Chapter 4

Percy POV

The next night, Annabeth and I went back to the moon pool. We sat on the edge, dangling our feet into the water. I had to admit, this was a pretty romantic spot. I kissed Annabeth. She leaned her head against my shoulder. I put my head on top of hers. "It's a full moon tonight, Annabeth." I said, looking into the sky.

"Yeah. I bet it's look amazing from the mouth of the volcano." Annabeth replied, sighing.

Emma POV

We were being extra careful tonight. It was the full moon, and we didn't want to get struck by moonlight. Instead of going over to one of our houses, we went over to Ricki's cafe, since Zane had promised to close a little earlier for us. Plus, nobody could get the house to themselves. And, we could have our boyfriends over, and they were going to help seal the place, too.

It took a while, but we finally got Ricki's completely sealed for the night. We got into our sleeping bags and put a movie on. It was Jaws, one of Ricki's favorite movies. The guys and Ricki had voted for it, so it was a majority, five to three. I had to admit, it was a pretty cool movie, although I swore I was never going to go near a great white shark while swimming. Cleo and Bella did the same. The movie was almost over when Zane's former friend, Nate, came in. Unfortunately, Bella and Cleo looked into the moon and became moonstruck.

Zane was yelling at Nate because he had told Nate to stay away, that they weren't friends anymore. Cleo and Bella raced out. I heard them dive into the water. Ricki and I braced ourselves and followed Cleo and Bella.

Percy POV

I was leaning in to give Annabeth another kiss when I saw a tail in the pool. I pulled back quickly. Annabeth had, too. We stood up and blushed as Bella, Cleo, Ricki, and Emma entered the moon pool. They looked up at us, giggling. "The water is nice." soothed Cleo. I looked at Annabeth. I knew that Cleo wasn't like that. What the Hades was going on?

"Yeah, Percy. Come in with us." Emma cooed. I backed up, grabbing Annabeth's hand.

"Annabeth, too. Come on, you'll like it!" Ricki squealed, totally out of character. Annabeth and I carefully walked over to them, being careful about where we were in relation to the girls.

"What's wrong with you guys?" I asked, worried about my cousin and her friends.

"Nothing!" Bella and Ricki giggled. They looked at each other mischievously and started to grab Annaeth's legs and pulled her into the moon pool. I made sure her head didn't hit the rocks. I jumped in afterwards to make sure my girlfriend was alright.

"Annabeth, are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine, Percy. But Emma, Ricki, Cleo, and Bella are creeping me out." Annabeth replied, treading water. Bella, Cleo, Emma, and Ricki looked up. I followed their gaze. The moon passed over the top of the volcano opening. Annabeth was right, it was stunning. Then I noticed the pool. It started to bubble. There were sparkly things in the air. I knit my eyebrows together and looked at Annabeth. She shrugged her shoulders. I was surprised. Annabeth knew pretty much everything about magic. The water stopped bubbling and I looked up. The moon had completely passed over us.

I made sure that Emma, Cleo, Bella, and Ricki were okay. Then, I made an air bubble for Annabeth and we sped back to the Gilbert's.

(LINE BREAK)

The next morning, Right after Annabeth and I woke up, Chiron IMed Annabeth and I.

"Chiron, what's going on?" Annabeth asked, concerned.

"Percy, your father's trident has been stolen." Chiron told me. I sagged my shoulders.

"Do you have any idea where the trident is?" I asked desperately, hoping that I could continue my vacation here. I liked it in Australia.

"We only know that it is underwater, Percy." Chiron tells me sympathetically, noticing that I didn't want to go on a quest during my break.

"And I assume that since I'm the only one who can breath underwater in camp, I have to find it and bring it back to my father." I sighed. It's not that I didn't want to help my dad, but I was really liking this vacation thing. I wished the thief had either stolen the trident two weeks before or after today.

"That is correct, Percy, although you must come to camp first and get a quest from Rachel." Chiron stated. Annabeth looked over at me sympathetically. Then she smirked.

"I'm surprised that you were right, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth exclaimed tauntingly. I nudged her, and she tried to nudge me back. "Ow!" She said, rubbing her side. I laughed at her forgetfulness.

"You are seriously not going to get used to that, are you Wise Girl?" I asked Annabeth, still chuckling.

"No, Seaweed Brain!" she yelled back at me. She turned to Chiron. "Chiron, Percy and I will come back to camp as soon as possible." Annabeth said, turning serious again.

"Good. I'm sorry that this happened, especially during your vacation. I will see you back at camp." Chiron waved his hand through the Iris Message and the connection faded. I packed my bag, and Annabeth packed hers. We went to go find my mother and tell her I had to go on a quest. She was out back, by the Gilbert's pool.

"Hey, mom." I approached. My mother looked at Annabeth and my bag's. She slumped and sighed.

"Camp stuff?" she asked, knowing that was exactly it.

"Yeah. Sorry, mom!"

"It's okay. Good luck. I love you, Percy." she said, smiling.

"I love you, too mom." I replied, hugging her. I turned to Annabeth. "Ready?" I asked.

"Ready." she replied. We headed towards the coast and found a remote spot so that we could dive into the water and nobody would see us. I held my and Annabeth's bags and jumped in. Annabeth walked in after me. I was about to immerse myself in the water completely when Annabeth called "Percy!". I turned around.

A/N MWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA! Evil laughs are so fun! ;p. Sorry about the cliffy, although I think it will be obvious as to what is going to happen. I'll update soon.
