Third Person's POV

"Percy. Where are you going?" Poseidon asked.

"To burn the food? We always do that." Percy said.

"You really don't have to. I'm here anyway." Poseidon said, as he sat down on the table.

"Meh. Tradition." Percy shrugged as he threw a slice of Pizza to the fire.

"Hmm... It smells nice." Poseidon said dreamily.

"You know you can take a slice, right dad? You're a god. You can take the mortal food if you want." Alex said.

"I know.." Poseidon said as he snapped his fingers, and a plate of pizza appeared in front on him.

"By the way. Just so you guys know.." Alex said. "I'm dating Nico."

"DiAngelo?" Poseidon asked.

"Uh huh." Alex said, and Percy stayed quiet.

"I'm not even going to say anything, because, you know, not my say." Percy said.

"Thank you." Alex said, and Nico walked closer and pecked her in the cheek before walking away.

"I am thankful you are a girl." Poseidon said.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Both Alex and Percy said at the same time.

"Well. I'm not taking you to ask blessings from Hades." Poseidon said. "DiAngelo's had to be the one that asks me."

"Dad!" Alex exclaimed, and Percy laughed.

"That's true though." Percy said. "I mean, he has to talk to me. Since I talked to Malcolm."

"Talked to Malcolm about what?" Annabeth asked.

"Nothing. Just whether he would tutor me or not, if I ever went to college." Percy lied smoothly.

"Why didn't you ask me, seaweed brain?" Annabeth asked, sitting next to Percy in the Poseidon table.

"If I went to college, you would too. And I think that as a child of Athena, you would like to focus more on your studies, rather than me." Percy continued to lie.

"I would never pick studies over you..." Annabeth said. "Where were you today?"

"Oh, I was with dad." Percy pointed at Poseidon. "Another visit to his castle. Underwater. And the the three of us went surfing."

"Oh.." Annabeth said. "Well you should've told me. I was worried, that you didn't show up with the rest."

"I'm sorry." Percy said, kissing her hand. "I'll make it up to you. What do you say, about a night stroll at the beach. Tonight. We haven't had one in weeks."

"I say, I'm in." Annabeth smiled. "Gotta go. Meet you after campfire. I hear the gods is staying the night."

"Really?" Percy turned to Poseidon, so shrugged. "See you. Bye.

"Bye." Annabeth said, as Percy kissed her, and she left.

"You see that Alex?" Poseidon said. "Your brother has my lady skills."

"Yeah right." Alex rolled her eyes.

"No. I have my awesome lady skills, the fact that you have some lady skills, just adds a bit to my enormous amount, of lady skills." Percy said, as they all broke out laughing.

"So? Tonight?" Alex asked.

"Tonight. Definitely." Percy said.

Dinner, and then camp fire. As usual, the Apollo Cabin lead the songs, but the Apollo cabin was lead by Apollo himself. His voice really was god of music worthy.
