Penelope Lewis is the daughter of Poseidon she is my oc and she originally came to camp with Annabeth, Thalia, Luke and Grover. She has been a year round camper for several years until after the first great prophecy happened two years ago.
She has been home for eight months with her mother Cassandra and Stepfather Cal, along with their children Graciela, and Grayson who are Cal's children from his first marriage. All five family members love to surf in their free time. All three kids are on the swim team at their school and Penelope is captain.
"Penelope!" A group of people calls to her while she puts away her books. "Hi everyone," Penelope smiles and waves. "I love your shoes, girl where did you get them?" A girl with dark hair asks. "Oh um, just the Nike store I think," Penelope replies awkwardly. "Penelope you look really good in that top," A guy named Tyler states. "Thanks, Tyler," Penelope says as she throws on a hoodie as Tyler walks away. "The hottest guy in school just complemented you, and you blow him off," Graciela chuckles walking over. "My boyfriend is hotter than him," Penelope replies. "Ah yes the boyfriend who lives in New York, with Tristan Mclean," Greyson says. "He is real," Penelope says as they walk outside and get into Cal's car. Penelope sits in the front seat while the twins sit in the back. "Hey, how was school?" Cal asks. "It was fine," Penelope shrugs. "Just fine, Nellie?" Cal asks. "Mhm, I passed all my classes, and my finals," Penelope says. "Are you excited to spend the summer in Long island?" Greyson asks. "Yeah, my friend Will and his Boyfriend Nico, and Nico's sister Hazel, and her boyfriend Frank, are driving up here from Houston then we're all going up to New York from here," Penelope explains. "Why would they drive from Houston, to Palo Alto, to go to New York?" Cal asks. "Because Nico and Hazel are afraid of flying like I am and they offered to pick me up," Penelope says as Cal parks and everyone gets out of the car. "Anyways, I have to pack, before we go surfing tonight," Penelope mumbles as she rushes in the house and up the stairs and into her bedroom before closing the door. Penelope finds her phone in an airvent. And she immediately calls Leo. "Hey, Mami, how are you?" Leo asks. "I'm good, how are you?" Penelops replies. "I'm loving life, Piper taught us how to surf," Leo says. "I bet I'm better at it than you," Penelope smiles. "I doubt it," Leo teases. "How's your family?" Leo asks. "We're okay," Penelope says. "You okay?" Leo asks. "Yeah, it just doesn't feel like home here, ya know, I've been at Camp for so long I hardly know how to interact with normal kids, as well as my siblings," Penelope explains. "I'm sorry, amour," Leo says. "It's not your fault," Penelope says. "When are you going to camp?" Leo asks. "Will and the others should be here tomorrow afternoon, and it'll take about two days to get to long Island, and probably about another day or so to get to Camp," Penelope explains. "See that's why I like living in New York, it only takes a few hours to get us there, We're leaving tonight so I'll call you again before I turn my phone off," Leo says. "Yeah, please do," Penelope says. "I have to finish packing amour, I'll talk to you later," Leo says. "Okay," Penelope says. "I love you, mami," Leo says softly. "I love you too, baby," Penelope says as Leo hangs up the phone.
Penelope finishes packing and eats dinner with her family and heads back up to her room. "Nell, can I come in?" Graciela asks knocking on the door. "Yeah, of course," Penelope replies. "I'm going to miss you when you leave," Graciela mumbles. "Awe, I'll miss you too honey," Penelope says as she gets up and hugs Graciela. "You'll write to me, won't you?" Graciela asks. "Of course, I will, I'll write to you everyday, if you want," Penelope says as Graciela leaves. Suddenly Penelope hears her phone ring so she grabs it from the Airvent and answers it. "Hello," Penelope says. "Hey, Mami," Leo replies. "Oh hey," Penelope hums laying back down on her bed. "Are you leaving soon?" Penelope asks. "Yeah, I have to go soon, I just didn't want to worry you, if you couldn't reach me," Leo says. "Mhm, I love you, be safe, don't die please," Penelope chuckles. "I love you too, I'll be safe, and I won't die again," Leo replies. "You be safe too, alright," Leo adds. "I will, send my love to Jace and Piper," Penelope replies. "I love you," Penelope says. "I love you too," Leo says as he hangs up the phone.
