And behold! My first fanfic! Don't kill me! Enjoy!

"And now, the council has decided to grant Perseus Jackson the gift of immortality, to become a god under the service of his father." Zeus's voice boomed and echoed across the vast throne room of the gods.

Percy gaped at the Lord of the Skies. "A…a…god? Like, seriously, a…god?"

Zeus sighed. The boy was never going to change. "Yes, a god, and a dim-witted one at that."

Percy whipped his head out of habit towards the side of the room to gaze at his ex-girlfriend Annabeth, who averted her eyes. Immediately, his heart ached at the memory of her breakup just minutes before. He wished he still had her at his side; after all, she was the only one that might cause him to refuse immortality…or one of two.

Percy was pulled back from his thoughts when Zeus gave an impatient grumble.

Percy thought for a second before he made up his mind. He bowed before the king of the gods. "Lord Zeus, I am honored at the possibility of serving you forever. However, I really want to live life to the fullest. After all, I don't want to peak in my junior year. That would suck."

Percy continued, "I therefore decline your generous offer and wish for the council to come up with another reward for me."

At this, the Olympians were sent into an uproar and looked at Percy in shock. Never before had a demigod refused to become a god. Chaos ensued until Zeus finally called for order.

"Very well. As Percy is the Hero of Olympus, we shall comply with his wishes. Any suggestions for his reward?"

Of course, Aphrodite spoke first. Batting her eyelashes in a flirtatious manner, she said very suggestively, "Well, you could spend a week with me in my palace, alone. We'll have lots of fun and I'm sure you would like that a lot."

When all the goddesses rolled their eyes and all the gods went googly-eyed, Percy stood uncomfortably in the middle of the throne room, seemingly neutral.

"Well, if it means serving the gods, I don't see why not."

The moment those words left his lips, the gods all went into another uproar.

"In that case, I need him to sharpen my knives and act as a dummy!" Ares exclaimed enthusiastically.

"I need him to eat more cereal for me!" Demeter yelled over Ares.

"FOOD," Grover moaned.

"ENOUGH!" Zeus yelled at the top of his lungs. "STOP BICKERING! I'm sure we can work- Demeter, be quiet about cereal for once! I'm sure we can work this out, maybe set a schedule or something. OK? Athena, any ideas?"

Said goddess spoke, "I can compile a schedule that will fit our needs and won't disturb our chi and fengshui. Gimme a sec."

3 hours later, she announced the schedule.

"Perseus will serve Aphrodite on Monday, Apollo on Tuesday, Ares on Wednesday, Artemis on Thursday, me on Friday, Demeter on Saturday, Dionysus on Sunday, Hades next Monday, Hephaestus next Tuesday, Hera next Wednesday, Hermes next Thursday, Hestia next Friday, Poseidon next Saturday, and Zeus next Sunday. This will be a nice and fair schedule, and it took a lot of planning."

Zeus questioned, "Isn't it just alphabeti…" He faltered under his daughter's glare. Man, she was creepy. The Lord of the Skies looked away and continued, "Well, this is a very nice and thought-out setup, and if this is OK with Perseus, he will start his duties tomorrow."

At Percy's nod, Aphrodite squealed, "Percy! We're going to have so much fun tomorrow!

Zeus bellowed, "And so it is decided. MEETING ADJOURNED!"
