Anyways I really hope your enjoy and please take the time to review! It helps me write better chapters for you guys!

PLEASE REVIEW!
December 22
Percy's POV
I woke up on the floor, my face mashed between an itchy blanket and my desk chair. I couldn't remember my dream exactly, but I'm almost certain it involved a tap dancing Grover, and a forest nymph becoming Mrs. O'Leary's new favorite toy…..
Anyways, after I peeled myself off of the floor, I brushed my teeth so I wouldn't scare Annabeth away with monster breath when I woke her up with a kiss. I crept silently down the stairs and walked into the living room only to find a deserted couch, the blanket folded neatly and placed next to a piece of old stationary we keep lying around. I walked over and picked up the note.
Percy,
My flight to go see my dad for Christmas got moved up because of that huge storm coming in. Sorry we didn't get to spend the day together like we planned. I'll Iris message you when I get to my dad's place. Merry Christmas.
Love Annabeth
Disappointed, I went to put the note back only to notice a package that had been underneath it. It read, "To Percy, Love Annabeth. Mercy Christmas."
I placed my present under the tree and went to go gather Annabeth's gift. I looked down at the delicate golden bracelet resting peacefully on sparkly red tissue paper. I closed the lid of the jewelry box in dismay. I would never get to see her reaction to such a special gift. I made a mental note to send the bracelet in the mail later and went downstairs to get some breakfast.
Annabeth's POV
I stared at the large board in the airport, completely flabbergasted. Cancelled. My flight was cancelled. Wasn't moving my flight up a whole day earlier supposed to avoid this?! But no, all flights in and out of the airport were shut down until further notice. What would I do? Where would I go?! How would I get word to my dad? I really didn't want to risk making a phone call. The last thing I needed was monsters coming after me. In the middle of my panic attack, I calmed down as a grin spread across my face. I knew exactly what I would do. I grabbed my suitcase and went to go get a taxi. It looked like I would be spending Christmas with Percy after all.
