Hello, amazhang readers! I'm extremely sorry I haven't posted for a while, but I had school and other things to deal with before I could get onto this. It'd be surprising if you guys are actually still waiting and haven't given up on me. So, anyway, I'm still wondering why you guys read a stupid fanfiction made by a 12 year old. Well, doubts aside, if you're still reading this fanfiction, have a beautiful day and enjoy the seventh chapter of Of Course I Came Back!


Percy's POV

I watched as Annabeth left the beach. She looks really beautiful. I hope she knows that. I went back to my car and took out my dry clothes to change. Then, I walked to the change room at the other side of the car park. When I got into it, as usual, they were filthy. I found the cleanest stall, which wasn't that clean, and got changed into my black jeans and blue shirt. As I waited, I got into my car and listened to music. The song 'All Star' by Smash Mouth had just started playing.

Somebody once told me

The world is gonna roll me

I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

I kept singing and seemed to not notice Annabeth, Thalia and Katie standing outside my car door, which was wide open. My eyes widened and I turned off the music.

"Uh, hi…" I said, waving my hand awkwardly.

They all laughed at me.

"C'mon guys, everyone sings." I complained.

"Not like that."

"Especially not to that song."

"It's a good song!" I complained.

Then they all laughed at me again.

"Whatever," I said, waving it off. "What do you want to do here?"

Annabeth's POV

I suggested we go to the bubble tea place around the corner then return here. We started walking and chatting. He kept mentioning the ocean. Oh well. We got to the bubble tea store and I got a strawberry bubble tea, as did Katie, Thalia got a chocolate bubble tea and Percy got a blueberry bubble tea. We paid for them, waited then received them. When they had finally given Percy his blueberry bubble tea, we walked out of the store, sipping them.

"Race you there!" Percy shouted, sprinting ahead and breaking the silence.

"I will beat you!" Thalia shouted, sprinting past me to try to beat Percy.

"Ha, screw you losers, I'm gonna win!" Katie shouts.

Thinking they're really childish, I join in.

"Yeah, right! Eat my dust!" I shout, sprinting ahead.

I keep sprinting, catching up to Katie. We're now neck and neck. I look at her, still running. I grin at her and she looks back with an appalled face. I grin even wider and put on a burst of speed. I start to gain on Thalia this time. She looks like she's trying really hard. I put the grin back on my face. I easily catch up and get ahead of her. I turn around, running backwards, and wink. She has an even more appalled face that's even more hilarious than Katie's. I turn back to run forwards and see no trace of Percy. I keep running and find Percy sitting at a bench at the beach, sipping his tea casually.

"Hi." He says, checking his nails for show.

"Wh-H-How?" I ask, gesturing back to where Katie and Thalia are still running.

"Well," He said. "I'd tell you. But then I'd have to kill you." He finished with a dead serious tone and expression.

Percy's POV

I ran until I was around a corner and no one could see me and teleported. See, one of my powers is teleporting through water vapour. I vaporised myself to the bench at the beach and sat down. I started sipping it, slowly regaining my breath. I saw a blur of blonde hair coming towards me and assumed it was Annabeth. She stopped in front of me, hands on her knees, puffing. She had good reason. She's pretty fast, almost as fast as me, but I've had special endurance and speed training, along with strength and power training.

"Hi."

"Wh-H-How?" Annabeth asks, still breathing heavily.

"Well, I'd tell you. But then I'd have to kill you." I respond blatantly with a serious expression.

I keep sipping my tea and it's a miracle Annabeth didn't spill her tea. Katie then shows up with Thalia. Katie has graciously managed to save most of her tea, whereas Thalia has most of her tea slopped down her front.

Annabeth's POV

He's definitely a child of the big three. He got to the beach as if by teleporting. The only three gods that children can do that are, Zeus, by lightning travel, which is being absorbed by a lightning bolt then put down somewhere else by the lightning bolt, Hades, whose children have shadow travel, which is being absorbed by shadows and put somewhere else where there is shadow. And Poseidon… Oh, yeah! His children are absorbed by water vapour in the air and put somewhere else. Poseidon's has no boundaries as there is water vapour in the air anywhere, even if it's only a few drops. So, Zeus has to be crossed out because we would have seen the lightning. So now, our choices are down to Poseidon and Hades. I wonder…
