Disclaimer: Rick Riordan owns the characters to be mentioned in this chapter, except for Kate and Sheila who I totally made up.

Like I said before, this is part of a RP thread I had with someone on Tumblr so it's not entirely mine. Everything Percy and Jason does is all his part. I only take up Annabeth, Piper, and Reyna. At some point the Athena campers you'll be reading later on.

Read, enjoy, and leave a review!

First Date

...

Part 4

Meanwhile back in cabin six, Malcolm almost jumped from his chair when Percy Jackson's head appeared from the open window.

"Malcolm," Percy whispered, "I need to talk to you about Annabeth. Has she ever mentioned anything about an ideal date to you or anyone?"

As he asked for help from his girlfriend's brother, he started to panic. He didn't know anything about dating either. Percy didn't have any siblings that could help him out with this stuff (it wasn't like Tyson knew anything about this). Who could he go to for help for himself? Jason? Grover? Hell even Clarisse would have been helpful at this point. Percy started to think of the irony of his entire situation. He was able to face an entire Titan Army but he wasn't so sure that he'd be able to survive one date.

"Whoa, Percy." Malcolm said while still recovering from a racing heart beat. "Annabeth. Date?" He asked. It never occurred to him that those two words would collide in a single sentence, but here it was. He was hearing it.

"You're going to take my sis to a date?" A rhetorical question. Malcolm whistled for a while and huffed. "Did it ever occur to you that cabin six don't actually think about this stuff? I mean I don't." And he blushed. "Fine, but she doesn't talk to me about those stuff. It's always plans and blueprints for me. And do you really think a girl, as smart as Annabeth, would talk to a guy about… about dating?" Malcolm made it sound like an unusual word to him.

"You better ask my sisters on that matter. They were giggling together sometimes. Only the gods know what they must be talking about." Malcolm used the tip of his pencil to point behind him. "There's Kate and Sheila if you want to ask." And he continued with his work.

"Thanks man." Percy continued to stalk around the outside of the Athena Cabin until he found a window close enough to where Kate and Sheila were standing, "Kate. Sheila. I need to talk to you two. Has Annabeth ever mentioned anything about a perfect date to you guys?"

He couldn't believe he was actually doing this, but Annabeth was worth it. Hell he'd battle Kronos again if it meant he could show her how he really felt about her. Percy sighed and wondered what she was doing with her time.

"Son of Poseidon." Sheila said. "Oh, don't mind her." Kate answered. "Date, you say? Are you asking her out?" She asked.

"Don't give him ay ideas, Kate!"

"What? Why not? I think he's cute! And Annabeth said…"

"Shhh! Don't!" Sheila covered her sister's mouth. "Don't you dare say it."

But Kate got away from her fast. "What? That Annabeth thought's he's pretty good-looking?" She said with a smile. "Oh, come on, Sheila. Annie doesn't have to know we're going to help the poor guy. Look at him!" Kate gestured towards Percy.

"If Annabeth learned about this, I don't know what happened, you hear?" She threated and sighed. "Fine, Percy. You ask about Annie's perfect date idea? Well…"

"Oh, she did say that just being with you is fine. Even if you're standing in the middle of a war…" Kate interrupted.

"You spend too much time with your guy from cabin ten, Kate. You're starting to sound like those love bugs." Sheila said. "The point, Percy, is that Annabeth doesn't like the whole shebang of violin, candles, roses or petals kind of deal. She thinks those are pretty… I forgot her term. But she doesn't like that." Sheila shrugged.

"You know what, son of Poseidon? She didn't really say anything, to be honest, just that she'd be happy just sitting next to you under some moonlight and… Oh!" Kate's eyes glimmered. "Dancing, Percy. Annabeth said she would die of happiness if you two danced like nothing else mattered."

"Enough, Kate! You're giving away too much. Let him do some surprises." Sheila warned.

"Oh, yeah, well good luck, Percy!" Kate waved.

"Dancing… got it. Thanks you two, I owe you one." Percy started walking away from Cabin Six. Dancing. He smiled to himself. That was what Annabeth wanted and that was what she would get. There was no way he could mess this up. Percy was going to hold Annabeth under the stars, look her dead in the eye and tell her what was in his heart.
