Percy pov

The day passed surprisingly slowly. The company wasn't bad but Chloe was having a way to good time for my taste. Not that auch didn't like the idea of her being happy but it was the people that she spent time with that made me uneasy. I didn't like the idea of my sister spending to much time with people as famous and powerful as Piper Mclean.

Sadly my beloved sister was currently sitting between Piper Mclean and Hazel Levesque shooting selfies and gossiping. Now my feer was that one of the three girls would post a picture in Facebook and my sisters life was over. She would be stamped off as the girl who hung out with Annabeth Chase and Piper Mclean. If she had to be famous she should become it herself and not through others. I was unfortunate enough to receive some public interest because I happened to hang out with Annabeth Chase and was male. If pictures of Chloe and a group of superstars turned up online she would not have a single peaceful moment in her life.

It was bad enough that we had a semi famous mother who happened to write novels. The occasional date with the press on her side was not to bad but that already complicated things in my job life. Then the thing with Annabeth... I didn't need any more attention and neither did my baby sister.

"Is everything alright." Annabeth asked softly, stepping next to me.

"I think so. It's just that-"

"-maybe Chloe doesn't know what she is signing up for." Annabeth finnished quietly.

"Something like that." I admitted. Suddenly I became aware of how close Annabeth and I were standing, so close that our arms were touching.

But a heartbeat later the moment was over and Annabeth approched her sister, "Piper, sorry to interrupt but could we walk together…. alone."

Piper smiled kindly and nodded. "Of course Annabeth."

Piper pov.

After insisting that Percy and Jason didn't come with us Annabeth and I left the room and walked down the hallway. "You wanted to talk to me?" I asked innocently.

Annabeth stayed silent for a moment but then answered. "Yes?"

I hit the down button on the elevator and grabbed Annabeth's hand. "A few weeks ago you offered me to approch you if I developed a deeper form of affection for someone."

"Yes?" I pressed gently and the elevators doors opened. We stepped in and started our jurny downstairs.

"Well, I have reason to believe that that is the case." She admitted.

I did my best to keep a straight face. This was going to get interesting. "You seem to have spent a lot of time with Percy." I helped her along.

"Yes, the thing is I don't mind having him around me all day." She sounded as if this was some challenging equasion.

I decided to let her do the conversation and keep her on track, "You don't usually like having people around you all day? Does that count for me too?" I asked.

Annabeth groaned, "No it doesn't. Your not helping." Annabeth complained.

I suppressed the urge to giggle, "Then let's get straight to the topic at hand. You have a crush on your bodyguard. Trust me, I can relate to that. I'm currently sleeping with mine...among other activities."

Annabeth made a face, "Thanks for that early peace of information."

I covered my mouth with my hands in mock shock. "I didn't tell you."

Annabeth obviously missed my sarcasm. "No, you didn't."

"Okay, just say it out loud." I told her.

"Okay, I think I like Percy." She admitted.

"And you want to tell me what to do?" She nodded.

"I assume you havn't told Percy?" She nodded again, "No, I havn't."

I sighed and waited for her to continue but she stayed silent. "Do you think he likes you too?"

Annabeth shrugged, "Why should he?"

I rolled my eyes, "Your beautiful, smart, gentle and kind."

Annabeth crossed her arms and hugged herself. "You really think so?"

I suppressed the urge to bang my head against the wall, "Duh." I bumped my shoulder against hers.

"The problem is that even in the unlikely case that he likes be back he would reject me because of professional reasons." Annabeth pointed out.

I took note of the fact that she still though that Percy probably didn't like her.

Smartest girl on the continent: Check

Self esteem issues when it comes to her crush: Check

Of course I knew nothing for sure but I guessed he liked her back. I mean why wouldn't he. Although Annabeth was undeniability a handful she was the sweetest, most loving person you could imagine if you let her, at least in her own way. There was that occasional display of affection or trust that made all the headaches that she caused worth it and yes, Ms Annabeth Perfect Chase could give you the migraine of a lifetime.

"Why don't you wait for the right moment and tell Percy how you feel about him? Don't ask him out, just tell him and then drop the subject. Let him make the next step. You should get closer and more familiar with him."

Annabeth bit her lip. "Are you sure?" I chuckled, "Yes, just wait for the right moment though." Annabeth nodded but I wasn't sure if she could tell a good moment from a bad one.

We contiued walking through the hotel and then found ourselves sitting down at the bar aria. I ordered a cocktail and Annabeth, Annabeth ordered a soda. "How is your work going?" I asked curiosily. Yes, I admit it. I Piper Mclean had subscribed to pretty much all journals and magazines that related to my sisters work in a attempt to keep track of what she did. Well that and I was always hopefull that there would be an article in which Annabeth appeared. When she did I somehow always ended up boasting about my beloved sister to my friends.

