"Wake up Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth practically shouts at me. I groan as I sit up, blinking at the sunlight streaming in through my cabin's windows.
The alarm clock on the table next to my bunk reads 5:20 a.m. "Come on, Wise Girl! Early morning training doesn't start until 6:00" I throw myself back onto my bed and try to fall back asleep, hoping Annabeth will leave me alone.
Hopefully, whatever she wants to tell me can wait another 40 minutes. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the plan.
I hear Annabeth open the door and whisper to someone right outside of it, "Plan B", but I'm too tired to care or try to figure out who she is talking to. The next second, I feel a finger poke my arm and electricity shoots through my body.
"Ow!" I shout as I fall out of bed, opening my eyes to see Annabeth and Thalia laughing at me. I curse in Ancient Greek as I remember, a little too late, that the Hunters of Artemis are visiting this week.
I give them my deluxe, I-will-make-you-pay-for-that glare at the two as they laugh harder, then, mentally reach out to the water glass next to the alarm clock, and feel a slight tug in my gut as the water shoots at the two, drenching both from head to toe.
Now, it's my turn to laugh.
Thalia growls at me and is about to attack me when a sopping wet Annabeth gets up to stop another Big-Three fight and says calmly, "Okay, that's enough," then she turns to Thalia and asks her if she can talk to me alone.
Thalia smirks and responds, "No problem. Later, Kelp Head", as she heads out the door. "Okay Annabeth, you got me up. Now what do you need to tell me?"
She pulls me up off the floor and leads me out the door.
"I got a letter from dad last night and I want to show it to you! It's in my cabin". Annabeth's father was a college professor in L.A.
She recently has been getting hints about a special surprise he was planning for her, and I guess it's really cool, judging by the way she was acting.
We walked out the door and into the ring of cabins.
Here at Camp Half-Blood, things are rarely ever quiet like this. In fact, when you are a demigod, you and peaceful don't belong in the same sentence, unless there is a "not" in there as well.
We passed the Aphrodite cabin, and I was shocked to find the lights on and lots of noise coming from inside.
Annabeth caught my puzzled expression and explained that the "beauty kids", as everyone called them, were up earlier than this every morning prepping themselves for the day, meaning they got up at 4 a.m. to put on makeup and do their hair.
Finally, after passing a few more cabins, we reaching cabin 6, where the brainiac children of Athena lived.
Silently opening the door, Annabeth crept inside and came out 30 seconds later with a note. She ran to the dining pavilion and I followed, wondering why she didn't just bring the note to my cabin.
I caught up to her and sat at the Poseidon table next to her. She handed me the note, which happened to be in English, and I struggled to read the words on the page.
Got to love (hate) dyslexia. Finally, I made out:
Dear Annabeth,
How's camp? Anything interesting going on? I know that you have been waiting on the surprise I promised you.
I am taking you to London for a week, just like you asked! I know that you would feel more at home in Greece, but after last month, you are probably not anxious to visit. I hope you are happy with your surprise, but I have something else for you.
I have talked with his mother, and if you like, you may take your friend Percy along. We leave August 15th. I hope you are okay with leaving camp early, but Chiron has agreed and you will get to return for the final weeks of the session.
I am eager to hear your reply, remember, this trip is only if you want to go.
Sincerely, Frederick Chase.
I looked up after reading it and looked at Annabeth, who was bursting with excitement.
I hadn't seen her this happy since our reunion a month ago at the Roman Camp Half-Blood.
Since then, we had fulfilled the second great prophecy, defeated the giants, saved the Olympians again, and closed the doors of death.
A lot had happened since and we were all tired of adventure. If anyone deserved a vacation, it was Annabeth.
"I'm up for it, if you want me to come," I tell her. She looked at me; her grey eyes filled with excitement and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's pack!"
What do you think?
Sorry if Annabeth is a little OOC, if it's too much I'll change it in the next chapter.
Please review!
