Yeah, it's an Ipod challenge. First chapter: Annabeth. My ipod has really bad songs on it so I'm using my playlist account.

Song: On my Own from Les Miserables covered by Glee

I wish I owned PJO

I walked in the brisk winter air, feeling the cold turn my tan cheeks pink. I stuffed my hands into my winter coat's pockets. I closed my eyes and imagined the scene before me.

Like he's still beside me.

I walked in line beside Percy, finally deciding to tell him thank you.

"Look I. . ." My voice faltered a bit. "I appreciate you coming back for us, okay? That was really brave."

Eh, close enough.

He looked over at me. "We're a team, right?"

I grew silent, thinking of the first team I was on. Me, Luke, and Thalia. "It's just that if you died. . . aside from the fact that it would really suck for you, it would mean the quest was over. This may be the only chance for me to see the world."

I opened my eyes. If it wasn't for Percy, I would still be at camp training. I wouldn't have gotten to live a semi-normal life. I checked my watch. Around 2:00 AM. I haven't slept in two days. But he was worth it. I could walk until morning to find him.

I closed my eyes again and thought of Percy hugging me. . . his arms around my waist, mine around his neck.

"You're pretty good with that knife." He said.

I felt my heart flutter a bit. Wait. . . what? I can't feel like that.

"You think so?" I asked.

"Anybody who can piggyback-ride a Fury is okay by me."

I turned away, not wanting him to see my blushing cheeks, and smiled to myself.

I opened my eyes and started walking again. I realized I was walking in the wrong direction. Slowly losing my way. . .

I shut my eyes and concentrated. I thought of where Percy walked off to last time we were here. He did run ahead.

I found my way again. He helped me.

My heart ached as I called his name in the empty gnome emporium.

Tears pricked my eyes. "Percy!"

No answer. Tears ran down my cheeks. I don't cry unless I can't hold them back. A daughter of Athena never shows fear.

"Perseus Jackson!" I yelled.

Still no answer. I decided one last time.

"It's me! Annabeth! Your best friend and new girlfriend!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

He wasn't there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yes it's a line break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was pouring in St. Louis when I arrived. I walked down the grey streets, pavement shining like silver. It may have been only four in the afternoon now but the rain was so dark, the streetlights were on.

I walked by the Arch, thinking of Percy fighting the Chimera. I looked in the river he fell into, the lights reflections were misty.

A naiad swam up and looked me in the eye. I knew why she was hear. This was the naiad that helped Percy in the river.

I shook my head no. The naiad's head sagged and she swam away.

I looked up at the forest, shrouded in darkness, light shining through, full of starlight. I thought of me and Percy, we were only together four months. I thought we would be done with prophecies. I guess the Fates had other plans. I had imagined him and me for ever and forever.

Gods, I sound like Aphrodite.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~What? That's the lyric!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stepped off the train again, this time in Vegas. I looked around at the lights of the casinos. I saw replicas of the Eiffel Tower, Caesar's Palace, the amusement park on top of the building.

I could imagine Percy now.

I closed my eyes, like I did when I imagined him.

"Gods, Thalia would run the second she saw that." He would say.

I crack a smile. "And you have the guts to try it, Seaweed Brain?"

He winks. "I think I could handle it."

I laugh hard to myself. I opened my eyes and realized I was alone. Several people stared at me. I just kept walking.

I know it's only in my mind. I'm just talking to myself, not him. I trudged along, whispering his name in hope he would hear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~So these were thoughts while she looks for him. Next thoughts are on seeing him~~~~~~~

I was leaning against the railing of the Argo II. I couldn't stop thinking of the meeting to come. He won't know who I am. I'll just me an enemy to him.

I know that he will definitely not recognize me, like he's blind. But I still believe there's a chance for us.

I remembered the last time I saw him, before Hera took him. I said I loved him. And I still do. I remember how he told me he loved me too. He walked me to my cabin and kissed me, saying we're going to have a break.

But when the night was over, he was gone. I walked to the creek that day, the creek where he was claim. He called it magical. But that was because he made it. Now the creek's just a creek. (real words are river is just a river)

Without Percy, the world around me changes. The trees are not sprouting leaves because the dryads are mourning. They're almost bare. Everywhere I look, the street is full of strangers.

I love him, and I'm learning everyday to cope. All my life, I've been pretending, pretending that I have no feelings like that.

It won't matter if he saw me again. The world will keep on going for him. His world will be happy, with a Roman girl, that I've never known.

I faced the camp now. I touched my necklace, the beads that Percy had too.

"I love you." I whispered.

We inched closer. "I love you."

We were about to dock. "I love you but only on my own."

That was long. I had to make sure I got everything right. I think it fits this situation. So I'll do another one.
