This is a little shoutout to Readergirl6262- thanx so much for commenting, and reading all my stories! I really appreciate it! I hope you really enjoyed my stories! :D

Annabeth's POV

It was after school, and I thought I was about to loose it.

Why might you ask? Well you see, Hazel brought up the topic about Prom, and pretty soon, we were talking about what we wanted to wear. Hazel and I hadn't gotten dresses yet, so Piper thought it was an oh so good idea to take us dress shopping. Yay. (note the sarcasm).

So now, me, Hazel, Piper, K.J, and Tayla were looking for dresses.

Well, technically Hazel was looking for a dress, Piper and Tayla were making me try dresses on, and K.J. looked bored out of her mind.

"What about this one?" Piper held up a green dress.

"Eh. I'm not really liking the colour."

"Okay, how about this one?" She held up a red one.

"It's pretty, but I still don't like the colour. "

"Oh my gods Annabeth! Pick one already!" She threw her hands in the air, exasperated.

K.J. looked up from the couch she was sitting on.

"Hey, Piper?

"Yeah?"

"This is a really stupid question, but why do you guys say 'oh gods' and 'for Hades sake' a lot?"

"Um" Piper turned to me. I jumped in.

"You know the camp we go to? It was based off of Greek mythology. We used a lot of words like that, because we were in a 'Greek camp', and it was a lot more fun that way. We say it so often at camp, that when we come back, we constantly use it in our everyday langage."

K.J. seemed to buy it.

"Cool."

I let out a breath and turned back to the dress rack.

"Nice save." Piper muttered. I nodded.

"How about this one?" She held up another dress.

"No."

She groaned.

~time skip to like an hour or two later~

"Ugh! Annabeth! No wonder you don't go shopping! We have literally been to every store in the mall, and you still haven't picked a dress! It's just one night! Pick. A. Dress!" K.J plopped down on a bench in front of a yogurt shop.

"Sorry. Every time I think I've found the right dress, I don't like it but the time we leave the store. It's like I'm under a spell or something. Ugh! It's so frustrating! I plopped down next to K.J.

I looked up to see Piper starring, wide eyed at a pink, sparkly shop on the other side of the wall.

"Um, K.J, you can stay here if you want. Get some yogurt. Kayla and Hazel can stay too. I think I might be able to break Annabeth's, ahem, spell. Let's go Annabeth."

She pulled me by the hand into the pink, sparkly store, and everything clicked into place. Nope. I was not going to do this. Nope nope nope nope nope. Nope.

I tried prying my hand out of hers, but she had a strong grip.

"Annabeth! Stop it!"

"No! I'm not putting on pink, fluffy dresses! Tell your mom to go away!"

"Annabeth, as much as I want to see you in something pink, just give my mom a chance. After all, she is the goddess of beauty."

I glared at her as Aphrodite walked in.

"Girls! So nice to finally see you! How are things? What can I do for you?" She walked over to give Piper a hug.

"Um, *cough* Lady... Aphrodite, I'm pretty sure you invited us here, unless you now own a mortal store that just happens to be in our line of sight for the yogurt shop, and opened the same week as prom."

"Oh Annabeth, so sarcastic as always. By the way, I totally love what you built for my shrine on Mount Olympus! It's absolutely stunning!"

"Thanks, but since we're in your shop, can we get this over with? I really don't want to be in here longer than I have to."

"Sure. follow me!" Me and Piper followed her to the back of the store.

The store was separated into different color dresses and jewelry. All the blue stuff was on one side, pink on another, and so on. She stopped when we came across a section of blues and grays. Huh. Maybe she isn't completely horrible...

"So, Annabeth! What color do you like better? Blue or gray?"

"Um, gray."

"Let's see what I can do. Please, look around. You might find what you're looking for." with that, she walked behind a curtain. I sighed.

"Well, that was fun. Can we go now?" Piper looked up from some shoes.

"No! Not until you find a dress! Now, start looking!" I sighed, and started shuffling through the dresses. My hands touched a dress, and I immediately pulled it out. I smiled. It was amazing.

Not only was it a silky dress, it was long and flowy (Is that a word?). It was simple, yet elegant. The top of the dress was a v neck, and had little diamonds on the edges. The back scooped to the mid back, and also had diamonds lining the edges. It had two inch straps, and I absolutely loved it.

I turned to show Piper, and she smiled when she saw it.

"That's the one Annabeth! Go try it on! I'll find you some accessories and shoes."

This time, I eagerly walked to the changing room.

I slipped on the dress, and it fit perfectly. It was so comfortable too. There was a knock on the door, and Piper handed me a diamond necklace, thick bracelet, and a pair of grey wedges. She had her hand over her eyes.

"I don't want to see you until you have everything on. Oooh! Here's a pair of earrings and a ring too!" I smiled and shook my head. I grabbed the things and put them on.

"Are you ready to see, Piper?"

"No! Wait! Let me get my mom! " She came back a second later with whom I assumed was her mom.

"Okay! Now you can come out!"

I opened the door. Piper pumped her fist in the air, and Aphrodite squealed. I rolled my eyes and grinned.

"You like it?"

Piper nodded, and Aphrodite stared.

"Sweetie! You're missing something! Let me fix it." She waved her hand, and my hair was lifted off my shoulders. Piper looked shocked.

"Annabeth! You look amazing! Look in the mirror!"

I turned, and almost gasped. Aphrodite had pulled my hair up in to an intricate up-do, with pieces of my curly hair framing my face. she had also added a little bit of makeup. I looked like a completely different person! I turned around and bowed to Aphrodite.

"Thanks. I appreciate it. But, can you take all this off of me? We have mortal friends waiting for us, and I don't know how they would react if they saw me finishing this stuff on in only a matter of minutes."

"Yes, yes. Don't worry about the dress either. I will bring it to Sally's house the day of the dance. Now, go! I have customers to attend to!" With that, she waved her hand, and I was back in my own clothes.

Piper and I walked out, and found the three girls chilling in one of the booths in the yogurt shop.

"So, did you find anything?" Hazel took a bit out of her yogurt.

"Yeah, the lady running the store was kind enough to have it delivered to the house the day of Prom."

"Oh! How nice! I can't wait to see you in the dress! Well, this was fun, but I have to go. My twin is waiting for me in the parking lot. Bye guys!" Tayla got up and waved as she left.

"Well, I got to go too. I'll see you guys at school tomorrow." K.J. stood up and threw her trash away. She waved before walking out the door.

"Well, I guess that just-" I was cut off my a scream form out side the yogurt shop. Me, Piper, and Hazel rushed out side, knowing what was on the other side. Yup. I was a monster. Well, that's just wonderful. I nodded at Hazel, and she started to bend the Mist.

You see, we started building a system after the war. If Hazel was with anyone of us during an attack in public, she would bend the Mist while whoever was left, fought. If Piper was with us and Hazel wasn't, she would charm speak the monster into leaving, or charmspeak the people into believing they saw nothing. Then the rest would attack. If Frank was with us, we usually had him turn into a dragon or giant eagle, and fly the monster somewhere else. If Jason or Percy were there, we would most likely just let them zap the monster or push it into a lake or ocean.

I pulled out my dagger, and Piper started to talk to some people near by. Well, mine as well kill this thing.

In the next few seconds, it was reduced to dust, and people were already going back to shopping, like nothing happened. Everything was, normal.

"Oh gods, good thing that monster didn't attack when we still had Tayla and K.J. with us. That would have been terrible."

"T-that was a m-monster?" I turned around and stared. Tayla stood there, frozen.

"Oh boy."
