Hi Readers!

I don't think Apollo will be joining in our morning meeting today because of what happened in the last chappie...

Sad.

Anyway

I am so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sorry for not updating sooner! I don't know what happened... Just think I needed a break. Plus there was this science fair that happened and I just had a lot of work on my hands.

But now I am back!

So, on with the chappie!

Percy's POV

I already feel so used to this.

"I am older!".

"No, you are not!".

Even though I've only been traveling with these guy- Apollo and Lady Artemis for a few days.

"I'm pretty sure I am older,".

"I was there helping mother giving birth to you, you dolt!".

"Eh? Really?".

Sigh.

We were planning on taking the Pegasus Feather while at Camp-Halfblood, but the two gods sitting next to me are arguing if they were actually there.

"Wait, I know!". It came out slightly unexpected, silencing the two gods completely, and making them turn to look at me.

"What do you know, male?". Artemis gave me that look, that one that said 'I don't know what to do with you, you... slightly disgusting, little... thing'.

"About the pegasus problem,".

Once again, silence. It was as if they were inviting me to a stage and they were the... assessors? Assessing if I was worth their time and worth breaking their argument.

"Well... I remember my pegasus - Blackjack - saying that my dad, uh, Lord Poseidon, was taking the pegasi on a trip around the states,".

Once again. Silence.

"And where do you suppose the pegasi and your father are right now, male?" I'll let you guess who said that.

"Well... I'm guessing they'll be somewhere around Pennsylvania or Indiana. I could Iris-Message my dad to ask?". The twins looked at each other, then back at me. From the look in their eyes, I guessed that I was supposed to do it, no questions asked.

~~~

15 minutes later... 

"Dad. Just tell me, are you in Indiana or not?".

"Well, look. A few days ago-".

"Dad!". I had Iris-Messaged my dad, hoping to get the location of the pegasi from him, but for 15 minutes straight all he spoke about were these nymphs that seemed to follow him around for days. It got annoying, and the death glares Apollo and Lady Artemis were giving each other weren't helping.

"Hehe... whoops," Jeez... Gods these days.

"Yes!?".

"So you see, I was in Indiana 3 days ago, had to stay a bit longer than expected, almost lost a few pegasi. But I didn't! And then you see..." He trailed off again, speaking about lakes and stuff. In the background, I saw a black pegasus trotting around in the grass surrounding my father. 

Blackjack.

I almost immediately recognized him, the one who stood out in the crowd of pegasi.
