SATURDAY
That was close.
I know.
Too close.
I know.
Are we shaking?
A little. It's never easy to meet a girl's parents. It's a little ironic I had to meet my girlfriend's parents for the first time, twice.
He was scary.
Believe me, he was nothing compared to Athena. She is the most scaring parent you would meet.
I wouldn't know, never met a girl's parents.
What? How?
Well, Sirena was my first serious girlfriend.
She was not that serious if you didn't meet her parents. Were you afraid to meet them?
She didn't wanna me to.
Why not?
How should I know, girls don't make sense. Could we go back to math?
Touchy subject? You prefer math over talking about the mermaid?
Considering you broke up with my girlfriend for me, so your girlfriend wouldn't be mad, you are not my first choice to talk about Sirena.
Okay, if you say so.
"Your father liked me in our... world, reality? He doesn't seem to like me much here"
"I think universe applies better. And MY father knows you're my friend, a powerful demigod, son of Poseidon, who would do anything to help me, from going through... Tartarus to convincing me to reunite with my mortal family, even after years apart. This one, Anniebell's father, only thinks you're a troublemaker, a rebel without a cause who gets into fights and right now, is sniffing around his precious little girl still carrying signs of his last fight."
"Hum. Fair enough."
"Now, stop trying to distract me and go back to studying. Now."
"Okay"
Your girlfriend is scary too.
Yes, she is.
Are you not afraid of her?
Sometimes.
Do you like that about her?
Yes, I do.
Why is that?
You want talk about girlfriends? How about the mermaid?
Math it is then.

Percy was so distracted twisting a strand of Annabeth's around his finger that he almost missed when she spoke.
"So, what are your plans to Halloween?"
Percy looked up at Annabeth's question. He smirked.
"Are you asking me out, Annabeth?"
No, no and NO. I'll NOT cancel my plans with my friends. Jodi would hunt us down and kill us, you know that. She won't allow anyone to mess with her plans for group costume.
"In your dreams, Percy. I'm just asking if you're going out"
"Yes, I'm going with Peter's friends to a party"
