Percy ran around the Patriot base, running in circles until he found the window that showed the boy's room. No-one hits me like that and gets away with it. Athen talking to himself, trying to be encouraging, when Percy pressed his ear to the window, but something "he" said cought Percy's attention.
"Don't worry, Annabeth. You'll do fine." "Annabeth" took off her cap, and her blond hair tumbled down to her waist. They have a woman as their General!? Percy nearly choked on his tongue. I have to tell General Zhang! (LOL! Frank!)

"General, I have a status report!" Percy barged into General Zhang's quarters.
"Continue."
"General Washington has appointed a new General. Upon further inspection, I can confirm that she is a girl. Chosen for her battle strategy, Sir!"
"Styx!" he cursed. "Must be a child of Athena!"
"What course of action shall I take, Sir?"
"Try to distract her. Anything that will make her brain like mush. Dismissed."
"Yes sir."
What can make an Athena-spawn's brain slow? Percy weighed the chances of completing this impossible task.

The answer came to Percy as he removed his dirty, sweaty clothes and slipped gently into an icy river near camp. Love. But how do I catch her eye? He smiled as he sunk deeper into the water, a plan quickly forming in his scheming eye.
