A/N: Thank you so much for clicking on this story. I had a lot of requests from my previous story "The Demigod Plan" to do a back in time story. I am really excited! Anyways, lets start. Percy and Annabeth accidentally find a time machine that takes them back in time to ancient Greece.
Percy's POV:
To start camp, I had something really nice planned for Annabeth tonight. I was excited to show her and have been working on it for a long time now. It may be really cheesy but she will like it. She likes cheese, so the high cheese factor shouldn't be bad, right? I just had to bend a few rules…
I sat at my table with Tyson who was spending the summer at camp this year. We were eating dinner and he was talking about some new weapons he welded today with the Hephaestus cabin.
"And then, the new blade cut me, brother. Ooowweeee!" He hollered as he sucked on his thumb.
"I bet it hurts, Tyson. Can I let you in on a secret?" I asked him. He nodded and completely forgot about his minor flesh wound.
"Trust me with anything, yup yup!" He whispered, but was really loud.
"I'm taking Annabeth out tonight, so can you make sure that you don't tell anybody? I will be out most of the night so don't freak out. But don't tell anybody!" I told him over our plate.
"I'll be sure. Lips zipped." He said, and threw away the imaginary key.
"Lips zipped, Romeo. Romeo, where for art thou Romeo. Lips zipped." Ella repeated next to Tyson. He blushed smiled at Ella.
"You too have fun." I told them and I stood up. Dinner was done and I had to catch Annabeth.
"Wise Girl…" I whispered in her ear as I walked past her. She must have been blushing because some of her sisters giggled.
I waited for her a few feet away from her cabin. She finished dinner and walked over to me. Annabeth tucked a golden piece of hair behind her ear and folded her arms across her chest.
"What now, Seaweed Brain?" She tried to sound annoyed but her voice broke the façade and showed her playing with me.
"I got to show you something. Tonight. 10:30 okay?" I asked.
"That would require me sneaking out of my cabin…" She took a step closer. "And that's against the rules…"
"But your good at that." I said rolling my eyes. "It's easy for you, with that whole cap of invisibility you got there."
"Yeah, I guess…" She smiled and leaned in to share a kiss with me. "Well, it sounds like I'm free. Where do you want me to go?"
"How about I pick you up at your cabin."
"Ok. See you then." She walked into Athena's cabin and closed the door. I smiled to myself and sprinted to the Poseidon cabin. As an attempt to clean myself up, I dragged a comb through my dark hair and washed my face. Annabeth has seen me in worse so it was ok.
Tyson came in and sat on his bed.
"You still going out?" He asked.
"Yep. Goodnight, Tyson."
"Night, brother." he yawned and made the bed arch with his weight.
My eyes didn't leave the alarm clock as I watched the minutes and individual seconds go by.
*OFFICIAL PAGE BREAK*
It was 10:26 when I left the cabin, riptide safe in my jeans pocket. I shut the door as quietly as I could and crept to the Athena cabin.
"Annabeth?" I called at a whisper. Something poked my side and my girlfriend shimmered into existence.
"Where are we going?" She asked, hooking her arm into mine.
"The beach." I told her and she smiled. It may not be standing next to the Eiffel tower, but it was one thing that she liked.
"This could be totally stupid, but I think it's cool." She hugged tighter to my right arm and I led her to the spot where I have been training for the last few days. I sat her down in the sand and told her I will be right back.
I waded into the water and had the water propel me underneath. I quickly whistled and five dolphins, a school of clown fish, and all the starfish I could gather a few days ago rushed forward to great me.
"Ready? Remember what I told you-stay in line." I winked at them with the thumbs up. "Break a leg." I shot myself back to the beach and walked to the shore, as dry as ever.
"Presenting, live, The Amazing Rocket ships!" I announced and went to take a seat next to Annabeth.
"The what?" She asked with a confused look.
I shrugged my shoulders. "We voted on the name."
The act was only a few minutes long and the only light was from the moon but it was perfect. The show took both of our breath away.
Dolphins flipped about, the clownfish jumped in an array of different colors and the starfish washed up in perfect lines to spell out "I Love You". Then the grand finale came and Annabeth was speechless. The five dolphins jumped over on top of each other. Then with our timed rehearsal, the clownfish spun in circles as the dolphins bobbed up and down in an opposite spinning ring. The last wave came and the starfish formed a smiley face.
"Percy that was amazing!" Annabeth stood up and looked at the performers. "I loved it!" She spun around and hugged me, kissed me, did whatever that made you forget where you are, what is happening, who you are. It's that speechless kiss that I yearn for every time.
"Would you like to meet them?" I asked.
"Sure." She smiled and waded out into the water. I motioned for flipper and his gang to come forwards. They halted at our feet. Annabeth leaned down and stroked their heads, thanking them for he performance.
"They are really cute." She said, moving onto the colorful starfish.
All of a sudden, the tide receded and all of Poseidon's creatures were washed away and back into the sea.
"What the-" I stuttered. The waves came back, but farther up shore. We were now waist deep in salt water. Annabeth shrieked as her legs got soaked. I tried to push the water back but it only pushed back harder.
"Annabeth, we need to get out of the water." I told her. We didn't have time to move before a large wave carried us out to the ocean. Annabeth clung to me and I was tangled in her frantic limbs and flowing hair. We bobbed back to the surface and Annabeth gasped for a breath. I was used to being able to breath underwater so I didn't mind. We went deeper down and I took a breath in. A breath of water. This is not normal. Water filled my lungs and I felt like I was drowning. Something was messing with this water. I opened my eyes and looked up. We were at the bottom of a funnel, and where we are going, I was at loss. All I could do was hold onto Annabeth as tight as I could and hope we were going to be okay.
Then we plunged into darkness.
A/N: Good? Sorry, I just got hung up and kept writing and writing! Please, Please, Please review. I am the writer of The Demigod Plan, if you are familiar with that story. Oh, an I'm sorry if that "Date" was stupid/cheesy/weird. I just couldn't think of anything!
