Annabeth squealed. 'We're here! We're in Athens and we do not have to fight evil earth mothers!' She chirped. Percy laughed. He knew Annabeth was her dad eternally grateful that he gave her and Percy tickets to Athens. He had bought extra tickets for Sally and Estelle too - to supervise (hey, they are two seventeen year olds in a strange city, who sends two seventeen year olds alone into a strange city... oh right).

Annabeth was exceptionally happy. She could finally go see the parthenon and the agora in peace. As soon as they dropped off all of their stuff at the hotel, she grabbed a small bag out of her carry-on luggage. 'I don't want to waste time. Let's go!' She hopped up and down like a child on Christmas morning. Sally shook her head.

'Annabeth, Estelle needs to sleep. Also, it is seven 'O clock in the evening - places are going to close soon.' Annabeth gave sally her biggest puppydog eyes. 'We could see the agora really quick. It is close nearby and I'll pay!' Sally sighed.

'Alright, alright. But I want you to be back at quarter past eight.' Percy put a key in his pocket.

'I'll come along. You never know if there are monsters hanging around.'

Hand in hand, Annabeth and Percy walked to the ancient agora of Athens. 'It is mostly old foundations, but the special thing about the agora of Athens is the temple of Hephaestus that is the most well-preserved temple in Greece,' she told Percy. He nodded.

'I read up on things too, Annabeth.'

'Oh.' She tightened her grip on his hand.

They made it to the Agora, only to find out that everyone under eighteen got to go in for free. Annabeth put her wallet back in her bag. 'That was easier than expected.'

'Did you just fill a small handbag at home so you could immediately run to the ancient stuff?' Percy asked. She shrugged.

'Maybe.'

For the first fifteen minutes, things were calm. So calm, even, that they got to see everything on the agora. But after that, things got pretty boring pretty quick. 'Do you really want to make a drawing of the Hephaestus temple?' Percy asked. Annabeth nodded.

'Yes. It'll help with my studies.' He sighed.

'Alright.' They climbed the small hill with the temple on top. The only other people there were an older woman and a man who was wearing the 'tourist dad' costume. Annabeth sat down on a ledge to make a sketch, while Percy decided to look at the scenary.

Bad call. If he hadn't done that, he might not have noticed the magic, which would have resulted in a relaxing first night. But no, the wheel of fortune could not allow that. About ten minutes into looking down at the agora and thinking deep thoughts, Percy noticed something on the high hill the Parthenon was located on (you could see it from the Agora). It looked like there was white marble and stone flying around. Suddenly, the iron fence that had been around the Agora - so people would not get inside without paying for a ticket - fell down. Percy gasped. A flight of stairs begun to grow, down from the hill to the agora. 'Annabeth!' Percy yelled.

She looked up. 'Percy, what...' she followed his gaze and saw what he was seeing. 'Oh, no, no, no, that's not good.' The tourist dad and the elderly woman dropped to the floor. Percy gasped again and ran over to tourist dad. He laid his head on the man's chest. 'He still breathes and his heart still beats,' he told Annabeth. She sighed of relief.

'Well, than it is godly magic and the mist acting up. But... what is...' now not only the parthenon and the hill it was located on was rebuilding itself, but the same thing happened to the ancient agora. The foundations grew until they were buildings again. The stone had gotten yellow over the years, but it now cleaned and painted itself at such high speed that neither Annabeth nor Percy knew what to say about it.

In three minutes time, the acropolis and the agora had rebuild itself to look exactly how it had looked in ancient Athens. Annabeth slowly shook her head. 'Impossible,' she muttered. She fished her phone out of her bag and punched in a number. 'Hello, Sally?'

'Annabeth! What's going on? Where you attacked?'

'No... not yet. Do you see anything weird?'

'No, but should I?'

'Well, the entire Acropolis and Agora... just...' Annabeth shook her head.

'We'll get back when we have taken a good look at this.' She hung up the phone and turned to Percy. 'Let's go. It started at the Acropolis, so that's probably where the causer of this mess is.'

The trip to the Acropolis cost them less time than Annabeth had expected, mostly because of the staircase that had not been there before. As soon as they were higher up on the mountain, she looked around. 'I see nothing. Do you feel anything!?' She asked. Percy shrugged. 'It feels really pure on here, but I do not feel monsters or powerful gods,' he told her. Annabeth looked up. They were standing next to a gate that stood before the entrace to the parthenon. 'The Parthenon is on the highest point of the hill. It could be dangerous to stand next to it, because the Athena Partenos is still right there, but we might be able to see who is responsible for this.' She waved around. Percy nodded.

'You know I'll follow you.'

The way to the mightiest temple of Athens, if not of all Greece, felt tediously long, but they made it. On top of the hill stood two temples - one the temple of Athena, and the other a smaller temple of Nike. Annabeth pointed at it. 'Do you see the statues of those girls? Apparently, when the Persians attacked Athens, they threw them into a well to preserve them. Modern archeologists found them back.' Percy wasn't really listening.

'Uh-uh. We need to make sure we are not struck by lightening up here.' Annabeth rolled her eyes.

'Yes, of course.' They walked to the other side of the Parthenon. 'It's huge, isn't it?' She muttered, while they made their way around it. Percy nodded. 'It really is. You can basically feel the power radiating from it.' Annabeth swallowed.

'Let's get this over with.'

She looked out over the other side of the hill. 'Alright, so both theatres have also been resurrected,' she remarked. She squinted her eyes. 'Do you see someone... down there?' She asked, while pointing at a part right between the two theatres. Percy tilted his head. 'Yes. Looks like a satyr.' He raised his eyebrows. 'Looks like Grover!' Annabeth's' mouth fell open.

