Percy POV

I was praying my demigod heart out that Zeus was going to let me fly. If he blasts my butt out of the sky, there would be a civil war between the gods. I was packing when Annabeth knocked on my door.

"Percy?" Annabeth stepped in the door. "Are you done packing yet?"

I came out of the bathroom with my toothbrush and other toilitrys. "No, I'm almost done thought."

Annabeth sat her bag down and flopped down on my bed. "Thinking about flying?" She folded her hands in her lap.

I nodded and stuffed my Camp Jupiter shirts in my bag. "How did you know?"

Annabeth sighed. "Seaweed Brain, I just know you."

I zipped my bag shut and sat down on the bed next to her. "I was praying that he didn't blast me out of the sky." I kissed her cheek.

Annabeth smiled. "I hope so too Seaweed Brain. And if you're done here, Argus is going to take us to the airport with Chiron."

I nodded and stood up. "I'm ready."

Annabeth kissed me and pulled me out the door. "But first Kellie wants you to meet Jordan and Hannah, they haven't been claimed yet."

I nodded. "Okay, do you have any idea who their parents are?"

"Well Kellie's guessing Apollo for Jordan and Ares for Hannah." Annabeth explained. "Guess what Chiron added to the oreintation video?"

"What?" I stepped cautiously over a pile of fresh pegasus manure.

"Our story. The whole story." Annabeth said with a big smile.

"Our story? Since we were like twelve?"

"Seven actually." Annabeth said as we approached Kellie, Jordan and Hannah.

I smiled, I was a camp legend. "That's awesome." I said. "Wait, did they get our underwater kiss?" I groaned.

Annabeth laughed. "Yes, Connor and Travis got everything on video."

I laughed and put my arm around her shoulder and pulled her in for a big kiss. "Hey Connor! Travis! Did you get that on video?"

Connor Stoll popped out of the bushes with a go pro. "Chiron is paying us five drachma's for every video we get." He ran away.

Travis appereared where his brother was and was holding a hand held camera. "Don't mind me. Kiss again, do something! I need money!"

I laughed and kissed Annabeth long and slow, I slid my tounge inside her mouth which made Travis laugh. "Okay, that's good! Oh Chiron!" He shut his camera and ran to the big house.

I finished my kiss with Annabeth and laughed. "You gotta do whatever you do to get money."

Annabeth blushed and slapped my chest. "You're such a Seaweed Brain." She took my hand again. "Lets just hope that they didn't see that."

I had a total brain fart. I forgot they were waiting for us. I looked back over at them, Jordan and Kellie were involved in some deap conversation that had a lot of hand movements.

"Come on. I guess we have to go see them before we leave." I picked up my duffle bag and walked with Annabeth to see them.

"That was disgusting. That little show you put on there, nasty." Hannah said when we approached them.

Annabeth blushed a very angry red and her hand tightend around mine, I had to save this. "So, Hannah. Do you know who your Dad is?"

Hannah shook her head. "No."

I sighed. "Background information might help."

"Well, my Mom was in the millitary-"

"Ares, it's Ares." Annabeth suddenly interupted. "Colonel Catherine Fray, shot once in the shoulder. Yes, I've heard about your Mom."

Hannah looked flabergausted. "How do you know that?"

"My Dad took me to see a millitary base once, your Mom was the tour guide."

I squeazed Annabeth's hand. "Kellie, did you tell them about us or do we have to explain everything?" I asked.

Kellie winced. "Sorry guys, you're probabley going to miss your flight now."

I checked my watch. "Nah, we got a few hours still."

Kellie nodded. "Guys, this is Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, heroes of Olympus."

"Olympus? Isn't that the mountain in Greece-"

"No, I wish. But no." Annabeth said quickly. "Percy you start."

I nodded. "Have you all heard of Greek Mytholigy?"

"Can I press the bullshit button? There is no way that this is all true." Hannah said and put her hands in her hair.

Annabeth sighed. "It is, if we had like Frank here or something-"

I put my hand on top of hers. "Hannah, do we have to prove this or something?"

Hannah crossed her arms. "So if you're the son of Poseidon, show me some water tricks."

I got a nasty idea that made Annabeth say, "uh oh."

I got up from the picnic table and pulled Hannah up with me. "Walk with me Hannah." I directed her toward the canoe lake.

"So, are you going to prove it?" Hannah said.

I glanced back at Kellie who was pale faced and I smiled. "Of course, have you ever wanted to breathe underwater?"

Hannah snorted. "Yeah, but like that's possible."

We were ten feet from the shore line. "It is possible- watch." I grabbed her arm and yanked her underwater and waited a few seconds for her to freak out while I breathed perfectly normal. I made an air bubble around us for her to breath, I leaned back and watch my handy work as Hannah turned paler, and paler and paler.

"Does this prove it?" I smirked.

Hannah was as white as a ghost, she nodded. "Y-y-yes."

"I'll pop the bubble and then I'll dry you off when we get up on the beach." I said and willed the bubble to pop.

I pulled Hannah up on dry land and touched her shoulder to dry her off. Who, by the way was so pale I thought she was going to faint. Some daughter of Ares huh?

