Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson

"PERCY WASN'T... was lucky." Athena read.

Anna snorted, drawing attention to herself. "Of course you aren't afraid of ghosts. You've been to the Underworld how many times? 5?"

The only ones surprised were Jason, Piper, Leo, and Rachel. They never heard of someone, who wasn't a child of Hades, that had been down there that many times and lived.

Half the people in camp were dead.

"Nice place." Thals commented with a raised eyebrow. Jason blushed.
Shimmering purple ... those unicorns?

"Unicorns?" Nico sounded disgusted. "I thought Romans were tough?"

The 'Roman' glared at him.

None of ... at Percy.

Nick's lips quirked a tiny bit. They would definitely know about Percy.

A few ... turned invisible.

Annabeth's eyes scrunched in thought. "Graecus? Greek?" She asked Jason who nodded.

Percy wished he could turn invisible too.

Annabeth smirked at him, causing him to roll his eyes. Anna saw and had to look away, clutching the small object even tighter. She dearly wished she could put it on…

After weeks ... him uneasy.

Thalia rolled her eyes. "Kelp-head, attention always made you uneasy."

He shrugged, accepting her words because they were true. He never was quite comfortable with attention.

Athena rolled her eyes.

He stayed ... Percy said.

Anna gave a small smirk. "You're going to say something stupid to lighten the mood, aren't you?"

A light blush appeared on his cheeks. He refused to look at her which made her chuckle lightly.

Thals gave a small smile. "That is something you would do."

"Like…smaller than real gods, but larger than apartment gods?"

Everyone laughed at how right the two girls were. Percy's blush darkened.

Annabeth punched his shoulder lightly with a grin. She would never tell him this but she loved how effective he was at lightening the mood with just a few words. All the while making it seem accidental when she knew it was not. That was the reason so many people thought Percy was not smart, even though he was actually really bright.

She would never tell him this though.

"They're ancestral ... burly frame.

Jason shook his head at the glances thrown his way. "I don't remember him. He's probably new."

He looked ... so agitated."

Nico rolled his eyes. "Only Percy can agitate ghosts just by showing up." Hades grumbled at the true statement. Percy just shrugged.

"They're staring ... isn't Greg."

"You did it again." Thalia smiled. Even though she now knew Jason, her full brother, was alive, she still loved Percy like a younger brother. He was the only one who knew her greatest fear and secret. She trusted him with her life, and that is not something she trusts to just anybody.

"Graecus," Hazel ... from there?"

"Maybe." Poseidon smiled, ignoring the irritated glare Athena through his way. He winked at Percy, who smiled.

"Don't know. ... Frank hesitated.

Grover's eyebrow rose. "I don't think he could figure it out that fast."

"What?" Percy ...—an enemy.

The so-called graecus scowled darkly.

I wouldn't ... ARE HERE!

The "children" laughed while the "adults" looked amused.

For certain ... laurel wreath.

"Wow." The Greeks whispered. Jason smiled smugly.

"Your headquarters?" ... after dinner."

"War games?" Percy asked. Jason nodded.

"It's like capture the flag, just a little different."

Nick had to restrain a snort. The war games were very different to capture the flag.

The thought ... and geeks."

"Hey!" Jason shouted, glaring at the book as though the people in it could hear him. "I was in the Fifth Cohort! What is wrong with it?"

Several kids ... "Yes, Reyna."

Thalia raised an eyebrow. "Hey Jason?" He nodded at her to continue. "Does Reyna have a boyfriend?"

He looked at her warily while the others tried not to laugh at how that sounded. "Um, I don't think so… Why do you ask?"

She shrugged. "She would make a good hunter, that's all."

Jason stiffened at the thought of Reyna becoming a hunter. Piper noticed and scowled at the floor.

He hurried ... million times).

"And you listened?" Annabeth asked in mock disbelief. Percy stuck his tongue out at her. Anna clutched the small object in her hand even tighter as she witnessed first-hand how she and Percy used to be. It hurt. It hurt a lot.

The floor ... or something.

Jason raised an eyebrow. After everything everyone told him about Percy Jackson he assumed he would be a dense goofball with extreme stupidity, loyalty and bravery. He did not expect him to actually be observant and smart on the inside.

In the ... bad side?

The room was filled with laughter again. Percy always could lighten up a room with just a stray thought.

In the ... they would.

