"Guess who's back," I yelled as I walked over to the training area at Camp Half-Blood.

     "ASTER," yelled Percy and hugged me.

     The only other person here was Annie so I had no idea where the others went.

     "Hey Annie," I said giving her a hug.

     "I'm so glad your back, I couldn't deal with this child any longer," Annie said with a sigh of relief.

     I laughed and said, "Where are the others?"

     "Their witchy selves are tried already so they went to rest," Anna said rolling her eyes.

     "So what did you learn there," Percy cut in not even letting me say one word to Annabeth.

     "I generally know how to use all my powers now, especially the ones I got from Zeus, Poseidon, and Hephaestus," I exclaimed excitedly to share.

     "This means we are twins," Percy yelled jumping around.

     Annie stared at him confused, "How are you and her twins?"

     "She is good at using the powers blessed to her by Poseidon and I'm the son of Poseidon, boom twins," Percy said and threw his hands out in the air as if we were dumb.

      Anna and I looked at each other and laughed.

     "Oh come on Wise Girl, it was a perfectly responsible idea," Percy said turning to face Anna.

     Anna lifted an eyebrow up, "Responsible?"

     "Yes that one word that means that it made sense or something," Percy said confused.

     "Ohh you're talking about reasonable," Anna said laughing.

     I shook my head, "I think it's time Percy starts summer school."

     "What," Percy exclaimed loudly.

     "Don't seem so offended, it's the truth," Annie said bluntly. 

     "ASTER!! YOU HAVE RETURNED! GUYS THIS IS MY SISTER OVER HERE," I heard James yell as he ran over to me.

     James caught me by surprise as he pounced on me and gave me a bear hug. I don't know why I was surprised when this is exactly something that James would do. He is surely an idiot. I will send my regards at Lily and James's wedding. 

     "Good to see you too," I said patting James on the head. 

     "Oh get off her, I want to give her a hug too," Mars said in a bossy voice.

     "Hey guys," I said giving Mars her own separate hug and then giving a group hug to Mary, Lily, and Alice.

     "Where are the Black sisters, and Ted, and my little bubblegum," I asked looking around.

     Reggie sighed, "Andy and Ted are renting an apartment but Bella and Cissy had to go back home because Druella was being a bit of a bitch."

     I shrugged, "Makes sense."

     "If you want to go visit Andy, I can um maybe take you," Sirius said nervously.

     I wonder where all his confidence from a few days ago went. 

     We all then crowded in Percy's cabin who complained that it was way too crowded until Anna pulled Percy away and gave him a lecture. I told them that I can control some of my powers through my eyes. I then found out that Percy and Anna had a bet on that. Anna obviously won so now Percy has to be her servant for the rest of the week. It's not like Percy doesn't already worship the floor that Anna walks on. It's cute. 

     After Percy finished acting like a child as James joined in, I continued my story. I told them about Heph and my friendship and how I learned how to throw fireballs. I had learned how to control waves from Poseidon but then he and Zeus decided that half a day would be enough because Percy could help me out. I know, Zeus and Poseidon agreeing on something. Shocker. 

     Some of the simple stuff I learned was how to heal from Apollo, charm speaking from Aphro, and nothing really from Ares besides him helping me how to make my movements more exact. Artemis helped me control myself better in my animagus form, Hermes taught me how to quickly get from one place to another using my powers from Zeus since I could fly. Athena taught me how to have better battle strategies and how to make a working sword if I were to lose a weapon, Demeter showed me how to make vines grow and wrap around someone to strangle them, Hestia gave me the gift of peace and told me that it isn't always idle to get into a fight. Hades isn't an Olympian but he showed me how to become invisible for a short period of time.  Finally, the bitch Hera, told me that she blessed me to be able to give marriage advice. Waste of my time. 

     "Wow," Alice said.

     There was nothing else really to say. Wow summed it all up.

     "I still can't get over the fact that Zeus and Poseidon agreed on something," Anna said shaking her head at Percy.

     Percy's smile suddenly turned into a smirk, "Dad said that I get to train you!"

     "May the gods be looking out for me," I said in a fake scared voice. 

     "Hey! It's not like I'm going to kill you," Percy said rolling his eyes.

     "You might-," Fabian started.

     "-Accidentally," Gideon finished. 

