I was really starting to freak out about Annabeth now. So many things were going through my head. Was she kidnapped? Is she hurt? Did she get lost?

I just kept on searching for her. I stayed near the beach by our picnic area so if she did come back I would be there. I called out her name a few more times. Then I heard a rustling in some of the trees nearby. I walked to where the noise was and called out, "Annabeth?"

More rustling in the bushes and out walked a girl wearing jeans and an orange camp T-shirt, with curly blonde hair, a huge smile, and the most beautiful sparkling grey eyes. It was her, my Annabeth.

"Percy. You are back already? Where is Blackjack?" She said while looking at me.

"Oh my gods Annabeth you're alright!" I said sounding so relieved. I ran up to her and gave her the biggest bear hug ever. She mumbled something like, "Can't breathe," but it sounded like, "Ant ethe." I finally let her go and gently kissed her lips. When it was over she looked at me with shocked eyes and a huge blush on her cheeks.

"Of course I'm alright Seaweed Brain. Why wouldn't I be? I just went to the bathroom. And now I'm back." She explained to me.

"Oh, I actually thought you got lost or kidnapped. Or worse I thought you decided to just leave me here." I said in a hurry.

"Percy I'm smart enough not to get lost and I seriously doubt that I would be kidnapped. And why would I leave you while we are on a perfectly great date right now." She said with a huge smile on her face.

I had a grin on my face as I said, "Yeah your right you are smart enough not to get lost. That must be why I call you my Wise Girl, and your right we are on a perfectly great date right now aren't we?" Annabeth playfully and lightly punched me on the shoulder as we walked back to our picnic area.

"So you did save the dolphin right?" Annabeth asked while we were laying there on the beach.

"Yeah...I did." I said not really wanting to talk about me saving the dolphin. I was still thinking about that weird tugging on my foot. It really felt like someone was holding on to my foot, like it wanted me to go down with it or something. I guess Annabeth noticed me concentrating on something.

"Percy is everything ok? You seem a little lost. Did something happen while you were in the water?"

She looked at me with a whole lot of concern. I couldn't hide anything from Annabeth. She scooted closer to me so now we were hip to hip, laying down, looking up at the sky. I finally looked at her and decided that it was probably best to tell her what happened.

"To be honest Annabeth I have no clue what happened. I was just swimming up towards the surface after I helped the dolphin, when all of a sudden something was tugging at my foot. It felt like someone was holding on to my foot and trying to bring me down with them, but when I looked down there was nothing there. I freaked out a little but now it's just bothering me. I don't know what it was or possibly who it was." I know I sounded a little crazy but I knew that if I told Annabeth she could help me. Annabeth looked at me with her grey eyes full of a lot of concern. And then she spoke,

"Percy I'm not really sure what to tell you, I mean it could've honestly just been a piece of kelp that snagged onto your leg. Don't worry too much about it, it was probably nothing. Let's just get back to our date okay?" I looked at her and an understanding passed between us and I finally said, "Okay."

Annabeth started to pull out food from the picnic basket. I'm guessing Annabeth somehow got my mom to pack the basket because every single piece of food was blue. I honestly still couldn't believe my mom was still keeping it up, but actually I really loved her for making the food blue especially since my favorite color is blue.

Annabeth and I started to dig in to the food as I popped open both are Cokes. Technically we're not supposed to have outside food at camp, but we didn't really care if we got in trouble. We were too busy enjoying ourselves. We just sat there and ate our blue food and drank our Cokes. We started talking about what our plans would be for the rest of the summer and what we do when it's time to go back to school. We didn't really care about going back to school. We were too worried about what to do for summer break. Both of us would obviously stay at camp for most of the summer, but we honestly wanted to explore the parts of New York that we haven't been to yet.

"We should go see The Statue of Liberty again." Annabeth suggested. "Annabeth we've already been there three times. You already know every single fact about it."

"Yeah that is true…" She sighed. I know she really wanted to do something but there wasn't much to do around Manhattan especially for Annabeth because she can be very specific.

"We will find something to do Annabeth don't worry too much." I grabbed her hand and she interlocked her fingers through mine. Then she looked at me with a huge grin on her face. Before I could ask her why she was looking at me funny, she opened her mouth and started to ask,

"Percy do you remember your first quest?" Now I was the one looking at her funny.

"Of course I remember my first quest. I was the one accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt. I still remember the prophecy as if I just got it yesterday."

"You shall go west, and face the god who has turned. You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned. You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend. And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end." I recited to Annabeth.

"You, Grover, and I all went west to California. We faced Ares who was the god who turned. You found the Master Bolt and the Helm of Darkness and you returned them safely. Then Luke was the one who betrayed you and told you that he stole the Master Bolt and the Helm of Darkness for Kronos. Then you failed saving your mother from the Underworld and you sort of failed to save Luke." Annabeth explained to me.

"First of all Wise Girl all of those things that happened required a team effort. I could've never done anything without you or Grover. With Luke even though I failed to save him then, he ended up doing the right thing for everyone on Olympus he saved us all he was a hero." I saw Annabeth start tearing up, so I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her towards me and let her lay on my chest.

She suddenly laughed and looked at me. "Remember when I acted like I hated you." I nodded. "Well that was all a charade. That's when I really started to like you. Of course I didn't let on. I knew that you started to like me to." She laughed and then looked at me and grazed her lips over mine.

I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer towards me. She put her arms around me while I returned her kiss. I really do love Annabeth and I know that we are going to have a great future together. I ended the kiss and she looked at me confused, but I simply grinned at her and said, "Who would've thought that we would actually be together. When I first met you I actually thought you were way out of my league."

She laughed at me and then stood up. She then held out her hand. I got up and grabbed it and we started to walk closer to the shore. We stood there and kissed, hands still intertwined.

I automatically knew that we would have a great summer doing anything. As long as we were together the summer would be perfect.
