This one, I just made off the top of my head. It's really crappy, I have to admit.

redlox2: Hehe, yup. I wasn't sure where to put her, so...*shrug* hey hav you noticed that Percy's the only Big Three kid who doesn't have a sibling? Do you think I should add another character in here? I mean, I've been thinking about it, but...eh, I'll just put up a poll or something. Yeah! I'm definitely going to try and fit in some Jasper. ;)

nanuvamp: The 'engagement thingy' is more like...a promise. A promise that he'll love her forever, that he'll wait for her, etc. So yea, it's more of a promise ring than an engagement ring. Thanks im glad you like my story :D

E.C Silence: Hey, thanks for bringing that up! You actually gave me another idea for this story. Cuz I wasn't really sure where I should go with this...but you gave me an idea, so thanks a lot! A hint of it is in this chapter, and in case you're thinking about it, no, Annabeth is NOT pregnant. hehe, yea thats not going to happen in this story.

HAWTgeek: Holy shizzle. This is a really long review. o.O' Haha '' darlin' '' huh? I feel for you. And I updated this in clear daylight (actually it's 3:30 PM but whatev) just for you! ..well, actually I got a new idea and wanted to test it out, so...*shrug* But yea..I kinda DO update at night on purpose..but not for the reason you think! It's just...my 'mental clock' is so off that yester-yesterday I went to sleep at four AM and woke up around four PM. Yeah, its really off. And I just find that it's easier to write when it's 1 AM. *shrug* but that's just me. o.O' You want a Percy? Yea, sorry, but that's not going to happen. I mean, I could put a character based on you in here, but she's never going to get Percy, so...sorry, that's life. And its a 'i can't believe she did that' kind of pull your hair out. Thats all I'm saying. As for the rest of youir review, I have no comments on your sudden addiction to Lisi Harrison 'Lingo.' o.O You're starting to scare me, honestly.

KayCee: Thanks! Also, after you read this chappie, I just want you to know that Annabeth is NOT pregnant. There's no way I'm going to make a 'teen demigod mom' story, kay? Sorry, just dont want you getting any ideas about that. Haha teenager-like? lol um okay...Yea you noticed Percy's new little nckname? lol

GeekAtWork19: 'Really really super fantastic awesome story'. Okay, somehow, that whole combo of words right there sounds awesome. Idk how, but it does!

Eleos: Haha nice to hear you love my story so much, bud. And yea, the engagement is more like...a promise. Like he promises he'll love her forever and he'll wait for her and wait to get married, etc. idk. So it's like a promise ring. A really, super expensive promise ring. ;)

ENJOY!


Percy was so cute. He held my hand while we stood in line and he had this adorable look on his face that he gets when he's trying to figure something out. His eyebrows get all furrowed and he purses his lips a little bit while he looks at some random place (the corner, of course he'd stare at that *rolls eyes*).

Thalia, Leo, Jason and Piper all said it was too long of a line to stand, and I have to admit, it is pretty long. Growing impatient as I always do, I mumbled, "I'm gonna go sit with them."

He smirked, "Can't handle standing in line for five minutes?"

"Shut up."

I went to go sit with Thalia and saw her taking up one whole side of the booth while Jason and Piper just laughed.

"C'mon, I swear I won't make any moves!" Leo complained, trying to sit down.

Thalia shot him a disgusted look, "No way! I'm a Hunter, stupid, now find another booth and live with it!"

I went up to her and said, "Mind if I sit, dear sister-in-all-but-blood-and-mortality?"

She smiled sweetly and sat the correct way, "But of course, dear sister-in-all-but-blood-and-mortality."

Jason and Piper laughed even harder at Leo's face when I sat down.

"B-but you l-let her sit down," he stuttered in disbelief.

Piper dramatically gasped, "Leo! Did you just...call Annabeth a guy?"

I glared at Leo murderously.

"N-no, o-of c-course n-not," Leo said, gulping as he shied away from my eyes.

"Then wouldn't that mean that Percy is gay?" Piper said, snickering.

Thalia bust up laughing, "That'd make him even easier to be around."

I growled, "You might want to sleep with one eye open, punk."

Thalia gulped and looked down at her hands. Piper, Jason and Leo stared at me in disbelief.

I smirked, a plan forming in my head, "And for you, Piper and Leo, I'm going to tell Percy."

Piper jumped in her seat, "WHAT? I GOTTA GET OUT HERE!"

She pushed Jason out of the booth, got out, and raced to the bathroom.

A nearby customer glanced at her as she ran in and shrugged to his friend, "I guess when you gotta go, you gotta go."