The next day, Penelope grabs her suitcase and sits in the large SUV that Will Solace was driving and Penelope tosses her stuff in the trunk and sits next to Hazel. "Hey, cutie, how are you?" Hazel asks kissing her cheek. "I'm good, how are you?" Penelope says. "I am so glad that we get to do this," Hazel smiles. "Do what Hazel?" Will asks. "Drive across America with a few of my favorite people," Hazel says. "Everything has changed so much since I was younger as well," Hazel adds. "Well unfortunately we won't be able to stop much since we don't want to attract to much attention," Will says. "Please tell me you brought at least one weapon," Frank says. "Of course I did, it's not my first day as a demi," Penelope chuckles. "Oh, how's Leo, Piper, and Jason?" Frank asks. "They're good, they left last night, so their phones are off," Penelope mumbles. "You seem upset," Nico notices. "It's nothing," Penelope says as she shakes her head. "What's wrong, Nell?" Frank asks. "You know you can trust us," Hazel adds. "Leo loves his new school, he everyday talks about how he fits in, how he loves his new friends and I'm just having a hard time fitting in, because I never really interacted with anyone my age until like last year," Penelope explains. "I mean until they died my best friends were Silena and Charles, who are what four years older than me," Penelope adds. "Nell, you're never going to be like those other kids, you're never going to be able to socialize like the other kids," Will says. "Gee thanks Will, you're about as helpful as Calypso," Penelope remarks. "I was a year round camper too, I get it Penelope, you'll just have to learn how," Will says.
Several hours later almost everyone falls asleep. "Hey Will, does living with your mom ever feel surreal? Like you don't belong there even if it's your home?" Penelope whispers. "Houston is not my home, don't get me wrong, I love my ma, but home can be wherever you make it, not just where your biological family is," Will says. "Thanks Will," Penelope says before falling asleep.
The next morning they stop and get some breakfast. "I'm tired of the front, do one of you want it?" Nico asks. "I'll take it," Frank says. "We only have like twelve more hours before we get there, so we'll probably stop again for lunch and likely breakfast tomorrow," Will says. "Hello, would you kids like a picture?" A woman asks. "No thanks," Will says. "Are you sure?" She asks. "Yeah, were okay," Will repeats. Suddenly the woman starts humming. "Okay, that is weird, we're gonna go lady," Penelope says as the group follows her to the car. "So, what was that?" Will asks. "A siren, I'm assuming," Penelope says. "But we're nowhere near an ocean," Frank replies. "Yeah, it's weird, but the can live in lakes, especially if they sense heroes," Penelope explains.
After a few more hours Hazel suddenly perks up. "Oh Piper suggested we play this game, we already played on the way to get you, so it's your turn," Hazel smiles. "Okay, what's this game?" Penelope asks. "So, you name everything you love about your partner, and then you name everything you're not so fond of about him," Frank explains. "Okay, how much detail do I need to go into?" Penelope asks. "As much or as little as you want, the interesting part is seeing who here is most in like or love with their partner," Hazel smiles. "Alright, whose winning so far?" Penelope asks. "Well, Frank and Will are tied for first and Hazel is in second, and I'm third," Nico explains. "Ah, it's alright you're losing I know you love me Sunshine," Will teases. "Shut up," Nico says rolling his eyes. "Okay, start talking about Leo," Hazel says. "I mean the first thing that comes to mind is how considerate he is, that is easily his best quality, I mean we only had our first real conversation because he was worried I'd catch a cold sitting out in the rain, he went back to Ogigya to get Calypso off her island because he said he would," Penelope chuckles. "I mean don't get me wrong I'm mad at him for not saying anything after he faked his death but he keeps his promises, to everyone because it's important to him," Penelope says. "Leo is a hopeless romantic, he plans the sweetest dates for us, he gave me my blue pocket knife in a ring box on one knee, like a total dork, a really cute dork, he can be a bit clumsy but it's adorable because he has this stupid sideways grin he does when he does something dumb," Penelope smiles.
------------------------------------------------------Piper, Jason, and Leo are having a sleepover in Jason's cabin. Piper gets snacks with Jason while Leo makes smores. "Leo, do you want to play a game?" Piper asks as they sit down and eat. "Sure," Leo says. "Okay, so, you're going to just talk about all of the things you like about Penny, until you run out of things to talk about," Piper says. "Okay, not that I won't but what's the point?" Leo replies. "Well, normally you play it with other people and see who has the most nice things and mean things to say, but there's only three of us," Jason says. "My favorite thing about her is her laugh, I could hear it forever, the first time I heard her laugh I knew that I wanted to make her laugh and smile forever," Leo starts. "She is very touchy, I used to not like people touching me, but from her, it's okay, it's not just okay, I love it, I don't think I would be able to live without her hugs, or when she knows I've been working too much she'll rub my back, or occasionally give me a massage," Leo says.
"He's incredibly funny, mostly he did make fun of me for like a solid week for threatening Calypso, but she deserved it," Penelope says.
"She is the most understanding person I know, she doesn't care what I do, unless it has to do with Calypso, but that's fair," Leo says.
