My Dinner Goes Up in Smoke (Sally)

[Word of....fast enough]

"That thing is awesome!!" Leo exclaimed.

"You only think that because you're fireproof," Frank said.

"No, I think it's cool too," I chimed in, before muttering to myself, "Of course, it helps that I'm pretty fire resistant"

[Finally we... the plumbing]

"So you could say the force is strong with this one?" Leo said with a mischievous smirk.

"I guess so," I replied with a chuckle.

"Wait what? I don't understand," Hazel said confused.

"Leo was making a reference to a movie," Annabeth explained.

"Oh."

["You need.... home now"]

"Out of everything, that's the reason?" Piper asked.

"More like, seeing the Naiads was the straw that broke the camel's back," I explained.

[Annabeth frowned... "Half-god"]

"By George, I think he's got it," Nico quipped, to which I just rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him.

[Annabeth nodded.... your dad?"]

"Ooh, bad move Kelp Head," Thalia said.

"I figured that out for myself thanks, Pinecone Face," I told her.

[Her hands... is that?"]

"Now, Annabeth dear, in Percy's defense, you don't really hear about the children of the female gods, so it was a logical assumption," Chiron chided gently.

"I know, Chiron. I just let my hubris get in the way," Annabeth said, "I'm sorry, Percy."

"It's alright Annabeth, I promise. It's in the past anyway."

["Who's your.... loved her."]

I saw a small smile grace my parents' faces and Paul's flash with a twinge of jealousy.

"I never stopped," my dad whispered.

[Annabeth gave.... behave better]

"You're right, Perseus, we should," Hestia said, shooting the other gods a pointed look.

"At least you guys have gotten better at claiming your kids" I said, trying to be optimistic.

"It helps that you made them promise to claim their kids by the time they turn 13," Annabeth whispered to me.

"True," I whispered back.

["So I'm.... like that."]

"Really?" Paul asked surprised.

"Yeah. There are quite a few famous demigods throughout history," Annabeth said.

"Like who?" Frank asked, curiously.

"The Wright brothers were sons of Hephaestus actually. The founder of this mortal girl group, similar to the Hunt or the Amazons, was a daughter of Apollo. Actually, Walt Disney was a son of Apollo as well. Many artists are children of Apollo, a lot of the Founding Fathers were actually sons of Athena, inventors are often children of Hephaestus. There are so many others, it's impossible to list them all," Annabeth rambled.

"OK, wise girl, breathe," I said chuckling.

["So monsters... Practical jokes?"]

"Never again," Annabeth said forcefully.
