Percy's POV July 14, 2017

Yesterday, we found out that Dionysus lied to us. Today, we are determined to find out why. I stuffed riptide into my pocket and Annabeth strapped her celestial bronze knife to her belt and stuffed her invisibility cap into her other pocket. "Let's go Percy." Annabeth said. I hopped into the driver seat of my car and started the car. We drove at high speed to Camp Half-Blood and arrived in less than thirty minutes. "You ready?" I asked Annabeth. She gripped her knife and nodded. We ran up to the Big House. Some kids definitely recognized us because a lot of them were whispering and pointing. Dionysus was on the porch drinking grape juice. He took a sip and the spit it out when he saw us. "Hey guys. How's it going? Want some grape juice?" Annabeth shook her head and pinned Dionysus to the wall. "Why'd you lie to us!" He dropped his glass. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Liar! You know exactly what you did and as far as I'm concerned, neither of us are dead. Far from it." I retorted. Dionysus sighed, "It was an order. I didn't want to do it. I didn't even want to talk to you, but I had to." Annabeth pulled the knife from Dionysus's clothes and stared him down. "Who ordered you?"

"Well-"

"WHO!" Dionysus gulped, "Your parents." Annabeth and I started putting pieces together. "Our p-p-p-parents?" Dionysus nodded. "We're done here. Let's go Percy." She grabbed my arm and pulled me to the car.

When we got home and shut the front door Annabeth screamed at the top of her lungs. I freaked out and fell over. "I can't believe my mom, your dad!" Annabeth screamed again. I came over and wrapped my arms around her. "Annabeth, let it all out." She shook her head, "I can't believe we didn't see this. My mom obviously sent those monsters after you. She sent me that message, saying you weren't worth it. I hate my mom. Do you hear that Athena? I HATE YOU!" Annabeth put her hand on her forehead and started wobbling. When she closed her eyes and hit the floor, I immediately picked her up and laid her on the couch. I got a wet washcloth and put it on her forehead. After I finished, I took a seat on the couch and put Annabeth's head on my lap. I was thinking about our parents plan. Trying to contact my father I must have miss directed my signal. The voice was a woman, it was the same woman who told me to go to Camp Half-Blood the day that I discovered that Annabeth was alive. "Hello Perseus."

"Who are you?" She laughed, how about I show you. A woman appeared in my living room. She was absolutely gorgeous. "Aphrodite?" She nodded. "What are you doing here? Why did you tell me to go to Camp Half-Blood?"

"Well, I found out about your parents plan about a month ago. I finally found a way to talk to you and tell you to go to Camp Half-Blood. I promised your parents I wouldn't tell you myself. I didn't say that I wouldn't lead you to the answer." I nodded, "But, why?" She smiled, "I love you two as a couple. It's so cute. I did not want to see you break up. Anyway, I must get going, the goddess of beauty needs to deal with some important matters." She disappeared, leaving behind a note. It read, Enjoy each other! Annabeth groaned. When I turned around she rolled her eyes, "I passed out again!" She saw the note in my hand, "What's that?"

"A note from Aphrodite." One of her eyebrow lifted and I told her about the visit. "Glad to see one of the gods care about us." She wrapped her arms around my waist and planted her lips on mine. The world disappeared around us as we only focused on the passionate kiss. We sat on the couch and continued to make-out. All too soon, she pulled away. "I love you Percy. Too bad my mother can't accept our love." I nodded. She adjusted herself so that she was on my lap. "Percy? I have a question, because it was never formally proposed. Can I stay here, permanently?" I kissed her deeply, "I'll take that as a yes." I nodded.

I spent the day listening to Annabeth telling me all of the things she would do to her mom if Athena wasn't an immortal god. They were all pretty gruesome so I don't want to repeat them.

For dinner, I cooked Annabeth and I some tacos. Luckily, she loved them. She stuffed them down her throat like there was no end to her stomach. When dinner was over, Annabeth picked out a movie and put it in the DVD player. "What are we watching?" I asked. "Clash of the Titans," Annabeth replied. "I smiled, let's see if they get it right. We have experienced everything first hand." Annabeth giggled.

Annabeth's POV July 14, 2017

At every "scary" part, I snuggled closer to Percy. I really needed him today, and he was great! He did everything I wanted. At one point I was on top off Percy. He held me there and didn't move.

Once the movie finished, I changed into my PJ's and laid down on the couch. "Annabeth?" I looked up at him, "Yes."

"Wouldn't you be more comfortable in my bed?" I grinned ear to ear and jumped off the couch. I sat down on Percy's bed and tucked my knees to my chest and set my head on my knees. "Love you Wise Girl." He kissed me on the forehead and got under the covers. Half an hour later, I could hear him breathing lightly. I was still sitting in the same position.

What's gotten into Annabeth? What will go on in Percy and Annabeth's lives now that they know their parents intentions? Until next time, on Grown Apart.
