Ummm... Hello. I am not dead. The story is not over.... sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER. I've been so busy with synchronized swimming. I've flown to Seattle and Texas and traveled everywhere and the season's not even half way through! Next I'll be in New York and then back to Texas. We've had practice almost everyday leaving me no time to write. I will apologize with another taste of my book and a new chapter of PJOOC!!! Enjoy!!!

Ok, so maybe even daughters of Athena could do stupid things from time to time... (Actually happened to me. All of this actually happened. I am Annabeth and Emma is Percy but the cow tipping rant is mine! Mine I tell you!) So as it turns out it was Annabeth's own stupidity that got her into this mess. The younger Athenians had decided to put in a dog door at the back of the cabin so that when they frogot their keys they could just climb in through the dog door. Well, today was the one day that Annabeth had fogotten her keys so she figured that she'd just slip in throught the dog door like the little ones.

Annabeth had had some trouble with getting her shoulders in but after much contorting she was sure that the worst was over. She had her head and shoulders in the dog door now, to pull all the way through. She was caught. Her boobs were too large to fit through! But she was determined damnit! She wiggled and wiggled and got one boob in, painfully. And after much more painful wiggling she got the other one in! Yes! That was the widest part of her body! Surely it was home free now! This was easy! Her chest hurt like no other but that would pass. She was home free!

Annabeth's waist was skinny so she moved through a lot more with ease. Then her hips got caught. CRAP! She realized that her hips were just as wide as her chest. No problem, she had gotten her chest through, hips were no big deal. After 10 minutes of pulling she realized that hips were no where near as malliable as chests and that she was quite frankly, screwed.

No big deal! I'll just go backward! she thought. But as it turned out boobs are not shaped for going BACKWARDS through dog doors. Only forwards. Her abdomen ached with the effort to get out so she just laid there and tried thinking of a plan to get out. After 5 minutes nothing had come to her. She sighed and laid her head on the floor of the inside of the cabin. So close but yet so far...........

Someone opened the front door of the cabin.

"Annabeth?! You left your keys in the arena!" It was Percy. Oh Gods......

"Annabeth? Oh my Gods! What did you do?!" He cried hysterically. After a long and tearful laughing fit on Percy's end the room fell quiet.

"I think Chiron will have to come cut you out of the dog door." Percy said.

"Oh man....." Annabeth sighed.

*30 minutes later*

"You know what? I don't think I'd ever go cow tipping." Percy said thoughfully.

"Really? Why is that?" Annabeth said feining interest from her dog door.

"Because I'd feel too bad. What if the cow couldn't get back up again? I imagine all the cows going back to the farm except for Bessie. He would be stuck laying there."

"He?"

"Yeah, his name is Bessie even though he's a boy. It makes it sadder. But anyway, all the cows would go in except for Bessie the boy cow becuase he was tipped and he couldn't get back up. Then 3 months go by and the farmer finally realizes that Bessie is missing and goes searching for him all the while feeling bad for naming the poor boy cow Bessie. And when he finds Bessie Bessie is malnourished and underwaight with a ring of eaten grass around him. The farmer goes to pick him up and Bessie just falls back down because he's too weak! So they make Bessie into hamburgers! And it would be all my fault because I tipped Bessie the boy cow!" Percy said.

"Wow... And you JUST thought of this?" Annabeth said.

"Yeah." Percy said inoccently.

"Why would that ring of eaten grass even occur to you?" Annabeth asked. Percy shrugged.

"Well I'm going to try to get out of this thing backward no matter how bad it hurts." She said.

"Your bruised boobs I suppose. Chiron could just come and cut you out." Percy suggested.

"Nope." Annabeth pressed with all her strength. Boobs out!!! Shoulders!!! She was free!!!

"OWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled. Percy cracked up again.

"Shut up Seaweed Brain. I am going to go cry in a corner." Annabeth said as she walked into her cabin and shut the door behind herself.

"You have fun with that Owl Pellet Head." Percy chuckled. Chad ran up and hugged Percy's leg, "PLEASE WILL YOU GO COW TIPPING WITH ME?!?!?!"

"Bessie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Percy cried and ran to his cabin.

And now for my book snipet.

"Don't freak out. Just stay quiet. I'm not going to hurt you." Porthos whipped me around and put his hands on my throat so I was facing where my guardian's voices had come from. My heart rate sky rocketed. What was he going to do?!

"You guys were gone for a long time. Everything alright?" Mr. Elric said as he apeared at the other end of the sea cave cliff. Porthos's iron strong aarms were wrapped securely around my throat. I clawed at his hands for freedom. It was ture, he wasn't hurting me but that didn't make me any less scared. Mrs. Elric appeared at Mr. Elric's side. Porthos switched his grip on my neck pulling me closer to him and his forearm around my neck. He pulled us backward until we were right on the edge of the cliff.

"NO!!!" Mrs. Elric shreiked, "Come back! Please!"

Porthos didn't listen. "I'm sorry." he said.

He backed up further and leaned backward. We plummetted through the air and hit the icy swirling water below. We never came back up.
