"Hey Percy, I need to go to Walmart," Annabeth called from the kitchen.

Percy and Annabeth were finally married at the age of twenty-four. 

"Okay," Percy replied, taking his keys off the shelf and waiting for Annabeth at the front door.

"Go and hang out by the aquarium. I know you want to see the fishes."

Shrugging, Percy went to the aquarium to talk to fishes.

"Holy Poseidon! Is that the son of the sea god?" One gold fish asked.

"That's the son! That's the son!" The others chimed.

"Holy Poseidon! Is that Percy Jackson, master's son?"

"That's his son! That's his son!" 

The gold fishes kept repeating it.

"Guys, you've already said that. Five times." Percy told them.

"He answered!" One replied.

"He replied!" The other said.

It kept going on that way, until Percy remembered something. Gold fishes had a 3 second memory span, that was why they forgot whatever they said.

"Hey Annabeth!"

"Seaweed Brain! Weren't you looking at fishes?"

"I got bored of 'em."

"They were chiming son of Poseidon weren't they."

Percy was speechless. Even his wife knew what would happen when he went to the aquarium shop - and she couldn't hear the fishes.

"I bet you're never going there again."

"Definitely not. Unless Ellie wants a pet. But never a goldfish."

"She'd get frustrated too."

"How do you know that she can hear fish?"

"Because, Seaweed Brain, she's our daughter, any more silly questions?"

"Nope."

With that, Percy promised himself that he would never get a gold fish, and to remind Frank never to turn into a goldfish. 

But Annabeth had a different idea - to kiss him and buy a gold fish to annoy Percy. Of course she did ask his permission, but he was feeling light headed and agreed. 

She had definitely make him turn into a gold fish.
