Chapter one: Starbucks.

Location:

Hong Long, Kowloon Tong, Festival Walk.

The blond haired woman smiled, looking down at her design in her sketchbook. She had been working on it every since last Spring! Soon, the Olympus environmentally friendly shopping mall will be open, soon! Her t-shirt was a white one, and she wore simple black pants, and a sea green necklace from a friend. She had her hair high in a ponytail, and every man in the shop was staring at her, thinking she was gentle and beautiful. The sweet aroma of coffee filled her nose, washing her worries away. She couldn't remember her friend, since he had to move all the way to California. Anyways, moving on! She was going to make sure the design was good enough, and she remembered! She was going to make sure... Wait, never mind. Wait, she and Thalia were going to have a bachelorette party, because Thalia was going to get married! She was going to be the bridesmaid, and she was so glad about this! Piper McLean, head of the Aphrodite wedding company, made a dress for Thalia, which was lightning bolts on the side. Thalia's little brother, Jason Grace, who was a famous movie star, married Piper, and had 2 children, Lyra and Aelius. Jason was currently on break, so he was spending time with his wife.

"Iced coffee with milk, please." Annabeth said, and the cashier woman smiled. She said:

"That would be $27.00 dollars, please." She said. Annabeth gladly gave the 27 dollars to the woman. She walked over to the waiting area, then seeing her coffee arrive.

"Thank you." Annabeth said, smiling. The man behind the counter wilted behind her smile, giving a nervous smile and walking away. Annabeth couldn't help but laugh, and she walked over to her table. She sat down, going back to work. That was when she felt someone tap her shoulder.

"Hey, that's my coffee you've taken." The man said. He wore jeans and had jet black hair. His white t-shirt made him look cute, and he had sea green eyes. Those green eyes caught her at once, captivating her in their very misty depths. Annabeth looked at the boy, then said:

"Excuse me, but this coffee doesn't have your name on it." She said sharply. The man sighed, saying:

"But I also ordered a-" He began, but then a woman at the cashier said:

"Mr. Jackson, your coffee." She said. Annabeth rose an eyebrow. He sounded so familiar. The Jackson man looked embarrassed, but said:

"Thank you." He said, walking to the counter and getting his coffee. Annabeth smiled. The Jackson man walked over, looked at Annabeth. "Sorry about that. My name is Percy Jackson, marine biologist, and head of Jackson's marine wildlife savers." He said. Annabeth looked at him. He even LOOKED familiar. Those sea green eyes, the jet black hair... "Um, hello?" Percy asked, waving his hand in front of Annabeth's face. Annabeth shook her head.

"Oh, um, sorry Mr. Jackson. You look familiar to someone I knew in kindergarden." She said. "I'm Ms. Chase, or Annabeth Chase." She said. Percy smiled. She looked so familiar to that girl he met in kindergarden. Blonde hair, gray eyes, captivating smile, she just looked way to similar to him. "Do you think we should leave now? We're getting an episode started..." She said, looking at the people in the Starbucks shop. Many girls were staring enviously at Annabeth, and many boys were glaring strongly at Percy. Percy nodded in agreement.

"I think we should." He said. Annabeth got out of her seat, putting her things into her bag. She walked outside, Percy walking next to her. They walked near an ice skating rink, and they took an escalator downstairs, to a level where there were benches. Annabeth sat down, feeling mentally tired after a long days work. She looked at Percy, thinking deeply about that childhood friend. Her judgmental behavior was beginning to show now.

"So you're Percy Jackson, right?" She asked. Her cautious behavior was showing, and she didn't mind, she just was naturally like this.

"Yes, I am." Percy said. Then his mobile rang. He said: "Excuse me." He said, answering his phone. "Yes. Oh, okay. See you then, Nico." He said. "Sorry, but I'll have to leave. I have business to do. But can I have your mobile?" He asked. Annabeth said:

"Sure, but you give me your mobile." She said. "My mobile is 98764320." She said, saying each number slowly when Percy clicked each button.

"Mine is... Great, I forgot it." Percy said, his absentminded self coming in. "I'll call you." He said.

"Seaweed brain." Annabeth said. Percy rose an eyebrow, but he didn't mind. Annabeth's phone rang, and she saw Percy's number: 97453298. She saved it, and said:

"Well, see you, Seaweed brain." She said, smiling and walking off proudly. She walked towards Page one, and she couldn't help but feel so suspicious...

Percy looked surprised, but he didn't mind. As he went back up on the escalator and paid the fee for parking, he couldn't help but feel something was going to happen in between them once again...
