Hi, guys. This is my first fanfiction, so please don't flame and be mean, but constructive criticism is gratefully accepted! I'm really sorry if I end up forgetting that I have a story on fanfiction, but I'm not the best at remembering my past stories. Okay, author's note is over.

Annabeth's POV

Percy was coming down the path towards the beach in a big huff, and I was positive that the Stoll's had totally done something to him. Only Percy could have that goofy smile on his face, but still be in a huff at the same time. I realized that he was walking with someone. It was Rachel. I felt a stab of jealousy hit me, but I reminded myself that the cool redheaded oracle was one of my best friends. Chill, Annabeth.

"Hey, Percy!" I shouted, waving from the sand where I was sitting.

"Hi, Annabeth." Percy called back. I smiled and waved at Rachel. They came by me and plopped down in the sand.

"What's up? What did the unfortunate Stoll's do this time?" I asked curiously.

Percy rolled his eyes. "They drew mustaches, goatees, unibrows, and devil horns on all my pictures except one. So my pictures of Paul, Mom, Thalia, Grover, Nico, Rachel, Jason, Hazel, Piper, Leo, Reyna, Frank, and Chiron are totally ruined. They only missed the one I took of you falling into ocean when we went on that cruise for a week."

I remembered that. Percy, Grover, Leo, and I had gone on a cruise because Chiron thought we needed a break from camp. The sea captain had been extremely inexperienced, because every few moments, the boat jerked and rocked. I had fallen into the ocean about six times on my first three days. By the time we left, I had refused to leave my cabin for fear that I would fall off again. Thankfully, Lord Poseidon was extremely lenient of me, and didn't kill me or anything. Mom would have a fit, but Percy, who jumped in to save me each time, did look pretty good without his shirt on… I shook my head. What was I doing thinking of Percy like that? Sure, he was my boyfriend, but we had to have limits.

"So, how's our favorite daughter of Athena doing?" Rachel questioned, dipping her feet in the water that washed up to us.

"I'm doing great." I laughed.

Percy leaned over and grabbed my hands. I knew he liked playing with my fingers, so I scooted over so that I was next to him. He had made up some kind of game for playing with my hands, and he was obsessed with it. Anytime my hands didn't have anything important in them, they found their way into Percy's game.

"So how are things with Octavian?" I asked Rachel, who was looking at us with a small, knowing smile. Instantly a frown darkened her cheery features.

"He's driving me insane. He keeps mocking me, thinking that I don't have any powers at all. Just because I can't tell the future by murdering some poor stuffed animal." Rachel complained angrily.

"Maybe he just needs to see you actually reveal one of your prophecies before he believes it. You know what they say, seeing is believing." I suggested.

Rachel snorted. "That doesn't sound like Octavian. I'm surprised, Annabeth. I was expecting you to be the first to one to hate Octavian."

I shrugged sheepishly. "I think he's just kind of desperate for friends."

"He's not doing a very good job making any friends. More is like he's trying to find a way to blackmail everybody at camp." Percy frowned.

I kissed him on the cheek. "Well, he'll never find anything on any of us. Except maybe the Stoll's. Their list is probably a mile long. But knowing Travis and Connor, they'll have blackmail material on Octavian instead." Rachel and Percy burst out laughing.

"Hey, guys!" Leo yelled from somewhere. "Would you come back to camp now? Repeat, Jake, Percy, Rachel, Annabeth, and Drew, return to your cabins before Chiron skins your hide."

Leo had ingeniously put in a sound machine at camp, so that someone just had to speak into the microphone and their words would be heard all through Camp Half-Blood. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as great when you're working on a project with your boyfriend and Leo, who "accidently" turns on the microphone and leaves right before Percy asks you for a kiss to help him focus and forget his ADHD. I still blushed when I remembered that.

"Come on; let's go before Chiron 'skins our hides.'" Percy snickered at Leo's word choice. He kissed me, then stood up and yanked me up after him.

Okay, so that's my first chapter of my first fanfiction that is multiple chapters. I promise I'll try to remember to update frequently, but I am on the site often, so yeah. Just hope I don't run out of steam! Thanks, and pretty please review!
