BOOK TITLE: A Second Chance
SUMMERY: The Giant War has ended, but with many deaths. Percy Jackson, the only survivor of the seven, wishes for a Reset Button, to change the way things went, a second chance. The Fates were merciful for the demigod, granting his wish. Imagine his surprise when he woke up at the young age of twelve, in his old bedroom. The most surprising thing? Percy Jackson is now Persephone Jackson. Basically, Percy gets a chance to redo things but as a girl. Can be read as a oneshot. Probably will contain OCs (Original Characters) later on.
PARINGS: Female Percy/Luke
CHAPTER TITLE: Accidentally Vaporising My Teacher, AGAIN!
PERSEPHONE: played by Raffey Cassidy.
AN: THANK YOU! A big THANK YOU to all those who favourited, followed and reviewed! A quick reminder, when Percy turns into Persephone, he will become more feminine, so he will not be a boy in a girls body. I'll try keep to the books while changing it at the same time, something I suck at. Here's the second chapter!

THIRD PERSON POV
Persy, yes with a 's', Jackson sat beside her best friend, Grover Underwood on the bus towards the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a school field trip. Persy knew that no matter what, Grover would still be her best friend, girl or not, since the moment she saw him enter Yancy Academy. As Persy sat there, she reflected on the moments that brought her back to Yancy.
••—•FLASHBACK•—••
After she had replaced her wardrobe with her mum, Persy explained everything. The wars, the deaths, her wish. Sally had listened with rapt attention, not commenting at all. It honestly worried Persy.
"Well, first things first. Your name." Sally finally said, after a minute. Persy looked at her confusedly, "what about my name?" "Perseus Achilles Jackson. Not particularly famine don't you think?" Persy thought for a minute. "I suppose you're right. But I like my initials P.A.J could we stick to that?" Sally nodded. "I've always liked Anastasiya (Anna-stay-zee-a), so maybe Persephone Anastasiya Jackson? That way you can keep your nickname." Persy smiled. "I love it mum." That night, she had a strange dream, more like a visit. A visit from three old women
••—•DREAM•—••
Persy stared at the Fates. "What?" Clotho gave her a small smile, "Yes, Persephone. We sent you back. It was, however, an accident that you became a female. But, there was nothing we could do about it, you were destined to become female. Not in a transgender way either." Atropos placed the shears down and walked over to a golden hook, where Persy's thread lied. Not that she knew that.
Lachesis took the thread from Atropos and held it out for Persy to see. "This, Persephone, is your life thread." Persy peered at it, amazed. "As you can tell, it is different from most. For one thing, it has two colours. Starts as a sea-green and ends as a ocean blue." Persy gasped, "my eyes! Perseus had sea-green and Persephone had ocean blue!" She realised. Clotho nodded.
"What's with all the dents?" Atropos looked guilty. "I tried to cut it, several times. But apparently it wasn't your time." Persy nodded, trying not to be angry, Atropos was just doing her job. "But on the matter of your… Transformation. You can never go back to being a male, you will start to develop feelings for guys, your actions may change for a more girly reaction. Clotho has gone back in time and made sure everyone knows you are a girl. They definitely won't go around saying, "weren't you a guy?"" Lachesis explained, giving Persy's thread to Atropos who placed it back on its hook.
Persy nodded. "Good, now. Wake up, young heroine. Wake up and change the future!"
••—•DREAM END•—••
••—•FLASHBACK END•—••
"Hey, Persy. We're there." Grover said, shaking Persy out of her flashback. "Oh, thanks, Grover." Persy and Grover walked towards the exit of the bus, only to be pushed down by one Nancy Bobofit. "Watch it, Nerds!" She sneered, hopping off the bus. Persy rolled her eyes, pulling Grover up. "Come on, Grove. Let's go."
••—••—••
Persy braided her hair back as she half-listened to Mr Brunner (actually Chiron). "Miss Jackson? Perhaps you could answer Mr Brunner's question?" Mrs Dodds (actually Alecto) asked. Persy avoided glaring at her. "I'm sorry, Mr Brunner, I couldn't hear you over Nancy's gossiping." Persy said innocently. The class snorted. Nancy glared at the back of Persy's head.
"Miss Bobofit, could you please stop talking. Miss Jackson, my question was, what does this picture represent?" Mr Brunner gestured to the picture behind him. Grover snickered from beside her, muttering "busted" to Nancy. Persy didn't even look at the stele. "That picture represents Kronos eating his children." Mr Brunner nodded. "Yes, and he did this because?"
"Kronos was given a warning by his father, who Kronos had murdered and trapped in the sky, that one of his children would overthrow him. Kronos ignored him, believing the curse to be fake. When his wife, Rhea, gave birth to his children, he realised that they were gods and goddesses and therefore, stronger then him. Frightened, Kronos ate each child, except one. Rhea hid Zeus and once he was old enough, helped him into the castle. Once he was in the Titan's home, he fed Kronos a mixture of mustard and wine, which forced him to throw up each of Zeus' siblings."
Mr Brunner nodded. "Good job, Miss Jackson. Full marks. Mrs Dodds, will you please escort the class outside? It is lunchtime after all." Persy resisted the urge to smile. Same old Chiron.
Ok, I need to do something to get Alecto's attention. If I don't, Chiron and Grover won't take extra measures to make sure I get to CHB. Persy thought. Looking around there was nothing. Absolutely nothing she could do. Wait! If I… And then… Yes! It's perfect! With that final thought, Persy said to Grover "I'll be back in a second. I need to ask Mrs Dodds a question."
Grover tried to stop her, but Persy was determined. "Excuse me Mrs Dodds, could you please take me back to the Greek and Roman section? I thought I saw something that was great for my essay on Julius Cesar." Alecto nodded eagerly and lead Persy away from the class and into the Greek and Roman section.
••—••—••
"WHERE IS IT?!" Persy could honestly say she was *this* close to laughing. After facing Gaia herself, Alecto seemed kind of weak. She was kind of weak. But, she had to play innocent, scared girl.
"M-Mrs Dodds. I-I d-don't know w-what your t-talking about." Persy 'whimpered'. One second more, she thought. "What ho, Persy!" There it is, Persy squealed running after Riptide, catching her faithful blade. "Tell him I don't have it. Never have, never will… Hopefully."
With those last words Persy sliced Riptide through Alecto and knowing she was returning to Hades, Persy ran outside. Glancing around, Persy could see a hazy glow starting to settle around, The mist. "Here you are, Mr Brunner. Thank you for lending me your pen!" Persy said, giving Riptide to him and running back to Grover, Chiron's confused expression in her back. Has the mist affected her to? He asked himself before returning to his novel.
