Hazel's POV

Before that flash of light, things were going pretty good. Frank asked me out, (finally!) we convinced the Senate to not murder the Greeks on sight… just one more problem.

Frank and I set out, determined to find our missing friend. Now that a lot of the excitement was gone and done with after the battle, Percy had gotten a little depressed and worried.

"What if they don't care about me any more when they get here? What if they had forgotten me completely? I mean, it's been like nine months." he asked as we plopped down on either side of him. He was staring out across the Little Tiber, fiddling with his pen- which by the way is very effective for killing monsters and probably difficult Romans by the name of Octavian…

I sighed, sympathetically. "Percy, you are by far one of the most loveable guys here. Goodness, you managed to become Praetor in a week! Reyna has even accepted you, which is no small feat."

"You did kill a giant, and drowned a ghost army an-"I cut Frank off.

"What he is trying to say, is that you have been with them for forever, they can't and won't forget you that easily."

He managed a small smile.

"Thanks guys, I really needed that." He paused, and then as he was about to say something else we were swallowed up by a bright light.

On Olympus

My first thought was that Death decided that it was time for me to die, and was taking me back to the underworld. "Deep breaths," I told myself as I came to a sudden halt. I opened my eyes, expecting to see the judges again, but instead I was greeted by a far different sight.

I was in what I think is the Olympians' throne room. Spread out in front of their huge- and very odd- thrones were several heaps of confused looking demigods.

"Can you get off of me please?" a voice asked underneath me.

"Oops, sorry Frank," I replied as I got off, not really paying any attention to him. I was busy taking in the sight of all of the gods-in Greek form- who were looking back at us in either confusion or distaste.

"WHO DARES DISRUPT OUR MEETING?!" Zeus thundered, looking ready to bite someone's head off.

"You mean, you don't recognize us?" a very pretty blonde girl asked him from the other side of the throne room. Off handedly I thought he looked a little bit like the Annabeth Percy had been telling us lots about.

Someone gasped off to my other side.

"Annabeth is that you? How is this possible? You are only twelve right now!" she exclaimed, a shocked look covering her face.

"What is this Athena doesn't know something," Apollo, or who I assumed was Apollo, said highly amused.

"Apollo, this is serious! Children, what year are you from?" We were all to stunned to answer, so she figured it out her self.

"Hmm, lets see, Annabeth, you look about what, 16? 17? Oh, it doesn't matter, so you guys must have traveled about four years into the past"

By now everyone had stood up, some looking around a little wary.

Before any one could respond, there was another bright light, which deposited a stack of books and a note.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Someone go read that note!" Zeus said grumpily. A very beautiful girl stepped up to grab the note. She had choppy brown hair, kaleidoscope looking eyes, and managed to still look stunning.

"A daughter of Venus," I thought, as I watched her walk to the front.

She picked up the note, and in a very clear voice read, "Dear Olympians and future demigods, we-being the fates- decided that in order for the two different camps to understand each other, you shall read these books. They are in the point of view of a very revered and important demigod, who goes by the name of Percy Jackson." There was a stunned pause at this point. She read on, "The first five books are about his main and most important five quests, the last three are about your current situation demigods. There shall be no killing or hurting during the period that these books are read, and time is frozen out side of these few rooms. You are now to introduce yourselves demigods. ~the Fates"

Next she picked up the books. "Um, well, the first book on the stack says, 'Percy Jackson's and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief" does that sound right?" she asked turning to the people standing behind her. One of them, a twin I think, nodded at her.

"Since I am already up here, I guess I will introduce myself first. I am Piper Mclean, daughter of Aphrodite." Piper smiled at her mom, who grinned happily back at her.

"You look so beautiful hunny," She blushed at the compliment. After that others started to come up and introduce them selves.

There was Conner, Travis, Annabeth, Leo-the Sammy look alike- Thalia, Rachel, a centaur named Chiron, Reyna, Frank of course, me, and Jason, Nico thank gods- I think I acted a little dramatic at this point, running up and hugging him, and Clarisse.

"Who wants to read first?" Poseidon asked kindly. He defiantly reminded me of Percy. He had the sea green eyes, raven black hair… Before any one could answer there was a third bright light.

"I swear, if there are one more of these surprises," someone muttered angrily. This one however, left the biggest surprise…
