The first thought in Percy's mind was, what the Hades. Then he saw who it was, and he thought, what the HADES. "Sandy?" he asked, uncertain if he believed his eyes. But it was Sandy. His gold-brown hair, from his mother, and pale skin, from his father. And when their eyes met, he was certain. He only knew of one person who had eyes more gold than brown. Well, except for Kronos. Kronos had golden eyes. And that was the main reason he hadn't trusted Sandy the first time they met. But he had proven himself.
"Percy, what in Hades name are you doing here?" Sandy exclaimed. Their audience where now all gaping at the sound of Sandys' voice. Weird Sandy talked almost as much as Leo on a sugar rush, and that was without the sugar.
Percy shrugged, "These people kidnapped me." "We didn't kidnap him," North defended. Jack still looked stunned, because he stated, "You can talk." Percy facepalmed, "Of course he can talk. Have you never seen him on a sugar rush? He goes crazy. It's almost worse than when Leo found out how to sneak Red Bull into the camp and almost burned it down."
They all looked at him as he was the one out of his mind, which he will admit he sometimes was. "Who's Leo?" Sandy asked. Percy couldn't help the sad smile, "You missed out on a lot, old friend." He held out his hand to him, and he took it, letting him drag him up from the floor.
"Wait," Bunny said, finally escaping his shock, "You know each other?" "Know each other?" Percy asked, wasn't that an understatement, "This crazy guy saved my life two years ago. I owe him." "You owe me?" Sandy objected, "I wasn't the one who saved the world, so it's more me who owes you."
Percy rolled his eyes, "Yeah right. Let's just say that we're even." "That sounds good," Sandy grinned, "How's Grover? Has Nico gotten out of the closet? What about Will? Did Rachel get the art scholarship she wanted? And how's Annabeth?"
Percy's smile imminently disappeared, and he leaned against the wall behind him, "You missed a lot these past two years, Sandy." "They're not dead? Is she...?" Sandy asked hesitantly. They both knew of the dangers of a demigod life.
Percy shook his head, "Grover is in a happy relationship with Juniper and are expecting. Will and Nico are together, as a couple that is. Rachael is Racheal and loves the new school. And Annabeth..." Percy sighed, "She's alive, but things aren't good. Great-grandma decided to pay a visit together with her giants of sons, which dad and the rest of the family didn't tell us about. It started a lot of trouble. I was even forced in a coma for quite some time, and woke with amnesia thanks to Aunt Sky, and met our Roman brothers and sisters, which I assume you forgot to tell us about. I got a lot of new friends and we traveled to Alaska, Rome, and Greece. I and Annabeth took a detour down under and met great-grandmas' new boyfriend in the basement. He's not nice, and I'm afraid Annabeths mental health suffered from the meeting."
Sandy stared at him with wide eyes "You're not meaning..." "I'm afraid I am," Percy said. Sandy nodded, "It seems that we have a lot to discuss." He sighed, "A lot can happen in two years."
Bunny coughed, "Can anyone tell me what's going on? I'm lost." Percy looked at Sandy for answers, but he answered with a you-made-the-mess.you-clean-up -look. Percy sighed, "I'm related to this fool."
"How is that possible?" asked North, truly confused. "Well," Percy began, "My great-great-grandma is his great-grandma." "How old are you again?" Percy sighed, "Seventeen, soon eighteen." Everyone, except for Sandy and I tried to figure out how the calculation could be right, with Sandy being a teenager when the first Perseus where born. The thing is that Sandy is immortal, not in the Greek or Roman way. Though Sandy won't tell him how he achieved immortality, he had a feeling he might just have figured it out.
Percy yawned, deciding this conversation could wait, "I think I'm heading back to bed." Percy concentrated on the room he had woken up in earlier and vaportraveled away.
