Winter Solstice

Hestia's POV

It was the Winter Solstice like always Zeus and Hera were bickering, Poseidon and Athena were arguring about Athens, Artemis and Aphrodite were bickering about the benefits of love, and so on. A firey firework that spelled out " ARE YOU ALL KINDEGARTENS? " They looked at me I just shrugged. I pointed at the clock that held several voices crying out " HEY NICO GET OFF MY HEAD! " "SOON AS ANNIE HERE GET OFF MY A-" NICO, PROFANITY!" I was chuckling with Apollo and Hermes as voices kept yelling at the "Nico."

Zeus being the pseudo God of Theather yelled out "Who are you and why are you interrupting my honorary meeting." I watched as the mysterious people looked up and I notice none of them looked older than 16 years old. One girl that had stormy blue eyes were red and had tear stains on her face. The others were trying and failing to comfort except for three people who looked confused.

Just as Zeus was going to repeat himself a flash was seen and five books and a letter fell from the sky and hit the floor. Athena picked it up and started to read the note.

Dear Gods and Demigods,

We have sent these demigods from the future to read about a great hero of the future Perseus "Percy" Jackson.

We will send visitors periodically and will send Percy there soon.

No harming the demigods and Zeus no trying to kill Percy you've tried many times

not going to happen unless you want to see your father sooner than later

P.S You must use full titles and who your in and a relationship with so sorry Thalia. Peace.

From Apollo, The Three Fates, and Hermes.

The demigods looked at each other and gave a nod and pushed Nico out first. "Hey!" Fine, I'm Nico DiAngelo Son of Hades I was placed and the Lotus Hotel when I was child before the war. The crying girl stood up and started My name is Thalia Grace Daughter of Zeus, Heroine of Olympus, Girlfriend of Percy Jackson. Aphrodite squealed almost breaking everyone on Olympus ears. Zeus was red with Anger. Uh oh. " WHAT YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE A BOYFRIEND, WHEN I GET THAT INSOLENT, ROTTEN, NO GOOD BOY I WILL THROW HIM DEEP IN TARTURUS. Zeus yelled. Thalia, and the other demigods were trying not to laugh but they couldn't take it and they laughed. " You said the same exact thing in 2009.

"Can we continue please." I said Annabeth Chase Daughter of Athena, Huntress of Artemis. Athena gave her daughter a nod and a smile. Artemis looked at Annabeth wearily and said "What about Zoe?" Annabeth face darkened and she said nothing. Travis and Connor Stoll Sons of Hermes. Katie Gardner Daughter of Demeter. Clarrise La Rue Daughter of Ares. Chris Rodriguez Son of Hermes. Leo Valdez Son of Hephaestus, Fire User. Piper McLean Daughter of Aphrodite, Charmspeaker. Jason Grace Son of Jupiter, Praetor of the Tweltfh Legion. Frank Zhang Son of Mars. Hazel Levesque Daughter of Pluto. Reyna Daughter of Bellona.

"What are Romans doing with Greeks?" Athena said. "We don't know. We were just with Percy celebrating our win against Polybotes and we saw flash and poof were here. Hazel said.

"Wait Percy is alive? Nico said having a gleam of hesitation looking at the Romans." "Nico, what are you doing here? I thought you were in the underworld with Dad? And why are you saying Dad's Greek name I thought you were Roman? Hazel said blasting question after question.

"Wait, you knew where Percy was and you didn't tell me!? Thalia said with Anger in her eyes."

"I couldn't tell anyone, it was Hera's fault." Nico said very quickly walking back toward a shadow to get away from Thalia who had a dangerous glint in her eyes.

There was a flash and the voice said " Now Thalia you know not to kill Nico without me right?"

Thalia stopped and looked the figure. He looked about 16 years old about 6'1 he wore a purple shirt with a cape that said in Latin 'Praetor.' He had sea-green eyes just like my brother and he had a mischievous glint in his eyes that only Hermes has. He was giving Thalia a crooked grin that made Aphrodite, Demeter, Artemis, and Athena blush.

"Percy." Thalia whispered as she ran up to him and jumped in his arms hugging him.

" What's up Pinecone Face? " Percy said. "What's up you been gone for almost nine months and all you can say is what's up?" The Greeks minus Piper and Leo groaned. "Ughh Oh Gods not again. They see each other again and all they do is just flirt-fight." They said in unison.

"NO, WE DON'T." Thalia and Percy yelled back to the others The other Gods and Goddesses were watching this clearly amused even though some of the goddesses had a jealous glint in their eyes especially Artemis and Athena.

"Ok, can we read now" I said after I had enough of the hateful words being thrown around. "OK, Lady Hestia we are sorry." Percy, Thalia, and Nico said "Guys, Percy has to introduce himself "Alright, Perseus "Percy" Jackson Son of Poseidon; Hero of Olympus; Savior of Olympus; and Bane of a lot of monsters that I don't want to mention.

He is not arrogant like other men in the world I thought looking at Athena and Artemis. Zeus on the hand was one mad man. "I will not allow this! Poseidon don't you see this. " I agree, I don't like this but if my son is happy then I am too. "Ughh, fine I agree also but if you br-. " If I break heart then you will break me." Percy said in a bored tone " I hear this in 5 years so I'm cool.

"Alright, let's read."
