Hey guys it's me. Umm well I read the reviews and I agree there should be some more action so there might just maybe *cough cough* be a little action *cough cough* and maybe later on even some lemons *cough cough*. But it might take a while because I seem to have quite the cough :)

Anyway here is chapter three. Enjoy! (Oh, and some of this chapter will be from Annabeth's point of view.)

Oh and I do not in any way shape or form own Percy Jackson and the Olympians… Unfortunately

The rest of the night passed uneventfully and as I headed back Cabin 3 I couldn't help but hope that things would get better. I got back to Cabin 3, showered up, and headed to bed. I fell asleep thinking of Annabeth.

I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to go. Chiron had mentioned the night before that one of our spies had reported a small band of enemy demigods and monsters was sent to Manhattan in the hopes of recruiting new demigods. Hopefully he sent me on the mission because I desperately needed to focus on other things

I showered and headed to the mess area. I offered the best egg and my best pieces of bacon to Poseidon and prayed for a good day. I sat down and I caught Annabeth staring at me. When she realized I saw her she quickly looked down at her food and blushed. I sat there bewildered and wondering how anyone could even remotely understand girls.

I finished my breakfast and Chiron called a meeting in the Big House. The head councilor for each cabin was there. Annabeth from Athena, Beckendorf from Hephaestus, Silena from Aphrodite, the Stoll brothers from Hermes cabin, Katie from Demeter, Michael from Apollo, Clarisse from Ares, myself from Poseidon and no one from Zeus, Artemis, or Hades. Grover also showed up for which I was thankful. Having him around always made me feel more relaxed and comfortable and just happier. Kind of like how I used to feel about Annabeth. Now when I was around her it was arguments or just forced awkward conversations. It really upset me that our friendship had come to that. Anyway we were all seated around the ping pong table and Chiron started the meeting.

"Hello everyone." He said. "As some of you know there is a recruiting party from the enemy somewhere in Manhattan. We need to locate them and take them out. We cannot afford for the enemy to gain anymore strength if we can help it. More information will be given to those going but I'd rather not give out too much information because even though I trust all of you we must be wary of enemy spies. It would not bode well for us if the enemy knew our plans. So do we have any volunteers?" He asked.

I raised my hand so fast that the momentum actually pulled me out of my chair drawing snickers from a few kids in the room.

"I'll go." I said.

Chiron looked quite relieved when I raised my hand.

"Thank you Percy. Now would anyone like to go with him?"

Annabeth's P.O.V

"I will," I said. Oh no what was I thinking. I can't go! Oh my gods how could I be so stupid, I thought. But I actually wanted to at the same time. The truth is that I've only been like this to him so I don't get more attached. I can't have another Luke. I know it's hurting him but I just can't. Yes you can I argued back with myself. You need him. Plus if you don't go how are you gonna keep your Seaweed Brain safe? I knew I had to go. Wait, did my conscious just call him my Seaweed Brain? Weird…

"Great, so it's settled. Percy and Annabeth will go. I wouldn't like to send more than two due to security issues. And I think we would all agree that Percy and Annabeth are quite the team." Chiron said.

"Okay everyone this meeting is adjourned. Percy, Annabeth, if I could please just keep you for one more moment that would be great." Chiron said.

So Percy and I waited until everyone left and heard Chiron's plan.

"You guys have no idea how much it means that you guys volunteered. I love all you campers don't get me wrong. But you two are the most trustworthy heroes I've ever met. I have complete confidence you will be able to take care of this. Now that aside, there are three demigods, and two dracaena. They are heading to a school called Lamphere Middle School (A/N. I don't know of a Lamphere Middle School in New York it's the name of a high school by me). You will leave bright and early tomorrow. Argus will take you to a hotel just down the street from this school. We need you to find the group and eliminate them at all costs. Devise a plan first though as you are outnumbered a bit. Now get to bed you have a big day. I will explain a little more and in greater detail tomorrow since I have seen it fit to accompany you on the way there."

Percy's P.O.V

Oh no. This can't be good. Chiron is coming with?? Well only for the ride there but that can't be good. This may not be as easy as it first sounded. Man, I thought, what are we up against?

