D: I am also really happy because my cheerleading team won my cheerleading competition and our boys for the football team are going to the super bowl! Also if you are a hunger games fan...the trailer came out!i swear i can stop watching it. It is amazing! Remeber to R&R. I hope you like this chapter. Percabeth...here we come!

Percy's POV

"Mom, Dad….we need to get Rachel out of this castle!" I nearly shouted at my parents, which probably wasn't a good idea since they are the king and queen. I know they are still my parents, but when your parents rule the country you have to show some respect.

Also dad is a god. So I was probably in mega trouble.

"Percy. I thought you liked Rachel in the castle?" apparently my mom wasn't all that mad, but my dad kinda look steamed. He got up and left the room probably because he wanted to prevent himself for blasting me into bits.

"Where have you been?" I asked my mom.

"Percy, listen. I never actually told you the reason why she stays with us."

"Then why?" I asked.

"Well, your father and I think that when you become king…..you will have a decent girl to st—"

"You want me to marry her!" I shouted.

"Yes we do... and why do you want her to leave?" she asked. Her face was swimming with curiosity.

"Well first of all, I never liked her. I've always hated her. And second of all, she is really bothering Annabeth. I want her out of here!" I shouted.

"You really care about Annabeth, don't you?" she asked.

"More than you will ever know." I said.

"Well, Percy. You need to give me another reason why we need to kick her out. If it only helps two people, then that is not enough. Everyone here loves Rachel."

"Once again…..where have you been? Everyone here thinks she is the most annoying person in the world. Thalia really wants to kill her after what she did to her shield, and Nico really wants to have his dad kill Rachel, because she talked bad about Bianca. The whole staff actually thinks she is a nut case too." (A/N: Thalia and Nico are gunna come soon guys!)

Thalia is the daughter of Zeus, and also is my cousin who helps me with my sword fighting. We were both really good in battle, so we practiced all of the time. Thalia had this horrifying shield that had the head of medusa on it. Whenever she brought it out, you actually felt like you were in her presence, which is actually a really, really scary thing. Rachel of course just had to see it. The shield didn't scare her. She is not a demigod like me. I don't even think she knows who medusa is….which is really sad. So Rachel found out a way how to dent Thalia's shield. Thalia wanted to blast her into pieces, and still does.

Nico is my other cousin who is the son of Hades, and used to stay with us from time to time, but now uses the castle as a permanent home. He brings the dead back to help us get useful information about other people. Rachel said that his sister Bianca was an ugly, stupid girl. Bianca joined the hunters of Artemis. As you know, the hunters can't date. Rachel thought that was about the stupidest thing in the world. She said that maybe Bianca was just too ugly to get dates. And that send Nico on edge. One reason why he is so sensitive about the while Bianca thing is that she died in battle.

"Percy…..if that is true…..then I will have a little chat with Rachel, and tell her it is time to leave. If she makes everyone annoyed, than she obviously needs to leave."

A huge smile came across my face. I ran over to hug my mom.

"Thank you sooo much!" I said. Then I ran out to go tell Annabeth the news. She is gunna be so happy!

Annabeth's POV

"Wait…what?" Percy just told me the most amazing news in the world! Rachel is leaving! She is gunna go.

"Ya." Percy said with a huge grin on his face. "My mom is talking to her as we speak."

I was so happy. I ran up and gave Percy a huge hug. He picked me up from my waist and started to spin me around. I started to laugh.

"Put me down!" I said between laughs. Percy set me down smiling at me.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" he asked.

Here come those sparks again. "Ya. Once or twice." I said.

"No. I mean….I actually love you Annabeth. Like, more than a friend." He said.

WHAT! Did he just say that he loves me more than a friend? He actually loves me!

"What?" I said in a quiet voice.

"Annabeth…I love you more than any other person in the world."

A smile started to form on my face. I walked up to Percy and crushed my lips against his. He picked me up around my waist and started to spin me around again. We were both smiling and laughing into the kiss. When we separated, we still had our foreheads touching.

"I love you too, Percy." I said.

He smiled and kissed me one last time.

"So…what does that make us?" I asked.

