So guys, since this is chapter ten (double digits, very important!) it will be very long. Well short. But longer than my other chapters. 1,000, maybe 2K if y'all are that lucky, but I only have an hour to put this together, cuz I have to go to the gym in a hour, so yeah. Actually, I have 55 minutes. Enjoy! )

As Piper and I walked, I didn't realize we had walked into the Beauty (owned by Aphrodite) Cabin. But when I got in, I was trapped. Because if I tried to leave before they were done with me, I would get a Stoll prank all over me. Connor and Travis Stoll are children of the world-famous burgaler; Heremes Stoll. He had a lot of flings though, so he had a lot of kids.
"So, Annie-"
"My name is Annabeth," I snap.
"Annabeth what would you like to do today?"
"Well, I would like to be freed of this place."
"Aww, come on," says the girl, coming out of her hiding place. "We all know about Pheme's blog, you should want to look your best."
"I don't freaking care about what I look like on camera."
"Oh well, she's not making this easy."
"Cleo!" Piper shouts and the girl. The girl shrinks back, "Cleo! Enough of this, let Annabeth go."
Okay, good. she wasn't a part of this.
"No!" Cleo apparently screeches.
"Cleo," says Piper, calm and collected. "There are many, many reasons on why you should let her go, do you need me to go through them?" Not waiting for an answer, she begins, "1) Everyone knows you want to get Percy Jackson, and we all know why." Cleo gulps. "2) We all know that you're jealous of Annabeth. We can all see why. Now, would you like me to go on?"
Cleo shakes her head. and releases the trap.
"Out! Now!'' Piper barks at Cleo. Cleo scampers out.
I egt up to leave but Piper shoves me back down.
"I just saved you from being humiliated." She points out.
"Okay, I know, I owe you one, but can I please leave?"
"No."
I sigh.
"You said you owed me one, and you owe me big time." I nod. "so I'm doing your make-up."
...
"The finished project!" Piper proclaims. I hadn't been allowed to look, and surprised by as many mirrors as there are in the room, I couldn't see myself.
"Can I look now?" I whine.
"Yes, you can look." Piper relents.
My eyes widen in horror at my face.
Pink-ish lipstick. I rub my lips together. Braids with golden ribbons. Light gray sparkly eye shadow. Diamond (real) studs in my ears. i blink uncomprhendingly. What the heck? This isn't you Annabeth. Oh great, and they dressed you up too.
Because I see Piper holding up an outfit. I sigh and go change. I leave and go to Percy's cabin.
"Hey Wi- are you wearing make-up? " He asks incredously.
"Yes." I sigh. "Why, do i look bad?"
His eyes travel down to my clothes. "Not at all." and he leans down and give me a sweet light kiss that causes my belly to give in to butterflies.
I sigh and lean into the kiss, when another flash goes off. But this time, with a big bang.
...
"What was that?"
"gunshot, bomb?"
"Obviously, Seaweed Brain!" I flick his thick head.
We run out of his cabin and see smoke coming up from Cabin Nine. Heaphtues' Cabin. My Mom and him worked closely together. Leo comes stubling out of the cabin and says (looking drunk), "All right, all right." He says, "Just testing a new dwarf bomb."
"Leo!" I say, thorougly irritated.
"What?" He asks, looking at me innocently.
Everyone comes rushing out of thier cabins. Oh, well.
...
At the campfire that night, Apollo's children, (horrible poet, good singer and doctor and actor) (also my butthead uncle)sang at the campfire. Then Mr. B and Chiron came and Mr. B said, "Whoever set that bomb is going to be thoroughly rewarded!"
"Punished, " Chiron mutters.
"I don't want him to be punished, thus he will not be."
Chiron just rolls his eyes.
I look around the campfire and see him, with his arm around Indie, a child of my nun of an aunt, Artemis and Zeus. (Thalia's Dad) Indie whispers something to him and he tickles her. It looks so easy for them.
Percy sees me looking at them and captures my lips, until we hear my half-brother, Malcom clear his throat behind us.
"Yes, Malcom?" I ask, through and through irritated.
"Can you get a room?"
"Well, stupid, we have to be here."
"Whatever."
"Deal with it."
"Fine then, be that way."
"I will."
And that was that.
...
I wake up this morning again. Only thing different is that I wake up next to Percy. Percy's already awake. He smiles down at me and says, "Hey."
"Hi." I yawn and he looks at me like it's the most adorable thing in the world. I look outside and it's raining. I furrow my brow.
"Not till tomorrow."
"Okay, I can wait. I wasn't looking forward to it all that much anyways."
He smiles and nuzzles my neck.
It was all good, till someone found us. Just the person I wanted to see. Note. Sarcasm.
...
Who do you think it will be?
Like my cliffie? Hope you did. Todoole-oo!
