Okay, this story is going year by year. So the next chapter will be "6 Years Old" and the next "7 Years Old." You get the point.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PJO OR GOO (GODS OF OLYMPUS, LOL GOO) AND IF I DID, WHY WOULD I POST MY STORIES ONLINE AND NOT IN A BOOK?

At the swings

Annabeth was sitting at the swings. She had never known her mom, so all she had was her dad, and, her step mom. She was nice enough, but not the same as a real mom.

Percy was also sitting at the swings. He had never known his dad, so all he had was his mom, who worked at a candy store. He had sweets every day, but he was not obese. He was skinny though. His step father was a nightmare. Fat, smelly, mean, that summed up horrible.

"Hi." Percy said.

"Hello." Annabeth said.

"I'm fine, thanks." Percy told her.

"What?" she asked, confused.

"You asked 'How are you," and I replied 'I'm fine," he explained to her.

"No... I said HELLO. You really need to listen more."

"I'm sorry. I'm an A-D-H-D kid. I'm also dyslexic." He said, saying ADHD pronouncing everything as if determined to get it right for once. He had the biggest of smiles on his face.

"Oh. So do I." she said

"You're nice," he said blushing madly. "No-ones ever nice to me. I have no friends."

"Thank you," she said, flushing. "I only have one, Thalia, but she doesn't go here. She is 10 years old."

"Oh, is she nice? Thalia is a cool name."

"Yes she is. She's also goth."

"What's goth?"

"It means that she always wears black, and blackish blue, and grey... Nothing bright. Also she listens to bad music. She has a brother Jason too. He's over there." She said pointing to a nice but popular boy.

"That sounds scary."

"I know, but take my word for it, she is very nice."

"Okee Dokee."

The bell rang.

"Let's go inside." said Annabeth, taking his hand.

"Okee Dokee," he said, blushing madly.

Percy would never admit it to anyone but his mom, but he had a small crush on Annabeth. Annabeth was pretty. And nice. And smart.

And so did Annabeth. Percy was cute. And funny. And nice.

At Percy's Apartmant

"Hey, Brat, get me a soda!" shouted Gabe. Percy hated Gabe.

"NO! GET IT YOURSELF YOU JERK!" Said Percy. He was smiling.

"Why are you smiling?" asked Gabe. His voice was dangerously soft, but Percy didn't know.

"Because I made a new friend at school! See?"

"Who? Was it Jimmy-Picks-His-Nose-Alot?" He asked, mocking Percy.

"No, her name is Annabeth! She is very nice and pr-" Percy stopped himself. He might be 5, but he knows how to speak.

"What was that? Did you call her PRETTY? Has wittle Pewcy found himsewf a wittle girlfwend?"

"No! She is just my friend you big fatty!"

"C'mere kid!" He said.

Just then, lucky Percy's mom came home.

"Percy! How was school?" She asked.

"Can I tell you in my room? I don't want Smelly over here to hear." He whispered to his mother.

"Of coarse sweety."

They entered his room.

"So how was it?" She asked her son.

"I made a new friend!" He said excitedly.

"Really? What's his name? Maybe I can invite him over-"

"She's a girl mom! Her names Annabeth. She was very pretty. And smart. And kind."

"She was pretty? I thought you didn't like girls."

"Why did you think that Mommy?"

"You were always very shy around them."

"Well I'm not shy around Annabeth."

"That's lovely sweetie."

"Can you keep a secret?"

"Of coarse!"

"I have a teeny tiny crush on Annabeth."

"How about we invite her over on Saturday? You'll have fun, I promise. You can eat all the candy you want."

"Okee doke!"

On Saturday

"Hi Annabeth!" cried Percy with delight.

"Hi Percy! HOW ARE YOU?" She said mocking his words.

"I am fine. you?"

"I'm good."

"Wanna play on the swings? I bet I can swing higher than you!"

"You are so on!" Annabeth said, giggling.

They held hands while running to the swings.

"Hello, Mr Chase. I am Percy's mother, Sally Jackson. It's nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mrs Jackson, And I you. But please, call me Frederick."

"Alright then Frederick, I was wondering if you wanted to let Annabeth come over?"

"Of coarse! You know, yesterday, I heard Annie giggling to Thalia about 'The cute boy she made friends with!" It was so adorable."

"Oh that's nothing. Percy was like 'Can I tell you a secret?' and I was like 'Sure!' And then he was like 'I have a crush on Annabeth.' It was so cute!"

"Haha! She's been blushing every day when she comes home from school. It's been worrying me. But now, I think that I understand."

"Oh here they come!"

Percy and Annabeth walked over laughing and arguing playfully.

"No, I swung way higher than you!" Percy shouted.

"Liar! I did!" Annabeth replied.

"NEVER!"

"Okay guys! Settle down! We're going to my Candy Store-"

"YAY!" Annabeth and Percy said together.

"Then Annabeth's going home."

Annabeth sulked, but didn't argue. She was obedient. Percy on the other hand-

"AWWW! Can she stay a BIT longer? :(" whined Percy.

"No, Annabeth's busy tonight."

"Fine!"

At the Candy store...

"Mrs Jackson, did you make this?" Annabeth asked, blue gummies in her hands.

"Yes, in fact, I did!" said Sally happily.

"It's better than any factory made candy I've had."

"Thank you! That's so sweet of you to say. For that, you're getting a whole bag of treats."

"Ooooooo! Thank you so much Mrs. Jackson!"

"Mom?" Percy asked.

"Yes, honey?"

"Can we have the special purple ice-cream?"

"Of coarse. Annabeth's not allergic to blueberries, is she?"

"No, she is fine." Said Frederick.

"Okay, then."

After the Ice-cream and the candy store...

"Bye Percy!"

"Bye Annabeth!"

They had just finished their play date.

"See you soon!"

"See ya!" He held out his hand, but instead Annabeth kissed his cheek and went home with her dad, leaving little Percy dumbfounded.
