Chapter Seven: The Date
Percy was making food. It was hard to pick what to make since he did not know what Athena and Artemis liked to eat. He guessed that Artemis usually ate what was ever around in the forest or form hunting so he guessed that she would be happy with a home cooked meal. Athena he had no idea what she would like to eat not a clue not even a guess.
His mom taught him to cook when he was younger. It was something he was good at and excelled at. The cooking was something that allowed the mother and son to bond and grow closer together. Percy was a master chef at this point in his life.
He did not know what Athena and Artemis liked so he would make something his mom always made no matter what it always impressed people. He was going to make pasta different types of pasta. He also made garlic bread and a Greek salad. (Yes I know last one lame.)
(Myra this is for you. I thought about it and it is perfect.)
Percy had been wondering something for the past couple of days. Scarlet would want to go with him wherever he went. Using the mist could help but he figured she would not want to always do that. So he wondered if it was possible to make it so she could transform into a human any time she wished. He had figured something out but he needed Scarlet to want to do it. So he explained his thoughts to Scarlet.
Scarlet thought about it and she really liked that idea. So she agreed to do it. Percy waved his hands and muttered a spell. It caused Scarlet to fall into a deep sleep. She would wake up in a one to three days and she would be able to transform then at least that is what Percy hoped for. Percy gently picked up his daughter and carried her to his room. He put her down on the bed and covered her. He then left the room to finish the preparations for his date. He considered it a date which is why he called it a date.
He hears a knock on the door and opens it up and his breath is taken away. Artemis and Athena were dressed the same each was wearing a dress that fit her nicely. Artemis had a brown one. It was like a tree in color some spots of green were on it and various places on the dress. Artemis was also older looking she was not in her maiden form she looked to be in her 20ties the same as Athena. Athena her dress was blue. Both had some eye shadow highlighting their eyes. Athena's were gray and Artemis's were silver. Percy had one thought and that was beautiful.
Artemis and Athena were looking at him. He was wearing clothes that highlighted all the muscles he had gained form fighting monsters and the intense training he went through. Over all the two had one thought and that was handsome very handsome.
Percy invited them in and Artemis asked where Scarlet was for she really liked the wolf. Wolves were her allies during her hunts before she formed the hunters wolves were her greatest friends. Percy told them what had occurred and Athena was impressed with the planning behind it. All three of them started to wonder what Scarlet would look like when she was transformed as a human.
Percy told Athena what had happened with Annabeth. Athena wanted to speak to her daughter the speaking would most likely be violent in nature very violent. Percy however pointed out that Annabeth already knew what she did and nothing would change it. Scarlet's mother would still be dead. He said he would let Scarlet deal with Annabeth.
He also explained Scarlet's view of how she was not upset about her mother being killed it was the fact that her mother's body was not even used. Scarlet form a young age accepted that death was a part of life you could not change it.
Percy served the dinner he had made. Artemis and Athena were in awe at the amount of food Percy had. The table was a special one. With a few taps it could grow and expand to hold as many people as needed. Right now it was small enough for three people to eat at in an intimate setting. Artemis and Athena were on either side of Percy.
Conversation was Percy asking Artemis and Athena more about themselves. In turn Artemis and Athena asked more about him. They thought they knew a lot about him however as they had learned that last few days he was very unpredictable and they really knew little about him.
So back and forth the three talked and traded stories. Some of them were funny like the time Percy turned his hair pink. He had some hair dye but he thought it was shampoo. He learned that his mom was a trickster when she wanted to be. Some stories were sad like when Athena had to watch her children die or when Artemis watched one of her hunters die and neither could do a thing about it.
Some stories were heartwarming like the first time Percy made the blue pancakes all on his own. It was for mother's day and he did not light the house on fire. After about three hours they went to the living room. It had a couch that could be transformed if it was needed it that same way with the table in the dinning room.
There was also a TV which could be turned to any station on earth even HBO. The room itself was large and had white walls with lightning bolts and clouds and other sky themed pictures like birds and planes. It had no order what so ever.
Percy did not like it at all so he was going to change it. He was going to change it soon. First he had to deal with his throne and before that his armor and weapons. He also had no idea what he wanted to do with the wall. So his first plan was the paint over it.
Sitting on the couch were Artemis and Athena. Percy was standing and he was starting to get nervous. Now Athena and Artemis that last few years had seen a strong Percy one that was not afraid of anything with the expectation of letting done the ones that were important to him. So for them to see Percy this nervous it made them a little nervous.
"I have been thinking about what was said last night." He started his voice was low but as each word was spoken it got louder and more confident. He was nervous but when he started to talk he knew that he did not need to be nervous at all.
"I know that I have done stupid things in my life so many stupid things that many books can be written about them." He said and it caused all three to laugh softly. (Sorry had to put that in)
"However if I were to reject you then I would be doing without a doubt the stupidest thing I or anyone has ever done." He said which caused a small smile to appear on the face of the Goddess of Wisdom and the Goddess of the Moon. They were starting to feel a little bit of hope but they would wait and not jump yet.
"The truth is I like both of you. I may even love you but I do not know. I know nothing about love and romance. So what I am saying and hoping for is a chance to see if anything can come of a relationship. I do not like the idea of two wives and I know I can as the King but we can worry about that should it come down to it." He said.
He then gently kissed Artemis. Artemis felt great joy and a great spark. She gladly kissed him back. It was her first kiss in thousands of years. In her mind it was even better than any kiss that Orion gave her. She did not want the kiss to stop. Sadly after a few minutes it had to stop.
After Percy kissed Artemis he kissed Athena. Athena also felt a great spark and great joy. Unlike her sister this was her first kiss. In a small apart of her mind she wondered why she waited this long to get her first kiss. However that was overshadowed by the joy and pleasures the kiss was giving her.
Both were happy not just by the kiss but by his words. They knew that he was still against the two wife idea. However they also knew that given time they could get him warmed up to the idea and that was good enough for them. Since they were immortal that had all the time they needed to get him use to and liking the idea of two wives.
For now they would be happy. They put their heads on his shoulders. Both fell asleep with a huge smile on their faces. Percy liked this feeling he knew he could get use to it. He did not like the idea of having two wives it just seemed wrong having two girlfriends also seemed wrong.
He did not know what to do. He did not want to end up like his father and the other gods. He wanted to remain faithful. He figured he would cross that bridge when the time came. If he found out he did love both Artemis and Athena then he would marry them both. If not then he would cross that bridge when the time came. For now he was going enjoy holding both his girlfriends as they rested on him.
