Ding, dong!

Annabeth Chase, bounced up and ran out of her bedroom to the door. She opened it as fast as she could, and before she knew it, she was wrapped in a hug, by the squealing Thalia.

"Anna!" Thalia screamed.

"Thal!" Annabeth responded with just as much excitement. "What took you so long? I've been waiting all afternoon!"

Thalia pulled back from Annabeth , but kept her hands on her shoulders as the door shut behind her. "Girl, you are kidding me, right? My flight was late, and there was tons of traffic! But on the bright side - I'm here!"

Annabeth laughed, and then grabbed Thalia by the wrist. "Come on, Thalia! We've got tons of work to do! My parents are going to be coming any day now, and they expect me to have a 'fiance'!"

"Pfft," Thalia said. "That's bullshit! I've found the perfect guy to be your 'fiance!"

Annabeth raised her eyebrows. "Really?"

"Sure," Thalia said. "The moment you called me, and told me about it, I found the perfect guy!"

"Well, someone's on top of it!" Annabeth exclaimed. "Don't be so secretive! Tell me who this guy is!"

"His name is Percy Jackson. And he's my cousin!" Thalia moved to open the door. "And I hope you like him, 'cause ... He kind of came with me." Thalia pulled the door open. And there he stood. Percy Jackson.
