Before I start, I would just like to say that Zeus has made me into the God of Mangos, but since I'm Hindu, I'm kind of stuck in the middle of the two religions until further notice, so I am now called the Divine Protector of all things Mango, or DPM for short
Chapter 1
The next day, mom, Paul, and I were spending time with Annabeth's family once again. This time, we were in Annabeth's apartment.
"That reminds me," said Mom, "Percy, we need to know whether you and Annabeth want to go to school or not."
"We already said that we'll go," I reminded them
"How did you remember that?" Sally asked, "How in the world did you remember about school, when you have trouble remembering to brush sometimes."
"I didn't brush when I was a tree, and I forget sometimes, okay," I said, "besides, when you spend time with the Athena cabin, some things just in your head."
"Now that that's been decided," said Mom, before pointing to Annabeth and me "you two are coming with me to get your supplies."
"Why now?" I asked
"The earlier you have them," said Sally, "the more likely you're going to keep the stuff where you want them so you can remember where they are."
Everyone, except for Annabeth, just looked at me
"What?" I asked, "I admit it, I'm really disorganized, but after a while, I find a way to organize my stuff while still being disorganized." (A/N This is me sometimes)
"Okay," said Dr. Chase, "ignoring that, I'll IM Chiron and inform him that you two will be staying and going to school together."
"Thanks Dad," said Annabeth
"Thank you Dr. Chase," I said
"Percy, what did I tell you?" he asked
"You do know it's going to be a little hard being on first name basis with your girlfriend's father while at the age of 16, right?" I asked, causing all the adults to laugh
"I'm starting to see why Annabeth chose to love you, Percy," said Dr Chase, "and fine, you can call me Dr. Chase."
"Speaking of which," said Mom, "you don't have to call me Sally, Annabeth. Mrs. Jackson or Mrs. Blofis is fine."
"Thanks, Mrs. Jackson," said Annabeth
"No problem, sweetie," said Mom, "now come on, get ready. We'll be heading out in just a few minutes."
"All right," we both said, and I followed Mom back into our (me, mom's, and now Paul's) apartment.
~~~~~-Time^glub^skip~~~~~~
After we came back from shopping for our school supplies, Dr Chase told me and my mom that he had something to tell them from Chiron. When I entered Annabeth's apartment, I looked at her questioningly, but she just shrugged.
"Good," said Dr Chase, "Now I can tell you two together."
"Tell us what?" asked Annabeth
"That some of your friends will be staying in the apartments on this floor," said Dr Chase, "he said that three of them will be staying with an adult, the mother of two of the three, and the rest will be staying with other demigods."
"Who's staying with the adult?" I asked
"Some kids named Nico and Bianca DiAngelo and Thalia Grace," said Dr Chase
"I hope he and Mrs. DiAngelo know what they're doing," I mutter
"Why?" ask Mom
"Nico and Bianca are children of Hades and Thalia's a daughter of Zeus," replied Annabeth
"Nico and Thalia are notorious for getting into arguments with each other," I said
"They can't be that bad," said Paul
"You don't understand, Mr. Blowfis," said Annabeth, "children of the Big Three gods, Poseidon , Zeus, and Hades, are notorious for having blown out arguments, especially those of Zeus and Hades."
"Just like their fathers," said Sally, and when we looked at her, she said, "So Poseidon told me a few things about Olympus, sue me."
"All right then," I said, "Do you know who else is coming?"
"Chiron didn't mention anyone else," said Dr. Chase, "but he did say that we'll be able to tell as soon as they come."
Just then, we heard some shouting outside
"I told you that Percy lives in 7B," said the first voice, which sounded masculine, "We should visit him first."
"But Annabeth lives in 6B," said a second voice, which sounded feminine, "we should visit her first."
Before the first two could say anything, a third, also feminine, voice interrupted, "Do you think they realize that they live next to each other?"
"Probably," said the first two, "I mean they spend their entire life together….STOP COPYING ME!...SHAMA-LLAMA-DING-DONG!...STOP COPYING ME!"
"Oh my gods," I snickered, "is that Nico and Thalia?"
"Oh my gods," said Annabeth, "I was wondering why they sounded familiar."
We ran to the front door and opened it, only to find Nico and Thalia in the middle of some simultaneous martial arts thing. Nico and Thalia looked at us and blinked.
