Sorry! This is shorter than the others previously, but it was all that went through my mind - so live with it!
This was based on The Lightning Thief, page 206 - 211 :) If you look it up, I'm sure you'll understand! Hope you like the chapter!

"Wuht is tah tihm?" My speech was garbled – hey, it was early!
"It's 8am, Percy." Annabeth laughs, poking me in the side. "A new record for you!"
"Shut up… I'm going back to sleep, turn the light off."
"No. You're getting up today, Percy. We are going back to Denver. You are going up that Arch, and you are not going to blow holes in it this time!" She demands. Damn, I'd been trying to get out of this Denver trip for ages!
She wanted to go back to that stupid Arch, where I'd fought the Chimera – who was disguised as a Chihuahua. She said that it was, 'My first big achievement. Other than the Minotaur, obviously.'
"But Annabeth…" I whined, I was really comfy in bed.
"No buts! We're going, and that's that!" I didn't really have to listen to her… But I usually did anyway. It's a Percabeth thing.
"Fine." I sigh, and drag myself out of bed. She says something about being lazy and fighting monsters, before trudging out of the room.
I head over to the dresser, and pull out some dark jeans, and a blue plaid shirt. After dressing, I switch the main light off, and shut the bedroom door. Immediately, I smell bacon and eggs, and race into our shared kitchen.
"Food! Food! Food!" I chant, bashing my knife and fork against the table, like a small child.
"Oh, shut up, Seaweed Brain. Your food's just coming." She says, filling her plate, before handing me the tray.
"Uh, you didn't give me a plate…" I was confused, and sent her a look that said it clearly.
"You need a plate? I expected you to just eat off the tray."
"Very funny…" I mutter, getting up to grab a plate. After piling up the food, I eat it quicker than Annabeth can finish hers – which is half as much.
"You're such a pig…" She says, smiling.
"I know, but you love me anyway!"
"Keep telling yourself that." She murmurs, laughing.
*I'm just an innocent line break*
"It's better than last time - and look, they've taken your idea and put in a glass floor!" I joke, and look down.
"Very funny… but true. I did say they should have made a glass floor up here!" Annabeth states, very proud that something she said had actually happened.
We were up the Arch in Denver, and it was much better this time. No animals aloud… *Sigh*
"Annabeth?"
"Mhmm?" She replies, slightly in her dream world.
"Come here." I motion for her to come closer. I grab her around the waist, and pull her onto the railing, to stand with me.
"Put me down!" She shouts, terrified.
"Ok…" I say, and step off the edge, her in tow. She's screaming the whole way down, and when we finally hit the water, she just shuts up. I knew she'd find it cool. The water doesn't hurt – I make it not hurt.
"That was so cool." She shouts, and realizes she can't breathe like I can. Floating to the top, she repeats herself.
"That was cool!"
"Yeah, yeah, it's not so fun when you're on fire and have just been told you're the son of the Poisiden." I say, and laugh a little, remembering the memory.
"Whatever." She says, and gives me a kiss. I pull her in tighter, wrapping my arms around her waist, while hers go around my neck.
"Come on. It's home time!" She says, and I pout a little. "Shut up, Seaweed Brain, your head is full of kelp."
"Is not! I'm just as smart as you!" I say, defensively. She raises her eyebrows. "Ok… I could be just as smart as you."
"That's better." She mutters, and pulls me into another kiss.
Drop a review, tell me what you think! I am going to at least post 100 of these little stories, so I'm sorry if some of them aren't what you like to read. They are usually just what I think when I read a certain chapter/section in a book - hence this chapter! Page 206 - 211 in The Lightning Thief for you lazy people who only read ending a/n :P
Once again, I hope you liked the chapter, and be sure to pop a review in the box belooow!
