Thanks for all of your lovely reviews! An author appreciates them! Going to Alaska in two days! EXCITED! Though everyone tells me mosquitoes are a horror... This chapter is before Annabeth became coach!

Annabeth's POV

(A/N: In case you didn't read the top, THIS IS BEFORE ANNABETH BECAME COACH. I don't know why you wouldn't read the top though… that's why it's THERE!)

I passed the volleyball straight to Percy, but I laughed when it hit him in the head.

"Seriously!" Percy threw his hands up in the air "Volleyball can't be this complicated!"

You see, Percy and I had stayed after practice. Instead of taking the nets down after practice like I usually did, I just decided to teach Percy a little volleyball.

It's not going very well.

"You just have to get it over the net!" I exclaimed.

"I couldn't pass that!" he defended.

"Set it then." I suggested.

He huffed and jogged over to the ball. He picked it up and turned to me.

"Can I please serve it?" he asked stretching the please.

"No"

"Why not!" he asked.

"Because it usually ends up hitting me in the head!" I exclaimed.

He smiled.

"Then I guess we'll be even then won't we?"

He threw the ball in the air and hit it to the other side. I bent down and setted it to him. He passed it back, and it went on the opposite court.

"Percy!" I exclaimed.

"I'm sorry!" he apologized "I'm not exactly Little Miss Volleyball Team Captain! And I thought volleyball was a girl's sport!"

"Guys play volleyball too Percy."

"I don't know any guys who play volleyball!"

"Percy," I said," Camp has a volleyball court."

"Oh whatever!" he exclaimed.

I brought the ball back to the correct court and set it to Percy. He passed it back. I had to run to get it, but it was still in the court. We passed it back and forth for a while.

I swore he was trying to hit it to the other side of the court than I was on.

"I'm finally getting it!" he exclaimed, proud of himself.

"Sure" I said setting it to him.

"What do you mean sure?" he asked.

"I have to run across the whole court to get it!" I said.

"No you don't!" he contradicted.

I had to run to the other side of the court to get the ball.

"Ok, so maybe you do" he admitted "but I'm getting better!"

I approached the net and spiked his ball. I hit the floor with a SLAM!

He looked at me with wide eyes.

"That could have been my face…" he said.

I pointed a finger at him.

"Don't make me mad then" I warned.

"Yes ma'am"

I picked up the ball that had rolled to me.

"Are you ready to try again?" I asked.

"Yup" he said.

We stared at each other for a while.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"For sure Annabeth."

"For sure?"

"For sure"

"Surely for sure?"

"Yes, surely for sure." he answered, annoyed.

"Surely surely for sure surely?"

"Annabeth" he warned.

"Ok," I said, "but are you positive?"

"Annabeth!"

He ran under the net and grabbed me. I laughed.

"ANNABETH CHASE I AM POSITIVELY SURELY SURE POSITVE SURELY POSITIVLY SURE!" he exclaimed as he shook me in his arms.

"But are you certain?" I asked in between laughs.

He stopped shaking me and gave me an exasperated look. I smiled and rose my eyebrow, waiting for an answer.

"You know what Annabeth? I'm not certain."

"But you're positive?" I asked.

"No" he answered.

He leaned down and gave me a kiss. He kicked the volleyball out of the way as we stepped closer.

"You're so annoying." he murmured against my lips.

I pulled away.

"Ditto"
