Happy MLKJ day! I dedicate this book to Martin Luther King Jr. and the amazing things that Martin Luther King Jr. did, so here's to you Dr.King! enjoy.

FYI I don't own the rights to any of the amazing works of Rick Riordan, although great birthday gift idea.

It has been three years since Percy and Annabeth and camp half-blood had defeated the giants. Three years without world-endingly dangerous monster occurrences, well with the giants in the slammer and Gaea dead is that really that much of a surprise? What might be more of a surprise is that Percy and Annabeth never ended up together, both going their separate ways. Percy staying in Manhattan with his mom and stepfather and Annabeth going to the college in Camp Jupiter (took me like five minutes to remember the name). Why they didn't hook up we may never know, just kidding of course your gonna know why else would I write this. Anyway...

Three years AG (After Gaea)

-Percy-

I look at the clock, finally my shift is over I walk from my spot behind the counter and through a door saying employees only. I grab my stuff and check out, officially ending my work day I change into my street clothes, shoving my work clothes in my backpack. I walk out the back of the building a begin the short walk to my apartment. It's a chilly spring evening the saplings lining the street's buds beginning to grow out into leaves a small sign of how the spring brings new life to what was cold and dead. I now working low paying jobs and barely making enough to pay for my apartment I don't see how this comes close to applying to me but for some reason i think that my life was finally about to change for the better...

-Annabeth-

Tick tock tick tock I hear the clock on the far wall of the classroom I try to continue to focus on the test but I keep getting distracted by something or other. "Jeez Annabeth just focus on the flippin' test" I whisper trying to get my head in the game but can't help but feel like the clock on the wall is ticking down to my annihilation. That doesn't even make sense Anna just focus on the assignment, I look up at the clock anyway seeing that we only had fifteen more minutes to finish the test and I'm only on question 58 out of 110. "Ohh shit" I murmur and begin to answer the questions with a feverish passion (I didn't know I had words that big in my vocabulary). I just manage to finish the test as the class begins to get up turn in their tests and leave the classroom, I stand and join them i'm pretty sure i flunked out of this damn college. I turn in the test and quickly walk out of the classroom a tear rolls down my cheek as I return to my dorm room.

I wake up the next day to find a letter from my professor my roommate must have grabbed a set there for me to find. Yep I've flunked out, tears begin falling down my cheeks and into my lap well it's not like I was ever gonna pass the class anyway with my terrible grades and late work plus the professor being so biased against Greeks. Now the question is where do I go, I cant go to dad's because he will be upset that I failed out of school plus my step-mom hates my guts. I get up a proceed to change out of my PJ's and get dressed. "Well I know one person that I could go to" I say to myself, "but it'll be really embarrassing when he sees what I've done to myself" I say shoving my finger into mt gut, my finger going half of it's total length. (WHY WAFFLE WHY! jeez why do I always make Annabeth fat WHY!, well technically shes only been chubby in two stories, jeez, well I guess I always pictured her a little chubby she is kinda a nerd/bookworm like Hermione Granger I dunno continue reading sorry for the interruption) What will he think when I show up at his place a fat ass, any feelings he ever had for me will be erased but I don't have anywhere else to go hopefully he'll take in an old friend even after I left him like I did, even after I hurt him.

I walk out of the Principal's office my fears now confirmed, I've been flunked out of the college. Well least I can give a friend a surprise visit. Tears roll down my cheek for the second time today, I try to stay positive, at least the plane ride will give me plenty of time to think of how to apologise. I walk back to my dorm and pack up my things. Tomorrow I will say goodbye to my roommate , leave for the airport and catch a plane to New York City...

I think this will be quite fun to write hopefully it was as much fun to read as to write. Well... cya next chapter and May the force be with you in 2018.
