YO! Thanks for the reviews! I DON'T OWN PJO so stop asking!
(Percy POV)
I awoke to the smell of saltwater. "Morning Seaweed Brain," Annabeth was looking at me with a smile.
"Morning," I groaned still half asleep.
Annabeth giggled a little bit. "You still drool a little when you sleep." She pointed out.
I stood up. I rubbed my eyes. I still felt tired. I walked up onto the deck Annabeth followed.
I stood at the front of the ship watching for any signs of land.
"Where are we?" I jumped a little. Annabeth had snuck up behind me.
"We should reach Florida soon," I said calmly pretending I wasn't just scared.
"So," she said walking up next to me.
"So, what?" I said in a playful manner.
"So what do you want to do when we get back to camp?" she said it like it was obvious.
"Don't know," I said with the same playful tone.
"What do you think they'll do?" Her voice was now deadly serious.
"I'll handle it," I said with a confidant smile looking her in the eyes.
"Thanks" she said blushing.
"Aww, look at the happy couple, " Clarrise had walked up behind us.
We both blushed. I looked Ahead.
"Looks like we're here," I said with a kind smile.
Up ahead there was a small grouping of rocks. On it was a tall woman dressed in a silver dress. I took a closer look the woman had honey blond hair and cold stormy gray eyes. In her hand she held a long bronze spear.
"Everyone bellow deck now!" I ordered. Annabeth looked at me with concern. "Wait, let me stay," she said it with a concerned tone that she only used when she thought I might die. How did I get used to that tone?
"No go bellow deck, this might get…. Messy." I said now it was my turn to act concerned.
(Annabeth POV)
I looked Percy in the eyes as usual he was about to get himself killed. His sea green eyes were darkened with concern. I leaned forward and kissed him with a passion that I didn't know existed in me.
" Good luck." I said and walked bellow deck.
(Percy POV)
If this was going to get messy there was no way I was going to let Annabeth get hurt.
As the ship approached the rocks I could tell it was Athena. I could also tell she was really furious.
"YOU!" she bellowed.
"Hi," I said in a nonchalant attitude.
Athena jumped onto the ship. Her stare blackened my hope. It was a look of pure hate.
"HOW DARE YOU?!" her voice was like I don't know what. I couldn't tell if it was a rhetorical question.
"ANSWER ME!" Okay not a rhetorical question.
"How dare I what?" I asked sheepishly.
"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY DAUGHTER!" Athena's voice was harsher than ever.
"Do what?" I asked in protest.
"TELL HER YOU LOVE HER!" Athena was getting angrier by the second.
I looked strait ahead with a smile. I looked into the goddess's stormy eyes and said what I meant. "Because, I do."
Her eyes softened for a moment then they became even more enraged. She brandished her spear. "Prepare to die young hero!" She bellowed at the top of her lungs. She lunged forward. I ducked and uncapped Riptide. I was now in a duel to the death with my girlfriend's immortal mom. Wow I hope I never have to say that again.
She charged again. I batted away her spear. Now it was my turn to lunge. I swung riptide forward. At this point most people would be defeated but as you can guess a goddess isn't an ordinary person. She jumped backwards onto one of the rocks that stuck out of the water.
For the goddess of wisdom this was not a wise move. Water is my domain. I too jumped onto one of the rocks. I swung Riptide over the water. It seemed like a useless gesture but it was followed by a wave in the shape of a blade that shot directly at the defenseless Athena. It hit her chest with a mighty blow.
She staggered back and nearly fell into the water. This was my chance. I willed the water to form a wave to nock her into the water. Sure enough a wave appeared and pushed the goddess off of the rock. Now she was at my mercy.
(Athena POV)
That little brat was more powerful then I had anticipated. I should have waited until he was on land. That was a stupid move. She struggled back onto the rock. When she was back on it she saw Percy standing on another rock several feet away.
With a burst of rage she charged forward. Hitting Percy hard in the chest with the shaft of her spear. Percy fell to the ground. Athena stood over him with the head of the spear hovering a millimeter away from his neck.
"Tell me why," she choked out holding back tears. "Tell me why you love her."
(Percy POV)
I was in shock. The goddess of wisdom wanted to know something from me.
I smiled. "First of all she doesn't hold spears to my throat and threaten my life."
Apparently Athena wasn't amused. She broke down crying.
(Annabeth POV)
After the sounds died down I came above deck. I walked over to the railing to look for Percy. He was lying on a rock. Athena was hovering above him with a spear at his neck. "Tell me why,"he was choking back tears "Tell me why you love her." Athena was asking Percy why he loved me.
"First of all she doesn't hold spears to my throat and threaten my life." Percy spoke with a small smile. I thought it was a little funny but apparently Athena didn't think it was. She collapsed and started crying.
The first thought that entered my mind was that my mom was defeated then I realized she did this because she couldn't take it any more.
(Percy POV)
The goddess of wisdom had just collapsed beside him. As tears flowed town her face she looked vulnerable even…human.
"Its okay "I said in a calming manner. "Everything is going to be all right."
Athena looked up at me with tears still swelling in her eyes. Then she did something I would never would have expected.
(Athena POV)
I don't know why I just felt like it was right. I had the urge to…
(Percy POV)
Athena moved closer to me. Then she kissed me with same passion Annabeth had.
I looked at Athena she reminded me so much of Annabeth. Her honey blond hair and her stormy gray eyes.
(Annabeth POV)
WHAT!! WHAT DID SHE JUST DO! I was angrier than I had ever been in my life. My…mother…had just kissed my boyfriend.
