Sea sisters
Shark Pup: Hey do you got a second?
Shark Mother: If someone did something stupid tell them I'm not in the mood. If Drew is being a dick over socials, give me 2 minutes.
Shark Pup: Percy no
Shark Pup: She has been good for some time now
Shark Mother: Piper.
Shark Mother: My favorite sea pup.
Shark Mother: That doesn't stop me from wanting to punch her each time she opens her mouth~
Shark Pup: Mom no.
Shark Mother: Mom yes.
Shark Pup: 😑
Shark Mother: But seriously, I have all the time in the world Pip. Are you okay?
Shark Pup: I'm fine.
Shark Mother: Well you and your dad moved yeah? Are you sure you are fine?
Shark Pup: Okay yeah I hate the move but it might be better all things considered.
Shark Mother: Oh?
Shark Pup: Yeah what I actually wanted to talk to you about...
Shark Pup: So there's this girl
Shark Mother: Mhm?
Shark Pup: She is so cute and kind and all matters of cool. I really want to ask her out but I am kinda
Shark Mother: nervous?
Shark Pup: scared-
Shark Mother: Is this girl mortal?
Shark Pup: yeah...
Shark Mother: Ah
Shark Pup: I know we have to be careful with mortals. Like no one I know is even dating one. It's either mortals with mortals or Demigods with other Demigods or the hunters. Hell even RED is a single lady.
Shark Pup: This is so dumb
Shark Pup: Mom would have made fun of me.
Shark Mother: Piper
Shark Pup: Yeah
Shark Mother: Shut up
Shark Pup: Oh
Shark Mother: You are overthinking this.
Shark Mother: Firstly your mom would probably be more proud that you found someone to like in the first place. Take it from someone who actually had to talk to her.
Shark Mother: She was so convinced I would be a hunter and swear off love.
Shark Pup: You?
Shark Pup: Seriously??
Shark Mother: Trust me, I didn't get it either.
Shark Mother: You aren't dumb for thinking ahead either. Sometimes a good amount of worry does you good in a relationship.
Shark Mother: Yes be careful with mortals but don't shun them. They brought us into this world hun, they aren't completely fragile. You just need to take it one step at a time.
Shark Pup: Are you sure you aren't a Aphrodite legacy?
Shark Mother: I'm not, my mama just raised me right
Shark Pup: queen shark 💕
Shark Mother: queen shark 💕
Shark Pup: You got better with your phone btw
Shark Mother: Much to my dismay, Annabeth had me learn because of school.
Shark Pup: I'm surprised you didn't go to highschool school with her.
Shark Mother: Piper, I am an ex fugitive with more scars on my face and arm than any sane human. Abnormally tall and muscular too. Plus I get mistaken for a man constantly. Could you really imagine me in a preppy school girl uniform?
Shark Pup: ....
Shark Pup: I think they would actually call the cops on you
Shark Mother: They did
Shark Pup: HUH
Shark Mother: I was dropping off Annabeth, a girl saw me. Recognized me, told the teacher and called the cops.
Shark Pup: WHEN WAS THIS???
Shark Mother: Last week
Shark Mother: while Leo was crafting his weird explosive device
Shark Pup: you called that a mood...
Shark Mother: I never wanted to blow up a building on purpose more in my life
Shark Pup: you specifically had to say "on purpose"
Shark Mother: My record is proof enough
Shark Pup: Perse no
Shark Mother: I regret nothing.
Shark Pup: you know
Shark Pup: Sometimes I just forget that we aren't actually siblings
Shark Mother: what brought this on?
Shark Pup: just, I wish we were. I don't care about which parent, just that we are.
Shark Pup: I know at first I wasn't the greatest
Shark Pup: I thought you were a rough, edgy bad boy who was actually a terrible person
Shark Mother: Ouch
Shark Pup: HEY
Shark Pup: I'm not done
Shark Mother: My poor ego
Shark Pup: anyway
Shark Pup: now it's like you are actually the older sister I wish I had. The person I could come find and you would actually help me.
Shark Mother: ...
Shark Pup: Was that a bit much?
Shark Mother: No no
Shark Mother: It's just
Shark Mother: The way you described me was definitely someone you could have had.
Shark Mother: I'm sure your siblings told you of Silena
Shark Pup: Yeah..
Shark Pup: She wasn't just the pretty girl, she was a fighter.
Shark Pup: My inspiration, just to not be the stereotype
Shark Mother: And she would have been proud of you for doing so. As passionate as she was, Silena followed both love and war.
Shark Pup: Someone said I was like her once
Shark Mother: Clar?
Shark Pup: Yeah.
Shark Mother: She would know. Watching from the outs, Clar, Silena and Charles were our modern Aphrodite, Hephaestus and Ares. None of the "cheating" crap the mortals come up with but the poly love they actually were.
Shark Pup: Did she ever move on?
Shark Mother: She tries, Chris is patience with her. But some days she needs a spar, some days it's dummies other days it's me.
Shark Pup: And suddenly my one big quest doesn't feel all that big
Shark Mother: A 70 something year old prophecy was long and brewing. Our quest happened in a span of a year.
Shark Mother: I felt like I aged a decade
Shark Pup: to be fair you looked so different in the photos Annabeth showed me
Shark Mother: My hair was short then
Shark Pup: I'm glad you didn't cut it now but that's not what I meant
Shark Mother: yeah yeah I look young
Shark Pup: you looked happy
Shark Mother: what photo did she show you
Shark Pup: 12 year old you
Shark Mother: god damnit
Shark Mother: you saw pre disfigured Percy.
