No, I don't own the Percy Jackson series. ;( But I did have a dream that I met him in Sarajevo and took him on a tour and for lunch! It was the BEST DREAM EVER! Now if only it was true! D: unfortunately I doubt he even knows where Sarajevo is.

First Story! And I appreciate ideas and feedback. KEEP READING. I bet you'll like how it unfolds.

This is rewritten. I hated the first two chapters. So I fixed them and put them as one. Enjoy! And review! I won't update if no one's reading!

Percy POV

"Percy I'll see you at the airport ok? DON'T be late, seaweed brain" Annabeth's voice chimed through the phone.

"Don't worry I won't, I promise! Love you" I said.

"Love you too"

It was 2:00 pm, two more hours till she landed. Annabeth and her family were moving here to New York, her dad's work had transferred. I was excited, but not as much as mom. She had gone down right crazy when I told her. Paul was happy; he now would have other ways to embarrass me I front of EVERYONE at school. I couldn't believe how the time had flown by. I could still remember our first quest, our first kiss, our first DATE. And now, we would be graduating together.

At 3:30 pm, I hopped into my blue porche (a gift from Poseidon) and drove to the airport. I drove through the busy streets of New York. As I drove past Central Park, I saw many couples together, laughing, kissing, and just enjoying each others company. I couldn't help but think how that would be Annabeth and I in a few days. As I arrived at the airport, I glanced at the text she had sent me, terminal 3. Gods, if only it was that easily to find! Not only was the airport ridiculously complicated, but with my dyslexia "terminal" looked more like "minertal". Alas I found, by mere coincidence that dyslexia can't do too much to a three. I found the closest parking spot, right next to a blue ford Escape. As I hopped out, out of the Escape hopped out the one and only David. David is one of those chill guys that are friends with everyone. He swims for the school team, so I met him right the beginning of high school. He's smart, but not nerdy, popular, but not shallow. We were actually pretty good friends. We had "bonded", or should I say "had the same opinion" on pushing the swim coach into the pool. Quite fun, for us anyway.

As he turned around he saw me. A small smiled appeared.

"Hey man, what are you doing here!" he asked, giving me a small hug.

"Remember I told I was picking Annabeth up today" I replied. I had told him a week ago at swim practice. But then again, I don't remember half the stuff he tells me anyway.

"Right, right you said her family was moving here" he said as we started walking toward the entrance.

"Ya, but she arriving today, the rest are arriving in a week they have some stuff to finish and they wanted her here for the first day of school." I explained. Mr. Chase had been offered an irresistible pay raise and good hours, the catch; moving to New York. It may have messed up Mrs. Chase's mani-pedi plans, but it sure worked out for me.

"Right school. The only good thing that means is swimming" David and I entered terminal three. Good thing he was there. I would have gotten lost as soon as I stepped in. The main entrance split into about five other sections that continued to split according to terminal. Maybe I could find a way to get Annabeth to "remodel". I know she would love it.

Unfortunately, Annabeth couldn't help me here, but luckily David knew around the airport. We found arrivals and headed our own ways.

"I'll see ya in a few days, Perce. Can't wait to meet her." He yelled back at me. Being the kelp head I am it took me about five minutes to figure out who he was talking about. Let's hope this doesn't come up with Annabeth. She'll never stop calling me out on it.

I stopped at the exit for the Southwest flight from San Francisco. After about ten minutes of waiting, passengers started to exit. So many blondes came out but none were Annabeth. What was taking so long! There were short blondes and tall blondes, ugly blondes and those super fake blondes that belonged on MTV. Annabeth was no where to be seen.

"Common Annabeth" I whispered to myself. I swear she was doing this to me on purpose. It took another ten minutes before I saw those bouncing princess curls. Her hair was down, but was a lot longer now. She looked casual, a typical Annabeth. She wore a blue and white stripped tank top with light denim shorts. Over her shoulder was her computer bag and in the other hand she held her suitcase. I pushed my way through the crowd until I was at the very front. As she got to the open area she stopped to get a clip out of her purse, and dropped her laptop.

"Really!" she exclaimed crouching down to get it. At the same time I crouched down and beat her to it.

"When'd you get so clumsy wise girl?" I said as I gave her a smile. She looked pretty pissed, who wouldn't be after dropping a laptop, but as soon as she saw my smile she loosed up.

She put her hand put. "Give it" she said, taking me completely by surprise. I had expected her to throw herself in my arms by now.

"Wise girl, I'm offended!" I said sarcastically to her.

"Oh boo hoo! Cry me a river, Seaweed Brain" she replied cracking a smile. A few eyes were now on us, amused by our conversation.

"Fine" I said, "I guess I'll just leave then" I added as I started to turn around. I slowly started to walk away.