I snorted, stepping over Jason and going back to Percy.

As though reading my mind, Percy looked at me casually and said, "What'd they do this time?"

"Leo called me a guy, Piper called you gay, and Thalia said that if you were gay then that'd make it even easier to be around you," I summed up, gazing up into his hypnotizing, sparkling green eyes.

He smiled, "Really? I expected Piper to call me 'Mr. Jackass' again."

I groaned, "If she calls me Mrs. Jackson even one more time..."

He laughed, "Ouch that hurt, Annabeth. Go ahead, break my heart."

I punched him in the gut, then gasped, withdrawing my hand and holding it gingerly, I hissed, "Crap!"

Percy, who'd been looking away, glanced at me casually and said, "Whoa, what happened to your hand?"

"You happened, you idiot!"

He smiled, despite my glares, "Tried to punch me like you used to?"

"Maybe."

"Is it broken?"

"...Maybe. Maybe not this time."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

I smiled up at him slyly, "Maybe."

We were just about to kiss when Piper came right inbetween us and said, pushing us apart, "Okay, that bathroom, could use some serious cleaning. Like, I could've sworn I saw a bug in there or something...might have walked through a spider web or—hey, did I...interrupt something?"

Percy crossed his arms over his chest and scowled disapprovingly down at her, "So. Called me gay, huh?"

Piper smiled innocently, "W-what? Psh...Course not. I mean, why would someone, let alone me, call you gay when you're obviously straight, about to kiss your girlfriend?"

"Charm speak doesn't work on me."

Surprise crossed me and Piper's faces both as we said questionably, "It doesn't?"

He shook his head, "Nope. Not at all." He thought about it, then grinned mischievously at Piper, "There was this one time when Annabeth tried to seduce me into—"

"Percy!" My face was burning.

"No, no; I so wanna hear this," Piper grinned. "I mean, I am an Aphrodite girl."

"She tried to seduce me into letting her stay in my cabin for the night and—"

"Oh my gosh! Annabeth, you rebel," Piper chortled.

I glared at Percy, blushing furiously. He winked and said to Piper, "If this starts spreading at any of the camps, you're dead meat, got it?"

She paled, "Uh...wow, I think I need to go to the bathroom again." She raced to the bathroom, yelling at the top of her lungs, "OUT OF MY WAY, OUT OF MY WAY!"

I glared at Percy.

He just grinned, "Who can you tell about your love life if you can't tell an Aphrodite girl?"

I grumbled a bit and looked away, secretly embarrassed. I seriously don't know what was going on through my mind that day.

Percy told me softly, "Piper's not one to dwell on things, and even if she is an Aphrodite girl, she's not going to gossip with anyone other than Thalia."

I snorted, "Thalia already knows. It slipped out one time and she's never going to forgive me for wanting to be with you, a male."

Percy ordered the food and whatnot, and we went over to the booth. Jason was sitting next to Leo and Piper next to Thalia.

"Our number is fifty eight. We just barely ordered," I told them.

Thalia groaned, "Crap. I'm STARVED!"

The guy in the booth behind her looked around, confused and not knowing who'd spoken.

Then I heard Percy's deep voice whisper in my ear, "They filled this booth; let's sit over here." We sat on the other side of the fast food place, sitting across from each other.

I wonder why Percy wanted us to sit alone. I mean, yeah, we're together and everything, but he's never been the type to have me all to himself, y'know? We usually spend all our time with the gang or whatever.

...We saved all the mushy stuff for when we were isolated in the forest. Cue blush and sly grin.

"Percy, is there something you wanted to talk about?" I asked, coming to conclusion.

He nodded, "Yeah, there was." He thought about what to say for second and said, "Annabeth is there something bothering you? I mean, where's the fierce, sarcastic, proud daughter of Athena I know? It's like, every time you look at me, something dies inside of you and you look all sad. I may not have all my memories back, but I know that we've never spent as much time together as we have recently. It's like...you're afraid I'll leave."

I look down at my hands. He knows me so well; I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he found out.

I say weakly, "It's just..."

"Number fifty eight, please, fifty eight," a worker called from the counter.

Percy groaned in frustration and got up, getting the food.

I sighed and looked out the window.


Piper's POV

I grinned, "Okay, okay. How about this? We steal all of their clothes, except their boxers, and we force them to walk around camp."

"Obviously, we'd have to do it at night, when they're asleep," Leo cut in.

"Rumor has it that the Stolls have cartoon boxers," Thalia said with a smirk.

