Vacation 2/2

"PERSEUS JACKSON, IF WE DON'T LEAVE CAMP IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES I'M TELLING ANNABETH WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING!" I yelled from our cabin. By the way I'm Sage O'Neil daughter of Poseidon and half-sister of Percy Jackson.

I know what you're thinking: If your daughter of the Greek sea god why is your name another word for wise when the immortal niece of you father is his frenemy? Well ask my mom. Oh, wait the first question would probably be if I were insane to say Poseidon was my father. Well, don't throw me in the institution yet since the Greek gods and goddesses are flippin' real. But back to the present. I couldn't get my wuss of a brother out of our cabin's bathroom. Yeah I know, the hero of the modern world is cowering behind a wooden door from his 5'4 little half-sister from dragging him by the ear to the beach resort we were staying at for 1-2 weeks. What a role model (note the sarcasm, people).

You see me, Percy; Annabeth, his girlfriend; Connor and Travis Stoll, the sons of Hermes; Katie, girlfriend of Travis; Chris and Clarisse, a son of Hermes and daughter of Ares who are dating; Nico di Angelo and Hazel Levesque children of Hades and Pluto respectively; Thalia and Jason, children of Zeus and Jupiter respectively; Rachel Dare, the oracle; Grover Underwood and his cousin Scarlett Woods; Piper Mclean, daughter of Aphrodite and girlfriend of Jason; Leo Valdes, son of Hephaestus; Frank Zhang, son of Mars; my two friends who are half-siblings of Annabeth, Lena Smith; and Reyna, a praetor of Camp Jupiter, were going to this resort for mortals but unknown to them, Greeks and Romans were also staying there.

Originally, it was just me, Annabeth and Percy but Annabeth wanted her sibling to go and so did I, then Percy told Scarlett and Grover as pay back to us, but Grover told the Stolls and Travis wanted his girlfriend to come, Katie told Rachel, Rachel told our sort-of-cousins, who told Clarisse who needed to bring Chris, and Jason told Piper, Leo and the Romans; and then it reached the ears of Chiron our camp activities director, and the guest list expanded. He said that two normal minivans could get us there and that Argus, our many-eyed driver/security guard, would drive one car while my eighteen year old brother would drive the other. We would stay at the resort for about 1-2 weeks since he might take longer and we wanted to try and have a regular summer. We loved camp but sometimes we get bored when the world isn't in danger.

Right now, I was already to go and so were the others. We were all waiting for Percy who locked himself in our bathroom. I had my blue and black duffel bag ready with five shirts, three cargo pants, four short board shorts, a sundress and a one-piece swimsuit. I was fanning myself with my straw hat, wore my shades as a headband, sun block in my messenger bag on my shoulder with my duffel in the car. I was wearing a white hoodie with a blue strip on the middle, cargo pants, blue and white low cuts with white ankle-cut socks. I was pretty sure Percy was wearing a simple blue and black baseball tee, khaki cargo pants and blue crocs but I wasn't sure since he trapped himself in there after he finished changing and me showering.

"Percy, we are sooooo going to leave you if you don't come out now. I know I put the you-know-what in your bag, okay? We rehearsed it with Rachel and she swore to keep her mouth shut. Why are you stressing?" I knocked on the bathroom door. I felt weird talking to the door but I had to. Plus, this wasn't a first. I was met with silence. I did what I always do to aggravate my brother.

"ANNABETH! Your boyfriend's being a wuss again." I yelled out the door. Outside the cabin stood Annabeth, my sort-of cousins and the Romans. The others were already at the cars. Car one was for the Romans, Annabeth, Lena, Percy, me and our cousins while the others took car 2. Anyways, I heard them snicker then when I looked behind me, I saw said wuss open the bathroom door.

"Shut up, Sage. That's not true! I was just thinking about-" then he stopped mid sentence. I looked at him grinning and the others just looked at him like he ran out the cabin with only a towel practically on, which my darling brother did once. I'd rather not talk about it since he scarred half the camp with his half-nude ness.

"The savior of the world is a wuss? What a cliché." I heard Reyna say. "To think I was going to ask you out when I thought you were a Roman! Good luck with him, Annabeth."

"Yeah, sometimes I feel like I'm raising my boyfriend." Annabeth put her hands to her hips and chuckled a bit. Percy crossed his arms and pouted making Annabeth pat his cheek and say, "That's cute but your eighteen so don't act childish. It'll rub off on the baby." Making him gap like a fish out of water and it made us laugh louder.