"Wait" she said. I smiled slying as I turned back around. He arms were crossed across her chest.

"Yess?" I said seriously. She walked up to me and kissed me. I smiled before deepening the kiss. But of course being Annabeth she snatched the laptop bag before breaking the kiss. I could here gasps and whispers around us. I wasn't surprised, Annabeth and I sometimes acted more like enemies, or siblings and strangers usually didn't assume we were dating.

"What! That's not fair!" I said smiling at her.

"What? I've told you before, I'll never make it easy for you" she said as she kissed me again.

Annabeth POV

This was originally chapter 2. *Modified and changed.

As we drove home I told Percy about San Francisco. Let's just say my step-mom was the least of my problems. Monsters attacked me everyday, and they weren't necessarily Greek.

"So there's this girl, Julia, she's in my chem class. And she completely hates me. It's absolutely ridiculous." I told Percy as I stared out at the busy lives of New Yorkers. Most were hassling around, trying to keep up with their lives. But as it was early September, I could see a lot of tourists, entering stores, staring at maps. I chuckled at their attempts to get a taxi. One guy nearly got ran over by a truck.

"Why?" He asked as he looked over at me. I zoned back into our conversation.

I sighed. "I don't even know." I didn't lie. I really didn't know. Life at an all girl boarding school was hard. To be honest I had no real friends, no one talked to me, and even some of the teachers didn't like me. The only thing I looked forward to was the occasional visit from Thalia and my daily call from Percy. Not that I would ever tell him that.

"Annabeth?" I heard Percy's voice in the background of my thoughts.

"Hm?" I said as I turned toward him.

"So tomorrow's Goode." He said turning toward me and smiling.

"Ya" I said turning back to the window. I hadn't been to a regular school in so long, I didn't know if I was up for it.

"Do you want to go to see my parents first, or do you want to go home?" He asked. Home. Now it's in New York. Five minutes from Percy. A completely new life. I still hadn't gotten over it. Maybe I'll make friends. There will be less monster attacks. I'll probably have to save Percy's but a few times, but it will work out. I hope.

"Uh…" I love Sally and Paul, but I really just wanted to spend time with Percy alone. "I would love to Perce, but I gotta unpack. And I'm tired, and a mess and-" I looked over at him. "Would they get mad?"

"No they won't." he said hiding a chuckle. "What's the address?" he asked.

"Uh…" I took out the paper with address and key my dad had given me. "965 Young street"

We drove in silence for the next five minutes. I continued to stare out the window. We passed into a quieter side of New York. Both sides were lined with old brick buildings and the occasional park. We drove until we reached an old red brick building. It looked like something that belonged in Rome. It was covered with multiple hues of red and with vines climbing the sides. Big white, crisp windows covered the sides, while the front had big, tall, wood double doors. Mahogany, to be exact. Perce got my suit case and we headed to the entrance. I opened the door for him and he carried in my suit case.

"Gods, those doors are heavy," I told him as he turned to me.

"Aww" he said as he pouted and tilled my chin up to kiss me. "It Wise Girl having a hard time opening doors?" he said sarcastically.

I smacked his arm and I smiled.

"Common, Wise Girl" he said grabbing my hand. Considering how old the building was we should have expected stairs, lots of stairs. But boy were we surprised. The lobby looked like that for a five stair hotel with a huge elevator. We headed to the front desk where I stated my name and last name and was given some pamphlets was rules and such. After taking the elevator to the seventh floor we headed to apartment 729. I took the key out and unlocked the door. Inside was a vastly open and big space. To the left was the kitchen, white cupboards with granite countertops and an island in the center. To the right, the living space with two brown sofas and a coffee table with a flat screen on the wall. And to the back a big harvest dining table with seating for six. Dad had came a few weeks ago to get some furniture ready so that when we moved we wouldn't be stuck eating, sleeping and attempting to unpack on the ground.

Behind the living space was a wide hall that leads to the bedrooms. Three in total. I found mine, the second to the right and opened the door. It was a decently sized room. As soon as you open the door, in front of you is a queen sized bed with cream colored linins. On the left side was a big empty book shelf, soon to be lined with all my books. And on the right a desk with two doors beside. One leading to a bathroom and the other to a closet. The closet was a small walk-in, which was unless to me. And bathroom was also small but I loved it. The floor tiles were marble, and the fixtures looked like there were from ancient times. I took my breath away. Beside the desk was about five boxes filled with my stuff, while my clothes lay in the suitcase Perce made brought up.

"Well… Let's start with the books." I said turning to him.

"I have a better idea" He said as he smiled and entwined him fingers with mine. He leaned in and kissed me, a long, passionate, we haven't kissed in a while, kiss. As we broke apart, he picked me up and carried me to my bed. So much for unpacking, I thought.

But most definitely the best welcome home ever.
