Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters… sad right? Wahhh….

A/N: Hey guys! So… sorry if chapter two was a bit random haha :P thankyou all for your suggestions and reviews! I couldn't wait to get writing again about this fanfic. I would really love more reviews because I do read them and they give me a lot of support. You guys are my inspiration!

Percy's POV

"Be careful" Annabeth said to me. We were going on boats to cross the lake. The other three I met on the train wasn't here. Beside us were a lot of smaller children. First years.

"Sooo… im guessing this is a special welcome." I said to Annabeth

"Agh.. im still half asleep. It must be like midnight." Thalia groaned.

"Thalia, we're on a- Whoa PERCY WATCH OUT!"

"What?" I began, but I never had time because I was knocked off the boat and sent splashing down into the cold lake. Above me, I heard gasps and screams. Fine, so this didn't happen everyday. I was about to propell myself to that building- Hogwarts I supposed. But even though im a son of Poseidon, things were kinda hard to see from underwater. I breathed in air bubbles and prepared myself to shoot across the water when a voice rang out from my head.

"Yes, and that's why you'll have to be extra careful. You. Must. Not. Blow. Your. Cover." Chiron's voice rang in my head, echoing loud and strong.

I braked at the last minute, and the water current hit me hard.

"Wow" I spoke underwater. "I never knew I had so much pressure behind" Then I groaned. "Man this hurts." I let the water heal my bruises, and I was as good as new in no time. A thought came to me "Annabeth would LOVE to see this, me healing all my bruises. Again." Then, "OH WAIT. NONONO. HOW LONG HAVE I STAYED IN HERE?!" You see, I loose track of time when im in the water. It feels like, imagine the best day you've ever had. No homework, no school, just something that you want to enjoy. Then times that by seven and imagine if you stayed here, it would never ever end. That's how I feel underwater. I propelled myself up in the air, forgetting all about Chiron's words about not blowing my cover, and shot up out of the water.

When I looked across, there were no boats. Except for a man poking a stick in the water.

"Encouraging." I muttered. I scanned the land for Annabeth. She was talking to Thalia and not acting worried at all.

"Great. Now what do I do?" If I swim towards shore, surely they will begin to be suspicious because I've be down here long enough to drown, magical or not. If I don't, well… that stick looks pretty sharp to me."

Then I had an only Annabeth could have brainwave. In other words, it was pretty smart for me to think of. I needed a distraction. But how could I contact her? I splashed a column of water up. To others, that was just some waves being disturbing. But to Annabeth, it was a code we up at Sea of Monsters. One huge kick. Help. I blasted a smaller wave of water up. Followed by another huge kick. Big-small-big. Dis-trac-tion. I saw Annabeth whisper to Thalia, and I knew she got my message. Trust a daughter of Athena to distract the whole school to look at her. What could she do?

"Help!" Thalia shouted.

This was my chance. I know time was short and I should've hurried to sneak in with the crowd, but I had to know what Annabeth was up to. I couldn't see her at this height, so I propelled myself upwards. Someone was lying on the floor. Annabeth. I was shocked. This isn't something she would do. I expected her to wave her sword around and then being the smart girlfriend she was, somehow get away with it. But fainting? Seriously? I mean, im not smart and all, and I could've done a lot better than THAT. Then it hit me. She must have remembered Chiron's words as well. No wonder she wouldn't act like a maniac waving her sword and probably hurting a few stick-waving wizards in the process.

"Smart", I complimented. Then I propelled myself with a powerful blast of water and swam to shore. I reached there in a few seconds but the land was several metres high. Did not think of that one. If I propelled myself, people would see me. If I didn't, well how in hades was I supposed to get up there?! Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a ladder. It was impossible. Who would have a ladder? Then I saw a women sitting beside it, looking at the horizon. I sucked my breath in so quickly, I must have swallowed water. That was a first. And it wasn't fun.

The women was the eternal maiden goddess: Artemis.

