Periods

Percy walked up the street to Annabeth's house. A few weeks in San Francisco was an awesome vacation idea. Percy, Paul and Sally were staying in a hotel that was close to Annabeth's house. So Percy walked to her house as he had been doing for the past two days. It was fun to spend the day with his girlfriend of two years as she showed him around the city. Today they were going to an indoor pool which was supposedly the best pool in San Francisco. Percy could not wait to go. He walked into the gate and up the drive way. Their car was not in the drive way. Their car wasn't there which meant that the Chase's were not home. Annabeth was home alone waiting on him. Percy rang the doorbell. No one answered. He rang again and waited. Three minutes later he heard footsteps slowly approaching the door. The door handle turned slowly revealing Mrs. Chase at the door. She smiled at Percy.

" Morning dear. I'm stepping out for the day and Frederick and the twins have already gone. And Annabeth is... ammmm... Well you'll see. I would help her but I'm running very late for my appointment. Bye!" she rushed out the whole monologue while jogging down the drive way and walking out the gate.

Percy stood confused. What was wrong with Annabeth? He walked in to the house closing the door behind him. He scanned the floor before realizing that Annabeth was upstairs.

"Annabeth!" he called from outside her room.

" Don't come in! Uh... I mean..." she sighed, " You can open the door."

Percy peaked inside the room before walking in.

" Are you okay? What's wrong Annie?"

She was sitting on the bed with a look on her face. Percy new that look. It was the 'how can I be so stupid' look. She was still in her pajamas and her hair was in a mess. She didn't look at all ready for the pool.

" I can't go to the pool to day." After seeing the look on Percy's face she tried to correct her statement. " It's not that in don't want to but..." she looked at him helplessly. Percy moved closer to her. Sne looked like she didn't quite know how to say what she wanted to say. Percy looked around the room seeing Nothing unusual except- oh. That was it. Percy eyes flicked from the bed to Annabeth.

" You have your period," he said

She nodded, a slight blush dusting her face. Percy looked at her a laughed. Annabeth glared at him in disbelief. He was laughing at her?

" Why are laughing?" she asked looking slightly pissed off. Percy stopped laughing and looked at her.

" Sorry Annie. I thought it was something serious. Like really serious. I mean I thought it was life and death serious. It was a relief to find out it was just your period."

" Oh," Annabeth said feeling embarrassed.

Percy smiled at her, " We will go to the pool another day."

Annabeth smiled at Percy. He was so understanding and not at all grossed out. But still...

"I ran out of tampons," she said, " and I won't be able to do anything while I'm bleeding all over the place. "

" Oh," Percy muttered understanding the situation.

" would you like me to buy some for you?"

Annabeth looked shocked.

" You'll do that for me?"

"Of course Annie. "

She jumped and hugged him.

" thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Annabeth almost screamed at him. Percy chuckled, " You're welcome."

Percy glanced at the huge chocolate bars on the shelf. Dark chocolate, light chocolate, mint chocolate, nuts and raisins. Where was the mint chocolate? Oh, there it was. Percy picked up a bar of Annabeth's favorite chocolate and added it to the basket. He walked to the empty checkout line to cash the items. The woman behind the cash register smiled at him

" I saw you over there carefully checking out the tampons."

Percy looked up from his phone, " Well I was given strict instructions on what to buy."

The lady smiled, " Who is it for?"

" My girlfriend."

" Well your girlfriend is very lucky. Not many boyfriends would got out and buy tampons for there girlfriend."

" Here you go milady. The brave knight has come back victorious from his hunt. Now he bears the spoils of war."

Annabeth laughed at Percy's ridiculous antics. She took the tampons out of his hands.

" I've also bear treasure... In the form of chocolate!" Annabeth grinned and pulled Percy into a hug. She really loved this guy.

" Annabeth, honey, is everything alright?"

Annabeth parents walked through the door expecting to see her in the same bad mood as she was in the morning. Instead she was sitting on Percy's lap, playing video games and eating popcorn.

" Yea dad, everything's fine."
