"And it went BOOM!" shouted Percy, using rapid hand gestures. "It was awesome."

"You blew up…a WalMart?" Annabeth asked, flabbergasted.

He nodded. "Yes, yes I did."

She laughed slightly and shook her head. "Wow, Seaweed Brain."

Rachel sighed. "Percy, didn't we talk about this? No more blowing up public places!"

"Hey. It's not my fault that monsters are strangely attracted to me!" He put on a smile. "I bet it's my charming smile and devilishly good looks."

The girls laughed a bit. "This is Percy we're talking about, right?" Rachel asked Annabeth, causing her to laugh even more.

"Ha, ha, ha. Rachel you are absolutely hilarious," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

She let out a soft chuckle. "I try."

The conch shell blew in the distance, signaling that is was time for lunch.

"Thank the gods. I'm starving!" Percy exclaimed as he got out of his seat. Annabeth giggled a bit and got out of her lawn chair too.

"I hope they have turkey today. They have good turkey here."

She laughed a bit more, then stopped realizing that Rachel was not with them.

"You comin' Rach-" but she did not finish when she saw Rachel still seated with her eyes glowing green. She gasped and ran over to the table quickly with Percy right on her tail.

"The woman who has the unluckiest of kin

has finally met the most ungrateful of men.

A boy will go save her, at great cost to his heart,

but will do more harm to his mind if he does not do his part

The lost flame will ignite

causing too little a fight

for has his heart found a new light?"

Rachel blinked many times before her eyes came back to normal. She jumped back a bit, startled by how close the two were.

There was a moment of shocked silence before Annabeth spoke.

"I'll go get Chiron," she said and rushed off into the Big House.

"You all right?" questioned Percy.

Rachel nodded. "Prophecy?"

This time, Percy nodded.

"What'd it say?"

He opened his mouth to answer when Annabeth and Chiron came galloping in.

"Rachel. Do you feel all right?"

She smiled a bit. "Yeah, thanks Chiron."

He sat down across from them, and Annabeth stood next to her boyfriend.

"Well, what did it state?" the centaur asked.

Annabeth repeated it from memory. "Hmm," Chiron mused.

"So, who do you think it is, Chiron?" Annabeth wondered. "Who's the girl with the unluckiest of kin?"

"It could be me," Rachel thought out loud. "I mean, I've never had a very good relationship with my dad."

"Well if it's like that, then it could be me too," commented Annabeth.

"Yeah, but I wouldn't really say that that's 'the unluckiest of kin'," Percy said.

"I don't believe it is either of you two as well," said Chiron.

"Then who is it?"

"Let us not bother on that for too long. What was the second line again?" Chiron asked Annabeth.

"Has met the most ungrateful of men."

"So whoever this girl is is in some serious trouble," Percy said, trying to lighten the mood.

They all nodded in agreement. "A boy will go save her, at great cost to his heart."

"I'll go pack my bags," Percy joked.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "It might not be about you for once, Percy. Give some other people a chance to be in the lime light."

"Who cares about who has to go. What does the second part mean?" Rachel inquired.

Chiron and Rachel couldn't really help but have their glances go towards the two demigods. The two of them were thinking the same thing.

"Let's go to the next line," Percy directed.

"But will do more harm to his mind if he does not do his part."

"So if this kid doesn't go, he'll pretty much go crazy," said Percy.

"Yep."

"Last lines, please."

"The lost flame will ignite, causing too little a fight, for has his heart found a new light?"

The four sat there in concentration, thinking and thinking about who it could be.

Annabeth gasped.

"What is it?" interrogated Chiron.

"I know who it is." She seemed…disappointed. Maybe even a little angry? A little jealous?

"Yes?"

She closed her eyes tightly; as if not wanting to see or hear the name she was about to say. "It's Calypso."

"What?" Percy exclaimed.

"It's Calypso. It's obvious. She's in danger." They sat there for a while longer, still thinking and thinking.

"I have to go," Percy stated.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because, it's Calypso for Zeus's sake!"

"Exactly! It's Calypso! I have to help her!"

"Why? Last time I checked, I was your girlfriend, not her!"

"Oh my gods, Annabeth! She's in danger! There's someone on her island out to hurt her! She could die!" Sure, she knew that Percy had to go save her, it was only rational, but Annabeth still didn't want him to go.

Didn't you hear the third to last line? The lost flame will ignite. That can only mean one thing. The rest of the prophecy can go to Hades for all she cared.

"She can't die! She's immortal! She might get hurt, but she can't die!"

"Who cares? She's my friend! I have to save her!"

"This was supposed to be our week Percy! I go off to school next week. This was our last week together!"

"Yeah…but that was before the prophecy."

"So now you care about the prophecy and Calypso more than me? More than us?"

Every time Percy said he 'Had to go save her!' it made Annabeth more and more furious, clouding her vision to see things rationally. Clearly. All she saw was her anger at Percy for choosing Calypso over her. His girlfriend!

"No, Annabeth, that's not what I'm saying!"

"It sure sounds like it!"

"I have to go on this quest though, Annabeth! You don't understand."

"I think I do understand! You're choosing her over me!"

"No!"

"Really, because that's all I'm hearing!"

"Wise girl, I have to go on this quest. You can even go with me!"

"No, I will not go with you! And don't you try and Wise Girl me!"

"Please."

"No."

"But Annabeth-"

"No, Percy, listen to me. It's Calypso, or it's me. Pick one."

He paused for a moment. Chiron and Rachel were long gone by now. It was just the two of them out on the porch. "…I have to go on this quest, Annabeth." he said quietly.

She nodded a bit and turned around without a word. "Annabeth!" he shouted after her, but she just went off down the hill in a sprint.


So there's the first chapter! I already have the second chapter typed and stuff, so I'll probably post it tomorrow, only if I have 3 reviews! So review, review, review! And this is an OC fic, but he doesn't come until the next chapter! In this there'll be Percabeth, Percalypso, and the freaking awesome new pairing Aces and Eights and I like to call Pezzabeth! :P

Also, I need to give a shout out to my best friend I've never met, Aces and Eights for pretty much coming up with this entire idea, giving me my prophecy, and betaing this! So thanks! Love ya!
