Hey guys! This is my first FanFiction story! I hope you all enjoy and tell me what you think about the first chapter! Constructive criticism is welcome. I want to learn how to be a better writer. :) Please Enjoy!

Annabeth's POV

At this moment, I couldn't be happier. I was with my best friend who I've know for years, over looking a beautiful green valley with breath taking Greek architectural designed buildings and the sweet smell of fresh, ripe strawberries filling my nose. My eyes gazed over to the peaceful water glistening in the afternoon light.

We'd been up here for at least an hour, just talking and looking at the spectacular view. Maybe it's been more than an hour. Who knows? Time goes by fast when you're having fun.

Percy scooted closer to me and tucked a piece of my wavy blonde hair behind my ear. Then he stared at me affectionately with his intense sea green eyes, his messy black hair falling perfectly above them.

"I've always loved the view from up here," he told me. He looked up and stared at a tall pine tree: Thalia's tree.

"Same here." I replied, looking up a the pine tree also. "Why did you bring me here?"

Percy paused before saying anything. "I just...thought you would like it," he said, with the slightest hint of nervousness in his voice.

I chuckled, "Well you've guessed correctly."

We looked at each other and shared a small smile. Then Percy quickly looked down and started playing with his fingers.

"Annabeth, can I ask you something?" he asked.

I nodded my head and he started again.

"We have been friends for awhile now, and I wanted to know if you..."

I never got to hear the rest of his question.

"Oh my gods! They're here!" I jumped up and pointed toward the medium-sized group of people entering the camp. They had white wolves and hunting falcons with them, bows slung over their shoulders, and knives strapped to their sides.

I ran down the hill as fast as I could without tripping over my own feet and looking like a fool. I was so glad that the Hunters of Artemis made it here in time for the game tonight. I turned around and saw Percy slowly walking down the hill with his head hanging low. Why was he not as excited as I was to see them? I turned my head back around and pushed that thought to the back of my head. All that mattered to me right now was saying hi to Thalia. (A/N: It's not that Percy doesn't like Thalia, it's just that he was disappointed that he didn't get to ask Annabeth... oh you thought I was going to tell you? Nope :) You'll find out soon enough.)

"Thalia!" I yelled, loud enough so she could hear me.

I saw her head turn and she looked at me with a puzzled look on her round, smooth face, then instantly she recognized me and started running toward me.

Thalia came up to me and we instantly started talking. "Annabeth! It's so good to see you!" Thalia said, hugging me.

Thalia, being 3 years older than me, was taller than me; I had to tilt my head back before I could look into her electric blue eyes with dark eyeliner and eyeshadow around them. "I know same with you! How have been things with the Hunters?"

"It's all been fine." she said while smiling. "We are getting new rookies every so often and everything has been going according to plan. How have things been like here at camp. How are you and Percy doing?" She ended with a wink.

I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Everything has been good here. I've been spending more and more time with Percy and we enjoy each others presence."

"Good to hear. You two have always been a cute couple." She said looking amused.

"What do you mean? It's not like we're dating or anything."

Thalia just looked and me and laughed softly.

Then suddenly the horn blew, which meant it was dinner time.

"Thank gods, I'm starving!" Thalia said.

"Nuh-uh. You Hunters are not eating. We need at least a little advantage if we are going to have any chance at winning tonight," I said while we walked toward the Dining Pavilion, a smile spreading across my face.

"No way! Even if we didn't eat, we would still kick your guys' butt at capture the flag." Thalia said with a smirk.

"We'll just have to wait and see." I said.

And with that, we started running toward the Dining Pavilion, ready for an exciting night.

So what did you guys think? Did I do a good job? What do you think Percy was going to ask Annabeth? What will happen during capture the flag? Review to get another chapter!

And sorry this chapter was sorta short. I already wrote the second chapter and it is longer. I had to split it into 2 parts :)
