"PERSEUS, WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!" Yelled Triton jumping on top of his sleeping brother.

Percy grumbled and struck his hand out. A  powerful arc of lightning erupted from the sleeping gods' finger tips, blasting Triton against the wall.

"Demigod's hopped up on caffeine, what in Ares' bloody speedo was that?" Triton panted out.

Percy rolled over and fell back asleep.

"Perseus," Triton hissed. "How did you do that?"

"Do what?" Percy mumbled, only now realising that he was alone in the large bed.

"The lightning, how did you do that?"

"I dunno."

Triton summoned his trident and poked Percy in the side with the blunt end.

"Percy." Poke. "Bubbles." Poke. "Perseus." Poke.

"Stop doing that," Percy said.

"No." Triton poked Percy again. "That hurt like Hercales' fist up the ass, so no."

"Sorry," Percy tried to say but it came out as 'sar-ee'.

"What was that?" said Triton, jumping on top of his brother again.

Percy moved his face away from the pillow so that Triton could hear him. "Sorry."

"Alright Bubbles get up."

"Why?"

"Because Kym and I want to take you to disneyland," Triton said sarcastically.

"Yay." Percy stuffed his face back against the pillow.

Triton frowned, thinking for a moment. "Get up or I'll tickle you!" he threatened.

Percy tried to lift himself up but since Triton was sitting on his back he found that impossible.

"Guess I'll have to tickle you then."

"WHAT NO!"

"Too late," Triton said gleefully as he tortured Percy's sides. While the god in question had burst into a peal of giggles. Begging his older brother to stop.

Triton stopped. "I always had to do that to Anteros to get him to wake up so just try me. I'll do it again."

"I'm up, I'm up," Percy said, trying to push himself up again.

He managed to get himself up in a push up, then tucked one arm underneath himself so that Triton fell off.

The door flew open and Hermes stood there, brandishing a plastic light saber like a sword. "I'm here-"

Triton interupted him from where he lay on the floor, "I'm queer."

Then Percy chimed in, "And I'm not a deer."

Hermes finished his sentence, ingoring the two gods. "What happened? I heard a bang and there was a bright light, is anyone hurt?"

"My darling brother blasted me with lightning and it hurt like Hepheatus wacked you with a mace," Triton complained. The eldest god in the room then used his trident to push himself to his feet.

Hermes got a confused look on his face, "You've been wacked by the mace too?"

Triton rolled his eyes and nodded before wacking Percy on the head with his trident.

"What was that for?" Percy quickly got to his feet and inched towards Hermes before Triton could tickle him again. Giving both gods an excellent view of his bare chest.

Hermes looked him up and down before nodding. "When are you free?" he asked Percy.

"What?" Was Percy's intelligent answer.

"How about Paris? Or would you prefer Rome?" Hermes mused, his light saber gone.

Triton raised a hand in the air, "O great and unwise Hermes, care to share with the class what in the name of Hera's anus you're talking about?"

Hermes ignored him, "How about Venice? Dubai? Mabye a scenic place, hmm Finland? It's pretty scenic. Ooooo would you like to go to Australia?"

Triton poked Hermes between the eyes with his trident, "For the love of Thanatos' abs please stop talking."

"Thanatos' abs?" Percy said, raising an eyebrow.

Triton shrugged in response, "I think Hermes is planning to take you on a date. Put a shirt on and we can go back underwater. I forgot the surface was weird."

Hermes was still muttering to himself about different places that he could take someone out on a date to.

Percy walked over into Apollo's wardrobe that he had finally found(*cough* After Apollo had pointed it out to him *cough*) shutting the door behind him and grabbed a green t-shirt from the top of a neatly folded pile. He slipped it over his head before finding pants and boxers. He threw the other clothes into a corner and they magically cleaned themselves, folding over to stack up in piles of clothes.

Another thing about godhood that he had found out, he didn't need to brush his teeth or shower anymore. Apparently his 'godly awesomeness' as Apollo put it made him unable to get dirty unless he wanted to. So three cheers for that then. Also no more morning breath, godhood was beginning to look better the more he found out about it. Of course still with the major downside of immortality.

"Are you wearing Apollo's clothes?" Triton asked once he came out.

Percy just shrugged at him.

Hermes walked over to them and fell into Percy's arms. Percy caught him for some reason, forgetting that the older being is a god and wouldn't be hurt by falling on the ground.

"So when are you free? I'm not leaving until you give me an answer," Hermes said looking up at Percy.

Percy looked to Triton for advice on what to do. Triton mimed picking someone up bridal style and dropping them.

Percy followed the instructions to the best of his ability. He put an arm under Hermes' legs and lifted the god. He was expecting him to be heavy but was surprised that he barely felt the god's weight.

Percy followed Triton out of the sun god's temple and into Hermes' own temple.

