Notice: "writing" Ancient Greek.

Sally Jackson looked down at her precious green-eyed and raven-haired son. She sighed as she realized that the only way he would understand her is if she spoke Ancient Greek. She remembered that the child's father had warned her in a dream,

She sat next to the ocean gazing at the rocking waves.

"Sally, my love, all of my children are born with a gift. The ability to heal from salt water. But, all demigods are born with what is a curse in the modern day: they can only speak Ancient Greek. They do not understand anything that is said in the Modern Tongue of English. In addition, they do not speak a word of it. He is our son nonetheless. Raise him well."

Sally did not mind the difficult task of raising a child in another language. He was still her son.

Percy 5 Years

"Percy," Sally greeted. Percy waved and started talking to his mother.

"Mom, I had the coolest dream! I was surfing and everything. Can we go surfing?"

Sally had spent the past five years trying to understand her son and was able to pick out the simple words: "Mom"; "Cool"; "Please"; and "Thank-you." However, she did not understand much else. She simply smiled, nodded, and pointed at things to communicate with her small son.

He pointed at the stove then went to the fridge and pulled out eggs. "Eggs," he told his mother. "Blue eggs."

He pointed to the cabinet where they kept a large supply of blue food coloring. One of Sally's coworkers had told her blue food was impossible and she proved him wrong.

"Mommy has to go to work, Percy," she told him pointing at the door once Percy finished eating. He frowned but once she said, "Malcolm!" his frown turned into a broad grin.

Malcolm Hellion was a demigod that lived a few floors above the Jacksons. He too only spoke Ancient Greek and was perfect for Percy.(1.) Sally usually used gestures to communicate things with both Percy and Malcolm. Percy would not know about the truth until he was twelve.

Percy 7 Years

Percy headed over to Malcolm's and sat down to play a game.

"Percy, do you want to go get ice cream?" Malcolm asked.

Percy nodded excitedly. His mom worked at the ice cream shop.

They walked the block it was to Flamingo Ice Cream and recognized it by the fact that Ms. Jackson was standing at the cash register.

The line was not very long and the two got in line.

"What kind do you want, kiddo?"

Percy laughed and pointed to the blue sherbet.

When they got to the register Sally gestured around to signify what do you Want?

Percy pointed to the blue sherbet and Malcolm pointed to the chocolate chip cookie-dough.

"Kid, shouldn't you be in school?" the manager requested.

Percy and Malcolm both looked at him dumbfounded.

"Mr. Ugliano," Sally responded. "He's homeschooled, and doesn't speak English."

"You know this, how?"

"They live a floor above me, sir."

Mr. Ugliano left them well enough alone afterwards.(2.)

When Sally came home, Malcolm and Percy offered her a cookie from the batch they had made. She smiled and took one.

Percy 12 Years

Percy had a reasonable education from Malcolm teaching him. A son of Athena was more than qualified to teach him. Some days Sally felt a tad left out of the loop when Malcolm and Percy conversed but she knew that was nothing compared to how the two felt when they were out in public and almost had to play charades to understand anything. Often, Sally would go do errands for Malcolm just so he did not have to deal with that.

When Sally decided it was time for Percy to head to Camp Half-Blood, she was almost worried he would be angry with her. Then she realized she had a much larger problem: How was she going to explain any of it?

"Percy! Malcolm!" Sally called interrupting their friendly game of tag.

Malcolm and Percy came over. Sally knew enough words to explain to Malcolm that Percy needed to know about demigods.

"Malcom, Percy demigod. Son of Poseidon. Tell him?"

Malcolm nodded in understanding, impressed by the effort Sally put forth in communicating with both he and Percy.

Percy believed every word said and headed off to Camp.

The Minotaur attack affected Percy but Sally had opted to stay home and avoid having to say goodbye.

Percy awoke to striking grey eyes and in his grogginess began speaking to the owner, "Malcolm, what happened?"

He blinked and then saw the owner of the pair of eyes was a twelve-year-old girl.

"I am not Malcom. I am Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena. You?" the girl told him, looking a tad offended at being mistaken for a twenty-eight year old male.

"My bad. Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon."

Annabeth nodded and a second later Malcolm entered.

Malcolm waved at the two kids.

"This is a summer camp, right?" Percy asked. Malcolm nodded in the affirmative. "I don't want my mom alone forever."

