Well, daily updating is so not working. Oh well. I shoot for a week. So, bad news first. My friend decided to introduce me to this writing thing where you write 50,000 words and then have it judged. Maybe some of you guys have heard of it. Fun right? Well to write it, from scratch, would take forever, so I may/may not be updating this month. I can try, but no promises.

On another note, congrats to Annabeth Weasley Fowl who got the answer right! It was Skydoesminecraft. Does no one check out my profile? So yeah, there's that.

Happy late Halloween. What is it November already? A Dory does love her some candy. Especially chocolate. Man I'm going to get fat!

Disclaimer: Don't own PJO. Maybe one day.


Percy POV

I woke up the next morning to the tapping of an owl at my window. I started to sit up when I found a sleeping Annabeth, her head next to mine. I kissed her forehead and she yawned, sitting up. She sat up and looked around confused.

"Percy, what am I doing here?"

I shrugged and slid from the bed. "We got in so late last night that I had to carry you up the stairs. I then didn't feel like carrying you to your room, so I put you in here. Hope you don't mind."

She folded her knees up to her chest and hugged them. "No, it's fine." She glanced at the clock. "Well, we have the whole day in front of us. What do you want to do?"

I opened the window and a grey owl hopped into the room. The bird dropped a note and took off through the still open window. I closed the window and picked up the note. I read it, my dyslexia making it hard.

Dear Perseus and Annabeth,

We (Poseidon and Athena) would like to spend the day with you and catch up. Please meet us in Belmont State Park around noon. We will provide the food.

Signed,

Athena and Poseidon

I read it over twice and handed it to my girlfriend. "Looks like we have something to do today after all, Wise Girl."

Belmont State Park

I teleported Annabeth and I to the park and took her hand. Looking around, I tried to catch a glimpse of our parents.

Annabeth was the first to spot them. "Over there." She said, pointing. I looked and saw them; a stern looking woman with long black hair in jeans and a simple grey shirt and a guy in a Hawaiian print shirt, Bermuda shorts and smile crinkles around his eyes. Athena was scratching an owl on the head and dad was on his ipad, tapping the screen furiously and shaking his head.

I walked over to them and cleared my throat. "Uh, we're here."

Athena looked up from the hooting owl. "Ah, Annabeth, Perseus." She jabbed an elbow into my dad's side.

He looked up and smiled. "Hey son! Have you seen the pollution in this lake?" He gestured angrily to the lake behind him. "Darn humans, they think they can do whatever they want!" He focused his attention back to the ipad.

Athena sighed in exasperation. "Men, not good for anything."

Annabeth wrapped both her arms around my neck and kissed me. "Oh I don't know. Some of them are rather nice. You approve of Perseus don't you mom?"

Athena allowed a small smile. "I suppose young Perseus is one of a kind. Though, break my daughter's heart and you'll be sorry." She gazed at me with her steely grey eyes.

I remember back all those years ago when Athena burned the front of my shirt for thinking about involving her daughter in something dangerous. I could only imagine what she would do if I actually hurt Annabeth, not that that was even on my list of stuff I wanted to do. I shuddered. "Not planning on it Lady Athena."

She nodded and motioned for us to sit down. I sat and grabbed a sandwich from the stack on the plate in the middle of the picnic blanket. I peeking inside and found out there was ham and mayo inside. I shrugged and took a big bite of the sandwich, moaning in delight as the food hit my taste buds. I swallowed and grinned. "That was epic!"

Annabeth smiled. "You're such a child Seaweed brain."

"And yet you stay with me. I'm beginning to think you like childish people."

"Do not! I only put up with you because I love you."

I scooped some whipped cream from a nearby pie and poked Annabeth's nose with it. "Love you too, Wise Girl."

She giggled and wiped the cream off her nose. "For future reference, that was cold. And I hope I have enough time to finish the designs."

I groaned and leaned back, my back hitting the grass behind me. "Anna, you promised to stop working so hard!"

"These things need to get done Perce."

I looked to Athena for support. She nodded and turned to her daughter.

"Annabeth, Perseus is correct. You don't want to go run yourself into the ground just to get all the plans done. I don't want to have to plan a funeral for my favorite daughter before it's her time because she won't listen to her boyfriend."

Annabeth looked from me to her mom and then back again. "Do you really feel like that mom?"

I sat up in anticipation of Athena's answer.

"Of course sweetie. I may not show it, but I really do care for you and your siblings. By the way, tell your bother Malcom to stop with the Jelly Beans. They addle his mind and goodness knows that I value the mind over anything."

Annabeth looked triumphant. "I knew he was still eating those things!" Her expression turned serious. "And if both of you really feel this way, I suppose I can cut back on the drafting."

I leaned over and kissed her. "That's all I'm asking."

She lay down and placed her head on my lap. "Hey, mom? Why did you and Percy's dad decide to get along now?"

Athena poked dad in the ribs. "Time for you to talk Kelp Head."

"Hey!" I shouted indigently. "That's my nickname!"

"My apologies Perseus."

I waved my hand. "Don't worry about it Lady Athena. To repay me, you can just call me Percy."

"Very well Percy. And as you are dating my daughter, you may call me Athena."

I smiled. "Okay."

Dad groaned and put down the ipad. "Darn mortals! What are we talking about?"

"Your son's girlfriend would like to know why we've started to become civil. Honestly, is your head always filled with sea water?"

Dad pouted. "No, just some of the times. And I'm not as bad as Apollo. I can figure out basic math, so there!" He stuck out his tounge and crossed his arms.

"Just get on with answering the question!" Athena shouted, half exasperated.

"Oh, right. Well, it was about the time that you little miss Annabeth got banished from Olympus. Sad day, anyways, I invited your mother to check out my undersea library because I know how much she loooves books. It turns out that I know more than she does on all things related to the ocean, so we started to spend time together so I could properly inform her about the wonder that is my kingdom." He finished and smiled. "And thus a new frenemyship was born." He grabbed the bowl of grapes and popped a couple in his mouth.

Athena looked up at the sky and gasped. "Is that the time? Well children, this has been fun, but it's getting late." We all got up and the picnic disappeared. Athena walked over and hugged Annabeth and my dad did the same. Athena stepped back and studied me carefully. "And Percy, I expect no grandchildren soon." She snapped her fingers and teleported up back to my room.

Annabeth gave me a hug and yawned. Getting on her tiptoes, she whispered, "You really are smarter than I thought you were if mom agreed with you."

I laughed. "You continue to underestimate me after like 300 years of dating."

"I shouldn't." She whispered. She leaned up and kissed me. "Night Seaweed Brain. Love you." She walked over to the door and opened it. Looking back, she smiled and then closed the door.

"Love you too." I whispered back, even though she couldn't hear it.


Wow that was a depressing ending. It wasn't meant to be. This is what happens when I write a story in like 4 hours. With much youtube procrastination. Remember to review, I always look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Also Allen, was that enough Percab- never mind, no it wasn't! It never is!

Love Lots!