"Well. You can call me Percy. Your best friend, who you happen have a crush on. But I would prefer you called me Percy, the guy who is your boyfriend, and also the guy who you happen to love." He said, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Ok. And you can call me Annabeth, your girlfriend who you happen to love." I said.

"Oh…So you won't give me another option like I gave you?" He teased.
"Nope." I smiled.

"Well good. Because I wouldn't have wanted it any other way." He said leaning in to kiss me.

I wrapped my arms and his neck, and pulled him closer to me. When we kissed it sent sparks all around us. It was the best feeling in the world. Prince Percy Jackson is my boyfriend. Me. Annabeth Chase. The girl who was homeless until Percy found me. I was a homeless little peasant. Now I am the girlfriend of the Prince, and live in the castle. Who would've guessed?

"Well, when us Rachel gunna leave?" I asked when we pulled away.

"I don't know. Let's go ask my mom. It should be very soon though." He said.

"Okay." I said smiling. Percy smiled back and kissed my cheek. I blushed.

"You are so cute." He told me smiling.

"You're not too bad yourself." I joked.

Percy rolled his eyes. "Wow. Way to make me feel like a loser." I smiled and kissed his cheek. He smiled back and took my hand and dragged me around the castle. We came into a dining hall, and Rachel was just leaving. She had a smile on her face. Uh-oh. This can't be good. When Rachel walked out of the room she bumped into my shoulder. She snickered and winked at Percy.

Percy rolled his eyes and put his arm around my shoulder.

"Mom…why does she look so happy?" Percy asked.

"Well, I told her that she needed to leave. She told me that she would. But Percy I..." The queen glanced down at Percy's arm around me. "Can we talk over here?"
"Uh…sure." He said. Percy walked over to his mom.

She bend down over to him, and whispered something. Percy's eyes got wide.

"What?" He screamed. "No mom! I can't!" Then he walked over to me. "I am with Annabeth now. I can't do that."

The queen sighed. "Percy…I….I know you are happy with Annabeth….but this is for the good of the kingdom. I'm sorry but you have too. Rachel is gunna leave soon. But she will be back." The queen said.

Percy sighed very dramatically, took my hand, and dragged me out of the dining hall.

We walked all the way back to his room. He let go of my hand and lay on the bed. I frowned and walked over to him.

"Are you okay?" I asked. I got a shack of the head to answer me.

"Well…what's wrong?" I asked.

Percy sat up and turned to me. "You I love you right?" he asked.

"Ya….why?" I asked.

My…..my mom is making me marry Rachel." He said.

"W-wha-what?" I asked.

"You heard me." he said. We were silent for a long time after that. "Why?" I asked.

"She said it will be good for the kingdom if we had a queen who has stayed in the castle for a longer time, which makes no sense to me."

"Oh." I said.

He looked at me and half-smiled. "You know I am not actually gunna go through with this right?"

"Now I do."I said.

He came over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Let's go somewhere. Shall we?"

"Where?" I asked.

"I bet my dad can make the ocean really nice."

"Okay, let's go." I smiled and grabbed his hand. He smiled back and kissed my cheek.

We went through the maze of the castle and came to a place that had glass doors everywhere. Outside the glass was the sparkling ocean in the light of the sun.

"This is gorgeous." I said.

"Yes, you are." He responded. I looked down and blushed. Percy put his hand under my chin and lifted my head up so I was looking into his beautiful sea green eyes.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you more." I whispered back. He rolled his eyes.

"That is highly impossible." And he pulled me into a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and my fingers tangled into his hair. He pulled me close to him from around my waist.

"Awww. I didn't know you could be so sweet, Perce." I heard a voice come in from behind me.

Percy pulled away from me and grinned at whoever was behind me.

"Hey, Thals." He said. I turned around to see a girl who was athletic looking. She had short black hair, and somewhere between punk and Goth clothes. She had a bow slung over her shoulder.

"What are you doing here?" Percy asked.

"Well, I was out shooting some arrows, and then I saw you two embracing each other." She turned toward me, and stuck out her hand with a smile on her face. "Hi. I'm Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus."

I smiled back and shook her hand. "Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena."

"So are you and Percy like….together?" She asked.

"No, Thals. We were only out here kissing for no apparent reason." Percy said sarcastically.

