This is my first PJO story. I usually write stories for the anime category. (I'm an anime freak XD) Please tell me how you like it.
NOTE! I won't be able to update frequently because I have school and a life, so sorry.

Prologue
Hey everyone! I am absolutely happy and excited with my life right now. My life is perfect and there is nothing else I want. People, please sense the sarcasm! I'm miserable. Sure, I have 'The Life', the one people want to have, the famous life, but what I really want is somebody to share my life with. Paparazzi have been looking for her too, pretty funny if you ask me.
They asked me once, "Percy Jackson, who do you want to spend the rest of your life with?" I told them, "I've been looking for her for the past five years. " They just laughed at that and said, "The Percy Jackson, no girlfriend? As if!"
I met her when I was 12 but we lost contact when I turned 18. I'm 23 now and I'm still looking for her. Yes, all you fans can scream or something. I am looking for Annabeth Chase, the best daughter of Athena. You must all think I want a death wish, right? Well, yeah I guess looking for Annabeth and defying her mother makes me think I want a death wish.
Now, you're all wondering how I got famous, right? Well, long story short, I got discovered! I'm joking, here's the real story…
I was 19 then, I was walking around the Central Park one day when a hellhound attacked. I took out Riptide and started fighting. I don't know what the Mist was doing that day because for some unknown reason, the people saw the hellhound as, you know, a hellhound. They screamed and all that. It just so happens that a member of the Hollywood Board of Directors was taking an afternoon stroll and happened to see me with a bronze sword taking on an elephant-sized hellhound.
After I had reduced the hound to dust, he approached me cautiously. "What is your name young man?" he asked. "Percy Jackson." I answered bluntly. "Well my friend, how would you like to star in a movie?"
And that is how it happened. Weird, but true. Oh, and I swear the Fates were involved in this because they can control the stupid Mist. Or at least one of the gods. Or Thalia who wanted to do something for fun but that's beside the point. That is just the story of my life for the past 4 years.
The other day, I saw friends I haven't seen in 7 years, 2 years before I lost contact with her. I saw Clarisse and Chris the other day.
I was walking down a random road because I was bored. I was pretty sure paparazzi would pop up sometime soon so I enjoyed my freedom. I was looking at random shops. I was not window shopping BTW.I was just walking and walking when I heard my name being called. I thought it was just another fan but then I realized that person used my real name.
She called again, "PERSEUS JACKSON!" I turned abruptly. There, I saw Clarisse La Rue. The Clarisse La Rue who was my enemy the first day of camp. She looked like a model now but of course, she still had that deadly aura around her.
"Clarisse ? Clarisse La Rue?! Is that you?!"
"Who do you expect it to be Seaweed Brain?!"
"I haven't seen you in 7 years!"
"Yeah, yeah. By the way, I'm Clarisse Rodriguez now."
"You got married to Chris?!" I wasn't that surprised really. It was expected.
"Yeah, here he comes now with Demetri."
"You got married and had a daughter?!" That got me surprised.
"So? What's it to you? I bet you have 12 spawns with Annabeth."
I sulked. It must have been really obvious. "Um… I haven't seen Annabeth in 5 years, Clarisse."
She softened. "Oh um…, sorry. I didn't know. Here meet my daughter. This is Demetri Rodriguez." She said as a little girl about 3 years old.
"Demetri, meet Uncle Percy, real name, Perseus." The little girl waved. I smiled and waved back. Chris then showed up. "She runs really fast you know!" he panted.
Then, he noticed me. "Oh gods, is that you?! Oh, man! I haven't seen you since forever! I thought Athena killed you, blasted you into smithereens or something. I bet you've got 10 times as many spawns as me and Clarisse have. How's Annabeth?" I didn't answer, I just sulked again.
Clarisse whispered something in his ear. He looked like he saw a ghost. "Dude, I'm sorry. You've gotta find her dude! You need each other."
I laughed, "Yeah, I know. I just can't find her. The Fates are twisted."
"Man, you know you fates are intertwined. You'll find her someday."
"Really, our fates are intertwined? How cliché can you get?!"
"Clarisse is rubbing off on me!" I just laughed.
The next day, an article came out on the newspaper:
PERCY JACKSON IS ACTUALLY A PERSEUS?!
Percy Jackson was caught with some friends yesterday at 3:OO p.m. They are the first friends we have seen of Percy's.
At 2:58 p.m. an unknown lady called a name only found in Greek Mythology. "Perseus Jackson!" she called. We later found out that she was Clarisse Rodriguez, known before as Clarisse La Rue. At first, we thought she was Percy's, or should I say PERSEUS'S, long lost girlfriend. We later found out that she was nothing but a friend who married to another friend, Chris Rodriguez.
Percy was startled but happily started talking to the two. They kept saying the name of a girl, Annabeth. Who was this mysterious girl they were talking about? And why the two Rodriguezes think she and Percy would have spawns, as they call it? Why does Clarisse use such foul language in their conversation? Why do they always refer to Greek Mythology? And why do they say gods instead of god? We will keep an eye out Percy, or should I say PERSEUS, Jackson.

And there was a picture of us below. Pretty darn stupid of you asked me, but that was the life of a demi-god superstar. And Chris was right, I need Annabeth in my life or I would die of loneliness.

That, everyone, is the prologue of Finding My Sunshine. I actually like this one! I thought it was written quite nicely. But that's just my opinion. Reviews are appreciated and praises are indeed welcome. Criticism is okay too, I guess. Please really support me in my first PJO story!
