Athens: It took a lot out of me to write this, so not much comentary, I do not own Percy Jackson or any of Rick's characters.

Chapter 1

As I walked around the crowd of dancers on the floor was I hope Percy makes it. As I brought the drinks back over to Thalia and Piper, who were sitting in the booth laughing their heads off, I saw Hazel walk into the bar.

"Hazel!" I call from across the bar. "Glad you could make it." Empty drink bottles in hand, I walked over to her, who was standing still, as if she had never been to a bar.

"Thanks, I could not miss Piper's birthday party. Though," she said jokingly, "Frank might not like me be here."

"Hazel," called Thalia from the booth. "Have a drink." With that she took a swig of wine from a glass. As we were walking over to Piper and Thalia, who had somehow in the two minutes I was up, get into a drinking competition.

My phone rang and I looked down at the caller ID. It was Percy. "Hello?"

"Hey Annabeth, how are you?"

"I good thanks, I would be better if you were here."

"Ya about that, I might not be able to come. I have got caught up in some paperwork."

"Sounds like you need some help with that." Piper called to me and asked for some more drinks, and I got up to get them, still talking to Perce.

"No you stay there and have fun with your friends. I can handle it."

I snorted, "Who Percy Jackson able to do paperwork and doesn't have time for his girlfriend? Who are you and what have you done with my Perce?" Hurry up bartender, how long does it take to get two shots of tequila?

"Well when I signed up to be a marine biologist, I thought I would be out on the water most of the time, not stuck in a cubical all day." Perce is a marine biologist working on the Hudson River wildlife, and how to preserve them. I got up from the stool and walked back over to Piper and Thalia, who were trying to get Hazel to join in. "You think that Jason or Frank will be able to come?"

"Come on Annabeth, you know Frank. He would never get within 200 feet of this place, and Jason is on a business trip to Germany."

Worth a shot. "Well I guess I will see you when I get home."

"Love you Annabeth. Oh and Annabeth, try not to drink too much."

Laughing I replied, "Ok, love you too." With that, I hung up and slipped the phone back into my pocket.

"Who wants another round?" I asked. Several voices shouted through the air, several from behind me.

"Get lost creeps" yelled Thalia. Let's just say no one else bothered us that night.
