YEAHHHH :D Chapter 11! THANK YOU to ZoeTheBibliophile and TwoLlamas for the AWESOME reviews!

This chapter will be the first one that switches POV's... they will all be noted with bold and italics. This one will probably be one of the longer ones, too.

Annabeth's POV

"Do I look okay?" I asked. Emma had brought the girls to her house for the dance. The boys were all still at the house the gods gave us (which was pretty awesome). I stared at myself in the mirror.

Piper smiled. "You look great, Annabeth. Nice shoes."

"Thanks," I replied. Emma had helped me find some nice black wedges. "Where'd Emma go?"

"In the bathroom with the makeup," Emma called. Two large drawers in the bathroom were literally filled with more makeup then I'd ever seen. Piper had laughed at it and said, "You've never seen the Aphrodite cabin's makeup storage, have you?"

My answer was no. Piper had just laughed again, and I guessed that there was a lot more in the Aphrodite cabin.

"I still can't believe Emma doesn't have a date. Emma's like the nicest girl in the entire school!" I whispered to Piper. "And she's super-pretty."

Piper shrugged. "I don't think she likes anyone that isn't single, and I don't think she likes Percy, so don't worry. I'd probably sense it. Or she's just a good actress."

Thalia noticed the look on my face. She and Piper knew about my desire to look like Emma. "Annabeth, you look good as YOU, not HER."

"I guess." I shrugged. "I actually wonder if Percy would like me better if I looked as good as her."

"UGH!" Emma groaned, walking out.

"What?" I asked.

In response, she slapped an issue of some magazine down and in black Sharpie it circled a picture. I was able to read it after a minute: Is Emma Knight Overweight? She Buys Size 3 Dress!

"What the heck?! You're not!" I exclaimed.

"If a celebrity buys a dress that's not like a size 2, or a celebrity's kid, she ends up in a gossip magazine," she replied. "They like to make fun of us."

"They do?" I asked. "That's mean."

"Yeah," Piper added. "Every time I used my charm speak to steal something, it ended up in the news. 'Tristan McLean's Daughter Stole Something! Get it here, get it now in People magazine!'"

Emma nodded sadly. "Yeah. My parents always told me to stay skinny and look good at all times because you never know when someone's going to take a picture of you. It's kind of annoying. And by the way, I think you look perfect.

"I mostly stayed hidden," Piper laughed. "I don't think I've been in the headlines for awhile."

Emma laughed, grabbed another magazine and pointed at the front page. It took me a minute to make out what it said. There was a picture of Emma and Piper on it and text that said, 'The Knights, The McLeans and The Swimmer: One School, Three Stars.'

"Look again, Piper." Emma tossed the magazine on her bed.

"Wow. How'd they even-?!" Thalia asked.

I grabbed the magazine. "They found out about Percy's Olympic thing, and they think he'll be going. WHAT?! Possible girlfriend Emma Knight?"

"Okay, what? I never really read these, I just grab them when they've got my name on it!" Emma ran over in her heels. "WHO DID THIS?!"

"There's one person I can think of." Piper sighed.

"Abby."

"Oh, wow. That's low!" Thalia rolled her eyes. "It's 7:45, aren't we going to be late?"

"Oh, yeah!" Emma grabbed her purse with her phone in it. "Come on, girls! And you all look awesome!"

We arrived at 8:10, several minutes late. We all handed the guy at the door our tickets and found the boys waiting for us. Emma stood off to the side, smiling, not mad she didn't have a date. In fact, I think she enjoyed it.

When I saw Percy, I almost died. He had a dark blue tux on and just looked super-HOT! I smiled, knowing I was blushing. Percy gave me one of his famous smiles. "Hey, Annabeth. You look beautiful."

"And you look handsome." I smiled. He grabbed me and we kissed. It was the best feeling I'd ever felt- over and over again. He ran his hands through my hair and I did the same.

"Wise Girl, nice dress." Percy said.

"Nice tux." I replied.

"Lovebirds, you done?" Thalia asked. Everyone was staring at us.

"Yeah." I grabbed Percy's hand and led him over to the group.

"So, now what?" Thalia asked. I noticed Nico had come to the dance, too, probably because the other guys made him.

"Hey, guys, Watch Me is next!" Jessica ran up.

"And how do you know that?" Emma asked.

"Because I asked!" Jessica replied. "Can you guys whip?"

"Can we what?" I asked.

"You don't know what the whip is?!" Jessica exclaimed. "Where have you- oh yeah. Home schooled or something. Well, either learn soon or stand off to the side, because everyone at school can whip. And that means the guys too."

"It's like this." Emma demonstrated for us. She picked her leg up, hit her elbow against it, set her leg down and then moved her arm across her body. "Just try it."

We all failed. The closest one to Emma's was Piper. We kept practicing and then the song came on.

