Started another Percabeth story. It's called "Annabeth's Diary"…it'd be nice if you could check it out :)
Percy and I walked back to his house to get his car. His house was only a few blocks from the post-office and I was contemplating how we were going to steal a box of Lucky Charms from the Goddess of Cereal herself.
"Here it is!" Percy said proudly opening the garage, "The Percy-Mobile!" He was looking it with such reverence that I felt jealous. I didn't get that kind of treatment.
He laughed, "Don't worry Annabeth, I love you more than I love the Percy-Mobile." Thanks… The 'Percy-Mobile' was an oldish blue convertible that looked vintage but cool at the same time.
"Can I drive?" I asked hopefully.
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"But - "
"No."
"Fine."
He grinned and I climbed into the passenger seat. I guess we were heading to Oklahoma because it's Demeter's favorite state which made it a perfect spot to sniff out some Charms.
"Wait before we start…" Percy started, "I need to do something." He leaned over and pulled my hair out of its ponytail.
"What are you doing?" I squawked as the blond curls fell.
"One, you look better with open hair. And two, this is a convertible! Don't you want to feel the wind in your hair?" He looked at me earnestly.
I sighed, "Fine."
We set out, Destination: Oklahoma City.

We've been driving for three hours, my hair is completely messed up, my legs ache, and I really have to pee.
"Wow Annabeth, for someone who's so sophisticated you have pretty crude thoughts." Percy said.
I glared at him, "If it wasn't for Aphrodite, this wouldn't have happened!" Seriously I didn't like the fact that Percy could poke around my mind whenever he wanted.
"Well I don't like the fact that you can do it back to me." He pointed out.
I sighed, "I'm sorry, I'm just hungry. And grumpy. And it's like seven 'o' clock. Can we stop at a hotel or something? And restart tomorrow?"
"Phew I thought you'd never ask." He looked relieved.
I looked at him curiously, "You wanted to take a break? And you never mentioned it?" And I was too busy complaining to examine your thoughts…
"It's not manly." He stated simply.
I rolled my eyes, "Boys."
"Men."
"What?"
"Men. Man. I am a man. Not a boy." He said with such seriousness I started chuckling.
"Are you serious? Percy Jackson, The Man?" I asked.
"Yup. Percy Jackson, Savior of Olympus, Good looking, Intelligent, Funny, and The Man."
"I think you forgot Modest." I said sarcastically.
"Sorry, love." He winked. I blushed.
"Love?" I asked tentatively.
"I need new nicknames for you. Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl are getting kinda old, don't you think?" We entered a city. I think we were somewhere in South PA.
"I guess so…but 'love'? Seriously? Are you British or something?" I asked.
"No…but don't chicks think Brits are hot? I never understood that." he mused.
"Brits aren't hot. Their accents are." I said dreamily thinking of Tom Felton. That boy…I could bake sweet squares of ambrosia on him.
"Sweet squares of ambrosia? Are you for real?" Percy asked rolling his eyes.
"Don't judge! You can obsess over Megan Fox and I'll bake my squares of ambrosia on Felton!"
"Can you bake squares of ambrosia on me?" Percy asked mischievously, his eyes twinkling.
Hell Yes. "No." I said.
"And I quote 'Hell Yes'." He smirked triumphantly while I looked away. This mind reading thing was getting really old.
His face softened, "Don't worry Annabeth, you're pretty hot too." Yeah right…
Seriously, I mean it.
Gee thanks. I get a pity-compliment. I'm a girl okay? I'm entitled to have a low self-esteem at times.
"Look! There's a hotel!" Percy all but screamed with delight.
"It's the Ritz-Carlton." I stated.
"And?"
"It's pretty expensive."
"Aphrodite contributed to the CCC fund. We can pretty much stay anywhere, even the White House."
"Really?"
"Yeah." This was so awesome! We gave the car to some guy and entered the hotel. It was amazingly posh, with no speck of dirt in sight. It was beautiful and the architect had, had good taste. I approved.
"One room, two beds please?" Percy asked the lady at the counter.
"I'm sorry, there are no rooms like that available." The lady smiled. BOOM! "I mean, Room 431. Enjoy your stay!" A fluffy gray owl feather was on the counter and I quickly scooped it up. Athena must have interfered.
Yeah, too bad.
Percy!
I'm pretty sure you wanted to snuggle with me!
I burst out laughing.
What?
I…can't…believe the first thing you thought of was 'snuggle'.
Actually it was the second. I thought of 'cuddle' first.
Most guys wouldn't be thinking on those terms. They'd think 'make out' first.
How many times must I tell you? I'm not like those other guys!
I smiled, Yeah it's nice to have my faith restored in MANkind.
We arrived at our door and Percy held it open for me. I flopped on the bed basking in its fluffy hotel awesomeness. Then I got up and changed into my PJs and brushed my teeth. And by PJs, I meant tank top and Drew-short-shorts. I opened the door to see Percy clad in only boxers.
Well there was only one way to distract myself from that yumminess.

"Annabesshh yowa givin me a heaaadasche." Percy poked his head out of the bathroom, a toothbrush in his mouth. I think that was supposed to mean 'Annabeth you're giving me a headache'. Yes.
I grinned sheepishly, "Sorry."
I heard him spit out the toothpaste and rinse. He came out and flopped on the bed, similar to what I did previously.
"I'm so tired." He groaned, his words muffled by the bed.
"Ugh I know right? I wonder how far the others are." I pondered aloud.
"We're first." He said, turning his head to face me.
"How do you know?" I asked, yawning.
"We have you. And your amazing PJs." He said smirking at me. I gasped, absolutely scandalized. Percy had said more flirty things in the past twenty four hours than he'd ever said in the past six years. So I did what any rational girl would do. I threw a pillow at him which instantly kicked in his demigod-competitiveness. He chucked a pillow back at me and before I knew it we were in all out pillow fight warfare.
Word to the wise: do NOT try this at home kids. We were laughing pretty hard by the time we were too tired to fight and we were sitting on the floor just cracking up. It was nice just chilling. Of course, this is MY life so nothing can stay good for long.
POOF!
"Hello dearies!" I groaned. It was Aphrodite. "I decided to throw in the Aphrodite Challenge!" she said happily.
"What? You can't! We're on the Hermes Challenge!" I whined.
"All's far in love in war. Tomorrow you'll understand Percy like you never have before." Wow that rhymed. And she vanished.
I suddenly felt really sleepy.
"Goodnight Percy." And I was out.

I woke up feeling weird. Like really, really weird. I blinked a few times and rubbed my legs together. Why were they so hairy? I swear, I shaved like two days ago! And my chest felt weird…like something was missing. Admittedly I wasn't a Double D but still…And why was it so cold? Where was my shirt?
…oh crap. Please no. I froze rising really slowly. I sat up and saw…myself?
"Percy?" I said, my voice low.
"Annabeth?" the person who looked exactly like me said.
We stared at each other. It was like looking at a mirror. Then I got up and looked in the real mirror, almost tripping over my own abnormally long legs. I saw Percy. Shit, Aphrodite had switched our bodies.
And the plot thickens...dun dun daaaaa
Thanks for the 230 reviews! Review! :)
