ANNABETH

Listening to his soft snoring made Annabeth smile.

It was around 8'o clock in the morning, and they were in bed. By they, She meant Percy and her.

She slowly opened her eyes and she was greeted by the sight of Percy's sleeping phase. He was drooling, of course he was.

He drools when he sleeps.

His arms were tangled around her waist, and they were covered in white comforters. Annabeth kissed the tip of his nose and his soft snoring stopped and he shifted his position.

"Good morning, my seaweed brain." Annabeth said softly as she ran her fingers through his jet-black hair.

He muffled something like, "Mhhmm," and rubbed his eyes. He opened one eye and gave her a smile. "Morning, wise girl." He said in his bedroom voice.

Annabeth's heart did an instant somersault. His effect on her will always be surreal and unexplainable.

"What do you want for breakfast?" She asked and sat up while Percy was still willing himself to go back to sleep.

"I dunno, eggs and bacon.." he said while his eyes still closed.

"Alright," She said and tied her blonde curly locks in a messy bun. "Get up, will you?"

"It's 8 in the morning," he whined.

"We have stuff to do today, you know. It's in my schedule."

He groaned. "Of course you have a schedule."

Annabeth giggled. "Whatever, now get up." She stood up and wore her white colored slippers and headed to the kitchen.

She cooked breakfast for the both of them and arranged the island counter neatly. She looked at the wall clock and it was exactly 8:45 in the morning.

She headed back to the bedroom and Percy was still lying flat on his stomach on the bed, half naked, covered in messy sheets.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Percy!"

He immediately sat up and looked around. "What, what?!"

She crossed my arms and tapped her foot on the ground.

Percy looked at her and put his hand on the back of his neck. "I'm up."

"You should be." She frowned. "Come on, the food will be cold."

"Mm, I could smell it from here." he stood up and disheveled his hair. He wore his blue slippers and walked towards her.

He opened his arms while walking towards Annabeth. She couldn't help but smile, plus his navy blue pajama pants with dolphin prints on it looked cute on him.

"Come on wise girl, where's my hug.." Percy said huskily and hugged her tight.

"Percy!" Annabeth giggled but he just kissed her cheek and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

After they ate breakfast, Annabeth was picking on what shirt should she wear today. The weather was kind of humid.

Percy, on the other hand, just picked whatever shirt he saw first, which was a navy blue shirt. He paired it with black ripped jeans and some Vans.

So she settled on a white top with black strips on it and jeans.

Seems good enough, she thought.

As soon as they stepped outside their apartment, Percy put his arms around my shoulder.

Annabeth's heart beat fast. Their apartment, she thought. Yes, Percy and her are living together. Her dad didn't mind since she was already an independent woman, and Sally just wanted Percy to be happy.

"So, where are we headed to Annabeth? What's on your schedule?" He teased and looked down at her.

Percy was taller, of course. Annabeth was only upto his shoulders, or an inch more. Nevertheless, She loved their height difference.

"Hmm," She acted as if she was thinking. "Oh right, to Sally's apartment!"

"Mom's apartment?" Percy asked and smiled. "That's cool, but why?"

She pinched his cheeks. "Because, kelp face, she wants to see you. She texted me last night."

He nodded. "And then where will we go?"

"Well I guess we could leave before lunch because we were having lunch with Piper and Jason."

"Piper and Jason. Lunch," Percy nodded, like he was remembering their schedule.

"And, we need to prepare the documents and papers we need for New Rome."

"New Rome.." he said dreamily. "with you."

"With me," Annabeth kissed his cheeks. "Now let's get going!"

Percy saving the world has been quite a handful. The gods are a bit, like a teensy bit fond of him. Apollo had given him a car even.

Apollo–being the classy god he was, gave Percy a sports car. A Ferrari, to be exact. Percy found it awesome and cool, even though Apollo just wanted Percy's car to be classy so that Percy can drive him in a nice car when he visits.

Percy's type of music played on the stereo with an average sound. He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel while banging his head, while Annabeth tried to check their requirements for college in New Rome.

"Percy," She closed her brown notebook and turned to him. "Where do you want to celebrate your birthday?"

He blinked. "Oh right, it's my birthday in 2 days.."

Annabeth snorted. "Of course it is."

"Camp Half Blood would be great." He said.

She opened her notebook again and got a ball pen from the compartment of Percy's car. She wrote the destination he wanted in her notebook. "Camp Half Blood it is then."

Percy stopped the car in front of his mom's apartment, in Upper Side of Manhattan. They both pressed the buzzer and Sally welcomed them with a happy smile.

Sally hugged Annabeth first and then faced Percy. "Oh my baby boy,"

Percy's cheeks flushed. "Mom–"

"Oh don't be silly, Percy." Sally broke their hug. "Come on in."

Percy had his hand on his neck as they entered the apartment. It was still how Annabeth remembered it.

"How are you with catching up on your school works, Percy?" Sally asked.

They sat on the brown sofa while Sally went to the kitchen.

"Uh.. so far so good, mom." Percy said.

He missed a lot when he went missing when Hera had kidnapped him and erased his memories. Now, he had to catch up so he and Annabeth could go to New Rome.

After visiting Sally, they went straight to the restaurant where Piper and Jason were meeting them.

Piper and Jason were already there when they arrived, and they stood up when they saw Percy and Annabeth.

"Hey," Percy said casually. "Are we going to eat here? 'Cause I actually wanted pizza and there's no pizza here–"

Jason cut off Percy. "We need to go back to Camp Half Blood. Now."

"What? Why?" Annabeth crossed her arms. "Percy and I were actually going there tomorrow."

Percy nodded. "Yeah, I was going to celebrate my birthday there."

