Update: I wrote this for April Fool's Day! It has nothing to do with the actual plot so you can skip this and chapter 12 which is merely an explanation for this one.
If you wanna read some nonsense that makes you think, like, 'WTF is this?' you can read this but if you wanna go on with the actual plot you can, just as I said, skip to chapter 13.
Hello, guys! :D Time for the big finale! Have fun! :P
When Annabeth woke up the sun was shining on her face.
She sat up and looked through the window. The snow had melted a little bit and the big red crab she befriended last night was sitting near the fence as usual.
With one look on her phone she smiled. Two new texts from her boyfriend, Luke.
Last night she had called him and asked for a fresh start. Why? Because that thing between her and Percy was going nowhere. They both were not capable of having a relationship with each other while they still liked other people (and were afraid of their feelings).
Quickly, she dressed and headed to the kitchen where her dad and new stepmom were eating breakfast. She ignored their good-morning-my-precious-daughter greetings and made herself a sandwich.
About ten minutes later she jogged down the road to Luke's apartment, listening to her favorite band, One Direction. She loved their music, just as much as Justin Bieber and his. But what she found more important than their songs was their looks. They were soo cute.
By the time she arrived it was already noon. The sun made her newly brown colored hair shine like ham in a pan and the barks of the trees were communicating with it. She guessed they thought to have found a new family member.
She climbed the stairs up to Luke's apartment where he was already waiting. He was wearing a pink coat and unicorn-shaped boots and his hair was died green. Annabeth liked his new style.
Together they went outside again and walked towards Central Park. People were looking funny at them but neither of them cared.
"Holy crab," Luke suddenly burst out. He pointed in the direction of a bench with two people sitting on it but that was not the strange note about the situation. The crab from Annabeth's garden fence was talking to the pair and freaked them out as hell.
"Walter!" Annabeth yelled and gained the crab's attention. "Come here now or I'll put you back into the water, Walter!"
Walter the crab obeyed and stalked over to her side. She stroked it and with one hop jumped on its back, holding out a hand to Luke to help him up onto the man-sized creature which then started to take them on a walk through Manhattan.
Percy liked his new pet. Joseph was a big blue lobster with green stripes and longish fiery red hair behind his eyes. Last night after his failed attempt to call Annabeth Joseph had shown up at his window and looked like he was starving so Percy let him in and gave him food.
At first he wasn't sure what to feed him, though. Did lobsters eat fish? In the end he just gave him salad since he knew lobsters were served with that. Apparently, Joseph seemed to like that.
The next morning Percy took Joseph to the mall. He didn't mind the people giving them weird looks, he considered Joseph and he were friends and no matter what he stood up to his friends.
He bought a whole basket of salad and some coke for them and as soon as they were out of the store he jumped on Joseph's back and took a ride to Central Park.
But when they arrived at his usual picnic spot there was already someone there. Two people and a giant red crab, in fact.
"Annabeth," Percy said, "and Luke."
"Graaaah," Joseph said, although Percy wondered if 'graaaah' was a lobster's natural sound.
The giant crab had heard Joseph and looked alarmed. Suddenly it jumped up and came running toward them, followed by Annabeth. Luke was still sitting on the picnic blanket, holding a hot dog halfway to his mouth which stood wide open.
Percy quickly left the lobster and hid behind a tree.
"Walter, stop it!" Annabeth yelled at the crab as it attacked Joseph.
But Walter didn't listen to her. He and Joseph were having a hard fight now, clinging onto each other as they rolled down a hill and with a great splash landed in the lake. They didn't come up again so Percy left his hiding spot and stood beside Annabeth who was still gazing in shock at the water.
"I assume they won't come up," Percy said.
Annabeth turned to face him and all of a sudden hugged him tight. He hugged her back and whispered reassuring words into her ear, like 'They'll probably become fond of each other and have a family'.
Annabeth took half a step back to look him in the eyes. "Seaweed brain. Look at their names. Walter and Joseph. Do you think they can have kids?"
"Umm... no," Percy said and grinned. He couldn't stop grinning. He was still with his arms around Annabeth which was kind of a comfort since he lost Joseph.
So he did the natural: He kissed her.
And that was when a meteor showed up, shouted "Hello, everybody!", crashed into the ground and wiped all life out.
Fin.
THE BIG FINALE. I think it's good the way it is. Don't you think?
Tell me what you think about it and whether I should still write an epilogue! :D
Love you all :*