'Yes, you're right.' She grabbed Percy's hand. 'Let's go ask what's going on.'

The way down to the theatres was luckily less tedious and long. They saw Grover still standing in the same place as they had seen him from the top of the Acropolis. A forest nymph was standing next to him - Grover was ranting to her. 'Hey, that can't be Juniper, right?' Percy asked. Annabeth shrugged.

'It's impossible, but this is Greek Mythology, so normal rules do not apply.' Percy shrugged as well.

'Grover! What's going on?' Percy yelled. Grover jumped up and grabbed the hand of the nymph, who slowly shook her head. 'It is Juniper,' Percy whispered to Annabeth. 'I don't understand how.'

'Me neither. Grove! What's going on? Do you know why the Acropolis decided to rebuild itself?' She yelled. Grover just shook his head. It looked like he was crying. Percy ran over to him. 'Hello.'

Annabeth quickly joined the crew. Grover opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Juniper patted him on the back. She turned to Percy and Annabeth. 'We had the simple mission to check on the nature in Athens. It... didn't go as planned.' She held her hand up. Percy's eyes grew wide.

'He... raised the entire Akropolis, plus theatres and the Agora?' He asked, unbelieving.

'It was an accident!' Grover yelped. 'Please, they'll get angry!' Percy put an arm around his shoulder.

'Of course this was an accident. But who'll get angry? The council of cloven-hooved elders?' Juniper bit her lip.

'We wished it was just them. But probably Artemis and Dionysus, maybe Demeter.' Grover looked like he got smacked every time she said a name. 'Pan, and now Grover, might rule the wilderness, but they still control the forests - just like they did in the old days. Together with Pan, I mean.' Juniper continued. Percy shrugged.

'Then we need to fix it. I mean, if you managed to let the Akropolis grow out of the earth you should be able to reverse that too, right?' Grover nodded.

'Yeah, maybe.'

He closed his eyes and just stood there for a moment. Grover tried to connect with the earth, he tried to think of a broken acropolis and agora - but nothing happened. He looked at the floor. 'I guess I should just confess. Maybe that than at least the mortals won't realise what's going on,' he muttered, sadly Annabeth shook her head.

'There must be a way to fix it without provoking Olympian gods. Maybe if we try using magic from the top of the acropolis? I mean, they build the temple there because it was closest to Olympus. Maybe the magic is stronger on there?' She suggested. Grover shrugged and stared at the ground. Juniper nodded. 'We can try.'

'Juniper, how did you even get here? Aren't you tied to that one bush in Camp Half-blood?' Percy asked on their way up the hill. Juniper nodded. 'I am, but I am also partially tied to Grover - because he is the lord of the wild and all. That way I can basically be where he is, or at Camp Half-blood.'

'Sounds like the rules of nature are also difficult.' She chuckled.

'Absolutely, and you haven't even heard of sharing the forest or any further power dynamics!'

They reached the top of the mountain and Grover was still a big ball of nerves. He closed his eyes again. 'Nope. Doesn't work,' he muttered. Tears welled up in his eyes. 'I don't know what to...' at that moment, a piercing sound echoed over the acropolis and the agora.

'Well, something happened,' Percy remarked. And it did. Entire walls fell to the floor and disappeared. The theatres shrinked back to their current sizes again. The agora turned from a majestic meeting place back to an archeological site. The ancient buildings turned back to normal.

Juniper clapped in her hands. 'Well, you must have done something, beca...'

'He didn't,' a loud, female voice said. 'I turned it all back to normal.' Annabeth groaned, but they all turned around.

'Hello, mom. Let me guess, you have already told all of Grovers' superiors about this?' Annabeth sighed. Athena nodded.

'I did as soon as I felt a disturbance at my most sacred place, daughter.' She turned to Grover.

'Honestly, I did not expect any less from the new Pan. You'll hear more when Artemis and Dionysus have made their report - which could take ages, knowing them, but that doesn't matter. Oh, and forest nymph? Watch out with him.' The goddess disappeared in a pillar of fire.

Juniper clutched Grovers' arm. 'You're not like Pan in that regard,' she whispered. Grover nudged her side. Annabeth sighed deeply. 'Let's just go back to the hotel and get some dinner. Grover, Juniper, I am extending the invitation to you.'

Later, Estelle had been put to bed, Sally had the babyphone with her, and they were all sitting behind a mountain of food. Annabeth was telling Sally what had happened - the rest mostly focused on eating. Halfway through the meal, a letter dropped next to Grovers' plate, with the logo of Hermes' mail service on top. He shivered. 'Oh no.' Juniper picked up the envelope and tore it open. She and Grover read the letter together. While they were reading, their expression changed from distress to regular calm. When they were done, Juniper threw the letter onto the table.

'They find it funny,' Grover told them. 'Funny!'

'Apparently it is a common mistake among new gods. I wonder why Athena did not know it, then,' Juniper mused. Percy shrugged.

'Well, at least we're save for another five seconds, right?' He said, before taking another bite of burger. Annabeth picked up the letter.

To Grover Underwood, lord of the wild,

Athena told us that you raised a bunch of old ruins. We could honestly care less, but we have to make sure she thinks we did something about it. So please act like you were punished or something around her, alright? Also, don't worry about it - raising old buildings is a typical rookie mistake. Also, Athena was so annoyed that is was funny again.

Best Regards, Artemis and Dionysus

Ps. we were honestly just forced to write this letter please don't take notice of the fact that we order pizza's more formally.

Annabeth took a sip of orange juice. And people wonder why the woods are such a mess, she thought.
