Thanks for the reviewing guys, I really appreciate it. The questions were very good questions and I am using one that was submitted at the end of the chapter. Keep sending in questions and I will keep using them. Thanks.

It's been a long time since I've updated TB3, hasn't it? It's been, what, three weeks now? Good golly gosh, I'd better update then.

Enough of my talking. Here's Chapter Four of The Big Three.

Chapter Four:

Percy POV

Beginning of October, Goode High Junior Hallway, 7:45 am

I was walking with Thalia one morning in early October when we noticed a flyer on the wall. It read, 'Battle of the Bands: Goode High Edition.' Underneath were seven or eight lines with names listed. I turned to Thalia.

"Why didn't we hear of this?" I asked her.

"Because no one likes you, that's why." Thalia and I turned around. What we found were four seniors. In the Junior wing of the school.

"What do you want Luke?" I asked. He was about to answer when a girl yelled his name. She ran over and gave him a hug. It took me a second, but I realized it was Annabeth. What was she doing with seniors? Especially these seniors.

"Hey Annabeth," he said. He put his arm around her shoulder and turned back to me. "I already told you punk. No one likes you."

"That made no sense whatsoever." I locked eyes with Annabeth for a second. She seemed confused.

"Whatever. People might think you are good with a guitar, but you don't know anything."

"Really?" I asked, a smirk on my face. "And you do?"

One of his friends tried to come at me. Luke held him back and smirked at me. By this time a small crowd had gathered. I didn't want to get caught up in anything, so I looked at Thalia and we started to walk off.

"To answer your question, you don't know anything about making a band. You may have a Ferrari, but that doesn't mean anything punk. It just means you're an egotistical little prick."

I turned back around. Thalia gave me a warning look.

"Oh, and what does this have to do with making a band again?" I returned.

"You could never keep a band together. People would shun you the second you made it." I had to force myself to not laugh. "And even if you could, you would never be as good as us."

I looked at him. "And who's in your band that makes you so good?"

"It's me, Ethan, Chris and Doug. We're The Lords of Time."

I nodded when he said Chris' name. I had respect for him, but the other three were just douchebags. And their name? Wow, I had to restrain myself even more to stop from laughing.

I didn't even answer him. I just walked away. Thalia followed me. Luke kept saying things, something about winning the Battle of the Bands, but I didn't really care. I was mostly worried about laughing my ass off. Thalia and I went our separate ways and I sat down next to Abby in homeroom, still laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" She asked me. I explained to her Luke's attempted folly at me. "Wow, what a douche."

"Yeah I know. If only he knew." We shared a laugh.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. So, do you want to go?"

"Go to what?"

"The Battle of the Bands thing."

I stopped laughing. "Why?" I asked.

"To laugh at him. Duh." We laughed again.

"Ok, I'm all for that."

A week later, the four of us were sitting in the third row of the auditorium waiting for Luke's band to come onto the stage. Surprisingly, it was pretty packed. I didn't expect that many people to come out to this. Finally, Luke's band came out to set up their instruments.

"Up next," the announcer said, "is The Lords of Time, which consists of seniors Luke Castellan, Ethan Nakamura, Chris Rodriguez and Doug Smeltzer. They will be the last band to play this evening." Applause rang out from the listeners. None of the four of us were included in that.

All of a sudden, someone slipped into the seat next to me breathing heavy.

"Did I miss them?" It was Annabeth.

"Miss who?" I asked her.

"Luke and the guys. I told them I would come watch them play." I rolled my eyes and answered her sincerely.

"No, they play next."

"Oh, good."

They finally got everything set up and started to play.

To be honest, they weren't that bad. Of course we were better, but they weren't a bad band.

Well, that is until they tried to play one of our songs.

"Thank you, thank you," Luke said. They had just finished up a song. "Ok, now we have one last song for you guys tonight, and it's a cover of a pretty popular song. I think you guys should recognize it." He turned back to Chris, who was on drums, and nodded.

Less than three seconds into the song, the four of us looked at each other. We had all recognized it. They were playing Fight, our second-most popular song.

When they got to the chorus, I couldn't help myself. I started cracking up. I fell back into my seat. Luckily, everyone was standing, so Luke wasn't able to see me laughing.

Annabeth did though since she was sitting right next to me.

"Why are you laughing?" She asked me. I quickly shut up. I had forgotten she was there.

