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: Girl's Day In (Sort of a OneShot)
PERSEPHONE: played by Raffey Cassidy.
ANNABETH: played by Hattie Gotobed
AN: THANK YOU! A big THANK YOU to all those who favourited, followed and reviewed! This chapter is dedicated to OriontheGreat who suggested, 'a scene where Persy has a talk about girl issues, maybe with Annabeth.' This chapter might effect things in the book, but I'm not really sure. I don't really plan things out, just allow my brain to command my hand to write then check it over later. Some things are planned out though, like Maddie Little's (who is actually around 2-3, thank you DHG Kablamstar and dogbiscuit1967!) place in the story.

THIRD PERSON POV
Persy sat on her bed in cabin three; Poseidon. She was staring out the window opposite her bed, wondering when Hades will command her to go on the quest to get the helm of darkness and Drama King's bolt and free her mother. Her bright blue eyes wondered around the room, taking in the desks, lights, doors, everything in the room really. She gazed sadly at the large bed that Tyson would soon reside in. A grin took over the frown as Persy remembered her little brother.
Tyson had been injured in the battle with Gaia, Ella the harpy (AN: was it Ella? I don't have the book and I can't really remember) was going crazy with worry for him before Percy became… Persy. It was adorable really, how much the two cared for each other.
Looking at the bed reminded Persy of how cabin three had actually been before Tyson came… lonely

Persy looked toward the door, frowning slightly. What is someone doing here at this hour? Persy asked herself.

Jumping up, Persy quickly opened the door, only to find nothing. Persy furrowed her eyebrows and concentrated. Using the water monocles in the air, Percy quickly located who was at her door… used to be at her door. That person was now inside cabin three, currently hiding in a corner. Annabeth… Persy frowned at the fond feeling that flowed through her. It wasn't the love that Persy… Percy… Was used to feeling, it was the feeling that Persy/Percy got when she thought of Thalia, sibling bond… Why was that?
Oh, right! Erased everything male from you… That must mean her feelings for Annabeth were replaced with feelings for Luke. What is this world coming to? Persy thought about Ally Valentine (daughter of Dionysus) and her girlfriend Jade Kennings (daughter of Apollo). Why didn't she still harbour the same feelings for Annabeth? Ughh… Persy was a child of Poseidon and children of Poseidon aren't supposed to think hard!
"Excuse me, miss Chase, what are you doing here?" Persy called in Annabeth's direction.
Annabeth's jaw dropped in shock, how did Persy know she was there? Better yet, Annabeth was still wondering why she came in the first place. Annabeth couldn't explain it, but she felt that Persy was… A sister in some way; a sister that need to be protected. When Annabeth had seen the lights on in cabin three from Athena's cabin (AN: it's cabin six right? Please let me know!) she began to get curious and worried. She came over, only to be caught.
Annabeth took off her hat and smiled somewhat nervously at the daughter of Poseidon. Children of Poseidon were known for their tempers after all… So were most demigods now that Annabeth thought about it. Actually, when Annabeth lived with her dad, she had to go to anger management classes, so had Thalia… Huh, weird. Oh, look a frog! STUPID ADHD!
"I came to see what you where doing up." She asked. Out of nowhere, the tears Persy had been holding back for months now filled her eyes. Sobbing, the brunette ran to the blonde, hugging her tightly. Confused, Annabeth patted her back as best she could with her arms being pinned to her side.
"Hic. I'm sorry hic. I don't know hic what's wrong with me hic" Persy explained, pulling back, allowing Annabeth to breath and stretch her arms, which had lost all feeling. "Are-are you alright?" Annabeth only ever stuttered if she was either really confused or worried. Right now, she was both.
"Annabeth, I think I need to tell you something… You might not believe me though…" And Persy began to explain everything, her past/future, the fates, everything. The two things she left out; the fact she and Annabeth dated and her feelings for Luke.
Annabeth listened patiently, surprising for someone with ADHD. Annabeth thought Persy was making it up at first, but the serious look in Persy's eyes and the slight tears made Annabeth know it was the truth.
"… Wow." Was all she could say. "Please, please don't freak out!" Annabeth nodded. "I won't." Persy sighed in relief. "Please don't tell anyone! Can it just stay our secret?" Annabeth smiled at Persy. "Of course." "Hey, have you seen that movie, UP?" (Just go along with it) "No, but I've heard it's quite good." Smiling like the joker at Annabeth's response and her own brilliance, Persy bounded over to a loose floor board and pulled out her portable DVD player.
"Want to watch it?"
••—••—••
(AN: this part contains small spoilers for Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks (can't remember which) movie UP, great movie by the way. Kinda sad though. If you've watched it, please give me your opinion in a review!)
Persy and Annabeth were huddled on Tyson's future bed, Persy's blanket over them. Tears were streaming down the girls faces as Ellie died. "This part always makes me cry" Persy whispered. Annabeth's deep breaths were a little shaky.
"And this statue looks like a dog." The two-well one- battle hardened warriors jumped when the 'statue' moved forward. "I was not expecting that" Annabeth said when the dog began to… "OMG! It's a talking dog!" Persy squealed.
By the end of the movie, the now best friends were fast asleep, the DVD player rolling the end credits, dried tears stained their faces.

