Chapter one
Annabeth's POV
"Percy, why do I want to go anywhere with you?" I grumbled. Percy Jackson had once again proved his talent for driving me insane.
"Because I'm your one of your best friends?",
He shot back. Whatever. Thalia stepped around some suspicious looking goop, and I followed her. Grover was chewing on a tin can, and it was driving me insane. How did I get myself in this mess in the first place? You'll see soon enough
3 days before
Percy, Thalia, Grover, Juniper, Beckendorf, Silena and I were having a luncheon thing celebrating the fourth of July. Percy made us lunch, which may have not been such a good idea. He said it would be a nice lunch, so knowing him, it may not be so great. We got sandwiches with blue bread, which Percy dyed, with red jelly, and white butter. There was peanut butter somewhere, and it danced upon my taste buds. Percy had really outdone himself. Thalia was eyeing her sandwich, as if it would strike back and bite, and finally took a bite, then smiled. Beckendorf and Silena really didn't care. I realized that Grover and Juniper did not have PBJ sandwiches. They had Fourth of July enchiladas, courtesy of Chef Jackson. I looked beside me. Percy was not there. Oh, God. Where had he gone? A second later, he appeared with a covered up basket.
"Who wants dessert?", he screamed out loud. Six hungry hands shot up. I saw a note from his mother that said,
Dear Percy, I baked these BLUE Fourth of July cookies for you, but not for you. You can eat on only one condition. You have to share with your friends and one more thing. Say hi to Annabeth for me and give her an extra cookie.
Love, Mom
I loved Percy's mom. She was so nice, and she treated me like I was here own daughter. Percy opened the basket and I saw heaven. These cookies were amazing. They literally did the samba on my tongue. I was about to reach for another, when Connor Stoll yelled at the top of his lungs,
"Travis is missing!"
