Percy Jackson The Gender Shifter

Chapter 6-The ritual

A/N I somehow wrote this all in one day, I had one full free period. That helped a lot.

I don't own PJO or HoO, sadly. Rick Riordan does.

(Friday)

Aphrodite's PoV (Bet ya didn't see THAT coming!)

I couldn't wait for Percy and Annabeth to come to my temple! They've ALWAYS been my favorite couple!

"Eros! Where are you? Percy and Annabeth are going to be here today and you know that there needs to be two of us for the ritual!" I call out into the hallways of the temple.

"I'm coming! Just give me a second, Zeus tripped over in a parking lot while trying to impress a girl!" He replies, laughing so hard that I hear him fall off of his chair.

"Ow..." He groans as I walk into the room that he is in.

"Come on, chop chop!" I say, "You need to get the requirements on this list for the ritual to work."

I hand him a list with five items on it, simple to get.

"Eggs? Really?" He says, looking up at me from the floor.

I snatch the list back, looking at it for myself. Whoops. It's my shopping list. I conjure up the real list, giving it back to him. "Here."

"Lethe water? Okay, I can do that," He mutters to himself. "Pink gem and a blue gem from the Jenolan caves?! That's in Australia!"

"You're a god, dummy, flash there!"

He huffs, clearly annoyed about what he has to do. "Fine, give me ten minutes."

He flashes out in a blink of an eye, leaving me to tidy up my temple alone.

"Ugh!" I look around to see all of my make-up everywhere."I haven't cleaned in weeks! This is going to be SOOO hard!"

I snapped my fingers, instantly cleansing the walls, floors and doors.

All of my make-up was instantly packed away. I conjured up a couch for me to lay on as I waited for Eros.

After eternity, he finally comes back. "Mom, I'm back!"

"Oh, good!" Let me see!" I take the bag full of items from him, he sits down on the couch next to me.

I carefully open the bag, inside is exactly what I need. I pull out a pink gem, followed by a blue gem, then a bottle full of murky white Lethe water, then a purple gem, then finally a bottle containing a tiny part of Hermaphroditus' essence, which they give out to people in need, and Percy is in need.

"Perfect! Thanks Eros!" I chirp.

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..."

"Eros?" I look over at him to see him collapsed onto the couch, snoring away.

"Fine, you can sleep." I grumble.

^—--Time skip to about midday—--^

"Hello? Um, are you there, Aphrodite?"

I perked up at Percy's voice, they were finally here! I rushed to the door, swinging it open. There stood Percy and Annabeth.

"There's my favorite couple!"

Percy's Pov

I knock on the door, but no one answers. I look at Annabeth, but she just shrugs.

"The best idea I have is to insult her until she notices," She suggests, but even I know that that's not a good idea when Aphrodite is trying to help us.
