Author's Note: First, I would like to thank all of the people who reviewed the story, especially Percabeth-12 for the very encouraging review. Secondly, I hoped you all liked chapter one, I know it was sad at the end but I'm going to make this one a happy chapter right at the beginning. Well here it is chapter 2!

Percy deflected a jab at his stomach and then another at his head. It was Friday at Camp Half-Blood and Percy was sparring with all six of his students at once. He had already defeated Lucas and Annie and they were off to the side sparring with each other. He then grabbed Mike's hilt and threw his weapon to the ground. He then put the tip of his wooden practice sword to his throat and told him to go spar with the other two. Now it was just him vs. Desiree, Susie, and Joseph. He then hit Susie in the back of the knees with the hilt of his blade and put the point to her forehead. He reached out his head and picked her up off the ground and let her walk off to the side of the sparring area. Joseph was about to slash at Percy from behind but he tripped and fell flat on his face, Percy laughed and kicked the sword out of Joseph's hand. "Nice try Joe." Now it was down to him and Desiree. Due to Desiree being the daughter of Ares, she was a great fighter. She jabbed at him wildly with her spear causing Percy to back step to the edge of the sparring circle, then Percy took one step forward and kicked the spear out of her hand. She kneeled on the ground as a sign of surrender and Percy put the sword tip to her chest.

But before he could make a death blow, the tip of a knife pressed lightly against his back. "Don't move Seaweed Brain." Percy turned around and saw Annebeth smiling back at him.

Percy smiled back at her "Welcome back Wise Girl, I have something to talk to you about after I'm done training today. Would you wanna meet me on the beach at 9o'clock?"

Annebeth blushed, "Yes, sounds good Percy, I'll be there." She nodded and ran back towards her cabin. Percy smiled and went back to sparring with his students.

Inside of the Athena Cabin

Annebeth ran into her room and screamed into her pillow. She was so excited to be alone at the beach with Percy. She wondered what Percy had wanted to be alone to talk to her about. Before she could think about it, two of her Athena sisters came into the room.

One of them asked "we heard you yelling, is something wrong Annebeth?"

Annebeth giggled "actually just the opposite" Annebeth had told her sisters about her love for Percy, "Percy asked me to meet him at the beach tonight at nine! Her sisters ran over to Annebeth and gave her a hug, but then looked at her kind of strangely.

"Ok, if you're going to meet Percy, you can't be wearing...that." Annebeth looked down at what she was wearing, she wouldn't have wanted to see Percy in this either. She was wearing an old gray sweatshirt, with light blue sweat pants. She was in her outfit that she wore when she stayed inside to read. She blushed when she realized she had talked to Percy a while ago while she was wearing this. Her sisters smiled, "Don't worry Annebeth, its 7'oclock; we have two hours to make you look like a princess." Her sisters pushed her into a chair in front of the mirror and smiled. And for the next to hours, they played with her hair, makeup, and wardrobe.

Inside of the Poseidon Cabin

Percy dropped Riptide on his bed and went to look in the mirror, his face was covered in sweat and his shirt was cut in a few places. He looked and his clock and realized that he only had 20 minutes before he had to meet Annebeth. He ran took and quick shower and changed his clothes. He looked into the mirror one last time and combed his shaggy black hair. He grabbed his backpack, slipped Riptide into the side pocket and left his cabin.

Percy got down to the beach 10 minutes before 9 o'clock, he set a blanket down on the sand he also brought a candle out of his backpack and set it on the blanket. After he lit the candle, he heard a rustle in the grass and looked up to the top of the hill. There she stood, and she was stunning. Percy's mouth was hanging open; she was wearing a tight dress that was black with sparkles on it. Her hair waved lightly over her shoulders to her back. She wore a shiny lip gloss as well, which made her face almost radiate beauty. When Annebeth saw Percy, her face lit up, she ran down the hill to him and gave him a hug, then they both sat down on the blanket.

"So Seaweed Brain, you said that there was something important to tell me?"

