This is an audio recording of the real first time Percy and Annabeth met. Back when they were seven. This recording is meant for their future selves.
Scarlett, Brielle, and Mabel were best friends- (Muffling noises in the background.) Sorry, ARE best friends.
They were doing whatever girls do for fun and- (More muffling and the sound of a slap.) Fine, fine! I'll tell it your way. Anyway, Mabel suggested that they go see a movie. "I heard they have this cool new movie out. It's about this psychopath who comes after these kids and kill them in freaky ways. We should check it out."
Mabel looked around, Brielle was doodling mindlessly, Scarlett was hanging upside down off the side of the bed and she was playing with Scarlett's hair. "I don't have a problem with it. Brielle?"
She looked up from her papers, "Okay. I can have my mom give us a ride." The plan was simple, they get the ride from Brielle's mom and all they had to do was wait in line for the tickets.
Unfortunately for them, Scarlett hadn't known that the movie came out on that day. Lets just say the line was freakin long. Mabel groaned. This is going to take forever and we probably won't get a ticket, Brielle thought. "Well this sucks." Scarlett proclaimed. "Yeah." Brielle breathed. After a few moments of waiting, Mabel shouted, "Look!"
Scarlett turned to the direction Mabel was pointing at. There was three kids fighting a giant creature! "Woah! What is that?" Brielle asked. (Sounds of laughing and a rude comment.) Hahahaha! Yeah it probably was more like screamed.
Anyway, Mabel gazed over at the kids. One was very small, couldn't have been more then seven but she was holding up very well in the fight. The other two, a boy and a girl, looked ether twelve or thirteen. The girl wore dark cloths and was fending off the giant with a shield. The boy was tall and skinny, he was throwing these fiery balls at the beast.
Scarlett recognized them just as quickly as Mabel. "That's Luke, Thalia and Annabeth when they where younger." "And a family." Mabel voiced. They watch the fight go on for a bit, the clashing of swords, the grunts in pain and the acts of bravery.
"What is this?" Brielle asked. "Looks like a flash mob or something." Scarlett spoke. "I don't remember this happening in the books." Mabel shared. "Nether do I." Brielle started to pull out her phone. "What are you doing?" Scarlett demanded. "I hate not knowing things." Brielle explained.
She typed in on her phone, Was there a fight with a monster at a movie theater with Thalia, Luke and Annabeth? "No results found." Scarlett read. "Yeah, I know. I can read!" Brielle said. "Try typing in the Percy Jackson series." Mabel suggested. Brielle did so and again, no results. "No results for Percy Jackson?" Scarlett grabbed the phone. "That's really weird. I can always find his web page." She said after trying again. Mabel started to shake a bit, "Okay! This is freaking me out!"
Brielle sighed, she knew Mabel would spazz out about this if they didn't find an answer soon. (Muffled scolding in the background.) Yes. Spazz out. (More lecturing.) I don't care if it isn't proper grammar! I don't care about it now and I won't care about anytime in the future, Annabeth! (The sound of a smack and a girly shriek.) Ow! Gods, your annoying.
ANYWAY! Brielle pointed at the bookstore on the corner, "Look we can go see if we can the scene in one of the books from the book store." "What about the movie?" Brielle rolled her eyes, "Like we were even going to get a ticket. Come on." Mabel and Scarlett shrugged and followed her.
The store door opened with a Bing! A gray haired woman *Cough* OLD *Cough* at the desk reading a really old looking book. When she saw them she set down the book, "Why hello children." Her smile was really creepy and strained. But Mabel seemed oblivious to this and walked right up to her desk.
"Hello! I was wondering if you had The Percy Jackson series?" Mabel said sweetly. Over doing it much, are we?, Scarlett thought. The woman's eye twitched and she licked her smiling lips, "Pursues Jackson? Where is he?" She demanded in a slithery voice. Mabel backed up a step. "Um, no. You must be talking about a person. I'm talking about a book series." She said, voice quivering a bit.
The woman nails grew into sharp talons. Her upper body became younger and more beautiful and the bottom half became more snake-like. Her talons reached out and snatched Mabel by the shirt. She yanked her forward, and Mabel was struggled against her. Her nasty breath radiated off of her as she spoke, " Where is he? Where is Pursues Jackson?"
"I don't know! Let me go! Help!" Mabel screamed. Brielle began throwing books at the she- beast. Scarlett looked around for something helpful. There. This might work, Scarlett thought. She picked up a purple umbrella and charged towards the monster.
Like that's really going to work! She better be dang happy that I cam- (Shouting and smacking noises.) OW! I'm not going to give any thing away! Gods! I was simply pointing out-(Muffled insults) I don't care if no one cares! I'm just wanna set the story straight! (More muffled insults and one clear 'Shut up'.) Fine. I'll 'Shut up'. So where was I? Oh yes. Scarlett was charging.
She began to bang the beast upside the head. The monster chuckled and threw Mabel across the room. "AHH!" She cried when she hit a wall. Scarlett took a deep a breath, closed her eyes and stabbed the monster in the chest. It got quite. Slowly Scarlett opened her eyes, the beast was turning to dust. But it wasn't Scarlett who slayed her.
It was a raven haired little boy with startling sea-green eyes, holding a ball-point pen.
