53 reviews! SHOCKING! Maybe I should do the review limit more often...

Don't worry, they won't be 50 reviews for each chapter... but can we reach 70? Please? I'll update sooner than a week if I reach it! But I'm going to wait a week if we don't!

This is Annabeth's retake of after Percy did the prank!

DISCLAIMER: PJO is the property of Rick Riordan!

Annabeth's POV:

I'm so confused! He did the prank... To get my attention?

I sprinted into my cabin and stuffed my head under my pillow to muffle my screams.

Why does that Seaweed Brain always have to go around, confusing people?

I heard the door creak open. I didn't want any visitors! Just because I wasn't an Aphrodite girl didn't mean I didn't care if somebody saw me cry.

"Go away." I said stubbornly, refusing to even turn my head.

"I'm sorry." a timid voice squeaked.

I turned as quickly as I could, shocked by the owner of the voice. Standing in front of me was... Lacy?

"What are you doing here? Go talk to your boyfriend." I frowned.

She shook her head. "I don't have a boyfriend."

"Did Percy break up with you?"

There was a moment of silence.

"We were never dating..." she whispered, trying not to hurt my feelings.

I spun around so quickly, I was surprised she didn't have a whiplash just from watching.

Lacy cowered in fear.

"I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me! When I said we were dating, I was just trying to get his attention off of you! He really likes you, Annabeth!" she squealed.

I stopped in my tracks. I believed her. Truly, I did. But almost all of me was screaming, 'Don't believe her!'

After all, she did do a lot of evil things that had a great impact on my life...

Slumping down, I trudged back to my bed as Katie burst through the door. "Annabeth! I was going to Percy's cabin to give him a piece of my mind, but Nico was there, and they were talking about a bet! And-"

"Wait, what? Slow down!" I asked, confused, as I motioned for her to explain.

Katie fell quiet as she saw Lacy and narrowed her eyes, but she continued nonetheless.

"Percy and Nico... They made a bet. Percy was only asking you out because he would owe Nico money if he didn't by the end of the week. He doesn't... Percy doesn't really like you, Annabeth." Katie finished sympathetically.

So here I was, debating whether to believe the one who says he likes me, or the one who says he's faking it. I couldn't decide.

I think I'll ask the one who started this.

As I got up, they peppered me with questions.

"Where are you going?" Lacy asked, curious.

"Percy's cabin."

"Why do you still want to see that jerk?" Katie spat.

"I need the truth."

I jogged to his cabin as fast as I dared and knocked on his cabin door. Too late to back out now.

"Go away, Nico!" Percy yelled inside, muffled by the cabin door.

I guessed that granted me permission to enter. "Oh, hi, Annabeth." Percy sighed.

Cautiously, I stepped towards his bed and sat on the edge, completely silent. Percy noticed my silence and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

I didn't know what to do or say, so I teared up and sprinted out of the cabin and back to mine, where Katie and Lacy were waiting.

They didn't ask why I was crying, only comforted me, knowing that I would tell them later.

…...

"Ready?" I asked quietly.

They nodded, grinning maliciously.

"Got the rock, the super glue, the whipped cream, the strawberries, and the lemonade?" Katie, Travis, Lacy, and Connor nodded.

"Revenge is awesome." Lacy cackled evilly.

We all turned to stare. "What?" she asked, confused.

"I like your thinking." Travis said approvingly, while I turned to Katie.

"You are our lookout. Don't let anyone else in." I told Katie.

We tiptoed into the Poseidon cabin and started at his bed.

"Okay, Travis, hand me the rock."

Travis handed me a flat rock the size of Percy's pillow. I quietly took out his pillow and threw it into the lake, slipping the rock into it as a substitute.

"Won't Percy tell the difference in height?" Lacy reasoned, while watching the soggy pillow float away.

I shook my head and slipped the strawberries into the pillowcase by the handful until it was high enough to pass as a lumpy pillow.

Then, I grabbed the jug, full of lemonade, and went over to his dresser, coating all of his underwear in sticky lemonade.

Apparently, he's a boxer kind of guy.

"Travis, later, if he... needs any boxers, give him those pink and red cupid heart ones." I grinned.

Travis nodded maliciously and gave out a tiny squeaking fit of laughter.

"To the bathroom!" I announced, leading them into the bathroom. Connor handed me the super glue as I emptied his real toothpaste and substituted the toothpaste for super glue. We all cracked up.

Next, I grabbed his shaving cream bottle and wrote 'revenge' on the shower wall in capital letters. It was hidden by the shower curtain. After the cylinder was empty, I twisted open the tube and filled it to the brim with whipped cream.

Revenge is sweet.

…...

The conch horn blew for lunch, so I wiped the beaded sweat off of my forehead and sprinted to the pavilion.

"Annabeth!"

I turned around.

"Annabeth! I need to talk to you." Percy panted, running to catch up to me. "Why have you been avoiding me? I don't get it."

I narrowed my eyes and scoffed, "Like you don't know."

Percy looked clueless. "Actually, I don't. Can you tell me?"'

For a couple of moments, nobody said a word.

"I know about your bet with Nico!" I exploded.

"Oh, Annabeth-" he looked uncomfortable as I cut him off.

"I can't believe that I actually thought that you liked me! What am I? Am I just another girl who's heart can be broken for the sake of a couple of dollars? I used to like you, Percy. Are you really so heartless?" I spat, tears running down my face as I attracted a crowd. "Just leave me alone."

I spun around.

Percy grabbed my wrist, but I shook him off, and left Percy standing there, looking after me.

He deserves it.

…...

Percy's POV:

I wanted to scream, the bet was so I could have the guts to ask you out! I do like you!

My chances didn't look too good now. I felt so sick, I skipped lunch to go jogging.

I loved training, running, any physical activity that got your mind off of things.

The familiar slap of my shoes, the beaded sweat on my forehead, the feeling of not thinking anything at all; it was the best feeling in the world.

At the same time, it was like only thinking. I couldn't believe I made such a giant mistake!

The frustration and anger towards myself leaked out with every step. I stopped by the lake shore.

I needed to fix this.

But how?

An idea popped into my head. I needed to go get some help for this plan.

"Hey, Malcolm!" I yelled. He looked at me suspiciously while I whispered my plan into his ear.

He nodded, then smiled. "Okay! I'll get the word out! You should probably get help from the Aphrodite girls, so that they can gossip about it to your friends."

What is Percy thinking?

MWAHAHA! CLIFFHANGER! R&R! I'm sorry, but that was a pretty big chapter. Most of mine all smaller, so this is an extra-long chapter to me!

Also, I made a new one-shot! It's a funny scene on how Percy proposes to Annabeth! It's called 'Ice'. Check it out! :)

One more thing: 70 reviews= I update in less than a week!
