A/N: Here's the second chapter. I have made Chris a son of Apollo, okay.

Annabeth, Percy, Thalia, Nico, Clarisse, Chris, and Katie stepped onto the pathway leading up the palace.

"I think we're going to have the best essays," Nico said.

"Oh gee I wonder why? Of course we are you imbecile!" Thalia said, just a tad irritated that Zeus had made her leave the hunters to get a high school education.

"Calm down Thales, we aren't even three months into school yet," Annabeth said. The group was still armed with all their school stuff backpacks and all. Several minutes later they were arriving at the doors of the throne room.

"I'm just excited to see my Mom because I haven't seen her in two years and all," Katie said.

"Good Gods get a grip you're like Annie the ghost from Being Human (on BBC America) when she saw the pizza guy and he could see her," Clarisse said.

"Yeah, but the more important thing is you watch BBC America?" Percy asked.

"Oh shut up," Clarisse said. Will pushed open the door to the throne room. The Olympians sat lounging around doing whatever. Athena was reading a book, Poseidon was making little fountains of water spray at the pillars, Zeus was practicing putting with his golf clubs, Ares was polishing his sword, Hades was looking bored, Demeter was watering a flower, and Apollo was eating popcorn and shooting the un-popped kernels at balloons from his spot in his recliner. The rest of them were just doing nothing.

"Oh great, okay usual routine," Dionysus said.

"Oh shut up," Nico said.

"How was school?" Athena asked looking up from her book.

"Fine, that's actually why we are here, we have a project to do," Annabeth said.

"Excellent on what?" Poseidon said, sitting up. "Wait hold that thought," he added looking at Zeus who was concentrating. "Hey Daddy, you're daughter is here!"

"Thalia, one second," Zeus said.

"I don't have all night, I need to do an essay on you can we get on with this," Thalia said.

"Oh well in that case," Zeus said pulling out his driver. "Fore!" he yelled and swung, the golf ball went sailing out of the throne room.

"So you all got your parents for the project," Aphrodite said slowly.

"No, we picked," Chris, said.

"Finally something to do!" Apollo said getting up and shoving the popcorn bowl at Artemis. "Come on, I'm going to tell you all about your me," he said to Chris.

"So basically I tell you all about me and then you leave and stop bothering me?" Hades ran by Nico.

"Yes," Nico said.

"Then what are you standing there for! Pen, paper, computer something!" Hades replied and Nico pulled out his laptop and sat on the ground next to his Dad.

Annabeth walked over to Athena. "I started an outline so we just need to go over some details and then you can proofread the draft," Annabeth said.

"Okay sounds good," Athena replied.

"You're just trying to get an 'A' right?" Poseidon asked.

"Yeah, basically and Annabeth suggested an outline so check this and see what you think," Percy said handing the paper to his father.

"So an essay?" Zeus said.

"Yeah, here's an outline that I did make any changes that you'd feel were necessary," Thalia said.

"How is it coming along so far?" Demeter asked her Katie who was typing as she spoke.

"Great, I just passed the first titan war," Katie replied. Ares and Clarisse sat talking and typing into her laptop. Several hours later the group left Olympus.

One Week Later

"I am very disappointed in some of you, but very proud of some others. Seven of you handed in excellent essays with amazing resources…others handed in work that was poorly written," Miss Brown said handing out their essays. When the seven received there's they looked at one another and smiled.

Two hours later the group was standing excitedly in the elevator of the Empire State Building. They ran across the pathway to the throne room. The seven burst into the throne room during the council's session.

"Oh sorry did we interrupt," Thalia said.

"No, no, come in. What's the occasion this time?" Zeus asked.

"I got an 'A'!" the seven yelled running up to their parent. A chorus of praise was followed.

"We'll meet back here later, I think this calls for ice cream," Ares said.

"I agree, I agree most strongly," Apollo said.

"You just want to go to that shop next to the building," Athena said.

"And we're okay with that," the seven said.

The seven Gods and Goddesses got up and walked out with their kids.

"You just cancel the session for that?" Hermes said.

"I don't see one of your kids running up to you with an excellent paper, so bye," Poseidon said.

For the next hour the fourteen sat in Central Park talking about school with their parents.
