This is actually my first time writing on Fanfiction. I have read many of them however so I have a pretty good idea on what a good story is.

I would love if you guys would review, follow, and favourite my story. I appreciate any constructive criticism you have for me, but I have feelings and would like it if you weren't rude about any mistakes I may have. I am taking time out of my really really busy life to write this so I hope you will be kind enough to respect me and my story. I also may not be able to update constantly because of how busy I am, but I will try, so please don't spam me telling me to review.

(I am not sure if I have to do a disclaimer, but here it is) I do not own PJO and HOO.

Annabeth was your regular successful twenty year old. She had guts, wits, and was the perfect role model for women around the world. Unfortunately all this would be ruined in a couple hours. Social status and good looks wouldn't matter once the chaos started. The cloud was coming. In four hours.

Percy didn't have the same success as Annabeth. Instead of being the organized beauty, he was the goofy famous swimmer, that nobody could get enough of. In fact, half the world had a poster of him hanging on their walls. His life would be affected by the cloud as well. In four hours.

Four hours until the cloud:

Annabeth's POV:

She woke up the same as every morning; to the sound of the consistent beeping coming from her phone. Annabeth wasn't one to be accustomed to change. At least that is what she told herself. In reality her whole childhood had been change. From her mother leaving, to her father remarrying, to moving from California to New York, nothing was ever the same.

After brushing her teeth and choosing a pencil skirt and a blouse that would make her look strict, Annabeth was ready to go to work. Being extra careful to lock the door to her private suite, she was down the elevator and out the building in a matter of minutes. Nothing would stand in her way from getting to work.

Her work was a subject Annabeth loved to talk about. She designed buildings for a living otherwise known as an architect. She wasn't a regular architect though. She was the architect. The one the famous people would only trust to design their buildings and the one the ordinary person could never afford to have design their driveway none of the less their whole house. Annabeth took pride in the name she had built up for herself, but never bragged about her success in her work. As a matter of fact, whenever someone would praise her for her work, she would pass it off as being because of her colleagues that it turned out so well. She might even pass it off as being her companies work, not even her own.

After hailing a taxi and making it to work at 6:23 exactly, Annabeth began to get to work. Her last couple days had been stressful trying to get the designs done for Percy Jackson's new pool. She knew nothing about the guy except for that he was a swimmer and that his name was Percy Jackson. If Annabeth hadn't been so busy she would have noticed the little television, sitting in the corner of her office, warning the viewers of a thick cloud spreading across Europe with no signs of stopping. With no worries, Annabeth managed to get the blueprints done with time to drop them off. There was now two hours until the cloud came.

"Piper, could you drive me to Percy Jackson's house, I need to drop off these designs," Annabeth commanded her assistant. Well they were more than assistants. Piper and Annabeth were practically sisters. Of course not physically though. Piper came from a Cherokee descent and had choppy brown hair and mesmerizing kaleidoscope eyes like her famous mother, Aphrodite. Annabeth on the other hand had blonde curls that cascaded down her back and intimidating grey eyes that made people cower in front of her.

"Of course I will. What are assistants slash sisters slash best friends for," Piper beamed.

"Well not for bringing coffee as you proved this morning," Annabeth mumbled. That's right; the famous Annabeth Chase needed her coffee.

"You know I would have if I wasn't running late," Piper apologized, but Annabeth had already shrugged it off.

"We better get going if we want to get there before his ten o'clock swim practice. The traffic will slow us down" Annabeth said with little bit more of a smile.

"Let's get going then," Piper declared and they were off. Percy lived all the way across the city and it took the girls almost an hour just to make it there. Lucky for them they made it there well before Percy had to leave. The whole car ride Piper had been talking about some thick cloud that was spreading quickly and was going to reach New York soon. Annabeth didn't worry about it. The scientist could do their job and she could do hers. The cloud was now arriving in an hour.

Bracing herself to knock on the door, Annabeth took two deep breaths and swiftly slid herself out of the car with ease. Walking confidently in her high heels, she stepped up the magnificent staircase that lead to the grand entrance. This guy must have a lot of money Annabeth thought. She never questioned her client's lives. They were simply people that paid her money to design things for them. A lot of money at that. She was one to get very interested in people's wealth and social standing anyways. She preferred to bury herself in her work and ignore the world around her.

Percy's POV

Percy had a very relaxing morning. He didn't wake up until eight and made himself eggs and bacon for breakfast. Normally he would have his butler make him them or phone up his mom, but he was feeling productive that morning and decided to do it himself. Luckily he didn't burn down his million dollar kitchen and cooked the food perfectly.

Deciding some T.V. would be nice before swim practice he ate his breakfast on the couch. The T.V. turned on to the news and before Percy could change the channel something caught his attention.

"The cloud has spread even further. The only continents who are still intact or only partially covered are North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. In about an hour experts say that Earth will be completely covered." Percy was taken aback. Never has he been so personally been effected by something so big.

"All the area's covered have lost all communication that leads us to believe that this cloud is messing up the radio waves and signals. In a matter of minutes your T.V.'s will go out and all phones will no longer work. Do no panic. Stay in your houses and wait for it to pass. I repeat…" She then went on to list off a bunch of things to "stay safe" and "not panic". Percy was smarter than that though. He knew that something that could cover the whole Earth couldn't have been good.

After cleaning up his dishes and trying not to think about the cloud too much he heard the doorbell ring. Percy quickly looked down at himself to make sure he looked half decent and then raced to his door before his butler could get it. He would always ask himself why he got a butler, but then remember it was his best friend Jason who convinced him to get one. Percy would always joke that Jason was practically his butler since he basically lived at his house and cleaned as well. Percy wondered for a minute where Jason was, but then just assumed he was in "his room" sleeping. Unlike Percy, Jason didn't have to go to swim practice in the morning.

Upon reaching the door Percy ripped it open only to reveal a set of stunning grey eyes accommodating a beautiful woman that looked around his age. Behind her was another girl that was just as pretty, but not really his type. Before becoming them into the house he looked quickly to the sky. In the far distance he could make out something grey. It was the cloud!

How was it? Tell me in the reviews. I'll try to update soon. Thanks for reading.
