Annabeth:

“But black is sooooo boring mommy! Can't I wear my blue dress? Please?!” I sigh as my little girl tugs at her dress, a puppy pout on her face.

“Bianca,” I sigh, my temper feeling tested. “We've been over this sweetie, you're going to pay your respect to grandma, you have to wear black.” She finally gives up,

“Fine! But I bet grandma would rather see me in blue.” She says stubbornly.

“I'm sure she would,” says a voice. “But you'll find it hard to find a way to ask her.” I turn to see Zöe standing in the doorway, Damien in her shadow. Bianca shrieks and runs towards her aunt, nearly knocking her over. Then Charlie appears from nowhere, and is hanging onto her waist.

“Zöe!” I grin, going to hug her myself. I peer over her shoulder. “Hey Damien, I didn't know you were coming!” I say addressing Zöe's best friend.

“I wasn't.” He admits. “But Zöe needs the support.” I smile at him, as I pull away from Zöe.

“That's sweet.” He blushes a little but before he can reply another voice joins the conversation.

“What's sweet?” Percy says, coming in, dressed in his best suit. “Zöe's boyfriend came with her to give her support.” Charlie pipes up.

“He isn't my boyfriend!” Zöe protests, blushing, but Charlie only sticks his tongue out at her.

Percy turns to me, a teasing smile on his face. “I give it a month.” He bets, which makes Zöe and Damien blush even more.

I shrug, smirking. “I give it two.”
