Being the son of the sea god isn't all that great to be honest with you. It's a lot of hard work.
I've constantly had Blackjack pestering me about random sea creatures getting stuck in fishing lines or fishing nets. Like one time for instance, I was sitting on the beach with my girlfriend, we were holding hands, just relaxing and enjoying ourselves when all of a sudden a giant black pegasus, (Blackjack of course) comes swooping down and delivers me a message, "Yo, boss, we have a problem. There's some dolphin stuck in a fishing net and he hopes that you can get him out."
"I'm in the middle of something right now Blackjack, could you maybe come back later or possibly ask someone else?" I replied.
Then Annabeth gave me a stern look. "Percy don't be mean and don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Go save the dolphin he's probably really freaking out right now."
I gave her a confused look, "Are you sure Annabeth?" I asked.
"Yes seaweed brain I'm sure. Now go save the dolphin I'll be here when you get back I promise."
"Okay then let's go Blackjack, I'll see you in a little bit Annabeth." I gave her a short but passionate kiss. I hopped on to Blackjacks back and we started to soar into the air. I swear I could still see Annabeth blushing as red as an apple from the kiss I just gave her, but I let it go and decided to concentrate on how I was going to free the dolphin from the net.
I was really trying my hardest to concentrate on how to save the dolphin, okay maybe not that hard, but Annabeth just kept on popping in my head. I hated leaving Annabeth there by herself. I really felt like I left her alone to much but she keeps pestering me about how I should stop worrying about her so much. I mean who wouldn't worry about her? I just want to make sure nothing bad happens to her. I mean she's a girl that I truly care about and that I really don't want to lose. Annabeth is the best thing that's ever happened to me before in my life. She's beautiful, intelligent, random, and confusing at times, but yet still so beautiful, I said that already didn't I? Well anyway I finally got my mind set back on the fact that I had to save a dolphin from a net. After a few minutes I had my strategy planned out on how to free the dolphin. I was so deep in thought that I forgot I was with Blackjack.
"So boss, what's your plan on saving the dolphin?" Blackjack asked.
"Well Blackjack I was just hoping that I would just have to cut the ropes with Riptide and then the dolphin would be free again." I realized that, that was a pretty simple and easy plan.
Blackjack turned his head and looked at me. "That sounds like a plan boss. We're almost there, I'll just hover over the water and you can jump in and I'll wait for you to come back up." I looked at Blackjack dumbfounded.
I really couldn't believe that horses are smart in a way, and that my own father created them. Blackjack finally stopped and just hovered over the water. "Here is your drop off point boss, the dolphin should be stuck somewhere down there."