Chiron was worried. Malcolm had woken him up at six o'clock in the morning, telling him Annabeth wasn't in her bed. Now it was breakfast, eight o'clock and neither Annabeth nor Persephone had turned up. Perhaps Annabeth was in the woods, killing monsters. But, Persephone was most likely asleep still. Chiron remembered how much that girl loved sleep. She always missed the first period because she would be in bed or in the shower.

Chiron knocked softly before walking in. Whatever he was expecting, it wasn't this. Chiron smiled softly at the sight.
Annabeth and Persy were laying on the spare large bed, Chiron figured that the blanket covering the girls belonged to the bed that had been stripped of its blanket. There was a small DVD player laying between the girls, from the reflection from the window behind the girls, the movie was UP. Quite a good movie too, if Chiron remembered correctly (which he did). The two girls were back to back, their hair mixing into a dark gold colour. It reminded Chiron of Milly and Molly Shepherd from Hermes Cabin, the twin girls.
Chiron trotted out the door. I'll let them sleep for a bit longer… he thought. I'll give you a hint, the girls got a day off, a Girl's Day In, a quarter spent with girl talk, Annabeth warning Persy of the challenges a girl faces, half spent with girly movies that either made them cry or laugh. There was no in between. And the last quarter of the day, they spent at the beach. They invited Clarisse, Selina, Katie and Lou Ellen as well.
"Woo hoo! We should do this every sunset!" Katie told them as they sat around the small campfire Chiron had allowed them to make, roasting marshmallows. "Eh, it's okay I guess. But next time, how about we fight a bit?" Guess who said that. (Hint: daughter of Ares) Persy and Annabeth smiled at each other. They had bonded surprisingly well for a day, but as Sally always told Percy; 'to create a life long friendship between girls, all you need is trust, love, care and support.' Persy had trusted Annabeth with her secret, Annabeth cared enough to listen and they both showed sisterly love when they support each other. Yeah, Persy hoped that this would become a life long friendship.
"Oh My Gods…" Lou Ellen gasped, staring into the fire. The girls followed her gaze. Some (Katie, Annabeth and Selina) shrieked and others (Clarisse, Persy and Lou) stared at it in amazement. Hades… went through Persy and Annabeth's mind. It's time for the quest…
"What the effen Hades is that?" Clarisse asked Annabeth. "Um…" Annabeth glanced at Persy. "I think it's a sign from a god or goddess. Go get Chiron please, Katie"
That was the day that the Sunset Sisters were born… and the day Persy prepared to set out on her first-hundredth-this gets confusing-quest.

AN: what do you think? Too weird? I'm especially looking for your response, OriontheGreat. Please let me know what you think of this chapter, the movie 'UP', the sunset sisters. Anything. Yes, this is kinda a oneshot, but I really wanted to get this wonderful idea out there. It does blend into the story quite well doesn't it? It's not really a talk about girl issues but shows the friendship between Persy and Annabeth. Please vote; who should Persy take with her on the quest? YES, ANNABETH IS GOING!
A) Grover
B) Luke
C) Some random camper that you guys make up
D) One of the Sunset Sisters (please say which)
If you do choose the 'Some random camper that you guys make up' option, please add in stuff like: name, age, parent, how they know Persy, why they should go, that sort of thing (pretty pretty please add which actor/actress stars as them, if there is none or you can't think of any, just add their looks. Pretty pretty please.) Until next chapter my lovely readers!
