I quickly cleared my throat in an attempt to ease down my burning cheek, I didn't want them to misread the situation and I just didn't want to explain what kind of relationship between Aphrodite and me. Zoe decided to move now since the star could give us some direction to walk through the mess in front of us. We quickly moved into Hephaestus's junkyard and tried our best not to touch anything or steal anything worth stealing. The latter was a high possibility since I saw an armor made from pure gold, I only stared in awe as I walked past it, I mean, how much money I can get if I sold one of those.

"Don't touch it" Zoe warned us "The god threw this thing because of something, best if we don't touch it"

My hand was already mid-way from touching the armor, I quickly cleared my throat and retracted my hand. I whistled innocently as I quickly made my way to Percy's side, and watched him look at some trinket in his hand with adoring looks in his eyes. I quickly swatted the thing in his hand, followed by his yelling names at me.

"No touching," I said innocently "Or you will get cursed by the Gods"

"There's no such thing as god cursing us because we are rummaging through their junk" Percy grumbled.

"Well..." my eyes shifted towards Bianca who looked at a hairclip in awe "Who knows? You don't want to get cursed like Midas right? Or like Aracne? Or like Medusa?"

Percy flinched when I mentioned Medusa "Yeah, yeah"

I snickered "Well, maybe instead of snake head, you will be, Kelp Head"

Percy quickly smacked me in the back of my head, and he grunted in pain as he removed his hand from my head.

"Is it me dreaming, or your head as hard as metal?" he asked.

A single sweat ran down my back "Really? Or your fist is like a jellyfish?"

Percy quickly swung his fist at my cheek, which I evaded easily.

"Just stay still and let me punch you!" he growled.

"Nah, you will ruin my pretty face," I said and mockingly stroked my cheek gently with my own hand.

Another fist and I evaded it easily.

"Gosh I really want to smack something into your face and wiped that smirk" he growled.

"You're welcome to try Jelly Fist" I smirked at him.

Thalia burst into a fit of laughter while a snicker escaped Zoe's lips, Bianca and Grover already laugh at my amazing pun or maybe a new nickname for Percy. Percy sighed heavily as he massaged his temple.

"I can believe that I made a friend with Idiots" he grumbled.

"Well, you COD do better," I said and shrugged my shoulder.

"Did you just do a fish pun?" Percy asked me in a disbelieved tone.

"You go a better pun?" I asked back and raised my eyebrow "Let Minnow if you got one"

Another fit of laughter came from Thalia and Grover, while Zoe and Bianca burst into a fit of giggles. Percy quickly made some distance from me as he grabbed a random object from the ground and threw it at me. But since his aiming is as bad as my ability to sing, it missed me completely and hit Grover instead on the poor guy's face. I only whistled in ignorance as Percy grabbed another object and threw it at me.

"Wow, Reiner you are right. Percy suck at this" Thalia said in awe "I know he never good at aiming, but I never knew he would be this BAD"

"Hey!" Percy protested "Don't talk like I'm not standing right over here!"
