Annabeth has been dating Percy for a year now. She's 17, and he's 18. Well, in a few days he will be 19. But Annabeth has no idea for a gift. Everything she can come up seems so cliché and stupid. She has spent weeks thinking about it but still hasn't come up with anything. Today, Saturday, she's alone at her apartment. Percy's visiting his mom. He's coming over tonight.

Annabeth is lying on the couch watching TV when her phone rings. It's Thalia…

Hi, Thals!

Hi, Annie, how are you doing? Probably sitting all alone at your apartment? Can I come over?

First of all, it's Annabeth. Second of all, I'm completely fine with enjoying a little time by myself… But yeah, you can come over. Could you bring some food too?

Yeah, see you in twenty. Bye, Annie.

Annabeth can hear her best friend smirk through the phone. She knows how much she hates being called that.

20 minutes later

"Annieeeee! I'm here!"

"Thalia, it's Annabeth. I'm in the living, bring the food."

Thalia walks in and crashes into the couch next to Annabeth. "So, I brought: chips, chocolate, muffins, pizza, coke and sprite. What do you want?"

"Everything…"

"Ow, our little Annie is not in a good mood… What's wrong?"

"Stop calling me Annie," Annabeth punches Thalia in the shoulder before continuing "it's just… You know, it's almost Percy's birthday and I have no idea what to give him. It's killing me. I don't want to be cliché, I want to be original and surprising…"

"I'm sure he'll love everything you give him anyways. As long as you give it to him. Wait… Have you guys..? I mean, did you ever..? Are you still..?"

"Am I still WHAT?"

"Oh come on Annie, you know what I mean." Thalia smirks staring at the TV-screen.

"Ow, uuhm… Well, no." Annabeth feels her face heat up. She and Percy never had sex. They kiss a lot and sometimes there are some clothes thrown away. But she hasn't ever been completely naked with him. Is that weird? It's not that she doesn't want it… It just never happened before.

"You guys never had sex?! Are you kidding me?! Well, then I surely have the best idea for a present." Thalia's grinning from ear to ear. "Make it perfect. You have on week to make him want it, and then, for his birthday, you give him what he wants."

"You mean I should turn him on? Gods Thalia, I don't know how to do that… I have no idea. What should I do?"

"Well, at first, when you guys are kissing, you should be the one leading. Be rough. But never go too far… Stop after a few minutes and act like nothing happened. It'll drive him crazy. You also have to show a lot of skin." That isn't very clear to Annabeth. She's very smart and all, but when it comes to seducing, her brain stops working. Especially since it's Percy we're talking about here.

"What do you mean by a lot of skin? Should I walk around naked?" she says laughing. That would really surprise Percy…

"No, it has to be suggesting, not slutty. Wear a t-shirt that's too large so your shoulders show, short shorts, when you sit down make sure a whole part of your legs show. Oh, when you have to reach for something in the kitchen you have to make sure some of your waist is visible."

"Thalia! You're such a dirty girl! I didn't know you have so much experience. Who's the guy you needed all these things for?"

"Oh, Annie, we both know Nico needs a little help to realize what he wants…"

"Haha, maybe that's true…"

"It sure is. Now, you have to be careful not to do it to early… Make him suffer and wait for the right moment. He'll be much happier if he has to wait for it. You're the one deciding on what happens, if you decide that something won't happen, it won't. You're the woman after all…"

Annabeth and Thalia talk for a while about this until Thalia leaves… Now Annabeth has to think. Make a plan.

Seaweed Brain is coming tonight. So her seducing plan is starting tonight. What should she do? Thalia told her to show a lot of skin. So she goes to her bedroom to change. But it can't be slutty… Annabeth eventually decides to wear a big shirt, so her right shoulder shows, no bra, and comfy blue shorts. Then she brushes her hair and puts some lipgloss on. Not much, you can barely see it, but it makes her lips shine a little. If you didn't know what she's up to, you'd think she's preparing for a lazy evening on the couch.

So is this a good idea? Should I continue this story? Please review, I won't update until I have 10 reviews… bye