We walked back over to the picnic table, Annabeth was giggling like crazy, Jordan was sputtering and Kellie was laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes.

Hannah slumped down on the table. "I-I believe you." She said, staring blankly at the flower center peice.

Annabeth bent her head into my shoulder and laughed and silently as she could.

"So, Annabeth. Shall we be going to the air port?" I asked.

"Wait!" Kellie suddenly said. "Don't you want to tell them about-" She stopped. "Tartarus." She whispered.

I sat back down. "I forgot." I whispered, I didn't want to cause a whole scene.

Kellie waved her hands. "Wait, you already told me. I can tell them."

Annabeth took my hand to steady herself. "Percy, come on. I'm getting tired of telling so many new demigods. We'll just have other people say it." She looked at me with tears in her eyes.

I took her hand and rubbed circles in her knuckles. "Yeah, I think Argus is waiting for us."

Annabeth told Kellie goodbye, picked up her bag and walked into the van. I did the same and told myself we won't have a flashback until we are safely in the van.

Argus started the car as I slid the door shut, Annabeth was staring blankly at the seat infront of her.

"Annabeth?" I touched her shoulder but it made her flinch. "Annabeth, it's me Percy."

At my touch, Annabeth started to cry. She cried until she was crying nothing. Luckily that's when we reached the airport. Argus grunted from the front seat.

"Thanks." I wiped my eyes and slipped him a few drachmas.

"Annabeth, it's okay. Come on, we're going to California! Aren't you taking a few days off of camp to see your Dad?"

Annabeth nodded. "Come on, Zeus is probabley mad already." She motioned to the twenty mile an hour wind.

I picked up our bags, took Annabeth's hand, and approached the airport with little bravery but with more courage than I felt.

Annabeth noticed my pale face as we went through security, she had the Hecate cabin hide her knife and a ruler of something. "Percy, it's going to be fine."

The security gaurd chuckled. "First time flying?" His brown eyes crinkled with age.

I steadied my shaking hands. "No, I hate it though."

Annabeth smiled and took off her sweatshirt. "You'll survive... Hopefully." She muttered the last part.

So after forever, we got through security and started boarding the plane. All the demigods flew first class between camps. "Chiron really out did himself this time." I stuffed a bag in the over head compartment.

Annabeth smiled and settled herself in a window seat. "He always does." She smiled.

I sat down next to and took out a magizene I packed. "So, this is like a seven hour flight? Round trip?"

Annabeth nodded. "Hey, if you want to get to Camp, you better be patient." She said that and then cracked up laughing. "Nevermind." She gasped between giggles.

I laughed until the adults in the seats next to us stared. "This is so weird, we're kids and adults with their computers and stuff, I hope we crash them with our demigodness." I whispered to Annabeth.

"We will be taking off in five minutes, I repeat five minutes." The pilot said over the radio.

Annabeth smiled. "See Seaweed Brain, it's going to be fine."

I nodded and took her hand to remind myself that she's there. She's alive. We're alive. "I know." I said and forced myself to look at the seat infront of me.

"Percy." Annabeth said sternly. "Look at me."

I turned my head to look at her. "What?"

"If Zeus blasts us down, Poseidon will challenge war on him. Do you think Zeus wants a civil war on his hands? The gods will be choosed to pick sides." Annabeth held my chin in her hand.

I swallowed a lump in my throat. "I fine." I lied, I was terrified.

Annabeth kissed me. "You big lier." She slid her finger across the movie screen to pick one. "What movie to do you want?"

I shrugged. "Your pick."

Big mistake, we ended up watching the Fault in Our stars which left Annabeth sniffiling at the end.

"Okay, my turn." I said and slid through the selection. "How about Nemo?" I asked.

Annabeth shrugged. "What every floats your... butt." She grinned at me.

I laughed silently because the adults were asleep and I picked the movie and plugged both of our headphones in.

Annabeth leaned against my shoulder and closed her eyes to fall asleep. I stroked her hair and watched Nemo's mom get eaten, which made me sad thinking about my Mom worrying about me flying across the whole United States.

Annabeth snored softly against my sweatshirt. "Percy." She mumbled and fidgeted. I was alert. "Percy." She mumbled again.

We hit a bump of turbulence and my heart leap.

Annabeth squrimed. "Percy." She said, kind of like- when she's having a nightmere.

"Annabeth, Annabeth wake up." I prodded her shoulder.

"Percy save me." Annabeth yelped, waking some of the adults.

"Annabeth, it's okay." I said and shook her.

Annabeth opened her eyes so that I could find that they were totally glazed over. "Percy, Bob." She almost screamed.

I hugged her, trying to muffle her cries but it attracked the attention of some flight attendance. "Is she okay?" One asked with long blonde hair.

"Yes." I lied and hugged Annabeth even more as she walked away. "Annabeth, it's me Percy."

At that word, Annabeth broke down into tears and sobbed silently into my shirt. "Percy, you almost died."

I wiped the tears from my cheeks and stroked her hair. "When have I not almost died?" I said and sniffed.

Annabeth laughed and sobbed. "Just a normal life." She glared at a computer and it started smoking.

"Whoa!"

Annabeth laughed and wiped her eyes. "I'm fine Seaweed Brain."
