Before I read the book, I just looked at it and thought of how it could have gone. Unfortunately, Rick Riordan didn't have my imagination. So, this is how I would have made The Lightning Thief go (NOTE: This is before I read it)
Percy, a twelve year old boy was just accused of stealing the Master Bolt. He was now being interrogated by Zeus himself... Zeus blew saliva into Percy's face, "Πού είναι ο Μπολτ Master (Where is the Master Bolt)?"
"Excuse me? I can't understand any..." Percy started.
"Πού είναι ο Μπολτ Master (Where is the Master Bolt)?" Zeus yelled, cutting him off.
"I really can't understand what you are saying, Zeus." Percy tried to explain.
"Να μην παίζουν παιχνίδια μαζί μου, τον Περσέα! (Don't play games with me, Perseus!)"
"Excuse me? Speak English, please!" Percy screamed.
"Σιωπή! (Silence!)" Zeus yelled.
With that, Percy was electrocuted by Zeus' awesome lightning bolts. Ending. Percy's face was charred and hair sticking up... Then, Zeus yelled once more, "Πού είναι ο Γιώργος Ουάσιγκτον? (Where is George Washington?)"
"Can you speak English? Because, I can't understand ANYTHING you are saying!"
"Σκάσε και πες μου όταν ο Δάσκαλος Bolt είναι! (Shut up and tell me where the Master Bolt is)" Zeus screamed as he electrocuted Percy.
"Speak English! Do you know what that means? It has nothing to do with lightning bolts being thrown at me!"
"Σκάσε! (Shut up!)" Zeus roared.
"Blarghy Bloo! Did you understand what I said? That's how I feel! Am I crazy or something?" Percy exclaimed.
"Κύβος βλάκας! (Die moron)" Zeus yelled.
"Hey Zeus! I found it!" a satyr yelled, "It was under my pillow the entire time!"
"Τι (What?)" Zeus asked.
"You mean I was electrocuted, tied up, traveled from New York to Los Angeles and back again, battled monsters, lost my mom, tortured, and it was under that saytr's pillow?" Percy yelled.
"Yes, I guess it was." Zeus stated.
"And you can speak English?" Percy asked.
"For over one hundred years."
"Die moron!"
"What?"
Percy grabbed Zeus' lightning bolt and threw it at the saytr and Zeus. Killing them both...
So now you know how I thought The Lightning Thief went. It would have been awesome if they sent this in to Hollywood or Rick Riordan. Because this would have been the most hilarious ending ever.
