Annabeth's POV
Well, after Aphrodite popped out, there was this huge explosion that involved pink glitter, pink feathers, and pink ribbons. You get the idea. It was a dramatic entrance. I think The Goddess of Love gets that trait from her father, Zeus. Actually, some say that Aphrodite was born from the tide, and is actually the oldest Olympian. We're not really sure. So anyway, Aphrodite said, 'Ok. I think Percabeth is not going very well, so, you are going to New York. It's settled. I spoke with your father. But Percy doesn't know, because this is a surprise. I packed your stuff; it's waiting for you at the front door. Now, go, OR I'll give you a makeover that will last forever.' And, she left in an another explosion of pink stuff.
Okay. What just happened?
Uhh… I think Aphrodite is sending me to New York to see Percy just because she thinks 'Percabeth is not going well'. Usually the Goddess of Love makes hollow threats except when it comes to love. Well, duh! She said makeover forever. That means business. Plus, I'd be lying if I said I wanted to stay in San Francisco and not see Percy. AT least I have an excuse to go and stay in New York….
'Bye Dad! I promise to 'stay safe'! I won't try anything with Percy! I swear on the River Styx!' I yelled as I was leaving. Ugh. My dad just gave me the 'you and Percy getting older and trying stuff' talk. Absolutely, totally, horrifically, disgusting. My stepmom still hates me. I still hate her. I can't wait to see Sally once I get to New York. And Percy, my 'girly side' said. Oh shut up, I told it. I went to the airport, boarded the plane, and left San Francisco for Percy and New York.