The Greeks scowled at the floor. The Latin meanings should not be popping into his head! He was Greek! They weren't going to let the Romans take the one person whom had affected them all.

He almost ... stupid question.

"No, really Perce?" Nick asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Percy blushed and glared.

Reyna set ... her before.

Percy's brow scrunched trying to remember a 'Reyna'. Annabeth too, had the feeling the name was familiar though she was having trouble placing it.

Her hair ... the empire.

Thalia coughed. "Um, no offense, but it sounds like the Roman demigods aren't doing much." Jason glared at his sister. The Romans were the ones who destroyed Kronos' throne! He had to fight a Titan hand-to-hand! How was that not doing much?! Thalia, seeing her brother's glare sighed. "I mean think about it! They have a cozy little camp where they stay for pretty much their entire lives! They're brought there when they are young and trained but they never really leave! They stay in their safe little camp while we Greek demigods go out in the world and fight monsters on a daily basis just to survive! We don't have a safe haven like that! It just seems to me that for all their talk about how Romans are so much better than Greeks, they prefer to stay safe in a protected city where they can raise families without fear and we have to do all the fighting, surviving, protecting and serving that they were meant to do in the first place!"

Jason blinked in shock. When she put it like that it made the Romans seem like cowards compared to the Greeks. The Romans don't even go searching for other demigods themselves, they just rely on Lupa to do it which would be really hard for one person/wolf to handle.

Thalia was right.

She'd spent ... as a wolf.

Anna winced and clenched her fist tighter, the small ring almost cutting into her palm. She hoped that her Percy hadn't changed too much. She loved him as he was; the ring was proof of that. She just wanted her Percy back so that he would keep the promise he made her.

Together Forever.

When she ... mention Annabeth.

Annabeth and Anna both looked hurt, though Anna more so. Why wouldn't he want to mention her?

Percy flushed. He had an inkling on what his book-self was thinking…

It seemed ... something stupid.

Percy's and Annabeth's eyes widened. This was solid proof that they were dating in the future. The kiss Anna had given Percy upon arrival had only meant that something happened to Percy. After all, Annabeth had kissed Percy before when she thought he was going to die, yet they weren't dating. Yet.

Thalia, Nico and Grover had a different reaction though.

"YES!" The three jumped up, fists pumping in celebration as the five year long wait was over! They began to dance around the room yelling "finally" over and over while the others watched them in amusement, well, all except Athena who looked as though she swallowed a lemon. Percy and Annabeth blushed. They weren't that obvious, were they?

Jason, Leo and Piper looked at the three dancers with shock and bemusement. Just how obvious were Percy and Annabeth?

Poseidon was smiling, not in the least bit perturbed at the fact that it was Athena's favorite child his son is dating. Percy was happy with her, which was why he always approved of their friendship even though Athena still resented it.

Sally was smiling widely. Her baby boy was going to date the girl of his dreams! She had known they were perfect for each other ever since she first met Annabeth.

Aphrodite was beaming. Her favorite couple since Helen and Paris were finally together. Yay Percabeth!

She must have kissed me a lot, Percy thought.

The dancing teens finally stopped only to burst out laughing at Percy's thought.

"Tell me about it." Thals grumbled with a small smile on her face. "You couldn't go anywhere without seeing them making out! It was worse than Silena and Beckendorf!"

Percy and Annabeth paled. They were worse than that?!

Anna blushed and glared. "Hey!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and focused on the mostly silent Anna. "We had five years of pent up sexual tension so excuse me if we made out sometimes!"

Percy and Annabeth blushed so deep they looked like the Ares cabin. Everyone else laughed.

He feared ... risk that.

Percy nodded slightly, still red from before. That was exactly what he had been thinking.

Reyna spun ... bag lady.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Percy for once in your life take a complement!" Percy pointedly looked away from her.

Reyna studied ... of monsters."

"No kidding." Grover grumbled. "You attract more monsters than any demigod I've ever come across! I think it's because most want revenge on you in some way or another."

Percy shrugged. That would certainly explain a lot.

Piper's eyebrow hitched. "Why would monsters be after you for revenge?"

Nico laughed. "Because Percy killed most of them!"

The three's eyes widened. Killed most of them?!

"Yeah," Percy ... I smell.

Grover shrugged. "You smell like fish, Annabeth smells like dusty books, Thalia and Jason smell like ozone and Nico smells like death. Personally, I like your smell the most."

