The next day

Annabeth POV

I opened up my locker, and found a note inviting me to join my old friends and go to the mall later that day. I decided to go against it, since I have no interest in the mall and that Percy was the only one who would have invited me.

Once I finished my homework, I started watching TV. I found a show about the Eiffel Tower, when my phone buzzed. I checked it, and saw Thalia calling me.

"Where are you?" asked Thalia, "Where's Percy?"

"I'm at my house watching TV," I said, "And Percy's not here. Why are you asking?"

"Because his mom's saying that he got in a car crash just as he left the apartment," explained Thalia

"Then why are you asking me these questions?" I asked

"Uhhh," replied Thalia

I rolled my eyes. It was typical of Thalia to check up on me if anything happened to Percy.

"What hospital is he at?" I asked

"I think he's at the one near the apartment," said Thalia

"Thalia," I sighed, "There are like a dozen hospitals near his apartment."

"Right," said Thalia, "Um, I'll get back to you on that one. Text you the address."

"Okay," I said, and started to head to my room.

"Annabeth, why are in a hurry?" asked my dad, when I almost bumped into him

"Percy's hurt, dad," I said, "I'm going to the hospital."

"Do you know which one?" he asked

"Thalia's finding out for me," I said

"Ok," replied my dad, "give Percy my wishes."

"Of course," I said, before kissing him on the cheek, and going into my room to change.

My phone buzzed just as I sat in my car.

He's in the hospital with the big staff thing in front it said

That big staff thing in front is a caduceus Thals I replied, before turning on my car and heading to the hospital.

When I got there, I speed walked to the receptionist and asked for Percy's room.

"Room 243," she replied, "It's on the second floor, all the way down the third left on the right hallway from those stairs."

"Thanks," I said, before half-speedwalking/half-running to the stairs she pointed to.

I went up the stairs by two, before going down the right hallway. I took the third left, and went all the way down, before reaching room 243. Oddly enough, this part of the hall looks almost deserted to me.

I opened the door, and found Sally, Paul, Thalia, and Nico all there. Percy was still on the hospital bed, but he was looking great for a guy who just got into a car accident.

"What happened?"I asked, "Percy, how are you healthier than you should be? Who did this?"

"Relax, Wise Girl," said Percy, "One question at a time. As for the first one, I got in a car accident at the intersection right outside my apartment."

"As for the second question," said Paul, "this doctor came in and gave Percy what looked like a lemon square."

"But it tasted just like Mom's blue chocolate chip cookies," added Percy

"That's impossible," I said, "nothing is as good as her blue chocolate chip cookies."

Okay, I'll admit that they are the best things in the world, but no one else can make it like she can.

"And as for the third question," said Thalia, "Nico and I both think it was Luke who did this."

"How do you know it's Luke?" I asked, "Did you get a video or something?"

"Well, he told Percy once that if he moved away or transferred," said Nico, "than he'd regret doing so."

"I'll take it," I said, "But that still doesn't explain how Percy's looking better than he should be."

"I think the doctor did something with it," said Paul, "Sally, what was his name?"

"I don't think he said his name," said Sally, confused

"Didn't he have a name tag or something?" asked Thalia

"I don't think so," said Nico

"He didn't do either," said Percy, "he wrote down what he did."

"Did he?" asked Sally

"I think so," said Percy

They all looked really confused as if they were trying to remember something that was taken or erased from their memory banks. (Hmmm…)

"Anyways," I said, "We've got to do something about this."

"Well, you could always challenge him to a duel," said a voice behind us

I turned around, and there was a guy in a wheelchair. He looked around thirty or so, and his brown hair was already thinning.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" asked Sally

"Allow me to introduce myself," said Chiron

"Yes, please," said Thalia, "like we're going to be the ones introducing you."

"Thalia," Percy and I growled, and I'm pretty sure both of us blushed

"That's okay," he chuckled, "My name is Chiron Brunner. Others call me Chiron or Mr. Brunner, but nothing else; except for the occasional delusional horse, but that's another story. As I was saying, you could always challenge him to a duel. Once you're feeling better and got some practice that is."

"Why would we want to challenge Luke to a duel?" I asked, "We've never been around medieval weaponry. Never."

"Oh, I'm sure you four will be naturals," he said, "but I'm afraid I'm going to have to talk to your natural parents, and only natural parents, about letting you come to my camp with me."

This is bad, because all four of us have only one natural birth parent living with us. None of us know where the other one is, and Thalia has never been on good terms with her mother since the death of Jason.

"I don't think my mother would mind that much," said Thalia

"I'm going to have to ask my mother," said Nico

"Mom?" asked Percy, questioningly

"I guess you can go, honey," said Sally, "but I want to know about this camp before I really agree."

"I'm going to have to ask my dad," I said

"Well, let's get those phone calls in, shall we?" asked Mr. Brunner

I'll skip the whole story, since it's too long to cover at the moment. Long story short: I, along with all my friends, were demigods (though they knew before me); Luke turned out to be working for Kronos; Percy, Thalia, and Nico turned out to be cousins; all three of them got a prophecy depicting them saving or destroying the world as we know it; and in the end, we won and Percy and I became a couple.

"Still sharing our stories to the young ones, huh Annie?" asked my fiancé (yes, we're due to be married in 6 months)

"They kept pestering me to tell them," I said, "annoying little buggers they are."

"They're not that annoying," replied Percy, before whispering, "Besides, you won't be saying that in about 15+ months."

"I'm surprised, Percy," I said, "You can do math and know about the human body. I'm impressed."

"Well, then," he replied, turning around, "I might have to rethink this whole engagement if you keep pestering me so."

"Oh, come on," I said, making him look at me, "You know I love you and don't really mean those things."

"Maybe," he replied leaning in, "but I'm going to need to make sure of that."

"I'll make sure you'll make sure of that," I breathed before closing the gap.

Here's the rest of the story. I still need help thinking of a title. I got some good ones in the last bunch of reviews, but I know they weren't that good considering it was based on only half the story. Hopefully, with both halves up, I'll get better titles for this two-shot. Thanks!
