HeroesOfOlympus
Heyyyy y'all! Sorry I haven't wrote in a while. Recently my phone cracked so I couldn't type anything. My phone is still broken so I'm using my mum's computer and she's usually using it so it'll be lucky even for 1 post this week. Anyway, thanks for the amazing amount of support you guys/girls/demigods! I'll post every two days once my phone is fixed. Alright, I know. I'm blabbering again. On with Chapter 7!

Chapter 7

Percy's P.O.V
Looking at the crying group, consisting of Will, Apollo and Nico, I blinked back a few tears myself. I knew the pain Will felt. When my mum was caught by Hades, I felt so mad. Mad at the gods. Mad at myself for being a demigod. I also felt guilt and sadness. When I was on the quest, I blamed myself for not being strong enough to beat the minator in time.

Sighing, I realized life was too short for regrets. I played with Annabeth's fingers and gestured to the door. I needed to go outside for some fresh air. I pulled Annabeth out of her chair and walked down the stairs, hand in hand, to the open door.

Walking out out of the throne room, I breathed in the smell of ambrosia and nectar. Walking in silence for a few minutes, I finally broke the silence. "Wise Girl?"

Annabeth looked up at me and nodded her head, telling me to go on. "I know you want to know why I kept my drawing skills a secret." I stopped her and looked at her in the eyes.

She looked at me with those wide beautiful grey eyes. I pulled her onto a bench and sat her on my lap. Sighing, she admitted she did want to know why.

"I can't talk about it now. It involves my past. I know, keeping secrets isn't good for a relationship but... I just need time. Besides, that Apollo would probably show it on that flashback screen." I huffed.

Annabeth nodded understandingly. "We all have secrets don't we?" She admitted, biting her lip. I placed my hand tenderly on her cheek and the other hand tilting her head up for her lips to meet mine. Our lips touched but that cursed Leo Valdez had to ruin it, didn't he?

"Hey lovebirds! Get a room!" Leo shouted cheekily with Jason, Piper, Calypso, Frank, Hazel and Thailia behind him. Annabeth and I immediately jerked. "Valdez..." I warned with a playful frown on my face. He visibly paled and gulped. "1... 2... 3..." I counted down as Leo took off in a direction.

After a few seconds, I came back with Leo, under my arm, squirming to get free. I set him down on the floor and used the water from the pond next to us to make 'ropes' to bind him. "I take it that Leo spoils a lot of romantic moments with you?" I asked Calypso.

She sighed and nodded her head while crossing her arms. I plopped down next to Annabeth and slung my arm over her shoulder. She moved closer to me and pecked me on the cheek. The others sat down and laughed at Leo as he tried to use his fire powers to distinguish the water.

"Hey guys! Wanna see a little play?" I playfully asked as everyone cheered. Thalia looked at me, smirking with an eyebrow raised. I mouthed to her 'torture plan number 74'. When Annabeth and I stayed at the Hunters of Artemis' camp, Thalia and I bonded even closer and came up with a list consisting with a 100 torture plans. We both swore on the Styx not to use it on each other and only on annoying people like, I don't know, Leo.

Thalia stood up and walked over to Leo. "Once upon a time, there was a princess called... Uh... Leona? Yes! Leona!" She proudly announced as she shot a look at Piper and Piper immediately took out a little pink ball. If any Aphrodite child threw the pink ball at someone's feet, that person would have loads of make up on their face and a big puffy pink dress.

Mostly the lazy Aphrodite girls used the ball to get ready everyday. Apparently the amount of makeup the ball put on people's faces were considered beautiful for them. Obviously, Piper never used the ball but the Aphrodite girls had a daily amount given to them. Kinds like a daily allowance.

Anyway, Piper threw the ball at Leo and he managed to scream a very mortal girly scream. The pink cloud cleared and Leo stood there in a big pink poofy dress, a pair of six inches high heels, loads of make up on his face and a load curly blonde wig. There was silence for 10 seconds before everyone started rolling on the floor, pointing and laughing at him so hard till tears came out.

After a solid 15 minutes of laughing at Leo we settled down but laughed occasionally at him. Suddenly I had a thought. "Hey guys, if Leo, I mean Princess Leona looks as good as she looks," I started and Annabeth coughed out, "Cough, which she doesn't, cough," Leo was still confused about how he looked like.