"And he is so smart, he puts together these machines that I could never be able to figure out, he only put a voice override on Festus because I can't figure out his remote," Penelope says.
"She has these gorgeous blue eyes, I could look in them forever, I look at them and I just know, as long as I'm with her I'm okay," Leo smiles.
"And his eyes, they are the prettiest brown eyes, if you look closely you can see a little bit of red in them," Penelope says.
Penelope smiles to herself for a moment as the others in the car awe around her. "You two are so sweet," Hazel says. "Do I win?" Penelope asks. "I miss him, a lot," Penelope adds. "We can tell," Nico teases. "Oh hush," Penelope replies.
"I need sleep so we're going to pull over for a few hours," Will says pulling into a hotel. "Oh! Do we get to sleep in the hotel?" Hazel asks. "Yeah, I think we have enough, I think we'll oh be able to afford two rooms though, so I guess me, Neeks and Frank will have one and the girls can have the other," Will suggests. "Yay! We can have a sleepover!" Hazel squeals and hugs Penelope. "Yay, sleepover!" Penelope smiles. "Alright come on," Will says. Hazel ends up holding Penelope's hand all the way up to their room on the tenth floor. While the boys were on the third floor. "This is going to be so fun!" Hazel says as the sit on the bed. "What do girls in this generation do at sleepovers?" Hazel asks. "Um, we could have a pillow fight," Penelope suggests. "Okay! How do we do it?" Hazel asks. "We hit each other with a pillow, until one of us gives up," Penelope explains. "Too violent, what else?" Hazel asks. "We could braid each other's hair," Penelope says. "Can! We build forts out of blankets!" Hazel squeals. "Sounds fun," Penelope says.
The girls build a large fort from the entire hotel room and the bathroom. And fall asleep. The next morning, Will, Frank and Nico knock on the girls' door. "Nell, Hazel, can we come in? It's time to go," Will says. "I don't hear them, I'm using the key," Nico says. Nico opens the door with the key. "What the hell," Nico mumbles seeing the fort. "Girls are you in here?" Frank asks. "They're probably still asleep," Will says crawling into the fort being followed by Frank and Nico. The guys laugh seeing the girls passed out asleep. "Hazel, Penelope, get up!" Will laughs. "Hm what?" Penelope mumbles. "It's time to go already?" Hazel asks sitting up. "Yeah, we need to go," Frank says. "Nell it's time to go," Nico says. "Okay, fine I'm up," Penelope mumbles.
They get back in the car and continue driving. They finally get to long Island and start walking up to halfblood hill. "I'm so glad to be here! I haven't been here in forever," Hazel smiles. "It's been like three months," Nico says. "Still, it's been awhile," Hazel smiles as the pass Thalias former tree and into the barrier of camp. Penelope goes into her Cabin and quickly puts away her clothes and immediately runs into Cabin 9. "Hey, Penelope," Nyssa says. "Hey, Nyssa, is Leo around?" Penelope asks. "Yeah, he's been here for a few days, but he's working on a very important new project, and he really needs to focus," Nyssa explains. "Okay, if he gets a minute, tell him I'm here," Penelope says. "Sure," Nyssa nods as Penelope walks out. "Hey, Nell, how are you?" Piper asks. "I'm good, other than The fact that I've been in a car for the last two days," Penelope chuckles. "Have you seen Leo since you've been here?" Piper asks. "No, Nyssa said he's working on a new project, and he can't be distracted," Penelope explains. "Ah, that's rough, but he's got to come out at some point," Piper says. "Yeah I guess," Penelope shrugs.
Penelope still hasn't seen Leo by dinner time. So, she goes into the forge and sees Leo working on something. "Surprise!" Penelope squeals as she hugs Leo from behind. "Hey, amour, Nyssa told me you were here," Leo says as he turns around and kisses Penelope's lips. "What're you doing here?" Leo asks. "I haven't seen you all day," Penelope says. "And I know that you've been working all day, but I wanted to see you," Penelope says. "Mhm, I'm sorry amour, but I really need to finish my project, I'm so close to being done," Leo says. "Oh um okay," Penelope mumbles. "I'll see you later," Penelope adds as she walks away. "Yeah, okay, bye," Leo says as he continues Working. Penelope goes into her Cabin as she feels nauseas. She sits in front into the toilet in her bathroom while panting and hyperventilating and crying.
