Hello everyone! Jay here :) so, me and a friend of mine -ADayWithoutSmilingIsADayWasted- decided to write a story together! The jest of it is that ten demigods will go undercover together (you'll find out who), in a high school. And yes, it's Goode High.

Here's something important: The Greeks and Romans have always been BFFs. Gaea never happened, for the sake of simplicity. Okay, I think that's all you need to know. Enjoy.

Skyfall: Undercover Demigods 01:

Settling In.

Everyone's a Mortal.

Reyna's POV.

"... I'm so very sorry for the inconvenience and hurry of all this," Chiron said, clopping back and forth, "But we can't get to the demigods fast enough, so it's crucial that Greeks and Romans work together on this. Lupa and I have talked. You're to walk in to school in pairs. As I call your name, please stand next to your group."

I felt nervous. Jason Grace -my best friend- gave me a reassuring smile, but that didn't really help. From across the room, Hazel Levesque grinned cheekily at me, and then laughed at something that her brother, Nico di Angelo, had said.

"Percy Jackson with Annabeth Chase. You're to become the golden couple of the school." Chiron said. I snorted. That shouldn't be hard. Annabeth and Percy were the most popular at both the Roman and Greek camps. They were good looking. They were the perfect couple. In any high school, they'd be popular in no time.

"Hazel Levesque and Jason Grace," Chiron continued. I felt my heart sink as the two of them moved next to each other. Of course, I knew they were the perfect team; both were happy, perfectionists, and smart. They'd fit in divinely at the nerd group, or anywhere else. "You two are to pretend to be brother and sister. Hazel will be adopted. You two are to be in different cliques. One in prep, and one in geeks."

Immediately, I knew Jason would want to be a geek. As weird as it sounded, Jason was a geek at heart. He was so smart and if it wasn't for the fact that he was praetor, he'd wear socks and sandals all the time. Hazel would be happy with being a prep, I knew. Being an older child (and I mean that literally), dressing plainly was fine with her.

"Nico di Angelo, Thalia Grace, and Reyna Avila Ra-" Chiron caught me glaring at him, and quickly stopped speaking, "And Reyna. Just Reyna." He waited till we all stood next to each other. "You three will be the goths of the group." He turned to face everyone, "Every Friday you will Iris-Message me. You will meet every night together to report your findings. You'll be staying with the Blofis-Jacksons." Chiron looked at us and smiled, "From Lupa and I: Welcome, Goode High Students."

As we walked out, Chiron put his hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry about school, Reyna. It's just a pesky pass-time."

I walked towards my bags, which were sitting on the stairs of the Big House. Looking around me, I realized how different this Greek camp was from my Rome. It was simpler, less orderly. But in it's own way, beautiful. In my opinion, though, it would never compare to my New Rome.

Argus -I believe that was his name- tapped me on the shoulder. He pointed to the car, and I nodded, smiling at him. Argus was good company, and not half-bad for Juno's creation (I too, didn't fancy Juno. She'd once sprayed me with wet cow manure). Walking with him, I called shotgun and jumped into the car. No one was there yet, so my calling shotgun went unheard except for Argus.

As we sat there, in silence, Argus said in a deep voice, "You'll need a makeover."

"Why?" I asked, desperately trying to ignore the fact that his tongue did have eyes, just as the legends said.

"Too look more goth. You look normal." Argus said, as if the fact were perfectly obvious.

Unfortunately, he was right. Thalia and Nico already had the perfect goth look -dark hair, dark jeans, dark shirts, steady glares- but me? I dressed like a princess and acted like a goth, I suppose. Argus was right. Just then, though, I heard someone shout, "SHOTGUN!"

I braced for impact, and sure enough, Thalia Grace bumped into the car, opening the door. She was about to get in when she saw me. "Um," she said, "I called shotgun."

I didn't feel like arguing, so I simply got up and out. I was climbing out when Argus violently shook his head, and pointed to me, then the seat. "She stays." He said.

Well, no one argues with Argus. Thalia sighed but smiled at me good-naturedly. She crawled into the very back of the van, next to Annabeth and Percy. "Hi." I heard her say.

