Year 1999

6 year old Annabeth's POV

"Annabeth! Wake up! It's moving day!"

I opened my eyes, and jump out of bed. Today is moving day! I brushed my teeth and ran downstairs.

When I got to Daddy, I jumped up and down shouting, "Yay! This is so exciting! Wait... where are we moving to again?"

Daddy chuckled, "We're moving to New York City, buddy."

We ate some yummy pancakes and cleaned up some things from our house before we left. Daddy put our suitcases in our car and he drove us to the airport.

"Are we there yet?" I asked.

"Not yet kiddo," Daddy said.

"Are we there yet?" I asked again.

"Not yet Annabeth," Daddy laughed.

When we got there, we saw big, giant planes. I never went on a plane before!

After we got into the plane, I sat down beside Daddy and the plane took off after a while.

I looked outside the window, the city got smaller and smaller until we were touching the clouds. All I could see was white fluff.

"It's so cool!" I said.

Daddy smiled at me, "Yes it is, kiddo"

"How long is this trip going to be?" I asked him.

"Almost six hours," he told me.

"Isn't that a looooong time," I said.

"It is honey, but to pass some time you could watch tv, or read a book, or draw some houses."

My eyes lit up, I love drawing houses!

~About 6 hours later~

By now I was covered in my drawings of houses.

"Daaaddddy are we there yet?" I asked Daddy.

The voice from the speaker answered for me, "Hello passengers, we are now landing in New York City, we hoped you enjoyed your flight."

After the plane had landed, we got our suitcase and Daddy drove us to our new home.

"We're here Annabeth!" said Daddy excitedly.

I looked at our new house, it was so pretty!

There were some windows, greek style columns (I drew them a lot in my house drawings), nicely white painted fences and a big, white garage door. We went into the house and we saw my room. It was really big, bigger than my old room. There was even a beautiful window!

"Isn't it nice Daddy?" I said.

"Yes, it's very nice. But, I don't think they should've put a window right across our neighbors window, it invades your privacy," he frowned.

I thought a little, "But Daddy, what if our neighbor could be my friend?"

"Maybe, Annabeth, maybe."

~A few hours later~

Daddy and I helped the moving people moves our furniture. After, we finished placing most of our furniture and the moving people left, the doorbell rang. But my Daddy was still moving furniture upstairs. I know that Daddy had told me not to answer the door when he wasn't home but, he is home isn't he?

I opened the door. There in front of me was a woman with dark brown hair and pretty blue eyes. The woman was with a boy who looked about my age. He had blue-green eyes that looked like the sea.

Daddy came downstairs. He greeted them, "Hi, I'm Frederick Chase and this is my daughter Annabeth."

The woman smiled kindly, "I'm Sally Jackson and this is my son Percy."

The boy made a small wave.

"Please, come in," my dad said to them.

While our parents were talking, I said to Percy, "Do you wanna go play something?"

He shook his head, "Okay!"

We ran upstairs and I showed him my room.

"Do you wanna play lego or snakes and ladders?" I asked him.

"Let's play... lego!" he answered.

We started making some buildings and I made mine look like one of the houses I drew on the plane.

"Wow, Annabeth, that's really good." Percy said.

I blushed, "Thanks, I want to be an architect when I am a grown up."

"What an arc- an arcatech?" he tried to say.

I laughed, "An architect is a person who designs buldings like houses, or really tall buildings. What do you want to be?"

"I want to be a person who swims in contests!" Percy said.

"You mean like an Olympic swimmer?" I asked.

Percy grinned, "Yup!"

"What's your favorite color?" I said.

"Blue!"

"Mine's gray," I told him.

We kept on building and I noticed that he kept looking at my window. After a while I decided to ask him why he kept looking at my window.

He answered, "I think my window from my bedroom is across from yours."

"Really? Let's check after you go home." I suggested.

After that we kept talking about what we liked to do. Percy told me that his mom always made blue food and that his favorite was blue chocolate cookies.

"Since you like the sea, swimming and blue food so much, I think I'll call you... seaweed brain!" I exclaimed.

"Ummm... well, then you're a...ummm... a wise girl!" he tried to make a nickname for me.

I laughed, "wow, that's great seaweed brain."

"Percy! Time to go home!" Percy's mom called out.

"Coming mom!" Percy shouted back, then he turned to me.

"I'll see you later wise girl!" he ran downstairs.

After a few minutes, Percy called from his window, "Hi Annabeth!"

I went to my window and saw Percy, "Hi Percy!"

So what do you think? Should I make this a four shot?
