"Wait so people are supposed to actually want to have sex?" Percy questioned Annabeth. They were sitting on Percy's bunk in the Poseidon Cabin going through what he had missed during the school year, while he was unconscious. Unfortunately, that included Sex Ed.

"That's what it says in all the resources I've read so far, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth shrugged before closing the book she'd been holding. "Sexual urges are classified by the desire to have sex with someone or finding someone sexy." she put finger quotes around the word sexy "People just like to have sex based on what I've seen in my research so far."

"Umm. Is sex something that you want?" he asked awkwardly "Because I don't really want sex and I don't think I could do that." he wasn't looking her in the eye.
"No, Percy. I don't want sex. It's probably good that you don't want it either. Maybe there's something different about us. I need to look into this more, maybe there's some information in the books in my cabin." She moved to stand but Percy pulled her back down against him.

"What are your theories so far, Wise Girl. I'm sure you have some." he teased gently. She leaned against him.

"Well the gods are very sexual beings for the most part. With the exception of Lady Artemis, my mother, and a few other virgin goddesses. Maybe I get it from my mother, but on your side Poseidon sired quite a few of the heroes or old, and the villains." Percy shuddered.

"Don't remind me." he muttered "I'm literally related to the golden fleece, and we know that he had sex with Gaea because of Anateus." he made a face and gagged at the thought of having sex with Ol' Dirt face. "Any other theories." he nudged her along to stop focusing on the topic.

"It's possible that over the years of trauma and our time in the pit," a dark look crossed both their faces at the mention of Tartarus and Percy pulled Annabeth closer, "might have broken something in us or set a piece of our brains out of alignment, but it says that sexual urges start as early as 12 and I'm pretty sure neither of us had been terribly traumatized by that age."

"People want sex at that age?" Percy sticks his tongue out "That's weird." He thinks for a few seconds "Maybe we were just born different," he shrugs, "we should ask Mom, maybe she'll have an idea about it." Annabeth turned around so she was facing Percy, she looked somewhat surprised.

"That's not a bad idea, Seaweed Brain." He did a mock bow from his position on the bed.

"Thank you. I've been known to have them occasionally." he joked, "we can visit this weekend like usual or call her now." he gestured towards the fountain that was a gift from his father, Tyson had repaired it while he'd been missing. Annabeth slid off the bed and pulled Percy with her. She rifled through the pockets of her jean shorts.

"I know I have a drachma somewhere." she said getting progressively more annoyed before giving up. Percy fished through the fountain and pulled out a drachma. He tossed it into the rainbow formed in the steam coming off the hot salt water, as Annabeth moved to stand next to him.

"Oh Fleecy do me a solid, show me Sally Jackson, Upper East Side, Manhattan." The mist shimmered and cleared to reveal Sally and her husband Paul standing in the kitchen of their small apartment. They appeared to be discussing something. "Mom!" Percy called, interrupting the conversation. She and Paul turned to look at them and Sally's face broke out in a large smile.
