Disclaimer: I own neither Percy Jackson nor Pirates of the Caribbean and I don't want to. I want to see what other people come up. Also, I will call Percy and Co. demigods even if they no longer are in this story and this meant to be comedic not action-packed, though there will be action. Overall, don't like, don't read.

Chapter 1: Vacation?
Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, and Leo as well as Clarisse, Chris, Connor and Travis, Nico, Reyna, and Thalia had all been summoned to Olympus. It had been a few weeks since Gaea had been lulled back to sleep and the group of demigods had all thanked, Fortuna, the Fates, and every other deity that they were alive at the end of the war.
But this morning, they had all woken up to find a very nice letter with the seal of Olympus cordially calling them to the Olympian throne room that afternoon. The letter also told them not to speak of it to anyone else and to make up a story that would explain a week-long absence. Thalia had come with Artemis when her mistress told her that she could take her and they told the rest of the hunters that Thalia had a private hunt to attend to. Annabeth had made an excuse of needing to go to San Francisco to see her Dad. Percy told everyone he was going to visit his mom and would be going on vacation with her and Paul. The others came up with similar stories of visiting parents or going on some vacation or other.
The group met up at the throne room doors and smiled when they saw the invitations in the other demigods' hands. They walked silently into the throne room and bowed to Zeus before standing in front of their respective parent's throne, though Thalia stood in front of Artemis' throne instead of Zeus'. Zeus banged his master bolt on the throne room floor, effectively starting the meeting.
"Demigods, as thanks to for your valiant service in the past two wars, we on Olympus would like to grant you a gift," said Zeus. The demigods glanced around confused before Percy voiced what was on everyone's mind.
"But we have already been rewarded," said the son of Poseidon. At the end of the war the gods had turned this group as well as the centurions from Camp Jupiter and the cabin heads at Camp Half-Blood immortal, but each demigod retained the powers they had as a demigod. If anything though, those powers had gotten stronger.
"Yes," said Zeus. "But we decided that you must be rewarded for not griping or complaining about having been through two wars, but especially you and my son Jason," Zeus said as he looked at his son who was also very confused. "You were kidnapped, hauled away from your lives, had your memories stolen, and forced to fight in another war and did so without much complaining."
"But that was to save the world, so it kind of worked out in our favor too," said Jason.
"Yes, but do you want a vacation or not?" asked an exasperated Hera. Her husband was doing a terrible job of explaining things. "We have seen everything that you have done and how you have done it. We wish to thank you for saving us after we put you through hell. We are trying to send you on vacation to have a break from regular demigod life."
The demigods looked even more confused. Vacation? Away from regular demigod life? They hadn't said no monsters, but several realized that life would be boring with no monsters. But vacation to where?
Poseidon spoke up after a long pause. "We'd be sending you to a simpler time," he said. "There would still be monsters, though I have no doubt that you can handle them," he said with a smile. "We would send you to the sixteenth century. A time when sailing was at its peak. Sailing is an art that demand the use of both the sea and the sky. But it also holds untold death." Everyone saw the children of the big three get excited. "It was a time of thievery, deception, lies, and battles..." The Stolls, Chris, and Clarisse were excited too, as were Annabeth and Reyna at the challenge of a new battlefield. "as well as one of new technologies." Leo got a crazy grin on his face. "But it will also be a time that you have to yourselves to do with as you please." At these words all the demigods became more excited. But then Annabeth spoke up with a confused look on her face.
"But what will we have when we get there?" asked the daughter of Athena.
"Your wit, your cunning, your bravery," said Athena. The demigods were slightly less excited.
"A ship, a fortune, an island, and all the time you want," said Hephaestus. Athena glared at him. "What?" he asked with a smirk. "You were stomping on their hopes with cleats." Several Olympians laughed but the demigods were grinning like crazy.
"So what do you say?" Zeus asked with a smile.
The demigods looked around all were smiling. Several locked eyes, Travis and Connor and Leo, Jason and Piper, Percy and Annabeth, Chris and Clarisse, Frank and Hazel. After a minute of silent deliberation when Percy stepped forward.
"I believe I speak for all of us when I ask: When do we leave?" he asked. The other demigods nodded and voiced their agreements as they all gathered in the center of the throne room. Zeus and the other gods smiled.
The gods then took turns explaining things. Hephaestus began by saying that he, Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon worked together to design and create the perfect ship, which is where they would be when they arrived. Athena explained that they would keep their demigod powers when they arrived. She also told them that they would more than likely cross paths with Calypso and that she would know who they were. Something about how she was immortal and the timeline doesn't affect her the way it does mortals. Leo looked excited. Hades explained that the group would have a private island that they could dock at that had everything that they would need as well as a few servants who would live there full-time to handle affairs and that Percy with his sea-sense would automatically know where it was. Aphrodite explained how she would handle the clothing required. Artemis explained that mythical creatures were still around and came out in the mortal world more then than now and not to be alarmed if they saw one. The mortals should treat the creatures with respect, but if they didn't to give them Hades. The god of the dead smirked but nodded. Hera showed them a statue of the symbol of Olympus that was a foot tall and made of solid gold and would be their way back. She explained how when all the demigods put their hands on it and spoke 'Camp Half-Blood' they would be transported forward in time and be only ten miles away from Camp Half-Blood's shores. However, that would be exactly one week in the current time no matter how long they stayed. Apollo told them that as long as they didn't do anything overly drastic they wouldn't affect the timeline.
"So when do we leave and how do we get there?" Nico asked.
It was the gods turn to smirk. "You will leave in a few minutes," said Zeus. "You see the gods have a very little known ability to send people to different parts of time. Granted we all have to work together to do it so it hasn't happened very often, or recently for that matter. However, you have united Olympus in more ways than one," he said grudgingly. "So I will ask, are you ready for your vacation?"
The demigods all looked at each other and nodded. The gods rose to their feet and stood in a circle around them. They began chanting softly in Ancient Greek, but the demigods couldn't quite hear was being said. After nearly a minute of chanting they were surrounded by a golden glow. A few seconds later, everything went black.
My other story is not abandoned, merely taking a break.
I also have the next chapter of this fic already written out. If you want to see it let me know and I can try and post it shortly. However, this story will just be updated whenever I feel like it. Pirates of the Caribbean character will appear in the next chapter which is also a lot longer and more exciting and entertaining.
If you have an idea for this story or something you want in it, either leave a review or PM me and I'll see what I can do.