Taking most of my bravery and pride, I got up the ladder and drained the water out of my clothes to become dry. The goddess wasn't looking at me, but somehow I had a feeling she wasn't here to just get water splashed on her (accidently) when I was drying my clothes. But I had no idea how to begin a conversation with a goddess. I ran a few idea's in my head.

Hey. Whats up. Nope. Too casual. There's a high chance artemis might get pissed and use her silver arrow to blast be out of the sky.

What about- So, come to visit me? No. Too cheeky. And it would be awkward if she said yes.

Finally the goddess seemed impatient. She turned to me.

"Percy Jackson." The goddess began.

Why does everyone call me like that? I thought, a little annoyed. Every single god begins with my name when they are talking to me. Well, except for Dionysus who calls me Pedro Johnson.

"Do you know why I am here?" She continued.

"Umm… no" I answered, rather lamely.

She shook her head as if there were no hope.

"You have a difficult road in front of you."

Then I did the most crazy thing. I spoke to her without thinking. Which is top on my list for "101 ways to get killed by gods and goddesses"

"Can you just tell me without the prophecies? I want you to be straightforward."

At once. I wanted to swallow that back. Curses.

Artemis laughed. "You've got a nerve, Percy. But we gods and goddesses were never allowed to go in the ways of fate."

I tried to behave myself. "So… why are you here?

"You have many difficulties ahead of you. Up in Olympus many gods are arguing for Chiron to send you without their permission. Poseidon is having quite a temper up there.

"But why? I can help. I want to save camp."

"You're his favourite Percy. This is a suicide mission."

"Thankyou, miss look-on-the-bright-side"

"Don't use sarcasm with me, Percy Jackson."

Great. I thought. I ticked her off. Again.

"Aphrodite is also very unhappy."

"Aphrodite?! But she never does anything!"

Artemis laughed again. "She's the goddess of love. She does more than you think. But more importantly, I think she has a crush. On you."

"The goddess of ultimate beauty and the one who controls love likes me?!" I said unbelieving and confused.

"Yes. Why are you happy?"

"No!" I felt my cheeks redden and tried to mask it by splashing water on my face. "I- I have Annabeth."

Artemis looked at me, as if she was thinking.

"Ok that's it. Just be careful, Percy. Good luck and stay alive."

"Bye?" I said. Like seriously, how do say bye to a goddess. Farewell?

As she disappeared probably back into Olympus I swear I heard her say, "Well it certainly seems Athena will be satisfied in what his reaction was."

I felt my cheeks redden again, and then I realised that probably a long time has passed. But the crowd still hasn't noticed me, talking with a women yet? I looked at the crowd and suddenly time unfroze.

"Thank the gods" I said. It would be so weird to explain to Annabeth. Especially the part where…where I talked about her and me being together.

I sneaked quickly into the crowd and tapped Thalia on the shoulder. She was about to gasp but quickly silenced herself.

"Um excuse me?" She said to the man, who was STILL poking that stick in the water."

"Yes?" He grunted.

"Sorry for the trouble, I've found the missing student. Percy Jackson. He- uh. Fell asleep."

The man looked furious but quickly walked back into the castle. The other students followed him and began muttering between themselves and looking at me. Annabeth crawled up from her "fainting" position. As we walked into the hall ready to be "sorted" Annabeth whispered to me, "Care to explain your meeting with Artemis?"

Damn. Sometimes it's just unfair to have a girlfriend as a child of Athena who just clicks her fingers and can put two and two together.

Haha hope you guys enjoyed the little Artemis-Percy moment. This scene was requested by theHuntress101. Hope you liked it! Feel free to leave reviews!

"Hey readers! Annabeth here!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Hey- just wanted to ask you, what exactly did Artemis say to Percy?"

I smirked. "You've have to wait until I update."

"NOOOOOO!"

Haha. Annabeth's pleading face: priceless.