Percy looked nervous but he went on with it anyway, "well Annebeth I know you value our friendship, and it used to be more than good enough for me but……"

Annebeth was completely shocked, tears started to well up in her eyes; he doesn't even want us to be friends anymore? "Its ok, Percy, if you don't wanna be friends anymore, that's just fine with me." She started to get up but Percy grabbed her hand and pulled her back onto the blanket.

"Annebeth that's not what I mean at all! What I mean is," he grabbed both of her hands, "Annebeth I was wondering if you would be…um….you know…my girlfriend?"

Annebeth giggled, "Yes, Yes, YES!" She jumped at Percy and held him so tight to her. Percy kissed Annebeth on the cheek and pulled her up to her feet.

Percy looked into Annebeth's eyes "Annebeth, will you follow me anywhere?"

Annebeth stared back into Percy's eyes and whispered, "Anywhere and everywhere Seaweed Brain." Percy smiled and started running towards the water. "Percy, what are we doing?" Percy pulled Annebeth into the water and started to dive under with her, right when Annebeth was about to complain but then she realized that her dress was still completely dry. One of the benefits of being in love with the son of Poseidon. They were lying on the bottom of the lake in an air bubble, Annebeth laid her head on Percy's shoulder and he stroked her back. Annebeth reached up and kissed Percy on the lips. "I love you Seaweed Brain."

Percy sighed, "I love you too Wise Girl." Then Annebeth fell asleep with Percy's arms wrapped around her. Percy was lost in his thoughts. Wow, she is so beautiful, I am so glad that I asked her down here. I never thought anyone would wanna be with somebody like me. I wonder what mom and dad will think about this. I know my mom will be happy but I hope dad doesn't turn me into a starfish and feed me to a dolphin for dating his rival's daughter. Speaking of Athena, I hope she doesn't blast me into a billion pieces. Wait, I don't care, as long as I get to spend time with Annebeth.

In the Morning

Annebeth awoke and looked around; she was back in her bed in the Athena cabin. She couldn't remember getting here last night; maybe last night was all just a dream after all. But then, her two sisters walked in the room with huge grins on their faces. "So Annebeth, how did it go last night?"

Annebeth smiled, "What are you to talking about?"

One of her sisters lightly smacked her shoulder, "Don't play dumb with us! We saw what happened last night; Percy carried you here all the way from the lake and put in bed while you were sleeping. It was so sweet and romantic." Just the mention of Percy made Annebeth blush. But before they could talk about it further, Percy knocked at the front door.

When Annebeth opened it Percy kissed her on the lips "Good morning Wise Girl, Chiron wants to see us as soon as possible up at the Big House." Percy took Annebeth's hand and they walked together to the Big House, when they got there, they both saw the green light flickering from the attic. The oracle was giving another prophecy. When they got up into the attic, the oracle had just started speaking:

A quest with a completion that requires three

A satyr, daughter of wisdom, and son of the sea

Accompanied by a giant and one-hundred hands

They find their goal in forgotten lands

One will take their final breath

And experience a fate far worse than death

The son of the sea will face the threat from above

And if he fails, he will lose his true love

Chiron looked at them with a serious expression on his face, "well, I'll leave you

two alone to talk about this."

As soon as Chiron exited the room, Annebeth broke down into tears and wrapped her arms around Percy. "No Percy No! I don't want to lose you!" She was crying so much that he could feel his shirt start to get wet with tears.

Percy hated to see her like this, "Please don't cry, please, I'm not going to die. The prophecy says if I fail we'll be separated. But I won't fail, if your happiness is on the line, I cannot lose." He took his hands off of her back and wiped away all of her tears. "I know what will cheer you up."

Annebeth looked up at him hopefully, "Really, what do you think will cheer me up?" Percy reached down and kissed her passionately; she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and pulled him deeper into the kiss. When they parted, they were both breathing heavily. "Wow," Annebeth said, "that did cheer me up." She smiled up at Percy.

"See, there's that smile that I love." Annebeth blushed, "Well Wise Girl, we should probably get going."

Annebeth looked confused, "Where are we going Seaweed Brain?"

Percy now looked completely serious again, "We're going to Olympus, I need to talk to my father."
