Hey…I'm back from my grandma's …It was a hell of nightmare…One of my cousins tried to hack my Facebook id for Zeus's sake. I mean, Jeez! So here I am, my ipod plugged in my ears. Simple Plan- 'Your love is a lie' is such an awesome song…Simple Plan Rules!

To tell u the truth, I was expecting some thanks from my readers but never mind…You all reviewed, thanx…It meant so much to me.

Special note to Bare Foot Beach Bum: Could you plz update ur story 'the third seat from the left'? I really liked it and because you used an Avril Lavigne song for Annabeth, makes it so much more likable for me coz I really love Avril Lavigne. Thnx for reviewing!

On with the story…

Percy POV

Wow, she is really pretty. I thought as I saw a girl of around my age, talking to a boy, while sitting on a garden bench.

Me and my friend (more like bodyguard), Grover was next to me. You see, we were in a very cramped position because of hiding behind a bush.

Even though I was THE Prince of Persia, I hadn't been on many combat missions. It was more like one quest in my life…

So I asked (more like begged) my father, King Posiedon to let me go on this one. It sounded so simple. Just go to our enemies, capture their spoiled, teenage daughter and bring her back to Persia. Piece of cake! But my dear father, absolutely forbid me to go.

"No, Perseus. I don't want you to leave. Remember the last quest you went to?"

So I did the natural thing, I snuck out. Only it didn't turn out to be such a piece of cake. We had to go around the HUGE Castle, all sneakily and I'm such a klutz, I kept stumbling. One time, I sneezed so loud, that a weird gardener (AN: That's Calypso. Tee Hee) looked around and started poking around the bush. I had to pull my stomach in so she wouldn't poke it.

Anyway, back to the mission. A girl came around to talk to the Princess and that boy. The boy left and after a few minutes, the girl did the same. The princess was alone now.

"Now's our chance." Grover muttered.

She turned and took a few steps towards the castle.

As quick as lightning, I jumped in front of her, while Grover came up behind her.

She looked even prettier, up close. She had long, curly blonde hair that was braided down one side. She had a proud face, plump lips and her eyes…they were a stormy grey.

"Who are you supposed to be?" She asked, her eyes were full of mirth. She thought we were joking.

"Your worst nightmare, Princess." Grover said and placed his palm beneath her neck and found the hollow directly beneath her skull. With crushing force, he drove his thumb into the soft cartilage and felt it depress.

The girl slumped instantly. As she fell forward, I caught her and heaved her across my shoulder.

" You have to teach me how to do that."

"Anytime. This is one of my special moves." Grover said with a grin.

We ran quickly but quietly to the other end of the courtyard. My other friend, Nico Di Angelo, a son of Hades, our advisor, was helping us with transportation to Persia. He had stashed three horses beneath the bridge on the shore of the river. We had to rendezvous with him there.

We tried to run faster, but there were a lot of people out on the streets and we couldn't just walk into the crowd with a limp figure on my shoulder which looked suspiciously like their beloved princess. So, we had to stop from time to time, to let them pass.

We mostly travelled by the path in the woods. I accidentally, bashed the girl's head when we passed a tree. I tried not to feel guilty about that.

"He said we would find him somewhere around here."Grover said, trudging ahead of me. "Look, there he is." He pointed into the gloom.

It was getting dark and I had to squint to see towards the shadowy figure.

"Hey guys. Please don't tell me there are guards following you." Nico said as we got closer.

He had shaggy dark hair and olive skin. His eyes were brow-…wait, why am I describing Nico?

"No, no. The mission was a success. Here she is." Grover reassured him.

I laid her down on the shore.

"Well, she sure looks the part. Did she struggle at all?" Nico asked, while tying her wrists and ankles.

"Nope, she thought we were playing a prank on her so she just laughed." I explained.

"I don't blame her for that. You know, you look nothing like a kidnapper, Percy?" Nico grinned.

"Of course I do!" I told him, indignantly.

"Sure, sure." Nico said.

"We should get going." Grover said, looking around.

"Yeah" Nico plopped up the girl so she wouldn't fall off his horse, and climbed up behind her.

"Hey Blackjack…" I said to my pure black horse."Let's go, boy."

He neighed in response.

I climbed on him and we galloped into the night.

Again, too lazy to write more. So I'm coming to a stop at the end of 'Generation' by Simple Plan and the start of 'Alice' by Avril Lavigne.

And have any of you ever heard 'She's the girl all the bad guys want' (again) by Simple Plan. I think it would be perfect on Nico/Thalia or our all time fav couple Percy and Annabeth, although it would make Percy seem wimpy...hmmmmmm…PlZ REVIEW AND TELL ME ABOUT IT…

Anyway,ciao!
