The Call

As Percy was walking to his cabin from the beach, his emergency phone started to ring. He was confused because the only people that ever call this number are Annabeth and his mom. He chose to pick it up anyway. What harm could come? He was in camp.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Percy Jackson?"

"Yes it is. Who is this?"

"My name is Sarah from the Sprint phone company. We want to reward your loyal services with a dozen free roses!"

Percy was about to decline, "Let me remind you that this offer is 100% free. No charge on your credit card. No phone bill. Just roses. You can send them to a girlfriend or a loved one if you like."

Percy though of Nico and how his date with Kelly went so well. They really hit it off. They went to dinner at a fancy restaurant and then went to go see a movie. The movie in Nico's point of view was crap. But I think he enjoyed going out. He said he took her to see Breaking Dawn or something that broke. "Um…"Percy thought of how to word this. " Alright. Yeah. I want some flowers to be delivered to ***********" (AN: Sorry. I just don't know any usable addresses in New York.)

"Who would you like us to put on the note that goes with them Percy?"

"Who you're sending them to?"

"Yes."

"Put Kelly Gaverson down and say, 'I had a wonderful time last night. Let's do it again sometime.' "

"Wow-" a man's voice cut in but Percy interrupted him.

"And can you not sign my name?"

Sarah tried to talk, "Percy-" Again Percy cut her off too.

"No, can you sign it Nico?"

"…Nico?" Sarah asked, confused.

"Yeah. He's a friend of mine and he really needs to get out more so he went on a date last night."

"Oh. Um… Percy?"

"Yeah."

You could hear her sigh on the other line, "My name is Katie and I'm sitting here with Jason and Gavin from the wake up call. You are on War of the roses live."

"Wait… there's no flowers"

"No. Annabeth was getting a little worried about you so she called us."

"Annabeth?"

"Yeah. Annabeth called us to ask us if we can find out if you are cheating or not."

"Wow. Why?"

"Ask her. Annabeth, you can speak now."

"Hi…Percy." Annabeth said awkwardly.

"Annabeth, what were you worried about? I'm not cheating."

"I thought you were."

"But, I love you. I would never cheat. Is this who you said you were going to call when you left the aren… house?"

You hear her sniffle. "Yeah. I was worried. I thought you didn't care anymore."

"Of course I care."

Trying to change the subject, "Is nico really going out with Kelly Gaverson?"

"Yeah."

Jason cut in, "Well, I can remember when someone signed someone else's name to the not. Can you, Gavin?"

"No, Jason, I can honestly say that I cannot."

"Well, I thought I should help him a bit." Percy replied.

"This was very…informational. I'll see you at…home. Love you, bye!" Annabeth said.

The phone clicked signaling the line cutting off. "I should probably go too. Bye guys!"

"Bye!" They all chorused. Percy hung up and smiled to himself. He walked to the Athena cabin and knocked on the door.

Malcolm answered, "She's in her room."

Percy made his way to the second floor to the door at the end of the room. He knocked and walked in without a response.

Annabeth was sitting on her bed with her laptop n her lap and the phone on her bedside table. She had her blonde hair up in a messy ponytail. She was wearing her favorite grey owl pajamas and the ring on her finger was shimmering with light as she typed on her laptop. He thought she looked gorgeous. She looked up at him and he saw that her eye were red from crying.

"Percy." She acknowledged him and went back to her typing.

"Annabeth," Percy said before sitting down next to her on the bed and wrapping one arm around her in an embrace. She sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder. She looked up at him and kissed him sweetly. "I'm not cheating." Was all that Percy decided to say.

"I know."

"Ok, then."

"Is Nico really dating now?"

"Yeah I set him up."

"What are you? An Aphrodite guy?"

"No." Percy pouted.

She laughed and kissed him. "I still remember when we first met him. I will never look at him any other way than a little boy playing with his mythomagic cards and crying because he couldn't beat someone at it."

"Let me guess…you."

"How did you know?" She asked sarcastically.

"Just a guess." He kissed her forehead and stood up. "I have to go to sleep."

"See you tomorrow."

"See ya." He left the cabin to go back to his own. He changed into a pair of pajama pants and he took off his shirt and threw it somewhere in the room. He fell onto his bed and he immediately fell into a dreamless sleep.
