A/N: Okay this is a story of drama, action, friendship and of course LOVE! I added a new character call Valerie Dell, I added her so there is MORE DRAMA! Also this is not Percabeth *dodges a brick* BECAUSE Percabeth already exists! I have nothing against Annabeth, frankly I could care less who is with Percy (no offense I Love Percy he is my favorite character). Ohhh and if you don't like just don't read it! No flames please but I do accept suggestions. Different POVS! OH! And tell me if you want a special moment of love between a couple tell me! Well this is long ON WITH THE STORY!

Disclaimer: I do Not Own PJATO or HoO (but between you and me I wish I did hehe). The only thing I own is Valerie Dell. That's ALL!

Chapter One

I Almost Lose My Head

Valerie's POV

Hey! My name is Valerie Dell. I got to Goode Middle School in Manhattan, NY. I'll be going to Goode High School this Fall. Yippee! Notice the sarcasam there? Anyway I have to go to an orientation, sucks I know right. So here I am in the stands watching the cheerleaders talking about the tryouts blah blah and blah. Good thing I know some people from high school! But there are 3 people that are the best! Grover, Rachel and Percy. I love that I have something in common with these guys. Like for Grover we both want to save nature and endangered animals. With Rachel we both LOVE ART! And with Percy we both love to swim, we also clean the beach since he discovered I love the water he took me under his wing he usually scares of the boys that ask me out haha. I remember this one time where he made a guy filled out a form where he was gonna take me so the boy went and cried "I'm not filling that 56 page form!" Which was fine by me. Ahh, good times, good times.

But basically that's all I have in common with these guys. Grover has his crutches and his skin is a later darker than mine he has curly brown hair, brown eyes and some hair is starting to grow from his chin. He is the captain for Saving The Wild Club. And there Rachel with her red hair that always in the sun it looks like it's on fire that matches her freckles on her face. She always some jeans splattered with paint and she had green emerald eyes. She is the captain for the Art Club. And last but defiantly not least is Percy with blank messy hair, green sea eyes and tan body that most girls die for and I was like eww, get a life! I was snapped back to reality with Percy's voice speaking into the microphone talking about tryouts for the swimming team figures he's the captain.

"Hope all you try out and see you this fall!" Percy finished winking at me, I rolled my eyes when I notice some girls glaring at me with a hint of jealousy Percy too had his glares. I was disgusted Percy was like my brother. We all started filling out the gym. Outside I was greeted with a tackle hug from behind I turn around to see Percy with his mischievous grin.

"Hey Percy," I greeted trying to get away from his hug. No such luck. I realized Grover and Rachel from behind smiling."What you guys smiling at?"

"Well, we want you to try out for the our clubs," said Percy. STILL not letting go.

"Sure as long as you LET ME GO!" I screamed earning a few stares.

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"Pinky Promise?" asked Percy mockingly making a puppy dog face and holding up his pinky. I rolled my eyes and notice Grover and Rachel trying hard not to laugh. I broke a grin and took his pinky with mine and said, "Pinky Promise," and broke out laughing soon the other three joined and Percy let me go.

"Wow, Valerie that's a serious oath to keep," Grover said smiling I rolled my eyes.

"Hey you guys want to hang out at my place, maybe order some pizza mess with Percy etcetera," Rachel asked.

"Sure," said Grover

"I'm in if it means messing with Percy," I said smiling.

"You guys are meanies," Percy pouted looking midly offended.

"Ohhhh Percy you know we love you," I said and gave him a hug which he gladly respond to it.

"I know, I'm awesome," said Percy. I rolled my eyes and stop hugging him we all turn to Rachel.

"What?" she asked, "Oh yeah, let me just get the keys." She patted her pockets and frowned. "Oh yea I put them on the stands back at the gym." She said.

"I'll go for them," I offered. Before they could protest I went jogging back to gym. I looked and looked until I saw far away a little object that shined a little with the sun. I ran to it and found out that they were the keys. I smiled and took them and turned around to walk back to the door. Halfway there I heard a horrible sound.

SCREECH!

I turn around to see a strange creature. It (in this situation I didn't have the time to figure out if it was a she or a he so I went with it) had the body of a lion and the head and wings of a eagle and a snake for a tail. I would have thrown up if it wasn't so scary. I tried to scream but discovered my vocals weren't working so I did the natural and most logical thing anybody would have done in my situation: I ran. The monster cried out and charged. Right there I found my voice (who was hiding behind my fear) and screamed my lungs out. The monster flew right in front of me and behind it I saw the gym doors opening and Percy, Rachel and Grover running. The monster sniffed the air and turn around. I slowly started backing up slowly. Big Mistake. It snapped its head back to me and grab me by the neck with its tail and lifted me in the air.

"Hang in the Valerie!" said Percy while grabbing a pen.

I don't know how with this thing squeezing the life out of me but I managed to say, "Ohh Im hanging alright!"

Percy charged, I guess the monster thought he was more dangerous than me because he threw me I landed over the stands and hit my head HARD. My vision went fuzzy but not my hearing I could hear over the gym Grover, Rachel and Percy screaming my name.

"Ow," I complained and touch the back of my head, only to feel my head wet. I looked at my hand with red goo. I wish it was red sweat but I had a feeling it wasn't. When I looked at my hand I also notice my mood ring shining bright.

Flashback

Here Sweety, your dad wanted you to have this," said her mother. I took it with my toddler hands and realized it was a ring.

Her mother must have saw her puzzled look because she said, "It's a mood ring, honey. It changes depending on your mood if you are happy it changes to yellow, if you are mad it changes to red and so on, so on. But it's usually green like the sea and it means you are calm.

"Moo rin?"

Hahaha, yes honey, mood ring use this ring when you most need it and trust me you'll know when," said my mother smiling. "Moon rin," I said once more in awe and hugged my mom.

End of Flashback

I was snapped back to reality when I heard metal clashing against the floor, it was Percy's sword flying across the room (yeah you heard me). Percy having a sword wasn't one of my worst trouble right now because the monster was heading toward me. Rachel tried to stop only to be smacked and she stumble backwards, Grover went to check on her. I did the only thing I could think of, I tapped the ring and it turn to a bow and arrow. I'm pretty sure I never learned to throw an arrow but it's a good time find out when a monster. I notched the arrow and the arrow flew and hit the monster in the head. Next thing I know the monster is a pile of dust. I turned to my friends and said, "I think I'm losing my head." My knees buckled and then I was unconscious.
