Sorry I couldn't update today! I had an upcoming science and math test, so I really had to study for them. Anyways, hi everybody! I hope you enjoy chapter 26…I made it cute as possible! Enjoy…and please review! :D

Percy POV:

I visited Annabeth every day. Somehow, I felt a huge connection with her. We'd agree on every single thing. It was night, and soon I was to leave to home. I stared at the little note that we wrote together a few days ago. It was written:

From now on, Percy and Annabeth should not be misunderstanding and being foolish. We will love each other and stay consistent. We are not going to break each other's hearts, and we're going to be good people who really are devoted to one another.

I stared at it. It was totally Annabeth's choice, and I thought it cute how she wanted everything official. Because that backs up proof, and that was super cute. She's the wise girl…she always has a plan in her brain!

I smiled, and soon Tyson scared me by tapping me in the middle of daydreaming Annabeth.

"Gosh, Tyson you scared me!"

"Percy…do you like Annabeth?"

"What?"

"Like…do you really like Annabeth? Like…really like her?"

I pause.

"My little brother's got a girlfriend!" Tyson giggles.

"Tyson, don't even start-,"

"He's growing up! Ha ha…the guy that used to love transformers-,"

"Tyson, I'm serious!" I giggle in a playful tone.

"Okay, your brother will stop. Because he's so nice!" Tyson says as if he's bragging.

"Yeah, Tyson is the best!" I retort.

"Dear, you didn't need to say that!" Tyson says in a mocking voice of Mrs. Patrick. He was laughing, and so was I. Mrs. Patrick is such a nice lady…but we like to make fun of her. Like…she just speaks so funny! Okay, I know making fun of someone else's voice isn't good…but you know! I know…sometimes I am not a good boy!

"Percy," Tyson says. "Good luck with Annabeth. Now, I need to meet up with Leo."

"For the sign?"

"Bingo. See ya soon!" Tyson says, grabbing his coat.

"Bye Tyson!" I shout. He closes the door, and I stare at the frame I bought. I took hours knowing how to print out pictures from a camera. And I finally mastered it! Gladly, I rummaged a frame, and put Annabeth's photo and me kissing. But not only that, but I also got to print out the first picture I took when I actually asked Annabeth out. I was glad she accepted it…

I was still a little upset that Annabeth wasn't here. The doctors had to still take care of her, and they predicted about a week later, she can get out of the hospital. Well, I smiled so happily…because Annabeth…I don't know. I really didn't know how she could ever…just…shine! Now, I really don't know what I am thinking of.

I heard a knock, and in came Mom.

"Sweetie…" she says, hugging me. I react towards the embrace by hugging her back.

"Hi Mom…what's up?" I ask.

"You asked me to talk about your father," Mom whispered. Then I remembered how I told Mom while she was making apple pie to tell me about Dad. More about Dad. Just more. Because Dad is wonderful.

"So…I wanted to tell you something. I was cleaning my bedroom, until I came across a diary. I was so stunned that your father, Poseidon, actually wrote a diary. It was so unexpected, because your father used to say diaries were stupid. I don't think so, but your father did. But he wrote one…how hilarious!" Mom squeals. Then, her eyes get teary. "Read this. I get emotional when I talk about him. Just read it, and tell me all about it!"

"Alright," I say, hugging Mom. She hugs me back, and soon lets me go.

"Dear…just read it, okay?"

"Okay…I promise."

"Even I hadn't read it. I think it deserved to be read by you…first…because I know Tyson is yeah all sorts, but you…I just wanted to let you get a glimpse of your father."

"Alright," I exclaim. Mom goes away, and I hold the diary in my hands. And I felt so connected. However, I was so lovestruck with Annabeth, I decided to visit her. This time…secretly.

Annabeth POV:

Mrs. Jones came back in, to tell me another story about Mom.

"So…how was my mom? Is there more stories?"

"Of course," Mrs. Jones informed.

"What are they?" I squeal in delight.

"Well…should I tell how your mother reacted towards love?"

"Love…sure."

"King Fredrick…well…he was a poor boy. But they went into the same school, because the Queen and King at that time wanted Queen Athena to-."

"Call her Athena…please…" I urge her.

"Fine, Athena. Athena went to a public school, and soon met Fredrick. Well…that time…it was when we were high-schoolers. Well, your mother didn't open her heart to any man. Because she knew that all they wanted to do was get fame and fortune."

"Gosh…that is horrible!" I screech.

"I know. So…she really didn't. Until she met King Fredrick. She started liking him when they were college students, and Athena really thought she was crazy. She kept pouring out how much she liked him, and soon…well…he fell in love with her too. They loved each other, and he was invited in the palace every single day. And every single day…King Fredrick is a bright man. So…they loved each other. And actually, they even dated. Soon…it came to the time when King Fredrick asked Athena to marry him. And she…of course…married him."

"Wow…that's so good that Dad really loved Mom."

"I know. And the press…I know deep in his eyes…that he doesn't mean those words. Because every time…he has a little down expression when he takes pictures with the new queen and princess or at press. But when he held you…and at the wedding when he kissed Athena…you don't know how happy he was. He looked as if he was the happiest man on earth. So Annabeth…don't believe those words. Just don't…okay?"

"Alright…I promise," I promised. She hugs me, and soon she leaves. I look at the stars. I should really start stopping that habit…but the stars look so beautiful. I am seriously loving the stars! I start to feel sleepy, until I was alerted by the door creaking. I quickly grab my pillow till I see Percy putting his hands up.

"Annabeth…calm down!" he whispers. I freeze, and soon he scoops me up and gives me a princess ride.

"Percy…where are you taking me?"

"Just somewhere…" Percy smiles devishly.

"Percy-,"

"Ssh…Annabeth…please stay quiet."

"Excuse me?"

"Just be quiet."

And I silence myself. Percy walks up the stairs, till I am brought up the room. I see the bright stars, and two chairs seated down.

"Percy-,"

"Sit down. Oh…I thought you loved stars! I got blankets prepared, so you can stay warm."

"Percy-,"

"Sit down," he says, placing me on the chair.

"I…thank you," I say, feeling so emotional.

"You're welcome," he says. I peck him on the cheeks, and he smiles at me.

"Wow Annabeth," he grins.

"What?" I ask in a playful tone. He squints at me, and after that we take a moment to look at the stars. I suddenly heard clicking sounds, and stared at him. He smiled at me, and I felt so supspicious. But whatever. Anyways, I stared at the night sky till I felt a little drowsy.

Percy POV:

Thank you Tyson! Before I left, I remembered that Tyson gave me the bracelet I asked him to make. And he made it so beautiful. It had only one charm, and it had a super heart, that had a smiley face inside it. I smiled at it, and once I thought about it when I was next to Annabeth, I quickly found it on my pockets. Whew, now I can give it to her. My first gift.

Then I realized her looking at the stars. She looked so beautiful, that I took out her camera. Okay…long story short, I asked permission to Leslie to use her camera. Done. Now, I snapped a picture, and she quickly turned. Good thing I quickly pulled it back for her to not see. Yay!

Anyways, I had to give her the gift. As she looked at the stars again, I quickly took it out, and put it on Annabeth. Annabeth stared at her wrists, and saw that.

"Percy…"

"Just a gift of gratitude," I say. And after that, she kisses me.

"Thank you," she whispers. And then I carry her back to the bed, for her to sleep. And I left, to go sleep myself.

Liked it? Hope so…well, please review! :D
