Percy and Annabeth-Their future

Gymnastics Class

Hey my little demigods!!!!!!!! Authors' Note will be at the end from now on. So I'm just not going to write the beginning ones anymore :) I will try for a longer chapter!!!!

"Are you excited?" I asked Sophia as we drove to the gym. It was early Fevruary, and she had turned four two weeks ago, so the first thing she wanted to do was take gymnastics. 

Sophia's face gleamed. She sat in the back seat in her adorable sweat pants and tee shirt, her gym bag next to her.

"Yes. I'm gonna do the spilts!" I laughed at her face. She still had a small dent in her head from falling off Olympus. But it was adorable. Her second battle scar. We pulled into the parking lot of Star Gymnasts Gym. I got out of the car, then helped soph. We then headed to the front doors, Above the doorway, it read, " Be the STAR of the STARS." Inspirational. 

A woman stood behind a desk at the front of the gym. There were girls of all ages there, from 4 to 14. I recognized the uneven bars, the balance beam, and the horse. 

"Hello," I said to the woman, "we're here for the four year old class at 3:30." I know we're early. I-"

"Hi. I'm Deb. You're part of the FireStars. Here's your eotard. You can change in the little girls room. Then I'll show you where you'll go everyday. Your name is..."

"Sophia Jackson." Sophia said, smiling. She took her leotard and walked into the doors where Deb pointed. 

"You can sit in the parents room, but first we have to go over a few things. Here's her contract for the year. If you'll sign that... Thank you. Okay so arrive here every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:00. She can change here and get situated. Class starts at 3:30 sharp. If you're late, that's not so good. Once you're seven, it counts against you." I nodded, " The head coach's name is Coach Lloyd. He's over there. But Sophia's coaches will be Coach Macaulay and Coach Zita. She wouldn't get Coch Lloyd unless she was on the competitive team, and you have to be 10 to do that." I nodded yet again. Then Sophia emerged from the little girls room wearing a red and bleack leotard with black shorts on. I snapped a picture. 

"You look great!" Deb said. We followed her to the gym, as I took Sophia's gym bag from her. There was a small walkway.

"You can sit in here and watch if you'd like." Deb said, nodding towards a large lifted glass room. 

"Okay. Bye Sophie! Do great out there!" Deb smiled and took Sophia's hand as I settled into a couch in the front of the room. I saw Sophia shake hands with two women. One had a jacket on tht read ZITA. She looked about 20 or so. The other girl, who wore a leotard and a jacket with the name MACAULAY on it looked about 16. I smiled as she sat down with some other girls. They all wore the same red and black leotard with the black shorts. 

"they are so adorable," someone said next to me.

"I know," I said smiling. "Which one is yours?" I responded, looking at the woman. She had chesnut brown hair and wore a simple tunic top and jeans with blue Toms on. She tucked her shoulder-length hair behind her ear and smiled.

"The little one with the chesnut brown hair next to the blonde haired girl. They both have buns in their hair?" I laughed. 

"The other girl is my daughter Sophia!" We watched as they learned how to do a somersault. She laughed as well.

"That's my daughter Grace. My name is Marissa Hodgekins." I smiled, shaking her hand.

"My name is Annabeth Jackson." The girls were now doing somersaults down small ramps.

"Do have any other kids?" Marissa asked as she adjusted her sitting position. 

"Yes. I have twins, a boy and a girl, named Rion and Selena." I took out my cell phone and showed her a picture. 

"Those are gorgeous names. Can I get your cell phone number? Sophia seems really sweet, and Grace seems to love her! Maybe we can carpool here!"

"That would be great! I think that Sophia feels the same way about Grace," I told Marissa, making sure she was read for my number. As I told her it, I watched Sophia learn backwards somersaults. She and Grace were giggling about something together. Coach Zita moved them along to the back of the line.

"Do you have any other kids?" I asked her as I clicked DONE on the contact.

"Not yet, but my husband and I are hoping to have at least three."

"Three is a great number. It's not too uch, but not too little." Marissa smiled, then turned to watch the kids again.

"Hey, we're having a Valentine's Day Party next weekend. Do you want to come? So far, we only have my parents, Josh's parents, and our siblings and their families, plus two other families from my high school, and three families from our college. It would be great if Grace had someone to play with."

"I'll have to check with Percy, my husband, but I would love to come!"  The girls had just finished a cheer and were heading up to the room.

"Great job!" Marissa and I said in unison, high fiving our daughters.

"Soph, this is Mrs. Hodgekins, Grace's mommy."

"Hi Mrs. Hodgekins! My name is Sophia. Grace is really nice. Mommy, can we have a playdate?" I smiled.

"We're going to go to their party next weekend. Plus, you can see Grace on Thursday." Sophia sighed.

"Fine. Bye Gracie!" Sophia ran to the door and waved.

"Bye Sophia!" Grace shouted back. Marissa waved goodbye.

"Bye Annabeth. Bye Sophia. We'll see you soon!"