"Sorry, but you know. Things do happen. I know a ton of girls who could easily trick you into making you kiss them."

I laughed. "Ya. He is such a seaweed brain." Annabeth said.

Thalia smiled. "Seaweed brain. I'll have to remember that. I like it."

Percy put his lips to my ear. "Good job, Wise girl." He said.

I laughed. "So does Rachel know about this?" She made a face when she said Rachel.

I think I liked this girl. "Um….She knows that we love each other and everythi—."

"You guys love each other?" She shrieked.

"Ya." We both said.

"Awww!" She exclaimed.

"Wow. Thalia. I did not know you were like this. You are turning into Selena."

"I am not!" She said.

"Um…who's Selena?" I asked.

"She is one of our friends. She is the daughter of Aphrodite." Thalia said.

I nodded. Gods. I really needed to start getting to know people around here.

"Well, anyways. Sorry to ruin your little moment. I better go find Nico. Mrs. O'Leary is getting kinda feisty. Bye Perce. Oh and bye Annabeth. It was really nice meeting you." She said while giving me a hug.

"Bye Thaila." We both said. As Thalia left I turned to Percy.

"Ok. So who is Nico, and Mrs. O'Leary?" I asked.

Percy laughed. "Dang, babe. You really gotta get to know these people." He said.

"That's just what I was thinking." I said.

"Nico is my cousin. He is the son of Hades. He kind of helps out with wars and everything. Like when we need information, but it is only known by people who died, he would use his Hades powers and we can talk to those people." Percy explained.

"Oh. That's cool." I said.

"Ya. And Mrs. O'Leary is a hellhound." He said.

"A hellhound?" I asked.

"Ya. I found her a long time ago. She is harmless. So just a warning, if you see a huge dog that is bigger than a tank, don't kill it. It will crush Nico."

"How will I attack it? I am not trained to fight."

"Well you are a demigod so you should be. Thalia and I will help you. We are the best sword fighters in the kingdom."

"That's cool."

"Ya. So do you wanna go talk a walk on the beach or something?" He asked.

"Of course I do!" I said. He grinned. "Well then. Let's go." he said.

We went out one of the doors and walked out to the beach. It was absolutely perfect. Percy dragged me to a place that he said he knew pretty well.

He told me to sit down. He went behind me and it sounded like he was getting something. When I heard him come back, I looked up at him. He had two swords in his hand. "Come on. Let's get started." He said.

"Wait. With sword fighting? Right now? With you?" I asked.

"Ya." He said smiling.

"I am not gunna fight my boyfriend." I said.

He smiled at me. "Okay. First of all, I can't tell you how amazing that just sounded, and second of all, yes you are. Come on." He said.

"Nope." I said.

"What are you? Chicken?" He asked. Then he started to make chicken noises, and made wings.

I rolled my eyes. "Okay first of all, you are pathetic, and I really wish that I had a camera. And second, you really don't wanna go here."

"Yes I do." He said. And he continued making the chicken noises.

"You are such a seaweed brain." I said. I got up and took a sword from him.

"Now if you feel like you to need to stop at any poi—." I took the sword and did some fancy work with it so I tripped him. I was on top of him with my sword at his nose. He had a priceless look on his face.

"Wha-how did you do that? I thought you didn't know how to fight?" He said.

"I said I wasn't trained to kill monsters. That doesn't mean I don't know how to swing a sword." I said.

He laughed. "Wise girl." He said under his breath.

"Okay fine. It looks like this is over." He said pointing to the swords.

"Ya." I said. He came over to me and kissed my cheek. He grabbed my hands and made me sit down. Then he went behind me to get something else.

"Promise that you are not gunna make me fight you again?" I asked.

"Promise." I heard him chuckle. "Oh, and I didn't make you." He said.

"You kinda did." I said.

"Did not." He said.

"Did."

"Didn't."

"Did."

Then I felt something warm go around my shoulders. I felt lips at my ears and someone whispered.

"I didn't and you know it." Percy said.

"Whatever seaweed brain." He came around next to me and sat down. He put his arm around my shoulder and I leaned into him.

It was absolutely perfect.

"I love you Annabeth." He said.

"I love you too, Percy." I said smiling. Then he kissed me on my forehead.
