Drabble #1, Percy Jackson, 3rd Person
The doorbell rang. "I got it!" Annabeth cried. She raced to the door. Never in a million years would she let anyone see how incredibly excited Percy Jackson made her. Stopping right in front of the door, she took a deep breath to calm herself. She smiled as she turned the knob. "Hey, Percy."
"Hey Annabeth. Ready to go?" Percy asked her. "The movie starts in twenty minutes. We've gotta get going if we're gonna make it in time." He told her, grinning like the Seaweed Brain he was.
"Almost. Come on in for a sec, I won't be long." Annabeth promised.
"Cool." Bobby and Matthew, Annabeth's younger brothers, ran into the room.
"Percy! When'd you get here?" Matthew yelled.
"Percy, I made this insanely awesome Lego car today. You've got to come see it!" Billy pushed his brother out of the way. Annabeth laughed.
"Have fun Seaweed Brain. I'll be out in a minute." She raced up the stairs into her bedroom and quickly shut the door behind her, leaning against it to ensure nobody could barge in on her. Safe in her own room, she sank to the floor and privately thanked Aphrodite for giving her a guy as amazing as Percy.
Drabble #2, Surprise, 3rd Person~
Annabeth Chase sighed and put down her pencil. As much as she loved re-designing Olympus, it could be really exhausting trying to make all the gods happy. She lay back on her bed and tried to think about whose palace she should re-do next.
"Hey Wise Girl." A voice said. Annabeth looked up at the IM. Yes, she thought to herself. Percy. Percy, her amazing boyfriend, who was exactly what she needed right now.
"Percy!" she cried. Even thought they'd been dating for three or four years now, she still hadn't gotten used to that butterfly feeling she got every time he called her that name; 'Wise Girl'. "Oh gods am I glad to see you! Why is it that the gods always have to be such self obsessed jerks?" she complained. He laughed.
"Shh, they'll hear you Wise Girl!" Right on cue, thunder boomed outside. "Told you! Anyways, I've got to show you something. Come pick you up?" Percy asked.
"Yes! Hurry, so I don't have to do any more work!" Annabeth told him.
"Got it. Be there in ten." Percy waved his hand through the mist, disconnecting the Iris Message. Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. Annabeth quickly grabbed her tennis shoes. "Can somebody get that?" She yelled down the stairs. A moment later she heard the door being opened and Bobby and Matthew excitedly greeting Percy.
"Sorry I took so long. I'm ready to go. See you boys later." Annabeth called rushing down the stairs. She took Percy's sleeve and pulled him out the door.
Two ice cream cones later, Percy had Annabeth blindfolded and in a building she had never been to before. "Percy where are we?" she asked him.
"Just take off the blindfold." He instructed. She did as she was told. Looking around, they were in an apartment, empty except for a huge stack of unopened boxes in the middle of the front room. "Wha-
"Welcome to my new apartment!" he told her. "Surprise!"
Annabeth gasped. "Percy, this is really your own apartment? It's amazing!"
"Well, not just mine," Percy admitted. She tried not to show her disappointment. She had hoped to use this place as somewhere to escape and just be with Percy when she needed to. "My place is your place." He told her, holding out a key. "Percy!" All she could do was throw her arms around him. "I really do love you Seaweed Brain." She whispered softly to him. "I love you, too." *This was kinda long. Sorry I just really liked this idea. Not my best writing, but I hope you liked it! :.)
Drabble #3, Magic, 3rd Person~
Annabeth Chase was scared. The hellhounds had come out of nowhere, and she had been hurt badly. Nobody had been out on the beach to help her; even Percy couldn't save her now. He was with his father Poseidon at his Underwater Palace this month, helping out the sea god as he did every now and then. She put her head in her arms and cried, waiting to die. "Oh, Percy. I miss you so much. I need you so badly right now, why did you have to go away to that stupid palace?" she whispered to herself. The waves washed over her feet. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Come on Wise Girl. Don't stop fighting now!"
"Percy!" Annabeth cried. "Thank the gods you're here! Why did you go away Percy? I missed you so much!" he wiped the tears from her face. Then he did something unexpected. He lifted her in his arms and carried into the water, forming an air bubble so she could breathe.
"I missed you too, Annabeth. But look around you. I've wanted to share this with you for so long. This is why I come here." He motioned around them. Annabeth looked around at all the sea creatures. "Keep fighting, Wise Girl. It's going to be okay. Just trust me,"
"Wow. Maybe you're right Percy. Why haven't you brought me here before Percy? I've never seen this part of the ocean. It's amazing. So beautiful…almost like magic." She smiled softly. "Everything will be okay." *I ended up liking this one, but wasn't too sure at the beginning. Tell me what you think please!
Drabble #4, The Best Beginning, 3rd Person~
Eleven fifty six. Percy sighed. New Year's Eve and he was all alone. They had fought Kronos only a few months ago. Things had wound done for the most part, but things would never be the same. He had thought about going to his mom and Paul's place tonight, but at the last minute decided against it. Now he wished he had gone. It would be better than sitting here alone. Annabeth had gone to see her dad in San Francisco. Nico was with his dad working on re-building the Underworld. Thalia was with the Hunters, and Grover was somewhere healing nature, trying to clean up the mess Kronos and his army made. So here he was with nobody. He turned on the TV. Eleven fifty eight. Percy flipped through the channels, and thought about all the battles he and his friends had fought. He stared at a photo of Annabeth and him taken by the canoe lake after the war. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear his apartment door being unlocked. Next thing he knew, a voice on the television was chanting 5, 4, 3…
"Hey Seaweed Brain." Percy jumped at the sound of Annabeth's voice.
"Gods Annabeth you-
She cut him off. "Happy New Year." Annabeth whispered, and then she kissed him. The TV voice chanted 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Annabeth pulled back from Percy slowly. Climbing into his lap, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Surprise. I missed you too much, so I thought I'd come home a little early. Hope I didn't ruin your 'beginning of the year plans' Seaweed Brain." Annabeth teased.
"Nah." He replied. "In fact, this was the best beginning I could ever think of. Happy New Year, Wise Girl." Then he leaned in for another kiss.
