Chapter 1

Books fall from the Sky

Author's notes: I don't own anything except for the idea.

Summary: Nico, Reyna, and The Seven get sent to read the Heroes of Olympus Books. After all in Order for them to succeed they have to all be able to work together. They have to be able to trust each other. And for that to happen they can't have any secrets.

It was a normal day for the Demigods and Satyr. The seven were on their way to defeat Gaea and Nico, Reyna, and Coach Hedge were on their way to deliver the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half-Blood. And to stop Octavian and prevent the war from happening between the two camps.

Percy approached Jason. "Did I do something to offend Nico?"

"No," Jason shook his head, "Why would you think that?"

"It's just...When I talked to him before he left he seemed to be cold and…distant. Do you know anything about that?"

"Nope."

"You're lying." The son of Poseidon accused. "Piper, Leo and Hazel have said that you and Nico have been acting different ever since the both of you went to retrieve the scepter to get Annabeth and I out of… you know." Tartarus.

"Look it's none of your business." Jupiter's son snapped, "Nico is fine." Jason began to walk away. Percy trailed behind him.

"What did I do to make him mad?"

"Nothing."

"Then why was he acting cold?!"

"Look, just drop it okay?!"

"Okay both of you just calm down!" Annabeth ordered. The two boys were having a glaring contest.

"What's going on?" Frank asked appearing with Hazel at his side.

"I don't know." Annabeth admitted, "I came up here and found Jason and Percy about to kill each other."

"What's the matter with you two?" Hazel demanded.

"Nothing." Jason said quickly, shooting Percy another glare. "Nothing at all." He turned and walked away.

"I'll try to talk to him." Piper offered. "Find out what's happening."

"That would be good." Annabeth gave her a tentative smile. Piper left in search of her boyfriend.

"So…" Leo said.

Piper caught up to Jason and took his hand. "What's the matter Jason? What's going on?"

Jason sighed. Nico had asked him not to tell anyone about what had happened in Croatia. He wasn't going to betray the Son of Hades' trust by telling everyone what had happened. "Percy and I had a disagreement, that's all."

"It seemed like more than a disagreement." Piper said, "You two looked about ready to kill each other."

"Look I promised someone that I wouldn't say anything, and I'm going to keep that promise." And with that statement The Son of Jupiter walked away, leaving Piper to ponder what Jason had meant.

Reyna and Nico had arrived at their first stop via shadow traveling. Nico looked absolutely exhausted.

"I'll take the first watch." Reyna informed them.

Nico nodded and proceeded to lay down and try to catch some sleep. Coach Hedge went off to do who knows what and Reyna was left to keep an eye on the sleeping Son of Hades and the Athena Parthenos.

It was early the next morning when it happened. Everything was going smoothly and then all of a sudden time froze. The birds froze in flight, the water stopped moving, and everything except for themselves had frozen. Even the Satyr, Coach Hedge was frozen in time with an enchilada in his hand about to take a bite of it.

Then the strangest thing happened they were blinded by a bright flash of light and they disappeared. When the light faded they found themselves aboard the Argo II with the Seven Heroes of Olympus staring at them.

"What just happened?" Nico turned to Reyna and asked.

"I have no clue." She responded.

After a few moments of silence Percy spoke. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Yeah, you're supposed to be with Coach Hedge taking the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half-Blood to stop the war between the Camps." Annabeth added.

"That's what we'd like to know." Reyna responded.

"Nico, Coach Hedge and I were eating and then all of a sudden… time just completely stopped." Reyna explained, "Coach Hedge completely froze but Nico and I didn't."

Jason's brow furrowed in thought. "You know the same thing happened to me before my first quest." He began to explain his frozen in time experience with Hera/Juno speaking to him.

"Do you think she's behind all of this?" Piper asked gesturing all around them to the frozen in time sequence that seemed to be happening all around them.

"It's possible." Jason replied. When he finished speaking a pile of books fell from out of nowhere and landed at their feet.

Hazel, and Frank picked up the books. Hazel began to read off the titles. "Percy Jackson and The Olympians: Book 1: The Lightning Thief, Book 2: The Sea of Monsters, Book 3: The Titans Curse, Book 4: The Battle of the Labyrinth, and Book 5: The Last Olympian."

Frank looked at the books in his hands and read the titles aloud. "The Heroes of Olympus: Book 1: The Lost Hero, Book 2: The Son of Neptune, Book 3: The Mark of Athena and Book 4: The House of Hades."

Leo then reached out to catch a piece of paper that floated down from the air. He began to read aloud to the other Demigods. "Dear the seven, plus Reyna and Nico, I have decided that in order for my plan to succeed you must be able to trust each other. And for that to be possible you must have no secrets between any of you. So I have sent these books for all of you to read and learn about your fellow demigods and friends. Time will be frozen during the time spent reading these books. –Hera/Juno."

The Demigods looked at one another. "Should we read the books?" Frank asked.

"I don't think it would be wise to ignore Lady Juno…Hera's wishes." Reyna began, "I think that we should read these books and maybe then we'll all be able to trust each other, without having any doubts."

Annabeth nodded in agreement. "If this may somehow help us defeat Gaea and trust each other, I have no problem reading the books." Annabeth looked to the others for their answers. "What about the rest of you?" The other demigods nodded and mumbled their agreements.

"All right then," Leo clapped his hands in anticipation. "Let's get started, who's going to read first?"

They all looked at each other. "I guess I will." Annabeth stepped up. She grabbed the book and began to read. "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Book 1: The Lightning thief."

Chapter 1: I accidentally vaporize my Pre-algebra teacher

"Oh great." Percy groaned putting his head in his hands, "This is in my Point of view isn't it?" Annabeth nodded. "Great, just great." The daughter of Athena began to read again.
