Here's chapter 10! Enjoy! Please check out my other stories too guys!
Annabeth's POV:
I have to admit, I was so excited I wanted school to end now just so Percy and I can have our date. Sadly the clock decided to stop time for all eternity so that may never be. At lunch I blocked out everything trying to come up with ideas for what to do. In my last class I looked at the clock desperately thinking Hurry! Hurry! I want to have fun! Finally when the bell rang I almost shouted 'Halleluiah!' to the sky.
I hurried along the sidewalk leaving school and looking for Percy. Man he's good at disappearing! I thought. "Sorry I'm late! Got caught up in the rush and…" Someone apologized. I shot around.
"Ah!" I screamed, frightened. I saw Percy and mentally face palmed Stop it Annabeth! You're paranoid! I yelled to myself.
"Whoa." Percy cried. "I didn't mean to scare you!" I hit him in the arm.
"Don't do that." I told him. "You nearly killed me!"
"Okay…" he replied. "Sorry." I sighed.
"It's alright, I was a little paranoid anyway." I said.
"A little?" he asked. This time I punched him in the same spot hard.
"C'mon let's go smart guy!" I cried. Percy rubbed his arm.
"Ow," he replied.
"I barely hit you." I told him. Percy rolled his eyes and walked with me. I stopped a few minutes later in front of the forest, turned around and Percy was trying to release a stray dog from his shoe. He pointed to a sign on a pole that said 'Lost dog, if found please call this number and etc.' below was a picture of a Beagle chewing on a shoe, the dog looked just like the one biting Percy's shoe.
"I think I found their dog!" he said.
"Aw, she's so cute!" I cried.
"How could you possibly know it's a she?" Percy asked. I pointed to the sign where it laid out her gender and other interesting things about her.
"Her name's Mrs. O'Leary by the way." I informed. (A/N I know in the books she's a completely different dog but for what I'm picturing, a beagle made more sense. Sorry.) Percy stared at me with shocked eyes.
"How did I not see that?" he asked. I pointed to the little guy who was trying to make a meal of Percy's shoe.
"Maybe she distracted you." I replied. "Just a thought." Percy leaned down and ripped the little monster from his shoe, literally. I giggled. "Why don't we take her with us? On our way home we can return her," I suggested grabbing Mrs. O'Leary. "Sound good?"
"Why not?" Percy replied. He shrugged and we entered the forest. Percy tried throwing a stick but the dog wouldn't got after it, which gave me an idea.
"Percy, hand me your shoe." I said.
"Why?" he asked.
"Just give me your shoe and maybe you'll see why." I answered. Percy sighed and thought about for a few seconds eventually he surrendered his shoe. I swung it in front of Mrs. O'Leary's face and then got into throwing position.
"What makes you think that's going to work?" he asked.
"Watch." I ordered. I threw the shoe past some bushes into the forest and Mrs. O'Leary chased after it.
"Great!" Percy cried in frustration. "Now I'll never get that back!"
"Relax." I cried. "I'm 75% sure she'll bring it back!"
"And the other 25%?" he asked. I shrugged.
"I guess you're buying a new pair." I told him. He glared at me and I laughed. I kissed him and smiled. "That make up for it?" I saw his eyes go left and his frown shift back and forth into a smile, like he was trying to hide the truth. He gave in and smiled.
"Maybe." He said. I kissed him again, just because he was so cute. Then Mrs. O'Leary came back with his shoe in her mouth, she was holding the shoelace like she was desperately trying not to slobber on Percy's prized shoe.
"Aw…" I hummed. "She's so cute!" Percy bent down took his shoe and rubbed Mrs. O'Leary's ears, which she seemed to love. Percy threw his shoe back into the forest where Mrs. O'Leary shot after it.
"She is cute." He admitted.
"I think she likes you!" I cried. "You're the perfect pair!" Percy smiled. "You're both cute." Percy blushed and I kissed his cheek. "Tag you're it." I whispered and started running.
