(A/N Chapter two!)
Annabeth's POV
I was about to talk to Percy about our capture the flag strategy when Poseidon comes and wants to talk to him.
From what I know, if the gods want to talk to their kid they call an official Olympus meeting.
I thought about putting on my cap and sneaking over to listen, not that I'm a stalker or anything, but a daughter of Athena can't help to be curious.
Then I realized just how much trouble I would be in and decide to stay and hear what I could from here.
The only thing I heard though was Percy say no in a voice that would scare Lord Zeus himself.
No offense big guy.
After that he turned to face me with a huge smile that showed none of the power his voice previously held.
He came over and said, "I got a joke!"
"Oh really," I ask just to play along deciding I will investigate later.
"Yeah!" he says as his grin gets impossibly bigger, "Knock, knock."
"Who's there?"
"Interrupting sea cow."
"Interrupting sea cow w…"
"MOO!"
He cracks up.
I'm actually nervous that he can't breathe by how hard he's laughing.
I roll my eyes at him and we start talking about capture the flag until Chiron notices where I'm sitting and makes me move.
Later I go look for him to ask about this morning.
I walk down to the dock suspecting him to be there.
I was right.
I came over to see him climbing out.
What surprised me was Poseidon was there talking to him.
I was about to walk away when Poseidon said, "Annabeth, good, I need to talk to you as well."
I walk over as Percy says, "Really dad, I appreciate it, but I don't actually think it's necessary."
Poseidon gives him a pointed look and turns to me, "You and Percy need to be at Olympus tomorrow morning," he looks at Percy, "and make sure he actually shows up."
With that he burst into bright light and disappears.
I look at Percy and ask with a playful push, "What did you do to get us both summoned?"
He looked at me and I expected some smart remark, but all I got was an intense look as he said, "Please don't make me go," With his best puppy dog face.
I've seen him face down monsters and countless other things so it worried me.
It worried me about what could possibly make Percy Jackson beg when he's usually so laid back.
"I don't think it's a good idea to ignore a direct summons from your father."
He looks defeated as he says, "Whatever then, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
He rolled his eyes and practically ran back to his cabin.
I whisper, "Sorry," after him but I know he doesn't hear it.
After he disappears I walk back to the Athena cabin wondering what could make him like that.
"Oh well, I guess I'll find out tomorrow," I mutter as I fade into a dreamless sleep.
(A/N So, what do you guys think? I really don't know how long I should make these. Longer, Shorter, please help me. ;) Thanks for reading!)
