A/N: Hey guys, first story, hope you all enjoy it, mainly just Percabeth fluff but with a plot. Also, I am Australian and have never been to New York, so if I muck things up, sorry! Don't forget to review!

Chapter 1: Airports and Annabeth
I hate the airport. With a passion. Stupid people with their stupid cars driving stupidly. But I was willing to forget that today, Annabeth was coming home. She had gone to visit her Dad and stepmom in San Francisco and was now coming back, to New York. Her boarding school wasn't open to students during the winter so she was staying with Mom, Paul and I until school started again. My phone chimed.

I slid my finger across the touch screen and pulled into an empty parking space.
Hey Perc, plane has just hit the tarmac, see you soon! Xx

'Shit!' I was going to be late if I didn't hurry, I threw on my jacket, jumped out of the car, locked it and ran towards the building.

It was the start of the Christmas Season, so JFK Airport was absolutely packed. Well more packed than it usually is anyway. I ran to check the timetable boards.
Flight 187 from San Francisco, Landed, Gate 19.

Other side of the airport, just great. I turned and ran down to the metal detectors. I managed to get through them with no worries and started off at a sprint towards Gate 19.

I managed to reach the right Gate just when passengers started filing through. I kept my eyes peeled for the girl with blonde hair and grey eyes. Every time I would see blonde head my hopes would soar, but then I would see their face. No luck. Finally I saw her. Her hair was in loose ringlets cascading down her back, she was wearing a black shirt with a leather jacket, denim cargo pants and a pair of high heeled lace up combat boots. She had a trace of make up on and when she saw me her entire face lit up.

She half walked/ half ran towards me and leapt into my arms, I lifted her up and swung her around planting her lips on mine.

'I missed you,' she murmured against my mouth. I pulled away and hugged her, burying my face in her hair.
'Missed you too.'

The drive back to my apartment was long but we didn't mind. I put on Annabeth's favourite CD and she sang along, in between telling me what had happened at her dads. She said it was uneventful, mainly just her stepmom giving her glares when she thought her dad wasn't looking.
'So,' I said when we were in traffic at a red light, 'As you know, Mom and Paul are getting married next week, and Mom was wondering whether you would come with her to the bridal shop to take a look at her dress tomorrow. She really wanted a second opinion and she doesn't want to ask Paul, plus the rest of her relatives aren't coming till 2 days before the wedding so..?' I kinda realised at one point that I was rambling on a bit, but I just really wanted her to say yes, I know how much Mom wants this.
She smiled at me, 'Of course Seaweed Brain, you know I love your Mom! I would do anything for her. As long as you're my date for the wedding.' she added, almost as an afterthought.

I grinned. 'Definitely Annabeth, I can't wait to see you all dressed up, in a pretty dress, hair all extravagant and 6 inch heels...' I faltered as I pulled into a parking space out the front of my house. I had just noticed a very familiar car parked on the other side of the street.

'Holy gods..'

Annabeth looked worriedly at me. 'What's wrong?'
I glanced at her and things started to spill out of my mouth.
'My friends are here, and they are a little weird, I love them but its complicated, and I have told them that I have a girlfriend but I don't really think they believed me.'
To my relief, Annabeth just laughed.
'I'm a demigod Perc, I can handle anything.'
