Narrating Percy Jackson

Why are People so Curious?

"Um... it's a ring Percy gave me." she said confidently.

"Oh, I thought it was an engagement ring," Aphrodite said sadly.

"No, why would I give her an engagement ring? We are friends, we are not even dating," Percy said with a glare at the futures to keep their mouth shut.

The futures were shocked at first when they heard that they were not dating, but then the rational part of their brains supplied one piece of information, that got them to put two and two together, they would not break up, not after Tartarus. Then, Annabeth was wearing a ring, which Percy gave her, on her ring finger. Percy said friends, and not JUST friends, which was true.

Percy and Annabeth were not DATING, they were engaged.

All the futures, Athena, Poseidon and Hestia smirked at them and gave them discrete thumbs-ups, careful not to let AC, PJ and Luke to see, causing Percy and Annabeth to blush.

Aphrodite and Silena could have figured it out had they known the piece of information known as Tartarus, but they didn't. So, they were confused by the amount of love coming from the flushed demigods.

"So, can we continue with my story and not dwell on my love life?" he asked with a pointed look to Aphrodite.

Zeus, the ever-impatient drama queen, said Yes before anyone could say 'Hero'.

"So, where was I, yeah, I saw a cute blonde saying that I must be the one, before I passed out. A few times, I woke up to a hot blonde nurse with typical California looks with pretty but intimidating grey eyes, feeding me some stuff like buttered popcorn and smirking, but also interrogating me..." he trailed off when Aphrodite and Silena let out a loud squeal as they recognised the person. AC, PJ and Annabeth were blushing, the last person giving Percy a quick peck on the cheek. Everyone who knew Athena's nature expected her to blow up, but she had a neutral face. The futures thought maybe they told her. That is the only reason why she didn't attempt to blast Percy and let them sleep together last night. They let out a sigh of relief. One less thing to worry about.

"When I came around, Grover gave me a glass of something that tasted like my mom's chocolate chip cookies, yes it was nectar," he continued.

PJ asked "what is nectar?"

AC answered automatically, "the food of the gods. It tastes like your favourite food and can heal you. The buttered popcorn was ambrosia." PJ thanked her. Everyone watched them with interest, the futures more than the others and were internally smirking.

Percy continued, "He gave me the Minotaur horn and confirmed that I did not have a nightmare and led me to a big house, which I later learned was creatively named the Big House, introduced me to Chiron, Mr. D and Annabeth, whose first words to me were 'you drool in your sleep' and then she ran away." Everyone laughed at that, with AC and Annabeth blushing slightly.

AC thought, the Percy from my time has a cute laugh. His older self is hotter than Luke. Wait, Percy Jackson, the son of my mother's rival, is being described as cute and hotter than Luke? I love Luke. I love Luke, right? Do I really love Luke as a partner or a big brother? Ugh, stupid Aphrodite.

Aphrodite smirked at her, which widened when she glared at her.

Percy continued, "I disrespected Mr. D, as I did not know that he was a god, Chiron gave a speech about the Western Civilisation moving, the Gods moving to Rome, with same name for different gods, Jupiter for Zeus, Mars for Ares, Pluto for Hades, and so on. He took me to Cabin Eleven, giving me a tour on the way while not answering my questions and left me with Annabeth. She introduced me and Luke gave a spot in the floor. She blushed when Luke came forward," AC repeated the action. PJ thought that the blush looked cute and felt something... uncomfortable. No that was not the word.

The word was jealous.

He quickly put that aside, thinking that she would not love a guy like him and tuned in to the story once again.

"She continued with the tour, generally treating me like dirt," "That was because I did not know that you did no watch the orientation film," she cut in. "Sorry, anyway." "It's ok. Anyways, Clarisse came up, the two girls exchanged pleasantries," everyone who knew the relationship between the two snorted at that. AC and CLR glared at each other, while Annabeth and Clarisse mock-glared, "and Clarisse took me away for an initiation ritual. She tried to give me a swirly, but my powers acted up as I am persistent," "stubborn," everyone who knew him shouted, "and water blasted out of the toilets washing her away. Even the showers blasted and Annabeth got wet. She told me that she wanted me on her team for capture the flag, as bait, which I figured out later. She handed me off to Luke, we made some small talk and I got to know of Annabeth's desperation to go on a quest."

"Over the next few days, everyone was trying to figure out my parent, but the only thing I was good at was canoeing, which was not expected of a person who had defeated the Minotaur. Luke gave me sword fighting lessons and generally acted like a big brother to me. On Capture the Flag night, it was Athena, Hermes and Apollo against the rest. I was put on border patrol, near the creek, as bait. Five Ares kids against me. I fell into the creek, fought better, broke Clarisse's spear, sorry, and won. I figured out the plan when Annabeth appeared near me, but she figured out my parentage when she saw a sword cut on my arm heal itself, before I could get properly angry at her. She was about to tell Chiron, but then a hellhound from the Fields of Punishment attacked me inside camp."

"Wait, how did it get inside?" MY (Michael Yew) asked.

"Someone summoned it," Katie replied avoiding looking at Luke while she did.

"It was killed by Chiron and the Apollo cabin and I was put into the water to heal, as it had managed to give me a good-sized cut, by Annabeth. As I was healing, Poseidon claimed me and Chiron announced it dramatically."

"Poseidon, you still claim him?" Zeus asked with a glare.

"Yes, I do."

"He is not supposed to be born because of the oath."

"Hey, dad," Thalia and Jason waved to him, causing him to gape at his children and his brothers to burst out laughing.

AC's fingers caught on to the tattoo on Jason's forearm. SPQR, Eagle, Twelve lines. She had never seen anything like that. Her early Latin lessons made her think that SPQR stood for Senatus Populusque Romanus, but she dismissed the thought. The eagle clearly meant Zeus, strengthened by the electric blue eyes that looked so much like Thalia's. The ADHD part of her thought how the heck is she alive? but she ignored it. Jason was muscled up, the kind you get when you have trained at camp for years, but she didn't know him and neither did she see any necklace, indicating that he had never been to camp. The muscles may be because of gym. But, how can a demigod, a child of Zeus at that, survive for so long on the streets without getting to camp. So, curiosity got the better of her, she is a daughter of Athena after all.

"What is that on your arm?" she asked Jason.
