I own nothing recognizable from anything.

Zeus P.O.V
I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to read more about this kid, she knew my wife's daughter, my wife actually cheated on me. I never say it out loud but it really hurt. What did this kid do to endear the Fates to her so much?

I Cut the Socks of Death

True to her words, nobody even realized I was gone, I suppose after running around all of space and time with her, twice I should have had more faith in her. I reckon with my luck some doubt is to be expected.

"On a scale of one to ten, how bad do you reckon your luck is?" Poseidon asks artlessly.

"Probably over ten" Percy comments. I had to agree with her.

"Hey Percy, it's time to go" Grover yelled, I don't know what he remembered for the last few weeks, at least I think it was weeks, it was years for me. So I opted for acting normal.

"Always good" Hermes agreed with the book. He is such a kleptomaniac, he's thousands of years old he should be over it by now I grumbled internally.

3rd persons POV.

His kids agreed with him, as did Percy, Will, and surprisingly both Annabeths. Grover grumbled about untruthful friends.

"Coming Grover" I yelled stuffing things in my suitcase.

"Honey, treat clothes nicely." Aphrodite told Percy who just rolled her eyes.

The other girls were joking around, talking about their vacation plans. One of them was going on a hiking trip to Switzerland. Another was cruising the Caribbean for a month. They were juvenile delinquents, like me, but they were rich juvenile delinquents. Their daddies were executives, or ambassadors, or celebrities. I was a nobody, from a family of nobodies.

"WHAT! Watch what you're saying girl. I'm not a nobody." Zeus thundered.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever you say uncle, whatever you say." The others stifled their laughter, only Percy could do that and not get vaporized.

Zeus tightened his grip on his Master Bolt, but all of a sudden Clarisse remarked rather randomly, "No, you're the Nobody, Percy." And for some reason known only to Percy, Will, Grover, Annabeth, Luke, and Clarisse the 6 of them started cracking up.

There was a lot of weird stares all around, except for their friends. Chris simply stated "It's probably one of their inside jokes. Percy shares inside jokes with everyone."
"Everyone? Even the gods?"
"Yes."
"Wow..."

It turned out that Grover really was taking the same greyhound bus as me.

"stalker," the Hermes and Apollo kids practically sang making Hermes and Apollo beam in pride.

He seemed to be freaking out epically, looking around trying to spot something, and then it hit me. Grover was looking for 'monsters' see the sarcasm. "Looking for Furies?" I asked as he looked out the windows.

"Oh, busted" Ares called, "Wonder how your gonna get out of that?"

"Not very well I'm guessing" Hades said, "He doesn't sound like that good of a liar"

"hey!" exclaimed both grovers. Everyone else was cracking up.

"What, no what's a Fury" he asked in a rush, his words all running together and then boom.

"Come on you're supposed to shout Uncle Sparky! Here give me the book." said Percy. Zeus turned so red that he looked like he was going to explode. However he somehow reigned that in and calmly handed Percy the book. "thank you."
