Chapter 1: The Big Three Get Punished
Zeus, Poseidon and Hades were once again arguing over who's child was the best. "Thalia is the best; she's immortal because she is a hunter."
"No! Percy is the best. He's the more powerful of the three and he has saved us all more times than Thalia and Nico have."
"You're both wrong. Nico is the best because he's braver and doesn't let emotions get in the way of decisions."
Apollo was starting to get annoyed at the constant arguing that was happening between the brothers. It has been going on for the past week or so and doesn't seem likely to stop any time soon. He decided an intervention was in order so he decides to enlist the help of Hermes and Athena who were both feeling the same annoyance as Apollo. Together they should be able to come up with a way to get the three brothers to act like the Gods they are instead of petty teenagers. The second Apollo said teenagers, Athena came up with a plan that left Apollo and Hermes smirking. They sat talking for hours, perfecting even the smallest, most trivial detail. Once that was done and they were all happy did the plan take place.

Zeus stepped off of his throne and suddenly felt a lot smaller than what he knew he was. Concerned, he walked to his palace. The walk seemed to take longer and everything seemed to be taller than usual. Once he was in the safety of his palace did he decide to check to see if anything was out of the ordinary. He walked over to one of his extravagant mirrors. What he saw enraged him. He yelled at the top of his voice demanding a meeting between all Gods and Goddesses to take place now.
Poseidon was taking a leisurely swim at Miami beach when he suddenly felt off balance. He floated on his stomach in the middle of the water, not far from the beach but not so far out to sea. A boat passed by and as the sun reflected off the body of the boat, Poseidon saw the reason why. He felt a mixture of emotions - shock, anger and slight humour. Before he could fully process what he was seeing and feeling, he heard Zeus demanding all Gods and Goddesses to a meeting.
Hades was sitting in the underworld with nothing to do. Death rates were very low this past week so he was left bored. He was lost in his mind, thinking of ways to torment his brothers when his wife came in with some more paperwork. It was only when she screamed that he was brought out of his musings. Persephone dragged him over to one of her mirrors. Hades stood there, confused for a moment at the reflection. Just as he realized what he was seeing did he hear Zeus's thunderous voice. He left Persephone in shock to attend the meeting on Olympus.

Once all of the Gods were seated at the table (with not one looking curiously at the Big Three) Zeus demanded to know who did this to him. At first he imagined it was his brothers however that thought left his mind when he saw that they were in the same predicament as himself. Apollo, Athena and Hermes decided to drag out the confusion and the annoyance that the brothers were feeling until they felt that it was losing his humour. Only then did they decide to own up. Athena stood up. The table went silent, everyone looking at the Goddess of Wisdom. "It was I who turned you. However, it was a joint plan between myself, Hermes and Apollo. We were growing tired of the constant bickering between the three of you over who's child is the best. It's petty. This type of pettiness only shows in children and teenagers so we have decided to turn the three of you into teenagers and gave you the powers of your children. Only when you have matured and stopped this bickering will we turn the three of you back. While you are teenagers you will be attending Goode high school in New York for the next academic year. You will be expected to attend all lessons as teenagers." Once Athena had finished explaining the situation, she bowed and sat back down. Hermes stood up.
"We have given you all false identities to fit in since Zeus and Hades and Poseidon are slightly uncommon and by slightly uncommon we mean they don't exist in modern society. As it stands, Zeus, your name will be Zac. Poseidon, your name will be Dylan and Hades, your name will be Des. You will all share the same last name which will be Perry." Hermes finished.
Apollo then stood up and explained the last few details. They would start school on the first of September (which was the following Monday!) and they were already enrolled ready to start as freshmen. "I repeat what Athena said. You must not miss school." Apollo sat back down. That was ll the three brothers needed to know.
The Big Three looked at each other. That look said exactly what each one was feeling: this will be the worst year to ever exist.

Hermes had found them a three bedroom apartment near to the school, Apollo had given them a car to share in order to get to school, go for clothes and other little trips that they might need to go on. Athena gave them all the text books that they would need for the year and some mortal money for them to get clothes, food and other things they might need.
Once Monday arrived the Big Three were sent down to earth to live the life of a teenager with only the powers of their demigod children. "This is going to be a extremely LONG year" screamed Hades.
