I do NOT own any Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series or any character listed (apart from hopefully some OC'S? and i didn't know what Rachel's dad name was only that it started with a W and warren dare seemed pretty funny to me at the time...) If i did i would have an iPod by now:(

Prologue-

20 minutes left

That was all the time Annabeth had left to shut down the ticking time bomb and save Warren Dare and all her friends downstairs in the ballroom.

Just a typical Friday evening.

Annabeth wiped the sweat off her brow, as she cautiously began deactivating the bomb, she had battled off Luke's little minions and weaved through green lasers sensors that when touched set off an alarm alerting her enemies of her location.

And all in a ball gown

Annabeth had just figured out the circuit of the bomb- Luke had probably not bothered to make the bomb that hard to shut off, not thinking she would be able to get pass his obstacles. He had got to stop underestimating her.

15 minutes left

Annabeth had started to punch in the combination number of the bomb when she heard a familiar low chuckle by the door

"Well, well look who we have here."
