Percy Jackson fanfiction listening to the musical AO3

Chapter Text

Percy was reeling the events of the summer playing in his head, from finding out that his dad was a god, to Luke his... Friend trying to kill him. He was with his mom, he had been very clingy lately, scared she was going to disappear again. He was awfully jumpy, the things he did over the summer were amazing but scary, he almost died multiple times, along with his friends Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood.

“Do I have to go to school again? Can’t I be homeschooled, mom?” He asked from her side, blue cookies on his lap.

“Percy this school is going to be good for you, trust me, try for me, and if you really can’t do it we can try homeschooling. I promise.” His mom, Sally Jackson said stroking her son’s hair, a smile on her lips. Percy looked up, opening his mouth to agree when a bright flash obstructed his vision, the next thing he knew he was on a bench outside.

“What in the world?” he said looking around seeing his mom and moving back to her. “Wait.. are we at camp?” he whispered his mom pulling him close he sat up properly and looked around more, his vision still a little blurry from the light, but he could make out a few other people. “How did we get here?” Percy was obviously not the only one confused as he could hear yells of ‘what is happening’ and other words he’d rather not repeat near his mother.

“Percy!” he heard turning he seen Annabeth and Grover running to him, he got up and hugged them both, it had been a few weeks since he had seen them both. “What’s happening, do you know?” Annabeth spoke, her blonde hair loose and grey eyes wide, Percy smiled at her before shaking his head.

“No clue..you’re hair is down, I like it.” The son of the sea god spoke before he turned a deep red, and turned back to his mom. “U-uh, mom this is Annabeth you met once.., you already know Grover.”

Sally smiled and stood, Percy, going to her side as she shook Annabeth’s hand and hugged Grover. “Good to see you again Grover, and Annabeth, Percy has told me so much about you.”

“OKAY, THAT’S ENOUGH OF THAT.” Percy squawked out his face a deep red, he heard a noise and immediately pulled out Riptide, and uncapped it, there was another blinding flash and all of a sudden there were more people in the camps dining hall, Percy opened his eyes and blinked a few times. “Dad?” He spoke his eyes wide, he turned to his mom and saw her blushing, a disgusted noise leaving him as he realized why she was blushing. “Aw gross..”

“Why are we here, why is there a mortal here, I demand answers!” Zeus yelled, his voice booming, the air getting heavy.

“We haven’t figured that out yet lord Zeus,” spoke Chiron, who was standing in the middle of the dining hall his tail swishing slightly. “Campers, please sit, it would be best for their godly parents to sit with them, but that is a pure suggestion.” All the demigods went to their cabins tables, Percy sat back down, his mom on one side and his dad joining him on his other, a small smile on his lips, Annabeth and Grover waved and went to their cabin tables, Annabeth’s mom next to her.

A loud boom sounded before there was a voice, “Welcome back, today you will be listening to Percy Jackson the lightning thief the musical, but these are each of you singing, don’t worry about how just know it’s you. Have fun!”

Everyone turned to Percy and he looked down at his hands, putting his face into his mom’s shoulder, hearing aphrodite and her children squeal at them, which made Percy blush again.

“Well then, let us begin.”

Chapter Text

Percy Jackson sat right at the end of the Hermes Cabin bench. Everybody around him was eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Looking around, Percy knew that he should be too. This place, Camp Half Blood, was meant to be where he belonged, but with his mom gone, the point of laughing didn’t seem too enjoyable.

“Hey Percy, you alright?”
Luke Castellan, the head of the Hermes cabin, chose to sit on the floor next to Percy. He was looking at him with concern because Percy hadn’t said a word since Luke had shown him what do at dinner. For example, burning offerings to the gods.

“Y-Yeah, I’m good,” he shrugged. “Well as good as I can be.”

“You know Percy, if you ever need to talk; you can always come to your total badass councillor.” Luke grinned.

Percy smiled. How bad can things get from here?

As if the fates themselves were listening to Percy’s thoughts, the sky around Camp Half Blood darkened and rain fell from the sky.

Shocked and scared voices filled the air until they were as loud as shouts.

“What’s going on?” Percy yelled over all the noise. “I thought it didn’t rain here!”

“It doesn’t.” Luke said grimly. He looked frightened and that sent a chill down Percy’s back.

“Campers!” A voice yelled from the head table. Everyone fell silent. Percy was expecting it to be Chiron the activities manager but to his surprise it was Mr. D. The Satyrs that sat at the head table with him jumped in fright at his shout.

“Normally I would just leave you here to discover what harmful creature can cause this and probably kill you, but since your parent may be a little angry, I’m ordering you all to go back to your cabins, until I figure out what’s wrong.”