A few minutes later Nyssa walks into the forge. "Hey, was Nell in here?" Nyssa asks. "Yeah, I asked her to leave because I really want to finish her gift for her," Leo says. "You asked her to leave?" Nyssa asks. "Yeah, she understood," Leo says. "Did she understand or did she leave?" Nyssa asks. "What's the difference?" Leo asks. "You should go check on her," Nyssa suggests. Leo walks to cabin three and knocks on the door. "Amour, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings," Leo says. "Nell?" Leo adds. Leo slowly walks into the cabin. Leo hears gagging and crying from the bathroom. "Penelope, is that you? Can I come in?" Leo asks. "L-leo?" Penelope sobs as be comes in. "What's wrong?" Leo asks as Penelope leans over the toilet and gags. Leo quickly pulls her hair back. "You don't care about me. All you care about is your stupid project," Penelope sobs. "Of course I care about you, mami," Leo says as he gently pulls Penelope onto his lap. "My stupid project is a gift for you, I'm not great with people, I didn't mean for it to sound like I didn't want you around," Leo says as Penelope gags again. "So, I'm d-dying for no reason?" Penelope gags. "You're not dying, you're having a panic attack, amour," Leo coos. "No no no, I'm dying, Leo," Penelope sobs. "No you're not, mami, you're having a panic attack," Leo says pulling her away from the toilet and leaning against his chest. "Deep breaths, match my breathing, amour," Leo says as he takes deep breath. Penelope starts breathing slowly. "There you go, nice and slow," Leo says. "I could've said nice and deep but I didn't want you to think we're doing something else," Leo chuckles as Penelope lets out a small laugh. "There, isn't that better," Leo says as Penelope starts calming down. "Do you wanna go lay on your bed?" Leo asks. "Yeah," Penelope says. Leo picks Her up bridal style and carries her to the bed. "I could've walked," Penelope mumbles. "I know," Leo says as they lay down and Penelope lays her head on his chest. "I'm sorry, that I made you feel bad," Leo says. "No, no, I'm sorry, I made you feel bad, and you ruined my surprise, all because I felt bad," Penelope says. "It's not your fault, I should have spent time with you when I knew you got here, but I did miss you a lot though," Leo says. "I missed you too," Penelope says. "It's not completely done yet, but do you want to see your surprise?" Leo asks. "I do, actually," Penelope says.
Leo and Penelope walk into the Hephaestus Cabin. "I'm going to cover your eyes as we walk alright," Leo smiles. "Okay, sure," Penelope says. Leo takes her into the underground tunnels and after walking for what seems like a long time Leo takes her into a room. The room had large lettering which read "My Family" with a ton of pictures all around the walls. "Okay, you can look now," Leo smiles uncovering Penelope's eyes. Penelope gasps and looks at each of the pictures. "Leo, you did all of this for me?" Penelope asks. "Of course I did, the last thing that I was going to finish was labeling the pictures by their cabin because there each organized by Godly Parent," Leo explains. "I think it's perfect, actually, I have a few pictures for you to hang up for me, if you don't mind," Penelope smiles. "Yeah absolutely," Leo says. Penelope takes out her wallet from her pocket and hands Leo several pictures. "Wow, these are pretty old, they are turning yellow practically," Leo hums. "Can I look at them?" Leo asks. "Mhm," She nods watching Leo look through the pictures. "Aw who is this stud living in your wallet?" Leo asks showing her a singular picture. "That is Charles Beckendorf, but there is a picture of you in there," Penelope smiles. "Ah yes the man that started the Cabin nine curse," Leo smiles. "Who is this?" Leo asks holding up a picture of two girls both carrying bows and had beautiful blue feathers into their hair. "That's Bianca Di Angelo, and Zoe Nightshade, they were both Hunters," Penelope says. "Is this you?" Leo asks holding up a picture of a little girl getting her hair braided by Grover and Annabeth. "Yeah, it is, and Grover and Annabeth," Penelope explains. "This is Luke right?" Leo asks. "Mhm, its insane how much he looks like Jason," Penelope says. "I have an idea, can we rearrange some of the pictures?" Penelope adds.
Several hours later the wall had even more pictures and t had taken up the entirety of two walls. The wall on the right from the door had a beautiful lettering that read "My Family," with pictures of almost everyone dead or alive who attended camp with Penelope for any length of time. While the wall parallel from the door had lettering that read "My Home," This wall had pictures of Will, Thalia, Annabeth, Percy, Conner and Travis Stoll, Grover, Graciela, Greyson, her mother, Cal, Poseidon, Luke, Silena, Drew, Bianca, Zoe, Piper, Jason, Nico, Reyna, Frank, Hazel, Charles, Ethan Nakamura and in the center of it all a picture of Leo and Penelope hugging, and of course Festus is in the background.
Leo and Penelope were lying underneath the stars in the strawberry fields. "I love you Leonidas Sammy Valdez," Penelope hums as she looks at the stars. "I love you Penelope Arion Lewis," Leo replies. "Isn't that the name of the Horse?" Leo asks. "Oh just shut up," Penelope smiles pulling Leo by the shirt to kiss his lips.
