So here it is again, Chapter 3. Honestly, I'm running out of ideas really. And I felt like the OOCness has gone haywire. But then, special requests by my friends have hounded me since I updated the previous chapters. I tried explaining them that it is intended to be 2 chapters but then well, it's kinda hard to turn down favors especially coming from friends. So I decided to write a third installment. And another special request from a special person: Another parody. So there ya go…AND PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW AND COMMENT SOMETHING. I would really appreciate it. Thanks. ^_^

My sweaty fingers were on hyper-press-the-button-mode. It's been like 3 hours has passed since I started playing God Of War on my PS2. Now the main hero, Kratos, goes on a rampage killing mythological monsters along the way (some of them weren't exactly what they look like when I actually fought them. They look more creepy). I thought that this guy is lucky. For him, the monsters he slaughtered were like cakewalk. How I wish its just that easy for me to duke it out with those vermins from Tartarus. If he only knew what it really feels like fighting monsters for real.

Then here it is. The final boss. And guess what? He's the lousiest creep I've ever met, Ares. Oh how I'd love to kick his butt again. After I wounded him during our first encounter 4 years ago, he's been seriously plotting his vengeance against me. But as the Fates dictated our lives, it wasn't meant to happen. The least he could do was well, he cursed my sword, Riptide, during my battle with Atlas. But despite the overwhelming odds, I managed to make it through and still saved Annabeth that time.

"GYEAH!" I yelled triumphantly.

Ha! Done! Ares is lying in his own pool of blood. Defeated. Vanquished. Or should I say PWNED. This is realy exhilarating. This is gratifying. I don't know but somehow this guy Kratos is something. It's like I'm beginning to be his fan. We have the same enemy. He hates Ares as much as I do.

As I was enjoying my moment of victory, I could hear someone behind me was calling. At first, it was faint. I couldn't hear really well because I set the T.V.'s volume to maximum. So I didn't take notice. It became louder and louder and then I heard like something was erupting from the ground and it sent a pulsating shockwave towards me that I turned around said to myself "Uh-oh".

"PERCY JACKSON! YOU IGNORE ME RIGHT NOW OR I'LL FORCE YOUR KELP-FILLED HEAD TO FIT IN YOUR PS2!"

It was Annabeth on Iris-Message. Her gray eyes glowering. Eyebrows met together. Clenched fists. If was there with her, she would definitely punch me in the arm.

"Um..Hi, Annabeth."

"I HAVE BEEN CALLING AT YOU FOR 5 MINS. AND 43 SECONDS AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TAKE NOTICE. YOU ARE NOT ONLY DUMB BUT ALSO DEAF."

"Hey..I'm sorry. I got carried away by the game. I pumped the volume to max that's why I didn't hear you. " I admitted.

"Hmmmp." She said softly but still upset.

For a while, we had this moment of awkwardness. Well, I kinda feel upset to myself though. I can't even say something to make up for my stupidity. But well, we've been through this and out of our petty quarrels. It happens on a regular basis. Then I noticed in Annabeth's background that there were ancient Greek houses, columns, gates and someone was there erecting a statue.

"You're in Olympus?"I asked

"Yes, Seaweed Brain…I have to oversee the renovations here."

"How long are you gonna be there?"

"I don't know Percy…maybe until tomorrow, I guess."

Tomorrow, it's a Sunday..Hmmm. It would not be a bad idea to ask her out tomorrow. Then I heard a villainous voice shouting at Annabeth…the idiotic war god Ares.

"Hey, daughter of Athena…I told you my statue should be more macho, with lots of swords and guns blazing." He sneered at her.

"But Mom said that's already fine as it is." Annabeth reasoned, looking a bit intimidated.

"Bah! I don't like it." Ares said displeased.

Anger suddenly boiled inside me. Ares was a brainless buffoon who only cares fighting and destruction. He couldn't recognize a perfect work. Gods, I would really love to plunge Riptide inside his hollow skull. For a second, I thought that Kratos is going to possess me. Nobody shouts at my girlfriend like that.

"You don't know anything about a perfect work of art because you're brain is ant-size, Ares." I glared at him from the I-M.

"Well, well, well…if it isn't Seaweed Brain, Jr." he grinned at me evilly.

" Hows the wound, Ares? Must be giving you the jitters everytime you see me, huh?" I fought back.

"Ha, you wish, punk. One of these days, I'll be laughing at you for your incoming miseries."

"Really? OOOhh…I"mmm ssooo scared." I smiled at him wickedly.

"Percy, that's enough." Annabeth intervened.

"Better listen to your girlfriend, punk before I decide to smash you to bits." He said.

"Oh really? What are you waiting for?" I taunted him without hesistation.

"The right time…You just wait."

"So why not soon? You're just gonna hide behind Hera's skirt, are you? Go to mama. Coward."

Ares eyes suddenly turned red and it was like going to explode.

"If I were you, you would probably enjoy breathing every moment from now on because someday soon, I'll give you what you ask for. Get beefed up first punk before even thinking of beating me."

"Get prepared also and better not pee in your pants when that day comes.' I struck back at him.

Then Ares gave me a deathly stare and walked away.

"Percy, you couldn't just do that to the god of war." Annabeth looked at me.

"He's a jerk. He can't just say that to the things that you have so worked hard."

"It's fine, Percy. I guess I can't impress everyone."

"Don't mind what Ares said. Everything you design was flawless. First rate. You're doing great. And I know you made your Mom proud."

Annabeth smiled. "Thanks, Seaweed Brain. I guess Ares has a sick taste, huh?"

I laughed "You got it right."

Then, I suddenly thought..why did she IM'ed me anyway?

"Hey, Annabeth..it was nice of you to Iris-Message me. Missed me, eh?"

She quickly replied "In your dreams, Seaweed Brain."

We both smiled at each other.

"So um, you're free tomorrow?" I asked.

"In the afternoon."

"I'll meet you at the lobby of Empire State?"

"Sure Percy but what do we do tomorrow?."

I grinned like a naughty boy. "You'll see."

"Seaweed Brain, there you go again." she smiled.

Then, there was someone calling at Annabeth.

"Hey Percy, Gotta go. I'll IM you again tomorrow. I missed you"

"I missed you too, Annabeth."

She smiled and then the Iris-message faded.

Well, don't worry..I'll do a follow-up. I promise. I'll update ASAP. I forgot about the parody though..sorry..but I promise I will include it in the next chapter. Don't forget to review. ^_^
