Author's Note: Hello! Well...this is my first fanfiction! I'm sorry if there are mistakes, it's my first time and I'm still trying to get used to it XD I was kind of upset that there were barely any time travel stories on Percy Jackson or the Heroes of Olympus series so I decided to make one. This story takes place about three years after the defeat of Gaea. I'm sorry to all of you Caleo shippers but I'm not a big fan of that pairing, sorry! I haven't really finalized the second chapter so feel free to suggest any ideas that you want to happen later on. Anyways your probably reading this and thinking, man will she ever stop talking? Well I'm just going to stop talking right now, so without further ado, introducing: Never Teach a God New Tricks! Enjoy! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own the Heroes of Olympus, it all belongs to Rick Riordan.
Chapter 1: My Girlfriend and I get Abducted by Gods
At Long Island, there was a camp. A camp that was beyond your imagination, a camp for children of the gods, known as Camp Half-Blood. It looked as if it came out of the myths, but it's all real.
Just picture it. Strawberry fields stretching over the land, many cabins lined up by godly parent. Mobs of campers with orange t-shirts doing various activities you could only dream of; lava wall rock climbing, pegasi riding, sword battling. Did I mention monster fighting? It may sound fun but it isn't. Being a demigod was hard, and is definitely not a walk in the park. I mean, sure it can be cool sometimes with the mechanical dragons, Greek fire, battles, pegasi, exploding stuff, ok now I'm getting too carried away. Basically the stories mortals call myths are true, the Greek gods are real and currently live on the 600th floor of the empire state building in New York, unbelievable right?
But above that sanctuary demigods call home, was a floating island. Now I know what your thinking, 'cool a floating island!' Yes it is very cool, and peaceful too. Grass covered the soft soil, there were trees, flowers, lakes, you name it; there was even a beach as impossible that sounds.
In a certain clearing, there was a person, waiting.
Meanwhile, not too far from that location, a figure ran through the trees in a hurry. "Oh no, I'm gonna be late!" The boy ran to the clearing in a rush with only one thought, I'm so screwed. As he reached the clearing, the boy tripped over his feet and face planted the earth in front of the waiting figure.
The person leaned forward in worry and shook the boy as he groaned, "Holy Hephaestus that hurt..." He looked up at the person.
She was beautiful, majestic silky black hair cascaded and flowed down from a high ponytail. She had warm colored eyes like the hearth, fair skin, and wore a flowing lavender tank top with artist crop jeans and toms. Elena Madison. "Leo are you ok?"
Leo smiled and nodded sheepishly as he rubbed his head, "Am I late?"
Elena shook her head, "No, your actually early. But you seem to find face planting fun." She giggled, and helped hoist the boy up as he patted off the dirt that clung to his clothes.
Leo looked insulted, "Well the floor looked really lonely and so I thought I'd give it a hug!" I retorted.
She rolled her eyes, "Oh Leo what am I going to do with you." Elena sighed.
"Kiss me?" She laughed, and kissed him on the cheek. They had been going out for about three years now, and, well a lot has happened over the past three years.
After the prophecy of seven, all of us became gods. No not minor gods, major gods. We were named the Council of Demigods, pretty cool right? I was named god of machinery and fire. Elena is the goddess of miracles, hope, and fire. Frank is god of battles, Hazel is goddess of minerals and gems, Jason is god of storm clouds (which really fits with his nickname Sparky as much as he loathes it), Piper is the goddess of persuasion and true beauty, Nico is the god of shadows, the night, and ghosts, Annabeth is the goddess of architecture and building, and Percy is the god of the tides, waves, and storms.
So basically the Olympians are stuck with us forever, yippee for them! But the upside was that I could be with my friends forever, be with Elena.
We also have to fix this island, it was a gift from the Olmypians for our council hall and living domain. Annabeth is almost done with the blueprints, and let me tell you they are AWESOME.
Leo cleared his throat, "So, uh, the meeting. Where are they?"
"Right here!" In three poofs, three Olympians appeared; Aphrodite, Apollo, and Hermes.
Leo tapped his foot impatiently, "Alright what did you need? I still have to make plans for the forges and-"
"The three of us have decided that you need a break!" Aphrodite chirped.
Leo and Elena blinked in surprise, but then glanced at them suspiciously. "What's the catch?" Elena asked.
Apollo smiled, which showed his shining bright teeth. "Well Hermes was talking with mortals and-"
"It's April Fools day!" Hermes shouted in glee.
Leo swallowed nervously, "Uh, Lord Hermes-"
"My children have so much fun! So I decided to give it a try! Have fun you two!" Hermes waved in anticipation.
This was not good, not at all, and why did Elena and I have to be the victims? Why?
A bright light engulfed the couple, Elena quickly snatched Leo's hand as Hermes spoke, "We'll send for you when the time is right! Have fun!"
"Oh! Also, whatever you do over there won't change the future so have some fun! I just love setting up dates!" Aphrodite squealed before Leo and Elena disappeared.
They were in some kind of light tunnel, tossing and turning. Your probably thinking, 'Ooo! Shiny golden tunnel is fun! Let's go there!' But no, all I recollected was a free fall feeling as the light blinded my eyes.
