Hey guys! IM BACK! Technically this is my first Fanfic. I had an account before where I had a couple of stories in-progress then it got deleted. BUT I'M BACK BABY!

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO/HoO. For now...

A/N: I know the time line is kind of messed up but this is Fanfiction and I can do whatever I want. Takes place after Titan war, but before HoO. Kind of those 2 months or so before Percy disappears. Enjoy!

"Wake up Seaweed Brain," comes a voice that I have come to know too well. I blink my eyes open to find Annabeth sitting at the foot of my bed. Her hair is in a pony tail and she is wearing a blue t-shirt instead of her usual Camp Half Blood one.

I frown. "What's with the shirt, Anna?" I ask, using the nickname than only I use. She looks at me incredulous.

"Today is a specific someone's birthday..." She answers.

"Oh, my bad. Happy birthday." I tell her, even though I thought her birthday wasn't until a couple of months from now. She has that look on her face when she does a mental facepalm.

"No, idiot. It's someone else's birthday...Someone who likes blue very much..." She continues.

"Oh, tell Grover Happy Birthday for me then."

She looks towards the sky. "Oh gods, Percy. You really have seaweed for brains, don't you? Mother, I know you don't really like him but at least you could have blessed him with a little intelligence." She turns towards me and holds up a calender. "AUGUST 18TH PERCY. TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY SEAWEED BRAIN." I pick up the calender and look it over.

"Hmm, so it is..." Annabel rolls her eyes. She walks towards me and produces a blue cupcake cut in half, as traditional. I accept half and she takes the other. Then she sings 'Happy Birthday' in a pretty good imitation of Chiron as I laugh. I pull her towards me and start to kiss her when Grover burst in.

"Hey Percy! Happy Birthda- OH GODS. I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE ELSE WAS IN HERE," He screams as he shields his eyes and turns away. Annabel laughs.

"Wow Grover, way to kill the mood. It's okay, we weren't doing anything." I say.

"Phew! Anyway I came here to bring you your birthday present and to tell you that you add sent a message. But that's not important. Open my present first."

"Wait, what about my dad?" "Don't worry, I tell you about that later. But first open my present." he says and hands a box wrapped in leaves. How creative. I open it and inside is a set of like the one he wears across his neck. "Wow, Grover. I don't know what to say..." No seriously, I didn't. He grinned at me from ear to ear.

"I knew you'd love it!"

"So... about my dad..?"

"Are you going to eat that?" He asks, pointing to the box. I shake my head and hand him the box. "Anyway your dad said that he wants you to come to his place and he says that you can bring a friend." I turn to Annabeth.

"You wanna go?" I ask her. Before she can answer, Grover interrupts.

"I'd love to go but Juniper is making me plant some trees with h-"

"GROVER!" comes a female voice from the woods.

"Well there she is. Better go before she gets mad!" He says and sprints out the door. I turn to Annabeth.

"That question was actually directed towards you. So...what do you say? Want to come with me?"

"There is no way..." She starts. I get disappointed. "That I'm missing out on the chance to see Poseidon's realm, and if you think so then you're dead wrong." She finishes.

"Ok! Lets see we if we can go get Chiron's permission."
