I enter the training room at 6:58.

Two minutes pass, everyone is here except Percy and Annabeth.

Weird.

"It's 7:00. Where are Percy and Annabeth?" Frank looks at his watch.

"Maybe they were doing the dirty." Leo wiggles his eyebrows.

I took my eyes.

They wouldn't do that...right? Well...maybe-

No! That didn't do it.

Right?

"Why don't we wait a little bit longer. They could just be down the hall." I say unsure.

Everyone nods.

7:03

Still no Percy or Annabeth.

7:13

"Where are they?!" I groan.

"Why don't we go check in there rooms." We all walk out.

Then I remember.

"Wait!" They all turn around to look at me.

"Percy was in Annabeth's room last." Leo snickers as I say that.

"Yeah, not suspicious at all." He smiles wider.

I sigh.

"Just come on." We walk out to Annabeth's room. And before we open the door. We hear light snoring.

All of us can't help but smile.

I slowly open the door.

Percy and Annabeth are sleeping. Percy's in the inside while Annabeth is on the outside. Both of them are facing towards us, asleep. Then I notice Annabeth's holding Percy's left hand with her right.

I couldn't help but snicker. And I can tell the others can't as well.

Then Annabeth begins to stir.

All of us stop.

Not moving.

Not breathing.

Then I notice Annabeth turns around to snuggle into Percy's chest.

I resist the urge to squeal.

It's like that for a moment until Hazel whispers.

"We should probably wake them up. It'd be pretty weird if I woke up and saw my whole team and teammates staring down at me while I was sleeping."

We all nod in agreement.

"I got dis guys."

Leo walks closer to the bed.

"AYE, LOVEBIRDS! NAPTIME IS...OOOVVVVEEEERRRRR!"

They must be heavy sleepers because they barely moved and inch.

Then I see Annabeth start to move.

"Mmm...Wha-" then she must've saw herself snuggling into Percy's chest and screamed.

And her being on the outside.

She falls off of the bed, hitting her head against the night stand, and landing on her right shoulder causing us to hear a sickening crack.

Right as Annabeth made contact with the floor and that sound came, she started to groan and clench her shoulder.

"Annabeth! Are you ok?!" Percy pears over the edge of the bed.

"If you count head bleeding," she pulls her hand from the right side of her head, "shoulder probably dislocated, fine. Then, yes." She winces as she tries to get up.

"Here let me help you." Percy gets off the bed.

Annabeth waved him off.

"No, no. I got it." She gets up gritting her teeth.

"Um...who did that?"

"Look to Santa's little helper." She takes her eyes off of Percy and to Leo.

Leo tries to look innocent.

Or at least as innocent as you can look when you look like you can burn down the house.

Percy glares at him then gets his attention back to Annabeth.

"Uh, hows your shoulder?"

He touches her right shoulder and she pulls away quickly.

"Here, let me check." Percy gets closer as Annabeth scoots back.

"Come on, I'll just check it out. It'll be quick." Annabeth hesitated then she gave in.

He slowly pulls up her sleeve.

Once it's up all the way, Percy gasps.

"What? What is it?" Annabeth looks over.

"Dislocated." Annabeth groans.

"I'll just put it back in place." Percy straightens out her arm.

"Out on the count of 5. Ready?"

Annabeth nods.

"One...two..." Percy sets it and Annabeth pulls away with clenched teeth.

"What ever happened to 3, 4, and 5?!" She bends over.

"You would've expected it." He says with a straight face.

Annabeth regains her posture.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." She plays off. "Good, good. Ok, so let's go do this." She starts to walk off.

Percy grabs her right shoulder. Accidentally. I think.

Annabeth winced for a split second then goes back to a perfect poker face.

"Annabeth." Percy pleads.

Annabeth turns to look at him slowly.

"Yes?"

Percy and Annabeth stare at eachother.

And stare.

And stare.

And stare.

"Ugh! But why?!"

"You need it, Annie." Annabeth winces at the nickname.

I'm pretty sure everyone saw it, but Percy is the one who brings it to attention.

"Everyone. Can you leave us alone for a little bit. Me and Annabeth need to talk." It was more of an order though.

"Annabeth and I."

I could hear Annabeth mutter.

But anyway, we all clear out of the room.

But we don't leave.

We all go against the door and wall and stay, listening.

At first, it's quiet. Then you can start to hear voices rapidly increasing. Then a voice shouts.

"Just drop it, Percy!"

And a door burst open and an angry Annabeth comes out.

"Why should I? I need to know what's happening?!" Percy camped out right after her.

Annabeth swings around fast. "No, you don't! You don't need to know what going on! And besides, I doubt you'd understand."

"Maybe your right! Maybe I won't understand! But I won't know if you don't tell me! Just tell me." Percy ask angrily.

"No! I promised myself I wouldn't say a word. And it's not gonna end because of some boy! So can you just back off!"

Annabeth sighs.

"Please, just not now." She almost whispers.

It's silent for a few seconds.

Percy opens his mouth, about to say something. But gets cut off by the intercom.

If Annabeth Chase could come down to Ms. Ramirez' office please, and thank you.

It's quiet for a few more.

"Well, I'd better get dressed. Go on without me. I'll catch up." Then she walks into her room and shuts the door.

It dead silent again.

"So..." Leo starts.

"Who wants some of Chef Leo's Famous Breakfast Tacos?"
