Hey guys!

I got the most votes for the 7 + Nico go back to school. If anyone has any suggestions of what could happen or any scenarios, don't hesitate to tell me.

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or HOO.

Enjoy!


Annabeth

Well this ain't good.

Why did Chiron call us in here? Is there another great prophecy? No, no no no. If there is, I refuse to help. Nu uh. No way. I have had one to many near death experiences for one lifetime. Oh shit.

I was walking up to the big house with Piper, and Jason was running off to go get the others.

I stepped up the creaky steps, looked back at Piper, then opened the door.

I walked through the door and made my way over to the ping pong table where we have our most serious meetings. I saw Chiron, Coach Hedge and Grover sitting around the table. What is going on?

I made my way over to the table and sat next to Grover. Piper then took a seat next to me.

I think Chiron saw my confused and terrified look so he let out a small chuckle. "Don't worry dear, it is not bad. Well for some people." He muttered that last part underneath his breath. That didn't really reassure me.

We sat in awkward silence for about 30 seconds, then we heard the door to the big house open. A couple seconds later, 6 people came into view. Percy, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Leo and Nico were standing just inside the room.

"Take a seat." Chiron said, gesturing to the ping pong table. Hazel sat next to Piper, then Leo sat next to Hazel. Then Percy sat down across from me, Jason across from Piper, Frank across from Hazel, and Nico across from Grover.

"Thank you all for coming." Chiron started. "I have some news."

Before he could continue, percy spoke up. "If its another prophecy, Im not here."

Chiron laughed at this. "Don't worry. Its not another war."

"Then... Why did you call us?" Nico said.

"Well, I decided to take advantage of the time where the Romans are here and they are under my orders." The Romans seemed to get uncomfortable at this. "So, I have decided, to send you all back to school in New York." The room went silent.

Then, all the guys stood up and shouted 'no' in unison. "Nuh uh. No way. Nope. Not going." Percy said, shaking his head. "He speaks for me to." Jason piped up. "Same here." Frank and Leo said in unison. "How do you think a child of the the Lord of the Dead, would go in a busy high school with annoying jocks and peppy cheerleaders? I think you know the answer to that one." Nico said.

"Actually Nico, it is the law. Kids under the age of 17 have to go to school. No exceptions."

I for one, actually liked the idea of going back to school. I mean, only if I actually learn stuff. "C'mon guys, it won't be that bad." I said. Piper and Hazel copied my action.

"Yes it will." Leo shot back. "Plus, I am nearly 18." He said, focusing back on Chiron.

"Emphasis on nearly. I know all of you are nearly 18 but at the moment you are still 17. It is the law for kids of the age of 17 or younger have to go to school."

Leo was about to speak up again when Hedge bet him to it. "If this is about these cupcakes, then why is Me and Greg here?" "Grover!" Grover shot back. "Yea, whatever." Was Hedge's reply.

"Well, we still need some Satyrs on the look out for more Demigods and and the Demigods already going will need to help the newly found Demigods at killing monsters which are sure to turn up. Also, the Demigods need help sniffing out the monsters and Demigods, so thats where you two come in."

Grover nodded his head simply, obviously not finding it to bad. Hedge on the other hand, didn't seem to happy. "Wait! SO I have to babysit these cupcakes? Are you kidding me? There will be no one to kill!" Hedge shouted.

"Glesson Hedge. These are my orders and you are going to follow them the easy way or the hard way. You choose." Chiron had that face on the said, 'don't you dare disagree with me mister'. Hedge seemed to cower under the intense glare and nodded his head.

"Great." Chiron exclaimed. "You will be leaving at 7:00am tonight for Goode High School."

"Wait. Goode? As in the one in Manhattan?" Percy asked.

"Well, last time I checked there was only one Goode High School in the US." Chiron replied.

"Dammit!" Percy said, banging his fist on the table.

Chiron seemed shocked at his sudden outburst. "Percy! What is so wrong with Goode high school?"

Percy didn't answer. He just kept shaking his head, repeatedly saying, 'no, no, no, no.'

Seeing that Percy wasn't going to answer anytime soon, I spoke up. "Well, we actually found Danny at Goode. But thats not there reason Percy doesn't want to go. He doesn't want to go because he nearly killed a mortal-"

"Perseus Jackson!" Chiron cut me off.

Percy flinched after hearing his full name.

"What is Annabeth talking about?"

Percy slowly looked up to face Chiron. "Well, this one guy, Lyle, hit me in my Achilles spot and I freaked and couldn't control my actions. I vaguely remember having him up against the wall, with my forearm at his throat, shouting things at him like, 'what are you.'"