"I'm sorry, it's just that this song is so much better when it's played by the people who actually wrote it."

"Yeah, I agree with you, but it isn't bad. Why are you laughing at them though?"

"I don't know," I said, trying to keep an honest look on my face. "It's just-I don't know."

"It's just what?" She asked. Jeez, why was she all over me on this?

Luckily, Luke finally ended the song, and applause rang throughout the auditorium. Annabeth gave me a glare and proceeded to clap for Luke. I gave him a half-hearted attempt at clapping. Nico, Abby and Thalia looked over at me, surprised. I gave a not-so-subtle movement towards Annabeth and they clapped too.

After the winning trophy had been given to Luke, we were able to finally get out of the auditorium and back to our car where the four of us cracked up the entire way home.

"Oh my gods, I can't believe that they played one of our songs. If only he knew!" Thalia said. She looked drunk walking because she was laughing so hard. The rest of us weren't much better.

"Ok, can you guys play that song for real?" Abby asked as we walked through the front door. "I don't think I can sleep with that in my head."

The rest of us agreed and we headed to our sound booth, where we proceeded to play Fight three times perfect to get Luke's song out of our head.

If only he knew what he was getting himself into.

It was three days after the Battle of the Bands and a Friday. The day before, Annabeth and I had agreed to work on our English project that weekend. We had gotten A Mid-Morning Nightmare as our topic. We were going to start it Friday afternoon, and then I would come back to her house Saturday where we would work on it some more. I had made sure that we would work at her house. Bringing her to my house would just give away my identity.

So Friday we took our two Ferraris to school. I told Annabeth I would take her home, so she just got a ride with a friend to school. The day passed quickly and before I knew it Annabeth and I were heading out the door.

"So, you ready for this project?" I asked her. In response, she pulled out a folder from her backpack. It read 'English Project.' When she opened it, papers filled the pockets.

"Well, I was doing a little research-" She started.

"Jeez, Annabeth," I said. "I now know what you've been doing the past three weeks."

"What? I only researched last night."

"And you came up with all those papers?" I asked.

"Yeah," she replied. "Hey, it's a big project, so I'm going to do as much research as I can. What did you do?"

"Uh, I just read the play. That's about it."

"Oh my gods Percy. You're so hopeless."

"Hey!" I said. "You should be glad I did that much."

Annabeth gave me a look, but didn't say anything.

We made our way out to my car and we hopped in. Annabeth directed me to her house and within fifteen minutes we were hanging out in her living room.

"Ok, so what do we all need again?" Annabeth asked me.

"Uh, a poster, an essay and a presentation," I remembered.

"Ok. Which one do you want to start with first?"

"Uh, I have no idea."

Annabeth sighed. "Percy, you need to do something with this project. I'm not doing all of the work, so just pick one."

"Ok, fine," I replied. "Uh, the poster."

"No, we should start with the essay. Then we can just use that to do the poster and the presentation later." Annabeth turned towards her computer and powered it up.

I raised my hands in the air as if to say, 'Well, then why didn't you just say that?' Luckily Annabeth didn't see the motion.

"Hey, I'll be right back. I'm getting my laptop from my room." Annabeth walked out of the room. She returned a couple of minutes later, holding one of the sleekest laptops I have ever seen.

I looked away and then did a double take.

"Whoa, is that the new Macbook?" I asked her.

"Yeah."

"How do you have that? It hasn't even come out yet." I would know, since I have one myself.

"My mom somehow got it for me."

"Oh, that's pretty cool."

"Thanks," Annabeth said. "Let's get started."

With that we started to work. Two hours later, a crash came from the doorway. I turned and was about to go see what it was when Annabeth spoke.

"Don't worry," she said. "It's probably just my brothers getting home."

"Oh, ok." I turned back around to work. A couple minutes later, two kids ran into the room. They spoke simultaneously.

"Annabeth! We're ho-" They stopped short. I turned around to look at the two brothers and found that they were looking straight at me. Smiles started to form on their faces. They looked at each other and then, as if they had rehearsed it, turned back towards me. "Annie's got a boyfriend!"

Annabeth whipped around from the computer and looked at them. Then she seemed to remember that I was in the same room. Her face turned a deep shade of red.

Normally I would say I was pretty smooth, but normally I wasn't dealing with little kids. They are so unpredictable.

