Hi guys, this is my first fan fic and I welcome all criticism. I'll introduce some new characters along with all your favorites from the normal series. Without further ado, let the story begin.

**NOTE** I do not own any of the Percy Jackson characters.

Chapter 1

Justin

Justin woke up to his alarm. 4:40 it said. Justin slowly dragged himself out of his bed, grumbling all the way to his closet. He slowly looked through all of his clothes when a sudden thought woke him up. Today's the day, he thought. Moments later his grandmother knocked on the door.

" Sweetie? Are you awake?" she asked politely.

" Yes, Grandma," Justin replied as he put on a pair of cargo shorts and a Maine Black Bears shirt. " No one should ever be up this early." His grandma slowly opened the door to his small room and walked in. The woman looked small and frail at first, but anyone that had ever met her knew better. At the old age of 73 she still acted like she was in her thirties, always making jokes and just generally being more lively than she probably should've been.

" Well, you need to hurry up. You'll miss your flight if you don't hurry," she said, " You have to be in the air at five thirty." She left Justin's room while he finished getting ready. He quickly put on some socks and his sneakers, grabbed his suitcase, and headed down stairs.

He was met by the delicious smell of waffles cooking in the kitchen. " Gram? We have to hurry, no time for waffles," Justin said sadly. Waffles were his favorite.

" There's always time for waffles. Come on, you can eat them in the car," his grandma said as she shuffled out the door with a plate of waffles in her hand. Justin picked up his suitcase and hurried out after her.

He hopped into the passenger seat as his grandma started the car. She pulled out of the driveway and sped down the road to the airport. Three times Justin almost dropped his waffles before they reached the first stoplight. " Gram? Don't you think you should slow down?"

"Nope. Gotta get you to the airport." and with that, she sped the rest of the way there.

They finally pulled up to the airport. A large group of kids was standing in the front, listening to a teachers that was listing off names. Justin opened the door and was climbing out of the car when his grandmother grabbed his arm and spoke to him softly," Justin, please try to make friends. Won't you? for me?"

He looked at her sadly," Yes, Gram," He replied. She looked satisfied with the answer, and drove off after letting him take out his suitcase.

Justin looked over at the group and slowly walked over to them. Oh well, he thought, here goes nothing. And he and the other kids boarded the plane.
