The Seven and Others in High School

Annabeth - Like a Genie in a Bottle

They went inside and the television turned on. Zeus appeared, "demigods! Please come to Olympus for dinner and a celebration tonight at six."

Percy grinned, "no party!"

"There'll be a party."

"Of course, how stupid of me."

Aphrodite reminded Zeus of the party they were invited to, who responded with, "I knew that. I just meant the party will go on..."

"We believe you," Percy said.

"Hmmph, well, that's all."

Aphrodite had a close-up, "actually, I'd like you to be here as soon as possible. As in, leave now. In Nico's limo. I'll make it longer for you."

After dressing, hair and makeup, the demigods waited backstage.

Aphrodite said, "here comes Mr. Percy Jackson!" After a few minutes, she called Annabeth out. Once they were all called out, she let Zeus take the floor.

"Heroes!" His voice boomed. "We've decided to grant you each a wish. You've done so much for all of us. Percy?"

"I'd like for my mom to never have to work for anything again."

"Very well. Annabeth?"

"May I say something to one of the Olympians without punishment or it not being seen on Live television?"

"Your wish is granted." She slowly turned to Hera and walked, her heels clicking on the marble floor. Hera looked at her in disgust.

"How dare you?! You took the only thing keeping me sane away from me?! You made me undergo the Mark of Athena! You sent us to tartartus! You don't care about us! How dare you sit in that throne and act like you saved everyone! What did you do?! You took the greatest hero known to man away from us! You did nothing for us!" At that point, she was sobbing, Percy came walking out to her, engulfing her in a hug.

He spoke on her ear, "Wise Girl, hey, it's okay. You're okay. I'm okay. We're okay. We made it through that. We don't need to worry about anything. If she didn't do that, we wouldn't be the Seven. We wouldn't know them. I agree, who cares about the greater good? Hey, we have friends, though. It was worth it." They stood there as Zeus continued.

"Jason, Grace, my son. What is your wish?"

"I wish for Piper to know what happened between me and Reyna the other day."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"If you're certain.

Piper gasped, " Jason?!You--You-- how could you?! I can't believe it! What happened to us?! Here I was, thinking you cared about me! YOU'RE AS BAD AS HERCULES! " The girls ran over to her and she explained. Jason just stood there. When she was done, even the guys were glaring at him. "I thought I meant something to you."

Zeus cleared his throat, "Piper, your wish?"

"I wish...I wish I could...I can't. I can't think straight. It wouldn't be safe or wise of me to make a wish right now."

"Very wise, Frank?"

"The archery practice shown in the Catching Fire movie with monsters instead of people."

"It's in your room. Hazel?"

"I wish I could communicate with Arion like Percy."

"Done, Leo?"

"I wish I had am infinite source of celestial bronze."

"Like father like son...Calypso?"

"I have everything I ever wanted. I need no more."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, thank you, all of you."

"You're very welcome. Will?"

"To be able to save all my patients."

"A true, pure soul. Nico?"

"Warped tour every place every year. Enough money to buy whatever I want."

"Okay..? I guess we can do that."

"They're some of my favorite bands in concerts."

"Oh, okay. Cool."

"May I be in the front and the center each time?"

"Yes."

"Thank you."

"You're very welcome."

"You're free to go," Aphrodite said. Piper ran to the limo. Annabeth couldn't blame her.

They followed her, walking. Jason tried running after her but Percy held him back, not very gently. When they made it to the limo, Perce pushed him into their row of seats.
