If it wasn't Percy, neither Annabitch, then who could've invited me? Maybe it was just a prank after all. I sigh and crunch the paper in my hand. I throw it far away and it lands in the lake the kids canoe on mostly. I run after it then slow down, I cannot save it now. I get even more frustrated by this and almost let out a scream at the sun that's shining so bright. I concentrate on it and its brightness starts fading. I'm not going to contribute to the wedding in any way. I decide, then I turn my back to the lake. If they didn't even invite me then why should I care. I kind of lose rationality with these thoughts but I'm just too sour to care at the moment.
"A-apollo?

Percy looked at me with horror written all over his face. Everyone started shouting once again, but I could only see his eyes. Seriously, those eyes are hot. The way some of his dark black locks of hair fell in front of it and around them, creating a dark frame, huh, it made me want to claim him there and then. I shook my head and flirtatiously winked at him. His cute little face became even redder, and for a moment I couldn't hold myself back from the innocent beauty.
"SILENCE," shouted my father rather impressively then changed to a much calmer voice " so tell us, then, what was it really?"
"Yeah, and don't dare to lie to us again. We have our own lie detector." Added Ares glancing at me. " And I might beat you to death if you don't tell the truth."
"Don't even think about that." Poseidon joined again, and I was pretty certain it would have turned into a mass shouting, if Percy didn't speak up.
"Well,yeah, I wanted to go out with my friends, but wasn't really sure what to wear and so on, but then Hermes popped up in my wardrobe. Actually he fell out of my wardrobe, and well...onto me. So then he helped me choose a shirt and asked whether I'd like to go with him." He stated then sighed and continued with the story, much to Hermes' embarrassment." I said yes, because I thought he was way cooler and funnier than my actual classmates. I had so much fun with him at the club tho. And yea, we were dancing and things like that."
"What things like that?"
"Why is it so important, anyway?" The boy asked with his eyebrows furrowed.
"I just want to know that he didn't do anything bad to you." Poseidon replied, totally ignoring how sassy his son was acting.
"Well, you could've asked that first. He didn't do anything bad to me, nor anything that I didn't want to. I don't wanna talk about it anymore."
"See, I told you." Hermes announced grinning. "Now I guess we can let Percy go back and..."
"But we still don't know what really happened." I cut him off, not really happy that he was trying to get away with this." If I was punished for what happened at my celebration, then Hermes should be too."
"He's right, we still don't know what happened between the two of you. Percy, do you mind explaining things?"
"Wait, what?" Percy looked so confused. He glanced between me, Hermes and his father. "Why was Apollo punished?"
"Obviously for molesting you, my son."
"But...what?" Percy looked so bummed, I almost burst out laughing.
"OkayImighthavekissedhim." Hermes interrupted the conversation without taking a breath.
"Hey, that was supposed to be a secret!" Percy shouted after a few moments of awkward silence, but then as if the room had exploded, everyone started talking with each other, some were even screaming.
"I KNEW IT!" Dionysus screamed joyously, but our father's voice overpowered everyone's.
"SHUT UP! This isn't even important. Let the boy go and let's continue with more important topics, like who stole my favourite perfume. I can't find it and it's annoying as hell. That was Lily's favourite..."
"Who the hell is Lily?"
"Erm, no one."
"HERMES HOW COULD YOU? YOU KNEW DAMN WELL THAT MY SON CAN'T BE TOUCHED BY ANY IMMORTAL!"
"Uh..., sorry?" He looked up apologetically at our uncle, and looked much smaller than usual.
Poseidon was having none of his bullshit,and much to my pleasure he called for his Triton,which appeared immediately in his hands. I was going to enjoy watching this, what can I say. After all Hermes was the cause of my punishment too.
"Wait, don't hurt him!" Percy jumped in front of my brother, and looked at his father rather bravely, who almost crashed him to death with his trident's power.
"Percy. Get. Out. Of. The. Way. " He gritted through his teeth.
"No, this is stupid. Don't hurt him, I wanted him to kiss me."
Now that made me frown again. He wanted Hermes' kiss but not my hugs? How is that logical? I mean I like Hermes and of course we have kissed before (didn't hear it from me) and it was really good, but I was confident that Percy had a crush on ME, not him. I got so lost in thoughts, I didn't even realize that meanwhile the meeting ended and Hermes was gone along with some gods. Poseidon stood there with his son, murmuring something then smiled and hugged him. They stepped out of the hall, then Poseidon flashed away. Jackson stood there for a moment, inhaling deeply the mesmerizing scent of the blooming flowers. That was the moment I was waiting for. There was practically no one left other than me. Well my father sat there too, but he was too shocked to notice anything, so I made my move. I shrank until I was at a normal size and hurried to Perseus quietly. I halted behind him and whispered:
"There's nothing like this, right?"
He flinched at the sound and turned around to face me. He couldn't look me in the eyes, and looked away immediately.
"Yeah, it's so much different than anything down there. I bet these flowers are magical or something."
"Yes, you could say that" I chuckled at how accurate he was. "Do you wanna enjoy the scents and sight a bit longer? We could go for a walk around here."
"Just a walk?" He looked suspiciously at me. It almost hurt that he didn't trust me enough to go walking with my companion. "Well, I guess that can't hurt. It's really nice here."
I guided him down the steps to a path leading to one of my fave places on Olympus. It was a nice little park, with a statue of me in the center of a small pond. Around the lake there was a line of hyacinth and other flowers were around it. There were a few benches, every kind of trees and bushes. It was quite romantic and cozy. I was smiling widely as I led the boy there. I knew for sure that he'd love it just as much as I do. The path led us past some decent gardens - none was as pretty as mine or that park - and he was turning his head from one to the other so fast I couldn't imagine how he'd react to my park.
When we finally arrived there I stepped forward and looked around. Some nymphs and minor gods and goddesses were there so I mentally told them to leave if they don't want to get blown up. Everyone quickly got up and rushed away. I looked back at Percy who was furiously blushing, scratching the back of his neck and examining the ground.
"Hey, come. How do you like it?"
"Uhm, what?" He asked anxiously looking in my eyes finally.
"You don't like my park?"I asked kinda sadly and really disappointed. "I thought you'd like it here, and maybe that we could have a private chat about some important things."
"No it's really nice and all but erm..."he looked away blushing. "Is that you?" He pointed in the direction of my statue, and I nodded.
"But...It's naked." He pointed out, still not looking at me. "I thought that maybe after the incident in Camp Half-Blood I wouldn't be in this situation. But here I am."
"Eh..." I remembered back to what he mentioned and blushed a bit myself too. "Sorry, I guess."
