Hello everyone! It's Luna Lerman Jackson but you can call me Luna. I'm back with a new fanfic and this time, I will really try to make each chapter at least 1k words! So I hope you enjoy this chapter and pretty, pretty please read to the end of the chapter. The start is an opening to the fanfic and I would truly appreciate if you read everything. The ending is the opening to the other chapters. REVIEW!

Disclaimer for the whole fanfic because I do not understand the point for doing this each chapter: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The only things I own are the plot, Leila and Sierra.

"Princess! It's time to wake up." Leila drew the blinds and opened my closet. She chose my clothes for the day which was a coral colored dress. It wasn't a gown like usual. It was a short dress, above my knees. She laid it on my bed and put a pair of gold sandals beside my bed. Leila was my assistant and best friend. She had straight, brown hair which she usually kept in a ponytail or a bun. She was the only person who called me Annie, well the only person I allowed.

"What time is it?" I groaned.

"It's 8:30. You have to get ready for your classes."

"Ugh, again?" I sat up and stretched. I yawned.

"I will bring up your breakfast soon."

"You don't have to talk to me all fancy, Leils. You're 14 and I am 10. Talk to me like a friend because we are friends! You've been my friend ever since I was 3." I told her.

"Oh alright, Annie. Come on. Put on your dress."

"I don't wanna wear a dress!"

"You have to wear a dress!"

"Why? I wore one yesterday. Today is Friday! We don't have any parties."

"Oh fine, choose your clothes for today, but I'm fixing your hair."

"Okay!" I ran to my closet and looked through all my clothes. Leila went downstairs and got my breakfast. I chose a white t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I got my sneakers and put them on. Finally! Something comfy. I heard a knock.

"Oh come in, Leila!" I opened the door. It wasn't Leila. It was a boy. He had sea green eyes and raven-black hair. He looked like he was my age.

"Oh, sorry. Wrong room." He blushed.

"It's okay," I told him. "My name's Annabeth. What's yours?"

"I'm Percy. My mom works here. She's the new assistant for the queen. Her name is Sally."

"You have a nice name." I told him.

"Thank you, I like yours too." He smiled. "Are you the princess?"

"Yes, I don't enjoy it very much though.

"My mom will probably be looking for me. It was nice meeting you." He said, smiling. He ran back into the hallway. I closed the door and sat down on my bed again. I heard another knock.

"Come in!" I called. This time it was really Leila. She came in with a plate of bacon and eggs.

"Mmm! Those smell yummy!" I told her. She put them down on my table and I ran to it. I sat down on my chair and started to eat. While I ate, Leila fixed my hair. She tied it into a french braid and clipped back the loose strands of hair. "

There, you're all ready for your classes. First, you have your dance class, snacks, then your princess classes, lunch and your final class, sword training." Leila told me. "Now hurry along, you don't want to be late. I took my last bite. Done.

"Coming." I ran to my dance lessons.

"You're-"

"Late, I'm sorry."

"No, actually you're early! I'm surprised. Very good, Annabeth."

"Thank you."

My classes went on, nothing special.

6 years later...

"Come on, Leila! You have to come! It's my sweet 16. You're like my best friend!"

"But what if your parents don't approve?"

"Of course they will, Leils! I've known you since I was a toddler. You're like family!"

"Oh alright."

"Yay! It's next month."

"Next month? And you're telling me now? Isn't it a bit too early?"

"Knowing my parents, a month is never too early. They had a dress made for me and the whole ballroom is being rearranged. They've been acting as if the thing is in 2 days."

"They just want it to be special!"

"I know that. But I still think it's much too early to prepare."

"Oh, give it a break, Annie."

"Speaking of breaks, you need a short break to buy a dress and shoes and everything! I'm in charge of your hair, makeup and clothes because I want everything to be special for my best friend too!"

"Aw thanks, Annie!" She hugged me.

"You're welcome, Leils!"

Fast forward to the day before the party...

"Time to go shopping, Leila!"

"Now?"

"It's the day before the party! Come on!"

"Oh fine."

"I've already arranged everything with my parents. Let's go!"

"Go where?"

"We're going to the mall!"

"The one in the other building next door?"

"Yup! Although, I've begged my parents to allow me to go to the real mall."

"Well, let's walk then." We walked to the building next door aka the party and ball materials building.

We shopped for about 2 hours until we got everything we needed. We bought a sleeveless turquoise colored dress for Leila which fell a bit below her knees and a pair of silver colored sandals with a 1 inch heel.

"Thanks for everything, Annie! You're amazing."

"You're welcome, Leils! Anything for you!"

Fast forward to the next day at 2pm...

Someone knocked on my door.

"Come in!" I answered. The door was opened. It was my mother, Athena.

"Hello mother."

"Hello dear, Happy Birthday!"

"Thank you." I smiled.

"I hope you're ready for later. The party starts at 7."

"Yes, mother."

"Make sure Leila is ready too."

"Yes, mom."

"Okay, well I will leave you alone to get ready."

"Okay, thanks mom." Athena left the room. I walked to the salon and stepped inside.

"Good Afternoon, Princess." A lady welcomed me in.

"Good Afternoon."

"Happy Birthday, dear. Here is your stylist for today, Sierra."

"Alright, thank you very much!" I walked over to Sierra and she did my hair and makeup. My hair was in a waterfall braid and it was clipped back with a few bobby pins. My makeup was light and simple. I had light pink eyeshadow, a bit of black eyeliner, a coral colored blush and a bit of tinted lip gloss. It enhanced my feature instead of masking it which I found made my face look more beautiful.

"Thank you, Sierra!" I paid and gave Sierra a tip. She finished in about 45 minutes. I decided I would put on my dress and shoes at about 6:00. I went back to my room and called on Leila.

"Guess what!"

"What?"

"It's time for your makeover."

"But it's not even 3 yet!"

"Well, it soon will be. Now, sit!"

"Oh alright," She took a seat. I blindfolded her. "Is that necessary?"

"Just wait, I'll take it out while I'm doing your makeup."

"I trust you on this, Annie!"

"Well you should." I got a curling iron and started curling her hair. It was more of waves actually. I grabbed a small section from both sides of her hair and braided them then I clipped them together. For makeup, her chair was facing away from the mirror so she wouldn't be able to see anything until I was finished. For makeup, I just put a shimmery, gold color on her eyelids and a bit of black eyeliner and mascara. I also put a bit of blush, it was a natural color. Lastly, I put a bit of lip gloss on her. Okay, I'm done! I turned her chair around. She gaped.

"Annabeth, you are a magician. I look amazing!"

"Why thank you, but you already look amazing even without makeup. I just put a bit of makeup so your beauty would be more visible and now it is." I checked the clock. It was 5:00. That took long. We talked till about 6:00. It was almost time! We put on both our dresses and shoes and looked at the full body mirror in my room. I smiled. I looked gorgeous and so did Leila.

Time Lapse (during the party)...

"Would you like to dance?" I turned around. It was my boyfriend, Luke.

"Of course." I replied, smiling.

"You look gorgeous, Annie."

"It's Annabeth." I told him.

"Oh, just give it a break." He told me. He leaned in. Then, I felt somebody push me against a wall. Someone grabbed me.

"Leila!" I screamed. "Someone he-" someone covered my mouth.

"Hush hush, Princess." I saw a glint of sea green. Then I fainted.