We looked to Bianca, who just shrugged.
"What are you two doing?" I asked, breaking the silence
"He's/She's copying me!" yelled Thalia and Nico at the same time, before turning to each other, and blasting our ears off, "STOP COPYING ME!"
"Will you please give it a rest!" yelled Bianca, "Please! Before you blast the rest of our ears off!"
"Sorry," said the two, before glaring at each other.
"Wait," said Bianca, "why are you two in the same apartment? What were you doing?"
"Nothing," we blushed
"Me, my Mom, and my mom's boyfriend were talking with Annabeth and her family," I said
"Yeah," said Annabeth, "and we just got back from shopping for school supplies."
"I told you that if we left earlier we would have been able to go school supply shopping with them," said Thalia
"No you didn't," said Nico, "I was the one telling you, scine you were busy trying to get all of your stupid Green Day stuff."
"It's not stupid!" said Thalia
"Thalia," said Annabeth, "why aren't you with the Hunt?"
"What?" snapped Thalia, "Oh, I, um, well, I couldn't handle it. Too much nature-y and not enough technology."
"Of course," said Annabeth, rolling her eyes, "Now are you coming in or not?"
"Yes, we are," said Bianca, and we led them inside and to the living room, where everyone was
We introduced Thalia and the DiAngelos to Mom, Paul, and Annabeth's family.s
"Are you really children of Zeus and Hades?" asked Paul
"Yup," said Nico, reviving a skeleton of a mouse and making it dance before sending it to the ground.
"COOL!" exclaimed Bobby and Matthew, while Mr. and Mrs. Chase and Paul were wide-eyed.
"Don't worry," said Bianca, "I'll make sure that he controls it. I control the ground, by the way."
"And I can control lightning," said Thalia, "I'd show you, but I don't want to damage anything."
"Good girl," said Annabeth, earning a glare (which remained ineffective against Annabeth) from Thalia
"Whoa," said the twins, "Have you ever tried making a zombie with lightning?"
"What are you talking about now, you two?" asked Mrs. Chase
"We mean," they said, "have you ever tried frying a skeleton with lightning into making a zombie like Frankenstein."
"No, not really," said Thalia, "but I don't need to, since Nico can just summon them as quick as lightning."
"Whoa," they said
"All right you two," said Mrs. Chase, "It's eight O'clock, and time for you to go to bed."
"Awww, mom!" whined the twins
"Boys," said Mrs. Chase, sternly, and the twins ran to their bedrooms quicker than I thought they would.
"We better go as well, Mrs. Chase," said Bianca
"All right, Bianca," said Mrs. Chase, "You're welcome to join us anytime."
"That offer extends to me as well, sweetie," said mom
"Thank you Mrs. Chase and Mrs. Jackson," said Bianca, Nico, and Thalia at the same time.
We all said our goodbyes, and soon, me, Mom, and Paul left for our bedroom.
Just before I went to bed, Paul came to me and said he wanted to talk to me about something.
"I'm thinking about proposing," said Paul, nervously
"Oh my gods," I said, causing him to get even more nervous, "I can't believe you're actually asking me."
"What?" asked Paul obviously thrown back
"You didn't need to ask me about proposing," I said, "I would have been happy, even if you didn't tell me. When are you doing it?"
"Tomorrow," said Paul
"Then, I'll take the day off," I said, "I'll go with Annabeth, Nico, Bianca, and Thalia to the movies or something. They won't say no when I tell them why."
"Why can't you stay?" he asked
"It'll be easier if you're alone," I said, "trust me."
"Sounds like you're already engaged to a certain blonde," he joked
"Not yet," I blushed, "but I'm just taking what I experienced with asking Annabeth to be my girlfriend. I'm just guessing it's the same thing, but don't take it from me. If you want others to see it, then go to a public place or something. If not, then the apartment's all yours."
"Thank you Percy," said Paul
Okay, as you may or may not know, I have an idea for another story (nothing pertaining to this series) for PJATO, but I need your help. the story is literally in it's pre-planning stage, meaning there isn't much to it yet. The name of the story is Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Superhero Style. If you read the author's note that's there, then you can find out how much I've gotten so far, which isn't much. So, if you guys could just read that and reply if you could, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
