Chapter 35: Fake Kisses and Real Kisses

So the other day I had a weird dream that I was helping out an event that RR was coming to and then he gave me the first copy of The Son Of Neptune, and you bet I was hella excited. But however just as when I was about to open the book, I was rudely awaken by my sister and found out it was all a dream… how I wish it was true….

UPDATE AS OF OCTOBER 3rd, I forgot to give credit to my so called brother (cousin actually) who contributed in writing this chapter with me :D

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson, but I wanna read the SON badly….. *sigh*

Annabeth's POV:

I woke up and tried to take in my surrounds and realized two things. One, we were still on the ride and it's almost 9. Two, I am leaning on a sleeping Seaweed Brain. I tried to control my breathing, 'How'd I even fall asleep?' Then I remembered how he asked to sit down with him.

"Please don't let go." I remember him asking me and gripping my hand just before he blacked out.

I freaked out, "Percy? Percy?" I asked again and again. Even as he fell asleep he held on tightly to my hand. His hand was warm, almost too warm. 'Could he have a fever?' I wondered. I leaned in deeper to him, 'I'm just giving him warmth not trying to stay close to him,' I reminded myself over and over until I fell asleep holding his arms and leaning onto him.

I felt Percy stirred a bit and he opened his sea-green eyes that I've come to love. "You're awake?" I asked him.

"Now I am," He replied.

"Sorry, I must've woke you up." I apologize. "I'll get off you." I tried to get off him, but just at that time the cart decided to start moving making me trip and falling over him. I fell down right on top of Percy as the cart kept on moving, but I didn't even noticed because all I saw was those sea-green eyes. I felt my heart beating faster and faster. Our faces were only an inch away. The cart gave a little bump and as soon my lips were crashed into Percy's all logical thoughts in my mind went out the window.

His lips moved slowly against mines, and goose bumps seems to explode all over my body every time his lips brushed against mines. Slowly I returned the kiss as Percy suck on my bottom lip. 'I can't believe it we're actually kissing again! He is actually a good kisser which I always loved about him.' I thought. 'ANNABETH SNAP OUT OF IT HE PLAYED WITH YOUR HEART!' The logical mind of mines countered.

'But he is so cute with those green eyes and sometimes his not that of a pain in the ass. Also he can be nice and a gentleman too. Humorous and a little dumb.' I thought happily as Percy brushed his lips against mines again.

Percy deepened the kiss and wrapped me into a hug. I didn't push him off I just simply kept on kissing him bringing as he tightened his arms around my waist. Somehow Percy rolled me over and soon he was on top of me and we were furiously making out. I could feel his hands moving on my back sending chills down my spine. I moved my hand up to his hair and messed it up. Percy's lips were soft and warm, I could feel them inside me. Both of us kept kissed fighting for dominance as our tongues collided. We were both panting like crazy but I didn't want to break apart from this dream. He pulled me in tighter as we continued kissing.

Holding him near makes me feel happy and those months that we were alone I actually felt sad and alone. He was there to make me laugh, someone I can fight to, and someone I can show my brilliantness too. He leaned over to one side, Percy was slowly moving his lips down to my neck. Percy Jackson has succeeded in stealing my heart once again as much as I know that I should break away, I didn't want to. I was too drunk in happiness to actually realize what we were doing.

All of a sudden I heard someone clearing their throat, immediately all that happiness disappeared replaced by embarrassment, sadness, and a bit of resentment towards my cousin. "Uh…. "

I quickly realized what just happened and we both pulled away from each other. I took a glance at Percy and saw he was blushing like a red tomato, but then I probably was too.

"Uh…you told me to get you off…. So there….umm… you're off the ride." James said awkwardly. "Please continue with whatever you're doing, I am not here at all." My cousin let out a slight smile out of the corner of his mouth.

'I am going to kill him later.' I promised myself. 'Wait what..? Why do I want to kill him…..I mean I wasn't enjoying that…' I thought it over. "We weren't doing anything." I said trying to hide my blush.

"We- her….I-" Percy stuttered and I couldn't help but thought he was so cute when he's flustered. "The ride went through a bump and she feel on me. It wasn't anything, we weren't doing anything." Percy tried explaining and looking warily at my cousin as if James was going to beat him up if anything happens to me. Let's just say he's lucky it wasn't Mark that found us.

But I have to give it to him, not a lie, yet not the entire truth, but as he said that I couldn't help but felt a bit sad. However I just went along with his explanation, "I kind of tripped-"

James held up his hand and not doing a good job of holding in that smile, "Guys, make out all you want to, I have nothing against it just get a room next time."

I couldn't tell whose face was redder, mines or Percy's. "We weren't making out!" We yelled at the same time causing me to blush even more.

"Anyways while you guys sort out your undying love some other times-" James begin.

I glared at my cousin, but thought, 'Am I that transparent?'

James flattered, "I mean we should get you guys off and Mark already dropped off Bobby and Matthew and he told your parents that you're staying over at a friend's house." James paused. "For some reason your dad seems pretty okay with you staying with Percy…." He thought about it. One second. Two second.

"Anyways, Nico and Thalia should be coming soon they'll confess according to whatever your two friends did to them. They didn't seem to happy." James smiled.

"What did you guys do to them?" Percy asked with an edge of curiosity in his voice.

"That you have to ask the Stoll's, me and Mark only provide the stranger faces, the scheming however is your friends pride." James replied then looked down from the ride. "Looks like we have company." He pointed down into the ground where I saw two dark figure walking towards this way not looking that happy. "I will see you later, I think they want to kill me if they ever found out who I am." James quickly pulled me into a bear hug.

