Well, no surprise there, I decided that he better start packing and I took out my bag. I put my clothes in it and made sure I had my sword hidden away.

I thought about leaving for three weeks and I thought about Annabeth and how she's always wanted to go to Greece and see the Parthenon. She would love to come. I will love to have her there, she knows me better than anything and we are pretty close. That settles it, I'll take her.

I walked out of my cabin and went looking for her. I checked the arena and she wasn't there. I walked to the big house to ask Chiron if he had seen her and he doesn't know where she would be but he saw her earlier with Percy. Oh, Percy. Great. The one person on this planet that could keep Annabeth from going to Greece with me. Oh well, I'll have to try.

I walked to the beach since that is where they always are. Sure enough, they were making out on the beach. Ugh. I should probably catch at another time.

I turned around to leave and heard, "Malcolm!" I turned back around to see Annabeth coming towards me. I smiled at her and hugged her. Percy came up behind her and stood there behind her awkwardly.

"Um…Percy? Can I talk to Annabeth?" I asked hoping he would leave. It would be easier.

"Oh, um…ok." He left.

"What is it Malcolm?" Annabeth asked concerned. I could tell she was trying to find out what was wrong.

But I smiled and said, "I won a contest and got a cruise to Greece."

"Oh my god, Malcolm!" She laughed and jumped up to hug me. "That's so great!"

"Yeah, and there's something else."

"What?" She's interested.

"I get to bring one other person. And I was hoping you could come and see Greece with me…because I don't want to be with anyone else." I said the last part fast and I'm not very sure if she even heard but she looked touched.

"Malcolm, of course I'll go with you."
