THANK YOU TO ALL WHO FAVORITED AND ALERTED! YOU GUYS ARE REALLY AWESOME! IT MEANS SO MUCH! :D

And thanks to all who reviewed:

pjoperson: Haha, yeah. Thanks for reviewing! :D

IFoundAPickle: Thanks! I'm glad it is! And that's really funny that your cousin put that as his name on Facebook! :D Very creative!

seaweed brain girl: Glad you love my story! Thanks for reviewing!

k.g.o: Haha, you got it boss! I'll try!

Cherry Louise: Omg, thanks! I'm glad my A/Ns didn't bother you! But I thought to just reply to reviews so they are a bit smaller and it doesn't annoy some of the readers who don't like my long A/Ns. It's kind of a win/win thing. So, yay! Conflict solved (I hope)! Thanks for reviewing! :D And btw, I already had Chapter 5 written the night before I updated, which gave me the time to update twice the next day.

ConcreteAngelRoxHerHalo: Haha, I know. Thanks for reviewing!

JAG3600: Haha, it's ok. I don't blame anyone; I just thought to try to fix the problem a bit in case it annoyed people. Even before them, I was thinking to make them shorter (they were almost two pages long!). They just confirmed it! ;) Thanks so much for reviewing!

Wise Old Rabbit: Glad you love my story! Thanks for reviewing! And I know! That pairing is soooo random! ;D

MaddieDot: Thanks! I'm glad you do! Thanks so much for reviewing! :D

MoeSimpson: THANKS! And I only have one other story that I'm working on, it's my first thing on fanfict ever and it's ok; maybe not as interesting at this one. But thank you for reviewing! :D

Alexandra Nightshade: Haha, I will! Thanks for reviewing! :D

Dawn: Thanks! And I think I will… ;D

Chapter 7

Annabeth's POV

Is it just me or is Percy acting really weird today? He even brought me coffee today! And he never stops smiling at me! This is freaky! I don't know what's going on with him and it's killing me! I've always had this need to know things. Most people call it "curiosity", but I think of it more as a need for learning. What you're learning about doesn't really matter.

I was walking down the halls of his mansion (biggest mansion ever! It's been on so many magazine covers…) when Percy suddenly jumps in front of me.

"How are you doing today, Annabeth?" He asked me. I stared at him for a second.

"Um… ok, I guess… You?" I replied hesitantly. He has to be up to something.

"Oh, nothing. I'm just enjoying this wonderful day!" He replied a little too cheerfully. I pushed pass him and continued walking down the hall. Poseidon asked me to fax some papers and I actually wanted to get to the copy room today. And yes, they have their own copy room with a copier and fax machine and everything else you can imagine that could go in a copy room. Percy suddenly walked beside me.

"So I wanted to know what you want to do for our next date. I think we should see that movie you wanted to see." Percy continued on. I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Are you ok?" I asked. Maybe he has brain damage from all that hot air in his head…

"I couldn't be better!" He replied. "So is tomorrow night ok with you?"

"Uh… sure?" This is getting too weird.

"Great! I'll meet you there at seven!" He ran off with a huge smile on his face. I'm surprised he didn't demand a certain dress code or threaten firing me if I was late. Yeah, there's something seriously wrong here…

Percy's POV

I can't believe she fell for it! She's not as bright as my father thought she was, is she now? I'm going to blow her mind on our date tonight! And when she falls for me—and she will—I'm going to break her heart. That's what she gets for messing with Percy Jackson!

Two hours until our date. I should be getting ready, but I was too busy doing laps in our indoor pool. Not many people know this, but I absolutely love to swim. I may even love it more than singing. Every chance I get, I'm in the water. I don't know what it is about it, but every time I'm in the water I just feel like myself. Not some big famous singer. I know cheesy, right? But that doesn't keep me away from it.

Annabeth's POV

I was at the movie theatre. I was wearing a simple blue dress and blue flats. Casual, but nice enough for a date. I was looking around for Percy when someone snuck up behind me.

"Boo!" The person said. For a second I thought it was Percy, but then I realized it wasn't the same voice.

I turned around to see a tall, good-looking guy with light blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. Wait, I know him…

"LUKE!" I yelled. He opened up his arms and I jumped towards him and gave him a hug. He held me in a tight embrace while he picked me up and twirled me. I couldn't help but laugh. Luke used to be my best friend in high school, but I lost contact with him when we separated to go to college. I haven't seen him since. I pulled back with a huge grin on my face.

"What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in forever! How are you?" A bunch of other questions started pouring out of my mouth. Luke just laughed at me.

"Whoa, whoa. Slow down there. I've been fine. I'm glad to see you too! I just got a job as a waiter at the diner down the street; something to keep me busy until I figure out what I really want to do. I live in the apartment building not too far from there. And I'm here to see a movie." I'm surprised he answered all of my questions that fast. I was thinking more of a very long story about college and how he got his job and everything, but I guess that works too.

"You're here by yourself? Don't you have a girlfriend?" I asked. I started to hope he didn't. I've had a huge crush on Luke ever since I met him in high school when we were freshmen. That's about eight years now.

"Nah, I don't. I'm here with Grover." He pointed over to the counter where you get candy. I saw a familiar bundle of red hair hidden mostly by a baseball cap.

"GROVER!" I yelled. He bleated like a goat and whipped around. I ran towards him and gave him a hug.

"A-Annabeth?" He asked, still surprised. The shock wore off and he wrapped his arms around me. "Annabeth!"

"How are you?" I asked/yelled. I pulled back to get a good look at him. He looks exactly the same as he did in high school.

"I'm fine! How are you?" He answered/yelled.

"I'm great!"

"Are you an architect yet?"

"No. There are no jobs available and I don't have enough money to start my own business yet."

"So what are you doing instead?"

"I'm Percy Jackson's assistant."

"No way, really?" That one came from Luke. I didn't even notice he was standing right next to us; I was too ashamed about telling my friends that I couldn't get my dream job.

"I heard he's a total jerk." Grover added in. I nodded my head.

"That stinks." Luke said.

"And it gets worse-"

"Annabeth!" I turned around to see a guy wearing a green hoodie looking for me.

"Who's that?" Luke asked. I gulped.

"My date."

So this chapter was kinda long. Longer than the others, right? Anyways, please R&R! :D
