Hey! So I know I have bee making Annabeth and Percy's lives kind of bad, ok, alot of bad, but trust me things will be getting better! Or will it? WHAHAHAHAH! Well, guess you'll just have to read and find out! Read on!

~Annabeth~

It was Sunday. Percy and Gabe had moved in, but I barely have any time on my hands to see him! With more people in the house, I have double the amount of chores. You know, you'd think with Percy here to split the work, the amount of chores would go down. Nope.

Anyway, I was sitting up in my room, listening to Strongerby Kelly Clarkson. It is by far my favorite song. It gives me hope. The song began playing again for the hundredth time when I saw the dumb waitor rise. Curious, I walked over, to see a note being carried up.

Hey. So, we are back to note writting, huh?

-Seaweed Brain

I laughed, he used the nickname I had given him! Smiling, I turned the note over and replied.

I guess so. You know, this was pretty creative.

-Wise Girl

I set down the note and pulled on the rope, watching the note disappear into darkness. With in a few minutes, he replied.

So, do you think we will ever be allowed to leave the house?

-Seaweed Brain

I thought for a moment, then replied,

Maybe. Just maybe.

-Wise Girl

Just as I sent down the note, I heard Gabe calling for us. I sighed, What could he possibly want now?

I found him in the living room, sitting on the couch next to Jewell and the boys.

"Yes, sir?" I asked. Percy came in the room.

"You called, sir?" Gabe looked at Jewell.

"Are you sure?" He asked her.

"Yes! What if that Mr. D person comes back, and theese two are as pale as a ghost? What will we say then?" She said. Gabe sighed, then turned to us.

"Jewell and I are taking the boys out for dinner. If it were up to me, you both would be locked in a closet until we get home." He paused, taking a breath. "However, Jewell disagree's, saying you should fend for yourselves somewhere."

"I don't understand, sir." Percy said.

"Silence. I mean, even though it pains me even to think about it, you two may leave the house for this evening." I was shocked, and by the look on Percy's face, he was to.

"Really? You mean it?" I asked. He shot me a glare.

"Yes, now you better figure something out before I chang my mind." He said.

"Yes, sir." Percy and I said. We turned to go back to our rooms, when Jewell stopped us.

"Gabe, you forgot something." She said.

"Oh yeah. This is my favorite part. You both are to wear these braclets. They have a tracking device inside them, so that way we can locate you every second of every day. You are not to take them off, under any circumstances. Understand?"

"Yes, sir." We said, strapping on the braclets. They were paracord braclets, white with a red line zigg-zagging across the white.

"Thank you, sir." With that said, we ran off to our rooms to decide what we were going to plan for tonight.

~Percy~

It was six O'clock.

"We are leaving!" Gabe roared.

"Have fun!" I called down sarcasticly. Hey, they were already gone, what could he do? I hopped into the dumb waitor and pullled myself up.

"Hello!" I said, arriving at Annabeth's room.

"Oh gosh Percy! How did you fit in that thing?" She said, laughing.

"It's bigger than it looks." I explained. She looked at her cell phone.

"I was thinking we could call Thalia, or Nico or someone to see-" I stopped her.

"Nope, I have an idea." I gave her a sly smile.

"What?" She asked.

"You'll see. It's a surprise." I took her hand and led her outside.

She looked amazing. She had on a white shirt with a denim jacket over top, jeans with holes in them, and an old pair of black Converse shoes. Her blonde, curly hair dangled loosly behind her back. To complete the outfit, she had on a pair of silver hoop earrings. It was a simple look, but on her it could have been made for a supermodel.

"So, now can you tell me where we are going?" She asked annoyed.

"Nope!" I said, popping the P. "Come on." I said, pulling her along down the street. She laughed.

When we were close to our desitination, I said, "Ok, close your eyes."

"Why?" She asked.

"Just do it, Wise Girl." Reluctantly, she closed her eyes. I guided her down a small hill and onto a large platform of sand.

