The boy who grew up

"What do you mean he's your brother? I am!" Jason snapped and Thalia raised an eyebrow,

"Nope, Percy is. I'm his favorite sibling, tell em Perce." She said confidently and Nico and Bianca rushed in.

"I'm his favorite!"

"No I'm his favorite!" All 3 of them glared at each other and Leo looked at Percy seriously,

"You gotta pick one man, I'm dying here with the suspense!" Percy completely forgot about Jason and Piper and turned to his family. They all had that puppy dog look and Percy looked at Thalia.

"Give me a reason, just a little bit enough! Sorry, give me a reason why you could be known as Percy Jackson's favorite sister." Thalia cracked her knuckles and took a deep breath,

"Well, we started out cousins so we already were family. Then I was there for you during your old life when Luke was bullying you-" he saw flashes of memories of Luke and Annabeth.

"-and I was your shoulder to lean on, your number one supporter. Then you vowed to always protect me-"

-MEMORY-

Percy looked around in confusion and noticed that he was absorbed into a memory. He was on a roof and could see the stars shine brightly over the house, the moon looked huge and bright. He saw himself when he was skinny and weak talking to Thalia. They both had their feet dangling off the roof and looking out at the sky.

"Beautiful stars." Thalia commented and past Percy rolled his eyes,

"The stars are always beautiful Catherine obvious."

"Did you just say...you've been watching Victorious again."

"And so have you if you remember that line!" He pointed an accusing finger at her and she pretended she was going to bite it. He pulled back really fast and his eyes widened, she laughed at him and he nudged her with his shoulder,

"Thanks for...being there for me with Luke." He said and she looked guilty,

"I'm sorry, he's changed for the worst. He used to be nice and now he's like this? I heard he's trying to help Kronos run a political campaign against Zeus."

"At least you believed me."

"This Annabeth chick still doesn't believe you? How about I go knock some sense into that stupid blonde?" Past Percy looked at her in panic,

"Don't! I like her a lot!"

"But does she like you?"

"What?"

"Does she like Percy Jackson or does she like getting payed to tutor you?" Past Percy pondered this for a moment and looked sadly at Thalia,

"I guess she likes getting payed more."

"Then she's not worth your time, look Percy you are the coolest guy I know and if she can't realize that now then I don't know if she'll realize it ever. Don't wait around for her Perce when you can do so much better." Past Percy and future Percy smiled at her,

"Thank you so much Thals, when I get big and strong I will protect you no matter what!" He promised and Thalia chuckled,

"And when your head gets large from your huge ego I'll love you no matter what." He rolled his eyes but future Percy laughed. Thalia took out her pocket knife and gave herself a small cut, both Percy's looked at her incredulously,

"Are you turning emo?" Past Percy asked nervously and Thalia rolled her eyes and grabbed Percy's hand, she gave him a small cut as well and he raised an eyebrow,