"Guys," Thalia, who quit the Hunters and somehow miraculously didn't transform into an animal, said marching over to Percy and helped him up. "I thought we were going to the beach?" She crossed her arms.

"Is the great Thalia whining?" Nico joked. I still can't believe that Nico wasn't the Emo Nico he was before. Thalia shoved him of course. Presently, Nico's fourteen and Thalia's still a fifteen year old but they were dating. Love has no age. Look at me, an immortal still looking young and pretty as ever, I recalled Aphrodite tell us when she gave us a visit. She also turned into Venus for a while when she saw that the Romans were there. Still didn't change the fact that they gross me out though but I respect them. "Okay, let's go." Nico slung his pack over his right shoulder.

"Since when did you-" Percy's weird statement took our concentration from the love quarrel.

"Please, tell me that if we get a son we can name him Finn." I turned around and saw Annabeth pinching the bridge of her nose while stifling a laugh.

"Can we not talk about this?" Annabeth said letting out a small giggle. She noticed that we were watching her and cleared her throat. "So now that we got Seaweed Brain out of his cabin, I guess we should go to the hotel." We all mumbled in agreement then piled into the car but not without the ever present S's used to get in and out of a car: Shoving, Swearing and Sitting.

"I want to sit next to Lena!"

"I call dibs on back seats!"

"Reyna! Your hair is at my no-achoo!"

"Gah, someone kneed my throat!"

Well, just because we're children of gods doesn't mean we have our hardships, right? And ours current difficulty was the minivan. After about ten minutes of doing the three S's, we finally got into the car in an… okay fashion. "To the beach resort!" Hazel yelled and Lena glowered at her.

"I wanted to say that." She whined then pouted making all of us laugh at her. The resort was somewhere near Brooklyn and with the New York traffic we might take a few hours or so to get there. But once we get settled, I'm hitting the beach! Wait, did Percy register us yet? Nah, he isn't that much of a Seaweed Brain.


"What do you mean that there isn't any Jackson, Chase or Chiron registered here?!" I winced once I heard Rachel freak out. I wished that her Oracle powers could've predicted this but zilch. Nadda. Diddlysquat. We were being humiliated in a public resort but the bright side is that the only people in the lobby were a couple and a group of kids and teens raging from 5-adults. Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Thalia, Jason, Piper, Reyna and I checked if everything was okay with Rachel while the rest of them sat on the comfy, velvet seats.

"Excuse my friend," Annabeth told the concierge. "But I thought my friends and I were already registered?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but there isn't a name like the ones the lady said earlier. The only names that asked for two or more rooms with three queen sized beds is a man named Bes." The concierge said apologetically. A black kid that looked about 15 walked up to the front desk and talked to the lady behind the desk.

"Hey, my friends and I are all set and all but half of us have to leave." He turned to Percy. "You can have the two rooms we just gave now. Most of the toddlers and college students had to go back to Brooklyn. I'm Carter Kane by the way." He held his hand out for us to shake. Percy took it smiling and said,

"Thanks, Carter. I'm Percy, Percy Jackson." They shook hands and smiled. I giggled to myself for no reason and I noticed a small, hairy man walk behind Carter and poke his backside.

"Hey, kid, we're ready to go upstairs. Who're the others?" He stared at us funny. And the ha-ha kind of funny. We all introduced ourselves again and when it was my turn I crouched down to his level and said,

"I'm Sage O'Neil. You're cute." Let's say I gained lots weird stares from the crowd and the little guy I thought liked compliments like that one. Turns out, what I thought was far from what he liked.


Jake: Commas-99
Tricia: Words: 1,632
Jake: Don't you have a message?
Tricia: Whatcha talkin 'bout, aniki?
Jake: *sigh* About the POVs?
Tricia: Oh yeah! Derek got this idea to change POVs for every chapter then my friends and I got into a mini fight on who goes next.
Jake: Originally, it was supposed to be Sage and Viola's POV only but then we decided to alternate the POVs by using the characters in each book.
Tricia: Like, first is PJatO/HoO followed by a TKC character. Thank Kayla for that. And then I thought up that the reviewers would get to choose.
Jake: So the first to review gets to choose who gets to tell the next chapter.
Tricia: Oh and to those who find the characters OoC, sorry. I'm not used to putting myself in a fictional character's head. I am a rookie.
