Percy- No. Just accept that you are wrong Annabeth.

Annabeth- I will. The second it is true.

JM- will you two shut up? You're giving me a headache.

Annabeth- sorry JM, but he's wrong.

Percy- am not!

JM- I don't care! Sorry Percy and Annabeth have been having this argument about if it's better to be a nerd or a jock. In all honesty I think it's better to be a nerd, because being a jock will only get you SO far in life. Through college, maybe, but the odds that you'll end up in the professional league. So being a nerd would be better.

Annabeth- Ha. Told you she agree with me.

JM- Let me finish. But it would be better to be a geek than a nerd because geeks are just more fun. There you are up to speed. Anyway this is kind of a filler chapter because I need to get my mind off of school. Okay I'll stop boring you before you fall asleep.

Annabeth- To late for Percy.

JM- What? Oh well he won't like this chapter anyway. It probably better he doesn't see it.

Percy's P.O.V.

Percy really wished he hadn't opened his mouth. Annabeth had been doing fine at staying her normal self until he had said something. Now they were seated on one of the couches in the Big House. Annabeth was, at the moment, cutting off the circulation to his arm as she held onto him. She cuddled up closer to him and kissed his cheek.

"And this bothers you?" Connor asked.

"Yes," Percy said immediately(Annabeth- Well if it bothers him... JM- Don't judge him yet. He could turn it around). "Sure when it's one or two it's tolerable. But when the whole camp is after you it is HORRIBLE."

"So you like this?" Connor asked point at Annabeth.

"Not like this," Percy said shaking his head slightly. Annabeth gave him a hurt look.

"What do you mean by that?" Annabeth asked, sounding as hurt as she looked.

"Not the way you think Wise Girl," Percy promised. "We'll talk later."

"What ever you have to say to her you can say in front of us," Travis said with a smirk.

"And have it all over the camp?" Percy asked. "Not likely. We'll talk once we get." The last comment was directed at Annabeth.

"So you want me to come on the quest with you?" Annabeth asked.

"Of course," Percy said. "We've been on every quest together. Why change that now?" (JM- I know that Annabeth wasn't, technically, on the quest in the Titans Cure, but it was to save her so I count her as having been there)

Annabeth smiled and leaned in to kiss him, but Percy turned away. Now that he knew she was positioned he couldn't bring himself to kiss her. If he did he would fell like he was taking advantage of her. Annabeth frowned but didn't ask for further explanation.

"So we are back to the guest," Connor said he stood as if he were giving a speech. "In that case. We all know that this could very well be the last time we see these two alive."

"Way to darken the mood," Clarisse grumbled as she 'cleaned' her nails with a knife.

"As I was saying," Connor shot. "Travis and I have been working on a little...um...'song' for Percy."

"Really?" Travis asked. "Now? We haven't practiced it much."

"It may be now or never," Connor said.

"Alright," Travis said standing up and moving next to his brother.

"This is going to be bad," Percy moaned

(Connor, Travis, Both)

Are you ready kids?

Aye-aye Captain.

I can't hear you...

Aye-Aye Captain!

Ohhhhh!

Who swims with the fishes under the sea?

Percy Jackson!

Never gets wet, but thick headed is he!

Percy Jackson!

If near death experiences be something you wish...

Percy Jackson!

Then somehow prevail, it's always like this!

Percy Jackson

Ready?

Percy Jackson! Percy Jackson! Percy Jackson!

Percy... Jackson! Haha.

Everyone just looked at the Stoll brothers like they were crazy. Then again everyone already knew that so nothing had changed it was just now fresh in their minds.

"Well... Thank you for that boys," Chiron said sounding confused and slightly disgusted. "Any way, Percy you'll need a third person for this guest."

"Okay," Percy said. "I'll need someone who can stay level headed at all time. So that leaves Clarisse and the guys. Can Grover come?"

"I'm afraid that the Lord of the Wild is not able to come," Chiron said, there was a twinge of pride in his voice as he said Grover's tile. "Who else?"

"I think we can get along on our own," Annabeth said. When she saw that almost everyone was about to argue she continued. "Look, I get that you all think that I'll just be a liability on this but even if I'm a alittle..." she brushed a piece of hair behind her ear as she looked at Percy, "...distracted, I'm still me." Annabeth tore her eyes away from Percy and slowly lessened her hold on him.

The blood rushed into Percy's fingers giving him pins and needles. He shook them out for a second and Annabeth shot him a apologetic look.

"You're sure?" Chiron asked. Annabeth nodded. "Well then I guess it's time for you to go pack."

"But we don't know where the plant is," Percy pointed out.

"Aphrodite would," Annabeth said. "It's her plant. She must know where it is."

"Exactly my thoughts," Chiron said. "Then it's settled. You'll be leaving for Mt Olympus in the morning."

Annabeth's P.O.V.

Percy pulled Annabeth along to his cabin after they had left the Big House. Once they got there he pulled a piece of paper out of a long forgotten journal and wrote a quite not on it. Annabeth tried to see what it was but Percy folded it in half before she could.

"Annabeth listen," Percy said putting the paper in Annabeth's hand. "Don't look at this or answer it until I'm out of your sight, and you're in your right mind. Okay?" He acted like his life depended on the hope that she would do as he said.

"On one condition," Annabeth said.

"What?" Percy asked.

"Kiss me," Annabeth said. "Just once." Percy sighed but did as she asked. It was just a short, simple kiss but as far as Annabeth was concerned it the best they'd had yet.

"Okay, now go back to your cabin," Percy said. "Once you're sure you can answer, without any outside interference, look at the note."

"I will," Annabeth promised. She turned away from Percy and took a deep breath. That wasn't the best idea. The entire cabin smelled like Percy, and if was like she had just been given a large dose that wacky gas you get when you have you're wisdom teeth taken out. She had to grit her teeth and sprint out of the cabin before she did something she would regret.

Once inside the Athena cabin Annabeth took another deep breath, this time the smell of new note books, pen ink, pencils, books, and a thousand other things, but not Percy. It took about ten minutes for her mind to finally come off it's Percy high (Annabeth- Percy high? Really? JM- I'm sorry. I couldn't think of any other way to put it).

When it did Annabeth still waited another half hour before she looked at Percy's note, just to be safe. Finally she took the note out of her back pocket where she had stashed it.

There were only four words on it- Do you love me?

Annabeth first felt shock- why would he ask this? Then she felt something in between despair and betrayal- how could he not see how she felt? Did he even feel the same way. Finally she felt understanding. If the shoe was on the other foot she would wonder if Percy's feelings were real or just a trick.

Taking out a fresh pen Annabeth wrote down one word- Yes. Afterward she walked slowly to cabin three and slipped the note under the door without a sound. She then ran back to her cabin but not before she heard Percy yell.

"Yes!" he shouted. A small smile crept onto Annabeth's face as she went back to her cabin to pack her things.

JM- Like I said this is a filler chapter and I am sorry about the spongebob song. A friend of mine and I came up with it at lunch and I thought you might get a kick out of it. So anyway the quest has started. And I'm going to have to drop the whole 'Tyson is missing thing.' I had an idea as to how that would tie in but I lost it. It's okay, it was just one of Aphrodite's lies. He was never lost.

Percy- W-hat? (Mid-yawn)

Annabeth- so the zombie awakes. You missed a lot.

Percy- Oh no fair. What happened.

JM- Sorry bro. You snooze you lose. See you next time on Insane STUBID Crazy Love!

Percy- are you doing a TV show now.

JM- You just can't let me have my moment can you? Well then bye, please review(on knees) please, please, please, please! Now times that by 9258284928749484956.