"I am nearly finnished with my thesis and will probably earn my doctors titel soon." She informed me.

I beamed at her, "Congratulations, what is it about exactly."

Annabeth looked pretty pleased with herself, "Basically I am inventing ways to create very stable magnetic fields."

I nodded, "For what would you need that?" I asked.

"Have you heard of thermonuclear reaction?" She asked.

I nodded feeling pleased with myself, "It's the same thing that happens in a hydrogen bomb, right?"

Annabeth smiled, "Exactly, but it's also the same thing that powers stars like our sun. Now we are trying to harness that energy to create electricity and for that we need very stable magnetic fields. At the moment our magnetic fields aren't stable enough but I think I found a way to solve that problem."

I nodded, "Sounds interesting."

We contiued catching up for another hour or so before heading back upstairs. I found myself smiling happy, this had not only been the first good conversation I had with my sister in weeks but also our first real boytalk.

Chloe pov.

When Annabeth and Piper returned from their sister-sister catch up session Hazel grabbed her acoustic guitar and I became witness to something very special. I became the first fan to hear a new song called 'Timeless' that Piper had resently written.

After Annabeth glanced at the music sheet for a second or two she assembled her silver flute and lifted it to her lips. Annabeth played a few lines from memory and after a few seconds Hazel joined in and the two played the song. I couldn't believe that this was the first time Annabeth had played this song but here she was, filling the room with a beautiful and hopeful melody. When the song was over she set her flute aside.

"That went well." Annabeth commented shortly. I mannaged to not look to impressed. I had once seen her play on stange so I knew she was good and now like this...

"Hey Chloe?" Piper quietly addressed me while Hazel and Annabeth went through a list of songs making sure Annabeth knew all of the songs they were going to play.

"Yes?" I whispered back. Piper held out a golden cards to me.

"Is that a VIP ticket?" I asked.

Piper grinned, "Backstage pass. Seeing as you are my sister crushes sister I thought you should be allowed backstage." She winked at me and I slipped the card into my pocket.

Piper sat down on the desk next to me. Selina and Thalia quickly joined us and we listened as Annabeth displayed her other gift and Hazel wasn't exactly bad at what he did either, the only problem was that she was constantly blushing because her boyfriend Frank was sitting behind her and kissing her cheek and whisper stuff into her ear, probably very inappropriate stuff.

"We should head down to the stage and check things out for ourselves." Thalia announced. Selina brightened up and Thalia and I exchanged a look. We both knew what she was excited about.

I glanced at Percy who was leaning against the wall next to Jason with his arms crossed and eyes closed as he listened to the music. "Percy?" I called over.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Thalia, Selina and I will be checking out the stage in central park. Can I steal your sister for that occasion?" Chloe gave her brother a pleading look but Percy didn't look convinced.

"I promise I won't do anything stupid or unbelievably immature and Jason will come with us!" I was ashamed to admit that I said that part and not Chloe. Percy glared at his little sister who didn't seem fazed in the slightest. I had to admit that I was a bit impressed, Percy did look kind of intimidating.

Finally Percy's featchers softened, "Okay, don't get in trouble Chloe." Chloe beamed and hugged her brother. We quickly explained to Annabeth, Frank and Hazel were we would be going and were on our way before something unfortunate happened. So we stood at the elevator while Jason arranged our ride.

Once the doors closed behind us I got straight to business. "Chloe, I know from a reliable source that my sister is interested in your brother. Green light for operation Percabeth."

Chloe grinned while Selina squeeled. Thalia on the other hand looked slightly disgusted, "You want to pair up Annabeth with my kelphead of a cousin?" she asked.

Chloe smacked Thalia on the shoulder and I realized that the two girls knew each other. They were step cousins after all. "They are cute together, you can't deny that. Plus I think you are still sour about the pine cone incident."

"Ahm what was that all about anyway?" I asked. Thalia glared at Chloe, "It was nothing. I just had a simple exchange of opinion with Percy and Percy's adopted sister and team mate butted in after I helped Percy accsept my point of view as valid."

Chloe giggled, "Well you definitely walked away with her opinion while scratching peaces of pinecone out of your mouth." I fought back a giggle.

"It's wasn't that bad." Thalia insisted. Chloe grinned evily, "Really, well it's a good think I have a movie of it on my phone. That way Piper can judge for herself." Thalia's face truned white. "You filmed the whole thing?"

