Thank you to all of my fabulous reviewers!
To Cara, no I don't have the actual shirt or hat. I wish I did. *Sigh *
Reviewers rock! Now on to the story.
Alexis POV.
What the Hades did I get myself into? Sure I got to meet Percy and Annabeth, but at what price? Now they want to know how I know that stuff, and if I tell them, that might change the course of the future! Now Annabeth is giving me her "if I don't get answers you will die" look.
"Uh-uh w-ell, "I stuttered, trying to find an escape route. There were none. "I um well I um cant tell you. I'm really sorry, but you can't know. You would try to change it." Annabeth looked really really pissed off. I figured I better explain before she stabbed my guts out. "You see," I said, "there's this guy called Rick Riordan, who wrote a series of books about people called demigods. They go to camp Half blood. The main characters are Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. There are 5 books; the lightning thief is the first one. I have all 5, and that's how I know about you two and everything else. Everyone assumes its fiction." They stared at me in shock. "So you know everything that is going to happen to us?" Annabeth asked. "No, not everything," I replied. "There are still some parts missing, because the series ends without- no I can't say the rest. It could not even happen, although I pretty sure Mr. Riordan wasn't just guessing. If you have questions, I think I can probably answer them, but if not, I'll let you know."
"Ok," said Percy, "Will I lead another Quest?"
"Hmmm" I thought for a minute, "no, you don't lead any more Quests"(TLO doesn't count.) Before they could ask any more questions, the train stopped. "I have to go," I said. "Whatever you do, don't read those books. Good-bye!" I ran down the car to where my parents were getting off. I joined them, hoping that Annabeth and Percy had listened to me.
A FEW DAYS LATER
Annabeth POV
Well, Percy made it back from Olympus safely, and I was leaving camp for winter for the first time. I was going home with my dad. I couldn't stop thinking about that girl, Alexis Jacoles. It was driving me crazy! I hated not knowing! I walked towards the forest trying to stay calm. Then I saw two nymphs dragging an unconscious figure out of the forest. I ran closer, only to freeze when I recognized the boy they were carrying. "Percy!" I cried, sprinting to him. He looked terrible! His hand was red and swollen, and he was turning green. Chiron galloped up, "What-oh my gods! Annabeth help me carry him!" We made it to the big house where I fed him ambrosia. His color got better, and Chiron wrapped his hand. Eventually, his eyes fluttered open. "What happened?" asked Chiron. Percy looked straight at me. "Luke." He said, "He, he is working for Kronos. Scorpion…bit me …he vanished." I got a cold feeling in my stomach. I remembered the Alexis girl. "Don't feel too bad about what happens, you can't do anything about it." Regardless, I felt awful. I couldn't believe Luke would do that. (Because I am way too lazy to write down the following conversation, this is a time lapse.)
ALEXIS POV
I was walking through New York after ditching my parents (long story), so I decided to head to the mall. I love to shop, and get new make-up. I never really wear it, but I like trying it on. So I was going down the make-up counter, smelling the perfumes and trying to find a perfect lipstick shade when I ran into someone with more shopping bags then me. Not an easy feat, I can tell you that. I looked up and whoa! The girl was really pretty! It made me jealous; I wished I had a face like that. I thought about my limp blonde hair, my best feature, and how hers was so much prettier, when the thought was pushed from my mind. Suddenly, I felt more confident, and I thought about my ex-boyfriend Mike, whom I was still heart-sore over. I realized that I was being silly, and that we should stop fighting. I glanced up again and realized I was looking at the Goddess Aphrodite. She smiled and said "Hmm, very few realize who I am. How did you know?"
"Long story" I replied. She looked at the lipstick I was still holding and said "Oh no, definitely not your shade. Here, try this." I took the little tube and glanced at it. "You're right!" I exclaimed. "Its perfect!" "Of course. You didn't think I would be wrong, did you?" she asked. "I know!" she said. "I'll give you a make-over!" It was great, but I was hesitant. I knew that I could pay for one of her makeovers, but my parents would be upset if I spent money on useless things. "Oh don't worry about that! I'll pay!" she said, probably reading my thoughts. "Umm…I guess so," I said, but she had already whisked me away to the nearest Abercrombie, and before I knew it, I was trying on all sorts of tee shirts and tank tops and shorts and jeans and jewelry and makeup and accessories. I was in and out of outfits so fast I didn't even see them. Aphrodite was in her element, dragging me to different stores and kiosks, tutting and smiling and saying things like: "hmm, not quite right" and "ooo its perfect!" We were a whirlwind of clothes and bags. She finally said, "So, what do you think?" I looked in the mirror. I couldn't believe it! I looked fabulous! My hair was bouncing lightly, freshly curled with highlights. I was wearing lipstick, lip liner, lip-gloss, mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, blush, perfume, and undefined sparkle stuff. My clothes were all designer, and fit perfectly. I looked really thin, but not to small in some areas, if you know what I mean. I had a manicure and a pedicure, which I could see through my strappy high heels. I turned around to thank her, only to find that she was gone. I smiled and whispered "thank you." Hoping that she heard. The air was sweet with designer perfume, so I thought maybe she did. I started to walk away, enjoying the feel of my curls bouncing, but then I felt a rough hand grab my waist.

I can't imagine how much you must hate me right now. But I don't care; I'll update soon, but please review!!!!! No review=no happy me=bad story=unhappy readers!
BTW if you have read the price is right, Demigod edition or Aphrodite's revenge, THEY ARE NOT WRITTEN BY ME!!! I let my friend borrow my account, and she wrote them. She now has her own username, which is athenagal. If you haven't read the stories, they are under my name. My friend just informed me that she is waiting for 5 reviews before updating, FYI.
Remember to review! I'll try to update, but I am very busy, so don't expect anything major.
Ps: I'm sorry about the sudden girly turn, but I really wanted Alexis to meet Aphrodite. CIO!
