I know this is a pretty common fan fiction, but I was inspired to try to write me own version. The first few paragraphs and all of the characters are completely Rick Riordan's. My story starts on page 350 of TLO right after Annabeth agrees to rebuild Olympus.

"PERCY JACKSON!" Poseidon announced. My name echoed around the chamber.

All talking died down. The room was silent except for the crackle of the hearth fire. Everyone's eyes were on me – all the gods, demigods, the Cyclopes, the spirits. I walked into the middle of the throne room. Hestia smiled at me reassuringly. She was in the form of a girl now, and she seemed happy and content to be sitting by the fire again. Her smile gave me the courage to keep walking.

First I bowed to Zeus. Then I knelt at my father's feet.

"Rise, my son," Poseidon said.

I stood uneasily.

"A great hero must be rewarded," Poseidon said. "Is there anyone here who would deny that my son is deserving?"

I waited for someone to pipe up. The gods never agreed on anything, and many of them still didn't like me. I looked around. Most of the gods either had warm smiles or no expression. The only different expression was that of Athena, who was avoiding eye contact, but still not a single one protested.

"The Council agrees," Zeus said. "Percy Jackson, you will have one gift from the gods."

I hesitated. "Any gift?"

Zeus nodded grimly. "I know what you will ask. The greatest gift of all. Yes, if you want it, it shall be yours. The gods have not bestowed this gift on a mortal hero in many centuries, but, Perseus Jackson – if you wish it – you shall be made a god. Immortal. Undying. You shall serve on Olympus or as you father's lieutenant for all time –"

"This is absurd! The boy deserves a gift perhaps, but IMMORTALILY? Absolutely ridiculous!" It was Athena who interrupted Zeus.

I was frozen in place; no one talks back to Zeus, not even his favorite daughter.

"Athena, we agreed to give this boy whatever he wished. If he wishes to become immortal then so be it." Zeus said, his voice was strained due to his growing impatience.

"I will not have it!" Athena announced. "He is not even the hero of the prophecy! My daughter did just as much as that sea spawn had. He just happened to be there and he–"

"Athena! I do hope you are not requesting that we deny my son the rights to saving the Olympus!" Poseidon interjected.

At this point I was frozen in place in the middle of the chamber before the 15-foot raging gods. But, even though they were fighting about whether or not I will become a god, it just hit me what this would mean: no more camp, or Mom, or Paul, or school, or friends, or… or…. I looked over to the grey eyed girl standing behind me. Her face was pale and her eyes were locked on me as I stood there, frozen. I flashed back to two years ago, when I'd thought she was going to take the pledge to Artemis and become a Hunter. I'd been on the edge of a panic attack, thinking that I'd lose her. Now, she looked pretty much the same way.

Then Aphrodite cut in as well, "Athena is right! We cannot make Percy a god! Imagine what that would do to poor Annabeth! Now I have worked long and hard to get these two where they are now and I will not just let you throw it away because of some silly little gift!" She kept blubbering on and on.

My eyes were still on Annabeth. Her cheeks blazed with a deep blush, while mine, no doubt, did the same.

Poseidon, Athena, and Aphrodite were all arguing about my current state of being when Zeus bellowed, "SILENCE!" All eyes went straight to the powerful Olympian. "Now, without any more input from our three hotheads," he gave a meaningful look at each of them and continued, "would anyone else like to say any words before we vote on whether or not Perseus will be granted immortality?"

"Lord Zeus, I would like to offer a… compromise," Hestia said in her small yet confident voice.

"Please, do go on," Zeus urged, obviously growing tired of the topic at hand.

"Well, Lord Poseidon wishes for Percy to become a god as a gift from the gods, Lady Athena believes that Percy is being given too much while her daughter did just as much, and Lady Aphrodite wishes for the young couple to stay together," Hestia stated.

I felt my cheeks burned again after she said the last part.

"Please, Hestia, do get to the point," Zeus pleaded.

"Very well. I propose that we bestow both young heroes with our gift," Hestia said simply.

Mumbling filled the room as the gods each deliberated the idea. Meanwhile, my face lit up like a little boy on Christmas morning. Annabeth and me… gods?

Zeus cleared his throat loudly but only got half the room's attention so he pounded his Master Bolt on the floor once, creating a loud boom of thunder to fill the room and electricity to scatter on the floor. "Now that I have your attention," he said, "we will begin the vote. All those in favor of Percy and Annabeth joining us here in Olympus as gods rise."

I was shocked. All but Hera and Athena rose, even Ares and Dionysus stood.

"Does that mean that we're going to be…?" Annabeth trailed off, mostly talking to herself.

Zeus finished her sentence, "Gods? Yes. We can make the transformation at the moment or you may visit all of your families and friends for the last time while you are still mortal."

I looked over at Annabeth to confirm what already knew she wanted, "We wish to visit our families first, Sir."

"So be it, you must meet us back here in 48 hours for the ceremony. Don't be late!" He declared.