     Mars and Reggie both elbowed their respective boyfriends. 

     "So this Heph person, you both seem to be very close," Sirius said rolling his eyes.

     Jealously never looked good on Sirius.

     "He's a freaking god, chill," Remus said to Sirius patting him on the head.

     I sighed and said, "Where's Peter?"

     "Dead."

     "Sleeping."

     Remus and James both looked at each other glaring.

     "He is sleeping, not dead," Remus explained to James.

     James brushed him off, "He's dead."

     Lily and I facepalmed. 

     Trying to steer the conversation away I said, "I don't know about you guys but I'm gonna go visit my little bubblegum."

     "I'll come with you," Sirius said standing up.

     "No, it' f-," I started saying.

     Anna cut me off, "It's a great idea don't you think Mary?"

     Mary gave Anna a knowing look, "I agree completely."

     "Us too," Lily and Mars said together. 

     I rolled my eyes, "Fine."

     I quickly changed into more comfortable clothes as Sirius knocked on the door of Cabin 1. I took a deep breath in and opened the door.

     "Let's go," Sirius said giving me his arm.

     I wanted to reject his arm so badly but then I would feel bad.

     "Just take my arm, I heard that New York is a very dangerous place," Sirius said rolling his eyes at my hesitance. 

     I groaned and wrapped my arm around his.

     I admit that I missed this but I can't have Sirius know. I looked up at him and he had a giddy smile on his face. Gods, I missed him so much. 

     Sirius told me that Andy and Ted's apartment wasn't that far away so we could walk. We walked past the barrier and protection of camp and I followed where Sirius was taking me. Hopefully, he wasn't gonna kill me for breaking his heart. 

     "I know that I might not have another chance with you but I want you to know that I'm never going to forget about you. You will always be my first love," Sirius said in a low voice.

     "Sirius-," I started saying.

     Sirius shushed me, "I don't want to hear anything unless you're gonna tell me that we are getting back together."

     I sighed and leaned my head on his shoulder as we continued walking.

     When Sirius and I arrived at the apartment he knocked on the door.

     I lifted my head from his shoulder and looked back at him. His eye immediately met mine once again. Our staring contest was cut short by Andy opening the door with a baby Nymphy in her arms.

     I looked away and I gave Andy a huge hug, "I missed you so much."

     "I missed you too. Hello Sirius," Andy said welcoming us both in. 

     I took Nymphy away from Andy and put her in my arms, "Aren't you the cutest!"

     Nymphy's hair turned yellow as she laughed up at me. 

     "Andy she is literally the cutest thing," I squealed at Andy.

     "She gets it from me," Ted boosted.

     "Hey Ted," I said as he gave me a hug.

     I then gave a brief summary of what happened at Olympus and made Sirius fill her in on some of the other stuff. I was not about to give her a 1-hour story as I did with the others. Andy was already tired from staying up all night because of Nymphy. 

     Instead of going back to camp this late at night, Andy invited Sirius and me to spend the night in their living room. I was so grateful because I was definitely not in the mood to walk back. 

     Andy and I put Nymphy to bed. After that Ted and Andy went to their room while Sirius and I were gonna sleep on the inflatable mattress. I had already made the Great Wall of China between Sirius and me.

     "You will make a great mother, you know," Sirius said in the darkness.

     "Um thanks," I said a little surprised that he was still awake.

     After a little while, Sirius whispered, "I miss you Aster."

     Once I knew he was asleep I said, "I miss you too Sirius."

     Uhhhhhh, hey guys! I've been gone for way too long but now I'm finally going to update! I missed you guys and this book so much.

     I'm gonna take a 2-week break to just reread the whole Percy Jackson series because I forget everything that was supposed to happen during the war. I'm also planning on writing an Apollo fic so it will be important. 

     I have a request for all my loyal readers. I forgot half the stuff I've written in this book so have Sirius and Aster said "I love you" yet?

     Did I say that Aster was going to be the child of the prophecy bc I kinda don't want her to be?

     Did u guys notice how Bella, Cissy, and Andy just disappeared from the last few chapters? I had to make up a story for them bc I completely forgot. 

     Vote. Comment. And. Share!

     Also, check out Delilah Solace bc I'll be updating that one soon.

    Stay safe and bye for now!
