When I heard my favorite daughter was dating sea scum's sea spawn I was ready to smite her. Then I remembered I could send her on the toughest quest I could. I gave her an original Athenian silver drachma and sent her to retrieve the Athena Parthenos. A statue of me. They built it to honor me, I'm not surprised of course. I did beat Poseidon when I gave the people of Athens the olive branch, of course they named Athens after me. I can't believe that oyster even tried to beat me.

When I got the iris message that Annabeth was coming with the sea scum's sea spawn I was not happy. I intend on convincing her to break up with him. He's the reason they fell into Tartarus. I am convinced of it. I heard he wanted to let her go but she convinced him to stay with her. So he doesnt truly love her. I'm not surprised. What can I expect when his father is Poseidon? I'm disappointed to hear that... that boy is who my wisest child chooses! I'll have to convince her otherwise. She should find a nice boy from, hades, I'd [refer a child of Apollo over that sea scum.

"Athena, be nice."

"Yes father." Oh Zeus, wait till you see how disrespectful he is. You'll want to smite him yourself. When they stepped out, I noticed the boy I attempted to scare all those years ago was a strong young man I was even more disappointed in my daughter. She obviously only likes him for his looks.

"Mother." Annabeth kneeled at my throne.

"Rise my child. You too Sea Scum." Percy rose, at least he knew I was talking about him.

"Athena!"

"Shush Poseidon." Percy went to kneel at his father's throne and once he was told to rise they started up a conversation like Poseidon isnt a god. How disrespectful! I cannot have my child love such a disgrace.

"Mother."

"Annabeth. I'm glad you are okay. Thank you for coming to see us. Now about that... boy toy of yours..." She clenched her jaw.

"Mother—"

"Don't interrupt me child."

"My apologies mother."

"Now, I understand why you find him attractive, but there is more to man than his looks. I'm disappointed to see you choose a disgraceful mate."

"Mother I love him."

"I can have Aphrodite fix that."

"He's my best friend mother."

"So? Thats fine with me, just don't date him. I expect more of you Annabeth." 

"He's the reason I survived Tartarus."

"He's also the reason you fell."

"Thats not true."

"Yes it is he let go of the ledge. We saw!"

"You saw us fall and did nothing to help us?" Shit.

"Annabeth, it was what had to be done for you to defeat Gaea. Besides I was dealing with my Roman side."

"I remember. You disowned me."

"I would say I regret that, but I see you with that sea scum and I stand by that." Her eyes were watering. No
child of mine cries. "Get a hold of yourself Annabeth. No child of mine ever sheds a tear."

"Mother. I am human. I can't be a stone faced warrior all the time."

"I expect more of you."

"Wise Girl!" I turned, you see that's what Ares calls me.

"Percy I don't think now's a good time—"

"You're crying."

"I—I'm fine Percy."

"Lady Athena."

"Sea Scum." Instead of cowering as I expected he smiled. He kneeled which was a good sign. "I thought I told you to stay away from my daughter when you were what... fourteen?"

"Lady Athena, I love your daughter. I can't help but love her."

"Aphrodite!" She huffed and sauntered over.

"Ah yes my favorite pair of soulmates."

"You made them soulmates?"

"I don't make soulmates, such things are destined and written in stone centuries and centuries before they are born. How unfortunate it is most of your children never find theirs. Annabeth is of course a very special case." I look over to her, she's hugging Percy. If he wasn't the Sea Scum's spawn I might give him a chance. 

"I need you to break them up."

"Never!"

"Aphrodite—" She walked away before I could tell her off." I sit back into my throne as Percy takes Annabeth's hand and whispers in her ear, making her laugh. He kissed a spot under her ear, and whispered another something in her ear before she walked back over to me. "Annabeth. It is absolutely unacceptable that you would dare even touch such an absolute disgusting spawn."

"Mother, I understand your concern but I can assure you, I won't break up with him. Not after you guys let us fall into Tartarus, and took him away from me for eight months."

"I was actually pleased with Hera when she did that now that you mention it." Her jaw got tighter.

"Mother I love him. Poseidon approves of us. Why can't you?"

"Poseidon approves?"

"Yes he does. He actually wants whats best for his children."

"Even that cyclops mistake?"

"Tyson is no mistake."

"Oh so now you defend a cyclops after what happened to Thalia?"

"Mother why must you be so adamantly against my happiness?"

"I'm not opposed to your happiness, I actually believe you would be much happier with that son of Hephaestus, or even that son of Zeus."

"Mother, they both are in relationships. I love Percy. I can't help it. I tried for four years to deny the feelings I felt. Now I finally admit that Percy is what makes me happy. Please accept that."

"Leave."

"Sorry?"

"Leave Olympus. Now."

"Fine. Goodbye Mother." She didn't even bow, she bowed to Poseidon and kissed that Percy, who now that I look at them they do seem to be real soulmates. Dam you Aphrodite. 

I have no clue what that was... I just was reading some one shots and saw some original ideas and was in the middle of a different idea when this struck. I hope you like it!