"Uh, we're not dating," I said eventually. And then, when I thought it couldn't get any more awkward, Annabeth's dad walked into the room.

"What's going on here?" He asked. Then he noticed me sitting quite close to his daughter. We had been comparing notes just a few moments ago, so I was a little closer to her than I normally would have been. "Oh, hello," Mr. Chase continued, "And you are?"

I quickly regained my composure. Adults were more my speed. I quickly stood up and extended my hand towards Annabeth's dad.

"Percy Jackson," I said. "We're working on a project together."

"Oh, ok," he replied, shaking my hand.

"No dad, we're not dating," Annabeth put in immediately.

Mr. Chase looked at me and then back at Annabeth. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then decided against it.

"Oh, ok," he eventually said again. "Have fun you two. Come on Bobby and Matthew. Let's leave these two alone." The three guys left the room. Annabeth and I got back to work, although a little more awkwardly than before. I sat a little bit farther from Annabeth.

Soon, however, I had to call it a night. My mom wanted me back by 7 and I was planning on heading out to the movies with the guys that night, so Annabeth and I decided to finish the project tomorrow. We settled for 1 pm the next day and I gathered my books and headed out to my car to drive home.

Annabeth POV

Middle of October, Annabeth's House, 7:12 pm

Percy had left around thirty minutes ago and now the five of us were sitting down for dinner. Dinner was a little late that night, since Percy and I were busy doing our project. My brothers kept stealing glances at me, and I returned a glare every time I caught them. I knew they wouldn't let go the fact that I had a guy over for a couple of weeks. Eventually I couldn't contain myself.

"Will you two stop looking at me?"

"So he is your boyfriend," Bobby said.

"Boyfriend?" My step-mother inquired. "What boyfriend?"

"He's not my boyfriend." My step-mother had missed Percy by only a couple of minutes, thank the gods. I didn't want another person on the case the Percy was my boyfriend. Which, don't get me wrong, Percy was cute, but I still didn't like the feeling that the rest of my family thought he was my boyfriend when he actually wasn't.

While I was thinking about this, my step-mom had asked what he had looked like, and that's when my father brought up another one of my fears.

"Well, you know that poster that she has up in her room? The one with the guy who she thinks is extremely cute?"

"Well, he is," I defended.

"Either way. You know, the one that she wanted to see in concert?"

"Oh yeah, I know which one you're talking about."

"Well, he looked a lot like that guy on the poster."

Boom. My worst fear confirmed. I had tried to blow it off. None of his friends had said anything about the resemblance, and I didn't want to ask his sister about it because I didn't want to seem foolish.

What am I talking about? Well, Percy looks exactly like the lead singer of my favorite band, The Big Three.

A/N:

So, what did you think? Annabeth is officially suspecious of Percy now. What's going to happen next chapter? You are going to have to read on to find out.

In other news, my most popular story, The Princess and the Peasant, is now COMPLETE. There is currently a live vote on whether a sequel will be produced or not. If you haven't read TPATP yet, please do so. It will be worth your time. I'm sure many people can attest to that statement.

Update news: If you didn't know already, the decision for whether or not a TPATP sequel will be written will be up on my website just under the head banner by next Tuesday the 23rd. I will not say whether a sequel will be written on Fanfiction. You need to check the website. Chapter Five of TB3 will be up probably on next Thursday the 25th or the following Monday the 29th. I'm not sure which yet.

I will be releasing a new story sometime within the next couple of weeks. It is NOT the sequel to TPATP, so don't get excited. More news on that will follow.

Now for the Question of the Chapter (all rights go to annabeth the wise girl): What is your favorite place in Camp Half-Blood? Please describe it.

Wow, good question. Let's see...my favorite place in CHB...I'd have to say the Fireworks beach. One, it's a beach and who wouldn't want to be at a beach and two, I have always wondered what the fireworks the Hephaestus kids put on looked like. And of course, if I had a girlfriend as amazing as Miss Annabeth Chase, I would love to take her on a stroll along the beach. Girls love that sort of thing. As for describing it, I think Riordan has that pretty much covered. It's a beach and they show fireworks there. Pretty simple, no?

Anyways, there's your answer annabeth the wise girl. Now you, and the rest of my readers, need to answer the same thing.

Make sure to review (and answer her question)!

Thanks!