On the way several passing gods and nymphs stopped and stared. They even passed a grumpy Anteros being dragged along by Eros. Who was practically jumping about chattering away about couples they could pair together today.

At first Percy had thought the love god's red eyes were creepy but when his own eyes started changing he didn't particularly want to be hypocritical.

Triton walked over to Anteros. Slapped him up the back of his head, than walked back to Perseus were he stood holding the high messenger god.

"Tri what was that for?" Anteros whined, dragging Eros over to wgere they had regrouped.

Eros froze when he saw Percy holding Hermes. He frowned and muttered to himself, "This wasn't supposed to happen." Over and over.

Triton shrugged in response to Anteros then slapped Percy up the back of the head too.

Percy stuck his tongue out at his brother. "Why do you do that?"

"It's how I show affection."

"Alright Toph Beifong," Percy retorted.

Triton looked confused, "What?"

"Hmm Perseus you're getting around aren't you? First you sleep with Apollo then now Hermes is planning a date. And I thought my mother got around quickly," Eros mused. He lifted a hand to ruffle Percy's hair. "The wittle god is growing up."

Hermes looked up at Percy. "Athena's last braincell you did what with Apollo?" he screeched.

"I think Athena might have damaged that braincell a while ago," mused Triton. "But seriously you slept with Apollo?"

"Yeah I did and?" Percy said shrugging.

"MY LITTLE BROTHER IS GROWING UP!" yelled Anteros. "Sooooo, give us the details."

Hermes tapped Percy on the side of the face, effectively catching his attention. "Are you a top or bottom?"

"What?" Percy said before realising what they were talking about. "WAIT WAIT NO NOT LIKE THAT. Like actually sleeping."

Percy dropped Hermes and started walking away from the laughing gods. He kept walking around aimlessly until their laughter had faded. He admired the buildings on Olympus, a faint feeling of pride for Annabeth for making the land of the gods so beautiful.

He ended up in a garden. He didn't know how but he thought it was beautiful. It was generally a mess but it worked. Large trees grew with roots above the ground, hanging over the bumpy pathway. Wild bushes overlapped one another, with bright flowers blooming all over. A cracked cupid fountain lay in the middle. Vines had completely taken over it, roses bloomed out of the eyes and mouth. Annabeth couldn't have designed this. It wasn't organised or in order. But it did work. It showed the true power of nature in this place. The raw beauty of the way it all used to be. Maybe this is what Gaea wanted, for plants to be able to run wild. Once again Percy found himself wondering if letting Gaea win would have been such a bad idea. True she was murderous, but she wasn't wrong. Humans had ruined the world, they had ruined Gaea. She had a right to be angry. She wasn't in the wrong. But going as far as murder, that was where she went wrong. The world could have healed without more death staining its surface. The more blood spilled would have flooded the seeds of growth needed for the world to heal.

Percy leaned his back against one of the trees and let the overwhelming scents fill his heightened senses.

"Its beautiful isn't it," said a feminine voice from beside him.

Percy hummed in reply, letting the sensations flood his sentences.

"I heard that you got turned into a god by Gaea herself. Must be hard adjusting to all of this."

Her voice was familiar yet strange. As if they'd met before but a long time ago.

"Can I get a reply that isn't a hum? I feel like I'm talking to Dionysus while he's holding magazine," she said slightly irritated.

"It just feels like a lot, all of it. Especially this garden," Percy replied, somehow finding the words.

The woman sighed, "Oh I can relate to that. If something has such raw power like this place you'll get sensations like that. So I'd stay away from Eros' while he's working if I were you. At least until you get used to it."

Percy opened his eyes and stared out at the garden. "How do I get used to it?"

She laughed, "How did you get used to being a demigod? You just suck it up and go at everything with an open mind."

"You're pretty wise," Percy said, deciding flattery was the best way to go so she didn't decide to smite him. "Has anyone ever told you that?"

"Don't let Athena hear you say that. She'd go in a rage worse than Hera after she found out Zeus cheated again."

Percy turned to face the goddess. He was met with the side profile of a ginger haired woman who wore a shinning circlet upon her brow. A sleek black suit that went with a silver shirt. She was in her twenties but she could easily be several thousand years old.

If Percy knew one thing about the gods, its that looks can be deceiving.

"Lady Artemis why are you dressed up like that? I thought you'd prefer hunting gear," Percy asked. His curiosity getting the better of him.

Artemis rolled her eyes. "Father insists on holding a party everytime theres a new god." She looked him up and down. "I'm assuming you didn't know about this."

"What gave it away?"

Artemis started dragging him across Olympus. "The fact that you're wearing my brothers clothes!"

Percy blushed, "How could you tell?"

"His essence is all over them. Now Aphrodite is going to help you get ready and she promised not to be creepy."

"Wait what?" Percy screeched as Artemis handed him over to the goddess of love.

"Have fun!" Artemis shouted already running away.