Shouts filled the air again as the campers protested against hiding in their cabins. The noise was becoming unbearable until Chiron finale stomped his hooves. “Listen to Mr D,” he said calmly. “And go to your cabins.”

The Demeter cabin stood up first and walked in a line lead by a tall brown haired girl. Just as they were about to step off the dining area and onto the pathway, they hit an invisible barrier. Suddenly, they were all back sitting on their bench.

Before anyone could react, a blazing light appeared then disappeared leaving a piece of paper in its wake.

Chiron retrieved note and read aloud what was written.

“ Dear Camp Half Blood,
Our apologies for the rain but we wanted your attention before sending this note. We wanted to give you the chance to see how this summer’s future may look like. You’ll be listening to a handful of songs made in an alternate dimension where you all are just story characters and myths.

Your parents, only the Gods, will also be joining you. Do not worry, we have told them all this and more, so you don’t need to explain. No one is allowed to leave until this is over, that’s why we have a barrier in place.

Listen to what you hear,
The Fates.”

Another light filled the atmosphere but this time revealing 13 adults. Everybody knelt and Percy rushed to copy them.

“Rise children. I’m sure the situation has been explained you. I say we get started before the world falls into chaos.”

‘Why would the world fall into chaos?’ Percy thought. ‘Unless- no- no way were these the gods, they were so ordinary!’

“Perhaps Lord Zeus,” ZEUS! What the- “ you should all introduce yourselves, so our newest members don’t get confused.”

Like it was rehearsed, all the campers looked in Percy’s direction. The gods followed their line of sight directly onto Percy.

Zeus narrowed his eyes at him. He looked like he was about to say something but he shook his head and faced Chiron instead. “Yes, of course Chiron. That seems like a good idea.

“I’ll shall go first. I am Lord Zeus, as you all know.”
Zeus was wearing a pinstripe business suit. His hair was almost golden and his eyes were the same colour as the skies.

Another man stepped forward. He was taller than Zeus by a few inches. He was wearing khaki shorts, a Hawaiian shirt and a fishing hat. He had black hair almost as messy as Percy’s and eyes that seem to flicker from very dark blue to green. “I’m Poseidon- no need for all that lord nonsense.”

Percy smiled. Poseidon was going to be one of his favourite gods if he acted like that. He wondered if his would be jealous? He mentally scoffed. His dad wouldn’t care.

The next man had an aura of coldness clouded around him. He wore all blacks, had black locks and black eyes, which contrasted with his pale face. “I am Hades.”

The introduction went on like this. There was Hera, Demeter, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Apollo, Hermes, Ares, Hephaestus and Hestia.

Hestia was another one of Percy’s favourites so far. She reminded him of his mother. His mood darkened as he remembered his mother and her tragic fate.

“Before we begin, I would like the head of each cabin to introduce themselves as well and state your godly parent. I suggest the gods sit on their benches after their child has introduced themselves.”

The benches magically became longer and Luke was no longer sitting on the floor next to Percy but on the bench.

Zeus, Poseidon, and Artemis and Hera went to sit down because they didn’t have any children. Hestia joined Artemis on her table and Hades sat at the head table since they didn’t have one for themselves. Grover bleated in fear as he was the one who was next Hades.

The tall brown haired girl, who leading the Demeter cabin out of here before all this stood up. “My name is Miranda Gardener and I’m the daughter of Demeter.”

Demeter smiled at her and went to join her children, who looked both eager and unsure to have her.

The first person Percy saw at camp, Annabeth, stood up. He wondered how she earned being cabin councillor since she was only twelve like him.
“I’m Annabeth Chase and I’m the the head of the Athens Cabin.”

A beautiful young girl stood up next. “I’m Silena Beauregard and Aphrodite’s my mother.”

A lean blonde stood up next. “I’m Lee Fletcher and the head of the Apollo cabin.”

Percy’s least favourite camper stood up after that. “Clarisse La rue, daughter of Ares.”

A tall muscled young man stood next. “I’m Charles Beckondorf, head of Hephaestus’ cabin.”

Next to Percy, Luke stood up. “Luke Castellan, Hermes cabin.” He said shortly.

Hermes came and sat on the opposite side of Luke, who tensed.

Percy leaned towards him and whispered, “Are you okay?”

Luke nodded, but didn’t give a verbal response or even look in his direction, just straight ahead.

Percy frowned in concern. Why was suddenly so shut off? Was it because of Hermes?

“Come on now,” Apollo said grinning. “ Let’s listen to some music.”
