Annabeth POV

I couldn't wait any longer, so after saying my last good bye to Dad, who was practically bawling for some reason, I found Percy's hand and started dragging him along, never to look back.

When we were out of my Dad's sight, I rested my head on Percy's shoulder. I had forgotten how perfectly my chin fit into the crest of his neck. Sighing at the memory, I twisted around and lightly brushed my lips against his.

After a few seconds, I pulled away, but he wasn't done. He hauled me in closer and wrapped his arms around my waist, closing off the space between us. Percy glued his forehead to mine and started humming as he rocked me back and forth to the beat of 1,2,3,4 by The Plain White T's. I crushed my face against his chest and took in his scent. It reminded me of the ocean, of course, but more than that... I can't explain it.

Together we walked and talked, and talked and walked all the way back to his car about pointless things that we already knew. I knew he had gotten a car, but when he opened the door to the red Honda Accord, I was stunned, "Percy, how in Hades did you afford this?" I gaped.

"Well, Mom inherited quite a lot of money when she married Paul, and this was their thank you gift to me, though I have no idea why they got me a car." He shrugged and helped me in. Percy shut the door and jogged around the car to get himself situated.

Once he was settled, he took my hand and started backing out. Then out of nowhere, an iris message appeared. Grover stood there waiting impatiently. "Where are you guys? Everybody's here and I'm lonely!" He shouted at us.

"Calm down, G-man! We're just backing out of the airport right now. Relax; we'll be there in less than 10 minutes." Percy reassured him.

"Okay, but hurry! I'm bored!" He cried and I could swear I heard Juniper in the background saying, "HEY!", but that's just me. Percy waved his hand through the connection quickly, because there was a car honking at us to move. I'm sure they were wondering why Percy was stopped in the middle of the street for no reason.

Percy turned his gaze on me and smiled. Tucking a stray piece of blond hair out of my face he asked, "Ready for camp, Wise Girl?" I grinned and nodded enthusiastically. He moved the gear into forward and started driving towards Half-blood Hill, all the while, holding my hand.

Percy POV

It was great to see Annabeth again. This long-distance relationship wasn't working out for me. It was so hard going even a moth without seeing her, now we have three months to spend together and make it last.

I looked into Annabeth's deep grey set eyes, she had been staring at me for two minutes, not saying a word, "You alright, Annie?"

She shook her head as if clearing away daydreams and replied, "Yeah, just getting used to everything, I guess. I missed you, Seaweed Brain."

I took in her clear, grey eyes and smiled. "I missed you too, Annabeth." I smiled, and she reflected it, giving my hand a squeeze and laying her head on my shoulder. I relaxed; I had forgotten how perfect her head matched my neck. Like two puzzle pieces, fitting into one another.

I was about to ask her what she'd been up to this since I last saw her, but as I glanced down, I saw her eyes closed and her breaths became heavier, so I let her sleep.

A few minutes passed, so I turned onto the street leading up to camp. Apollo had built a three story parking lot covered with mist so powerful that monsters couldn't even see it, just gods and demigods. I slowly turned into the first parking spot I could find and parked the car.

For minutes I sat there blankly, staring at my hands in my lap. I was exhausted, the Styx really do that to you. Eventually, I snapped out of it, and I shook Annabeth lightly on the shoulder, "Annie? Annabeth?" She fluttered her lashes open and turned her attention on me. The look she wore was murderous, like "How dare you wake me up!".

Then she realized it was me and the look became confusion, "Are we here?" She asked groggily while sitting up.

I chuckled, "Yeah, it's only a ten minute drive from the airport."

"Oh... okay." I watched her as she rubbed her eyes, although with the amount of time she was asleep, she didn't form any sleep in them.

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah...yeah, let's go." She said and undid her seat belt. I got out and started to walk around to open her door, but she had already done it.

"Will you let me get the door like a good boyfriend should?" I asked jokingly. Apparently she was still waking up, so she reluctantly closed the door and crossed her arms. "Um... okay... OH!" I jumped to get the door. "I was just kidding, you know." I said.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, right..." She muttered as she climbed out of the car. She was starting to get her senses back.

"Come on, Wise Girl." I wrapped my arm around her waist and I drug her along with me towards the hill.

SOOOO!?!?!? How was it! I know another short chapter! I really am trying to make them longer. In my summary it says Annabeth gets kidnapped, but that's not gonna happen until like chapter four of five. I know! I'm sorry! Anyway... Please review again! Love you guys!
