact was, Father could get over himself, the kids would be fine (probably), but not one person on this planet could be one hundred percent honest when they told him she would be okay.

Because right now the future was a mystery even to him.

Which was so annoying.

Seriously, what was the point of being the god of prophecies if you could even find out if your family was safe?

Exactly. There was none.

Apollo left the beach, and found himself in what Hera would call "Your filthy living space"

Apollo tended to call it his room.

The walls were pure stereos, the music was always changing, there was medical supplies everywhere, along with old prophecies written on scrolls, and the ceiling was a picture of him pulling the sun chariot over the sky.

He kinda like his room.

But he was annoyed at the progress the demigods were making.

For Zeus sake, he had gone down as a hobotwice to help them with this.

Was the sea kid any less dense?

No.

During a brief flash of anger, he slammed his new idea for a music device into the wall.

The touchscreen iPod Nano could wait.

The small model broke apart and he realized that he was losing it.

Take a deep breath and calm down. This isn't the first time this has happened.

Apollo snorted at his attempts to calm himself. All he had done was make the stress worse.

People often forgot that yes, Apollo was a god that had been around for hundreds of years. That he wasn't just some teenager on the council full of stuffy, strict, annoying gods.

He knew his job, he knew how to get what he wanted, and he knew when to let things go.

He was just more forgiving then the other gods.

Well maybe not Hestia. But definitely more then Dionysus.

But that didn't mean he was a useless Olympian. That didn't mean he didn't care about anything other then his-self.

But these were not mellow thoughts, so Apollo tossed them out of his head, because otherwise he would just get annoyed, or even a little angry at the easy way everyone just dismissed-

Right.

Happy thoughts.

Apollo wished he still had his coffee.

He was dying to know how the demigods were doing though, so he left his room to go and find the throne room.

Upon entering, he saw Athena, Zeus, and Hermes all looking over their children's fight.

Then they pulled back and huge smiled broke out over Athena and Zeus' faces.

Hermes just looked troubled.

"Yo, Hermes. You doin' okay?" he asked, trying to help his friend.

Hermes looked up. "As well as can be expected. I have to go. Oh, and Apollo, Artemis is-"

"Father!" Artemis' voice rang through the room as she entered the room through the front entrance.

Years later, Apollo still couldn't describe the happiness that bubbled through him at the sight of his sister, tired looking, but basically unharmed.

"Artemis!" he cried running towards her.

She looked up and smiled at him, before he crushed her in a hug.

"You suck." he informed her, pulling away.

She snorted then sobered. "I'm sorry for worrying you brother. But I need to speak with Father, before the demigods get here. We can catch up later." she told him, before striding away.

But that was okay.

Because she was okay, and the moon would keep shining, and the Great Prophecy was going to be carried out tomorrow and-

Wait. Backtrack.

Tomorrow?

Well his mood was just slightly bummed.

Me: Thoughts? I thought that while Rick did a great job at showing us the sun gods personality, he kinda made him look like a guy who blew off his responsibilities.

And as if he was a lot younger then the other gods, when in fact, he still is an Olympian and by far not the youngest. He's pretty old.

I don't know. Maybe it was just me.
