It's been a few days after the walk on the beach.
Percy's POV
I woke in the middle of the night. Sometimes I just do that for no good reason. I thought about the past few days with Annabeth. After another week, she'll be going back home. *sigh* I didn't want her to leave me. I loved her smile, her eyes, how she loops her arm through mine, everything about her. For the past few days, Annabeth and I have been like, spending each second of the day with each other. During the day we would wrestle, watch TV, read a book, take nap, or play a board game or something. It really didn't matter what we did, but what did matter was that we did things together. And we would always be touching in one way or another, whether it was a brush against fingers, a hug, holding hands, snuggling, or something else. It was really special to me and I liked it. I wonder how she feels and do I hear screaming? I walked out of my room and I realized that the screaming was coming from Annabeth's room. I slowly stepped in and I was shocked to see Annabeth crying.
"No, stop, Percy!" She wailed.
She's having a nightmare about me?
"No!" she screamed.
"Percy, you can't leave me! I love you! Don't go away! Don't die!" She sobbed.
"Why'd you have to sacrifice yourself to save me? Why?"
I quickly got to Annabeth's side and gently shook her.
"Annabeth, snap out of it. It was just a bad dream. I'm here."
Annabeth's eyes fluttered open and when she saw me, she hugged me.
"It's just a bad dream. I'm here, Wise Girl."
"I-I'm sorry Percy."
"No, don't be. I have nightmares about you sometimes."
"Can you stay with me?"
"Sure." I said as I climbed onto the bed and lay beside her.
"Thank you, Percy."
"I love you, Wise Girl. Good night."
"Good night, Percy."
Annabeth's POV
I woke up this morning in Percy's arms. Percy looked peaceful when he slept. It turns out that he doesn't drool in his sleep. Suddenly, Ms. Jackson come in and gasps. I quickly climbed out of bed and woke up Percy.
"Why are you two in the same bed?"
"Well, um, Ms. Jackson… I had a nightmare about Percy dying in the final battle and I started screaming in my sleep."
"Yeah mom, I heard
Annabeth screaming and I got worried so went to her room to comfort
her."
"And why did you two end up in the same bed?"
"Well, Annabeth still seemed insecure, and she asked me if I would stay with her."
"Okay then kids. I just don't want you two to be doing things that you'll regret."
Percy and I both flushed when she said that. After breakfast was over, we were kinda bored, so Percy suggested that we should go to the beach for a picnic.
"That's a great idea, Percy! Since it was you're idea, I'll just get my bikini and you'll pack all the stuff we need." I said as I gave him a peck on his cheek.
"Girls." Percy grumbled.
I was digging through my suitcase when I Alegutsia started bothering me again.
Girl, you have got to get your stuff more organized… or else it's whuppin' time.
Alegutsia, you're not black. You're white, like me. (Stereotypic racism. No offense.)
Okay.
So, how do you think I look?
As a gut, I don't wear bikinis or read fashion magazines or watch TV. I don't know.
Why don't you just GM some fashion designer's gut?
You do know that there is a fee to GMing right?
No, I don't.
Don't you know about Dolguts?
No.
It's the gut currency.
One hundred peguts equal one Dolgut. And one hundred Dolguts equals a Gutsdonian Pound.
Is that where you're from? Gutsdonia?
Yes.
So how does gut money let you GM?
Well, we insert Dolguts into our compugut and we get to talk to people via the Intergut.
Well if you insert Dolguts into your computer, can't you just take them out?
No, the gutvernment passed a law that says that you can't take Dolguts from your compugut.
Who collects the Dolguts?
The workers from Gutex and UPGut
Oh. I think you're crazy.
No, you're crazy. You're the one who had the Pepto Bismol.
Well you were kinda creepy, and-
Excuse me? Who's creepy? You're creepy. You've got fleshy sticks that move sticking out of you upper body's sides! You've got two more fleshy sticks sticking out of your lower body! That's creepy. And your head isn't directly attached to your main body. It's attached onto a fleshy cylinder that's attached to your main body. Face it, you're a creep.
Those are called arms and legs!
So what? I don't care!
That's it it's time for more Pepto Bismol.
And I'll make sure that you get indigestion and diarrhea.
Darn it.
Well… just get out of my head. Okay?
Whatever.
