We trudged over towards the palace after a long day of yelling, fighting and playing with my adorable yet incredibly devious baby brother, who was currently getting a piggyback ride from yours truly. The kid was so beat, he wasn't even talking, which for a hyperactive Ty is most definitely a stretch. So he just sprawled on my back, little arms around my shoulders as he yawned to his heart's content. My baby bro was really adorable.

"Perce are we there yet? " He drawled out almost sleepily.

"Just a bit more buddy. I'm gonna put you to bed soon enough." I reassured him.

"Where is Annie? " He yawned for the umpteenth time.

"I'm here Ty-Ty." She assured him. Huh, she was being pretty quiet too, something that as for my brother, was a stretch for my fierce eyed Annabeth too.

Quickly climbing the stairs, we reached Ty's room. Annabeth held the door for me, as I went through with Ty still on my back like a baby monkey. Wait does that make me momma monkey? Yesh...

Upon reaching the bed, I softly slid him off my back and into the soft mattress, trying not to wake him up. As soon as he hit the mattress his sleepy eyes opened.

"Percy... Annabeth..." He yawned. "Will you tell me a story?"

"Umm buddy I think you can go sleep now, you look pretty tired." I chimed in.

"Pleaseeee!" He whined, doing his puppy dog face, that was somehow even more convincing on his sleepy state.

"Fine. " I let out a breath, sitting on the side of his bed. "What story do you want?"

"Annie you sit too. " His majesty requested. I just rolled my eyes when Annabeth did as told and set beside us. Why was she never as attentive to me as she was to Ty? Treachery I say!  "I want the Fleece story!"

My heart dropped at that. You see the Fleece story was a story I made up when I was about 12 years old, in which the great hero Percy would fight monsters to get a Fleece with healing magical powers so he could bring my horse Sandy back to life. The problem is that the story may contain a "romantic" sequence between great hero Percy and a fair maiden who is described a lot like Annabeth and possibly named Annabeth. No, I did not have a crush on Annabeth, it was just that every hero had someone they loved to help them or to get back to, that I wanted hero Percy to have one. At least he didn't choose the Tartarus one...

"Umm are you sure you don't want the Peter Pan story? Stardust? Or even Snow White?" I smiled sheepishly. Please choose another story! 

"No I want the Fleece story! And don't change anything! " The little monkey insisted. Stabbed in the back by my own brother! Mutiny!  Wow I'm overly dramatic today huh?

"Fine... Once upon a time there was a brave, awesome and handsome hero called Percy Jackson." I said dramatically as I heard Annabeth snicker behind me, Ty imitating her amused expression.

"I beg your pardon miss Annabeth." I decided to tease her.

"Gods, I'm sorry Percy but it's just too funny. " She laughed a bit.

"Well, if you can please hold your laughter while I exhibit my pure talent at story telling and dramatizing." I mock reproached her.

"I'm sorry dear sir. " She followed my lead. "Please do continue on with your craft."