Percy pov.

I fought back a smirk as I listened into Frank's and Hazel's 'conversation'. Basically Frank was hitting on his girlfriend big time. In my back ground resurch I had learned that Hazel used to live in a church run orphanage. After a child abuse scandal came out and the feds busted the place it turned out that the nuns were raising a group of dimwitted, extremely conservative flock of future religious fundemanlits.

The children had gone through a series of rehab centers to adapt to normal life but Hazel was still extremely uncomfortable and shy when it came to physical stuff so I assumed she and Frank hadn't gotten past second base. So while Annabeth was working on her laptop the two had obviously forgotten that I was still standing quite close to him. I was quite impressed the verity of ideas Frank had and Hazel's nonstop blush became deeper and deeper. Frank pulled Hazel on his lap and made a whispered a very mature suggestion into Hazel's ear.

Hazel shuddered, blushed furiously and fanned her face. I rolled my eyes but stayed silent. Who was I to disturb their dirty talk. Hazel twisted around to her boyfriend and pecked him on the lips. I noticed Frank's hand sliding between Hazel's thighs and he nibbled Hazel's ear. It was rather obvious that Frank didn't have to much experience with girls either because by now Hazel didn't need any convincing. It would only need some privacy and the notion to save herself for marriage would fly off and never be heard from again. After all the two have been dating for two years and we're obviously sexualy frustrated.

I decided to help things along. "Frank?" I asked innocently. The two spun around and seemed to finally notice me. They turned pale when they realized that I must have heard everything. "Yes?" Frank caughed while Hazel burried her face in Frank's shoulder, utterly mortified. "I suggested you act like a gentleman and discuss these matters with your girlfriend in private. Perhaps you could move this to your room." They looked at me wide eyed but a second later the two were scrambling out of the room. I shook my head amused as the door closed behind the two lovebirds.

After a while Annabeth looked up. "Where are Frank and Hazel?" I kept my face straight, "In one of their rooms discussing privat matters." Annabeth shrugged, "Fascinating, would you mind reading over this?"

"Sure…" I sat down next to Annabeth. Over the last few weeks I had acquired a very basic understanding of her work and Annabeth occasionally bounced ideas of me. She pushed her laptop on my lap and I scanned over the text. I understood what she was writing about but the complex number charts still remained a mystery eventhough I know what the numbers stood for.

"It's alright I guess." I decided and returned the computer to its owner. "So I guess we are alone." Annabeth finally noticed. "I guess we are." Annabeth closed the laptop and turned on the TV. That surprised me. Annabeth never just watched TV. In her opinion time spent watching TV was dead time but I didn't complain. I found myself very aware of how close Annabeth was sitting to me. The lemon sent of Annabeth's hair was heavy in the air.

I couldn't stop myself from glancing at Annabeth every few seconds. Her featchers were graceful, her eyes sparkling and her lips looked very inviting.

A breath mental picture or me kissing those red lips flashed across my mind. Annabeth's body was toned and lean. It was obvious that she took took care of herself. I should know, I went jogging with her every morning and she came swimming with me two times a week.

Although Annabeth's curves wearn't to prominent she still had them and they looked delicious.

Just as unappropied fantasies including Annabeth crossed my mind, Annabeth hesitantly leaned her head against my shoulder and so we sat there. I awkwardly wrapped an arm around her shoulder and we contiued watching TV. This was a strange siduation to be in.

Piper pov.

Selina and I sat next to Chloe in the back of the limo and were laughing so hard that our stomach hurt. We had just finnished the video. I had always seen Thalia as this tough, cool girl which she of course was but this kind of changed the way I looked at her. After Thalia tasered Percy that Sophie girl had effortlessly overpowered Thalia and force-fed her the pine cone in front of the entire family.

Finally I mannaged to control myself and sat there gasping for breath while Selina was still holding her stomach. Thalia's face was red but at least Jason kept his cool. "I always look at this when I'm having a bad day." Chloe announced.

"Come on!" Thailand complained.

"Anyway back to the Percabeth." I decided. Selina scooted closer to us. Selina also shipped Percabeth, who would have guessed that?

Frank pov.

I sat down, facing my girlfriend. Hazel was sitting cross-legged and looked mortified. "I can't believe he heard us." Hazel whimpered. I sighed, yeah that was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't believe that I had forgotten that Percy was still there.

"At least he played it cool." I offered.

Hazel shuddered, "Yeah, Annabeth didn't pay attention anyway and I can't see him gossiping like Selina."

There was a uncomfortable silence that lasted a few seconds. Hazel blushed deeply, "Did you really mean what you said?" She asked.

