Annabeth was getting worried, since it was almost curfew and Percy and Phoebe hadn't come home yet. When the cabin door finally opened, Annabeth was surprised to see her father-in-law enter the cabin with them.
"Poseidon." Annabeth said.
"Sorry to surprise you, but I couldn't pass up meeting my only grandchildren." Poseidon said.
"No, it's fine, after all, this is your cabin." Annabeth said.
"Thank you." Poseidon said.
"Mom, Grandfather invited me to spend the weekend with him to master my powers." Phoebe said.
"Did he now?" Annabeth asked.
"Yes, I want to be a part of my grandchildren's lives, now that they are aware of my existence." Poseidon said.
"I don't see any problems. Just promise you'll keep her safe." Annabeth said.
"I promise that as long as Phoebe is in my care she will be well looked after." Poseidon promised.
"Good." Percy said.
Aeneas Grace was in the arena early the next morning practicing his aim with his javelin. FYI, Aeneas's javelin was modeled after the master bolt and was a gift from the lord of the skies himself.
Aeneas was kind of spoiled by his grandfather.
But anyway, Aeneas was hurling his javelin and used the winds to summon it back.
"You bored of hurling that thing at dummies?" Luke asked as he, Veronica and Aeneas's girlfriend, Silena Rodriquez, entered the arena.
"Kind of." Aeneas said.
"Why don't we spar while the girls go at it?" Luke suggested to his cousin.
"Sounds good to me." Aeneas said as Luke summoned his sword.
The girls pulled out their own weapons as the duels began.
Aeneas may be 2 years older than Luke, but Luke was clearly a worthy adversary, since all of his strikes were deflected.
Veronica and Silena were sparring, sword on spear and Silena was using Veronica's distracted state to her advantage.
When they stopped to break, Silena said to Veronica, "You're too distracted by Luke. Just ask him to the fireworks already, it's clear you like him."
"Clear to everyone but Luke." Veronica said. She had been dropping hints that she liked Luke for weeks, but he still hadn't caught on.
"It's the 21st century, just go and ask him out already." Silena said.
"Are you sure to the fireworks?" Veronica asked, since that was the largest dating event of the summer.
"Yes." Silena pushed, for just because Veronica was her best friend, that didn't mean she couldn't get annoyed with her.
"Fine. If it'll get you off my back, I'll ask him." Veronica said as the boys walked up to them to take a break.
"Hey Luke, can we talk alone for a minute?" Veronica asked.
"Sure." Luke said as they walked out of hearing range of Aeneas and Silena.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Aeneas asked
"Hopefully, Veronica is finally asking him out to the fireworks." Silena said.
"About time to." Aeneas said as the 2 returned.
"Well?" Silena asked.
"We're going to the fireworks together." Luke said.
"So are you 2 dating now?" Aeneas asked.
"Yep." Veronica said.