"Well, this is the song!" Jessica smiled. I noticed when it said 'watch me whip' they did it. So, we all gave it a try, and I actually didn't think it was that bad. By then end of the song, most of us were laughing, Hazel and Frank were gone and Nico was in the corner.

The next song was Single Ladies. Some girls grabbed Emma and dragged her off. Piper and I looked at each other and laughed.

"We're not single." I looked over at Percy.

"Definitely not." Piper looked at Jason.

I looked up at the front. Emma was in the middle, and a few of her probably-single friends were up there running in a circle and holding hands and singing along.

"All the single ladies!" Emma sang.

"All the single ladies!" the girls echoed.

"NOW PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" they all screamed, throwing their hands in the air. A few other girls on the sides put their hands up too.

"They're pretty good," I noted. "Especially Emma's voice!"

Someone walked by and slipped me a note. I couldn't see who it was but I opened the note. It read:

Abby's Perma revenge plot has begun. Brace yourself.

The next song had started playing... Emma had said it was called Shut Up and Dance. I noticed the couples were all together, and Emma's single girls club was still at the front dancing.

"Shut up and dance with me," Percy whispered.

I smiled and took both of his hands. "Gladly. You are my destiny."

"And you're mine." We both took the dance floor, dancing pretty close to Emma and her friends. They were all dancing in a circle.

Emma's POV

"So, Emma, you're seriously going to do it?!" Rose asked. "Just because Abby signed you up?"

A bunch of my friends were gathered in a big circle with me. I could barely keep track of everyone's name. It was also REALLY hard to divert my attention to a million girls at once.

"The musical? Of course," I answered. "I have to. It's just rude to back out, plus it's all arranged."

"You are too nice." Becky put her hand on my shoulder. "I'd have just said I didn't want to."

"I'd just have kicked Abby out!" Kate rolled her eyes.

"Where IS Abby? She was a candidate and was supposed to come." I looked around.

"Who cares?" Sierra laughed.

"Abby's a BITCH!" Jane rolled her eyes.

"I wouldn't show up to another social gathering if I was her." Amy added.

"I mean, she went from our Queen Bee's best friend to nothing!" Leah snapped her fingers in a Z formation.

I blushed. "Guys..."

I noticed Annabeth walking back into the room. She looked a little confused. I shook my head. What was happening to me? I was going insane. She was smiling...

"Guys, I'm NOT your queen!" I blushed some more. "Everyone's an equal here."

"You're Homecoming Queen!" Sierra put her arm around me.

"True..." I admitted.

"Oh my god, who's that?! He's hot!" Kate pointed at Nico.

"Nico?" I asked.

"Yeah! He's in a grade below us! OH MY GOD! He's hot!" Amy screamed. "DIBS!"

"Hey! I want dibs!" Kate screamed. "I SAW HIM FIRST!"

"Girls, girls, girls!" I jumped in front of them. "You have to make him like you first."

The girls nearly trampled me trying to get to Nico. I laughed as Nico looked uncomfortable.

"You know, Nico's pretty shy." Percy walked up behind me. "He's not one for attention."

"No, the girls just think he's hot." I laughed.

Soon it became time for re-coronation of the Homecoming King and Queen (for those who didn't go to the game). Percy and I walked up there again, smiled, waved, posed for pictures and then returned to our normal lives.

"Emma, girl, you looked awesome! By the way, nice dress!" Sierra smiled.

"Thanks, Sierra." I replied.

"There's a slow song up next!" Jessica shrieked, running over. "Who are you dancing with?"

"When that happens, I think I will be over at the snack table." I tilted my head.

"I wanna dance with Nico!" Kate exclaimed dreamily.

"No, me!"

"No! Me!"

"Girls!" I turned to them. "Like I said. Win him over first! But don't scare him with your mob!"

Stay With Me by Sam Smith started playing and the couples started pairing up. As promised, I walked over to the snack table. Rose followed me.

"Sitting out?" I asked.

"Yeah." Rose sighed, short light brown hair falling in her face. "Boys don't really like me."

I looked at the girls searching for Nico. "Wonder where Nico went."

"Look, it's Percabeth!" Rose screamed, pointing at the couple. Annabeth had a dreamy look on her face. Percy had a goofy smile.

"Aww!" I smiled. I was over Percy and was happy for them. Just then I spotted Nico, who walked over to us.

"Want to dance?" he asked.

"Um... sure," I replied.

Nico led me out onto the dance floor. That tiara I was wearing- the one I had to give back yesterday- was sparkling brighter then the lights. I knew I'd be able to keep it- every year the Queen and King of any dance gets to keep their crowns. Nico's hand was soft, just like Percy's, and Nico was shorter then me and my heels. I was 5'9", about as tall as Annabeth, and my heels were like 5" tall, so I was taller then even Percy.

