Exams are coming soon at my high school so I may not have much time to write a new chapter. I have a vacation in a few days so dont flame if I dont update in a while.

Chapter 2

Annabeth ran over to the Big House to talk to Chiron. Seeing as they only had three days to prepare, she wasn't willing to waste any time.

"Chiron, I've been researching the Heart of Olympus. It says the gods left it in the Fountain of Chaos, yet it provides no location. I thought I'd come to you. Do you have any knowledge of the fountain?"

"Even I am not old enough to know of Chaos and his remains," Chiron started. "I suggest asking your parents for any information they might have on the whereabouts of the Heart or the fountain." Annabeth decided to Iris-message her mother. It was a risky move but something needed to be done before they could leave for their quest. The goddess was getting quite tired of the constant use of her messaging system so it took quite a while to connect.

"Mother?"

"Oh Annabeth. Hello, how is everything. You never write, you never call. I may be a god but I can't know everything that my favorite daughter is doing. Are you still hanging around with Percy?"

"Mother, he is my friend. I messaged you because Chiron has assigned us a quest. Percy, Grover, and I must go retrieve the lost Heart of Olympus. I need to know possible locations of the Fountain of Chaos."

"As you know, every thing in the godly world moves with Western Civilization. So the fountain must be in a modern day American source of hazardous water. Now think where could that be?"

"Hmmmmmm. Oh the Global Nuclear headquarters. Thank you mother." Annabeth disconnected the message and went to find Percy. She headed over to the arena to talk to him about the fountain. He was working on his swordplay when she arrived.

Look at him, without a shirt. He's all sweaty and muscular and...Stop it! What are you thinking?

"Hey Annabeth. What's up? Have you found any info on the Heart of Olympus?"

"Well the Heart of Olympus was placed in the Fountain of Chaos by the Gods after it was created. They didn't want anyone having more power over it than the other. So the Fountain is a neutral zone. It's the only essence left of the creator. Its contents are deadly to mortals and can only be retrieved in times of dire need."

"So where is it?"

"At Global Nuclear Headquarters. That's where the fountain is located. Now all we have to do is look for any sign of who might have taken it."

"I'll go to Chiron and have him assemble our things. We can leave tomorrow. By the way, have you seen Grover anywhere? I need to talk to him about something."

"What is it?"

"Nothing really. Just guy stuff," he said.

"Oh okay. I'll find him for you," all the while trying to figure what could be so important.

Annabeth left the arena and went to the Big House to tell Chiron. After filling him in about the fountain she asked for the harpies to assemble their things. Chiron told her to get Percy for his prophecy. She left to find Grover. He was on a rock and would not move.

"Grover, what's wrong?"

"Oh nothing. It's just that I've been telling as many people as I can about Pan. He's gone and we have to make up for it. But no one believes me. They put me down, tell me I'm wrong, and laugh in my face. They call me failure. I can't take it anymore," he said between tears.

"Grover don't listen to them. You're the best satyr there ever was. Pan wouldn't have chosen you if he didn't believe in you. And that's all that matters. Don't listen to those other satyrs they're just jealous that you were chosen instead of them. Now come on, Percy needs to talk to about something."

"Okay and he picked himself up and walked off with Annabeth.

When they arrived back at the arena Percy was still training.

"Give yourself a break," Annabeth yelled. "It's been hours. Just sit down for a few minutes. I have Grover for you."

"Okay. For you." Annabeth blushed a little.

"And when your done," she said trying to hide her redness. "Chiron wants you to go to the Oracle."

"Oh ok."

Annabeth walked off, hand over her face and hurried back to her cabin. Percy and Grover sat down on the bench.

"Grover you can read emotions right?"

"Yeah. What about it?"

"Well Annabeth has been acting a little weird lately. I have no idea what's wrong with her. I need you to tell me what she's feeling, what she's thinking. Tell me she's alright."

"Well I promised myself I wouldn't do this."

"Do what?" Percy asked leaning in a little.

"Well dude. She's been blushing, laughing, giggling. I mean only an idiot could have trouble figuring this one out."

"Well thank you for calling me an idiot."

"I didn't mean it that way. Just never mind. Dude Annabeth likes you. It's obvious. It's also obvious you like her."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It's obvious. You talk about her constantly when she's not there, you always think about her..."

"How do you know that?"

"Empathy link, remember? Oh and you were visited by Aphrodite the goddess of love on a quest to save Annabeth! Duh!"

"Well what do you think I should do?"

"Dude ask her out!"

"Well I've thought about that but I don't know if she'll say yes."

'Whatever. That's doesn't matter now. What matters is finding that orb. Now we got to go if we can get any start on that quest we got to leave now."

Percy and Grover left the arena to meet up with Annabeth at the Big House. Little did they know, Silena was listening in on their entire conversation.
