Yes, I have derailed so much I might crash and burn but I will...not burn! Human, er, Half-blood shield! *uses Leo as shield* Hehe fire...Underworld. *Leo runs away screaming*...aww. Anyways this IS fanfiction so I'm allow to change the story quite a bit, even if it doesn't make since but no more spoilers anyways, and I'm good with making and not making since. This is the one scene I always wanted to happen, the judging of Annabeth, Percy, and Grover before they were huge heroes, even if it sounds lame. Anyways sorry for being way...way late I'll TRY to make more of a limit like 1-3 days, and if you don't like the story, that's ok and if you do, YAY!

Percy's POV

They decided to take us to the to the Judgment Pavilion so they would decide where we would go. I'm not complaining but it was a dumb idea, they could just throw us out and be done with that, but if someone could sneak past the guards or manipulate something -maybe other than making Cerberus freak out- maybe just maybe we could leave untouched. Otherwise, the only thing we could hope for was well...not...death. The only way to avoid that would be The Fields of Asphodel. Funny how they skipped the whole line and went in the front.

Baxie sighed and said "Well if your going to do it, do it right. Go in alphabetical order."

"But then you go sooner." I said.

"...And you go last." She answered.

"Yay." I said sarcastically.

The judges were all looking at Annabeth, searching her soul for the things she did wrong and right, the good and bad. Not good.

"She ran away and caused panic to her father." The one on the left said.

"It was for a good cause, she kept her family safe from monsters and her mother was not kind hearted to her." The one on the right said.

"But when she got to the camp all she wanted was to wait for the half-blood who would grant her as company on his quest." The one in the middle said.

"And she works well with them, and helps to protect them." The one on the right said.

They kept arguing, going back and forth about how she didn't act in this situation or was too quick to act in another, such as the Cerberus commotion that got us here.

After a while they decided she didn't need punishment, nor a reward. The Fields Of Asphodel. Then Annabeth disappeared.

Next was Baxie.

"She had lied to her friends about many things." The one on the right said.

"It is not lying unless you already know the truth." The one in the middle said.

"Yes, but her past has been kept, secrets that are meant to be told." The one on the left said.

This confused me, I though she told me her whole life story which was just about 12 years, not exactly, but she might not see 12.

"True, and she lacks the skills she has been given, if more effort would be put into finding out how to use them, then she and her friends could be almost invincible." The one on the right said.

They continued saying negative things, only a couple of positive things, unfortunately not enough because it got to the point were she would got a one way -hopefully not so one-way- ticket to Hades...in the Fields Of Punishment. (I know what your thinking: "WHAT?!" Well...I don't know either so...don't ask) Gods I didn't think she was worthy of that. I should have been more emotional, I wanted to protest and I almost did but I knew it wouldn't help. I did know some one had a plan here, not me though.

The one thing that relieved me and almost made me laugh was that when they tried to her kill she flinched so hard that the swing of the sword of one of the ghouls missed and they sent her to the Fields Of Punishment before they could kill her. I don't know why they didn't hold her down, not that I'm complaining. I hope Hades has at least some mercy.

"You imbecile. There is no way to get her back here." The judge in the middle said.

"How was I suppose to prepare for a flinch, brave heroes don't flinch!" The ghoul said which made me want to punch him but my hand would go straight through him.

Grover's turn.

"He is kind-hearted yet lacks courage." The one on the left said. He seemed to be all over this fact like Grover was too scared to move or something, not.

"In most situations this is false. Although, he could have acted in some situations he has yet to hesitate to save his friends." The one in the middle one said. Grover seemed to agree with this. Grover only got those two sentences from the judges they didn't say anything after that which didn't seem like a good or bad thing.

"You are free to go to the Fields Of Elysium." The one on the right said. I was so surprised, not by the fact of him getting into Elysium but that the judges made him sound worthless. Don't get me wrong I'm not jealous or mad, but he deserves more than two arguments, he has done more than that surely. But then again he did have to die to get into Elysium, so I took my chances since he was the only one who was going to die at the moment. (Alternately Percy would go to Asphodel, because I'm that evil.)

