CHAPTER 1

Annabeth's POV

"Scared Annie?" asked Percy. We had been sparring for 3 hours and he had almost, alright I admit, he beat me 1 time. BUT JUST ONCE! THAT'S IT!

"Oh, please I could beat you if I wanted too, but I'm getting kind of tired." I replied. Gods help me with this boy. He's so sweet, caring, charming, handsome, funny, handsome... Snap out of it Annabeth! He probably only likes you as a friend anyways! I sighed. He's all lthose things but he can't remember my birthday.

"You alright?" See what I mean. "Yeah, just tired. That's all." "Ok." He replied. "Want some water?" He asked me kindly. "Oh Gods ye.." "Well you said our name and here we are!" Someone screamed behind us.(We had moved to the bench by this time.)

I jumped and drew my sword, as did Percy on my right getting into a defensive position, but stopped and dropped our swords when I saw who it was.

"L-Lord Zeus, M-Mother, L-Lady.. " I stuttered and bowed rather quickly, Percy did the same.

"Rise daughter. You as well, Perseus." My mother said kindly and saying 'Perseus' as if it were a disease she didn't want to catch. I stared. I mean come on, who wouldn't when you have the ENTIRE OLYMPIAN COUNCIL IN ONE PLACE AND IT DIDN'T BLOW UP.

"What are you doing here?" asked Percy. "Well actually, my boy, Chiron told us to come. He said it was about tonight." said Lord Poseidon."Tonight?" I asked. "Yepp-de-doo thats what he said." said Apollo.

"But why would he tell you to.." faltered Percy."'Oh, great." We said simultaneously. "What's wrong?" asked Lady Demeter. "Well, you see, the thing is, Camp-Half Blood Karaoke is tonight."

"SWEET!" said Apollo and Hermes. "Oh, yeah! We get to show off our moves!" Said Apollo and started doing the Micheal Jackson Moonwalk while Hermes was beat-boxing into his hand.

The Olympians laughed good-heartedly along with us. "Well,come on then. It's lunch time and you're probably.." I stopped as someone yelled "DAD!" and ran up to Hephaetseus and gave him a hug."How's my girl?!" He said. "I'm great. Hey, guess what I made today in the workshop?" said 9-year old Amarillae with a smile on her face. I'm surprised she knew who her Dad was, considering he only saw her once and it was when she was 3. Hephaeteus rumbled laughter and said" What did you make?" she smiled and did the thing that kids do when they zip their mouth shut and won't say anymore. "It's a suprise but, I can tell you that Percy helped me make it."

I looked at Percy strangely, out of the corner of my eye I saw the Olympians do the same. "What?" exclaimed Percy then grumbled sheepishly with a cute little blush on his cheeks stopping at his dark, pink, full, lips. .. STOP IT ANNABETH!" "She was giving me the face." We laughed. "Come on Rilla. Time to go watch me humiliate myself." "Like always." We said simultaneously, then laughed along with the others. "Come on Ama," I said. "you can ride on my shoulders." "Yes." Wha?" said Amarillae and Percy, Percy standing with his mouth hanging open. We walked down to the ampi-theater, passing Travis, Conner, and Katie scolding them. Just the usual. We let Amarillae run to her cabin and Chiron took the gods away to the back of the stage so they could watch from there. "Bye Mom." I said "Goodbye sweetie." Seriously, even my mom forgot it was my birthday. Could this day get any worse.

Percy POV

I watched as Annabeth walked in front of me, her blonde hair glinting in the moonlight, her shoulders curving own to her, SNAP OUT OF IT PERSEUS! She only likes me as a friend anyways. We went over and sat next to Beckendorf, Nico, Jason, Leo, Silena, Thalia, Piper, and Reyna(AN: The Romans are here. the never happened, beckendorf and silena aren't dead, and Chris and Clarisse are dating. Thought you might want to know.)"Hey guys." We said. A series of grunts, "Hey's", and "Sup's" were echoed back "OMG! This is going to be so much fun! Percy aren't you and the guys singing tonight?" asked Silena." We looked at each other simultaneously and said "Damn." "What's wrong?" asked Annabeth, her usually beautiful grey eyes now full of confusion and saddness, surprisingly. Probably because she's so sad that she doesn't know I'm singing for her. I hope her mom doesn't kill me. Oh gods. Athena.
