Talking in all seriousness though it does hurt to be flamed by people but the good reviews make up for it! Thank you my lovely readers on to the chapter.

I heard your a player. So let's play a game. Let's sweet talk. Let's Play fight.

Let's tell each other good morning and good night every day Let's take walks together.

Let's call each other nicknames. Let's go on dates.

And whoever falls in love first?

Loses.

Annabeth's POV

"Percy where are we going?" I asked in all honesty I was a bit weary of going somewhere with Percy Jackson. I mean who wouldn't?

"Calm down Annabeth. We're just taking a walk..." A pause "Like all couples." He finishes. My eyes widen in shock. He's leading the game so strongly I need a way to get back at him.

"So Ms. Chase what would you like to eat because I am quite hungry." He said hooking elbows with me as we rode the elevator downstairs.

"Somewhere to eat?! Are you insane Percy it's midnight nothing is open!" I exclaimed. He led me out into the lobby towards the door.

"Sweetheart. This is New York everything is open at midnight." He led me outside and I gasped. I lived in New York but honestly I had never seen it in full darkness. I had a full scheduele in bed by 9:30 no later and there was only a window in Thalia's room so I didn't exactly go and look at the lights. I stared at them mesmerized bright lights sprinkled the city like the sun had hit it. Every restaurant was open 24 hours. Percy was right this was New York at night and it couldn't be anymore amazing. I'm snapped out of my trance by Percy singing next to me.

"These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York" He's grinning and it's evident in his singing.

"New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York" I sing a long mixing up the chorus. Percy laughs then turns with my elbow hooked in his.

"Let's go get some food. I'm starved."

-Line Break-

We end up at some rickety old stand that's selling pizza. Percy buys himself 5 slices and buys me one. Each slice is huge and i stare in disbelief at the amount of food Percy gets.

"What?" He asks.

"Are there a bunch of giants living in your stomach or something." He laughs sheepishly before grabbing our pizza. I walk over to a bench Percy following behind me. I start eating my pizza tearing off the tip first then tearing the rest off bit by bit with my fingertips. Percy stares at me in disbelief before he does a face palm.

"God Annabeth did you not grow up in New York." He states.

"What's wrong?" I ask irritably. He pulls my wrist away from my pizza and i pull it out of his grasp.

"What do you think your doing exactly?" I ask quite annoyed. He grins childishly dragging me along with him. We stop next to one of the trashcans that dot the park.

"Now what." I glare at him.

"We eat." He smiles. I glare.

"You dragged me to a trashcan to eat? You do realize a trashcan is one of the most unsanitary equipment in the park." I say matter-of-factly. He sighs.

"Yes Annabeth I know." Then he breaks into a smile. "I am here to teach you how we eat pizza in New York." I look at him expectantly raising my eyebrows.

"What?" He asks. I sigh.

"Continue Percy." I gesture for him to move it a long.

"Oh right. The art of eating pizza in New York." He smile picking up one slice of his pizza. "Usually in New York you eat your pizza at 2am drunk, folded, and over a trashcan. Since we are young adolescents we will not get drunk." I gasp. Putting my hand over my mouth in mock surprise.

"Does Percy Jackson have a gasp, real vocabulary." He glares at me I chuckle and then he continues on.

"Anyways what I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted." He glares at me. "The art of eating pizza in New York is a key survival street to living in New York, if you don't know how then you don't belong in New York." He said pointing a finger at me. "But me being the amazing person I am willing to teach you." He takes his pizza in his hands demonstrating while talking. "First grab a slice of pizza and hold the pizza at its crust. Make sure you have a firm hold on your slice, especially for New York style pizza many a group of people will rush by you and one of them will take your pizza and that's bad." He says it in such seriousness I almost forget how silly it is but I listen to him anyway. "Slowly squeeze the edges of the pizza with your fingers. The left and right sides should touch. Once you're satisfied with the degree to which your pizza is folded you lean over the trash can then begin eating." I laugh at how Percy eats his pizza with grease falling everywhere. I grab my slice and it it as instructed. I'm doing quite well and almost halfway don with my slice when I feel a sharp bump to my side. I almost drop my pizza while I'm about to take a bit. I glare at Percy and he grins mischievously. I'm still glaring at him because I almost lost my pizza because of him. I string out a thread of profanities all of which were directed to Percy when I re-direct my attention to my pizza. By the time Percy and I finish our pizza there is grease all over my hands and my fingertip only rule has been broken. We wash our hands before we continue walking.

-Line Break-

"Favorite food?" Percy asks. After we left the park I checked the time only to find that it was 2:30 Percy offered to walk me home considering we live in the same complex on the same floor.
"Hmm. Favorite food I would have to say New York pizza." We both laugh as we make our way up out of the elevator. "What about you?" I question. "Well Annabeth my favorite food is anything blue." I look at him with a questioning look. He laughs.

"That's a story for another time." He replies. When we arrive at my apartment 321 he stands in front of me. He laugh nervously.

"Well umm... that was fun?" I laugh.

"Yeah it was." I reply softly. He scratches the back of his neck.

"Well okay bye." He says starting to walk away.

"Percy wait!" I yell after him. He turns around.

"Hm?" I walk to wards him and lean up right next to his ear I lean close my lips are a centimeter from his cheek.

"You messed up the lyrics for Empire State of Mind." I whisper in his ear before I walk into my room. When I reach my bed i kick off my shoes and collapse. I get into the covers smiling softly.

Point Annabeth. Took long enough.

An- So what did you think? Let me know! Review love you guys! (=
