Hey, so anybody who has been following my story The Return are most likely mad at me, but I am taking a break on that. Not discontinuing it, but taking a break. As requested, here is another one shot. I might just turn this into a series of one shots. I know people have already done this, but I want to give it shot. Here we go!

P.S I don't own PJO

P.S.S This story is OOC-ish

P.S.S.S This is after TLO

Dinner with the Chases

"And Percy, would you pick your clothes off the floor?!" My mom yelled at me from the living room where she was vacuuming.

I groaned.

My mom was going crazy trying to make everything perfect for our dinner with the Chases. I on the other hand, wasn't as worried. No offense, but a military history professor wasn't very intimidating.

'Relax mom! It's just Annabeths family!" I shouted over the sound of the vacuum.

"Annabeth, your girlfriend's family! Don't you want to make a good impression?" She said, just as loudly.

That got me going. I ran over to my mom.

"What do need me to do?"

***

After about an hour of hard work and cleaning, we heard a knock and my mom rushed to open the door. I walked out of my room just in time to see Annabeth and her family walk through the door. Annabeth spotted me and grinned, I smiled back at her. We must have stared at each other longer then I had thought because Mr. Chase coughed uncomfortably. I broke away from the trance to look at him.

"So, um, Percy. Explode any cars lately?" He said.

"Um, yea, seven, I think."

"and a boat." Annabeth joined in.

"a boat?" Mr. Chase asked, bewildered.

"Cruise ship, actually." I said. Mr. Chase stared.

"Oh, Percy! Can you go put the pasta in the strainer?" My Mom asked.

"Sure!"

I ran into the kitchen. I slowly poured the pot f pasta and boiled water in to the strainer that was placed over the sink. I accidently spilled some hot water on my hand. It didn't hurt, but I pulled my hand back by reflex. The pot hit the nozzle on the sink turning it on and breaking it off. It turned out that Paul didn't fix the backed up drain like said he would. I backed up, getting ready to stop the water myself before it over flood, but I backed up to far and banged my back, specifically my weak spot, against the table. I leaned over, grabbing my back. But my elbow accidentally knocked the un- read mail and news paper on to the stove fire. It started burning slowly, but kept on getting bigger and bigger until it was about two feet tall. I knocked over the pot of marinara over and it fell to the tiled floor with a BANG!

I heard a knock on the door.

"Percy," said my Mom. "Everything all right in there?"

I didn't answerer.

"Percy, were going in there!" Paul said.

Before I could protest, both family's were staring at me wide eyed in the open door way.

"Um, so who wants take-out?" I asked nervously.

***

We were standing outside of my apartment building with a few dozen other random people as the fire people were putting out the fire that had spread all the way across the kitchen. I would've put it out myself, put the fire men burst in and told us to go outside.

"You really did it this time, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth said standing next to me.

"It's not the first time I've done this."

Apparently, Mr. Chase over heard me.

"You mean, you've done this before?"

"Yes" I said sheepishly.

"Honey, take Bobby and Mathew to the car. I need to have a word with Mr. Jackson here."

Before they left, Bobby said, "Even though you almost killed us all, Mathew and I still think you're awesome!"

I looked at Mr. Chase to see he had a serious expression.

"Annabeth, I don't want you associated with these kind of people, let's go."

"But Dad, I..." Annabeth started,

"No! I thought I lost you when you ran away, I'm not taking the chance of losing you again. I'm not letting you see this boy anymore. We are leaving," and before she could say anything else, she was pushed into the back seat of the Chases car. Annabeth rolled down her window and yelled,

"I love you, Percy!"

I was taken aback by this, it was really sudden, but I replied,

"I love you too!"

And that was the truth.

**Next Summer**

Today was the day Annabeth returned from California. I didn't think Mr. Chase would go this far, but he made Annabeth actually transfer from her Boarding school in New York to a school in San Francisco. Annabeth and I had kept in touch secretly. Kind of. My Mom and Dad knew about it. In fact, they supported it. They thought what Mr. Chase did was totally out of line. She would Iris Message me when her parents were gone, we had a few close calls, but in the long run it was a pretty good plan.

So after along half year, I was finally going to see Annabeth today.

I was already at camp, waiting at the bottom of the hill for Annabeth, who should be here any second. I heard a door slam and a muffled augment. After an exasperated groan, Annabeth made her way past Thalia's tree and saw me. Her smile was ear to ear and she shot down the hill and pulled me into a tight hug and I planted a kiss on her forehead. She laid her head on my shoulder as I walked her to her cabin.

So the moral of this story is: don't judge a man by his war figurines.

END! REVIEW! Did you like it? Kind of OOC, but whatever! I watched 13 movies today, including a movie called Dan in Real Life. I've seen that movie three times; still love it, MOVIES RULE!
