"Well if that is what you wish, then please come stand before my throne Calypso." Zeus said, his shock ringing with every word. But I didn't care what the gods thought or what my friends thought, all that mattered was that I finally get someone who will love me. And that is the best thing I could ever ask for.

"Yes sir Lord Zeus." Calypso said as she let go of my hands, winked at me, and started walking to the foot of the throne, that belonged to the King of the gods and Lord of the Sky.

"Well let's get started then." He said when she got there. "By the power placed in me, I hereby proclaim that you, Calypso, shall be a mortal girl the mere age of 14. And I strip you of your godly power, but leave all of your talents as you would have them if you were a mortal girl rather than a goddess at birth." He said and waved his hand over her head.

As he did so I watched as a small, thin wisp of golden light came from between her parted lips. It swirled up above her head and into the palm of Zeus and then, seemingly, disappeared as if it had never existed.

While all this was happening, her physical appearance changed. Her once long caramel colored hair grew even longer. It had started to grow from her shoulders and raced down her back and kept going past her hips, down to her thighs, and still raced on to her knees and then stopped once it reach her ankles.

From where I was standing I could see that her face was changing to. She had freckles pop up across the bridge of her nose and spray across her pale cheeks. I take that back. Her cheeks weren't pale anymore. All of her skin began to get a slight tan, not dark enough to make her look like a totally different person, just like she had went to the beach and came back with a slight tan. Her lip color changed to.

It went from a peachy color to a bright raspberry color that made her brightening eyes pop. Oh and her eyes. Holy Hera her eyes.

They still had an almond shape, but they went from a darker color to a bright, bright, almost electric blue, and I could see little flecks of emerald green, stormy gray, chestnut brown, and even some gold colored flecks.

And as suddenly as those changes had happened they stopped.

"Let me help you with that hair problem sugar." Aphrodite said. "And you could use a change of clothes now to."

And more changes happened. Her hair flew into a braid and then it went up into what looked like a crown. Then her white Greek style, floor length dress with a simple gold cord around the waist changed into a pair of dark black slightly ripped up skinny jeans and a white flowing tank top with little pink and yellow flowers on it and lace as a hem on the bottom. Her sandals changed into a pair of simple pale gold flatts with sparkles on them.

Well she certainly looks like a 14 year old, I thought to myself.

"Well all done. All wishes granted. Bye bye. Please don't come back for a while!" Zeus said and popped us into Percy's parent's living room, where his mom and stepdad, Sally and Paul, were watching tv and looked quite surprised when 'their little heroes' popped in out of nowhere.

"So how did it go?" Sally asked turning the tv off.

"It went great." Percy said looping his arm around Annabeth.

Jason did the same to Reyna, Frank did the same to Hazel, Tyson did the same to Ella. Nico just stood there looking really out of place along with Coach and Piper. But me, I followed suit and put my arm around Calypso who, in turn, put her head on my shoulder.

"Who's the girl you have there Valdez?" Paul asked me, raising his eyebrows at me.

"Well," I replied, "this is my Sunshine."
