OK, so here is chapter one, but first let me say this: I DO NOT IN ANY WHICH WAY SHAPE OR FORM OWN THE PERCY JACKSON SERIES! Now that that's over, on with the story!

Chapter 1- The Accident

"Campers," Chiron called for attention at the camp fire, "As you probably know, the 4th of July fireworks on firework beach is coming up. Get you dates ready and be at the beach at sunset."

Percy gulped; he knew the 4th of July fireworks were the biggest dating thing at Camp Half-blood. He wanted to go but he didn't want to look stupid without a date.

He thought of asking Annabeth to go with him as a friend, but quickly shook the idea out of his head, that would be too weird.

He spotted Annabeth talking to one of the new Aphrodite campers, he felt a ping of jealousy but pushed it away thinking, 'Their just talking. Completely innocent...right?'

The next day Percy saw the same Aphrodite guy Annabeth was talking to last night walking by with his arm around a daughter of Demeter whose name escapes Percy. (A: N/ Seaweed doesn't hold memories too well ;) )

He also saw Annabeth walking toward him with them in her view. So as her friend he decided to distract her from seeing it.

"Annabeth there's something in my eye! Owe, look." he started shifting from foot to foot, covering his eyes with his hands to keep her attention on him as the new kid walked behind her.

Annabeth, completely unaware of her friend's actions, but her hands on his shoulders to steady him so she could get a better look at his eye. After a quick look Annabeth pulled back and crossed her arms across her chest and said annoyed, "It's your finger."

Percy stopped hopping and held his finger at arm's length and laughed, "Oh, ha ha, how'd that get there?"

Someone gasped from behind her and Annabeth turned around, standing there in all her mini skirt and tight tank top glory was Drew. She's a daughter of Aphrodite and has had it out for Annabeth since she arrived to camp.

"Josh has a fresh crush and her name isn't Annabeth Chase." She went from shocked to smug.

Percy freaked out, "Ah ha Drew." He held up his arms and one of his legs to protect himself like Drew was going to attack him.

"Percy really, it's no big. There was nothing between us in the first place." Annabeth shrugged.

Drew held up her hand in the traditional 'talk to the hand' gesture, said "So in denial." and walked away.

Percy gave her two thumbs up, "Why to keep the Anna-poster, its brave the way you mask the Josh pain." He put his hand on her shoulder.

"Seriously," Annabeth grabbed his wrist and pulled it off her shoulder with a smile, "Nothings there, I thought you'd be the bummed one."

Percy was confused, "Me, why?"

"Tara…" Percy mentally face palmed, that's what her name was.

"What about her?" Percy asked, still not seeing the point

"Well she used to like you." Annabeth crossed her arms again and raised an eyebrow at her seaweedbrained friend, "You mean you never noticed?"

"No!" Percy face palmed for real this time, "Why didn't you tell me?" he yelled. But he really didn't care if she liked him or not.

Grover clopped up to them, "Hey I just heard Josh and Tara are together, how you taking it buddy?" he asked putting his hand on his best friends shoulder much like Percy had done earlier for Annabeth.

Percy rubbed his eyes like he didn't believe it, "What, Grover you too? But- awe!" He face palmed again.

Annabeth laughed, "Don't do that so much SeaweedBrain! You'll give yourself a concussion!"

She and Grover started laughing their butts off as Percy glared at them.

"Please tell me there's more to you coming over here." Percy pleaded.

Grover clutched his side but managed to stop laughing long enough to say, "Yeah, Beckendorf made some kind of emotion device and wants to show us. Come on, Thalia and Nico are waiting."

"Let's go!"

~~~~In the Hephaestus Cabin~~~~

"Hey Thals, Nico, Silena, Beckendorf." Annabeth greeted her friends.

There was a chorus of 'Heys' before Percy spoke:

"What cha make Beckendorf?"

"Ohhh!" Silena cooed, "Tell them Charles!"

"Well it's a device that controls the wearer's emotions." He said while holding up two round disks of metal with small spikes surrounding a tiny screen.

"Well show us!" Thalia said excitedly.

"OK!" Beckendorf placed one of the disks on his neck and grabbed a controller from his bed and hit a button and got a wild look in his eye and suddenly went into a state of rage. Silena hit a button on the controller and Beckendorf stopped and grabbed Silena's hand. "Oh Silena, you have the most amazing eyes I've ever seen!"

Silena giggled and hit another button on the controller. Beckendorf suddenly started crying. "You didn't like the necklace I gave you for your birthday did you? I knew it!" he started balling at this point.

Silena giggled again and pushed yet another button and Beckendorf stopped crying and started laughing uncontrollably.

His friends watched with amusement as he rolled all around the floor laughing until Silena hit the button and Beckendorf stopped again. He stood up and bowed. All 5 friends clapped as he removed the disk from his neck.

"That's amazing Beckendorf!" Nico praised

"Thanks, my dad's coming to take a look at it after the fireworks." Beckendorf said proudly.

"Wow Beckendorf, that's great!" Percy patted him on the back.

The conch signaled lunch and Beckendorf put the two disks on a shelf. "Let's go eat."

Everyone agreed and stared filing out of the Hephaestus cabin. Annabeth and Thalia were last to leave.

As they were leaving Annabeth bumped the shelf Beckendorf had set the emotion disks on and they fell, attaching themselves to hers and Thalia's necks as they passed.

Later that night, the Stoll twins were making their round trying to find loose objects to…borrow, when they stumbled upon the remote to the emotion disks in on the Hephaestus cabin stairs where Beckendorf had made just given it an paint job to make it look more like a gaming console then a remote.

Thinking it was indeed a gaming console, the Stoll twins decided to…..borrow it.

After dinner Beckendorf returned to the Hephaestus cabin. He went to the shelf where he had placed the emotion disks, but couldn't find them. He started to panic.

He searched his cabin top to bottom looking for the two small disks and the remote he just realized he couldn't find either.

When he was certain he had searched everywhere, he collapsed onto his bed and placed his head in his hands.

"This is not good." He muttered to himself.

So how do you like it? Don't forget to review!

And remember to read The Prophecy Comes Alive!

But seriously the button (wow I'm using that word a lot today) is right there
