When Percy woke up that morning, he couldn't wait to see Annabeth.
It was Valentines Day and he had a big suprise for her. He usually didn't care that much about Valentines Day, but now that he was dating Annabeth he acually had a reason to celebrate.
He knew Annabeth loved to read and she loved architecture. She was currently redesigning Olympus (at the gods request) and she has been cimplaining about needing some insiration, so Percy thought he would take her to a book store to get some architecture books.
Percy quickly got up and got dressed and headed to the dining pavillion for breakfast. He wasn't suprised when he stepped outside and saw that the Aphrodite cabin had put up decorations for the occasion. There were little red, white, and pink hearts hanging up everywhere. The Demeter cabin had made little red, white, and pink flowers to spring up and they were making crowns with them.
When Percy got to the dining pavillion he sat down at the Poseidon table. He was the only one at the Poseidon cabin, which meant that he was also the only one at the Poseidon table. He didnt really mind thought because sometimes his cyclops half-brother Tyson would come to visit when he wasnt busy at the underwater forges.
Percy dug into his blue pancakes. A moment later, Annabeth came over smiling.
"Hey, Seaweed brain." She said as she hugged him. "Happy Valentines Day." She kissed him on the cheek.
"Hey, happy Valentines Day Annabeth." He set down his fork. "I have a suprise for you."
"Ooh, really? What is it?" She asked. Percy could see the excitment in her eyes.
"Well it wouldnt be a suprise if i told you, silly."
"Toché." She said. Percy finished his last bite of pancakes and stood up.
"Meet me at the camp border in five minutes." He said. "And bring a backpack or bag or something."
"Ok, I'll be there in five minutes."
Percy sprinted back to his cabin and grabbed his blue swim team jacket. He put Riptide in one pocket and stuffed his wad of mortal cash in the other pocket.
He headed to Half-Blood Hill. He saw that Annabeth was already there waiting for him. She was wearing faded blue jeans and an orange Camp Half-Blood tee-shirt and tall black boots. Her long blonde hair was tied back in a pont tail. She had a brown leather book bag slung across her shoulder and her invisibility cap was tucked in to her back pocket. Gods shes beautiful, Percy thought.
He walked up next to her. "You ready to go?"
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"You'll see."
Percy whistled. A moment later, Blackjack landed next to them.
Hey boss, Blackjack spoke in his mind. What do you need?
"I need you to take Annabeth and me into the city. Do you think you can carry us both?"
No problem, boss. Percy climbed onto his back and Annabeth climbed on behind him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and Blackjack took off.
