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

Annabeth stared at the large… Warehouse? Petrol station? It had flashing neon lights and the smell of food had never been better. Annabeth could see Persy glaring at the building through the corner of her eye. "Aunty M's Garden Gnome Emporium" Grover read. "Sounds cool, let's go." Luke commented.
Annabeth quickly nodded, that food smelled soooo good. She breathed in deeply, enjoying the scent of cheeseburgers filling her nostrils. "Come on, guys. Let's skip it. If we keep walking, we might make it to Manhattan and I could call Carlos." Annabeth and Luke waved Persy's suggestion away.
Persy sighed and released the breath she had been holding, allowing the smell of the food to fill her. Oh well, one hamburger can't change anything. She told herself.
Grover looked at the demigods. Each and everyone of them had a dreamy look in their eyes, Annabeth more so then the other two. The smell of the fast food wasn't really appealing to him, because he was a vege— MONSTER! Oh, never mind, false alarm, it was just a woman, coming to greet them, how kind of her!
(AN: I'm just gonna share my theory here, the smell and taste of the food acts as some kind of gas, making them want to stay and eat, sort of like Lotus Hotel and Casino)

Persy burped after finishing her fifth hamburger. She was nothing compared to Luke and Annabeth though, they were on their eighth! PERSEPHONE! Get out of there! It was that voice again, what was that about? Aunty M was really kind, Persy couldn't even remember why she was so against coming to Aunty M's. "So, my dears, what about a picture?" Aunty M asked.
Persy's eyebrows crinkled at that question. What was it about that question that made Persy want to run around screaming 'Stranger Danger! Stranger Danger!'? PERSEPHONE! I already warned you! She's Medusa! You know this! The voice shouted. Persy gasped. 'Don't do it!' She warned with her eyes.
"Of course!" Annabeth squealed. Feeling imaginary daggers flying at her, Annabeth turned and shivered at the death stare she was receiving from the brunette daughter of Poseidon. 'What?' With a final glare, Persy stormed off, in search of a place to hide.
•—•—•
Medusa felt relief flood her when the daughter of Poseidon left. She wanted to keep her, and have her as her and Poseidon's daughter. Who cares who the daughter of Poseidon's (Persy from what she had heard) whore of a mother was? All Medusa needed to do was get rid of the friends.
"Wait! We can't do the photo without Persy!" Grover said, wanting to avoid the photo. His monster senses were going crazy. And Persy's response… Something wasn't normal about 'Aunty M'.
"Nonsense!" Annabeth, Luke and Grover posed, although Grover was really, really reluctant. Annabeth sat beside the duo of boys, staring at the woman, who had no camera, weirdly. Suddenly, a memory flashed in her head;
"Wait! On your first quest you met, fought and beat Medusa?!" Annabeth asked. Persy nodded, wiping a couple tears off her face. "Yeah, she was disguised as Aunty M at Aunty M's Garden Gnome Emporium. She said she wanted to take a picture of us, then she tried to turn us into statues."
"LOOK AWAY!" A voice yelled, bringing the trio down as Medusa began to lift her veil. "What the Hades, Persy?" Luke asked the twelve year old, frustratedly. "She's Medusa!" Both Persy and Annabeth yelled at the same time.
"WHAT?!" Grover's voice had gone high and squeaky.
"SHI-" Luke was stared down by both females until he said, "-TAKIMUSHROOMS!"
"Ok, guys, this is simple! Just find a reflective surface and use that to defeat her, dah!" Persy's simple answer made them all feel stupid. Persy quickly uncapped Riptide, Annabeth put her magic hat on and Luke and Grover picked up a rusting shield. "Ok, here's what we'll do, Persy, Luke and Gover, tell me where she is so I can sneak up behind her, stab her and we can walk to Manhattan and catch a cab from your friend, what's-his-name."
And with that last second plan, they ran off.

PERSY POV (first person)
"Here are some flying shoes, we might need them." Grover grabbed them and put them on, ignoring my fierce glare, although it was aimed at Luke.
I can't believe it… I can't believe I fell for his dashing good looks!
Ughh! Now I know how Annabeth felt.
Persephone, trust me, he does care for you… Oh look, just what I needed! That annoying, lulling voice that keeps calling me 'Persephone'. Oh, go away! I told the voice before nodding at Grover, glaring at Luke and running off. I could feel my ponytail bouncing behind me.

THIRD PERSON
Luke watched as Persy ran off, her long brown curls swinging side to side. Feeling eyes burning into his head, he turned only to see Grover staring at him with a slightly creepy smile.
"What?" Grover shook his head, but his smile never left his face. "You like her." It wasn't a question. "No, I don't!" Luke snapped. "Yeah, and I hate enchiladas" Luke frowned and opened his mouth to retort but stopped when Medusa shrieked, "WHERE ARE YOU?!" Grover cowered slightly and Luke flinched. "Let's continue this later" Grover nodded.
Annabeth watched horrified as Luke and Grover fought Medusa, covering her. She had been running from the snake-haired women when she tripped. Her ankle had started burning immediately, Annabeth assumed it was sprained.
"Annabeth, give me your hat." Persy's voice whispered from behind her. Annabeth nodded, reached into her pocket, yanked out the NYY hat and shoved it into Persy's hands. With the hat on her head of brunette locks, Persy joined Luke and Grover, sneaking behind the terrifying, crazy lady and swung Riptide, the blade slicing right through the gorgon's neck.
"Oh, that's disgusting!"
"Gross!"
"That image is imprinted in my brain!"

"Impressive, Lady Fates. Perhaps, she is the person we need." Clotho heard her tell her sisters.
Clotho never liked her, but she was correct. Persy was exactly the person they needed. Not, Perseus, he was slightly immature, Persephone.
She was right, Persephone was the perfect person to complete her plan. Perhaps Clotho should warn her? Yes, she should.
