Chapter 1
(Percy's POV)

"Percy!" my mom, Sally, shouted. "You need to get up!"

"Mooooommmm..." I groaned. "I don't have school until next week! And it's only nine!"

"Percy, you are eight years old, and you need to get back on track for school."

"Fiiiine!" I quickly got up, knowing she could turn into a sea monster when she was mad. "Can I go up to the shore?" I asked.

She turned to me quickly. "You know it is forbidden. Your- King Poseidon made that law years ago!"

"I know... but i just want to see it!"

"Go play with Grover or something, Percy."

"Grover, hey Grover!" I called. The boy swam over to me. Grover was one to get bullied a lot. His tail was usually the cause of it because it was abnormally short. He has brown hair that floats around his head in tiny little ringlets. He's also super scrawny.

"Do you want to sneak up to the surface?" I whispered in his ear.

He looked wide-eyed at me. "No!" he exclaimed.

"Come on! Why not?" I pleaded with my big baby seal eyes. He groaned. I swam past him.

"Percy!" he called as I swam farther away. I slowed to a stop. "Percy, I will go with you just this once, but if we get caught we will be in so much trouble!"

"Thanks G-Man!"

As we neared the surface, Grover was getting more nervous by the second. "Percy, we really shouldn't be up here," he would say.

"We're almost there," I told him. "You can stay in if you want."

He looked relieved. "Thanks."

I popped my head through the surface of the water. On the shore, I saw a young girl who looked to be my age. The weird thing: she had legs, unlike me. She had blonde princess curls, tan skin, and was sitting on a rock reading a book.

(Annabeth's POV)

I looked up from my book when I heard a splash coming from the murky water. I set my book down on the rock i was sitting on and stepped into the water. I waded in deeper and stopped when the water was up to my hips. Just then, I saw a head pop up out of the water, scaring the crap out of me.

"AH!" I screeched. I looked over at the thing and saw a boy with messy, raven black hair and sea-green eyes. He looked at me with wide eyes.

"Are you human?" he asked.

"Of course I am! Aren't you?!"

He glanced down, his face pink. "Uh..."

"What's your name?" I asked, thinking about the unanswered question.

"Percy. What's yours?"

"Annabeth." I held out my hand. He reached out and shook it.

"Are you going to get out of this water?" he asked.

"Oh, yeah." I waded back out to shore. He had disappeared. I walked over to my rock where my book still lay.

Percy's head popped out of the water again, right next to the rock. His head was completely dry. "How did you do that?" I asked.

"Do what?" He cocked his head to the side.

"Your hair is dry."

"I don't- I don't know."

"Annabeth?" I heard my father call. "Who are you talking to?"

Percy got a scared look in his eyes.

"No one, Father!"

"Well, come up as soon as you can. Lunch is ready!"

"Yes, Father."

"Um, can I maybe see you again?" Percy asked.

I smiled. "Maybe tomorrow, if you can."

He grinned. "Okay. Maybe. I don't know if the Palace guards will-"

"Palace? There's no palace nearby."

He grinned mischieviously. "There is, you just don't know it's there." With that, he turned and dove under water.

As he did, I got a glimpse of his tail fins.

So, this is my first ever fanfiction... I really have no clue how to use this website (haha) and I have no clue if it's any good or not. Please review!
