Percy's Flashback

Stop smiling! Don't you dare smile with my body when I'm fuming in here.

I can't help it. I'm happy. Very happy!

Don't you dare be happy about doing something with MY body that made ME very UNHAPPY.

I'm still very happy. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, my Wise Girl kissed me...

Sun? Birds!? Man, what happened to you?

My Wise Girl.

Really? This morning, you got revenge on Vanessa, the most scary cheerleader, in a way that earned us a MONTH of detention. Even I wasn't able to do that with only one shot. But now, just a few hours later, a girl kisses you, a NERD girl, and you turn into a lovesick puppy? What the hell?

Percy felt a hand grab his arm and squeezed it until he was sure the nails would leave a mark. He looked down at his arm and corrected himself. Talons. Those things could not be called nails.

Oh, no. Run!

Why?

"Peter? Did you forgot about me already, sweety?"

Because that's Sirena.

Crap.

Percy turned to face her and sure enough, she was smiling widely, but he could see the anger printed on her face.

"Hey, Sirena"

"So you still remembers me, right? Why were you avoiding me, Peter? Were you just busy?"

"Yes?"

A little help here?

I can't. She was my first serious girlfriend, I have no idea what to do in this situation.

"Peter ,why don't you kiss me?"

"Ahn..."

Percy could feel Annabeth looking at him. He wanted to run to her, but Sirena was surprisingly strong, and her grip on him wouldn't diminish. He felt her nails, talons, on his skin and had a weird moment remembering Mrs. Dodds, when she gave him a ride to see Hades at his throne. Of course, Hades then locked him up, until Nico came and...

"You wouldn't want me to think you don't love me anymore, right?"

Percy looked up and saw a shocked Annabeth staring at him. He tried to let her know how sorry he was about she witnessing that. But that moment costed him, because Sirena grabbed him and kissed. It wasn't a passionate kiss, it was a hard one. He knew she was making clear how furious she was and that he better not walk out. But a hurt Annabeth scared him more than anything. He disentlaged from Sirena with a move he would normally only use against monsters. He tried to look for Annabeth, but she wasn't there anymore. He quickly looked down to a chocked Sirena, soon turning into a furious one, and walked away.

Flashback over, back to the present

Percy was sitting on the edge of the bed. Then he got up again, paced around the room five times, and sat again.

Could you stop that?

I need to talk to Annabeth. Explain to her.

Then do it.

I don't know how.

It's easy. Explain that I have a girlfriend, and you have been avoiding her for the past three days, so when she caught up with us, she kissed me. You. Us?

That's not enough.

It's the truth! What else could she want? A roasted kidney with mashed potatos and a glass of Cabernet?

More likely my head, well-done, in a silver plate, with a Merlot.

And what else? Caesar's salad?

Stop it. Okay, here I go. Wish me luck.

What if you don't get lucky?

You'll never be able to have kids.

GOOD LUCK!

P: Sorry about that, I managed to avoid her for the past three days, but did not see her coming.

A: It is fine.

Oh-oh.

What is it?

She said fine.

And that is bad how?

Piper warned me, when a girl says fine, beware. You did something she hate. If she says she hated that or even that she hates you, you are clear. If she says it's fine, it's for you to shut up and wait without suspect anything, because she is planning how to destroy you. Body, mind and soul. So you have two choices, run for your life, or grovel.

Girls are weird, fine should be good. I will never understand girls.

They think this mistery is part of their charm.

And you agree?

It's not up to me to say it.

P: I have a feeling that it is not fine.

A: Piper?

Is she psych?

Hush

P: Piper. But don't worry, I will break up with the mermaid.

You will WHAT???

A: Mermaid? I like that nickname. When?

You will WHAT???

P: Tomorrow. Any ideas of how?

You will NOT break up with MY girlfriend!!

Do you want me out of your body?

YES!

Then we need Annabeth, and she is... possessive with her friends, and worse with her boyfriend, namely me, even if I'm inside your body. She will make our life worse that the Fields of Punishment if I date another girl for whatever reason. If you want her to be the genious daughter of Athena she is and find a way out of this mess, she needs to be happy, and not spending every free second to make our lives miserable, got it?

You will pay me for that.

Whatever.

A: Maybe drown her?

Hum...

Hum...

She is...

Careful with what you are going to say.

Harsh? Maybe dramatic? Have the mind of a mafia's boss? You know what, I won't talk to you.

Whatever.

P: Should I just ask Piper then?

A: You will not drown her?

P: I rather not to be arrested.

A: Yes, then you should probably ask Piper.

P: Hey, Wise Girl. If I didn't let the sirens from the sea of monsters itself take you away from me, a cheap copy called Sirena won't be able either.

A: Shut up, Seaweed Brain.

Oh, yeah.

What?

I thought you weren't going to talk to me?

Just explain to me why you are happy.

She forgave me.

She told you to 'shut up'.

Yes, but she called me a Seaweed Brain.

And that is good?

Yes. She is probably smiling right now.

Again, girls are weird. And what you meant by sirens from the sea of monsters?

Long story.

Tell me.

Are you sure you want to hear about me and Annabeth?

Well, I can't talk to anyone but you. And am I correct to assume you probably can't talk about anything without mentioning her at least once?

Yes, probably.

Then I might as well get used. Tell me about that sea of monsters. Sounds like a cool name for a book or something.
