A/N: This is my first story, and I'm considering it a one-shot for now, but not ruling out continuing it.

Disclaimer: No, I obviously don't own PJO, because if I did...well, would I be writing this? I think not.

Percy Jackson rubbed his eyes as he woke up, and rolled over in his bed to look out the window. He had arrived back in New York a couple days ago, having just returned from Camp Half-Blood. His summer had certainly been interesting, he'd bathed in the River Styx, thus becoming invulnerable in his quest to defeat Kronos, battled monsters on the streets of Manhattan, and defeated aforementioned Titan Lord Kronos. Oh, and he was going out with Annabeth now. He smiled at that thought, as he'd relived the moment when she'd kissed him at Camp hundreds of times by now. Then getting tossed into the lake, and as he thought, pretty much the best underwater kiss ever. Still smiling, he climbed out of bed, and headed to the bathroom for a shower.

Showered and dressed, Percy entered the kitchen to find his mother and Paul sitting on the couch, talking. They noticed him enter, and stopped talking at once. He gave them a curious glance.

"What?" he asked, totally oblivious to the grin still plastered on his face.

"Oh, nothing, dear, you just seem happy today." His mother replied, smiling at him.

Still not getting her point, he shrugged, and walked over to find something to eat. As he was searching, a clear, shining veil popped in front of his face. An Iris message! A smile lit his face again as he saw Annabeth in front of him, looking tired, but smiling.

"Hey, Seaweed Brain," she greeted.

"Hey," he said, trying to control the blush on his cheeks, "what's up?"

"As I'm sure you can tell, it's about 6:30 here in San Fransisco, but I just wanted to let you know I'm coming to New York to get started on this whole renovating Olympus thing," she said, her face still shining despite the early hour. Or maybe that's because she looks pretty all the time, Percy thought to himself.

"I'll be there later today, actually, and I have a couple hours to spare before I get started, so…" she trailed off.

His face lit up all over again. "You want to meet up somewhere? Name the place," he said.

Brushing a lock of hair from her face, she smiled. "I was thinking I'd meet you at your place at say…2:00?"

"Alright, we'll figure things out from there…so, um…see you later, Wise Girl."

"Sounds good, Seaweed Brain." She paused, then added quickly, "I missed you, you know. Even if it's only been a couple days."

Percy blushed furiously again. That was so…un-Annabeth like. "I missed you too."

"Well…I'll see you later,"

"Bye, Wise Girl," he added quickly, just as her hand sliced through the message, ending it.

Percy turned around to see his mother and Paul grinning at him, and thus blushed all over again.

"So, you and Annabeth?" she said. "It took you long enough!" she said, with a laugh.

Percy sighed. "Oh, erm…yeah."

"You two are pretty cute together," Paul added with a smile.

Percy murmured something about badly-timed Iris messages and sat down at the counter, pondering what he could do with Annabeth later on.

I know, it's short and all, but I needed to get something up. ;) Reviews appreciated!
