TLT PJ pov

I was sitting at the Hermes table with the rest of my temporary cabin. It had been a few days since I had arrived at camp and it was truly starting to feel like home, but I still couldn't stop thinking about Mom. I pushed that thought to the back of my mind when I saw Chiron moving to the front to make an announcement.

The chatter around me stopped as Chiron stomped his foot on the ground, making a loud noise that caused everyone to turn and pay attention.

"Campers for Fridays captur-"

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Before Chiron could even finish what he was going to say, a scrawny brown-haired boy fell from the sky and landed right next to him.

The scrawny boy rubbed his head in pain, muttering something about a "damn fate" or a "wheelchair up that darn ass"; I understood neither of those, but I'll just pretend like I did.

"Where am I?" The brown-haired boy groaned, picking himself up from the ground as if he didn't notice anything going on around him.

"Uh huh" Chiron cleared his throat, causing the strange man to look at him. Now fully off the ground, I could see his elf-like features and clothes. He looked like a repair boy.

I hadn't realized I had said it aloud until the boy started to stare at me with his mouth agape as if he just saw a ghost. "Holy Styx, I'm in the past!" He cried, pointing at something.

"Leo, why are you here?!" Two voices cried from the entrance of the dining pavilion. It was two boys with brown hair and mischievous smiles as if I didn't know any better, I would guess that they were criminals or something, but they looked a little too familiar; I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"Stolls! Thank the gods you're here! Now you can protect me when Piper and the others get here!"

The boys stopped in their tracks and stared at him with a blank look. "I'm not protecting you from them; they're scary."

The strange boys started arguing as if everyone wasn't staring at them. Annabeth finally had enough and jumped up and screamed at them so loud I thought even the underworld heard it. "Who the heck are you already?! If you don't tell me in the next five seconds along with an explanation, I'll stab you with my knife!"

The boys looked scared, and the short one, whose name was probably Leo, started murmuring something about crazy women and how they're always so angry.

A note fell from the sky to Chiron, who read it aloud in a booming voice.

Dear demigods of the past, we, the fates, have decided to send demigods of the future back in time. They will not harm you, and the questions you ask will be answered when the time is right.

PS: Demigods of the future, please state your names and titles.

"Well, I'll go first." Leo stepped forward with a confident hand on his hip. "I am Leo Valdez, aka bad boy supreme, son of Hephaestus, head counselor of Cabin 9, the first fire starter in years, builder of the Argo II, traveler to Calypso's island, one of the 7, defeater of Gaia, fighter of the Second Giant War, dead of the Second Giant War to, and a bunch of other things!"

"I am Conner Stoll, head counselor of the Hermes cabin, survivor of the second Titan and Giant Wars, and a bunch of other things I really don't remember about but they were awesome!"

"And last, I'm Travis Stoll, co-councilor of Cabin 11. Currently off at college, a survivor of the Second Titan and Giant Wars, a robber of the New York Candy Shop during the Second Titan War, and the best thing! My girlfriend is Katie Gardner!"

The dining pavilion went quiet as a girl with braided brown hair, who I assumed to be Katie, jumped up and pointed an accusatory finger at Travis, going on a rant about how she didn't like him, even though her face was redder than a tomato.

I tried to stifle my laughter, but everyone still heard me, so instead of everyone enjoying the show, they were looking at me.

"Is that who I think it is?" Travis said, looking over at Conner, who was looking at him like he was some kind of crazy person or something.

"Yup, that's him. I forgot he used to be so little."

"What are you guys talking about- holy Hera is that Percy?!" Leo screamed, looking at the Stolls like he was questioning his entire life. "Yup, he used to be so adorable before he went through his 'kill everything in sight' phase."

For some odd reason, I felt the immediate urge to just bolt out of there. These kids either knew me from school or because I died. Lately, I couldn't think of another reason. As Leo rushed over to the Hermes table, he put his arm around my neck in a friendly manner and then, when I thought it couldn't get any worse, he dragged me off the table to the little group at the front.

I would lie and say I wasn't nervous, but I couldn't. I was terrified; I didn't know them, and yet here they were dragging me over to hang out with them?! What's wrong with these kids?!

"STOLLS, VALDEZ! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS TIME!" A booming voice yelled at the three boys, who looked at each other then down at me as if deciding whether or not to use me as a bargaining chip.

As the very angry woman walked over, Stolls pushed me in front of them, using me as a shield.

"WELL DON'T JUST STAND THEIR ANSW- is that a mini Percy?"

I gave a small wave as the Stolls explained what was happening, looking like they were trying not to get killed in the process.

"I am Katie Gardner, former head counselor of the Demeter cabin, as I go to college, a survivor of the Second Titan and Giant Wars, and tamer of these two idiots."
