"Wise Girl, you ready yet?" I whined from outside the bathroom door. Annabeth was in the bathroom getting ready for our date. Honestly, I don't know what takes her so long- she looks stunning no matter what. Even when she is in the middle of a war, burned, bloody, and bruised, she is always the most beautiful thing to have ever set foot on the Earth. The Earth should feel honored, in my opinion.

"Almost Percy. Just one more minute," she replied.

I dramatically sighed. "Fineee." I could almost hear her eyes roll. I heard the door unlock and open, and my jaw dropped. I swear my heart stopped once I saw her. She was dressed in a flowing blue top with a beaded grey collar, white skinny jeans that complimented her legs, a silver and blue owl necklace, and grey lace flats. Her golden hair was loose and cascaded down her back. She was wearing a minimal amount of makeup (yet she still looked like a goddess). (I created the outfit on polyvore. Here is the link for those who want to check it out. cgi/set?id=78555756 I am one of those people who really likes to visualize every bit of a store, so yeah )

She blushed under my stare, and I quickly snapped my mouth shut.

"You look beautiful, Wise Girl," I complimented her, pulling her into a hug.

"Thanks, Seaweed Brain. You don't look too bad yourself" She leaned up to capture my lips in a kiss, and I gladly returned it. She pulled away, and I pouted as she laughed.

"Come on, Perce. We're gonna be late for…." She trailed off as she realized she didn't know where we were going. "Where are you taking me?"

"To dinner, and then a movie or maybe walk around the city for a bit." Her eyes sparkled, and I took that as a good sign.

We walked into the living room, and Annabeth grabbed her purse.

"Bye mom! We'll be back in a few hours!" I called out to my mother, who was in the kitchen cooking dinner for her and Paul.

"Wait, Percy! I want to take pictures!" My mom rushed out carrying a camera.

I groaned, receiving a smack from Annabeth, who then cursed. She always forgets about my Achilles Curse. I smirked at her, and she glared. Suddenly, I felt something poke the small of my back, where my vulnerable spot was, and I jumped. She smirked back at me, and I glared at her. She gave me a peck on the cheek and I smiled. As she kissed me, I heard a snap, and we were both blinded by a bright white light. My mom snapped a picture of us.

"Aw, that's so cute!" my mom exclaimed. She showed us the picture of Annabeth kissing my cheek, and I smiled widely- It really was a good picture. "Ok, now go have fun, you two."

"Thanks, Sally," Annabeth said.

"Bye mom." I entwined my fingers with Annabeth's and she leaned into me as we walked to my car. I opened her door for her, and she looked up at me, a smile playing on her lips.

"I can open my own door, Seaweed Brain," she said giving me a playful shove.

I rolled my eyes. "I know you can. I just wanted to do it for my amazing girlfriend."

A light pink hue tinted her cheeks. "Thanks." I just kissed her cheek before climbing into the driver's side.

"I love this car," she murmured, her eyes closed and her head tilted backwards a little bit. She looked over at me and I raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" I asked. Don't get me wrong- I love my car, too- but Annabeth just never struck me as someone who would be attached to a car. She was too much of a realist. I figured she would say something like "The car is gonna get old and break down sometime in the future. Why get attached to it if you know that you will be disappointed when it's gone? It is stupid"

"It just reminds me of you. Every time I sit in it, I smell the ocean, which is exactly how you smell. It's just so relaxing and clears my mind." I smiled at her. I removed my right hand from the steering wheel and held her hand. We sat in silence for a couple of minutes. But it wasn't an awkward silence- it was just peaceful and comfortable.

"So where are we eating?" she asked.

"An Italian restaurant. Del Posto." Her eyes widened and she shook her head furiously.

"Nu-uh Percy. That place is so expensive! I'm not letting you waste your money on me there!"

"Annabeth, we both know that money isn't an issue for us." She knew I was right. Poseidon, as a reward for saving the world and escaping Tartarus, basically began to shower me with money. He wanted my family and me to live comfortably. No matter how many times I refused his money, he would find a way to make sure I kept it, so soon my I just gave up and accepted it. I don't throw money around though because that's just stupid and careless. I know what it's like to struggle financially, and I know how much my mom had to suffer for me just to put a roof over my head and food in my stomach. Annabeth was in a similar position as me, too; As the architect of Olympus, she was paid a lot, and Athena made sure that Annabeth had everything she needed.

She sighed. "I know that Percy, and I'm not denying that, but I don't want you to throw away your money, especially on me. I know what it's like to live on the streets. I didn't have any money and I was miserable. If Thalia and Luke hadn't taken me in, I'd probably be dead by now."

"I understand that Annabeth. I'm not stupid enough not to realize the value of money, but I'm not throwing it around. I just want to make this night special and I don't consider it a waste of money because it's for you." She smiled and nodded.

I rolled the car to a stop in front of the restaurant. I kissed her forehead, and we both got out of the car. I pulled her against my side, my arm around her waist, and we both walked into the restaurant.

Soooo how was it? Sorry it wasn't the whole date. I'll be doing the rest of the date in the next chapter. REVIEW. I will update once I get a sufficient amount of reviews, so REVVIEEWW POR FAVOR.

Also, sorry for any grammar mistakes or if this chapter sucked. I wrote it in literally 20 minutes, and I didn't get a chance to proofread. I had choir all evening today- no, seriously. I left for choir right afterschool at 4 and got home at 11 p.m., which was roughly 25 minutes ago. And I have 4 finals tomorrow, but I wanted to relax and write for a bit.