"Is there any other way to get into Elysium without dying?" I asked hoping they didn't kill the both of us on the spot anyways.

"How about we take Grover there alive and you to the Fields Of Punishment alive without judgment." The ghoul said.

Couldn't they have done that in the first place? Maybe even have taken us all to the Fields Of Asphodel first? I agreed anyways even if I sounded crazy for doing that, at least one of us would be happy.

Baxie's POV

I wasn't sure if I was scared, happy, relived, or even more terrified. All I knew I was that I was not alone. Percy popped in a minute after I came in.

"Hey weren't you suppose to go last?" I ask.

"We are in the Fields Of Punishment and that's the first question you ask?" Percy asks.

"That is not the point. Besides I've got a plan that will most likely fail so...yeah."

Percy explains me the story.

"It's like they were in a rush. Well we have more important things to tend to. I think Hades will visit us once he realizes I'm his some what daughter, and maybe he will do something...Underworld-y." I said.

"Are you crazy, Hades most likely just heard the whole thing, and he hates Poseidon and Zeus, why give mercy to me of he wants to start a war? He might put us all here!" Percy said.

"Aye, that's exactly what I thought of but I can't choose whether he will give us mercy or not, that's all on him. And we don't know if he wants to start a war, do we?"

"BUT I'm still a child of Poseidon, they hate each other."

"Exactly. Plus so am I."

"Huh? Nevermind, but how do you expect us to meet him or ever see him?"

"No idea. So what are we suppose happen here?" I said.

"Punishment, duh. Maybe Hades will come here and boss-" Percy started, then I pushed him to the floor, but he was prepared for that because he grabbed my hand and pulled me down at the same time.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"Well considering the fact that you wanted to get us killed before we met Hades I'd say I had the permission."

We heard a voice in the wind whisper magma.

"You don't think-" Percy started then looked down, and I looked up. We both had different ideas but we were both right. It's like we had our own space in the fields because the mountain next to us was in fact a volcano, and the earth under us was opening, erupting up into the air, a geyser, a never ending stream of steam. Lucky us, it wasn't water so Percy couldn't use it against the lava, and as if that wasn't bad enough, the ashes didn't kill us, just burned, a lot. Great, we are about to swim lava but we are not going to die, good one Hades.

Annabeth's POV

I waited to see if anything happened, anyone showed us, nothing. I want to cry but I can't. I see Hades' castle but I know I can't reach it. I sat down watching the lost spirits wander.

It finally came to me that everyone else either went to the Fields Of Elysium our the Fields Of Punishment. I wish I knew who went where. I took out my knife, as if it would do anything, and thought about something. Why didn't they disarm us? Then I thought about bigger problems, like how World War III was going to start and everyone at camp would most likely die, and it was all my fault, if only the I had more time to think of a elaborate plan we wouldn't be in this mess.

And I would never know what idiot thought it was a good idea to steal Zeus's property. The best part is I'm sitting here doing nothing about it. (This next part is just a joke Annabeth said to herself so she could cheer herself up, she would never think of food at a time like this.) And to top it all off, there won't be anymore burgers, ever.

Since I had eternity to think I thought of many things that did seem right about Baxie and Percy, how they were always roommates, how she had an accent, how they both were claimed a second apart. I guess I would never know why.

"I know how you feel." A woman's voice said.

"Huh? Who are you?" I asked.

"Persephone." She said.

Grover's POV

When I got to the Fields of Elysium I was screaming no because Percy was going to get punishment and I was going to be honored, and it's all because of his...kindness. I didn't even get to say good-bye, but that happens a lot.

I sat down on the grass admiring the beauty of the land. I can't enjoy it while I just saw my friend willingly go to the Fields Of Punishment for me.
