Okay so this is my 2nd (actually 3rd) Percy Jackson fanfic. Anyways, I realized (im so smart…) but the whole series is written in Percy's point of view. So Im not sure why but I wanted to do a Percabeth fanfic. I don't really get into parings and romance but when it comes to Zack and Kelly (saved by the bell) and Percy and Annabeth I make an exception. But I didn't want to write something all mushy and stuff so I decided to do parts in the books as Annabeth's POV. I read Annabeth's interview like 100 times in the Demi God files, because it's the only article of writing in the series in her POV. I hate OOC so I studied her interview. I tried my best to make it as Annabeth as possible. This I guess part or chapter or whatever is in BOTL when Annabeth and Percy see Rachel in all gold and stuff and ask her to help them. Obviously she's jealous. So leave a review and please tell me if she's an OOC or not… I did my fuckin best! So be fuckin nice! Oh and there's kind of a funny little I guess misunderstanding between Percy and Annabeth… it's not hinted in the book but I thought it made it a bit humorous.

Percy and I walked to Times Square. One part of me was still mad at him, the other part of me was just happy he was alive. I looked ahead and I thought a saw a girl in gold. She didn't move at all. No blinking or flinching. I was kind of amazed. She wasn't alone though. There were others in bronze and silver. It was almost disturbing. I was a little freaked out about it but I was also humored about it. From the looks of it they were raising money for art.

Percy and I just stood there for a few mintues staring at Rachel. I noticed Percy looking at her in a weird way. It kid of made me angry. It's not that im jealous or anything! I don't even think of Percy that way. It's not like he's my boyfriend, if he likes her I don't care! I mean why would I care!? I looked back at Rachel and I had like some uncontrollable feeling like I had to say something, it came out like word vomit. I was basically saying what I was thinking.

"Maybe if we push her over," I suggested.

I think it was a little mean but it was funny, and it was true! It made my day.

Then some guy in silver came over and struck a preaching pose. He looked even stranger than Rachel. Rachel relaxed and finally opened her mouth.

"Hey Percy! Good timing. Let's get coffee." She said.

Percy, me and the golden girl walked to a place called Java Moose. We all ordered and had a seat. I started realizing no one looked twice at Rachel. When we got settled down she looked at me with a 'warm' (she looked like flashing in my eyes being covered in gold and the lights on the roof lit up) glow.

"It's Annabel, right?"

I snapped at her. The same way I snap at Mr. D when he gets my name wrong too.

"Annabeth." I corrected. "Do you always dress in gold?"

"Not usually." Rachel said. "We're raising money for our group. We do volunteer art projects for elementary kids. Because their cutting art in schools. Are you a half blood to?"

Now I know it's unbelievable and even If anyone did know or I did tell they wouldn't believe me but Rachel didn't have to say it so loud! It's a secret. I don't want to be a soccer ball.

"Shh!" I said looking around. "Just announce it to the whole world how about it!?"

Rachel gave me an if you say so look.

"Okay."

She stood up. I wanted to kick her. You know Charlie horse. It would be funny. She'd fall over backwards but I don't think that'd be the best idea. I wasn't that mean. And she kinda was our only hope. She cleared her throat and announced,

"Hey everybody! These two aren't human! They're half Greek god!"

Rachel looked around. No one even acknowledged her. She shrugged and sat back down. My jaw dropped. What made me even madder was that Percy kinda laughed to himself. When Rachel sat back down she looked at me.

"They don't seem to care." She said.

"That's not funny! This isn't a joke mortal girl!" I replied back.

I was angry. I was really angry. What she did was unwise and immature. I waited for her to say something back so I could think of a even better come back but Percy broke us off.

"Hold it you two. Just calm down." He said.

I figured it'd be smart of me to just stop talking for a while. So I shut up and crossed my arms and gazed into the air. I felt like a idiot. Of course Rachel had the last word.

"I'm calm. Every time I'm around you, some monster attacks us. What is there to be nervous about?" She exclaimed.

"Look, im sorry about the band room. I hope they didn't kick you out or anything." Percy said.

"Nah. They asked me a lot of questions about you. I played dumb."

I happened again. I felt like I didn't have to say it but, I couldn't hold it back! And I needed a laugh. I turned my head to Rachel for a few seconds.

"Was it hard?" I said and snickered to myself.

"Okay stop it!" Percy once again had to be all referee. It kinda made me mad. Whose side was he on any way? Wait, not that im saying I want him to like me! What I mean is, who does he, he… Forget it! Were technically all on the same team. Percy continued to play referee.

"Rachel we need your help." He said.

Rachel narrowed her eyes at me.

"You need my help!?"

I was going to say something but I figured I had already had my fun. It was time to get serious. But I had a hard time holding it back. So to distract myself I played with my straw.

"Maybe…." I said.

Percy and I told Rachel about the Labyrinth and how we needed to find Daedalus. We told her about the last few times we'd gone.

"So you want me to guide you?" She said. "Through a place I've never been."

"You can see through the mist. Just like Ariadne. Im betting you can see the right path. The Labyrinth won't be able to fool you as easily." Percy said.

"And if you're wrong?"

"Then we get lost. Either way it'll be dangerous."

"I could die?"

"Yeah."

"I thought you said monsters didn't care about mortals."

"Yeah. Most monsters will ignore you. But Luke, he doesn't care. He'll use mortals, demigods, monsters whatever. And he'll kill anyone who get's in his way."

Rachel slouched and placed her elbows on the table and rolled her eyes.

"Nice guy."

I got a little sad. I hated it when people brought up Luke. I still didn't want to believe it. And he wouldn't hurt anyone. At least not me. I hope he wouldn't hurt me. I know Luke better than anyone else. He'd never do harm to me. I pleaded Thalia to spare him. I had such a hard time thinking about him. I was so confused. I decided to defend Luke.

"He's under the influence of a titan. He's been deceived."

I wasn't as angry. I'd cool down a bit. I just barely caught a glimpse of Percy. He was looking at me in a way I hadn't seen. Like he almost regretted what he had said. Rachel straighted herself up and looked back in fourth between us.

"Okay! I'm in!" She said head held high.

Percy looked at her in disbelief. I'll admit I was a little surprised to.

"Are you sure?"

"Hey my summer was going to be boring. This is the best offer I've gotten yet. So what do I look for?"

"We have to find a entrance to the Labyrinth." I said. "Theres a entrance at Camp Half Blood, but you can't go there. It's off limits to mortals."

It wasn't until after I said it that I realized I went from being bitter to just brutal. So maybe I could have said that better, but it's not like I was lying!

"Okay, what does the entrance to the labyrinth look like?"

"It could be anything. It would have a Greek delta glowing blue." I said.

"Like this."

Rachel traced the delta in water. I was a bit stunned. Goldie here was actually pretty smart. I still didn't like her but she had some brains.

"That's it! You know Greek?" I said.

"No. Let me get changed. You'd better come with me to the Marriot." She said.

"Why?" I replied.

"Because there's a entrance like that in the hotel basement. It's got the mark of Daedalus."

Okay so the little misunderstanding joke is when Percy is starring at Rachel because she's standing perfectly still. In the book he's all amazed because he could never do that because he has ADHD. But I thought it's be funny if Annabeth thought it meant he liked her or something. Uh, request a chapter or whatever. BUT NOT PAGE 203 BOTL! OKAY! I THINK SOMONE ELSE DID THAT ALREADY! All right im done here. BYES!

Leave a review… OOC or not