"That's a dirty trick!" Percy yelled after me. I ran for a while before a started to get tired and Percy pounced. There we lay on the ground looking up at the sky panting hard. Percy had enough energy to at least keep Mrs. O'Leary playing fetch. "Is it just me or does that cloud look exactly like Mrs. O'Leary?" he asked. I looked where he was pointing and saw what he meant, it did look like her.
"Just you." I answered jokingly. Percy smiled and giggled. Suddenly there was this huge splash and Percy and I were soaked. We shot up to see Mrs. O'Leary had set Percy's shoe aside and jumped into the water. "Mrs. O'Leary!" I cried through laughs. She just barked and started to swim. Percy throw of his other shoe and shirt and dove into the water with another big splash all over me. "I despise you!" I cried sarcastically.
"C'mon in." Percy said.
"No," I told him shaking my head.
"Look you can come or I can pull you in, your choice." He threatened.
"You wouldn't dare!" I replied.
"Watch me!" he insisted. Percy ripped off my shoes and dragged me by my ankles. I tried digging my elbows into the sand, but that didn't help at all.
"Percy! Percy!" I screamed. "Stop! Percy!" finally I was in the cold water and I smacked him playfully, Mrs. O'Leary and I started splashing him with water, he did the same.
"Hey," Percy giggled. "That's no way to treat your boyfriend!"
"Oh really?" I asked.
"Yes!" he insisted.
"How 'bout his?!" I cried, dunking his head in the water. Percy shot up coughing.
"No fair." He whimpered.
"All's fair in love and war." I replied.
"I hate that line." Percy said. Then he tackled me and we kissed. Mrs. O'Leary howled as if us kissing was a big accomplishment. Percy scratched her head playfully and so did I.
"The cute ones are always the smart ones." Percy said still scratching Mrs. O'Leary's head, he smiled at me. I laughed.
"Thanks!" I told him.
"Don't mention it, beautiful!" he cried.
"Knock it off, handsome!" I ordered.
"If you insist." He said with a sigh.
"Mrs. O'Leary! Come here girl!" I called. Mrs. O'Leary then jumped up and tackled Percy in the water, dunking his head. He shot up coughing.
"That proves there is such thing as too much love." He told her. Mrs. O'Leary gave him big eyes and he rolled his, petting her. I laughed so hard I could hardly breathe.
"What's so funny?" Percy asked.
"You two are just so adorable." I answered. After a while we got out of the water and collected our shoes and Percy's shirt. We laded down for a bit to get dry and then decided to bring Mrs. O'Leary home. We ripped the sign off the pole and read the address. Mrs. O'Leary chased after Percy's shoe as we walked, Percy laughed every time she sunk her teeth into it.
…..o0o…..
"Well here we are!" I cried gesturing to a house. Percy picked up Mrs. O'Leary and walked up the driveway to the door with me.
"I'm going to miss her." He admitted.
"You can always ask the owner if you can pet sit once in a while." I suggested.
"I guess." He agreed, ringing the doorbell. An adult opened the door.
"You found my dog!" he cried in excitement, grabbing Mrs. O'Leary who started licking him. He held his hand out. "I'm Quintus!" he introduced. "And you kids are?"
"I'm Annabeth and this is my boyfriend Percy!" I replied. Percy waved. "We had fun with your dog and were hoping maybe sometime we could doggy sit?"
"Tell you what, If you really want to I let you baby sit her every Friday, deal?"
"Deal!" Percy cried. "Thank you sir!"
"Eh," he said. "Thanks for bringing my dog home!"
"You're welcome!" I said.
"Have a nice day." He told us.
"You too." I replied. He closed his door still holding Mrs. O'Leary and we left. When we got to my house Percy smiled.
"Bye, beautiful." He said. We kissed and I walked to my house.
"So long, handsome!" I cried as he walked away and then entered my home. I had a wonderful story to tell my step-mom today.
