oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo

i groaned as i stirred, sitting up in my bed.

everything is just like it was yesterday morning; clothes on the chair, bookbag by the door, shoes scattered, sunlight coming in weakly through the curtain covered window.

hang on a second.

i stared baffled for a long moment.

i'm home!

i scrambled out of bed, knocking over a pillow and promptly slipping on it. i scrambled back to my feet and hurried to the bathroom.

looking in the mirror, i saw myself.

just me, no random girl's annabeth's body. my black hair, my pale skin, my green eyes. it's just me.

i rubbed my arm where a ring of

uises had formed, gabe.

i hope mom is okay.

…

mom!

oo

i blinked slowly, rubbing my eyes to get rid of the crusty remains of sleep.

my room was just like i left it; lego on the floor, books on the bookshelf, sunlight streaming in through the slightly open window.

...wait.

i blinked once more in confusion.

i'm back home!

i shot up, clambering out of bed so quickly i nearly got tangled up in my blankets and knocked over my forgotten lego pantheon.

there, in the mirror, was me.

normal me, no foreign boy's percy's body. my blonde hair, my tanned skin, my grey eyes. me.

i let out a hiss of pain when i saw the spider bites scattered across my body. tears sprang to my eyes, will my dad even believe me when i tell him about them?

…

my dad!

oo

i bolted out of the bathroom, nearly tripping over some of gabe's boots.

"mom! mom!" i called, nearly running into a wall.

i darted through the door to the kitchen, ignoring gabe, as my mom finished setting out

eakfast.

"mom!"

she smiled down at me, holding out a hand to help steady me.

"good morning percy, what has got you so excited?"

i beamed, wrapping her in a quick tight hug before beaming up at her.

"i switched bodies!"

oo

i ran down the stairs, skipping steps in my rush.

"dad! dad!" i called, jumping the last step.

i rounded a corner to barrel full speed into my dad as he left the dining room.

"dad!"

he frowned down at me, grabbing me by my shoulders to steady me.

"what is it annabeth? you'll wake the neighbors with all your shouting at this rate."

i gave him a quick hug and grinned up at him ecstatic.

"i switched bodies!"

oo

"i switched bodies and i was a girl named annabeth"

"what?" my mom looked at me with a slight frown "what do you mean?"

i hopped from one foot to the other in excitement, "i woke up in this other girl's body! her name is annabeth, i'm not sure about her last name, and she's got blonde hair and grey eyes and lives in a nice house!"

i frowned, "but i'm not sure where it is."

oo

"i switched bodies and i was this boy named percy!"

"what?" my dad shared a concerned look with his wife. "what are you going on about?"

i waved my hands around in excitement, "i woke up in this other boy's body! his name is percy jackson, that's what he wrote on his drawings, and he's got black hair and green eyes and he lives in another city!"

i frowned, "or maybe another country? i know he speaks english, and there wasn't any accent, so it's here in america, right?"

oo

"that's very interesting percy, are you sure it wasn't a dream?"

gabe scoffed, "please, the

at is lying. just an attention hound."

i scowled, he always says that! he never believes me about anything, but mom does!