Malcolm smiled. "Good. Did you do your Math homework?"

Percy blushed. "I think this is excusable."

Malcolm nodded.

Percy had a few uneventful days in the infirmary and then there was capture the Flag. Percy found this dangerous take on the popular children's game was more than just a little fun. He and Annabeth battled it out and the water healed him when she accidentally cut his harm and he fell into the lake.

"All Hail, Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon," all of Camp Half-Blood chorused.

When Chiron issued Percy, Annabeth, and a satyr named Grover the quest to find the Lighting Bolt the demigods balked.

"Percy, Grover. How exactly do we communicate with anyone outside of camp?"

"Satyrs do speak English, you know."

Annabeth had not known this fact, which peeved her to no end.

They accomplished their quest with more difficulty than was expected, starting with the entrance into the Parthenon.

"Excuse me, how many?" the hostess asked.

"Three please," Grover said holding up three figures and pointing inside to communicate what was going on to the demigods he was traveling with. The menu they had to read was torture, not to mention the fact they had to communicate and the menu had very few pictures.

Even without the three having any form of I.D., the bouncer at the Lotus Hotel and Casino granted immediate access. They did not eat the Lotus flowers because the demigods did not know how to accept or deny them.

Percy 13 Years

Percy ran with Riptide, his sword, extended as he was chased by the skeletal-like creatures. He ran right into a girl with frizzy red hair and sliced her straight through. When the sword didn't even poke through her skin they both gaped.

"So, what's with the play sword?" the girl asked. "I'm Racheal Elizabeth Dare."

Percy nodded despite only understanding her name. "Percy Jackson."

He then ran off after muttering a hasty, "I have to go."

Percy 14 Years

Racheal was staying with her Aunt in an apartment complex in New York City for the school year. She ran into a raven-haired boy and looked up to apologize. She saw he was with someone who looked to be a a decade or so older than him but looked nothing like him.

"Sorry," Racheal said at the same time the boy said something in some foreign language.

"Percy! Malcolm!" a lady with black hair and blue-ish eyes called.

"Cold. Jackets!"

"Mom," the raven-haired boy complained.

"Hello," the lady said to Racheal.

"I don't understand you," Racheal told her.

"Oh, sorry. Most of my son's friends English isn't very good. Sorry. What's your name?"

"Racheal."

"Racheal? She's the girl I sliced through on that dam, Malcolm."

"Nice job," Malcolm snarked off.

And with that Racheal was gone never to be spoken to again by Percy.

Percy 15 Years

Mr. Blofis was curious about Percy's lack of normal communication skills and Sally said it was a secret he could not know. Paul stayed anyway and watched as Percy pointed at things and jabbered on to Malcolm about who-knows-what.

"Annabeth is very pretty," Percy told Malcolm.

Paul was confused and Sally only understood a quarter of what the two were on about during the conversation.

"What about Annabeth?" Sally asked and listened to Percy go on and on about his best friend despite her lack of understanding.

Percy 16 Years

During the war that Sally and Paul were helping in, Paul learned that Percy and the majority of his friends were cursed with the inability to understand anything aside from Ancient Greek. He took severa courses and was able to understand some of the conversation and watched how Sally effortlessly communicated with her son despite a language barrier. He thought that was an inspiring feat

A/N:. This story is going to be co-written by MadMaxLaxBro. If that name sounds familiar it's because he is my Beta.

If you have any charecters you want us to do, leave it in your review. :D

Now: Fottnotes. :D

I don't know how old Malcolm is in the books, so in this he is 28 when Percy is twelve. Making him 23 when he is first mentioned. Therefore, not at camp. Besides it's during the school year anyway.

Yes, that is Gabe. I don't think Sally would marry that nutcase when Percy needed someone who could handle him in his life. So, Gabe is still a charecters just not as Percy's stepdad.

Their quest are going to follow a mix of the books and the movies because it's been awhile since I've read the books and I don't remember the details very well. Besides, admit it the menu thing is kind of funny.

Now: We need charecters so far we have:

Annabeth, Leo, Percy, and possibly Thalia. Make suggestions. Roman and Greek demigods alike. Also, is Octavian just a clear-sighted mortal I'm still confused.

Also: I haven't read House of Hades yet because I'm procrastinating the end of PJO. I will be crying at the end.

Who else is afraid their might be a fanpeople mob at the end no matter what happens?
