Charlize was so thoroughly bored, she could've fallen asleep in her spaghetti. Her mom Danielle had decided to take her out to dinner for her birthday, to this fancy restaraunt suggested by Danielle's new boyfriend Mitchell. Charlize hadn't wanted to turn down her mother, but she much prefered a home cooked meal of meatballs with extra sauce and spirally pasta. The best this restaraunt could do was boring old spaghetti bolognaise with not enough meat and sauce, and long thin pasta. But Chalize couldn't say no to her mom, so here they were, eating bad spaghetti and being bored. Danielle was currently talking to Mitchell about something to do with work. Charlize had never met her father, and her mom always said he wasn't worth talking about, so she didn't ask anymore.
"Charlize?" Danielle asked. She looked up from her pasta, "Hm?"
"Mitchell asked you a question."
Charlize looked at Mitchell, who smiled at her, "I asked if you enjoyed last semester at school?"
She looked back at her pasta, "It was alright. But home is better."
She looked at her mom, "Are we going to Grandpa's house this summer?"
Danielle frowned, "I don't know sweetie. I... Your dad wants to see you."
Charlize sat up straight, "My dad?"
Her mom nodded, "He wanted to see you today, but he was busy."
"Oh."
Charlize stomach churned with bad pasta. Her dad. Did she want to meet her dad? What was he like? Was he as bad as mom made it seem? She looked around the restaranut, and her eyes froze on a man who was staring at her from another table, a smirk on his handsome face. He looked like he was in his twenties, with raven black hair and sparkling sea green eyes that had a kind of intelligence behind them. He had a mediterranean complexion that really brought out the colour in his eyes. He wore a black turtleneck sweater and had a blazer draped over the back of his chair. He held a glass of red wine in his hand, and he raised it to her. Sitting next to him was a woman in a long black gown and black heels. She had blonde hair pinned in a bun at the nape of her neck. 
"Mom?" She said. Danielle looked at her, "Yes?"
"I'm going to the bathroom."
She stood up and walked over to the door that signalled the girl's bathroom and walked in. She walked up to the mirrors and looked at herself. Something about that man had unsettled her. He looked too familiar for her liking. Now, as she looked at herself, she realised what it was. Her face shape, her green eye colour, her mediterranean complexion, the intelligence in her eyes. He was familiar because she looked at that face every day, in the mirror. Could that be...
The door slammed open, and the man walked in. Charlize spun around in terror, gripping the edge of the sink until her knuckles went white.
"Th-this is the girls bathroom!" She said. He chuckled, registering her fear. Suddenly his body began to change, becoming slimmer, more feminine. His hips curved, creating an hourglass shape. His shirt, jacket and pants morphed into a longsleeved turtleneck dress. His black hair grew out, till it was hanging just below his shoulders. Charlize watched in horror as the man turned into a woman. She smiled at Charlize, "How's this honey?"
"How'd you do that?"Charlize asked. The woman smiled, "I'm the god of change sweetie. Or goddess, if you will."
Charlize backed further away from her. She rolled her eyes and turned back into a man, "I'm Perseus, the God of Change, leader of Olympus. I'm your father."

A/N: Read on till the end to figure out what Percy means when he says he's the god of change and the leader of Olympus.  It may be confusing now, but it will make sense later.
