Chapter 1: A Date to Remember

After the car ride to Camp Half-Blood, Percy went around to all of his friends to catch up on the times. They hadn't seen each other in a year after all and Percy was anxious to tell them about what he'd been up to. He met up with Clarisse, Connor and Travis, Will, and Grover, and told them about managing to get expelled on the last day of school. He was met with similar reactions from all of them. First, the shock that it could happen. Second came the fact that they've only ever heard of Percy getting expelled for being polite and that his luck must be worse than your average demi-god.

Meanwhile, Annabeth was in the woods talking to a man, she says, "Look, we've got to stop this, if Percy finds out it would break his heart."

"But Annabeth," the unknown man whined, obviously used to getting his own way, "You know you like being with me. Why don't you break up with him and go out with me?"

"Because, I love Percy, and not in the way I love you," Annabeth spoke carefully, not trying to insult him, "Can we please just have an amicable end?"

"For now, but if you think this is over, you're mistaken," he said. Annabeth turned her back and started to walk away. She had work to do and a date to plan. Annabeth wanted to have Percy meet her on the beach so they could go for a swim. But she didn't want him to know the details, Annabeth planned on just vaguely telling him to meet her by the water at midnight tonight. This made her considerably happier. Annabeth hadn't noticed how her mood had darkened after talking with the man, and was happy she was doing something to get him out of her mind.

"Hey, Wise Girl!" Percy called, "Whatcha up to?"

"Oh nothing much, just meet me by the water at midnight, please," she answered.

"Huh? Why?"

"For a date you silly Seaweed Brain," she told him teasingly, "Sometimes guys are so dense."

"Hey! We are not!" Percy said.

"Yes, you are," Annabeth told him, "Just be there tonight, okay?"

"Of course, Wise Girl. I wouldn't miss it for the world," he promised. This broke Annabeth's heart just a little as she thought about her affair. She found little comfort in the fact that he wouldn't ever find out.

He had archery with the Apollo cabin now, and he was dreading it. He would be lucky to hit the closest target once today. But he was forced to try nonetheless as Chiron was determined to turn him into an archer yet.

In the entire class, Percy just hit the target once, and the arrow hadn't even been stuck in! The Apollo guys were just laughing at how Percy could have trained for years and still suck this bad. To them, it just couldn't be possible.

"Oh, shut up will you? I bet you were this bad at one point!" Percy said in frustration.

"Yeah we were, on the first shot we took!" said a taller Apollo demi-god. "After the second lesson we barely missed!"

"That's why I'm a son of Poseidon, so I can beat your asses with water!" A column of water shot out of the basin and drenched the other demi-gods.

"Gods damn it, Percy! Dry us off. Now!" The Apollo cabin yelled.

"Nah I'm good," Percy turned his back and walked away. Just then out of the blue, an arrow came from behind and went through his pants, trapping his foot on the ground. Percy just drew his sword and cut the arrow so he could walk away. He spent the time until dinner just walking around the camp, catching up with others of his friends whom he didn't meet up with right away. As Percy passed the Athena table to go give his offerings to the gods. Annabeth stopped him to give him a reminder about their date for tonight. Percy just told her he hadn't forgotten and will try to be their early. Percy's dinner for today was simple, a hamburger and French fries. He dumped a quarter of his fries and a small portion of his burger into the flames for Poseidon. Just about everyone ate their food fairly fast; Chiron had an announcement for them.

As the last person cleared their plate, Chiron began, "Campers! Today I have an announcement. As you all know, Tantalus tried to bring back the chariot races a few years ago. I am going to be reinstating them into the monthly camp routine. You need at least one other person to participate and the first race will be held on July 26th! Thank you all," As Chiron finished Percy knew exactly who his partner for these races was going to be, Annabeth.

Annabeth couldn't really decide whether she even wanted to participate in these races. Last time they had a race, Stymphalian Birds had attacked them and half the charioteers had been injured. She already knew Percy would want to do them with her; she also knew she wouldn't be able to resist if he asked.

"Annabeth, wanna be my partner for the races with me?" Percy asked.

"Sure, Seaweed Brain," she sighed, "Can we wait to start until tomorrow at least?"

"Sure, we wouldn't want you trying to tell me chariot ideas while we are on our date, right?" he worded it like a question, but it was more like a statement.

"Yeah Perce, midnight, don't forget," she said

"I won't." Annabeth turned around and went back to her cabin to finalize her plans for tonight. She didn't want him to ever forget this date.

Annabeth stood nervously on the beach, she checked the time. It was 11:55 and he hadn't showed yet. She knew she had said midnight but she almost left. She didn't though, and soon found jet black hair and sea green eyes staring at her.

"You're late," she said accusingly. It was midnight on the dot.

"No, I'm on time," Percy chuckled.

"Yeah, but you said you'd be early!" Annabeth spoke like a four year old.

"So what? At least I wasn't late. Now c'mon Ms. In A Rush. You're going to be late soon." Annabeth had Percy swim them down to the rock where they had their first date. Percy created an air bubble for the couple to sit in. As he sat down, lights somehow flared on in the middle of the ocean!

"Woah! Annabeth, how'd you do this?" Percy wondered in amazement.

"Lots, and lots of prayers to both Zeus and Poseidon," she explained. "And it won't ever be allowed again." They sat under the ocean talking about their lives before becoming a demi-god. Well, Annabeth did most of the talking. She already knew what Percy had done. Jumping around schools and getting expelled. Annabeth's life before she had joined Thalia and Luke was something very few people, if any, knew about. She had at first been given up for adoption in a fit of anger by her father. Once he realized what he had done though, he took her back to raise her properly. He had provided everything for her, except for love. He was rarely home, working late nights and early mornings. She had run away feeling unloved and uncared for. Something which Percy would never allow to happen again to her. He loved her, and she loved him. According to Percy, that was all that mattered. The two continued to talk for a while and laughed when Rainbow the hippocampus swam by.

"He says 'hello'," Percy told Annabeth. She pouted in a cute way when she checked her watch and told Percy it was time to return to the surface. He was in for another surprise when Annabeth pulled out a picnic basket. The daughter of Athena laid out the food in a very creative way. She had brought out food such as pasta and meatballs and various Italian deserts. As the night came to a close, the couples' heads started closing together. Their lips capturing the other's in a passionate kiss. They kissed for many minutes until Percy needed air.

"I love you, Wise Girl," Percy said adoringly.

At these words Annabeth tensed up, she thought about what she had done with the other man but forced out the words, "I love you too, Seaweed Brain."

They parted for the night and Percy walked back to his cabin while Annabeth did hers. They each fell asleep thinking about the wonderful night they had together.
