Jack POV

We had now stayed a few days at Apollo's and now Nattie was now able to breath normal air. We were going to stay at hour cabin until she was fully healed then bye bye to the immortal world for a while. "Are you ready to leave?" I asked her and she nodded, she was holding onto my arm for support while Percy held her accessories. It was in the afternoon after lunch, we teleported to our cabin and everything was ready.

I helped her sit on the couch and handed her the remote, "Thanks. I feel like a patient." She pouted as she searched for a channel to watch, "You are. Are you breathing okay?" I asked and she nodded, "Let me go get your room ready." I told her and disappeared, Percy was upstairs placing the accessories in her room. "Good luck, this room is filled with things she shopped for at Atlantis." Percy bowed and disappeared. I sighed at the shopaholicness of my sister. I began ordering everything a placing them into their places.

"Jack, where's Nattie?!" Percy called out from downstairs, "She watching TV in the living room!" I answered him, "No she is not!" Percy said, "Then call out to her!" I told him, "She won't be able to answer, she can't shout remember!" Percy said, and I rolled my eyes leaving the work I was doing. I breathed in her scent and it led outside, "What is she doing outside?" I asked and Percy shrugged, we followed the scent to the Aphrodite cabin.

We knocked, "Come in!" We heard Piper answer and we opened the door to find Nattie with her head rested on the table and Piper holding a scissor- she was cutting Nattie's hair. I was shocked because that was the first time Nattie was trusting her hair with somebody else other than mother. "Jack, Percy." Piper hugged us, "Hi." We both greeted. "Hi Jack." Other Aphrodite children greeted while hugging me and I just returned them. I read their minds as to find the reason why they were only hugging me and greeting Percy- the reason was, Percy was taken and his girlfriend was right in front of them and I was according to them 'single and ready to mingle, and then maybe in the future we could tango.' I laughed to myself because that was not going to happen.

"Why are you getting your hair cut shorter?" Percy asked, "It has spilt ends, Piper is not cutting it shorter, she is just straightening it out for me. I could have done it but I have never done it with such short hair." She answered. "Is she sorted." Will teleported into the Aphrodite cabin, "A.S.A! A.S.A!" A littler girl screamed and all the girls came with colourful water guns and spiked Will. The water guns did not contain water, it contained food colouring. Will literally looked like a rainbow, "Go on Lacy, do the honors!" All Aphrodite girls exclaimed and the youngest of the Aphrodite children came out with a plastic gun that looked like bazooka. She pulled the trigger and pink glitter sprinkled all over will.

"Oh c**p... I forgot about that." Will growled, "What does A.S.A stand for?" Nattie asked, "Apollo Spawn Alert." Piper answered. "Anyway, the reason I am here is to find out if you are okay with the whole atmosphere?" Will said as he cleaned himself up, "Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks, and I am sorry about that, you got coloured all because of me." Nattie answered, "No, it's not your fault. It's a tradition, if they come into out cabin, we do much worse than this." Will laughed, "Okay, I have other errands to run, so see y'all latest." Will said and disappeared.

The girls put their weapons away and then began gazing at me, I creased my eyebrows in question while looking at them and they shook their head blushing. They began rotating around Percy and I from distance, "Code red. We need to leave this place, being rotated by an Aphrodite child is not a good sign. They are visualising us as Barbie dolls at the moment- and if we don't want leave this place looking like plastic dolls we should leave now." Percy whispered into my ear. "I noticed." I whispered back.

"Um Nattie, are you gonna be okay if we leave you here?" I asked, "Yeah, sure." She answered and Percy and I dashed out of the cabin, "Train?" We both suggested in unison and we nodded at each. We teleported to the training centre. Over there we met our friends, "Percy, Jack!" They all exclaimed, we did that boy hand shake, "How is your sister?" Nico asked, "She is okay." I answered, "BTW, since when are you using fire and snow powers huh?" Grover asked and Percy did not answer, "Call it love." He finally answered and they all laughed.
