Extra Scene: Annabeth's Revenge

"Annabeth, can I ask you your opinion on this shirt?"

"Yeah… go ahead."

"…Does it make my abs look like jello?"

"Ugh, Percy, we've gone over this a million times. You don't have abs."

"Yes I do! They're right here—and here." Percy Jackson creased over the lines marking his abs with his finger. "See?"

"Yeah, Percy, now pull your shirt down."

Percy wore a goofy smile on his face, and Annabeth couldn't help but smile back. If only he would forgive her for what was about to come—

"Hey, Percy?"

"Yeah, Annie?" A light smirk. A sound of knuckles hitting flesh.

"Ow", Percy feigned.

"Shuttup. As I was saying, do you have any home videos?"

Percy crinkled his eyebrows together and leaned back against the wood of Cabin Three. "Home videos? Like what?"

"I don't know, like your first day of school, or a happy childhood memory. Something like that." Annabeth grinned widely where Percy couldn't see.

"Hmm…" Percy wondered. "I probably do. Why?"

"It's just… if we're dating, it would be cute to see each other when we were little…" Annabeth cringed, hoping it was strong enough a façade for him to believe… then she lightened up. It was Percy. She knew him better than anything.

"Oh, like a quality time sort of thing? I'm in!" Annabeth smiled deviously. "Good! Oh, and make sure there are some pictures, too. I want to know everything about your childhood life…"

-SOMETIME LATER IN THE WEEK…-

"Paul? Paul, get the popcorn this one's good!"

"Sally, I'm coming." Paul Blofis(h) walked warily to the living space of Percy's apartment, giant popcorn bowl in hand. "Which one is this?"

"Percy's first words! Oh, how precious!"

Percy cringed from his seat on the sofa. "Mom, I wasn't that cute."

"Honey, you were adorable!" Annabeth snuggled deeper into Percy's arms. "Sally, get out the photo albums!" she called.

"Oh! Oh, dear, you're right!" Sally rushed to get the many albums.

Percy raised his eyebrows. "Anxious much?" Annabeth smiled. "I just think you were adorable!"

He smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Next, it's your videos we're watching."

Annabeth smirked. 5, 4, 3, 2… 1.

"Does anyone smell something burning?" Paul asked, his senses hyped.

"No…" Percy trailed off. He sniffed. "…Yeah. Whatever it is, I'll put it out!" Percy jumped up and ran to the kitchen before the fire alarm went off and the whole apartment building went nuts.

This was her chance. Annabeth nonchalantly raced to the bathroom. She knew there were some pictures Percy had hidden from her. He'd been silly enough to even tell her their whereabouts. The bathroom cabinet, squeezed between the wall and the wood, right next to the emergency kit if you opened the cabinet wide. Annabeth reached in with some pliers she often carried around in her pocket (just in case) and snatched them right out from in between.

She hurried back, but stopped at the kitchen. "Everything okay?" she asked. "I was going to get the emergency kit if anyone was hurt…"

Percy smiled. "No one's getting hurt on my watch." He held up a batch of slightly burned blue cookies. "Kind of burnt. But no big deal. Wasn't a fire or anything. And hey", he popped one in his mouth, "they're still edible."

Annabeth chuckled in relief. "You're crazy."

"If something's blue, the situation is never crazy. Remember that, my dear."

They walked hand in hand to the living area, and were greeted with a year old Percy Jackson.

Annabeth smiled and checked the photos in her pocket.

Yep, still there.

The pictures of Perseus Jackson. Scared. Scared of the bath tub.

-BACK AT CAMP THE NEXT DAY-

Percy Jackson walked from the sword arena to the showers, blue water bottle in hand. He had just gotten back from a long day sword fighting with the Ares cabin and playing with Mrs. O' Leary. Despite his usual happy and carefree mood he has when he returns from the arena, there was something slightly… off.

There was something odd going on around camp.

This, usually, was an understatement of the usual camp life. Nonetheless, something was on the down low, and it looked as if 'the down low' wanted to stay away from Percy at all costs.

An Apollo camper whispered to her friend, who giggled as her eyes followed Percy as he walked by. Eyebrows crinkled, he carried on. A Hermes boy pretending he was splashing around—in what, Percy didn't know. A Demeter girl gave a little dance when he walked by, and just burst out with laughter.

Finally someone, an Ares camper with enough sense to just go up to Percy and tell him what was happening, did. "Nice photos, Jackson."

"Photos?"

"Yeah, of you. Scared. Of water. Who would'a thought?"

Percy had a look of confusion on his face, then understanding. Photos. Of him. When he was three. Scared. Of the bath tub. The photos flashed by in his head. He thought he would explore the water by placing his hands in it, slapping it around, and doing a little embarrassing dance. The second, his mother trying to get him in the tub. He remembered it now, his mother was trying to teach him the basics of water in his little swimsuit. How if he were to touch it, it would move. How if he put it in a bag, it would take the shape of it. But he was afraid of it.

And the third picture, him falling in the tub. With a crazy expression on his face, Percy wasn't sure if he was even sane when it was taken on accident.

Percy should've known that his mother would never make the mistake of burning cookies, and he mentally slapped himself. Annabeth knew no one would get hurt. She wasn't looking for the first aid emergency kit. It was the pictures.

His eyes wandered over to the Athena cabin. The sea green eyes met the grey ones, and when her face protruded a light smirk, he knew she had gotten him back for that little kiss.

And despite all the embarrassing stares and glances, he kind of liked it.

ZOMG FOR THE EXTRA SCENE. I figured since you guys are so amazing at giving me the chance to have my work up on her actually read, you deserved the little extra scene.

Thank you so much for all of the reviews. I couldn't have done it without you guys. You rock. I can't wait till I get around to posting more, and hopefully you read those, too.

Also, I have three other oneshots. One is labeled 'Frenemies', it's about Percy and Luke discussing Kronos in the Underworld. It's no slash.

The second and the first story I ever put on Fanfiction is titled 'Raindrops on Roses', it's a Bianca and Nico family kind of thing. A Nico and Bianca drabble on her death. No slash.

The most recent one is called 'The Son of Neptune Annabeth: My Own Little Hell'. It's a oneshot about Annabeth, Leo, Jason, and Piper arriving at the Roman camp, and meeting Percy. Oneshot, most likely will not be made into a story.

Please check those out, I would be so grateful.

ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND REVIEWS, AND THOSE WHO FAVORITED/SUBSCRIBED.

Thanks bunches,

Wicked : ]
