Disclaimer: Yep, still don't own PJO, and I'll go ahead and cry in the corner thinking about it. Damn you Uncle Rick!


After being shoved into the Aphrodite Cabin's bathroom with an embarrassed "You'll figure it out!" squeak from Annabeth, and after taking care of her buisness, Percy searched through the Aphrodite girls' trunks for anything she could wear that didn't feel like a tent on her. She wrinkled her nose at every outfit Annabeth held out for her, and declined each and every one of them.

"Gods, Percy," Annabeth groaned. "Pick one!"

"But I can't!" Percy wailed, flinging her hands into the air. "Everything here is too girly!"

"You're a girl," Annabeth snapped. "Get used to it."

Percy pouted. She knew she was being unfair, and that Annabeth just wanted to help, but she really wanted to whine. Thanks to her big mouth, she got cursed by a goddess and somehow turned into a female. Percy found herself touching her breasts a lot just to make sure they were real. They were, by the way.

Everything felt surreal. One minute she was a guy, the next she was kept looking in her pants "just to make sure." And when Conner called her Percy, she was really scared that they had found out. She was embarrassed at how easily they seemed to make her feel as if she was standing butt-naked in front of them. Yes, that embarrassed.

"Percy, stop moping. It doesn't look right with that face."

Percy frowned, inspecting a blue tube top. She felt like she was trespassing on the campers' personal things. "Aren't you freaked out?" She asked.

"I am."

Percy glanced at Annabeth's collected face doubtfully.

Annabeth sighed. "I know this isn't the greatest solution, Percy, but bear with us. If we want to get anything done, first we need to make you look presentable, which is difficult considering how small you are."

She was right, as always, but that didn't make Percy feel better. She felt awful and weary, as if she didn't quite fit in this body. It made her uncomfortable. "What's today?" She asked, wanting to forget about her problem. "I hate being left in the dark, you know."

Annabeth hesitated. "June 18th," she murmured.

Percy froze. Her eyes widened as she dropped the top. "18th?" She squeaked. "The 18th? Shit, I planned to hang out with Rachel today! She'll think I ditched her and- Hades, my mom was going to pick me up! What am I going to do?"

"Percy, calm down," Annabeth commanded. "We'll figure this out." Annabeth bit her lip, thinking hard. Percy knew that look on her best friend's face. She was thinking of a plan. "Okay," she said after a while. "Here's the plan: we need to get you out of camp before anyone notices you. You'll spend the day with...," Annabeth gagged a bit, "Rachel while I-"

"You want Rachel to see me like this?" Percy interrupted, gesturing to her chest.

"Yes, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth snapped. "Staying here will raise suspicion, and you need clothes. I don't think your bra size is in here-"

Percy blushed hard. She still couldn't get used to all the girl talk. All the things she prided herself in being ignorant about was now being said casually in a conversation about her. "Annabeth," she whined. "Don't say things like that."

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "It's a natural thing to talk about now that you're a girl, Seaweed Brain. You'll hear it more and more."

"It's bad enough I lost my peni-"

"Percy!"

"And it's wierd sitting down while peeing-"

"Percy!"

"And I'll have to worry about PMSing, whatever that is-"

"Percy!"

"And now I'll probably lose some of my skill and I'll have to worry about breaking nails-"

"PERCY!"

"And I can no longer look at hot girls-"

"Percy?"

Percy and Annabeth froze, looking up from the floor and seeing Silena Beaurgaurd standing in the doorway. She had a confused look on her face, switching her gaze from Annabeth to Percy and back again. Her long black hair was braided down her back.

"S-Silena!" Annabeth stammered. "What are you doing here? Is anyone with you?"

She shook her head. "No," she replied. "I came here by myself. I was getting ready for my date with Charlie when I...I heard you screaming Percy and I thought..." She trailed off. "Who's that?"

Percy gulped. If anymore of her friends saw her like this, she would die from embarrassment. "H-Hi," she stammered.

"Silena," Annabeth started, standing up. "Get in and close the door."

Silena did as she was told silently. She stood a few feet away from Percy, wary.

"Now you must promise not to tell anyone about this," Annabeth warned. "Only Grover, Will, and Chiron know about this."

"Why?" Silena asked, confused.

"Because we need help and you're the most trustworthy Aphrodite girl that I know."

Silena winced, but Annabeth didn't seem to notice. Percy glanced at her quizzically. She noticed a bracelet dangling from her wrist, plain except for a scythe charm. Percy was pretty sure she hadn't seen that before.