"That is no excuse to nearly kill an innocent human being." Chiron said sternly.

"He's telling the truth Chiron." I broke in.

He turned ti face me. "Excuse me?"

I cowered a bit under his glare, but I stood my ground. Or sat in my chair? I don't know. What I mean is that I didn't run.

"He couldn't control himself. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Same here." Hedge spoke up.

Chiron still didn't seem happy about the situation, but he dropped the matter anyway and continued speaking. "Well, looks like you have some amends to do. Go get ready. You leave bright and early in the morning."

And with that, he trotted out the door, swishing his tail.

No one moved or spoke. Finally Hazel spoke up, because she hates silence. "Now what?" She asked.

Annabeth sighed. "I guess we're going back to school."


It didn't take us that long to pack, considering that we didn't bring anything with us. The only people that had something to pack was the people who hadn't been to school.

We all decided to meet at the dining pavilion. When I got there, Percy, Jason and Nico were already there. It didn't surprise me since they were already going to Goode before as well.

"Hey Wise Girl?" Percy asked.

"Yea Seaweed Brain?"

"What would've happened if the gods pooped inside of Kronos? Would it have come out with Kronos's poop?"

I stopped. "Huh?" I asked.

"Well, what would've-"

"No I heard you. Its just... Such a Seaweed Brain thing to do. So random." I laughed.

"Ha ha." Percy mocked. "Just answer the question."

Once I had contained my laughter, I answered. "Um... I don't know if they did poo. But if they did, I think I would've came out with Kronos's."

"HA! Told you." Jason yelled.

Percy rolled his eyes then looked back at me. "Are you sure? I mean, wouldn't it come out separately?"

I laughed again. "How did this come up again?"

"Well, me and Jason-"

"No, I don't wanna know actually." I held my hand up.

"My reaction exactly." Nico said, annoyed.

Percy laughed, ignoring Nico's comment. "Oh c'mon Wise Girl." He said slowly walking up to me.

"You're an idiot, you know." I said, wrapping my arms around his neck once he was standing in front of me.

"Only because you keep telling me." He said, wrapping his arms around my waist and leaning down.

Our lips met and I swear I melted right there. I know that sounds cliche, but I'm not lying. My hands tangled themselves in his hair, pulling him closer, if that was even possible. Our lips moved in sync as the kiss deepened.

"PDA!" I heard Leo shouted as he walked up to the dining pavilion. Followed by Piper, Hazel and Frank. Percy and I broke away laughing. The rest of the group broke out into full out belly laughs as well.

Once we had all calmed down, I checked my watch. 4:42. Shit!

"Guys, c'mon. We have 8 minutes till we are supposed to meet Argus at the bottom of Half-Blood Hill. Lets go!"

Everyone picked up their gear an made their way down the hill.

We saw Argus already seated in the van. We all chucked our bags on the roof racks on top of the van and jumped in. Leo was up front next to Argus. (Which, Argus wasn't to happy about.) Piper, Hazel and I were in the next row, then it was Nico, Percy and Jason. Then Frank was lying in the very back sleeping because the night before the Stolls had stuffed an entire ant farm in Franks PJ's and bed. Therefore resulting in lack of sleep. The guys weren't helping because they kept tickling his nose, making him slap himself in the face.

Once the boys had gotten sick of torturing Frank, and finally let him sleep, we all started talking about Goode. The ones who hadn't been there before were asking questions about it and the ones who have were complaining about it.

"I bet that their moto is 'Torturing Kids Since 1954'." Percy said. We all laughed.

"No. It's 'Where we put the Goode, in Goode'." I retorted.

Percy pondered that for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever."

I laughed, then remembered what he had said. "How old is Goode actually?" I asked.

He shrugged his shoulders again. "Dunno. But of course Miss Wise Girl wants to learn." He teased.

I hit his arm playfully. "Yea yea."

"Actually, I wouldn't mind knowing that myself. I'll looked it up." Jason said.

We all sat in a comfortable silence for a bit until Jason spoke up. "No. Way." He said, staring at the screen of his phone. (I don't know if I have already put this in, but Leo created a Demigod friendly phone.)

We all looked at him. "What?" Nico asked curiously.

He didn't answer, he was still staring at his phone screen. Nico, whose curiosity had obviously risen, snatched the phone out of his hand and started to read it out.

"Its a news article from 1967. Oh my gods. Listen to this. Goode high school closes down after freak accident involving a mass kidnapping of over 280 students. The victims have not been found in over 4 months and are presumed dead. The killer/kidnapper/s was unknown. But witnesses state that the killer/kidnappers/s were not human. They described one killer/kidnapper of being a lion with a goat's head rising from its back. Investigators believe that the witnesses were delusional and put them into a mental health institute."

