"What are you talking about?" Ginny was starting to freak out. She was in some sort of woods, right next to a creek. There were a bunch of people standing around; about half seemed to have the same silvery cloths of that girl…Thalia. The rest wore battle armor and carried a slew of weapons. She slumped her head in her hands, and her hair fell over her face. "Wait a minute." she thought. "My hair isn't blond."

She quickly got up. She felt really funny. She raced over to the creek to look at her reflection. Staring back at her was a blond girl, with grey eyes. "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming," she thought, pinching her arm.

"Annabeth?" Percy asked again.

"I don't know who you are," she snapped at him. Thalia put a hand on her shoulder.

"Annabeth, calm down," she said. Ginny just jumped away from her. Thalia went to try again, but Percy stopped her.

"Hey, why don't we go over to the Big House," Percy suggested. "Okay?" Ginny looked at Percy. He looked like he just wanted to help.

"Okay," she said. Percy and Thalia started leading her out of the clearing.

"What about the game?" asked one of the silvery people.

"Um, well…" Thalia stumbled.

"I hurt my ankle a little," Percy said. "And Thalia, you said your shoulder was bothering you, right?"

"Yep. You guys should just finish the game without us," Thalia agreed. It was clear that no one believed them, but they let it go.

"Malcolm, Clarisse, you got this," Percy said. Malcolm and Clarisse looked at each other for a few seconds.

"What?" they both yelled.

"Percy, are you insane?" asked Clarisse. But Percy, Thalia and Ginny had already left.

"Thank you!" she exclaimed.

"What do you mean she's not joking?" Ron yelled. Harry quickly pointed his wand towards Madam Pomfery's office.

"Muffliato."

"I'm not joking," she snapped. "Who the heck are you?"

"I'm Ron, your brother who thinks this is really not funny," Ron said.

"You're not my brother," she said.

"Right, this red hair is just a total coincidence." Ron was clearly fed up with the situation.

"Will you two give it a rest?" Harry exclaimed.

"I have no idea what's going on! I've never seen either of you in my life! I'm supposed to calm down?" she yelled.

"You have seen us before!" Ron said. "I'm your brother, and Harry is your boyfriend." She didn't seem to be listening to him. In desperation, Ron snatched the mirror from beside her bed, and shoved it in her face. "See!"

"Ahhh!" she yelled, clearly shocked. Then for some reason, she looked up at the sky. "This is so not funny!"

"I don't think the ceiling was mocking you," Harry said. She just gave him a look that clearly said she thought he was being stupid. "Okay, so who are you then?"

"Harry, that's a stupid question!" Ron yelled.

"I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." Harry and Ron just looked at each other.

"Okay, so what was that about, Annabeth?" Thalia asked as they walked through the woods.

"Will you stop calling me that?" Ginny yelled. Thalia looked really confused.

"I don't think this is Annabeth," Percy said. Thalia now seemed to think he was crazy.

"Thank you!" Ginny exclaimed. "I'm Ginny Weasley, and I have no idea what's going on."

"What?" Thalia said. "Great, you've both lost it."

"Thalia, what if something wacky happened when you hit her with lightning. I mean, some sort of mind swap?" Percy said.

"I thought that you guys had finally stopped pissing the gods off," Thalia groaned. Just then, they marched out of the woods, and into a field. They were right near the oddest assortment of buildings Ginny had ever seen, all cabin like structures. A little over a dozen buildings were complete, no two remotely alike. Then there were several dozen under construction.

"She seems interested in the construction," Thalia said. "You sure this isn't just a joke Annabeth is pulling?"

"No way," Percy said. "Annabeth never gives up on a good plan, especially as close as we were to finally beating you and the Hunters."

"You were nowhere near beating us!" Thalia exclaimed. Ginny just kept walking, having no idea what they were talking about. Suddenly, a giant black dog raced at them. Before Ginny could even yelp, the black dog tackled Percy. To Ginny's surprise, Thalia didn't seem to be concerned. Percy got up, laughing, and pet the giant dog on the head.

"Hey Mrs. O'Leary," he said, while she rushed over and started sniffing Thalia. When they reached the big house on the other side of the strawberry fields, a centaur ran out to meet them.

"Chiron, we have a bit of a problem," Percy said. Ginny was still surveying her surroundings. When she noticed that there was a dragon up on the hill, she had had enough.

"Will someone tell where what the bloody hell is going on?" she snapped.

"So my dear, do you have any idea how you got here?" Chiron asked her. Ginny happily noticed that he seemed to believe that she wasn't this Annabeth person.

"I was in class, and there was an explosion, and that's the last thing I remember."

"Do you know who your parent is?" asked Percy.

"Um, my parents are Arthur and Molly Weasley."

"But you must be a half-blood, right?" Thalia seemed to be asking Chiron. Chiron looked a little uncertain.

"I'm a pureblood," Ginny stated, assuming they were talking about magical blood. She didn't really care much about blood purity, but the way they said half-blood made it sound like it was some sort of special group.

"We mean demigod," Percy said. "Like the kids of the gods."

"What?"

"The Greek gods are still around. We're their kids, half god, half mortal," Thalia explained. "Demigods."

"Okay, I'm a witch, and this is ridiculous to me!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Witch?" Percy asked. "Like Hecate and Circe?" Ginny got the feeling Percy didn't particularly like those two.

"Yeah, a witch as in a wand waving, potion making, broom riding person," Ginny corrected, not exactly sure who those people were.

"Well Ginny, it's nice to meet you," Chiron said. "And before you ask, yes Percy, you have my permission to leave camp to find a way to get Annabeth back." He turned and went back into the big house.

"Well, I guess then we should introduce ourselves," Thalia said. "I'm Thalia, daughter of Zeus."

"Percy, son of Poseidon," Percy said.

"Okay. So what do we do now?" Ginny asked. Percy and Thalia looked at each other.

"Oracle?" Thalia asked.

"Rachel's going to be surprised," Percy said.

"Okay, Harry, what potion was it that exploded?" Ron asked.

"I don't know," Harry replied, "I'm not sure that a potion would do this though…"

"A what?" Annabeth asked. Harry and Ron looked at each other again.

"I'll explain," Ron assured her. "Harry, you should go to potions. Slughorn will gladly tell you everything that happened."

"Right," Harry said. He put his hand on Annabeth's shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll figure this out." Then he hurried out of the hospital wing.

"Okay, what's up with him?" asked Annabeth.

"Aw gee, why would your boyfriend be worried about you?" asked Ron sarcastically. Annabeth gave him a disapproving look.

"Okay, I'm pretty sure we've been over this before. I might look like someone else, but I'm Annabeth, and I've NEVER seen either of you before in my LIFE." Then she seemed to consider something. "Though your friend does look a bit like Percy."

"Who's Percy?" asked Ron. Annabeth just shook her head.

"Never mind. Please explain."
