The Children of Sky and Earth

First Day, Last Day

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or The Heroes of Olympus. Uncle Rick does.

As the sunlight broke through the curtains, the sounds of the city became even louder, and finally the alarm went off, Percy woke up.

He jolted up in excitement pupping his fists in the air. "Graduation day!" Completely forgetting about poor Alyssa who he flung away in his sudden movement as she shrieked in surprise and landed on the other side of the bed.

"Good morning to you too Percy." came Alyssa's grumpy voice.

"I'm so sorry Alyssa, I um, sorry I'm just excited, last day I have to deal with all these mortal matters and being school president!"

"Gods Percy, keep it down. You're mom will either think there's someone here with you or that you've gone crazy. Now, how do we get to school, and I don't have clothes to change into." She said sniffing her clothes.

"Don't worry about the clothes, my sister Piper insisted to put spare sets of clothes in everyone's flats for emergencies. as for how to get out of here I'll figure that one out. Don't worry. You go ahead and take a shower, the clothes should be on the lowest drawer on the right by the sink. Towels are in the closet next to the water closet, and new brushes should be found on the first drawer on the left at the sink." Alyssa nodded at everything Percy said and then headed into the bathroom.

Alyssa tried her best to hide her blush from Percy. She couldn't believe that yesterday the most popular and attractive guy ever even looked her way, to then talk to her, then in private, help her with her dad problems, turns out his a super powerful deity that wants to take over the world, but isn't actually a bad guy because he wants to take rule from the gods. She joined him, which means betraying her friends and her mother, not that she minded the last one much, she then became the first member in the Perseus House, she was then carried, taken to his home and then stayed in Percy's bed, with him! Now she was not only entering his bathroom which was impressively large and even more impressively clean, but she was going to take a shower where he takes his showers.

She stepped into the shower once she had gotten a towel and set it by the stand, she turned it on and began to wash her body. The thought then came as she felt herself get hot in the face again. She was naked, only a few meters away from Percy, even though she was in a separate room, but still, she was washing her naked body where he washes his every day, so embarrassing, yet so thrilling.

She finally stepped out of the shower, and opened the drawer to the clothes, when she opened the stowed she was hit by realization, this was Piper McClean's clothes, in other words, very fashionable and attractive, definitely not the look she typically goes for. She sighted and closed the drawer, burnished her teeth, cleaned her face. She opened up the drawer again and pulled out what she though suited her best. She applied light makeup, and then went to the door. She knew she looked good, it came natural as a Aphrodite kid, but still she was nervous, this was Percy, and it's clear that every girl at school fantasizes of being with him, and she's not excluded. Not to forget that he's also more attractive than any of the Aphrodite guys, and if Aphrodite was a guy, Percy would probably still be much more attractive.

She took a deep breath to calm down and stepped into the room. Percy turned to look at her only to end up speechless. All he managed was a incoherent combination of different sounding rubbish. He checked her out, a cute pink bottom down, under a sweater that had light pink and light green diamonds in the center. She had rolled her sleeves up slightly, the shirt wasn't tucked in so it came under the sweater. She had dark blue jeans, and green converse. Her makeup only got rid of the minuscule imperfections she had, still keeping the natural look. Her hair was let free as it cascaded down to the small of her back.
