RICK RIORDAN OWNS PJATO

*drum roll* HERE IT IS! Thanks to all my reviewers, who got me to 300 reviews on my other story "Life Forever After" & the ones who encouraged me to post this!

PLEASE REVIEWWWW! :)

Annabeth POV:

I sprinted across the finish line holding a blue flag that belonged to Percy's team, with Percy running right behind me. My teammates erupted into cheers, as I waved the flag around, showing everyone that the red team has just won the first capture the flag game of the winter.

"You lose!" I shouted towards Percy, as I walked past the crowd, headed towards the strawberry fields.

Percy followed me to the strawberry fields. "You cheated!" He complained.

"Just because I'm capable of tricking you into giving me the flag, doesn't mean I cheated." I laughed. "It's called strategy." I mocked. "You should try it sometime."

"One of the days I'm going to kick your butt at capture the flag." Percy muttered, as he hugged me, and kissed my forehead.

"Race you to the dining pavilion." Percy smiled. "I bet there's still some desert left over."

"You're on." I said, narrowing my eyes as I took off running.

It took Percy a few seconds to realize I was running before he caught up to me.

"I WIN!" Percy hollered, as he reached the dining pavilion.

"I let you win!" I panted.

"That's why you're out of breath, right?" Percy asked, jokingly.

"Ha-ha, very funny." I said, slapping his arm, but my hand just rebounded off his skin, and I might as well have hit myself.

"Gods, I need to remember that you're invincible." I said, shaking my hand, and Percy just snorted.

We found a couple of brownies that had been left over. We talked until we heard the conch shell sound that it was time for curfew.

Percy helped me up. "Thanks, seaweed brain." I smiled, as I stood on my tippy toes to hug him.

He held me tight and kissed me. "I love you." He smiled

I looked into his sea green eyes. "I love you too." I whispered in his ear, giving him another kiss.

He smiled a goofy grin, and took my hand and walked me to my cabin.

"Goodnight, wise girl! Love You!" He called out, waving to me as I entered my cabin.

"Love you too, seaweed brain!" I called back.

Everyone else in my cabin was either in the bathroom or already asleep by the time I got there. I walked over to my bunk, and my closest sister, Avery, was looking at me suspiciously. Avery was fifteen, two years younger than me.

"What did he say to you?" She asked, her straight blonde hair pulled back in a low pony tail, and her grey eyes analyzing me.

"What're you talking about?" I asked, trying not to make anything obvious.

"You're wearing a really stupid grin on your face, your pony tail is messed up, and you look redder than a tomato." She said, crossing her arms.

"Shut up." I chuckled.

"What did he say to you!" Avery pressed on.

"Nothing!" I laughed. "We just ate some brownies and talked!" I said, feeling my face get red.

"Mom's not going to be happy." She snorted.

"I could honestly care less about what mom thinks right now." I told her, climbing into my bed.

"You are probably the most unorthodox child of Athena." Avery muttered.

"Probably." I agreed.

-linebreak-

I woke up the next morning, showered, got dressed, and headed over to the Poseidon cabin to walk to breakfast with Percy.

I knocked on his door, and he didn't answer. So, I took it upon myself to go ahead and go inside.

"He's probably still asleep" I thought to myself.

I entered his cabin. He wasn't in his bed, not in the bathroom. His bed wasn't made either, so I just figured he was already at breakfast.

I walked to the dining pavilion, my eyes scanning everywhere for Percy. I sat down at my table, and noticed there wasn't anyone at the Poseidon table.

"Hey, Nico!" I said, as I scraped some offerings into fire, with Nico standing next to me. "Have you seen Percy this morning?" I asked him.

"I was about to ask you the same thing." He said.

"Oh." I said softly, as Nico walked away to his table.

After asking almost everyone I ran into if they'd seen him, I left the pavilion. I checked the beach, the canoe lake, the arena, strawberry fields, and his cabin again.

Then, it hit me.

He was gone.

I realize that it's pretty predictable, but please review anyway!
