Not Helping Aphrodite

Chapter Six

Percy pov.

It was an hour or two before dinner when I heard a knock at my door.

'Come on.' I called out.

The door opened and Piper, Hazel and Annabeth walked in.

'Hey, did you talk to your mum?' Piper asked me brightly.

'And if so, what did she say?' Hazel asked.

'And what did she say about this whole situation?' Annabeth asked.

I couldn't help the role my eyes and laugh at the three girls but I had to hand it to them, they had timing. Considering I still needed some help. Girly help.

'Well yes, I have Imed my mum, I told her the truth and my reasons why I was uncertain whether I should take the offer but mum was able to convince me that I should take it so did Paul.' I smiling.

'So are you going stick to the name Jackson?' Annabeth asked me with an amused smile.

'Yep.' I grinned.

'So you're going to be Penny Jackson?' Hazel asked thoughtfully. 'Won't anyone suspect?'

'I don't think so. Jackson is a common name.' I started. 'So I'm going say my name is Persephone Jackson. But I'm just going to tell people I prefer Penny.'

'Wow you have thought of everything.' Annabeth said.

'Help with what?' Piper asked looking somewhere in between curious and confused.

'Well from tomorrow on-wards. I'm going have the body of a girl and I don't exactly have nothing I could wear as a girl. So I need some clothes.' I said with an "well-duh" expression on my face. 'And I want your help picking out some clothes.'

Annabeth looked thoughtful, Hazel looked intrigued and Piper looked excited.

'Do you have a style in mind?' Piper asked.

'I was thinking maybe punk or girly-girl. I'm not sure.' I replied waiting them to laugh.

Hazel tilted her head to one side. 'I can see you as a girly-girl.' She said thoughtfully. 'Not sure about the punk style though.'

'I have to agree Hazel.' Annabeth said giggling slightly. 'You would look great as a girly-girl.'

'Girly-girl it is then!' Piper announced. 'Now do you any colours in mind?'

'Purple, blue and light green.' I said without any hesitation in my voice.

'Would you prefer dresses or trousers?' Piper asked.

'Either I guess.' I said getting a little unsure.

'Blouse or t-shirts.' Piper asked.

'You know what I let you decide on the clothes but I want those three colours.' I said.

Piper smiled. 'Okay, I'll go what I can see what I can rustle up but it would be easier if we know what size you are going to be.'

'Maybe we could try to summon your mother asked her.' I suggested.

'Yeah, we will try after dinner.' Annabeth agreed.

'Okay, what do we do in the meantime?' Hazel asked smiling.

'You could go and kiss Frank.' I suggested with a teasing smile.

'Yeah and Piper could go and snog Jason.' Annabeth agreed with a giggle.

Both Piper and Hazel turn bright red.

'Or we could play match-maker with you Annabeth.' Hazel suggested wiggling her eyebrows.

'Yeah, you and Percy could do that. And I'll go looking for some clothes for Penny for the morning.' Piper said recovering her wits.

'I'm game.' I said. We grinned at Annabeth who going completely red. 'So should we start with each and see who's more suitable for Annabeth.'

Hazel and I pulled Annabeth onto my bed while Piper run off.

After three quarters of a hour of teasing Annabeth and making dumb suggestions about who she date, Piper returned.

'Well, I'm got some idea what we can stick you in from tomorrow on-ward but we still don't know what your size is going to be.' Piper said.

'I guess, we could try to summon Aphrodite instead of after dinner.' Annabeth said.

'Yeah, maybe she can give you some dating tips.' I sniggered.

'You're being mean Percy.' Hazel chided.

'I'm only playing. Come on, let's try summoning the great goddess of love.' I said trying sound dramatic and equalling the three girls laughing at me.

'Well, I'm glad you think I'm great Perseus.' A woman spoke behind me.

'Mother.' Piper greeted.

'Lady Venus.' Hazel smiled sweetly.

'Aphrodite.' Annabeth said shortly.

'My lady.' I said. 'We just wanted to know what size I would be if I was a girl.'

'Oh that is very forward thinking.' Praised Aphrodite. 'I wound say you would be the same size as my dear daughter Drew.'

'Okay.' Piper said calmly. 'Way to throw Percy in the deep end mum.'

'I thought it was what he would like it.' Replied Aphrodite but there was a clear snigger on her lips.

I looked at Piper and asked: 'Do I wanna know?'

'Drew had the biggest breast in either camps.' Piper answered.

'So you're saying I'm going to struggle.' I said thoughtfully. 'Sound like a challenge to me.'

'That's very interesting view.' Aphrodite said impressed.

'Okay, thank you my lady.' I smiling. 'I just got do two more things before dinner tonight.'

'What would those be?' Hazel asked.

'I got to talk to Chiron and explain the situation.' I said. 'And then I have to IMed my dad or send him a letter by Hermes.'

'Well, I'm suggest you do the letter first.' Annabeth said.

'If you like I can send Hermes here in hour or two.' Aphrodite offered.

'Oh that will be great! Thank you my lady.' I said with a big smiled.

'Not a problem at all Percy.' Aphrodite smiled and with that was gone in a puff of pink smoke.

'Well look like I've got a letter to write.' I said brightly.

'Why did we let you that then.' Piper smiled.

And with that the three girls left and I started writing my letter.
