I apologize for my lack of updating. I've been very busy (working full time on my summer job) Sorry!

SO THANKS TO THE COMPLETELY AWESOME PEOPLE WHO FAVORITED AND ALERTED! YOU GUYS ROCK! I'M DEDICATING THIS CHAPTER TO YOU GUYS! :D

Pjoperson: Yeah, I've been thinking about that. And I'm trying not to do heavy lukabeth.

IFoundAPickle: Thanks, and no prob. And no matter what, I won't stop this story. Even if everybody stopped reading it. I don't like to quit (at least when it comes to writing).

lovelikewoe13: Yeah, the whole Kronos thing definitely puts a damper on Luke's character. And I agree; I'm more of a percabeth fan too.

Lafd: Haha, maybe. I don't want to give it all away. ;)

Cherry Louise: Haha, you can tell me to update (even if I'm not very good at it, since I've been taking forever) and you might hate this chapter even more. But thanks for the complement; I'm still shocked about the whole over 100 reviews thing.

buzzlessbee: Yeah, sorry about that, but you know, it's a drama story too.

frostfeatherFTW101: Haha, yeah, sorry. I've just been a bit busy lately. But thanks for the review! :D

ConcreteAngelRoxHerHalo: Yeah, probably. I think it would be rather funny. Thanks for reviewing! :D

PJOloverfreak: Thanks, and I'll try. I think it's kind of obvious not that I'm not very good at that.

XxPercabethxX: Not a bad idea: we'll see. I probably might just do that though.

JAG3600: Hmmmm…. I have a bit of a feeling that you don't like lukabeth? Haha, thanks for reviewing.

candy0304: Haha, drama is kinda that point. Sorry about the lukabeth though.

bookwormgirl2497: Yeah, I'm working on it. But thanks. :D

C-Nuggets N.L: Maybe…. maybe not. You'll just have to wait and see. ;)

WOW! Lots of reviews! Thanks you guys! :D

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO.

Claimer: Plot: mine.

Chapter 10

Annabeth's POV

I was excited… and nervous. Luke took me to this big, fancy restaurant that might cost him a fortune!

"Wow, Luke. A simple restaurant would've been fine with me. You didn't have to go so fancy." I said.

"Well, this for you. I haven't seen you in a while. I have to go big to impress you." He said, smiling shyly.

Wow, he did this all to impress me. I blushed. How sweet.

"Reservations?" The host asked us.

Oh no, I thought, you must need a reservation to get in. There's no way to get in now.

"Yes. It's the Castellan Reservation." The host nodded his head and led us to a fancy dinner table for two. We sat down and handed us our menus and he asked us what we would like to drink. We both said to water.

"This is so nice, Luke. But, why are you doing all this? I know we haven't seen each other in a while, but, I'm just surprised you wanted to impress me so much. I'm still the same. A dinner at some random fake Italian restaurant would've impressed me." I said.

"I just wanted to impress you… that's all." He said, smiling. "So, how's work?"

"Oh, same: trying to do everything Percy and Poseidon say and not get fired. I'm currently helping Poseidon with Percy's schedule. We have a clash of interviews right now and we're trying to straighten that out." I said. Luke smiled at me.

"I doubt Percy will fire you; being his girlfriend and all…" I grinned; I see where this is going. I looked around, but somehow, Luke got us a table away from all the others in this small little room with beautiful wood carvings and twinkly lights (must cost a fortune!). I seriously felt like I was in a fairytale.

"It's not what you think, Luke. It's all for the cameras. Poseidon has been trying to make Percy look like a good person for the press by doing charities and stuff; but this all started right after I became his assistant. So everyone thinks it's because of me; that he's so in love with me, he's becoming a better person. Poseidon liked that idea better. Everybody loves a good love story." I said in a low voice, even though I doubt anyone could hear me.

"So… you're not really dating him?" Luke asked; a little bit too loudly. I put a finger to my lips to hush him, and swiftly shook my head. Luke seemed to relax. "Good."

I looked at him funny.

"Because it sounds like Percy is a jerk." He added on hurriedly. I smiled. After that, our evening went great. We ate the best food I ever had, talked about pretty much everything, and then he drove me home. I really had fun and it felt like we never been apart. We were best friends again.

He walked me to my apartment.

"I had a wonderful night. Thank you, Luke. It was great." I said, smiling. He blushed.

"No problem." He swiftly kissed me on my cheek and walked away. I felt my face heat up and my smile got bigger.

Best night ever!

Ok, very sorry about the major Lukabeth in here. You must hate me; waiting so long for a chapter and then getting this. Very sorry. But I shall be posting again soon! I promise! R&R!