"Huh?"

She blushed even deeper eventhough that shouldn't be possible. "I mean you often say stuff like that when we make out."

I laughed nervously. "I mean sure, I would like to do these things with you but you always made very clear that you wanted go wait and I thought I would just wait…."

"I wanted to wait for marriage and you know that. Are you saying you are planning on asking a special question soon."

I scratched the back of my head, "Well I want to spend a lot of time with you and I don't want to stay at first base for ever." I admitted.

We have been sharing a bed for the better part of a year but sadly we never got past kissing and some touching, chest was of course out of bounds. It wasn't as if kissing Hazel wasn't great. I had had a crush on her since I met her three years ago and Hazel already absolved a few performances on my mind but I never pushed her. I knew she had a sensitive past when it came to that.

Hazel stared at her hands, "I guess we could do some things apart from making out. We have been together for two years." She said quietly.

"What are you saying?" I asked, my mouth dry.

She shrugged. "Well, I won't just sleep with you. Leave that part to me but I guess you can do some things apart from that."

I bit my lip, "So?"

She bit her lip. "Well, we've done a lot of kissing but… just think of something." I gulped as Hazel slowly pulled off her shirt reviewing her yellow bra.

I moved closer to Hazel and pushed her down onto the mattress. A moment later we where lying next to each other liplocked. Hazel grabbed my hand and guided it to her chest.

When my hand reached its goal my mind went blank. I broke the kiss and stared at Hazel. The next few minutes were filled with blushing, giggling and awkward groping. I decided that this was -wracking and 2. fun.

Chloe pov.

After another round of Percabeth planning and shooting dozens of selfies and group photos, the best of which we upload on Facebook and Twitter we reached central park or stopped in the middle of central park.

A good portion of the park was fenced off and suroused by security personal and I could see a huge stage being set up. "It's four days?" I said breathless. "Setting everything up can take that long. Especially when you set up a stange on open field." Thalia explained as we passed a security checkpoint. A handful of people were working on the stange and doing other preparations.

"Ohh my gosh. There is Charlie." Selina gushed. I exchanged a look with Piper who nodded. Here is another ship underway.

Annabeth pov.

I contiued leaning against Percy as I tried to watch TV. After a while I had linked my arm with his. Percy hadn't made any moves to stopp me but he hadn't done anything either. But this was exactly how far I wanted to take this or how far I was comfortable with taking this.

I glanced up at Percy and realized that he was staring at me but not at my face. What was he looking at? I followed his gaze and realized that he was staring down the cleavage of my tank top. Percy seemed go realize that he had been caught and quickly looked away after mumbling a apology.

I didn't say anything. I mean he was programmed to be interested in certain things. I never expected that he would be interested in my like that. However a simply natural physical attraction or attention didn't prove any sort of emotional attachment.

Although I didn't mind I knew that I had to react to this. Social protocol and stuff. Seeing as I didn't know how to react in such siduation I did the first thing that came to my mind. "Seaweed brain!" I scolded him. "I'm truly sorry Annabeth. That was totally out of line…wait what? Seaweed brain?" I shrugged, "It fits you, you're a Seaweed brain." I smiled to myself softly. For once I didn't care that my brain didn't work properly at the moment and hugged Percy's arm. Percy contiued grumbling under his breath. "Then your a Wise Girl." He decided.

"I guess that fits well enough." I admitted. Did we just really make up pet names for eachother. Silence fell and we contiued watching TV.

"Wise Girl, can I ask you something very unprofessional?" he finally asked. I bit my lip, "Sure..."

He hesitated, "I'm not really good at this, sorry."

Percy hesitated for a few seconds. "Could I take you out for dinner tomorrow?" I froze. Piper had forced me to watch enough cickflicks with her understand that Percy was perhaps asking me out on a date.

"Is this what you would call a date Seaweed brain?"

He hesitated again. "I guess you could call it that."

"Okay, I'll eat dinner with you." Suddenly I realized that I had just agreed to go on my first date, ohh crap.

So, this is all you will be getting for now. It's Annabeth's birthday in the next chapter. Percy doesn't know and Annabeth forgot because she doesn't care. Should be fun ohh and they will go out on a date. The concert is also coming up. I hope you have fun. I hope you all enjoyed the Percabeth.

Anyway, did you know that only 1 or 2% of all readers Review which is kind of sad. I mean a fanfiction author spends hours working in his free time so that readers have a few minutes of entertainment and then most readers don't even take the few seconds to review. No idea why.

Anyway, give me my usual feedback. Please Review.

Winter Wolf over and out.
