I know I posted a fanfic yesterday, but I really wanted to post this one too! Thanx to everyone who reviewed on When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade. You guys made me smile :) So, this take place in The Son of Neptune, right before they go into Alaska. Sorry if the timeline does not make sense- my memory's a little rusty.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the PJO characters, just Shailene and Falling Into the Blue


Percy walks into the bookstore. Frank and Hazel are outside, looking for methods of transportation.

Percy doesn't know why he's in a bookstore in the first place. He's never been a big fan of books with his dyslexia, he's sure of that. Maybe it reminded him of Annabeth. Maybe she liked to read a lot.

A certain book catches his eye. It shows the words 'Falling Into the Blue' in yellow, with a girl silhouetted against a lake background. At the bottom, the words 'Sally Jackson' is written in smaller font.

Jackson...That's his last name. Curious, Percy turns to the back of the book, hoping to find a picture or description. Instead, it just says where the author lives and lists all the books she as written.

He goes to the beginning, hoping to find something there. As Percy is flipping through the pages, the dedication page catches his eye.

Percy reads it over, and gives a little yelp, dropping the book in the process.

Several people turn to look at him, but quickly go back to what they were doing.

Percy's hands are shaking- it's that bad. How-? Who-? What-? All of his question remain incomplete and unanswered. An elderly man next to him notices his confused stance. "Son, are you okay?"

Percy takes a deep breath, and feels everything return to normal. "I'm fine." he tells the man. "just remembered something."

The man shrugs and returns to his book browsing.

Percy exits the book shop, and stands outside the entrance. A few minutes later, Frank and Hazel show up.

"Percy! We-" Hazel stops, noticing Percy's pale face. "Percy, are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I'm fine." Percy tells her, trying to hide his shock behind a smiling veneer. Honestly, he's not. "What did you guys find out?"

Hazel looks at him suspiciously, but shrugs it off and begins to ramble about what she found.

When they get to Alaska, Percy remembers a number, and calls it, assuring the person who is listening to it that he is fine and he will be back soon.

And when he's sleeping under the stars at the dingy little gas station, Percy recalls the words, and his heart starts thumping faster than normal, and he feels like his throat is closing up.

Later, as they're heading towards the glacier, Percy tries to forget what he's read, because it will only distract him from the imminent battle.

But it's like the words have been burned into his memory.


To my son, Percy Jackson~

In this book, the heroine, Shailene, finds her way back home.

I pray to the gods everyday that you do to.


So, yah, that's it! Again, sorry if the timeline seems a different-my memory of the events in The Son of Neptune are a little rusty.

So make sure to review! They make my day! Bye!
