Amphitrite

There walk to the beach was awkward. Neither of them knew what to say to the other. They just went side by side ignoring the others presence.

The weather was sunny. The sun was practically burning into Amphitrites skin. She never really liked the mainland. Her home was underwater.

"So, have you already been in LA before?" her step-son asked her much too her surprise.

She turned to him. He was giving her a small smile that said that if we have to bond then at least try to get know each other a bit.

Amphitrite sighed. "Once. It was with your father on our 3000th anniversary 20 years ago." she said dryly.

Percy grinned at her. "That's cool! I have been to LA when I had to complete my first quest! I still remember it like it was yesterday!" he said excited.

"Aha." Amphitrite said absentmindedly, but deeply inside she was impressed how the son of Poseidon could be so optimistic. She wasn't and she didn't knew another on of her group who was.

"I had to retrieve the lightning bold and for that I had to find Hades, because I thought he was the thief, but in then it was Ares who was influenced by Kronos. My best friends Annabeth and Grover helped me and…"

"We are there." Amphitrite said dryly. Somewhere inside she was smiling at Percy's enthusiasm. It wasn't every day that you see a demigod that cheery.

The beach was beautiful. The sand was sparkling in the sunlight and the sea was deep blue. Hundreds of people were there on the beach enjoying themselves.

"So cool! Beach, how I missed you!" he shouted.

Amphitrite smiled a bit at her step-sons enthusiasm, but kept a poker face.

"Come on let's go, before the place is full." she said.

They went towards the beach. A cool breath of air blew towards them.

When they found a place where they could put down there things. Percy immediately ran towards the beach with a surfboard in his hand which they brought along. Amphitrite put a carpet on the sand and lied on it. She didn't really wanted to join the demigod on his surfing tour. She still was uncomfortable near the son of her husband.

As she lied there she thought about the last few days. Truth to be told, she actually liked the idea of bonding with her step-son. She never really hated him or disliked him. She just like Hera or Persephone hated the fact that Percy wasn't her son. He really reminded her of Poseidon with his goofy attitude.

She sighed. Sometimes she wondered where her marriage with Poseidon gone wrong. When he asked her to marry him, she was the luckiest nymph in the world. Out of all her sisters he had chosen her. But as time went along, there marriage got the first scratches and Poseidon began to cheat on her. Not as much as Zeus did on Hera, but it was enough to hurt her deeply.

When the big three made the pact, Amphitrite couldn't be happier, but of course her luck didn't held very long. She remembered how furious she was when she heard that her husband had cheated on her again.

No, she didn't hated Percy, but it was hard to look at him as he was the product of her husband's cheating. Unlike some of Poseidon's half-god children, Percy was actually modest, friendly and loyal. He was a true hero and sometimes Amphitrite couldn't help, but be a little bit proud at him. Sometimes Amphitrite wondered what would be if he was her son. She would teach him cooking, singing and dancing and maybe her life would be a little bit less gloomy.

"Lady Amphitrite?" a voice interrupted her thoughts.

She opened her eyes to see at her step-son, who was nervously rubbing his neck.

"I was wondering if you wanted to join me building a sand castle. I already got a bucket and shovel." he said smiling.

With the surfboard in his hand, he reminded her so much of her husband when they were here the last time in LA. She tried not to smile.

"No thank you, Perseus." she said expressionlessly.

Percy pouted. "Come on steppie, I want to built a castle."

Amphitrite raised her eyebrow. "Did you just call me steppie?" No wonder why every god voted for Percy Jackson being the most reckless demigod of all time.

Percy grinned at her. "Yup, please Lady Amphitrite. If we are already on the beach then we can also enjoy out time." he said giving her the puppy look. She tried to look away, but couldn't resist them.

She sighed. "Fine, Perseus, but just this one time."

Percy grinned and took Amphitrite with him. They walked towards the place where he already began to built the castle. The next two hours they spent on the beach building the castle and even have a water fight one time. Amphitrite didn't know where it was the last time she felt so free. She never thought she could have so much fun with her step-son, but she was wrong.

When they finished building the castle both of them were painting heavily.

"I must say, this is a masterpiece! We would definitely win in every competition with this sculpture!" Percy claimed.

Amphitrite laughed. "Don't get boastful, Perseus. We don't want to push your ego even more."

Percy grinned at her. "You know, I always thought you were kind of a cold hearted goddess, but you are actually fun to hang out with."

Amphitrite smiled at him a bit. "And you are not that annoying like I thought." she said smirking.

Percy pouted. "Hey!"

Amphitrite laughed and splashed water into his face.

"Oh, now you are so on for it!" Percy cried as he splashed water at her. The next few minutes they spent the time with splashing water at each other. Amphitrite smiled. Maybe this bonding trip was really working.

So this was my next chapter. I hope you liked it. I always assumed that Percy and Amphitrite had the most easy-going relationship out of all wive-step-children relationships of the big three. Being the goofy kid, Percy is. It is practically impossible to hate him. They will therefore bond much faster then for example Thalia and Hera or Nico and Persephone. I will do the next chapter in Nico's POV. Please review and the next chapter will be posted soon.
