Meeting Their Younger Selves

Chapter 15 - The Lightning Thief

"OK, OK, it all started a few months ago, at a School trip from Yancy Academy to a museum. . ." Percy began

"Ooh, interesting" AC said

"It was not," Percy replied, which Chiron gave a small grin for. "Anyway, there I met Alecto"

"Alecto!" Nico shouts

"He says it so casually" Leo said in awe

"Yes, Alecto. She was my Math teacher." Percy explained "Anyway, my Latin teacher, Mr Brunner, threw me an uncapped pen," Percy takes out his pen. "This pen turned into a sword, where I then swung my sword through Alecto killing her"

"No wonder why Alecto is pissed at you" Nico absent minded said

"As I was saying, the Mist was still affecting me, so I wasn't 100% sure what had happened, but I was almost definitely sure that something had happened because my best friend was a Goat Boy that can't lie to save his life" Percy continued

"Hey," Grover objected "I can lie to save my life. Do you remember the second quest?"

"Fine, he can barely lie to save his life. Is that better?" Percy asked

"Much," Grover nodded

"Anyway, Mr. Brunner asked for me to give him back his pen, which I did because I was still in a daze. I asked him about Alecto, but he claimed that she never existed." Percy said "So for the next few months until the end of the year. Over that time, I noticed that the weather was becoming very strange, and I was becoming moody because of it. Eventually I called my English teacher an old sot, which got me expelled."

"I still don't know what it means," PJ said

"Dionysus" Percy offered, which caused giggles from everyone that did know

"So, what does it mean?" Leo asked

"An old drunk" Annabeth told him.

"Oh," Leo realised "Definitely Dionysus."

"As I was saying, I eventually heard Grover and Mr. Brunner talking about me behind my back about something that was stolen" Percy continued

"What was stolen?" AC asked

"Spoilers" Percy, Annabeth and Grover all said

"Once the school year was done, Grover decided to follow me home, where I confronted him about overhearing him with Mr. Brunner," Percy said

"Gave me a heart attack at the same time" Grover mentioned

"Eventually the bus broke down, and we all had to get off, where I saw 3 old women making a pair of socks on the other side of the road, I saw them cut off a piece of blue string, and ball it up, before putting it away. We got back on the bus where Grover started freaking out."

"Why is that important Kelp Head?" Thalia asked

"Oh, they were the Fates" Percy mentioned

"You saw the Fates cut a string?" All of the futures yelled

"How are you alive?" Annabeth cried out

"Because I know whose string it was," Percy explained

After a minute, Travis said "Aren't you going to say whose string it was?"

"Nope," Percy denied grinning, earning a groan from everyone. "After me and Grover-"

"Grover and I" Annabeth corrected

"Grover and I got to the bus stop, I left him because he was scaring me. I made my home to the best woman in the universe, my Mother" Percy said, smiling at the end
