No ship.
Percy opened his eyes.
He was expecting to see the sea-blue walls of Cabin Three.
Instead, he saw white walls, and a nurse watching a machine.
"Wh-what's going on?"
Why am I struggling to speak? Percy thought.
I was speaking fine just yesterday.
"Oh-oh my god!"
"You're awake!"
"Yes, I am. Now tell me, why am I in a hospital?"
"You were in a coma," the nurse explained, "you have been for the past five years."
"Wait, what? But just yesterday I was hanging out with Piper..."
"It seems, sir, you have had a very vivid dream during your coma."
"But, but Annabeth, and Jason and Piper, and Grover, and Frank, and Hazel, and Leo, and Will, and Nico!"
"I'm sorry, sir, but those people don't exist. They are fragments of your imagination."
But they seem so real!
They can't be dreams! Percy thought.
But, they were dreams, and Percy had to deal with it.
"You were at a school trip to a museum, and you had fallen on the steps leading to the courtyard."
"So Grover was real?"
"If Grover was your friend at this school, then yes."
So Mrs. Dodds really was just a normal teacher.....
AN: Okay, you can yell at me in the comments now.
I'm sorry, but I saw a headcanon about this, and had to write it.
So, basically, everything is the same up until Percy goes back into the museum with Mrs. Dodds in Chapter 1 of TLT.
He tripped, and fell into a coma.
From then on, everything was his imagination.
Got it?

(People with Samsungs will understand that, I think)