Percy grinned at the others smugly which was promptly cut off when Annabeth glared at him.

"Reyna almost ... a polygraph?"

"That's something your dad would say alright!" Apollo laughed, joined by Hermes. Poseidon smiled at his favorite son who smiled back.

Reyna stood. ... her head.

"What?" Thals asked.

Jason looked thoughtful. "I think it was when she brought me there when I was a baby." He shrugged.

"I've only ... Especially now."

Percy glared. "And what's wrong with Neptune?"

Athena rolled her eyes.

"What's wrong with Neptune?" Percy asked.

Percy blushed while the others snickered. At least he will never lose his faith to his father.

"And what ... rid of it.

Anna smiled slightly. He remembered, though subconsciously, how important camp Half-Blood was to him.

He just ... a trident.

"When you came to camp." Annabeth said.

Another displayed a miniature Golden Fleece.

"Saving Thalia's tree."

The third was etched with the design of a maze,

"Battle of the Labyrinth."

and the ... around it.

"The Titan war and those who died." Anna finished as the past demigods never received that bead yet. They all looked down in sadness.
The beads ... Reyna asked.

"How did she know about your sword?" Artemis narrowed her eyes. Contrary to belief she did not hate men. She just never met one who was worthy enough to be liked. That is, until she met Percy Jackson, the young boy who was willing to jump off a cliff to reach his best friend, who was a girl. Ever since, she held a soft spot in her heart for the young hero and would always protect him. She would never tell Apollo though, that would be a nightmare.

Percy checked ... even rarer."

"It's not rare." Nico snorted.

Jason scowled slightly at the floor. Why were the Greeks' weapons better than Romes'. Why did they have unlimited amounts of Celestial Bronze, while Romans had to scrape by with whatever Imperial Gold they have. It wasn't fair.

"Imperial gold?" ... seen Jason."

Jason looked away from the glances thrown his way. This was the first time Jason had been mentioned in his own home. It saddened him slightly.

She turned ... replaced him?"

"Wait!" Anna bolted up from her lounging position. Her eyes were wide and her face was pale. The others from the future weren't much better. "Eight months?! That's how long Percy's been missing! But Jason was awake almost the entire time! It was mentioned that Percy only woke up two months ago! He's been asleep for six months!"

The ones from the present gasped. Percy paled at the thought of sleeping for that long.

"He might ... a colleague.

Jason blushed and Piper glared. He was confused right now. He had history and some feelings for Reyna, but with Piper, he felt so free, so happy, and he definitely had strong feelings for her. He knew that if he was forced to choose, it would be Piper and he knew he would possibly ruin his friendship with Reyna forever. He sighed and grabbed Piper's hand, causing her to blush.

He had chosen.

"Elections only ... five days."

Thalia raised her hand, halting Athena's reading. "I have a feeling Kelp Head is going to make a stupid remark right now."

Percy glared but didn't argue. He had a feeling she was right.

Percy frowned. "You have a feast for tuna?"

"See." Thalia smirked and Percy glared.

"Fortuna," Hazel ... would melt.

"Oh, you mean your Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth asked innocently causing him to stick his tongue out at her. She giggled causing Jason, Piper and Leo to gape in shock. They still couldn't get over how different Annabeth was when she was with Percy.

Unfortunately, Leo decided to open his mouth after being silent for so long.

"So let me get this straight." He pointed at Annabeth who narrowed her eyes. "To get you to stop being all Annzilla on us, we had to stick our tongues out at you?"

Piper and Jason slapped their foreheads. Apparently Leo didn't realize it was Percy that affected Annabeth.

Annabeth raised an eyebrow menacingly. "Annzilla?"

Leo gulped. "N-nothing, nothing at all! I'll shut up now!"

But Reyna ... your past."

Annabeth and Anna stiffened. "What did she mean 'lets you live'?" They asked.

Jason glared. "Octavian." He growled. "He is not someone you want to be friends with. In fact, he doesn't even have friends! He has followers! He is obsessed with power and has been craving the praetor-ship for years! He believes he is better than everyone because he is a descendent of Apollo and can 'see the future' which he in fact does not see at all."

Everyone looked disgusted as he described him. Apollo especially looked horrified to be related to him.

Hera sighed. "Well, we should continue on. I'll read."
