I feel like I rushed this way too much. Oh well, hope you like it anyway.
I do not own Percy Jackson or The Maze Runner. All rights go to their respective owners.
Percy's eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat. "Annabeth." He barely even whispered under his breath. Annabeth, his Wise Girl, was right there, just in his reach. He wanted to jump in to the box and grab her. To hold on to her to make sure she wouldn't disappear on him again.
Yet as much as he wanted to be by her, he controlled himself. He stayed at the edge of the box, with his hood down so that she wouldn't recognize him and arouse suspicion, and he waited for Newt to convince her to come up.
Percy couldn't hear what Newt said to her, but she allowed him to help her up and out.
When she ggot out of the box, she stood there and analyzed her surroundings.
Percy came up behind Newt without being seen and whispered in his ear.
"Newt, I know her, I don't want to arouse suspicion, so let's take her to the meeting place. Given the circumstances, it would make sense."
Newt tilted his head slightly and whispered back.
"Are you serious? Fine. I'll grab the keepers and call another meeting. But first, we should take that other girl to Homestead."
"Good idea." Percy said, and merged back into the crowd.
Gladers were swarming Annabeth and asking different questions. She answered nothing and kept a straight face.
"Oi! Slintheads!" Newt butted in. "What have I said about the questions?! Get back to work! I know that this is very unusual, so that's why I'm calling a meeting! Alright? Jeff! Clint! Get the other girl to Homestead! When you're done, come to the meeting! Other keepers, let's go!"
The two Med-jacks jumped into the box and other Gladers helped them get the unconscious girl out.
"Sorry about that Miss…?"
"Annabeth. Annabeth Chase."
'Last name.' Newt noted. "Alrighty then, It's a bit unusual for two greenies to come up at once. Much less girls." He shook his head slightly. "I'm getting off track. Why don't you come to our meeting area and we can sort all this out and answer any questions you may have."
Annabeth nodded. "Alright." She said in a seemingly lighthearted tone, although it seemed wary and suspicious underneath.
Newt led Annabeth, the other keepers, and a hidden Percy to the meeting place.
When they reached the building, Newt opened the door, let Annabeth walk in, then walked in himself. The other keepers slowly filtered in.
Just when Percy was about to walk in, Gally put his hand on his chest and pushed him back.
"Didn't you hear Newt?" He said in a mocking voice. "Keepers only."
Percy glared at him slightly, and was about to push past him, but Minho beat him to it.
"Frick off Gally!"
Minho shoved Gally out of the doorway and let Percy in. Percy gave him a nod of gratitude.
Percy slinked to the left side of the small building, staying in the shadows and mostly out of sight. He noticed Annabeth analyzing the inside. No doubt looking for escape routes.
"You can sit in that chair." Newt directed Annabeth.
Annabeth glanced at the solitary chair, then at him, yet still sat down.
Once all the keepers had taken their seats, Newt began.
"Alright. I'm guessing you all can tell the reason we're having a meeting, a girl has come up in the box."
Annabeth opened her mouth the slightest bit, like she wanted to say something, but decided against it and closed it again.
"The Creators must be trying to tell us something. We should ask the other girl if she knows anything when she wakes up." Frypan suggested.
"Good idea." Newt agreed. "Now," He turned his attention to Annabeth. "I'm sure you have many questions. We have a couple too, but we'll let you ask yours first."
Annabeth nodded and, keeping her analytical stare, looked directly at Percy and said. "First question," She raised her right arm and pointed at Percy. "Who are you?"
Percy chuckled in his head. He moved around the left of the row of chairs, surprising quite a few keepers who hadn't noticed him.
When he got in front of Newt, he turned and started walking towards Annabeth, keeping his hands in his pockets with his head down and face hidden.
He reached the edge of the stage and put his right leg onto it in order to lift himself up.
Annabeth had stood up and pushed her chair back a bit, looking at Percy slightly defiantly.
Percy pulled his right hand out of his pocket as he stepped onto the stage.
He stood right in front of Annabeth and pulled his hood down, revealing his face to have a lopsided smile.
"Percy!" Annabeth said, rather loudly.
She jumped and gave him an enormous hug, to which he responded by twirling her around so that the keepers saw his right and Annabeth's left.
Percy stooped down slightly as Annabeth stretched up on her toes and their foreheads met in the middle.
After a second, they both leaned back an looked at each other.
Then, as quick as lightning, Annabeth grabbed Percy's right hand and judo-flipped him off the stage onto his back right in front of Newt.
"PERSEUS JACKSON!" Annabeth yelled. "If you EVER scare me like that again, I will do more than just judo-flip you!"
"Heh, it's nice ro see you too, Wise Girl."
Annabeth just huffed and helped Percy up.
"Wait wait wait." Newt said. "What just happened?"
"This here, is the amazing, Annabeth Chase. A.K.A., my girlfriend." Percy explained.
"Wait, that's not fair." One keeper called out.
"Yeah," Gally chimed in, standing, with a hungry smirk on his face. "Why do you get her? There's only one girl, so we should all get to, share, her."
Percy glared at Gally and took a step forward, ready to pummel him, when a hand was put on his chest, stopping him.
Annabeth started slowly walking towards Gally, with a sweet smile on her face.
She sauntered over seductively, and put her left hand hand on Gally's face.
She smiled at him and leaned up to his ear. "Go to Hades." She whispered.
She then proceeded to lightly grab Gally's hand (which he thought was going to be a sign of affection), knee him hard in the groin, and judo-flip him as hard as she could onto the ground.
"I would like it if you didn't hit on me please."
She calmly hopped over the dazed Gally, walked in front of Percy, grabbed his chin, and kissed him full on the lips.
She pulled back after about two seconds and calmly said: "If anyone else tries to flirt with me, I'll hurt you worse." She batted her eyelashes at the stunned keepers, daring them to try. "Now, could someone, please tell me what in Hades is going on?"
"With pleasure Wise Girl." Percy responded. "Ask away."
