Oh gods. I had so many emotions. One, I had a twin, how did I not know, how did dad not know! Then again it was Hera, I'm sure she could do it. That was the other thing, Hera had taken another thing in my life but this time, it was for 17 years. To say I was pissed would be an understatement, a huge one at that. But right now, my excitement and joy overpowered it.

How did I figure it out? Well besides the fact she looked exactly like me, I could sense two bodies of water, pools most likely, meaning she had a connection with water. And she mentioned the fact she moved here a few weeks ago, when I made Hera swear on the river styx not to mess with my close family, and a twin definitely counts. The birthday just proved it. See, I'm not a total seaweed brain.

"So," Allie began, a confused but happy look on her face, "you mean to tell me that I have a family. And not only that but a twin." I looked at her and nodded up and down fast. Now it was her turn, she burst into tears and bear hugged me. We kinda just sat there crying and staring at each other for a bit. Annie went into the kitchen to give us a bit of privacy. Even if you could still see from the kitchen. I glanced at my Wise Girl and she was grinning almost as much as me.

"Tell me about my mom," Allie said. And I did, I told her about our trips to Montauk. I told her about Mom's World famous blue cookies, and why they were blue. I told her about Mom's strength during our time with Smelly Gabe, as well as when she petrified him. Allie's smile got larger at that, if it even could. I told her that Mom was pregnant and the baby was due in December. Allie started crying again. We sat there talking for probably an hour more. Annabeth cut in a few times to tell her stories about Mom from when I was gone, some of which I didn't even know.

Soon, Allie pointed out the time, it was already 9, and told us that she had a spare bedroom if we wanted to stay over. I instantly agreed and Annabeth just nodded. She showed us our room and we went to bed, all of us still smiling like hyenas. Luckily, I was blessed with a dreamless night.

I had a family, and my twin was right through a wall. I still couldn't believe it even as I saw Annie in the kitchen along with Percy, making blue pancakes. I could get used to this, I thought. They had told me about my Mom, Sally Jackson, last night. She seemed like the best person in the world. Percy definitely thought so and I couldn't blame him.

"Good Morning Twin." Percy said as he hugged me.

"Good Morning Stalker" I responded. Annabeth laughed at that. I had told them my nickname for Percy last night. Annabeth had burst into a fit of laughter. Percy dramatically gasped and put his hand over his heart as if he had been wounded. "Stop it, you're beginning to act like Zeus." I had told him. This sent Annie into another fit of laughter while Percy looked genuinely stunned but that soon gave way to laughter. I also told Annie that I called her, well, Annie, Percy went wide eyed, almost in fear. While Annie chuckled and said "Just to make him mad, you can call me Annie, but no one else is allowed to." I faked a bow while saying "Thank you madam Annie." This sent us all literally ROFL. Definitely my favorite night ever.

"C'mon you two, food is ready." Annabeth called. We all sat down and started eating.

"Percy," I started, "you were right, food being blue makes everything better."

"I tolsh yash" he said with a mouth full of food

"Gross!" Annie and I exclaimed at the same time, sending us into another fit of laughter. We sat there for a bit before I had an idea.

"Hey guys," I began, "So, Annie, I know your all goody-two-shoes and all." I was interrupted by Percy howling in laughter, after he calmed down I started again, "I was wondering if we could, maybe, possibly, skip school today so I could meet mo-I mean Sally."

"Oh my gods, you said mom!" Percy said excitedly.

"Is that ok, I mean like after I meet her?" I ask hesitantly

"Of course you can Dusty" That was Percy's nickname for me, along with Al, Ay, Twinsie, and hoodie. I just smiled back.

"And of course we can skip school, it'll happen a lot anyways." Annie replied, smiling as well.

"Then it's settled." I told them.

TIME SKIPITY TO THE END OF THE CAR RIDE-ITY (Still Allie)

We got to the apartment complex. It was a bit cheaper and smaller than mine, but mine was bought by a god. We had decided that Stalker and Annie would go in first, ask about having a twin, while I wait down the hallway-apparently the walls are paper thin so I might be able to listen- then, after they finish, Percy will stomp, or make some kind of thump sound. Which will be my clue to knock.

I watched as Perce and Annie knocked on the door, I was hiding behind a corner.

"Percy! Annabeth!" exclaimed a motherly voice. Sally, I thought to myself, no, mom. She sounded sweet, she sounded like home. My mom continued, but in a more condescending tone this time, "Aren't you two supposed to be at school?"

"Well yes, but we have a few questions for you, Mom" my twin told her. My mothers voiced softened at this.

"Very well," she said, I heard a squeak. Must be the door opening more. I was right. "Come in already you two!" she voiced. I smiled to myself as the door closed. I had a real family.
