Chapter 2

As soon as Annabeth walked into the hotel she could tell something was up. At first she couldn't tell what was bothering her, but she soon found out. Annabeth walked up to the front desk to check in and tried not to do anything to draw attention to her. That didn't work.

"Hello miss Chase, you will be in room 394. Here is you key, enjoy your stay!" the doorman said a little too enthusiastic.

"Um, thank you?"

Annabeth took the key and started towards her room, her hand never leaving the knife strapped to her belt.

Annabeth didn't get any sleep that night, whether it was the creepy doorman, or the fact that she would see Percy tomorrow, and most likely the rest of her friends from camp.

After Annabeth got up, showered, and ate breakfast, she headed to Percy's. She was going to surprise him before he went to school and spend the rest of the day helping Sally.

Standing outside of the Jackson's apartment Annabeth was wondering how she would get inside without Percy noticing, since she wanted to surprise him. Annabeth slipped on her invisibility hat, that she started carrying with her everywhere now, and opened the door, hoping she wouldn't scare Ms. Jackson/Blofis.

When Annabeth walked in Mr. Blofis was staring wide-eyed at the door that appeared to have just opened by its self and Ms. Jackson/Blofis was standing with her back to the door and yelling down the hall – at Percy's room.

"Percy for the hundredth time, GET UP!"

Annabeth took her invisibility hat off, greeted Mr. Blofis, and walked over to Ms. Jackson/Blofis .

"Good morning Ms. Blofis."

"Hello Annabeth, but please call me Sally."

Suddenly there was a lot of commotion in Percy's room, it sounded like he just fell off his bed. Percy came out of his room, still in his pjs, and said,

"Did I hear Annabeth?" then he looked behind his mother and at Annabeth and practically shouted,

"ANNNAAABEEETHHH," Percy then ran over to Annabeth, picked her up, spun her around, and kissed her.

"Annabeth, what are you doing here?"

"My dad is letting me come visit you!"

"Actually Annabeth," Sally started, "me and your father were talking and we agreed that you and Percy should be able to see each other more often. So, you will be staying with us and going to school with Percy for the rest of the year. If you want to of course."

"Wait so you would allow me to live with you?" Annabeth asked.

"Yes, your father sent most of your items ahead of you, and they are in the guest room."

"You will stay, won't you," Percy said with a huge smile on his face.

"Oh, of course I'm staying."
