AN: This takes place between BoTL and TLO. Annabeth is alone in San Francisco on her least favorite day of the year, when she gets a surprise visit from you-know-who!

Annabeth POV

Halloween. I hate it with a passion. And I'm stuck alone at my house in San Francisco so none of my camp friends are here! Gods I miss them so much! Especially Percy...oh my gods did I just think that!? I am not falling for him!

Oh gods I am. Oh gods. I wonder if he likes me too? When I kissed him in the labyrinth he didn't kiss me back, so that makes me think he doesn't like me. But he did look like he was melting afterwards...

Well it's obvious he likes you! A voice spoke in my head.

There is only one being in the world that could be.

Aphrodite? Why are you in my head?

Honey, I'm the goddess of love. You were thinking about love, it's my business to go in your head and listen to your thoughts!

Who said anything about love? I said I like him, I didn't say I love him! Even in my head, my refusal sounded weak.

Ha! You just said it!

Ugh! Fine! I think I may be in love with Percy Jackson! Okay? Better?

I heard a squeal in my head so loud it shook my eyes and made my teeth rattle.

Ow! Aphrodite! You just busted my eardrums!

Oh. Sorry. She didn't sound particularly sorry. I'm just sooo excited because the cutest couple of all time just admitted their feelings for each other! Well, not face to face. Yet.

I could feel my heart racing. Wait, he likes me back? How do you know?

Honey, I'm the goddess of love. He was thinking about you, I went in his head. In fact, I'm in both of your heads at the same time! But he doesn't know. Anyway, he snuck on a quest and travelled across the country to save you last winter. What do you think?

His fatal flaw is loyalty! Oh course he would do that! And Artemis was in danger too, I wasn't the only reason he did that!

I talked to him when they were on the quest. He said he was only going to save you. Plus, you saw his reaction after you kissed him. He is in love!

What? He loves me? He went across the country to save me? And he loved me when I kissed him? And then I practically told him I didn't feel the same way when when I ran away from him on the hill when he was leaving. And I never even acknowledged the kiss! And I was the one to kiss him! He must be so confused!

Tell him how you feel, honey.

Aphrodite? You're still here?

Yes. Now you better think of a way to tell him your feelings, and quickly because he will be at your house right about-

The doorbell rang.

Now!

I am so glad nobody else is here! How would I explain the magic appearing of Percy to my house! Oh gods how am I supposed to do this?

Relax Annabeth, just calm down. It will be fine. I told myself.

I ran to the front door, unlocked it, and opened it. Percy was standing there, hands in his pockets, looking down. I don't think he heard the door open. "Hey Seaweed Brain!"

He looked up, and grinned, "hey Wise Girl! Miss me?" I must have blushed, because he started laughing. "I missed you two Wise Girl. Hey, guess what!"

"What?"

"Thalia gets to come to Camp for Christmas break! Chiron said to Iris-Message you and tell you to see if you wanted to come. I figured I'd do one better and come tell you in person!"

"Of course I want to come Kelp Head! You didn't have to come all the way to San Francisco to ask me!"

He blushed, embarrassed.

"But, since you're here...I have something to tell you. But come inside before we freeze to death! It's October 31st at like 6 at night, and we are standing here on the porch."

"Don't remind me. I hate Halloween."

"Don't we all. We spend all year fighting monsters who are trying to kill us, then a whole day gets devoted to them and people dress up like them!"

"I know! But I do like the candy."

I slapped him on the arm, "you are such a Seaweed Brain!"

He grinned, "thanks!"

"Percy!" I groaned, laughing. "Oh I just remembered that my dad told me I had to start handing out candy now. Want to help?"

"Do I get any?" He asked, making he most pathetic puppy dog face I have ever seen.

"Hahahaha! You should see your face! You look like a dog that has been run over by a Fury on a tractor!" I laughed.

He frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing." I grabbed the candy bowl, "are you gonna help? I'll let you have a little candy if you do!"

