Buffy blinked. A demigod? For serious? She'd run across powerful beings that called themselves "gods" before, but never any modest enough to claim only half that title.

Regardless. A god, even only half one, wanting to make off with her baby sister? Yeah right. Good thing Dawn had called her. Where did this boy get off? Just because some huge, horned monster had attacked the college they both attended, and Dawn did better with ancient languages than English, that didn't have to mean Dawn was some mythic Half Blood, too.

She saw what Dawn saw in him: pretty eyes, dark hair, just the right combination of awkward and aware to feel familiar. But contrariwise? Their Mom would never have....

The thought trailed off as Buffy remembered that technically, she was Dawn's mother, not Joyce. Technically. And they never had discovered where the rest of Dawn's DNA came from. They should've known that would come back to haunt them. And it would help explain Dawn's terrible luck with Tuesdays. Stupid Powers.

"Okay. But I'm coming, too."

Percy winced apologetically. "Normal humans can't cross the threshold of the camp, I'm sorry."

She smiled thinly. "Oh, I don't think that'll be a problem."

Hehe! That should be quite interesting.

=) The idea keeps bugging me, so I think I'll drabble a few more along the same thread ... Which means I need an icon. Hmm. *edits post*

This sounds fun...! (And I loved the bit about Tuesdays!) :D

[jedibuttercup]

*grin* I think I may just drabble a few more along these lines.

Seriously, if trouble in school and monster attacks are the key signs of being a half-blood....? =)

More please!

I love, love the last line. I really enjoyed this. Is there going to be a sequel?

[jedibuttercup]

I think I might just drabble a few more along these lines for the current challenge. =) Glad you liked it!

oooh! I just stumble across this from the crossover update page, and I love it! Would you, could you write more?

Having just seen the movie today, I can now read these. \o/

[jedibuttercup]

*grin* I do recommend getting your hands on the books at some point, though. The first one's really very young and it's a toss-up whether the movie's better on a stand-alone basis, but the rest of the series really improves a lot, and there's a lot of Greek mythology mixed in in interesting ways.

Thanks for the warning; I'd been tossing up whether to read the books, but if I'd read the first one without the warning, I probably would have given up on the rest of the series.