"Will she sound as good as she looks?" I finished as everyone straightened up, staring at me with wide eyes. "What?" I obliviously asked. "That's one of the smartest things you have ever said!" Jason spluttered out before I wrapped him in a casing of water and freeze it into ice. I forgot to mention, over the past few months, I managed to learn how to control the three forms of water. I could now control water vapor, water and ice.

"Anyone else?" I innocently asked as I formed a 10 inches long ice blade in my hand. Everyone, except Annabeth, paled and shook their heads. "I thought so," I smugly answered before giving Annabeth a peck on the lips. I unfroze Jason and shot him a playful glare which he flinched to.

"So... Are we gonna try and get Princess Leona to talk?" Calypso questioned with a smirk spreading on her face. Everyone else eagerly nodded as they looked at me. "So I have to do it?" I frowned as they all nodded. I thought for a moment and an evil grin spread a crossed my face. Everyone scooted a bit further from me as I stood up.

"Princess Leona was walking in the palace garden when suddenly... A huge dragon appeared!" I shouted as I shaped the water vapor in the air to form into a huge dragon, the height of a 20 story building. Everyone stared at the dragon, then me, then the dragon.

Shouts of 'cool' and 'it looks so real' was heard as I grinned smugly. I made the dragon move and breathe ice onto Princess Leona's face. Leo stared at it with wide eyes before screaming like a mortal girl and shrieking in a high pitched voice, "Get the dragon away from me!!! Ahhhhh!!!"

We we all stared in shock at Leo and started laughing hysterically at him again. Suddenly, we all heard Zeus' voice. "BREAK TIME FOR THE ARTS COMPETITION IS OVER! EVERYONE PLEASE PROCEED BACK TO THE THRONE ROOM! THOSE WHO DON'T WILL BE STRIKED BY MY MASTER BOLT!"

We we all got up, not wanting to get striked by Zeus' lightning bolt. I made my water dragon disappear and made the 'rope' around Leo to disappear. "You might want to get cleaned up," I shouted at Leo as Calyso pushed him to the pond to let him look at himself. Leo shrieked like a girl again before Piper gave Calypso a white ball, telling her to throw it at Leo so he'll look back to normal.

"Come on Piper! We've gotta go. Jasper out," Jason pulled Piper and shot off into the air like a blonde superman. "Two can play at that game," I muttered before lifting Annabeth into my arms. "Percabeth out!" I managed to shout before I saw Frank change into a cheetah as Hazel climbed onto his back.

I vapor travelled to the throne room door and reached right before Jason shot down from the sky with Pioer in his arms. I gently put Annabeth down and jogged into the throne room with her holding my hand. "I love you Wise Girl," I whispered to Annabeth as I pecked her on her forehead. She tiptoed and packed me on my forehead too.

"I love you too Seaweed Brain," She looked at me with sparkling grey eyes. I pulled her into a seat next to me and heals her hand, playing with her fingers. Her head lay on my shoulder as she cuddled nearer to me. We sat in a comfortable silence waiting for the competition to resume.

Apollo flashed onto the stage with a grin on his face. How was he happy now when he was sad before? Will and Nico walked into the room with their hands intertwined and sat in the front row, next to Annabeth and me.

"What's made you two so happy?" Annabeth asked with a twinkle in her eyes. Nico and Will looked at each other and peaked each other on the lips. Will scooted closer to Nico and gently placed his head on Nico's.

"Hades decided to do a favor for Will since he was my boyfriend. Will can iris-message his mum ononce a week as long..." Nico said the last part so quietly under his breath that we couldn't hear him. Nico was blushing many shades of red as Will beamed. "Uncle Hades," At this I snickered which Annabeth jabbed me in the ribs for. "Uncle Hades said as long as I don't hurt his son and promise to propose to him and not the other way round,"

At this, Will, Annabeth and I busted out laughing as Nico huffed and his face looked like a puppy not getting his bone. Will ruffled Nico's hair and swung his arm around Nico's shoulders. Will smashed his lips against Nico's as Annabeth and I whistled. "Feisty, eh Will?" I cheekily asked which Nico turned red at but still continued to kiss Will.
