Annabeth's seven. she's crying because she'd lost marnie her stuffed teddy bear- well actually it's an owl- that her mother had won her. they had been searching for over half an hour and her parents are just told her that it was getting late and that they couldn't keep looking. A boy with wild looking black hair raced up to her looking out of breath. " you dropped this," he tells Annabeth simply. Annabeth stops crying and slowly takes the owl from the boy.
"Thank you," Annabeth tells him. He looks up at her and smiles then walks away. It tickles something in her memory. The only thing Annabeth really registers though are his sea green eyes.
"Percy don't you ever run away like that again!" A woman, probably his mother Annabeth decides, yells at the boy. Annabeth catches up to her parents and shows them the owl excitedly. She looks over her shoulder to wave at the boy but he's already gone. A couple weeks later a dark haired boy she half remembers waves at her in Walmart.
