p style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: medium;"Athena looked at him, while Annabeth started to (unconsciously, I must remind you) move toward Percy. Hey, believe your boyfriend, eh?/p

p style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: medium;"Annabeth nodded solemnly, and check her watch. "Hey, we gotta go."/p
p style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: medium;"Percy shrugged absent- mindedly. "Sure," he smiled at her./p