And to make matters worse Annabeth was coming! This is the complete opposite of what I wanted. I wanted to take my mind off of her. Now she's going to be with me! Dam, man.

I was still lost in thought when I heard Annabeth's voice and I swear I jumped a foot in the air.

"Seaweed Brain!" she yelled.

"Woah! What!?" I said.

"Come on let's go!" she said.

I looked around and saw that Chiron was no longer in the room and I figured I had missed him leaving. I looked back at Annabeth standing in the doorway, and I lost myself in those deep gray eyes. I thought about the good old' times and wondered what happened.

I must have been looking at her funnily because she frowned and said "Uhmm Seaweed Brain, what are you looking at?"

I said something real intelligent like " Ummummah nothing."

I felt my face got hot and I turned away in embarrassment.

As she turned to leave I heard her mumble something but I couldn't quite hear it.

I left the Big House and walked back to my cabin. It had gotten late quickly and I was walking in the starlight. When I returned to Cabin Three I showered and went straight to bed. We would be waking up at the butt crack of dawn and I wanted to get as much rest as possible. Thank Poseidon that I didn't have any dreams that night. I had been getting lucky lately. Not dreaming about scary stuff like normally. Just regular dreams and it was quite the pleasant surprise. But it also made me weary that something must have been going on. Maybe someone didn't want me to have dreams. Someone who wouldn't want me finding out their plans…

I woke up the next morning and I was ridiculously tired. I showered and packed anything I thought I might need. I brought Riptide, some drachmas, nectar and ambrosia, some mortal cash, a few changes of clothes, deodorant, and a few other items.

I skipped breakfast and headed for the lake so I could enjoy a moment of peace before embarking on this journey.

When I arrived there I remembered exactly why I loved the water.. The orange sunlight on the horizon and the reflection on the water was simply breathtaking, and to top it all off there was Annabeth climbing onto the dock wearing a black and white polka dot bikini. Needless to say she looked stunning.

Annabeth's P.O.V

I climbed out of the water after a refreshing swim. I had come down to the lake to clear my mind. It was amazing how much I liked this lake being a daughter of Athena. Oh well, I must have gotten it from Percy. Speaking of Percy was that him staring at me? Oh my gods he was looking at me like I was Aphrodite herself! Before I knew it I was smiling. I waved at him and motioned him over. My smile soon turned into laughter when he tripped over a rock because he couldn't take his eyes off of me.

"Looks like there's a rock there Percy!" I yelled. "Maybe that's why I call you Seaweed Brain!"

He grinned mischievously and yelled back, " I'd watch your mouth Wise Girl were on my turf!"

I wondered what he meant by that but by the time I had realized it I was already under water.

Oooh he was gonna get it I thought as I climbed out of the water. There he was on the beach, on all fours laughing like a four year old. I missed this. I missed Percy and his antics so much. Everything about him drove me absolutely insane and I loved it. Ughhh! I thought. Why does everything have to be so difficult? I silently cursed and headed down the dock towards the beach. When I got about ten feet away Percy realized he should probably run. He turned and sprinted off, still laughing like a maniac. I got close enough to him and jumped on his back, taking him down. He grunted as he hit the ground. Then he quickly rolled over, leaving our faces inches away. A grin spread on his face. My heart leapt for joy and I felt myself slowly lean in.

"Ehemmm, I'm terribly if I ruined a moment here but Chiron is getting quite upset. Apparently he told you Peter and you Annabelle to be at the hill by six o' clock."

We turned to see Mr. D standing over us, smirking. We stumbled over each other in an attempt at getting up in a dignified manner. We were both blushing a deep shade of scarlet. We ran off without a word. I stopped to grab my things from Cabin Six, and then we hurried to the hill. There we met a very annoyed looking Chiron.

"Sorry," I said, " We got held up."

"It's alright child." He said. "Let's just be on our way now."

We piled into the van. Argus in the driver's seat, Chiron in shotty, and Percy and I in the back. As we left I couldn't help but wonder what was in store for us.

Hey guys. Thanks for the reviews! This is the last non action chapter. Next chapter will have plenty of action. Sorry the update took awhile I've had tons of homework and football and guitar lessons. Hopefully the next chapter will be up soon. Enjoy! :)
