Mortals Meet The Demigods

Sally Jackson - The Crew

I don't care what anybody said, Sally Jackson is Percy's godly parent! Ya, the goddess of blue cookies and being the best mom ever! I don't know if she is clear-sighted in he book, but lets just say she is. 

Me: I know I don't usually do this at the beginning of a chapter, but Perce, do you want to do a disclaimer?

Percy: Only if I get blue cookies!

Me: Fine. Sally will make some for you.

Percy: YES!!!!! She doesn't own me or my goddess of a mother. *thunder rumbles* It's true! She is more of a goddess than you, Cow Queen! Okay, gotta go! *runs off to get blue cookies*

Sally Jackson:

I watched in astonishment as my son and his friends (that were practically my children) were all dressed up in their Halloween costumes. This would not be so incredible if they had just dressed up, but no, they dressed as each other! As they laughed their heads off, I was taking a video to remember this day.

Thalia was wearing a ridiculous curly blonde wig and had a pencil tucked behind her ear. She held her homework and ran around screaming, "I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THREE BAJILION TO THE POWER OF SEVEN HUNDRED DIVIDED BY SIXTEEN POINT THREE! IMMA TRUE GENIUS!" I was practically crying laughing when she threw the papers into the air and danced as they rained down around her.

Will then raced by a dancing Thalia in all black with a shaggy dark wig covering his eyes. "Fear me! I am dark and scary, I am the GHOST KING! I am never happy so you just have to sit there and watch as I sulk around."

Nico skipped up to him in a blonde wig and bright yellow clothes. He mocked a look of shock and then started grabbing onto Will and talking in a super high voice, "OH MY GODS! You used your Underworldly magic and you are going to DIEEE! You have to stay in the infirmary for the next year! Doctor's orders!" The couple bickered, playing each other's parts.

I turned the camera to face Jason, who was pretending to be Percy. He held a watering can in each hand and waved them around, spraying everybody in the splash zone. "Look at me! I can control the WATER! Fishes are friends not food and if you don't like Finding Nemo, I don't like you!" He waved the watering cans around more. "Look! I don't get wet! BRO! COME HERE! BROOOOOO!"

Percy, dressed as Jason, came sprinting over to his friend. "Oooh! I can fly and you can do watery thingies! I am still better! And my idiot horse Tempest is better than Blackjack even though he admitted to Percy that Blackjack is the boss! Wassup, bro?" My son jumped up and down in the air and flapped his arms like they were wings.

"Guess what, bro? I can't get wet, but you can so if I spray you, you will be all wet." Jason laughed evilly as he showered Percy in the watering can water and Percy reluctantly allowed himself to get wet.

"Well... I can use the wind to... annoy you?" Percy declared before blowing as hard as he could and started chasing after Jason who was hysterically laughing and running away. I tripped over a stick because I was laughing so hard that I didn't see where I was going.

Piper, who was wearing gold eye contacts and a curly black wig. She quickly helped me to my feet and said, "I am Hazel! I help everybody because I am super nice and I hate it when people get hurt, because unlike my brother, I hate death! Did you know I died? Yeah! And I am a witch, but don't call me a witch or I will crush you! Okay, see ya!" She skipped away.

Miraculously, I was still filming so I got the exchange recorded!

Suddenly, Hazel skipped over. She was bending the mist to make herself look exactly like Piper, but I knew it was her because Piper didn't look like Piper. "Heeeey, Sally? How are you and Paul? EEEE! You guys are like TOTES ADORBS or whatever! I just love love!" She giggled and skipped away screaming, "Oh, Superman? It's me! Your girlfriend!" She ran up and hugged Percy (dressed like Jason) before sprinting away again.

Frank ran over to a bench wearing a grease stained shirt under suspenders with a toolbelt around his waist. He tapped Annabeth, who currently looked a lot like Thalia, on the shoulder and smiled. "Hey, Gracey! Did ya know all da ladies luv leo?"

"DO NOT CALL ME GRACE! ALL OF US STRONG, INDEPENDENT WOMEN DO NOT LOVE YOU, VALDEZ! YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO RUN BEFORE I SHOOT YOU BECAUSE I AM THE SUPER RAD DAUGHTER OF ZEUS AND HUNTER OF ARTEMIS!" Annabeth screamed before laughing and chasing after a hysterical Frank.

Leo chased after them in a Camp Jupiter t-shirt screaming, "Hey, look at me! I am a chinese-canadian baby man who can be anything!" He put on his tool belt and screamed out in shock, "WHOA! I AM LEO FLAIMIN' MCSHIZZLE NOW!"

... I finished showing the video to a laughing five year old Estelle. "Who were they dressed up as, Mommy?" She asked me.

"Their heroes, of course! Each other!" I responded and pulled her in for a hug. I hope my baby girl will one day have friends like that. Well, maybe not QUITE like that. I just want my daughter to be happy!