Shark Pup: You didn't get that scar on your face until much later though
Shark Mother: Yeah but it's still shit seeing mini me then looking in the mirror and being like wow you are one ugly motherfucker
Shark Pup: Percy you are not ugly
Shark Mother: Say that to the kids at camp that run from me
Shark Pup: YOU ARE 6'2 AND INTIMIDATING
Shark Mother: because of an ugly scar
Shark Pup: new campers thought you were a god
Shark Mother: i turned that shit down
Shark Pup: NO CASUAL CAMPER CAN JUST SAY THAT
Shark Pup: Plus you are pretty, you have been classified as everyone's type one way or another
Shark Mother: Do I even want to know?
Shark Pup: Maybe not
Shark Mother: Moving on then
Shark Pup: Could you be my sister if I asked
Shark Mother: I thought I already was?
Shark Pup: not like chat names, like irl, if we were to walk around and stuff..
Shark Mother: I already do
Shark Pup: Wait what
Shark Mother: I'm confused on how you are confused
Shark Pup: ☹️ I thought you were kidding
Shark Mother: You thought that, me, Persephone Jackson, daughter of Poseidon, the one who claimed all other big three kids as her cousins was joking?
Shark Mother: If I say we are family we are family
Shark Pup: You don't understand how hard i am sobbing rn
Shark Mother: I have a sense that I do. And if your dad didn't step up Mama would have surely adopted you.
Shark Pup: sksksksks
Shark Pup: Do you think we can go do something soon?
Shark Mother: Just us?
Shark Pup: Mhm!
Shark Mother: Since it is still nice out, do you still want those surfing lessons?
Shark Pup: YES PLEASE
Shark Mother: Than it's a plan. I'll let you know when I am free and I'll come grab you.
Shark Pup: 💕
Shark Mother: 💕
Shark Mother: Plans aside this girl. Tell me about her?
Shark Pup: Ugh where to even start
Shark Pup: She isn't judgey, hell she didn't even bat an eye when I told her I was only half native. It was pretty insane because you know
Shark Mother: Yeah
Shark Mother: Those are good first notes. If she can't even respect your starts she won't respect your ends.
Shark Pup: Local wisdom coming in
Shark Mother: Oh hush
Shark Pup: 🥳
Shark Mother: Keep going
Shark Pup: So I did recently learn she likes girls, I don't know if it's just gay or bi but she is definitely sapphic so I win!
Shark Mother: Ya got to start somewhere
Shark Pup: I was thinking about asking her out but I wanna wait
Shark Pup: Not like Leo wait but just get to know each other a little more
Shark Mother: 😭 Leo shade hello
Shark Pup: FULLY DESERVED?! He didn't tell me he is crushing on Jay
Shark Mother: He probably didn't want to make it awkward between the two of you since he is your ex
Shark Pup: :( I hate that you are probably right
Shark Mother: I'm not that experienced in all relationships but I know if I was in his position I would be nervous too.
Shark Mother: Which granted I will probably end up talking to him soon
Shark Pup: Because he is avoiding the subject?
Shark Mother: Something you don't need to worry about
Shark Pup: Boo
Shark Mother: Your plans for this girl, just breathe and take it slow okay?
Shark Pup: I will try
Shark Pup: If and this is a very big if
Shark Pup: if we do end up dating and I want to tell her about the demigod stuff can I come to you?
Shark Mother: Of course
Shark Pup: Thank duck because if i went to Leo or Jason they will be all weird
Shark Mother: I see Leo set her on fire by accident
Shark Pup: PLEASE NO
Shark Mother: I jest, the kid has gotten better with his control
Shark Pup: That would be because of you
Shark Mother: Having elemental abilities are not easy, I can only teach as much as I know because we are not the same
Shark Pup: But Leo seems so much more happy being able to just go around without worrying about burning something
Shark Pup: You did that
Shark Mother: He is a great student
Shark Mother: Unlike a few other Demigods I know
Shark Pup: Hey?!
Shark Mother: Not you, Annabeth Cousin on the other hand
Shark Mother: Piece a work
Shark Pup: Who is he anyway? You both mentioned him a couple of times
Shark Mother: A boy with no talent for diving
Shark Pup: That's rough, he didn't die did he?
Shark Mother: Yes but that was way before I met him so not exactly my fault or problem
Shark Pup: Wait what.
Shark Mother: We can worry about the family tree that is the chase family later
Shark Pup: 😃
Shark Pup: Should I be worried?
Shark Mother: Absolutely not, that one has his own issues that are handled
Shark Mother: Though I feel like introducing them to our blend of weirdness would probably destroy the world.
Shark Mother: Well them and the Kanes
Shark Pup: Now who and huh
Shark Mother: British people in Brooklyn
Shark Mother: Very sweet when they want to be
Shark Pup: 🤨 Do you just know everyone?
Shark Mother: I haven't met a single angel or demon so I don't believe so
Shark Pup: Percy don't be casual about that, you might predict something
Shark Mother: Espooky Percy Predictions
Shark Pup: I'm going to bed ✌️😭
Shark Mother: Boo
Shark Mother: Get good rest tonight Little Pearl 💙
Shark Pup: 🥺 Night Perse 🩷