"LOOK!" Kate screamed.

"EM AND NICO!" Jessica pointed.

"Do you know what you just got yourself into?" I asked Nico.

He laughed a little. "Probably not."

"EMNICO! Emnico! Emnico! WE SHIP IT!"

Funny how my friends can go from Perma to Percabeth to Emnico in only a few days. I rolled my eyes.

"THAT is what you're going to have to deal with." I looked over at the girls. "Good luck."

Nico blushed. "Thanks. I'm going to make a run for it when the song ends... nothing personal."

"No offense taken." I smiled.

When the slow song ended, Nico did make a run for it, leaving me to deal with the girls and Percy's clique.

"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD EMMA! YOU AND NICO WERE JUST LIKE, TOGETHER, AND THEN WE WERE LIKE, EMNICO!" Jessica jumped up, squealing. "I mean, it's a BETTER ship then Perma! Why didn't we think of it before?!"

"I know! I mean, it's like Perma, we all like Nico, we ship him with you, but Nico's single!" Kate cheered.

"EMNICO FOR LIFE!" the girls chorused.

"That's what you said about Perma." I laughed.

Sierra brushed the hair out of my way. "So? This is meant to be!"

I rolled my eyes. They said this about every boy they shipped me with.

"Emma, do you like Nico?" Annabeth asked, a mischievous glint sparkle in her eyes.

"No." I replied. Maybe, I didn't actually know...

"You sure?" Piper appeared on my other shoulder.

"UGH! Cut. It. Out." I turned around to face them. "You're worse then Jessica and Kate, my two shipper-girls."

"I'm a daughter of Aphrodite!" Piper flew back to my shoulder.

"Anyways, what did you think of your first homecoming?" I asked the entire group. "Besides Percy."

"It was fun." Annabeth smiled, but I was sure she was hiding something. The confused look? The lack of description?

"The slow dance was the best part!" Piper exclaimed, slipping her hand into Jason's.

"Yes, I totally enjoyed getting attacked by Emnico shippers." I elbowed Piper.

"Where is Nico?" Hazel asked.

"He made a run for it," I answered.

"Probably shadow-traveled home." Percy shrugged. I looked at him in confusion. "Oh. It's weird. Like, you can go anywhere with shadows. It's a kid of Hades thing."

"Oh." I replied. "UGH, is it time to go already?"

I looked at all the people leaving. It was the end of the dance, sadly.

"Aww," Piper said.

"That was pretty crazy," Annabeth sighed.

"Come with me." I grabbed her arm and we ran out to the lobby. There were a million people posing for pictures and looking for their stuff. There was also a huge line for the photographer.

"HEY! Homecoming Court!" Jessica waved at us. "Emma, Percy! Big group picture!"

Percy and I ran over to the photographer's booth. We stood in the center with the rest of the court on either side- the girls on my side and the boys on Percy's. We posed for a picture and then there was just one of me and Percy- for the school.

"Okay, homecoming picture is do- oh!" Someone touched my arm and startled me.. It was a girl I'd never seen before- she looked like a middle school girl. She had pretty strawberry blonde hair.

"Hi, I'm Ella," she said. "I went with my brother- as friends- and I'm in sixth grade. Can I have a picture with you? My friends said that you wouldn't take a picture with me since you'd be too busy with your friends..."

I laughed. "Sure! You can wear the crown too."

I took the tiara out of my hair and set it on Ella's head, and we took a picture. "Thanks! I'd like to be Homecoming Queen or Prom Queen one day, too!"

I took the tiara back. "I'm sure you will!"

Annabeth stood behind me. "Cute, Queen Emma, Homecoming Queen and Queen Bee of Goode High, famous at the middle school too."

"Shut up!" I gave Annabeth a light shove.

"Enter the Miss Universe pageant, I'm sure you'll win! Or at least the Miss Goode High pageant..." Annabeth smirked.

"No." I rolled my eyes. "Do you want the crown? You should've been Homecoming Queen."

Annabeth laughed. "Me? In a tiara? No. The only thing I'd be crowned is Miss Athena Cabin Counselor."

I placed it on her head. "Queen Bee of Camp Half-Blood, Princess of Goode High, best friend of Goode High's Queen Bee Emma Knight and Honorary Homecoming Queen. It's only fair."

Annabeth sighed. "Fine, your majesty."

"Woah... Annabeth..." Percy looked at the tiara on her head. "You look good with that."

"See? Keep it. Percy has his crown." I shrugged. "Plus, I already have two. They're the same every year."

Percy wrapped his arms around Annabeth. "Come on, Wise Girl, keep it."

Annabeth sighed. "Okay, fine. Thanks, Emma. But you should enter the Miss Universe pageant."

"No." I rolled my eyes. "See you later, guys. There's my limo."

And I ran off to my limo, waving to them and went home.
