A/N Hi readers! This story is a little spin off from my other story ''Took You Long Enough", this story explains what Annabeth was talking about when she was searching for her red converse. Hope you enjoy! Please review!

Red Converse

They were sitting on the dock at Camp Half-Blood when he finally convinced himself to do it.

Percy Jackson had faced monsters and Titans and Gods wanting to kill him but he couldn't say the three words he wanted to say to Annabeth.

She looked great as usual in her Camp Half-Blood shirt, jean shorts and red converse with her signature ponytail.

He was trying to think of a special way to say the words to her, "How hard could it be just say it. I love you Annabeth." He thought as they sat there in peaceful silence when it finally came to him because of the black sharpie he had in his jeans pocket.

"Hey Wise Girl, wanna go for a swim?" he asked with a lopsided grin on his face.

She smiled at him "Sure Seaweed Brain let me just get my swimsuit" she said as she kicked off her converse and ran towards her cabin.

As soon as he saw her door close Percy grabbed her converse and set to work with the sharpie. Then set off to put on his swim trunks.

After he returned to the dock she came back to the dock a couple minutes later. She was wearing a two piece sea green swimsuit that made him swallow hard.

They swam and splashed around for about forty-five minutes until the moment of truth came. The both climbed back onto the dock and he dried the both of them off before she walked over to her converse and froze staring at them.

On the toes of the converse it read 'I love you' on the left shoe and '-Percy' on the other.

She turned around and kissed him hard on the mouth, when they broke apart she said "I love you too Seaweed Brain."

Percy then took her into his arms and jumped back into the lake.

Lets just say it was the second best underwater kiss of all time.
