A/N Thanks for all the reviews, they make my day! : ) R&R!

Okay, honestly, sitting in a car for hours while you're technically "not there" can get really boring. So far, the most entertaining thing that had happened was when Silena had accidently gotten mascara on Annabeth's back up, back up book (Yeah she's a nerd.)

Percy spent most of the car ride figuring out ways to annoy Annabeth. He knew it was evil and immature, but what else was he supposed to do? He thought the funniest thing he had done so far was when he kept slowly turning the page of Annabeth's book to the previous page she had read. He could practically see the steam coming out of her ears, as she had to keep turning it back to the right page. And best of all, she couldn't even punch him or anything, because she didn't want to draw attention to Percy.

He didn't really pay much attention to where they were. He was pretty sure they would have to stop for rest at some point. Meanwhile, Annabeth and Silena were arguing about Silena giving Annabeth a makeover.

"Pleeeeease Annabeth?" Silena pouted her lip at Annabeth, making a pretty irresistible puppy dogface.

Annabeth crossed her arms. "I'm, uh, really busy reading my book, Silena."

"Come on, it will be so fun! And don't forget, we were going to make bracelets remember?" Silena's eyes lit up.

"Uh, not right now, though... Why don't you give Beckendorf a makeover?" Annabeth replied.

Silena looked over at Beckendorf hopefully. "Charlie..." She began.

Beckendorf's eyes widened. "No way, Silena! No way!"

Silena huffed and crossed her arms. She mumbled something about wishing Grover were still here and how goat fur was great for braiding. Annabeth had turned back to her book. Percy was feeling bored now that the argument had ended. He tried to read Annabeth's book over her shoulder, but she tilted it so he couldn't see. He leaned over close to her ear and made a really quiet continuous whistling noise. Percy knew it was the kind of thing that would drive Annabeth completely insane. He saw her eyes glint dangerously as she forced herself to glare at her book instead of at him. He continued with the noise. Finally, she raised her hand and slapped where his head was. Hard.

It made a pretty loud noise and Silena spun around, looking at Annabeth quizzically.

"Uh, Mosquito." Annabeth mumbled, trying to turn back to her book dismissively. Percy tried not to laugh as he saw Silena's eyes light up again and knew she would now have some other idea of something for them to do.

"You know what we should do?" Silena asked, just as Percy had predicted. He heard Annabeth's stifled groan.

"What?" Annabeth asked. Silena had a huge smile on her face.

"Truth or dare!" She squealed.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Silena, there's just the three of us and Beckendorf is a bit busy with, uh, I don't know, driving!"

This didn't convince Silena though. "Just Truth then. Or who would you rather. Or both! Ooh yes, both!" Silena looked as excited as if she'd just heard there would be a Louis Vuitton store built at Camp. Annabeth, however, looked like she wanted to jump out of the moving vehicle. Silena didn't seem to notice. Before Percy even realised what was happening, Silena had climbed over the passenger seat and jumped in to the back. Right onto Percy's lap. Busted.

Silena shrieked as instead of landing on the leather seats, she was somehow a few inches in the air.

"What's wrong?" Beckendorf asked. He pulled the car over to the side of the road. Silena slid to the other end of the seat, landing on the actual seat this time. Percy heard Annabeth sigh as she yanked the hat off of his head. Silena gasped and Beckendorf chuckled.

"You been here the whole time, Percy?" He asked. Percy nodded. Beckendorf just grinned and shook his head, then pulled the car back onto the road and continued driving.

Silena had gotten over her shock now and she was smiling. "Aww you followed us so you could stay with Annabeth?" She gushed.

Percy nodded and grabbed Annabeth's hand dramatically. "Yes, what would I do without her?" He grinned at Annabeth. She grinned back.

"Now I can finally do this." She said as she leaned towards him. He heard Silena sigh as their lips moved closer together. He could feel her breath on his cheeks. Then, suddenly Annabeth pulled back her fist and punched him right in the stomach. And it hurt. Percy doubled over in his seat, groaning.

Annabeth had a satisfied grin on her face. "That's for all the annoying things you've done these past few hours. Did you really think I wouldn't get you back for that?" She asked. Then, she turned back to her book, still grinning victoriously.

Silena smiled at Percy. "This is so great! Now we can really play truth or dare!" She said. Percy chuckled as he saw Annabeth's head rise from her book slowly, in horror, realising she had no excuse not to play now.

Percy decided this would be the perfect pay back for his sore stomach. "Sure, Silena that sounds fun!" He replied, grinning evilly at Annabeth. If looks could kill, Percy was absolutely sure he'd be on his way to Hades from the look Annabeth was giving him now. He shrugged and stuck out his tongue at her.

Silena turned towards them, sitting crossed-legged on her seat. "Okay, I'll start." She said. Her eyes were so lit up they looked like Christmas lights. Annabeth sighed resignedly and slipped her book back into her backpack. Silena looked between them thoughtfully.

"Hmm, okay, Annabeth. Truth or dare." She decided. Annabeth thought for a second, and she looked like she was analysing the best way to go into battle.

"I choose..."
