Hi everybody! It is set AFTER the Giant war, and Annabeth and Percy have called to a Court Trial for Khione as well as the other members of the Prophecy. Please review, as for every 10 reviews, you get a DOUBLE UPDATE. Critique it if you can, and give me inspiration for new characters/POV's and such like. And just because I'm nice, I'll even give you the first two chapters because I'm in a good mood, and the fact I want to draw in more readers!

Chapter 1

Percy's POV

It was all going fantastically, until my father showed up. Annabeth and I were sharing a private moment in my cabin, discussing Capture the Flag strategies, in between kisses. As we debated on the best lookout point, my father's alter began to glow with a green tinge. Annabeth and I broke off our latest kiss and watched, weapons at the ready as the driftwood surrounding it rose and formed a doorway around it. Dressed in a business suit and sea green tie, my father stepped down the "Steps". "Son, future daughter-in-law, you are summoned to a Court Hearing for Khione, Goddess of Snow. Please follow me to the Olympus Court of Justice". He sounded as if he was reading off a cue card. In answer, he then straightened up and said more conversationally, "Oh, by the way Percy, Athena says to not get too carried away with her daughter". Annabeth and I exchanged a guilty look. Changing the subject, I cleared my throat and asked, "Why are you taking us. I mean, shouldn't Hermes or one of his messengers be here?". "Well, we are a bit short staffed at the moment, so we Gods have to collect our own children. Anyway, let's get going!". "Wait, does Chiron know about this?" demanded Annabeth. My father replied, "Of course Chiron knows. In fact, it was him who suggested that I and Zeus collect you two and Jasper (Jason+Piper). Believe me; you do know NOT want to know what they were in the middle of." With that he beckoned us through the doorway.

Annabeth's POV

Great. Percy and I FINALLY get some alone time, then Poseidon turns up and says that we must come to this court hearing. Fine. As soon as we walked through the doorway, it disintegrated into sea spray. We were standing in the atrium of the newly built court of Olympus, designed by yours truly. Scattered 'round it was Jasper, who had clothes on back to front, like they'd hastily thrown them on. Frazel (Frank+Hazel), who looked like they were pulled out of a game of deathball. Leo whose clothes were slightly singed and us. Percabeth. Standing behind us was Mars, Zeus, My mother, Pluto, and everyone else's Godly parent. "You alright?", Percy whispered in my ear. Before I could reply, the grand oak doors swung open. Zeus gestured for us to file in one line. "All rise for the crew of the Argo II and their Godly sires, whom are your jury", boomed a magnificent voice. To make a long story short, we basically sat down in a corner of the courtroom while the trial was being introduced. The defence gave their case and the prosecution presented theirs. Then the jury went into a room and discussed and voted on a verdict. "Annabeth, Percy, are you going to vote now?" my mother politely inquired. Percy and I both said "Guilty". It turned out we were the last to vote, as we had been having a private discussion about the case. Afterwards, we all walked back into the courtroom. "Have we reached a decision yet?", asked Hera, who was presiding as judge. "Yes dear", said Zeus. "We are beyond any reasonable doubt that Khione is guilty. "Lie's!", shouted Khione. "I am the Goddess of snow, the voice in the ear, the cold in the storm! I was not given a fair trial! I was framed!". "Yeah, sure, riiight", Piper said sardonically. "And I suppose Cal was accepted to Quebec University and is studying peacekeeping". "Quite right Piper Mclean", Zeus praised, "I can see why my son chose you to be his girlfriend". Hera interrupted, and said, "Husband, I love trash talk as much as Aphrodite, bu-". "I do certainly NOT love trash talk", exclaimed Aphrodite. "May I continue?", Hera asked. "Fine", muttered Aphrodite. "As I was saying, we need to get this court case over and done with". Raising her voice, Hera boomed, "Khione, Goddess of snow, I, Hera, Goddess of the family, whom is also Juno Moneta, She who warns, charge you with aiding and abetting Gaia, and find you guilty of treason against the Gods. Your punishment shall be to spend the next 3 millennia in Hawaii, where you shall be forced upon the sand, and burn, until your very essence crumbles. Do you accept this punishment?". "No!", exclaimed Khione. "Oh well, you're sticking with it. Now go along with the harpy bailiffs, and begin your punishment". And just like that, the Goddess of snow was gone.

Annabeth's POV

After Khione was sentenced, we walked out, and headed over to one of the many ice-cream stalls. We only had enough drachmas for a shared cone, and we were deciding on a flavour. My mother turned up, and told us that Hecate had a task for us. "Mu-um, me and seaweed brain are getting ice-cream. Can't Hecate wait until we've been served?", I said. In a matter of fact voice, she replied, "She was quite insistent". "Fine", I said. I punched Percy on the arm, breaking him out of his ice-cream induced reverie. He had been so busy choosing a flavour (He'd finally decided on BLUE sea salted caramel), that he hadn't noticed my mother talking to me. "Wha-", He said. "C'mon seaweed brain", I told him. Holding his arm firmly, I dragged him over to Hecate.

Percy's POV

When we got over to Hecate, we found her amusing herself by changing Hecuba in different animals. She was currently turning her into a lemur, but couldn't get the tail right, so it looked like a pom-pom. She raised her head; her black eye's glinting dangerously. "Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase", she said in a quiet voice. "We have so much to talk about and so little time".
