Percy POV

THUMP!!

"Ow." I muttered. I had fallen off my bed. But then I noticed, it wasnt my bed i fell off of, it was the couch in the middle of my living room. Then i remembered. Annabeth had spent the night at my apartment (my Mom's apartment) because I was going to take her to the movies later today. I looked at the clock down the hall. 7:32 AM. "Man i'm gonna be tired tonight" I said, rubbing the back of my head. Great, I thought, its gonna swell.

"Morning." I heeard behind me. I turned around quickly and grabbed for riptide, but I just slapped my leg forgetting I only had on a pair of boxers on.

"Ow." I muttered again.

"Smooth Seaweed-Brain" Annabeth said sweetly. She was wearing a spaghetti strap shirt and a pair of short boxers.

"Shut up" I told her jokingly. She smiled and gave me a hug. I returned the favor. We stood there for about 5 minutes untill my mom walked in.

"Perc- oh, should i go?" We pulled away from each other, both of us burning red.

"No," I groaned, "Its fine, I was just about to take a shower anyway." I smiled at Annabeth and walked into the bathroom.

Annabeth POV

After Percy had walked into the bathroom I started thinking to myself. What am I doing?! This is Percy! Seaweed-Brain! I had just hugged him romanticly! Well, thats what it seemed like to me. I wonder whats Percy was thinking. But it didn't matter, Mom would kill me if she knew my feelings for Percy. I stood there thinking for about 5 minutes.Then i looked at Mrs. Jackson, she had her hand over her mouth to keep her from giggeling. When she noticed that I was looking at her she quickly stopped. I completely forgot about Percy taking a shower I walked into the bathroom and saw Percy, without any clothes on and only the towel he was holding in front of his you-know-what staring at me, blushing beyond belief. I did too. I quickly looked away.

"S-s-soryy." I stuttered. When i looked back he had the towel around him.

"S-okay, I mean, its not like you saw anything." he said, with a nervous smile. I blushed even more. We just stood there in an akward silence for about a mintue until he said, "Did you want to use the shower, because you can, I just finished mine.

"Y-y-ya" I was stuttering again. And just like that, he walked akwardly to his room, and shut the door. I closed the door right after he did and just stood there for what seemed like an hour, trying to figure out what happened. Finally after about 5 minutes, I took off my shirt.

Percy POV

I had quickly gotten dressed and started walking out my door. But before I did I left a note for Annabeth on my bed and left. During the whole shower inncident my Mom had left for work. I slowly climbed down the stairs thinking. After i had gotten out of the apartment complex, I quickly ran to the store to pick up some milk for my mom. I wasn't thinking anymore. Just one thing was going through my mind. Annabeth. I wanted to spend the whole day with her before i took her to the movies.

Then i noticed someone familiar standing at the end of the block. I started running faster yelling "GROVER!!" he quickly turned around with a worried expression on his face. I ran up to him and said, "Grover whats wrong? You look like Kronos just rose again. And please don't tell me he has risen again, 'cuz i just dealt with him 3 months ago and i don't wanna deal with him again." (if I haven't mention yet i turned 16 3 months ago)

"NO!" Grover sreamed, "Its Annabeth, shes lost, last night she just dissapeared from camp!"

"Damn G-man, s-okay, I picked her up from camp last night, she is staying at my place and later today we are going to 'da movies."

"Oh thank the gods!" Grover panted."So have you figured it out yet?" he asked curiously.

"Figured what out?"

"That you love Annabeth."

Annabeth POV

I had just gotten out of the shower and walked into Percy's room when i saw a note on his bed that said: ANNABETH. I unfolded the note and read,

Dear Annabeth,

Be ready by 9:00 am, I want to spend the whole day with you. If you are wonderering where I am I ran to the store for my mom, if you need anything, just Iris-message me. I have a couple of gold dramchas in my drawer if you need one.

Percy

Suddenly i felt excited. Percy wanted to spend the whole day with ME? ME? I quickly got dressed, and thought what the day would be like.

Percy POV

"I DON'T LOVE ANNABETH!!"

"Yes you do Percy." Grover said, getting a little annoyed.

"NO!!"

"Percy, yes you do, it was even part of the prophecy, it said, after the one decides the fate of Olympus, the one will fall in love with a child of a Athena, and, to prove my point even more, basicly drool when you watch her swim."

"Whatever Grover, I don't have time for this I have to get back to Annab-" I never finshed my sentecne before being thrown to the side of a building.I was almsot knocked out unconcious, my body was crumpled on the cold cement of the sidewalk. I looked up, and saw grover trotting away from...The Minotaur.

"Oh shit!" I yelled. I quickly uncapped Riptide and lunged toward the bull-man. As if on cew, he turned around and socked me right in the face. I was thrown 40 yards back, and i was laying in the middle of a city park. I tried to stand, but my leg wouldn't let me. I looked around for Grover, but he was no where to be found. Whats happening to him? I thought. I looked at The Minotaur, he was looking to see where I went. I looked the opposite direction and saw a pond about 30 yards away. I started to crawl. I looked back, and saw the bull/man/guy staring me down. He snorted. As i was crawling, I prayed to Poseidon, Dad, please, I really need a miracle. Just then, i saw a kid jump in to the pond almost covering me with water from the splash. A sudden sensation of energy shot through my body, i got up and ran as fast as I could towards the pond. I was almost there when my leg gave up on me again. I fell into a jogger.

"Hey!! What the HELL?! Watch where your going!" I was fixing to put him in his place when i saw The Minotaur charging towards me. I rolled into the pond while the jogger looked at me strangely. I was fixing to warn him when The Minotaur charged into him, sending his limp body flying until i couldn't see him. I focused back at The Minotaur. I willed the water from the pond to douse the bull, and it did. When he was distracted I jammed Riptide into the monsters belly. It looked at me wide-eyed. And then, POOF!! He was gone, just a bunch of Powder was left.

"Please be the only attack for today. Please."
