Hey everyone! I'm beck and here with a chapter for you! but before you read it, I just wanna say something.

Okay, so as you have probably have noticed, i haven't updated in a while. i was hoping to maybe get more reviews, you know? but i didn't really get as many as i would've liked...so, from now on, i want to get at least 20 GOOD reviews. for me to count a review as good i want:

1) one good thing and/or one bad thing about this chapter (AND WHY)

2) any ideas you have for me

3) anything i can do to make this fanfic better

I don't really care if you say that my story sucks because it doesn't have a plot or something like that, just review!

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO, but i own this fanfic...well, except for the first bit that's all smushed together. C-NuggetsN.L did that part.

"Percy, stop stuttering!" I sighed exasperatedly. He opened his mouth to begin and say something else, but I slapped my hand over his mouth before he could say a word. I tried to avoid the thought of how much I would rather have my lips be in the position where my hand was. "I can't understand what you're saying when you're like that!"
"I lub yu mmphh" Percy mumbled from under my hand. I pulled my hand away from his mouth. Percy looked sheepish, shifting his feet from side to side
"What did you say?" I asked him curiously.
"Uh..." he looked at the ground. Suddenly, he found his shoes very interesting. "Um...it's not that important." he said.
I frowned and stared at him skeptically. It seemed like he was hiding something, but I ignored the thought. "Alright, then I'll tell Thalia that we kissed." I said. He nodded in agreement and I took out my cell phone.
Scrolling down the contacts list, I found Thalia's name and called her. I pressed the phone against my ear and counted each ring in boredom. After the phone rang five times, Thalia picked finally up.
"Hello?" Thalia yawned into her phone.
"Hey, Thals." I said to her, ignoring the fact that she's obviously tired.
"Why are you calling?" Thalia asked me, irritated.
"Because... Um, I did it." I told her, blushing red at the thought of Percy and I kissing.
I could imagine Thalia frowning through the phone in the silence. "No you didn't," she suddenly says. "You don't sound happy enough." she said smugly. "If you two kissed, then you'd be singing, prancing through flowers, and sounding extremely giddy."
I rolled my eyes. At least I've tried. "Exactly what makes you think I'd do THAT?" I scoffed.
"Because you love him," Thalia says simply. My face was heating up. I turned to look over at Percy and he had a dumbfounded expression on his face, staring at me oddly. My face now felt like it swam in lava.
"Damn you Thalia!" I scowled.
She just laughed. "You really should watch your temper, Annie."
"Don't call me Annie!" I yelled, frowning.
"Hmm...Annie. cute, I like it." percy said, grinning at me.
"Shut up, Percy!" I growled at him, obviously annoyed.
"Oh, you guys are crazy for each other." Thalia said, laughing hysterically. Did she just hear us through the phone? I need a new one... "I haven't seen anyone who's been this head over heels for another as you two. And I've seen Silena and Beckendorf!"
"gods thalia, you're insane. we're going to your house. see you there." i told her, rolling my eyes.

"not until you kiss! i'm sending a thunderstorm to your current location, and it's going to follow you guys until you kiss!" she managed to yell at me before i hung up out of annoyance.

"come on." i said to percy, irked by thalia. he looked up from the recently interesting ground.

"um...annabeth?" he asked me. i looked at him,with questioning eyes. "it's going to-" he was cut off by loud thunder and pounding rain. "-rain." he finished lamely.

"can you dry me off?" i asked him, starting to shiver from the cold. he reached out and grabbed my hand. nothing happened, except that my face was slightly pink. i was still wet. "huh, weird." i said. then i remembered what thalia said. "shit."

"what now?" percy asked me, confused.

"i know why there's a thunderstorm..." i told him, sighing.

"why?" he asked, raising his eyebrow.

"well, thalia saw though my lie, and i called her insane. before i hung up she was yelling into the phone that she was summoning a thunderstorm and the only way for it to go away is for us to...um...to kiss." i said, my face heating up.

"oh...um...uh...so...are we..." he trailed off, looking back down to the ground. seriously, what's with the ground today? is there something i don't see!

"well, it's either here or there." i said to him, not wanting to beat around the bush.

"uh..." he blushed a little. it was cute. well, i better get this over with...that makes it sound like i don't want to kiss him...but i don't want to ruin our friendship...gah! boys are confusing! i don't remember why i even bother.

"um...why are you staring at me?" percy asked me, smirking.

"because you're cute." i told him. he blushed and it was my turn to smirk. "why are you blushing?" i asked him, quirkingmy eyebrow.

"well, you see, there's this girl. and i kinda sorta really like her. you know? and she's beautiful." he started. i wonder who it is. i frowned slightly as percy continued on. "she can take care of herself, she's not clingy, she has blond princess curls for hair and stormy grey eyes. she's a demigod and she's my friend. i've only known her for a few days and i'm already crazy about her."

hmm...this person sounds beautiful. i tried to think of someone who was like that, but i came up with no one.

"but do you want to know the funny thing? she doesn't realise who i'm talking about." percy said to me, stepping forward.

"huh?" i asked, confused.

he laughed softly. "annabeth, the person i'm talking about. it's you." he stepped even closer, making me back up a little into the wall.

"it is?" i asked him, unable to think straight with percy this close to me.

"yeah. aren't you supposed to be a daughter of athena?" he asked me, smirking.

i glared at him for a second, considering hitting him. but since i'm a demigod with annoying ADHD, i act on impulses. my recent impulse? kissing percy.

i saw his eyes widen slightly before i slowly closed mine. i felt one of percy's hands go to the back of my neck, pulling me closer to him, and his other went to my hip. my hands went around his neck, my fingers twirling the hair at the base of his neck. we just stood there, kissing. after a little bit, i realized what i was doing. i was kissing percy! i was kissing my friend! i'm such an idiot! what was i thinking! i pulled away from him quickly and moved out of his reach, blushing like crazy.

"i'm sorry. i...i didn't...i didn't mean to..." i mumbled, blushing.

"annabeth..." he said softly. i ignored him and ran away, towards my house.

Ohh! they kissed! but annabeth ran away... :/ what a mood-killer XD.

remember, 20 GOOD reviews, or i don't update. no ifs, ands, or buts about it!

BUT! (and it's a big but)

if i don't get enough reviews in a week, then i'm posting an author's note stating that if you don't review, then i'm not gonna continue this story.
