Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The plot thickens!!!!

Percy: I don't even know who I'm calling. Just get on with the story!

Annabeth: YEAH! It's no fair! Where's the Percabeth? We're not even near each other!

Me: Oh don't worry… I have plans… ::evil hand ringing::

Percy/Annabeth: Oh gods…

A/N: Don't get the wrong idea in this chapter, I do love Rachel, she's awesome! But in this story she's just kind of a road block for Percy and Annabeth. And I know it contradicts the ending of The Last Olympian, but this whole fan fiction kind of does!!

So tell me what you want to hear,

Something that were like those years

I'm sick of all the insincere

So I'm gonna give all my secrets away.

Annabeth ran into her room from the hallway, hearing her ring tone, and picking her cell phone up, pressing enter and holding it up to her ear.

"Helloo?"

There was a silence on the other line for a while, then, "Hey Annabeth." a shy voice whispered.

Annabeth froze, lying on her stomach on her bed.

"P-percy!" she almost shouted. "Um, hi!" She knew she probably sounded like an idiot, and that her voice was high pitched, and nervous.

"Yeah, hey. Um, what's up?"

Well at least he sounds just as nervous as me.

"Well, not much actually! I'm just sitting at home. You?"

Percy swallowed on the other end. Just hearing her voice did that to him! "Same. I'm just sitting in my room." he said awkwardly.

This conversation wasn't going exactly as he planned it…then again nothing ever went as he planned!

He cleared his throat. Get down to business man! He encouraged himself mentally. (A/N: Yes…I thought of Mulan too…)

"Hey, Annabeth, there was actually something I was going to ask you." he spike into the receiver, his voice wavering slightly.

"Oh," Annabeth's heart started doing double time, seeming to fill her whole chest. It took almost all of her air to answer him, "What was it?"

That's your cue! Go!! Percy's mental cheerleader shouted again.

"Well I was wondering if you were…if you were doing anything this weekend." There. He'd gotten it out. His eyes were clenched shut, along with his teeth as he awaited her reply.

But on the other end, Annabeth had completely shut down. She was staring at her wall, her phone loosely held in her hand, her mouth open slightly. "W-what?" was all she could get out of her already closing up throat.

"I asked you if you were doing anything this weekend." Percy repeated. Now that he'd said it once, it was easy to get it out again.

"No. I'm not!" Her voice was high and squeaky again, nothing like Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena.

Percy felt his stomach do back flips, front flips, and flip flops . "Really?! That's great! I mean, well, yeah. I was wondering if you…you wanted to hang out?"

This was a dream. A dream…come true. Hadn't she just been talking about Percy to Adrian only a few days ago? And she'd literally told her that he never called her, and here he was. Calling her and asking her to hang out this weekend. Her heart was going quadruple time and her breath was coming in short gasps.

"Um, yeah! J-just let me ask my dad! Here, hang on!" she took the phone away from her ear and held it against her chest. Her feet started running before she gave them the command towards the door and downstairs.

She found her father sitting at the table, his magnifying glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, reading the newspaper. She could hear Matthew and Bobby fighting over Legos in the other room. "Dad?" Annabeth asked from the landing on the stairs.

Fredrick Chase looked up from the newspaper at his daughter, his eyes twice their normal size from his glasses. "Yes dear?"

Annabeth swallowed her giggle, and put on her serious face. "Percy wants to know if I could hang out this weekend." she stated as simply as she could, trying to make it sound casual so her dad didn't freak out.

Her dad was a suspicious man though. "Percy? Oh yes. Percy's a nice boy. But what would you do-"

"Yes." a voice came from the hallway, moving into the kitchen. Annabeth looked over and saw Adrian coming in with a basket of folded clothes.

"What?" Fredrick asked incredulously.

"Yes. Yes she can hang out with Percy this weekend." she said simply, setting the basket on the center island.

Before her father could say anything else, she said "Thank you!" loudly, so her father new she meant "Case closed," and ran back upstairs. Once she closed her bedroom door behind her, she squealed and did a little dance, completely unlike Annabeth, but she was too giddy right now.

"Percy?"

"Yeah?" Too quick. He was too excited, too anxious.

"My step mom said yes."

"That's…cool!" He said into the receiver, trying to stop himself from shouting out and jumping up in the air.

They were both ready to scream out to the world, shaking with excitement.

"So, I'll pick you up Friday. Is that okay with you?"

"You'll pick me up?" she asked, her voice questioning.

"Oh yeah…you'll see."

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Typical Seaweed Brain!" she said sarcastically.

"You know it Wise Girl!" he replied in the same voice.

They were smiling on both ends of the telephone line.

"Well, Friday will work. So I'll see you then?"

"Yup."

"Alright…bye!"

"See ya."

Click.

In Queens, Annabeth collapsed on her bed, holding her phone to her chest, and let out a scream full of joy.

And in Manhattan, "YES!" Percy shouted, punching the air.

They will not force us,

They will stop degrading us,

They will not control us,

We will be victorious,

So come on!

Percy looked down at his phone again, his eyebrows knitting together. He clicked enter, and held it to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Percy! Hey!"

"…Rachel."

A/N: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Oh I feel so evil!

Thanks again for the reviews! And again, if I have any mistakes, I'm sorry.