Piper sighed. "Chiron IM-ed us. He said we were needed there, ASAP. Frank, Hazel and Reyna are on their way."

"Maybe its a surprise for my birthday." Percy tilted his head.

Annabeth frowned. She was actually planning a surprise on his birthday, but she was going to contact their friends at Camp Jupiter tomorrow, so the urgent meeting wasn't for his birthday.

"Uh.. i don't know man, but advance happy birthday." Jason said and looked at Annabeth. "Should we go now?"

"If Chiron said ASAP, then we should get going." She said.

"Can we take out some food before we go?" Percy asked.

They all looked at him and he shrugged. "No? Well, okay."

They all rode on Percy's Ferrari to Long Island Sound. Jason and Piper were at the back seat while Annabeth was busy with her laptop on the front seat.

"Hmm, Percy, it says here you're missing one document." She turned to look at her boyfriend.

"What?" He said in disbelief, his eyes still on the road. "But I gave everything to you."

"We'll just talk about it once we get this over with." she closed her laptop.

They arrived in Camp Half Blood around 2:30 in the afternoon. It was Nico and Will that welcomed them.

Annabeth, Jason and Piper smiled, while Percy frowned and put his hands in his pocket.

"Hey guys. Long time no see." Will smirked and put his arms around Nico, but Nico shrugged them off.

"Are you guys here because of Chiron's urgent call?" Nico asked.

"Yeah, you know about that too?" Jason asked.

"Yeah, but i don't know what's the meeting about. He'll talk about it later, with the counselors."

They walked towards the Big House to find Chiron, but they ran into Leo, who recently came back to life–or came back from Ogygia.

"Hey, you guys!" he said, his hair messed up and had stains on his face, like he was working on something.

Leo smirked and suddenly, he was on fire. He spread his arms. "Welcome to Camp Half Blood."

They took a step back. Then suddenly the fire disappeared. "Cool, huh?"

"That's how he greets new comers." Nico shook his head.

"Yeah and they like, run away or something." Leo frowned. "What? It's cool!"

"Where's Calypso?" Piper asked him.

"Oh, she isn't around." He waved his hand in midair. "I think she went shopping? I dunno."

Annabeth sighed. "You know about the urgent meeting?"

Leo's smile disappeared. "Actually, yeah. But i don't know what the meeting is about."

Percy nodded. "I really think its for my birthday."

They ignored him. "Don't tell me its another prophecy." Piper groaned.

"What? It's just been a year since Gaea." Jason said.

"Where's Rachel?" Annabeth asked.

"Right here."

They all turned and saw Chiron walking with Rachel. They straightened up and Chiron smiled. "Ah, just the people I wanted to see. Hazel and both praetors Frank and Reyna are on their way."

"What's this about Chiron?" Percy asked. Annabeth knew he was silently hoping for it to be about his birthday, and not some great prophecy.

She hoped this wasn't something big, so she can really plan a surprise for his birthday. Bad things always happened on his birthday, and she wanted to change that.

Chiron frowned. "Well, I suppose we can talk about it now, at the Big House with the other counselors. And our visitors are just in time."

"Hey guys." They heard Hazel's voice and turned. Reyna, Frank and Hazel were walking towards their direction. Frank was smiling while Reyna had her normal poker face.

They all gathered at the big house, where the ping pong table was. Annabeth sat in between Percy and Piper. And in front of her was Reyna, Frank and Hazel.

Chiron sat on his wheelchair in the head's spot. He cleared his throat. "Alright everyone, settle down."

They all sat straight and everyone stopped talking. Chiron glanced at Rachel who was standing next to him. "There has been some.. unknown stirring in depths of Tartarus again."

Percy sighed loudly and leaned on the backrest of his chair. "You have got to be kidding me."

"In Rachel's visions, this is not the giants or anything related to Kronos. This is something even worse."

"Worse than Gaea?" Leo asked.

"That, we don't know." Chiron put his hands on the table. "Rachel is feeling that a prophecy will be coming soon, so let us just be prepared."

Annabeth glanced at Percy. He was closing his eyes, and he looked stressed and annoyed at the same time. She felt bad for him, because he was really hoping for a peaceful life this time.

But that's hard for demigods, peaceful was on the least of their lists.

"We'll be staying until a prophecy has been said." Reyna said authoritatively.

"Yeah, us too." Jason said and Piper agreed.

Everyone looked at her and Percy. She held Percy's hand under the table. "Uhm.." she glanced at him. "We'll stay too."

"Well then, its settled." Chiron said. "In other news.."

Everyone was silent. Chiron glanced at a pissed-off Percy. "I heard its someone's birthday 2 days from now."

"Yipee." Percy said sarcastically and rolled his eyes. "And i get a freakin' prophecy for a gift."

"Don't feel bad, Percy." Annabeth said, cheering him up. "It might happen after your birthday."

"Wow, thanks a lot."

"So! What do you want for your birthday, Percy?" Jason asked. "I think I have some money saved up here.."

"A peaceful life.." Percy muttered under his breath. "Its cool bro, you don't have to."

Piper slapped Percy's shoulder. "Oh come on, birthday boy. Lighten up!"

"Did someone say lighten up?" Leo asked but they ignored him.

"I can summon some zombies to join your party." Nico shrugged, joking.

"What kind of joke was that?" Will frowned.

"Shut up, Solace."

"Don't be too worried about it, Perseus." Chiron said. "Poseidon knows about your upcoming birthday, he'll be coming, I think."

"Hear that? Your dad is coming." Annabeth smiled. She knew how much Poseidon loved Percy.

Percy cracked a sly smile. "Well I guess turning legal isn't bad."

"Well then, this meeting is adjourned." Chiron announced.
