~Annabeth~

We ended up going to Pizza Hut for dinner. It was pretty funny, showing up in a dress and the boys in tuxedos. We ordered two large pepperoni pizzas and sat down at one of the booths. For once today, we didn't get any special treatment or weird looks. Thank goodness.

"So, what's the plan for tonight? We could watch a movie or something." Luke suggested.

"That sounds cool!" Percy said.

"Let's do it. What movies do you have?" I asked. Luke thought for a moment.

"Oh! I have the whole Harry Potter set!"

"What's Harry Potter?" Percy asked.

"You don't know who Harry Potter is?" I asked, shocked.

"No."

"That's it! We are having a Harry Potter marathon tonight! Let's go." We got the pizza to go and drove to his house.

"There are some new clothes in the dressers in your rooms." Luke said as he went off to change. I ran to the one I was using and looked in the dresser. Oh my goodness.

The dresser had five drawers, all of which were full of clothes. I found the pajama's, and smiled. Sure Jewell made sure I had clothes, but none of them were as nice as this. Sure, they were just normal clothes, but to me they were more. They were something I liked, something that wasn't just thrown as my face.

I pulled out a white pajama tank top and pulled on some light blue pajama pants with rainbows on them. I brushed my hair and decided to leave it down. I looked in a short drawer and saw they were full of socks. I found a fuzzy, hot pink pair and pulled them on. Finally, I was ready watch the movie.

"Why are girls so slow?" Percy asked as I walked into the movie room.

"I don't know. Why are boys so ugly?" I responded.

"What about ugly boys?" Luke said, coming in carrying three bowls off popcorn. He handed one to each of us, and plopped down in one of the many reclining chairs. I sat down in the one to the left of Percy, and the movie started.

I swear, I have never had so much fun in my life! Luke and I shouted out spells along with the characters, debated over whether Draco Malfoy was good or bad- I say he is good- and I went into total fangirl mode. When Snape died in the Deathly Hallows, I burst out in tears and Percy actually had to calm me down! It was like an actual family night.

When the final second of the movies ended, it was about one in the morning.

"Well, you guys better get some sleep. We have to get up early. Huh, maybe this wasn't the best idea." Luke winked, then walked away. I turned to Percy.

"So, thought?"

"On what?" He asked.

"Harry Potter, Seaweed Brain!"

"Oh, duh!" I laughed, and threw a pillow at him. He caught it.

"Night, Wise Girl." He pecked my cheek and walked off to his room. Smiling, I did the same.

*Next day at the trial*

~Percy~

We walked into the court room. The feeling of last night, the happiness and playfulness, was now gone. It was replaced with nervousness and sorrow. Oh course, no good things ever last. We found a seat and the trial continued.

"Settle! Now, why don't we get right to it, shall we?" Hades said. A murmur of agreement spread throughout the room.

"Silence! Now, would our first witness and victim, Miss. Thalia Grace, please come to the chair?" I saw Thalia get up, and walk to the witness chair.

Thalia was wearing a white dress and black flats. Her hair was curled, and she had light blue eye shadow on. Wow, I was surprised Thalia even had make up, let alone a dress.

"Miss. Grace, please tell us your story."

"My pleasure, your honor. The gang and I, the gang being The Stolls, Katie Gardner, Leo Valdez, Nico Di'angelo, Frank Zhang, and Hazel Levesque, were walking down the road when a black vehicle pulled up next to us. It stopped, and a man got out. He grabbed us all and through us into the trunk. I had no clue where we were, but the vehicle drove off and I felt someone tying us up."

"Do you know who it was?" Apollo asked.

"Yes, it was Gabe and Jewell. I have no doubt in my mind."

"But you have no proof?"

"Just what I saw, your honor. Now can I get back to the story?" Yup, same old Thalia. Apollo nodded, and Thalia spoke.

"When we finally stopped, we were blindfolded and lead outside into a building. After being run into a few walls, we were thrown into a dark room. Our blindfolds were removed, and I knew it was those two over there."

"Miss. Grace, was anyone physically harmed?"

"Yes. We all got beat up a bit. Gabe used Katie's cell phone to call Annabeth and threatened to murder us all if her and Percy didn't turn themselves over. When they did, he tied us back to back and were tossed into the living room."

"What happened after that?"

"Well, Percy and Annabeth were tied to chairs. Gabe and Jewell decided to use the opportunity to beat up on them."

"Did anyone retaliate?"

"Geez! Don't the police tell you people anything? Yes, Annabeth retaliated."

"Thank you, Miss. Grace. Now, would-"

"Stop!" Jewel yelled, shooting to her feet. "I admit it. We did it, everything. We are guilty."

"What are you doing Jewell?" Gabe growled.

"Confessing. Now, how long in jail? Ten years?"

"Jewel! Shut up!"

"Well, I guess by the power in me, you are declared guilty. Mr. Jackson, you are sentenced to thirteen years in prison. Ms. Chase, we sentence you ten."

"No! I deserve thirteen."

"Um, ok then. Thirteen years in prison." Hades said, clearly confused on what had just happened.

Truth is, so was I. Gabe and Jewel confessing? What kind of joke was this?

"Annabeth, you are hearing this to, right?" I asked. She nodded, eyes wide.

"Um, so what now?" I asked Luke.

"Well, Jewell and Gabe will be put in prison. As for you two, I guess it's time to find you a home."

Sorry it's short, but its past 10 and I'm hyper and wanted to write but also am getting tired. Haha. So the next chapter will probably be the last chapter of the story, but don't worry! The sequel is on it's way!

It will be called When She Cries, like the song by Britt Nicole. That is actually what inspired me to write it! So if you want to get a glimpse at the story, go listen to the song.

Thanks for reading guys:) I love you all! Night:)
