Chapter 2

Percy's P.O.V.

"Perce, wake up…" An electronic version of my fiancée, Annabeth, blared thro the speakers of my alarm clock. "Perce, wake up…"

I groaned, sitting up. Who had set that? It was SATURDAY, for crying out loud!

"Percy?" Annabeth's real voice came from right beside me.

"Yeah babe?"

"Why is your clock alarming at 6 am on Saturday?"

"Honesty, I have no idea…" I blushed, rolling out of the bed. "But since I'm up I'll go make us some breakfast…"

"Chocolate-chip blue pancakes?" Annabeth asked grinning.

"Of course," I gave her a quick kiss on the forehead before heading downstairs. On my way down, I passed my pants hanging outside my room door. I immediately grabbed my ringing phone from the back pocket. 'Ichigo' the caller ID said, with a chibi picture I'd found of the anime character on the internet.

"Hello?" I asked, talking into the base of the phone.

"Hey man," Ichigo's voice blasted into my head, "It's me. Listen, a few friends and I are heading to your apartment-"

"At 6 in the morning?!" I protested.

"Hey you're up,"

"Yeah but I'm not decent!" I yelled hurrying down the stairs.

"Well, please get decent quickly," a girl's voice floated through the speaker, making me stop suddenly and nearly trip the living room rug.

"Shut up, Mai!"Ichigo protested, "He doesn't know he's on speaker phone!"

"Well I do now…" I muttered grudgingly. There was laughter in the background. "Well, Kurosaki, how many are in your party?"I asked like a lazy British hotel assistant.

"Well let's see…" He began counting aloud haltingly at he pointed on people. "Twelve, including me,"

"Well that settles that," I muttered half to myself.

"Settles what?" a man's voice asked.

"I was planning on cooking for you guys, if it were two or three of you." I headed back up-stairs to wake up Annabeth. "But I ain't feeding twelve hulking brutes."

"Plus Xao Mai," the girl's voice said.

"Thirteen?!" I exclaimed

"No, Xao Mai is a giant panda," the girl explained.

"And yet she's the size of a teacup poodle…" another male voice muttered.

"Well then…" I muttered, "I gotta get ready. Ring the doorbell when you get here and we'll come downstairs and lead you guys to the nearest iHop."

"We?" another girl's voice asked.

"Yeah, my fiancée and I," I clarified.

"K," Ichigo said, "be there in a few."

"Later. Oh and you're paying." I added. The line went dead.

After dragging Annabeth out of bed and into the shower, I had a shower a sonic speed, letting her take the hot water since I could tolerate all temperatures. I'd just dragged on my pants when the doorbell rang.

I resisted the urge to run downstairs and answer it, shirtless or not. You see, Annabeth had decided that unless it was a life or death situation, neither of us was allowed to open the door half-clothed. This rule came about when one of my over-zealous students (I teach Marine Bio at New York College), Tracey, tried to attack me because I'd opened the door shirtless. Long story short, Tracey went home that day with a black eye, courtesy of Annabeth.

The bell rang again, twice, a third. What the hell? I tugged on my blue t-shirt and slid down the stairs on the banister, the way my mom and Annabeth always told me not to.

"Hello?" I asked, yanking the door open.

"Hi Percy!" Tracey smiled up at me.

"Bye." I slammed the door in her face.

"No wait!" she yelled through the door.

"What?"

"You have visitors."

"Describe them," I said icily.

"Dude cool," Ichigo's voice floated through the door, "It's me and the guys. Tracey was just our guide." Cautiously, I opened the door. Tracey was still standing there; grinning at me, but beside her was a very amused looking Ichigo.

"Let's hurry up and get to this iHop place," a tall boy shocking red hair whined. "I'm hungry!" His friends, a short white-haired boy, a tall black-haired boy and a black-haired girl, all hit him over the head.

Those four looked strangely familiar.

"Hey Percy," the white haired boy- Allen (I think)- said

"Hey," I said. "As soon as we get rid of Tracey and I get Annabeth, we good to go."

"Alright!" the red haired one- Lavi (if I remember correctly) said, fist-pumping the air.

"But I thought you were bringing your fiancée…" Ichigo asked.

"Annabeth is my fiancée," I replied.

Ichigo raised an eyebrow, and smirked. "Congrats."

I rolled my eyes, and headed upstairs to get Annabeth.
