Chapter 1: Counselor's Meeting
Percy's POV
Chiron called a counselors meeting, so Annabeth and I walked to the Big House. When we entered, the counselors and a few ex-counselors were already there.
"I just wanted to suggest an idea to you all..." Chiron started.
"If this is another meeting about how we should treat Annabeth and Percy now that they're back, we get it." Lou Ellen from the Iris cabin stated.
We all snorted because we understood what she meant and thought it was funny.
"No, I mean an idea involving your parents. We could do a parent's week with all of your mortal and Godly parents. It could help you bond and keep us busy now that the Stolls broke the karaoke machine." Chiron glanced at the Stolls.
"Wouldn't that just create conflict? A lot of parents would get jealous of the other parents with kids from the same cabin because they've all slept with the same Gods and Goddesses. Like if my mom meets Sherman's mom for instance." Clarisse pointed out.
"Clarisse has a point. The only parent who wouldn't get jealous is Percy's mom." Annabeth agreed.
"And it kind of stings now that Thalia and I don't have a mom." Jason shrugged.
Piper hugged him.
"I kind of consider Artemis my mom. But she's not a complete replacement." Thalia admitted.
Luke hugged her.
"Well.. it's too late. I already invited them." Chiron sighed.
Everyone groaned.
"When are they supposed to be here?" I asked.
"Any time now." Chiron said.
"I've got to go hide something." Connor said.
"Yeah." Travis followed Connor.
"Anyway, we've made arrangements for most parents to stay in the Big House. But the Godly parents can stay in their kids' cabins. And Percy's parents are sleeping in his cabin." Chiron explained.
"Why?!" Annabeth and I said at the same time.
"Because you're the only one with no other siblings, and I assume Paul won't be jealous of Poseidon." Chiron shrugged. "Why?"
"Annabeth and Percy have been sleeping in Percy's cabin, remember? Why didn't you run this past me?" Dionysus interjected.
"Oops." Chiron's eyes widened.
We could suddenly hear sounds outside. We went out to see what it was and saw our families and some Olympians.
"How many of these women do you think are single?" Zeus whispered to Apollo.
"Hopefully, a lot." Apollo replied.
Poseidon slapped the backs of their heads. "Just because Hera didn't want to come, doesn't give you an excuse to be a man-whore."
"Percy!" My mom's voice called.
I saw her and Paul standing near Thalia's tree. I looked at Annabeth.
"Go." She giggled.
So I ran until I had my mom in a bear hug.
"Hi mom." I said.
"Hi Percy." My mom smiled.
"Percy." Paul said.
"Paul." I shook his hand.
I turned just in time to see Annabeth run into her dad's arms. Her dad's wife, Christine, was smiling.
"Hi daddy." Annabeth muttered.
"Hi Annabeth." Dr. Chase grinned.
"Sorry I haven't visited you since you got back." Poseidon put an arm on my shoulder.
"It's okay. The Gods were pretty schizophrenic for a while." I smiled.
"Hello Sally." Poseidon smiled.
"Hi Poseidon." Mom said.
"Paul." Poseidon shook his hand.
"Poseidon." Paul was formal.
"Have you noticed that all the men in your life start with P's except for Gabe?" I whispered.
"Shut up." Mom giggled.
I saw Clarisse hug a woman that was similar to her, the Stolls hugged a mischievous looking woman, and Thalia greeted Artemis.
"Where's Nutty Nacho?" Clarisse's mom asked.
"Please stop calling him that. His name is Chris." Clarisse rolled her eyes.
I watched Athena hug Annabeth and say hi to Dr. Chase.
"So we're staying in your cabin?" Mom asked.
"Um... That was Chiron's plan, but you guys can't stay in my cabin." I stated.
"Why?" Paul was confused.
"Um... I have a guest staying in my cabin, so it probably wouldn't be appropriate." I'm sure I was turning red.
"What guest?" Mom looked curious.
"Um..." I was definately blushing.
Poseidon whispered something to her and she got an understanding look on her face.
"Okay. We'll try to get in the Big House." Mom smiled and gave me a hug. "So you two are serious?" She whispered.
"Yes." I was nervous.
"Good. I like her." Mom smiled as she walked to the Big House.
"Thanks..." I said.
"Of course." Poseidon grinned.
Paul looked confused and followed my mom. Annabeth walked over to me.
"You've met my dad and stepmom." Annabeth gestured to them.
"Hi Dr. Chase." I shook his hand.
"Hi Percy. Call me Fred." He smiled.
"Hi Percy." Christine shook my hand.
"Hi." I said.
Dr. and Mrs. Chase looked happy as they walked off.
"Why do they look so happy?" I asked.
"Athena told them about the circumstances of us falling into Tartarus, and they remember you from when you saved me from Mount Tam. So they really like you." Annabeth smirked.
"That's good. So I won't be the boyfriend who gets murdered by an angry dad?" I teased.
"Not likely." She giggled.
"Did you tell them we were sleeping in the same room?" I questioned.
"No. Why?" She replied.
"Because Poseidon just told my mom for me. She seemed okay with it." I shrugged. "She said she likes you."
"So this won't be like the movie Monster-in-Law?" She joked.
"Not likely." I agreed. "Wait, did you just imply that she would be your mother-in-law?"
"Um..." She was speechless for the first time.
"Hey, Athena said she wanted to see you guys." Stacy, Annabeth's sister, appeared.
We walked to Athena.
"I expanded the Big House, so you two don't need to worry about Percy's family." She winked.
Annabeth and I turned red. "Um..."
"As if I wouldn't know." Athena smirked as she walked away.
"Go to your regular activities! Your parents will follow." Chiron announced.
This will be interesting.
