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: I Finally Impress The Wine Dude
PERSEPHONE: played by Raffey Cassidy.
AN: THANK YOU! A big THANK YOU to all those who favourited, followed and reviewed! Now, my first OC (original character) does have a mention in this chapter.

LUKE POV
Luke stared at the young teen he and Annabeth were nursing to health. She was very pretty, beautiful even, at least for her age, which was obviously around Annabeth's. "Hey, Grover. What are you doing here?" He heard Annabeth say. Luke teared his eyes away from the black haired sleeping beauty. Sure enough, there was Grover, standing there holding a shoe box. "I wanted to see how she was doing." Grover whispered nervously. Luke smiled at him "she's fine, Grover. A little tired, but fine" he assured. Grover nodded and looked relieved. "Thank goodness, I was getting worried."
"Fates… Stupid… Larry… Mum… Dead" Luke, Annabeth and Grover all turned to see Persy tossing and turning in the bed, muttering things. She talks in her sleep? How cute, Luke thought, smiling softly. He quickly and mentally shook himself. You are the commander of Kronos' army. You cannot go soft! He scolded himself. "I'm gonna go get a bed ready for her" Luke told them before sprinting out of the medical room, the only things going through his head was the girl with long brown hair and pale skin.

THIRD PERSON POV
Persy stood on the Fates island, discussing things. "Why was Luke there?" She asked them. The Fates glanced at each other. "Well… We may or may not have been giving him dreams of your arrival and we might have been giving him ideas for convincing you to join Kronos…" Clotho said guiltily. "WHAT? Listen, you are the FATES, YOU CANNOT BE STUPID!" Atropos, Lachesis and Clotho gave her an offended glare.
"You can't go around abusing the power the great God Chaos gave you! Why are you making my life so difficult?! What did I do? You've made me female -" "ON ACCIDENT!" "-you still did it, and you've given me feelings for Luke and now you want to make it harder for me to resist? Ughh! Where's Larry when you need him?" Persy shut up after that, remembering the fact that her mum was gone, taken by Hades and almost dead…
••—••—••
Grover watched Persy as she slept. He felt a bit like Edward Cullen, stalking his best friend, but he was very, very worried about her. He jumped in surprise when Persy snapped her eyes open sharply. "Grover?" Persy murmured. "Hey, Perse. How are you?" Persy smiled at him, "like I'm in Mrs Dodds maths test." Grover nodded, it was expected. Mrs Dodds maths tests were ridiculously hard and took a lot of concentration, stress, smarts and preparation. In the end, all the students were tired, cranky, brain dead and some even were reduced to tears. Overall, it was the perfect way to describe what Persy was feeling at that moment.
"Here" Grover said, handing the brunette beauty a cup of nectar. It still tasted the same; Sally Jackson's famous blue cookies. Persy gave a watery smile, thinking about how much people had began to love Sally's cookies…
••—•Flashback•—••
Percy walked into Camp Half Blood, waving goodbye to his mum and holding a container of 4000 blue cookies. About one for each camper. Percy honestly didn't know where Sally got the time to bake 4000 cookies, but he wasn't about to complain.
That night at dinner, Mr D stood up to give an announcement. "Perry Jonson has something to tell you." Was all the lazy man said before he sat back down. Percy faced his fellow campers and opened the container, which he had brought for this exact reason. A glazed look surrounded the campers eyes as the sweet smell of Sally Jackson's blue cookies filled the amphitheater. "MRS JACKSON'S COOKIES!" Madeleine Little, daughter of Hades, yelled jumping up and running over to her cousin. "Can I have one?" Maddie asked cutely. Percy nodded and handed her the cookie she so craved. "HEY Perce, pass one over here?" Shouts echoed around the room as people begged for Percy's mums cookies. Honestly, it was very funny.
••—•Flashback End•—••
Persy smiled. She missed little Madeleine. Maddie was six years old and Nico, Hazel and Marcus had protected her furiously. Marcus was Maddie's mortal brother, he was ten years older, being sixteen. Thinking about the future/past/whatever made her sad. What if something she did prevented Maddie from being born. Persy knew from Nico who heard it from Demeter who heard it from Persephone who heard it from Hades that Hades had gotten drunk around Bianca's death during his greif and had accidentally conceived Maddie's mother.
Persy knew that by saving Bianca, she would have to give up Maddie. That was a hard decision to make.
"Hey, Perse. You ready to meet Chiron and Mr D?" Persy nodded at Grover and hopped out of bed, stumbling slightly. "Yeah, let's go."
••—••—••
Persy sat beside Mr D, quite surprised that instead of Pinochle, they were playing… Billionaire. Persy felt a grin slip onto her face, if there was one thing she knew she could win at, it was Billionaire, she had Ally Valentine, daughter of Dionysus to thank for that. (AN: sorry, but I love this game! If you haven't heard of it, I don't blame you, I don't think it's very popular. But I it's dealing/swapping game and I think Persy would be best at those.)
"Ah, ha! I win! Billionaire!" Mr D exclaimed, placing down his cards. Persy glanced down at the cards. It wasn't right. Mr D was collecting oils, she still had three oils, there was no way he could have won. Thankfully, Chiron stepped in. "Mr D, you do not have all your cards yet, you only have six. Not nine." THANK YOU CHIRON!
Persy quickly placed the three oils down, "three." She called. Grover nodded and placed three down, he and Persy swapping the cards in only seconds. Persy grinned at the cards she got. "BILLIONAIRE with billionaire!" She exclaimed, placing down her nine golds and the billionaire card.
Mr D looked at her surprised. "Very well done Miss Jackson." Was all he said before he stood up, calling for Grover to follow him. Persy's jaw dropped. He didn't call me Jonson or Johanson she thought. Grover, Persy and Chiron stared at the retreating figure in shock. "MR UNDERWOOD!" Grover stood up faster then you could say, 'enchilada' and ran after Mr D.
I have done the impossible, I have impressed Dionysus.

AN: So what do you think? Short chapter, I know, but honestly, I didn't know what to do. SPOILER: you may want to remember Madeleine Little, she's important. I'm pretty sure that I got the calculations of Maddie's age right. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I was hoping that my lovely readers would be so kind as to review me some ideas for the next chapter, because honestly, I'm lost, like Hansel-and-Gretel lost. Someone has already sent me a beautiful request that I will put in there! It is too amazing not to. So thank you to OriontheGreat for sending me that request. It will get there.