It was silent. Everyone was in shock. "The Chimera." I breathed.

"The mass kidnapping was caused by monsters." Piper said.

"Wait, heres another article from 1997." Nico interjected. "Goode High School reopens after its devastating incident. The students were never found and were presumed dead. Surprisingly, new students are enrolling into the school. But some believe that the Goode high school principle, Mr Lockfreit knows more about the incident back in 1967. But he does not let on. Investigations have just come to a stop 2 days ago. It seems that whatever attacked the school is getting away with it."

"That was the principle before the Manticore." Percy put in. "Rumour has it that Mr Lockfreit is coming back."

It was silent once more. Then Hazel spoke up. "Well it was obviously monsters that attacked the school. And I think we are all thinking that those 280 students were Demigods. Even though I have no idea how so may were found in the one place. But do you think that Mr Lockfreit knows anything?"

"I don't know. But we are going to find out." I stated.

Everyone nodded in agreement. "WOOHOO! Looks like we have a mystery to solve!" Leo shouted.

We then heard Frank grumble from the back. "Wha...?"


Once we had explained everything to Frank, we found ourselves parked in the parking lot of Goode High School. Everyone just sat there staring at it. The ones who had been here before were trying to see if they could see anyone they knew, and when they came out empty handed, they sighed with relief. And the ones who hadn't been here before were taking in the big stone building.

"Why are we here again?" Leo asked.

I gave him a look that said 'really? Chiron explained this to us.'

He obviously caught the message because he tried to explain. "No, I mean, its nearly mid day. Why are we going to school in the middle of the day?"

I thought about it for a moment, then replied. "I actually don't know."

"Oh my gods!" Percy stated. "Wise Girl doesn't know something. I need to call a reporter. This is news worthy stuff." He said, over excitedly.

I gave him my famous death glare and he shrunk back into his seat. The rest of the group started to laugh.

"Argus. What are we doing here? Shouldn't we be going to where we are staying?" I asked. He didn't do anything for a moment, then snatched up Leo's phone, (much to Leo's protests), and scrolled down Leo's contacts before stopping and clicking on one, and handing it to Percy. Before Percy could ask who it was, I heard a muffled 'hello' come from the other end of the line. Percy's face brightened up. "Hey mum!" He paused for a moment while I'm guessing Sally was speaking. "I don't know. Argus just called you and handed me the phone." More silence. "Really? Awesome! But we don't have enough room." More silence. "Oh sweet. Boys call the other apartment." Silence. "No no. Its... Um..." Muffled speech. "Phew. Ok, well, see you later. Bye!" Once again, silence. "Love you too." Then he brought the phone away from his ear and ended the call and handed the phone back to Leo. Percy just leaned back in his seat, looking out the window like he expected the car to start moving. When nothing happened, he looked to Argus and noticed all the expectant looks the rest of the seven and I had on out faces.

"What?" He asked, confused.

I rolled my eyes. "Who was that?" I asked.

"Oh! Yea, that was my mum."

Really Percy? Really? Thats all you say?

"And...?" Jason pressed.

"Huh? Ohhhh. Well, she said we are staying at my house."

"Wait, but the place isn't big enough." Nico stated.

"I know. My mum rented out the apartment beside ours. Boys get that one, and girls are with my mum and Paul."

"Sweet!" Leo exclaimed.

"Cool" Frank stated.

"Im good with that." Jason said.

"Im in!" Piper shouted.

"Awesome! I love your mum." I said.

"KK!" Nico said in a high pitched girly voice.

We all stared at him in shock. Well, apart from Leo, who was in a full out belly laugh.

"Don't ask. Dare from Valdez." Nico said, shooting a glare towards the still laughing Leo.

Once we had snapped out of our shock and finished the laughing that soon came after, we told Argus the address of Sally and Paul Blois's apartment and we were on our way.


"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS VALDEZ!" Nico shouted as he chased Leo up the stairs of the apartment building, trying to put out the flames that Leo had put on his aviator jacket.

"I've never seen Leo run so fast." Piper laughed.

"Man, Nico's literally flying!" Hazel stated.

We kept laughing while we headed up the stairs to the 8th floor. (I don't know if they said wait floor he lived on in the books, but I;m just guessing.)

"Why does it have to be today that the elevator is broken?" I asked, out of breath a bit from climbing the stairs. We just got to the landing of the 6th floor. Ughhhhh.

"Finally!" Frank stated, getting down onto his knees to kiss the floor when we reached the landing of the 8th floor.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Hazel warned.

Too late. "Puh... Bleh. Ugh." Frank said, wiping his tongue with his hands. "I think your right."