"Yes, I'll help. But what was that supposed to mean? That you think I'm ugly?" He looked so sad when he said this, I just had to make him feel better.

"Oh no, Percy. You're not ugly at all!"

He smirked, "so you think I'm hot?"

My eyes widened, and I think my face was about as red as a tomato. He laughed,"kidding, kidding. Now lets hand out some candy."

Thank the gods that moment is over! I thought, as we walked to the front door.

Come on and make a move already!

Aphrodite? Again? Really?

Yes really! Now tell him how you feel pronto! Or; better yet, have him tell you first!

Ugh. Having a love goddess meddling in your love life is complicated. But it does make some things easier!

I set the bowl of candy on the table next to the front door and unlocked it. "So, uh, Percy. Is there any other reason why you came here?"

"Well...uh...actually..." He looked uncomfortable. "Yes. There is. Um, when you um...kissed me-" that part was barely a whisper. "On-uh- on Mt. Saint Helen's, um...it uh, it made me realize something." He looked down.

"Yes...?"

"Well...ahh." He lifted his head and looked me in the eye. "I-I don't know how to say this without it being weird...but...I, I'm kind of in lo- I, uh, you mean so much to me Annabeth. It's alright if you don't feel the same way...but I think I'm in love with you."

I grinned so wide my smile must have been 10 inches wide. Then I did something I didn't expect. I grabbed him on either side of his face, and kissed him.
He seemed shocked at first, but quickly returned the kiss, and wrapped his arms around my waist.

At some point my hands found their way around Percy's neck and into his hair. I don't know how long it went on, only that it as pure bliss. But we may have made a mistake in our location, because the moment turned awkward. Very awkward.

There was a sound like the front door opening, then a gasp and a laugh being stifled.

My eyes flew open, and I jumped away from Percy. I looked at the open front door, and none other than my best friend Thalia stood there.

"Am I interrupting something?" She asked with a grin.

I coughed, "no."

"We were just handing out candy," Percy said.

"Really Percy? Cause I have eyes. And unless you two were feeding each other candy with your mouths, I highly doubt it." She then processed to double over in laughter.

My face felt like lava was being poured over it. One glance at Percy, and I could see he was just as embarrassed as I was.

"Thalia! Stop! Anyway what are you doing here!"

"I came to visit my best friend while the Hunters and I were hunting some monsters in the area. But, I can see you are busy locking lips with Percy." She looked like she could barely contain her laughter. I was going to kill her later.

"Thalia," I hissed, "we were not 'locking lips'"

"Beg to differ, my dear young Annabeth."

"Can we change the subject?" Percy asked.

"No." Thalia said. "You guys gotta tell me why Percy is here."

Percy and I exchanged glances.

"He came to tell me that you were visiting for Christmas and wanted to know if I was coming. Chiron sent him." It wasn't a lie, but not the whole truth either. But if Thalia didn't believe it she didn't say anything.

"Fine. But don't think I will forget this, you two. I wish I had taken a photo, this would be perfect blackmail material. I could use it to-" she was cut off by a small wolf jumping onto the porch and yipping at her. She sighed. "I'm on my way." She turned to us and said, "the Hunters and I have to go or else we will lose the scent. Bye guys! See you for Christmas!" She called over her shoulder as she ran off.

"Bye Thals!" I called.

"See ya, Pinecone face!" Percy smirked, "so where were we?" he asked coyly.

I lightly slapped his arm. "Percy!" I scolded. "But...I do."

"You do what?"

"Feel the same way."

"You, you do?" He asked, looking dumbfounded.

"Percy, I just grabbed your face and smashed my lips against yours. What do you think?"

He blushed. "So do you want to finish what we were doing before we were so rudely interrupted?" He asked with a smirk.

"Gladly." I said, wrapping my arms around his neck and leaning in.

I can easily say that it was my best Halloween ever.
