1. Delete it

2. Rewrite it

3. Slog my way through and hope it sorta matches at the end lol

Annabeth's POV

*BOOM* I felt my vision go blurry...and then I was out cold.

(Groan) I opened my eyes slowly to see…the twelve Olympians? And Hades sulking in a corner? What happened? I looked around to see everyone in the bus had been carried with us.

I looked for my mother, Athena to see if she could clue me in on what was happening. One by one, the others started waking up too with looks of awe and disgust on their faces.

"Mortals take so long to wake up." Demeter complained, "If only they ate more cereal." Have I ever mentioned how much she gets on my nerves?

"That's enough Demeter." Hades snapped, "We have more important matters at hand. Like where the Tartarus is my son?"

"And who is that girl who was with him?" Zeus asked. Everyone looked at him with open mouths, "What?" he added defensively.

"Um…Lord Zeus?" I said, not knowing where my courage was coming from.

"What?" he snapped. My mother looked at me and nodded.

"That girl…her name is Thalia Grace. She's your daughter." There was a long silence before Zeus start cracking up. He was laughing so hard that I heard lightning and thunder outside.

"Foolish little girl. You honestly think I'd forget if I had a daughter? I haven't had a daughter in over five centuries!" he continued laughing.

My anger took over my senses, "You have a daughter! And her name is Thalia! And she's stuck with Nico in Ancient Greece."

There was dead silence and the gods looked…scared?

Athena spoke up, "You're quite sure? That they're stuck in the past?"

I was confused, "Yes. I Iris Messaged Thalia only two hours ago. I mean no disrespect, but as the gods shouldn't you have known that?"

"Whoa whoa whoa. So my son is stuck in the past with the Sky Spawn?" Hades spat.

"SHE'S NOT MY DAUGHTER!" Zeus roared.

"Yes she is!" everyone exclaimed. Then I noticed one person who hadn't said anything: Hera.

"Lady Hera." I said hesitantly, "You seem to have no opinion on the parentage of Thalia Grace?" Everyone then turned to look at her. She shifted uneasily.

"Yes, Hera." Zeus said slowly, "What exactly is the meaning of this?"

"Well…erm…I sortamodifiedyourmemory." She said quickly.

"What was that? Speak up!" Hephaestus said smirking.

"I may have modified your memory after Thalia was born…but I had a good reason! You were cheating on me again!" Hera glared.

"SO YOU DARED TO MODIFY MY MEMORY, MAKE ME FORGET I HAD A DAUGHTER, AND THEN KEPT HER FROM ME FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS?" Zeus thundered. (A/N: See what I did there? ;) )

"Um…yeah?" I was pretty impressed that Hera hadn't vanished by now. Zeus was livid.

Athena coughed, "Erm Father?"

Zeus turned to her, "What?"

"We still have the problem of the demigods stuck in the past." All the gods' faces paled.

"Mother?" I asked, "Why exactly is this problem? Surely you can bring them back?"

Athena was silent before saying, "It's not as simple as that. The last time a rip in time and space was made was around the time of the Mortal's World War Two. Three foolish daughters of the Big Three had been messing around with their powers and opened a rip in space. They entered the ancient world…and old and powerful forces were awakened. Or reawakened is more accurate. Artemis was captured by the Titans during that time and the three daughters nearly destroyed both the ancient and modern world. Luckily they were somehow able to bring save Artemis and put the world back into balance, but there the affect left on the world is what you call World War Two. I guess you could say it was the most "minimal" damage that could be done but you know how terrible the outcome was.

That's why the Big Three made a pact to have no more children (fools, didn't stick to that) and no longer trusted female demigods. That's why Artemis is kept in Olympus at all times, to make sure she is never recaptured and that the Titans are never awakened. The one time you met Artemis was when she had escaped and Zeus had to bring her back."

There was a long pause as we tried to digest this information.

Percy broke the silence, "So Thalia and Nico have to save Artemis or the world goes BOOM?" What an eloquent guy.

"Yup." Apollo said. Another guy of many words.

"Are the okay?" Silena asked, her voice squeaking slightly, "I mean Thalia's really responsible and she's really cutthroat and she'd never do anything stupid and she's very serious and - "

"Um, about that." Aphrodite said. We all looked at her, "I may have…modified Thalia's personality."

"What?"

"YOU FOOL!"

"We're screwed!"

"You're so stupid!"

"PINEAPPLE." That was Percy.

"BE QUIET!" Hades yelled. We were quiet.

Aphrodite was biting her lip nervously, "Well you see here…I thought Thalia and Nico made the cutest couple ever, right? But Thalia's really serious and she's all like: I'M-AN-ASSASSIN-AND-I-DON'T-LIKE-HAVING-FUN-OR-BEING-NICE and how could she attract Nico with that kind of attitude? So I kinda tweaked it to make her more fun and bubbly. Granted, the first day was pretty hard because I needed to mess with her hormones…poor boy Nico, had to endure several insults about how 'girly' his hair looked and how 'depressing' he was…and a side effect was Thalia was hungry for no reason…but its working!" she ended gleefully.

*facepalm* was the general consensus.

"So to recap…" Percy began, "Hera hid a daughter from Zeus, Thalia and Nico have to save Artemis or the world goes into World War Three, and Aphrodite's trying to match make them at the same time?"

"Sounds about right." Ares grunted.

"And there's nothing we can do?" I felt my voice tremble.

"Nope."

"But - "

"No."

"Maybe we - "

"Nada."

"Please - "

I glared at Ares and turned back to my mother, "You're a god! Shouldn't you be able to do something!"

"We cannot interfere with the past." Athena said cryptically, or as I'd like to say, annoyingly.

"They've been there for only two hours though…" I trailed off.

"Actually they've been there for two or three days." Apollo said.

"But only two hours have passed."

"Time moves faster in the past." Well. There's a fun fact I need to remember for cocktail parties.

"You will remain here." Zeus declared, "I will have no more demigods running around interefering with the forces of nature until the Dead Spawn and my daughter return safely. Actually as long as my daughter returns, I don't really care about the other one."

Ugh.