Percy nudged her, "We've got a dam hunter."

She glared.

Jason, Hazel, and Nico all rushed into the car, Nico calling a window seat, and Jason the same. So, therefor, Hazel ended up squashed inbetween them. She didn't look happy. Argus opened an eye on the back of his head, and counted.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Satisfied that we were all here, he turned on the engine. Soon, Camp Half-Blood had faded in the distance, and Percy Jackson was telling us all about his school and what to expect.

Percy and Annabeth had been to Goode High before. They both new the ropes and were exceedingly popular. Here was the catch, though; they hadn't revealed to the school that their most popular juniors were dating. Everyone thought they didn't even know each other, which would prove to be a problem. Hazel was coming up with outrageous ideas on how they could get together, proving to make even Nico di Angelo laugh.

I, on the other hand, fell asleep. I didn't have any dreams, and awoke only when Jason poked me in the neck. "Rey Rey!" He said.

I flinched, and slapped his hand away, "It's Reyna." I hissed.

But his smile didn't linger when he said, "Maybe to the world, but to me, you're Rey Rey."

I grimaced at I climbed out of the van, my cheeks warm. All seven of us climbed up the stairs to Percy's apartment. He knocked on the door, and when his step-dad, Paul Blofis, answered, he said, "Hi Paul. Can we come in?"

Paul's eyes narrowed, "No demigods allowed." He slammed the door in Percy's face, who held out a finger as if to say wait for it, wait for it... Paul opened the door again, Sally by his side. "Ah! Regular old mortals!" Paul exclaimed, "Come in, mortals!"

I thought it was strange that Paul kept calling us mortals, but Percy acted like it was just a joke. As we walked inside, I marveled at how big the apartment was. Mrs O'Learey could fit in here (I later found out that she did, once, take a nap in this apartment). Ms Jackson (or did I have to call her Mrs Blofis?) ushered us into the living room where she had us all sit down.

"Now, tell me, what are your cover stories... as I call your name -in alphabetical order- you're to tell me." Sally said. I knew immediately that this was Lupa's doing. She was a stickler for order. "Annabeth."

Annabeth said that she didn't need to make up a story, since she had gone to Goode High before, last year, but that if anyone asked she would simply say that her dad was a scientist and lived in California with her step mom. She lived with her boyfriend and his family. Sally smiled, and I heard Thalia whisper, "She'd never be that open. She'd probably just glare at the asking victim."

Sally went down the line, and finally, she got to me.

"Reyna."

"Parents died in a sunken ship, ma'am." I said. This was true. My father had met my mom, Bellona, aboard none other than the Titanic. He was a waiter. Bellona had met him before -when they had Hyllia- and when she saw him again, she simply made herself look different and caught him in her grasp again. When the ship had sunk, Bellona had tried to save my father, but to no avail. She, of course, survived the sinking of the great ship, and once I was born, she placed me and Hyllia in the hands of our cruel Aunt Linda.

I continued, "Foster child, ma'am. I live with Mr and Mrs Hant." Sally nodded and smiled. She asked me to show her my papers, and I did. She flipped through them, then handed the papers to Paul. He made sounds as he read them, and handed them back to me saying the were perfect.

We all stood up, then, because Sally said it was getting late. She said that the three boys were to share a room (for some reason, Nico didn't seem to like that), and the four girls to share the guest room. We all crowded in, and I felt a slight pang when I saw Percy kiss Annabeth goodnight. Jason just waved at me.

Nico kissed Hazel's forehead, and Jason hugged Thalia.

And I felt alone, standing by the door to the guest room. Suddenly Sally stood before me. "Goodnight," She said.

"Goodnight." I replied, "thanks for everything, Mrs Blofis."

Sally smiled, "Come now, you don't need to call me Mrs Blofis or Ms Jackson. I'm simply Sally. And you know, if you have any boy trouble this semester, you know where to find me." Sally's eyes twinkled. She gave me a hug, and as she walked away, I felt a warmness spread through me.

Perhaps this year wouldn't be so bad after all.