"Sure, what is it?" She asked hesitantly.

"You see, this girl-" Annabeth pointed at Percy. "-needs help finding clothes because in a few minutes, she'll have to sneak out of Camp."

"Why?" Silena asked.

Annabeth hesitated. "Promise not to tell anyone?"

Silena's blue eyes flickered to Percy before saying, "Yeah, I promise."

Percy noticed that she had one hand held behind her back. Before she could think anymore about it, Annabeth said, "This girl is, er, was Percy Jackson."

"Annabeth!" Percy wailed, covering her face with the tube top she dropped earlier. "Could you be any less blunt?"

Silena just blinked. "What?"

"Percy was turned into a girl," Annabeth explained. "Somehow, he was cursed by a goddess and turned into a she, so her name is now Persephone Jacobs. We need to get her out of camp while we think of a solution to reverse the curse, and she needs clothes. Can you help?"

"S-sure," she stammered. "But, gods, is that really Percy?"

"Yep," Percy said, popping the p.

"Y-you look really pretty."

Percy blushed.

"If I hadn't known better, I would've thought you were a child of Aphrodite," Silena remarked.

Percy blushed even more, if that was possible.

"Silena," Annabeth said tiredly. "Are you going to help us or not?"

Silena straightened. "If clothes are involved, of course I will help. And you, Persephone Jacobs-" Silena gave her a once-over. "-need all the help you can get."

Percy sighed. This won't be good.


After being fitted in multiple outfits, Silena finally deemed Percy ready. Annabeth watched them silently, only talking when remarking about a shade of some color matching her eyes or something. All this made her head hurt, but she couldn't complain. It could have been worse.

Percy was wearing the tube top she had earlier, dark denim cuffed shorts, light blue vans, and a leather jacket. Her long hair was messily braided to the side. Percy had to admit, she didn't look like she lived in a box for a large portion of her life as she usually did.

"Pretty, don't you think?" Silena asked, staring approvingly at Percy. "Persephone Jacobs is now ready for the world, fashionably, of course."

"Call me Percy," she said, inspecting herself in the full body mirror they had. "It's seems as if I already got a nickname."

Silena looked at Annabeth curiously, her eyes asking her to explain.

"We met the Stoll brothers," Annabeth explained. "They gave her the nickname 'Percy', in honor of our own poor, poor, poor Perseus Jackson."

Percy scowled at the girls as they snickered. She stared at herself in the mirror and touched her tanned skin softly. Who could've done this too her? Who hated Percy so much, that she'll give her the worst punishment ever existed: being a girl.

"Wait." Percy had a sudden pressing concern. "If I'm a girl, does that mean I'll have raging hormones and emotional breakdowns? Is sass some girl trait men don't know about?"

Silena scowled while Annabeth punched her in the arm.

"Ow, it's just an honest question," Percy yelped. "Anger issues."

Both girls stuck their tongues at him. Just as they did, though, the cabin door swung open and in walked Will.

"Are you girls done- woah."

Will stared at Percy, jaw hitting the floor with a satisfying thunk. His gaze slid down her form, taking everything in. Percy felt almost uncomfortable by that look and she didn't know why, so she shrugged it off. She looked back and saw Annabeth rolling her eyes and Silena giggling. She felt as if she was missing something.

"Y-y-you look...amazing," Will said.

Percy frowned. "Really? It doesn't feel that way to me."

The son of Apollo raised an eyebrow. "Really? I mean, damn, you were always attractive as a boy but now..."

Percy frowned at him. "What do you mean I was attractive as a guy?"

Silena giggled while Annabeth facepalmed.

"Gods," she groaned. "You're so oblivious!"


Yay, new chapter! I just love oblivious!Percy, he/she is so hilarious. Anyways, I don't remember the charm on the bracelet, so if I got it wrong, tell me okay? And yes, Silena is still a traitor. You'll find out more in the next chapter. Sorry this isn't long, but I want each chapter to be at least 1,200 words, and right now it's 1,532. It can't go over 2,000, obviously. Anyways, review.

*Edit* Thank you Guest for telling me what the charm is! I haven't read TLO in years... But I might read it again just for the hell of it.

*Double edit* Percy frowned at him. "What do you mean I was attractive as a guy?" It means you were well-respected and enjoyable as a guy. WHAT THE HADES DO YOU THINK IT MEANS?
