A/N: Do I have homework? Yes. Am I going to do it? Yes. Now? No way!

Sorry about the sad parts etc. Enjoy!

Annabeth's POV:

I woke up warm. The quilt was large enough to fit over both of us. Percy's feet were tangled with mine. One arm was settled on my hip and holding my hand, keeping me steady. His breath on my neck tingled as he continued to sleep. His chest on my back made it feel like electricity dancing on my skin. I swear, I could have stayed like that forever if I could.

How long we were asleep, I had no clue.

I dozed off to and from unconsciousness as I lay in his arms. Eventually we got up.

"Morning Wise Girl." He smiled and turned me onto my back.

"Morning." I said but before I could continue, his lips were on mine. "I take it your conversation… With Sally… Was good…" I was able to make out between his kisses.

"Wonderful." He breathed and then rolled over and grabbed the backpack. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"What was that?" I couldn't help but laugh.

"I love you." He said and went through the bag for food. "I got an old doughnut and suspicious looking half bag of orange and yellow gummy bears."

"Anything is fine." We split the food and drank a bottle of water.

We packed up camp and set off. The quilt was easy to fold back up and our water was good to refill in the spring. Percy helped me up and we went off.

The gravel tunnel we were walking in now turned into a thick sewer tunnel. The air was hot and humid. At odd moments, crack in the wall would let out steam and blow hot air into our face. Sweat was dripping down my back quickly and Percy's arm was stick around me. The air hurt on my burn and made my head throb like a headache.

"What did you and Thalia talk about?" He asked. What was I supposed to say? That I told her my final goodbyes in case we don't make it out? Now she knows what to say to my dad, Athena and what to say to Chiron and everybody else. Athena gets a piece of my mind, sending us off on this stupid quest.

"I just got an update for camp." Which was the truth. "Reyna is getting close. It's getting ugly. Camp is preparing for war."

"That lady is crazy."

"Reyna? Yeah, tell me about it." He scoffed.

"What did you talk with Grover about."

"I just wanted to talk with him." That was a lie. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him squirm a bit.

"Why did you lie?"

"Why would I lie?"

"Because you are afraid."

"Of what?" He spat. We stopped and he shot me an ugly look.

"What are you not telling me?" I said. We faced each other square on in the face.

"I'm telling you everything."

"Perseus Jackson, I have known you long enough to know when you are lying!" I said. He frowned and crossed his arms. "Please, tell me!"

"Do you really want to know?!" I haven't ever heard him this cross. His voice was loud and kind of scary as he towered. The look in his green eyes was either annoyance or anger. I wasn't sure but it scared me to see that in him.

"Yes!" We shouldn't be fighting like this when we could die any moment. "I think that we should trust each other."

"Oh yeah? Well how come you lied when I asked about Thalia?" He snapped, eyes wide. How did he know?

"I didn't-"

"Oh, Annabeth Chase, I have known you long enough to know when you are lying!" He clenched his fists and his tense arms were trembling.

"Yeah? You really want to know what I told her? I told her my goodbyes, okay?" I said.

"Did it ever occur to you that I told my goodbyes to Grover too?" I had no good comeback. "Annabeth, when you hit me with that ridiculously hard rock, I had a dream. Annabeth, both of us died and Gaea rose. We failed… I failed you." The only the thought that he was thinking the same thing as me. Several seconds of silence passed and we looked into each other's eyes. His anger toned down and now the green in his eyes was kinder. A puff of hot air plastered his black hair onto his forehead.

"Oh Percy!" I don't know why he wouldn't tell me earlier. Yeah it was scary, but not all demigod dreams came true… right?

Percy rushed forward and held me in his arms quickly and another squirt of hot air blew into my back and pressed us closer together.

"Annabeth, I didn't want to worry you." He said. The muscles in his back expanded and contracted with each breath.

"We are going to get out of here alive you know. It's going to be okay." I tried but the look on his face didn't convince either of us.

"I'm sorry." Percy said. His nose was soft against my neck and he smelled good.

"I know."

A/N: Alright, next one is going to be action-y packed. I wasn't planning for the fight between them, but it came out. I have no idea where it came from but it was perfect timing.