Hazel rolled his eyes then kissed Frank on the cheek, causing him to blush.

"So Perce?" Jason starts. "What apartment?"

Percy freezes, obviously trying to remember. "Um... I, don't know."

"Wait, what?" I ask, stunned.

"I've never been to good at remembering it." He argued.

"But you were here, like, literally two days ago!" I shot back.

"Don't blame me! I usually just call my mum!"

"Ugh! Well then what are you waiting for!?" I ask.

He shoots a glare at me, but I can see it in his eyes that he is trying not to smile. I can't help the small smile peeking at my lips. Percy pulls out his phone, scrolls down his contacts, then clicks on the one that said Mummy, and held the phone up to his ear. He waited for about 7 seconds, still no answer. He looked at the phone quizzically, then tried again. No answer. "Vlacas! Her phone is probably flat."

"Well... What do we do now?" Piper asked.

"Umm, go round all the apartments and knock on the door?" Jason asked.

"Well I think thats all we can do." Hazel said.

"No no no no no no. No people. I hate people!" Nico said, backing up a bit so he had to put his left foot on the stair below.

We all laugh at his antics. "C'mon death boy. You need to learn some people skills." Leo said, dragging him along the isle.


After many failures and Leo scaring the Hades out of random people by setting himself on fire when they were rude to him, we finally came across Sally and Paul's apartment.

"Percy!" Sally exclaimed.

"Hey mum." Percy said, hugging his mum. Once they pulled away, Sally noticed the rest of us.

"Annabeth! Nico! How lovely to see you!" She said, giving both me and Nico a hug. (Nico didn't seem to happy about the human contact, but obliged. I mean, who can say no to Sally?)

She then gestured the rest of the seven. "Percy, who are the rest of the seven?" She asked.

"Oh! Right! This is Frank, Hazel, Leo, Jason and Piper." Percy said, pointing to each person when he said their name.

"Hu Mrs... Jackson or Blofis?" Hazel asked.

Sally laughed. "Blofis my dear. But call me Sally."

Hazel smiled.

"Well don't just stand there, come in, come in." Sally said, pushing us all inside.

Once we were all in, she made us all a hot chocolate and offered for us to sit on the couch. Nico sat in the arm chair in the corner, (it was in the shadows so we all kept a close eye on him to make sure he didn't shadow travel), Jason, Piper, Percy and I were on the big, 3 seater couch, (since it was quite small, I was basically sitting on Percy's lap.) Frank was on the other armchair with Hazel sitting on his lap. Then Leo was lying on the floor, with his head face first on the carpet.

"You all goods Leo?" Piper asked, laughing slightly.

He shot is head up like a cannon. "Huh? Oh yea, I just like the smell."

We all glanced at Leo, then burst out laughing. Then we heard someone coming down the stairs.

"Sally, Honey. Are they here yet?" The voice of Paul asked.

"Yes dear! They are all in the living room. Come say hello!"

A few seconds later, the figure of Paul Blofis was in sight. "Wow, theres a lot of them." He said under his breath.

I laughed. "Yea, this is the lot Paul." I said. He looked shocked that someone had heard him, then smiled. "Annabeth! Its lovely to see you!"

"Good to see you to Paul!" I got up from Percy's lap, even though he was pouting, and made my way over to where Paul was standing. "They're not all staying here are they?" HE asked, just so I could hear.

I laughed again. "No, Sally said she got the apartment next to this." He looked relieved, then confused.

"Sally hasn't told you any of this has she?" I asked laughing.

"Nope." He said.

I took a sip of my hot chocolate, then looked back to where everyone was sitting to see Jason and Percy arm wrestling (Percy was winning), Frank commentating, Leo still sniffing the carpet, and Hazel was trying to get Nico to drink his hit chocolate. I sighed then looked in the direction of the kitchen. "Sally! When can the guys leave to next door!?" I asked. Paul laughed, watching all the other demigods.

"Oh! Now if you like! Its pretty cool if I say so myself!" She said, coming out of the kitchen with a key in her hand.

She handed me the key, and I took it, saying thank you. I then turned to the boys, and held up the key. "First one to get the key and to the apartment next door, gets first pick of the rooms!" Immediately =, all the boys heads shot up, then they bounded for the key. Apart from Nico who headed straight for the door. Leo was the one to grab the key.

"Suckers!" He said as he ran out the door, Jason, Percy and Frank hot on his heels.

I rolled my eyes, then went to sit back down with the girls.


Hope you liked.

Well, I have to get going so I won't hold you up with a massive A/N.

So, till next time fellow fanfictioners...

Laters!
