Silena POV

This is bad. This is really bad! I thought to myself. You see my mom isn't exactly the most forgiving person if you get her mad, and I was afraid that that was exactly what we were about to do. As we walked up to my mom's house on Olympus, I could feel the air around us becoming sweet like the smell of perfume. It was so amazing I almost changed my mind about seeing her… almost.

"Come on Silena, it's just your mom. Besides don't you want to be yourself again?" Annabeth asked. She had a point.

"I don't know. My mom can get really mad when people just barge into her house without being summoned and I really don't feel like getting blown up today."

"Please, Silena! Do it for Beckendorf. Think of how happy you'll be at the fireworks when you're sitting next to him."

"Well, Ok… I guess it wouldn't hurt to just stop by and ask"

Annabeth POV

It took a while but eventually Silena agreed to come with me. To tell you the truth I was a little nervous. I mean come on you would be too if you were about to talk to the love goddess. If you say one wrong thing she could make your love life miserable, and I really couldn't deal with that. Anyway as we opened the doors we found one of the most beautiful rooms we've ever seen! It had silvery walls with pink trimming. The floors looked like they were made of gold! There were tall windows almost anywhere you looked with the pink drapes held back. Usually I don't like pink, but being in this room it was suddenly my favorite color. Then there in the middle of the room was a grand, pink throne, and sitting in it was the Goddess Aphrodite.

"Why hello Silena and Annabeth. What brings you to my castle?" The goddess herself said.

I was nervous and I suddenly forgot what I was going to say, when Silena spoke up.

"Umm well mother as you can see we're not exactly ourselves" she said while twirling around to show her mother that she was in my body.

"Yes, I know my dear isn't it wonderful!" Aphrodite said as though she didn't detect a problem.

With a confused look on her face Silena replied "No, mother it isn't fine!" I couldn't believe what Silena was saying but she just continued on. "Why did you do this to us?"

"Well, you see my dear a few days ago a mysterious person came and visited me. They said that my daughter needed my help so of course I wanted to help right away, but I didn't exactly trust the person so I asked them who they were. She said that she was Polyphonte. I remembered that long ago I had cursed Polyphonte to fall in love with a bear, and I felt bad about that so I decided that I would do what she asked and go help my daughter."

"Wait" I said suddenly piecing it all together. "You said that you cursed Polyphonte long ago?"

She nodded and I face palmed myself. "Of course, Polyphonte told you about Silena and when you heard that Silena wanted to be more like me and you probably heard my thoughts about how I wanted to be more like Silena you switched us. Polyphonte obviously is still mad at you and trying to get revenge, but I don't understand how switching us would help." After I said this Aphrodite looked like she was going to explode.

"WHAT!" she screamed and the whole building shook. I guessed that if she got any madder Silena and I would probably disintegrate. As I looked around I noticed that there was an empty bird cage in the back of the room.

"Mom, wait!" Silena cried. "Where's your dove?"

"What do you mean where's my dove it's in its cage like it always is" just then Aphrodite turned around and saw that her dove was gone.

"Oh no, this isn't good." Silena said quietly "If your dove is gone then…"

"Yes my dear I shall fade, become no more, vanish." Aphrodite said with anger and sadness in her voice. "Come now girls. You will have to go find Polyphonte and my dove, and bring my dove back to me. I shall change you back into your normal selves." She began to whisper something in Greek that I couldn't quite catch. When she looked up she smiled a tiny smile. "Well you girls will do great I'm sure, but you must bring me back my dove before the Summer Solstice or I shall be no more. Goodbye Silena I love you." She said as she hugged… me.

"Umm I'm Annabeth."

"Oh no, curse Polyphonte. Before she left she told me that I had to swear on the River Styx that I would not change you guys back until your problem is solved. That means that I can not change you back until Silena becomes a better fighter and until Annabeth learns how to make more friends and be a little softer. I'm sorry girls, but you will have to do this as each other." She said "I shall send you back to camp where you will tell Chiron that I said for you two to get a quest. Go to the Oracle and find what has been taken from me." And with a wave of her hand she sent us back to Camp half-blood.

Silena POV

"Well that went well don't you think" I said sarcastically

"Come on let's go to the Oracle and get our quest. We only have 5 days until the Summer Solstice." Annabeth said and she was right.

"Alright come on."

"Why hello girls" Chiron said "Why are you in such a hurry?"

We told him about our problem and about how Polyphonte had stolen Aphrodite's Dove, and how Aphrodite wanted us to go on a quest to find it.

"I see" he said in that scary calm voice of his. "Well there's no time to waste then, you two must consult the oracle."

It was scary seeing the oracle. I had never been up in the attic before, but I had heard about campers that go insane after hearing their prophecies. Annabeth and I stood there for a while and eventually the oracle spoke.

"Four Campers, Boys and Girls

Shall have to find the forbidden pearls

Ask advice of the God from the ground

To leave or stay, you shall be bound

One shall make a wish that could set things right

But in the end it will come down to a fight."

For a while neither Annabeth nor I could say anything. Then Annabeth said "Come on, let's go tell the campers"

As we were walking away the oracle slide forward a little. It probably was just because of the wind that was coming in from the window, but Annabeth and I ran out of there as fast as we could. Once we got to the pavilion and told everyone the prophecy Chrion told us to each chose someone to accompany us.

"Charlie will you come with us?" I heard Annabeth say and I realized that we hadn't told the campers that we weren't in our own bodies. I was glad that Annabeth had chosen Charlie for me so I knew that I had to pick Percy for her.

"Do you wanna come with us Seaweed Brain?" I asked him remembering that Annabeth called him that.

"Wouldn't miss it" he said and I could tell that he was glad that I/Annabeth had chosen him.

As we went to our own cabins to pack I realized that this might be the last time I saw the camp. No I thought to myself. You will do this. For Charlie and for your mother. As I finished packing I ran off to the Aphrodite cabin. Where I found Annabeth… lying on the ground crying
