THE PLAN

Disclaimer: I own none of this not even the plot

Annabeth walked away from Percy smirking after the telling him to stick to the left flank. She knew full well he would stick to the right, but Percy would tell Beckendorf what Annabeth had said, and they would probably go left doing the only offense for their team. As Apollo's cabin would defend the flag, with ranged weapons and the children of Hephaestus and some from Hermes would stall for time. Percy and Beckendorf would use the opportunity to go for the flag.

However, Annabeth knew she could not stall them alone, and she definitely knew she could not fight them. Anabeth needed help.

Just then, Annabeth saw a girl with long black hair and big brown eyes, a daughter of Aphrodite. Yeah, of course she was pretty, but actually a halfway decent fighter, just what Annabeth needed. Silena from the Aprhodite cabin said something to Beckendorf, flipped her hair and walked away. Annabeth noticed Beckendorf's love struck look as Silena walked towards Annabeth. Yup, Annabeth was definitely was starting to form a plan.

Silena and Annabeth slowly and quietly stalked Beckendorf and Percy as they thundered through the forest, the girls would occasionally share a giggle a quite giggle when the boys would say a particularly embarrassing thing about none other than the girls following them.

The plan that Silena and Annabeth had ended up coming up with was to distract the two boys, respectively, and then take them prisoner due to the fact that with them out of the picture there was no way the Athena-Ares alliance could lose. The girls saw their chance when Beckendorf went off somewhere with his sword drawn leaving Percy all alone, the girls knew this was there best chance as they ran up and Annabeth drew her knife sticking it right in front of Percy's neck "surprise" she smirked, so far so good.

Silena screamed as she saw Beckendorf , HER Charlie, jump off of the rock formation right onto the stampeding automaton's back. Then a huge smile of relief swept over her face as she saw the son of Hephaestus rip the control panel out of the Dragon's neck. As Charlie slid of off the golden creation, Silena rushed up to him and gave him a big hug, almost crushing the demi-god's ribs! Then, she tilted her face up towards her Charlie's and gave him a kiss that only a daughter of Aphrodite can give.

I smiled as I observed Beckendorf ask Silena to the fireworks, the biggest couples event of the year. Seaweed Brain and I were behind the two lovebirds giving them some space. I looked over to see Percy, adorable, idiotically blind Percy. "You know," I said, not quite knowing where the words were coming from, "that wasn't the bravest thing I have ever seen, but you distracting the dragon takes the cake for me." I smiled at Percy.

"Thanks," he replied, giving me a smile as he stumbled and I took his hand. "I guess Beckendorf and Silena are going to the fireworks."

I agreed, liking where this was finally headed for me and Seaweed Brain. "Yeah, about that," however Percy never got the chance to finish his thought as three members from my Athena cabin came out of hiding, drawing their swords at Percy before he could even unleash Riptide.

"Ah sh-," was all I heard in front of me to see Beckendorf with Silena's sword at "her" Charlie's throat. Silena looked at me and shrugged as if to say "just play along".

As we put the boys into jail, I turned to Percy and sucked up my Olympian courage, "So… I'll see you at the fireworks."

With that I gave Percy a wink and walked away, but not before I heard Percy and Beckendorf…

"Did she just ask me out?"

"No idea, give me a haywire dragon any day, girls are too tough to figure out."

"Yeah, definitely"

I smiled as I walked away. Everything had gone according to plan……well, almost.