"Ok, one second." I let go of her hand and ran over to a large bush. Reaching into it, I pulled out a blanket and a medium sized picnic basket. I laid out the blanket neatly and set the basket on top of it.

"Ok, open your eyes." She gasped. We were at the beach.

"Oh, Percy!" She exclaimed. Then noticing the picnic I set up, she asked, "How did you manage to do this." I sat cross legged on the blanket and patted the open space across from me. She sat down.

"Whenever I needed a break or couldn't go home just yet, I would come down here and snack on things I packed before. It was a little get away for a few minutes, maybe an hour. I hid the basket and blanket in that bush over there." I explained.

"Wow, but I thought you wern't allowed to leave your hous?"

"Yeah, but Gabe didn't now I was leaving. Sometimes I would get away with it, but others-" I stopped.

"Oh. Well, it doesn't matter. This is wonderful, Percy." Annabeth said. I opened the basket, and started to take out a variety of food.

"You can pick anything you like." I told her. I gave her a plastic plate and started to fill mine. I grabbed a chicken wing, slice of left over pizza, two blue cookies, and a can of blue coke.

"Don't worry, I was here to replace the food about two days ago." She smiled, and began to eat.

I stared out into the sunset, watching it disappear out in the horizon.

"It's pretty." Annabeth said, taking a bite of an apple.

"Yeah, it sure is." I replied.

"You know, I havn't been down here in a while." She said.

"Not me, it seems like almost day I'm down here, thinking. You know, it's the only place where I feel safe, and I can just be me. No worries, no fear, no nothing. It's just so, so-" I said, trying to think of the right word.

"Peaceful." She finished.

"Yeah, peaceful."

The waves crashed onto the shore, ad I watched at the little shells appeared onto the sand, waiting to be collected. I put down my plate.

"If I were you, I'd take off your shoes and jacket." I said.

"Why?" I kicked of my shoes and socks, the ripped of my shirt.

"Because, unless you want to loose them." Her eyes went wide.

"No! Percy Jackson, no!" She said. I didn't listened I tackled her to the ground and took of her shoes and earrings. Then, tossing her onto my shoulder, I ran toward the ocean.

"Let me go!"She laughed. She slipped out of her jacket and tossed it behind us before it could get wet.

"Hold your breath!" I warned, diving down under the water. When we came up, she splahed me with salt water.

"Percy! Now I'm all wet!" She complained.

"Oh come on, you know it's fun!" I said, splashing her back.

I dove down under the water, and snuck up behind her. I could hear her calling my name, panicking. I popped up behind her and grabbed her shoulders. She screamed, but then realizing who it was, she laughed.

"Don't scare me like that!" She said.

"Aww! It's fun!" We played in the water for about another twenty minutes, but then it got dark. As we trudged soaking wet up to the blanket, I sighed. How could we be step-siblings? Would it be considered weird if we started dating? I mean, we already liked eachother before the proposal! I had to ask.

We sat back down on the blanket. "Uh, Annabeth?" I asked.

"Yeah?" She said, meeting my eyes.

"Uh, well, it's no doubt that we like eachother. I mean, I can see it in your smile." She frowned.

"Well, yeah. I really like you." she said.

"Yeah, and it's no doubt that I like you. I mean, we aren't very good at hiding it."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Well, for starters when I stepped in front of Gabe to save you at the dinner. Also, you screaming your head off trying to save me when we were caught for going to the carnival. We protect eachother." She nodded, her eyes softening.

"I guess so. But what about our step parents?" I thought for a minute.

"Well, technicly we could be considered step-step siblings. You know, cause it was our step parents who are getting married, not our real ones."

"I guess, in some weird way, that that makes sense." She said.

"So, would it really be weird if we were, I don't know, dating?" I asked. From the look on her face, I could see she was thinking the same thing."

"I-I really don't know."
