America's pov
Wow, this castle is totally kick ass! I thought as we got into the boats that the big, hairy dude had directed us to. I was once again with Iggy, Kayla, and Gil. Wait, my American senses are tingling. There are more Americans around here. I look over at Fandom and she nods, having felt it too. God, it's great having another American around. I looked over at the boat next to us and a blonde girl fainted. That's them! I gesture for Kayla to look over and her eyes widen. This is usually a sign that she recognizes someone. "Kayla, do you know them?"
She nods still staring at them, eyes wide. Oh, God! She's about to have a fangirl attack! I look over at Iggy for help.
"Shhh. Calm down, Kayla. We will meet them inside," Iggy said in a smooth voice.
"Come on Kay, it's not like it's someone that important," I said, just so I could say I helped.
"Ja, they can't be awesomer zan ze awesome me." Still, she said nothing. Gil reached over and squeezed her hand. Immediately, she looked up and said "I'm more awesome than both of you".
"And she's back. Just in time too," Iggy said, relieved. We walked into the castle and there was an old lady in green clothes. We met up with the other guys, and the lady started talking.
"Hello, first years and exchange students! I am Professor McGonagall. Soon, you will be sorted into four houses. They are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. First years will be sorted in just a moment, but all foreign exchange students will be sorted just in time for dessert."
We had to wait in that area for a while. The other Americans were in a cluster on the other side of the room. Finally, we heard a roar of cheers, and an old man came out of the Great Hall. I think this is the guy Iggy was talking about. Mumblydoor, I think his name was. No, hold on. Dumbledore. Yeah, that's it.
"Hello, Nations and demigods!" At the drop of the word 'demigods', Kayla's head shot up from the book that she had pulled out of nowhere. That girl always has one on her. The same blond chick that had passed out raised her hand and asked,
"Sir, what do you mean 'Nations'?"
"Good question, Miss Chase. I think I will let them explain," Dumbledore said. He gestured to us. We all looked at Kayla, who was about to explode from trying to contain her fangirl attack, and I blurted out,
"Um…. Hey, well, before we do that, she has this thing that we will explain soon but she needs to get it out of her system or she'll cry. So try not to be too weirded out or anything, okay? Good! Fandom…..."
"OMG!"
And so it begins.
Percy's pov
"OMG!"
What's going on? The girl ran up to me screaming. This was pretty scary, considering she was at least as tall as I was at the moment, because Chiron had had Dumbledore give us some sort of anti-age potion.
"Omg you're Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, two-time hero of Olympus omg, you and Annabeth are my, like, otp omg, Piper and Jason I love you too omg, and Hazel and Frank you're so cute together omg, and Nico I love how you're so emo and sad but you do have love in you and omg, holy shit! Your Leo Freaking Valdez light your hand on fire! PLEEEEAAASSSSEE!" Leo smiled and did as he was told, winking at the girl. I'm so confused! How does she know us?
"Here, little lady, as you wish," Leo said. Then the girl reached out and touched the fire! Leo pulled back, afraid that he hurt her, but her hand was fine.
"3,2…" The girl laughed as the albino ran over to her. "1," she giggled again, and then she fainted into his arms. Two minutes later, she was back on her feet.
"Okay! Well, I'm sorry about that. I'm Fandom, but call me by my human name, which would be Kayla. I am the immortal personification of the Fandom Universe. This is America, aka Alfred; England aka Arthur; Prussia aka Gilbert; Germany aka Ludwig; France aka Francis; Spain aka Antonio; and the Italy twins aka Lovino & Feliciano." Fandom gestured to each boy in turn. This was really confusing me. Thank the gods Annabeth was able to absorb all the information. She stepped forward.
"So you guys are immortal personifications of... countries, plus one alternate universe?" The blonde one with the weird cow lick thing (America/Alfred?) stepped forward.
"Yep! I'm the HERO!" The other Nations laughed.
Well I might as well introduce us. "We are sons and daughters of the Greek and Roman gods."
The Italy twins looked excited. At least, the redhead did. The brunette just looked constipated. I continued. "I'm Percy, son of Poseidon; Annabeth, daughter of Athena; Piper, daughter of Aphrodite; Jason, son of Jupiter; Nico, son of Hades; Hazel, daughter of Pluto; Frank, son of Mars; and Leo, son of Hephaestus." Each of my friends waved in turn. We mingled with them, talking, sharing war stories, and so on. Then i realized that this was REAL HISTORY and I was not only paying attention, but actually enjoying it. LEO was paying attention, of all people. Wow, I could get used to these people. Their kinda fun.
"So, Annabeth," Kayla asked, "Why did you pass out before?" .Annabeth looked embarrassed
"Um…. Well…. Actually I had a fangirl attack over the castle's architecture." Everyone laughed, and Annabeth blushed.
Then Professor Dumbledore came out of the Great Hall again. "It is time to be sorted. To help us to keep better track of you, you will only be put into two of the four houses. Come now, it is time."
