Percy blinked open his eyes to the sound of beeping.
Great. He forgot to turn off the alarm clock.
With a groan, he stretched his hands up into the air, and stood up onto the floor of his cabin, Camp Jupiter. He turned to turn off the annoying beeping contraption, but... Was he... was he shorter?
And... and was his hand on fire?!
Percy had a strange feeling in his gut. The shortness, the fire, only one person alive could do that without hurting himself. Cautiously, he walked over to the shell adorned mirror next to a mini statue of Poseidon. He crossed his fingers, and closed his eyes. Please, please, please let him look like Percy...
Slowly he opened one eye at a time, and fell onto the floor, shocked by what he saw.
He was... he was...
Suddenly the door flew open and Frank came walking in.
Frank took one look at Percy and smiled.
"When did you get here, Leo Valdez?"
Leo Valdez woke up to a faint scratching, clanging noise. He yawned.
"Really, Festus? REALLY? Do you know what time it is?"
Festus took one look at him, and looked away.
Leo tilted his head.
"Festus? Are you mad at me? Are you still mad about that whole lemon soap incident?"
Festus glared, dragons can glare?, at Leo and walked away.
Leo sighed. Honestly, it seemed like everybody was mad at Leo today. Festus, for cleaning him with lemon soap, which he hates, and Calypso, for accidentally setting her suitcase on fire.
He paused. Calypso...Maybe she would know what's up with Festus.
Leo grinned. "CALYPSO!" He hollered. He was answered by another clanging noise. He sighed. After 3 whole weeks, Calypso still hasn't given up on fixing her favorite birdbath, and refused to accept any help from Leo, who unlike Calypso, was a proffesional in making, and destroying stuff.
After sitting there for a while, Leo finally decided to get up and, sigh, do something. But as soon as he got up, Leo knew something was wrong.
Woah. Was he... was he taller? Leo had growth spurts before, but this, this was CRAZY. It's like he got infected by Frank's blessing thing!
Leo sighed and touched his neck...but what was on his neck? Were those beads? For Camp Half blood?
Leo breathed in deeply and counted the beads.
One, two, three, four, five. Five beads. Five beads representing five summers at camp HB.
Leo suddenly gasped. Didn't, didn't Percy go to camp HB for 5 summers before switching to camp Jupiter?
Wasn't Percy around this tall?
All of a sudden, he heard footsteps from behind him. "Leo?"
Leo cursed under his breath. Calypso.
Calypso walked up to him. "You wanted someth..." She stopped midsentence and dropped everything in her arms with a loud crash.
"Oh my..."
Leo looked down.
"Percy?"
"NO! THIS CAN NOT BE POSSIBLE!"
Percy stood up and glared at Frank. "I...you...Please tell me this is a joke! Please!"
Frank backed away slowly. "Um...look Leo...Are you...Are you okay?"
Percy took a sword from the rack on the wall. "No! I am not okay! AND DO NOT CALL ME LEO!"
Just then, Hazel walked in. "Hey Frank we need th..." She paused, just realizing that "Leo" was in the room. "Oh. Hi Leo! When did you..."
Something snapped inside of Percy's head. He tightened his grip on his sword, and swung it towards Hazel and Frank. "DO NOT CALL ME LEO! I'M PERCY JACKSON! NOT VALDEZ! IF YOU SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME..."
Frank stepped forwards, and attempted to wrestle the sword out of Leo, no, Percy's hand. But as Percy has been trained for a much more longer time than Frank, he easily flicked his hand and threw Frank off him, something Leo never could have done.
Frank landed on the floor and stared up at Percy with wide eyes. "When..How?" But Hazel stepped in front of Frank, and glared at him. "I can't believe you just did that, Valdez! You could have hurt him! And since when could you do that?"
Percy dropped his sword on the floor. "Look I didn't mean to do that. I'm just angry and upset and...confused, okay? Something really weird just happened, so if you want to know what, can we please go outside, get Wise girl, and solve it please?"
Hazel opened her mouth and widened her eyes. "Wise girl? You mean Annabeth? But thats what... Percy calls her!" Frank pushed himself off the floor and gaped at Percy. "Holy Ares! Percy?"
Percy smiled for what seemed like the first time in forever. (AN: I bet some of you have that song stuck in your head now. Whoops! :D)
He wordlessly walked past Hazel and Frank and stopped once he reached the forum. Hazel and Frank ran after him, panting. "Le..Percy. Will you please tell us what is going on?" Hazel grumbled. Percy grinned.
"No can do until Annabeth gets here!"
"You guys need me?"
Frank, Hazel and Percy all whirled around and stared at Annabeth. Frank looked at the cobblestone road. "Uh...yeah..Percy..."
Annabeth walked forwards and stopped in front of Percy. "Oh. Leo. Hi."
Percy sighed. "Look. This might be hard to believe but I'm actually..."
"PERCY JACKSON."
A voice boomed from above.
All four of the demigods looked up and saw Calypso and...Percy? Riding on the back of Festus. Festus landed on the ground and looked at Percy. Calypso and...Percy(That was not the actual Percy, thank you very much) jumped off and stared at Percy.
The fake Percy pointed a... what was that, a screwdriver?, at Percy and sighed. "You have a lot of explaining to do!" Percy sighed. "I..."
"Wait a minute! What is going on?"
Annabeth walked forwards and glared at both Percy/Leo's. Frank cleared his throat nervously. "Um, well Leo..."
Annabeth glared at Frank. "I don't mean that!"
"All I want to know... is what Calypso, IS DOING WITH PERCY!"
Calypso glared at Annabeth. "You!"
Annabeth stepped forwards. "YOU!"
The Percy/Leo's exchanged glances.
Uh oh.
