A/N If you haven't read Forever the Optimist's Percy Jackson and the Zygon Campaign, I would suggest you read that first.

Annabeth's POV
My mind whirred with excitement. A few hours earlier, the Doctor had asked me to travel with him in his time and space machine.
"Come with me," he repeated. "See the stars, learn all there is to know. I haven't got anyone to travel with right now, and, well… Percy could come to."
"Yes!" I suppressed a squeal of excitement and turned to Percy. "Let me go talk to Chiron!"
I started to run towards the Big House, than stopped. "Percy? Are you going to come to?" I hoped I didn't sound nervous. but I couldn't imagine leaving Percy to travel the whole of time and space.
"What? Really? Me? Yeah, sure, I'll come," Percy sounded surprised he'd been asked.
This time, I didn't suppress the squeal, grinning, I raced to the Big House to tell Chiron.
Chiron took it well, he didn't protest, and Mr. D didn't care one way or another.
"Alright, Annabel, go whoever you want. Good riddance, taking that Peter with you," Mr. D waved his hand and a bottle of diet pepsi appeared.
I didn't even bother to correct him as I hurried to the Athena Cabin. Grabbing a duffel bag, I began to pack.
"Are you going off to travel with the Doctor?" I jumped as Malcolm spoke up from behind me.
"Yeah," I carefully placed my Daedalus laptop on top of my clothes. "You're in charge while I'm gone. IM me if any new Athena campers come."
I slung the duffel bag over my shoulder and leaned for a quick hug.
Percy's POV
I blinked in surprise as the Doctor included me in his offer to travel with him. Honestly, I had expected to be left behind. Smiling, I watched as Annabeth ran to the Big House, then headed to my cabin. Tyson sat on his bed, hunched over a mess of screws and bolts.
"Hey big guy," I sat next to him. "I'm going away for a while, to travel with the Doctor. I need you to take care of the camp while I'm gone, ok?"
"How long will you be gone," Tyson didn't sound too upset.
I shrugged. "Honestly, I'm not sure. But I'll miss you."
Tyson crushed me in a big hug. "I'll miss you too, brother."
I pulled out a duffel bag and haphazardly stuffed my things in them, struggling with the zipper.
"I made something for Annabeth," Tyson handed me a thick metal thing with a bulb on the end surrounded by prongs of a sort.
"Okay, I'll make sure I give it to her," I slipped it into one of my bag's side pockets.
"So, you're leaving?" Grover leaned in the doorway.
"If you want to come with us, I can ask-" I started.
Grover came towards me. "No, I'm on the Council. I can't just leave. Besides, you need to get away from the world of gods and monsters for a while."
I smiled, and pulled him into a man-hug. "See you."
Grover trotted off, and I headed to the TARDIS.