Jason laughed, "But, think about it for a second; this is the Mercury cabin we're talking about. They'll probably stay up late planning tons of nasty little pranks."

"And they'll get back at us big time," Leo muttered.

Thalia laughed, "Nah. If this camp is anything like back in New York, these punks will hang out the Stolls and leave them out to dry. They don't care who gets pranked as long as it's funny and doesn't go as far as to hurt people's feelings. But we should ask Percy about this. He's the only guy who had the nerve to prank them back. Yo Perce!"

Percy came and gave us our food, "Yeah?"

"Have you ever made the Stolls go out in their boxers," Jason said, grinning.

Percy laughed, "Nah, but I got two pictures of them in the showers and I still have it for blackmail."

Thalia beamed, "Really? Mind passing along some of that blackmail you've got?"

He rolled his eyes, "I'm not going to give it to you. They've never done you any harm."

"They have a picture of me in my underwear, Perce."

Suddenly Percy whipped out his phone, "Do you want wallet sized pictures or just have it sent to your phone?"

"Hm...Both."

"Jeez, you're pretty protective of your family, huh, Mr. Jackass?" I said, looking up at him as I grabbed a fry.

"Of course. After all, it's my family." He walked away with his and Annabeth's food.

Thalia watched him go, then gasped, "Uh oh. What's with Annabeth?"

I frowned. Annabeth was staring at her food, obviously having lost her appetite. She was biting her lip nervously, a tear flowing down her cheek.

Percy shot us an alarmed look and waved us over as he set down the food.

"Uh oh spaghetti-o," I muttered as we walked urgently over there. Percy kissed Annabeth quickly and nodded to us before leaving.

Aw, what a good boyfriend; he knows when there's a girl talk needed.


Percy's POV

I sat across from Jason and Leo, muttering, "I really hope she's okay."

"What's wrong?" Jason said frowning at the girls.

I sighed, rubbing my temples, "I don't know. She's just been acting weird lately."

"She seemed fine to me," Leo said with a shrug.

"To you. It's just...before I lost my memory, we were together, yeah, but we didn't spend that much time together. I mean, she isn't a clingy, needy girlfriend. She's not like that."

"But now...?"

"But now we're spending more time together, and it's like she wants to spend as much time with me as she can. Like...as if I'm going to leave her again."

"Ouch. That's gotta be a major turn off," Leo mumbled, grabbing for his cheeseburger.

I rolled my eyes, "It's not like I'm breaking up with her. I'm just worried about her."

"What if she's cheating on you?"

I stared at him, "You really want to break us up, don't you?"

Jason laughed, "He probably does. But hey, Annabeth doesn't seem like the type that she'd do that. From what I saw before we came here, she was really bent on finding you. She loves you, that's for sure."

I smiled, gazing out the window, "I love her, too."

Annabeth, Thalia and Piper came back. Whoa, that was quick. My eyes automatically went to my angel. She looked fine. A little wary, but she was smiling. I stood and she told the two girls thank you before we went back to our booth.

Annabeth sighed and looked down at her fries, "Sorry about that. I just can't believe that we're together again. It's still a little overwhelming."

I knew that wasn't it. She was afraid that I'd leave if she told me something.

I suddenly felt really bitter. I felt a little angry, too. We should be able to tell each other everything, and yet, she's flat out lying to me. She can't even look me in the eye.

I gritted my teeth, looking out the window, forcing myself to try and see her perspective. Maybe she's just afraid of my reaction.

She's always hated not knowing things, so she probably just doesn't know how to react. She always assumes the worst, so that would explain it. But how can I trust her if she doesn't even trust me?

"You'll tell me the real reason someday, right?"

She gave me a hurt look, "Of course. You trust me, right?"

"You just lied to me, and now you're asking if I trust you? I'll wait until you tell me, yes, but the fact that you're afraid of how I'll react when you tell me makes it look like you don't trust me."

"N-no, I do, it's just—"

"I know. Too many people have betrayed you in your life, or left you. But really, Annabeth; we've known each other for over four years, and you still don't understand that I'm never going to betray you, and even if I do leave, I'll always come back to you. Isn't this, me losing my memory but still here with you, proof enough?"

She nodded, crying silently, "Yeah...yeah, you're right. I'm sorry, I'm being silly. Can I tell you tomorrow?"

I could feel my heart soften at her hopeful eyes, "Of course, Wise Girl."


Hey, sorry for the mulptiple POVs and everything, and I know this is probably kind of a crappy chapter, but I've got this idea, and I'm just gonna flow with it, so...live with me, kay?
