I've been reading... How did Percy tell Paul his secret, and what was Paul's reaction? This is probably gonna be two or three chapters long...
And time for my new catch-phrase (it's been used in one of my other stories):
It's story time! Du na na na, na na, na na! Can't touch this! Du na na na, na na, na na! Can't touch this!
Paul always wondered why Percy was kicked out of so many schools. He was well behaved in class, and exelled in Greek mythology. There are those weird moments, though, when Percy smiles or winces at certain lesons, like the Polyphemus lesson. He smiled at the fact that Odysseus called himself Nobody. Then when Odysseus prayed to Poseidon to make it home, safe and sound, he'd grimace. Once, Paul saw Percy reading a book written in Greek.
Paul made a mental note to ask Percy how he could read in Greek, let alone understand it.
In the winter, Paul, Sally, and Percy went to vacation at one of the warmer parts of the beach.
While Sally put away the clothes and began diner, Paul took Percy fishing.
"So Percy," Paul started. Percy looked up at him. "Your mom tells me you're a counsler at your camp." Percy nodded.
"Why do you go to camp every weekend, is there a problem?"
"You could say that..." Paul was confused. He didn't understand what Percy and his mother was keeping from him. They don't seem like the kind to keep secrets.
"You know, Percy, you can tell me anything." Percy looked surprised, and Paul doesn't think it's because Percy just hooked his fourty-fifth five pounder.
"I can?" he asked.
"Yes, you can. I can keep secrets too you know." Paul said with a smile.
"And another thing," Percy looked up. "How do you catch so many fish?" Percy smiled, then started laughing, and so did Paul. Percy laughed so hard, he almost fell of the dock. When he stood up, he said, "I'm... okay." in between laughs.
When the laughing died down, Percy said, "Mom and I need to tell you something, and it's important." Paul looked at Percy. He looked far older than what he is.
When they got back to the cabin, Percy and his mom were whispering, and the only part Paul heard was, "Are you sure you want to tell him?" Then Sally asked Percy and Paul to have a seat at the table.
"Paul, do you remember those myths about demigods?" Percy asked.
"Yes."
"Do you think the Greek gods would still have affairs with mortals if they still excisted?"
"Yes, I suppose. Percy, where are you going with this?"
"You'll see. What would you say if I told you the Greek gods were alive and good as ever?"
"I'd say it's pure fiction. The Greeks made the gods up to explain things they couldn't. Like spiders. The Greeks thought Arachne was the first spider because she was amazing at weaving, like spiders."
"That's just it. They are real and they do have affairs with mortals! Paul, I'm a demigod!" Paul thought this was a prank. He thought he was being punked on TV.
"Okay, where are the camras?"
"Paul!" Sally said.
"I'm being pranked, aren't I?"
"No! I really am a demigod!" Percy said. "Remember when my dad came to our apartment? He told you his name is Poseidon. He wasn't lying. He's the Poseidon! I am the only son of Poseidon at the moment!"
"I want to believe you, but it's just not possible!"
"Paul, immortal means immortal. The gods never died, and they always excisted." Sally said calmly.
"I just- I don't think it's real."
"Percy, do we still have acsess to your camp's boat?" Sally asked.
"Yeah, I'm the only one that uses it." Percy answered.
"Good. Will you get it for us?" she asked.
"Sure. Be back soon!" And he was gone like that.
About half an hour later, Percy returned with the boat.
"Ready to see just how son of Poseidon I am?" Percy said when he got in ear shot. Paul couldn't believe hos eyes. Percy was the only one on board a really old looking ship. It almost looked pirate worthy. Then Paul saw the name. The Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard's ship, was stopping at the dock.
"All aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge!" Percy yelled.
Paul and Sally got aboard.
"Percy, are the only one on this ship?" Paul asked.
"Uh, yeah. Now! Let's get sailing!"
"But it would take hours for a crew of fifty to get this ship sailing. How do you expect to get this ship sailing in less time?"
"Easy. Mizzenmast!" Paul looked at Percy as if he was crazy. Paul might as well yell "three bllind mice!", but he didn't get the chance. The ropes were flying every where, and no one was taking the sails down either, but they came done, too.
"How did you..." Paul started to ask.
"Poseidon's domain is the water. A ship is just an extention of the water. If I can control the water, I can control the ship."
"But, you can't control water, can you?" Percy just looked at Paul like he was crazy. Then a barrel that, apparently, was filled with water exploded and formed into a bust of Percy.
"Does that answer your question?" The bust of Percy asked. Paul jumped. What kind of bust talks!? Let alone a bust made out of water!
Then Percy's eyes widened.
"Oh no." He ran to the side of the ship and jumped off just as the ship sarted rocking.
"Percy! What's going on!?" Sally screamed.
Oooooh... What scared Percy and started rocking the ship? Find out next week on... Paul Says Wha...? Jk! But seriously, find out... tomorrow? Day after that? *shrugs* I dunno...
