A/N: Yeah, got really bored . . . little shameless fluff, first for Percy Jackson though . . . set anywhere between "The Last Olympian" and "The Lost Hero."

Disclaimer: If I owned it the second book of the "Heroes of Olympus" series would be out already, and we'd have Percy back!

I had already thought of a dozen or so ways to kill him, easy. And he probably knew it, too, judging by the stupid grin on his face. He also knew I would never act on it though, because he was the one responsible for talking our parents into letting us go on this "little" road trip in his step-dad's car.

See, after the whole, defeating Kronos, and saving Olympus, the world, etc. we decided to indulge in a little "down time," and for Percy, that meant an all day road trip, and for me, that meant an all day road trip to see my favorite museum that was now displaying "Architecture through the Ages." My only mistake: letting Percy drive.

On the ocean, the boy's a navigational genius, on the highway not so much. The fact that he kept playing this ridiculous game didn't help at all. Every time he saw one of those little Volkswagens he smack my arm and say "Blue one!" or whatever color happened to correspond with the current car passing by.

Smack "Green one!" Yeah, like that.

"Will you quit that? My arm is going to be permanently bruised because of your immaturity," I finally said, straightening the map I was holding.

"You're just mad because I'm winning," Percy grinned, "You'd be having more fun if you'd take your nose out of that map and look around. Ooh, red one!" Whack. Just added two more options to my "How to Kill Boyfriend" list.

I sighed in frustration, "I can't take my eyes off this thing, without risking ending up in Canada somewhere, and not to mention stuck in the same car with you, Seaweed Brain."

If possible his grin got even bigger. I looked back down at the map to make sure he didn't miss another exit – Whop! "White one!"

"Okay, now you're making these up!"

"You would see them if you'd quit worrying about directions, Wise-girl," he replied, tapping the wrinkled map in my hands, "Seriously, Annabeth, I'll get us there just relax and enjoy a day off from monsters and combat for a while, huh?"

I sighed, again, and growled, "Who could possibly relax? With you getting us lost and smacking my arm every time one of those stupid cars goes by – and what is with this game, huh? I've never heard of anything so irritating in my li – oh, yellow one!" Smack!

"OW! Annabeth!" Percy whined, "Even after swimming in the River Stix that hurt."

"Don't be such baby," I laughed, and through the map in the back seat, "Just drive, will ya?"

"I'll do my best," he said, still giving me that stupid grin and I just had to smile back. Maybe "Punch Bug" wasn't such a stupid game.

Thanks for reading!