"You're getting naughty Annie." James whispered quietly so that Percy couldn't hear. "But if he dares hurt you, me and Mark are here for you."

I nodded thanks but then realized what James was talking about, "Hey-" But he already left. "This is what I get for hanging around you too much Seaweed Brain." I mumbled.

Percy looked up as he heard his nickname, "What?"

"Nevermind." I mumbled, 'UGH! BOYS ARE SO DENSE!' I wanted to yell. We went into an uncomfortable silence as I thought about what just happened. We sat down in different corners, I was scared to face him.

However I dared to looked over, Percy's face still blushing but at a more controlled shade. He looked up and saw my eyes resting on him and blushed a brighter shade. I quickly looked away, but that didn't stop stupid Seaweed Brain to open his mouth. "Umm… about…. You know….That…I-" He began.

"ARGHH! I'm going to kill those people! I SMELL LIKE SHIT!" Nico's voice came blaring though the ride.

"SHUT UP NICO! I'M COVERED IN SHIT!" Thalia yelled back.

I held in my laughter and saw out of the corner of my eye that Percy was doing the same, even though he still has that sad look in his eyes.

"It's not my fault! It's that stupid farmer and kidnappers that made us do that and we didn't even get the boys back! ANNABETH IS GONNA KILL ME!" Nico groaned.

"ARGH! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THOSE KIDNAPPERS THEY ARE DEAD I'LL CRACK THEIR NECKS AND MAKE SURE THEY FEEL PAIN!" Thalia yelled with a rather scary expression on her face.

I couldn't help but shuddered, 'No wait I'm suppose to be made at them not the other way around.' I told myself, still shuddering at the thought of Thalia wanting to kill us.

Nico seem to have noticed Thalia's anger and backed down a bit "Hey Thals, let's just calm down and try not to get kill as we explain to Percy and Annabeth how Bobby and Matthew are missing. Then somehow convince them that this was not a plan to get them together and that we just found Bobby and Matthew buying pizza and decided to take them in." Nico said. "Plus I need to have some excuse to save my ass from getting kicked by Annabeth." Nico added mumbling as I saw him walking near the control room.

I opened my mouth wide and looked at Percy who had a look of guilt on his face. 'Wait what! This was all to get us together!' I thought 'Why was Percy looking guilty?' I wondered.

I took another glance at Percy's guilty face, then something clicked in my mind, 'Did he know about this?' The blush left my face as anger replaced it. As I quietly crawled over near him I angrily whispered, "Did you know about this?"

He looked at me in fear as if I'm going to kill him, well considering how pissed I am I just might. "I swear I just found out." He tried to defend himself. I narrowed my eyes to detect any lie. "I'm serious," He whispered. "I didn't know until I heard Nico and Thalia at the bull run when you left early, but I wasn't sure I heard it right so…" He trailed off.

I continued to glare at him but then Nico spoke up, "What do you think they are doing in there?"

I saw Thalia at the controls trying to get the ride moving, "Kissing I doubt it," Thalia snort.

I stared at the floor nervously thinking of what just happened. I glanced nervously over at Percy who had a mischievous glint in his green eyes. He leaned over me a bit too close, our faces only about a centimeter away. I could feel my heard pounding at an unimaginable pace. He whispered in my ear, "We give them what they want."

I couldn't help but grin, both from getting back at Nico and Thalia and that… never mind. I took that thought out of my head, 'This Is just to get back at Nico and Thalia.' I assured myself.

I glared up at Percy, "Don't think I haven't forgotten about what you told me." I warned him, but inside I was actually smiling.

He stared at me nervously the confidence now gone from his face and nodded. "Come on The ride is working again, we just need to go and unlock the ride for them, seems like they are already at the door." Thalia informed Nico.

"What? THEN WHY DIDN'T THEY KILL US ALREADY?" Nico screamed.

"Maybe they're too busy making out?" Thalia said. "Fat chance though."

"Come on let's get them out quickly before they kill us." Nico said with a panicky voice.

I heard their footsteps getting closer and Percy leaned in closer to me, "Let's get this over with." He said as a blush crept on his face. I heard their footsteps coming in closer and closer and Percy smashed his lips onto mines once again and just for a second I felt as if I'm in heaven.

Percy continued kissing me as I heard the door creaked open but I didn't really care I was just busy kissing him back. I could've sworn I heard Thalia and Nico gasp. This have got to be the best day ever, well one of them being able to get back at Nico and Thalia, the other…. I'd rather not mention.

"Looks like your plan worked" Thalia managed weakly as we pretended to shockingly pull away.

I didn't have to pretend to blush because there's always a blush on my face as Percy pulled away from me with an identical blush on his face.

I looked up from where I was sitting and saw Nico jumping up and down. "OH YEA! MY PLANNED WORK WHAT NOW! NICO THE PRANKSTER! OH YEA! GO NICO GO NICO!" I cracked a smile as Nico danced around with his terrible fake singing.

"What exactly do you mean plan…?" I asked cautiously, glaring at him and pretending not to know.

"We….we uh….." Nico began then looked at Thalia for help.

"We'll they are together now, so they should thank us." Thalia half whispered to Nico thinking that we couldn't hear.

Nico turned to face me and Percy, "We are the one who made you do all those things…. But it's not like you didn't enjoy it right?" Nico quickly defended himself.

I pretended to try to cool down, "So where are my brothers…" I asked slowly.

Nico shifted his weight nervously, "About that…..um…we…we k-kinda…..lost them at…..the-"

Percy stood up in false alarm, "YOU WHAT?"

I have to give it to him, Percy can be a pretty good actor when he wants to, but I was not going to let him take all the credit. I 'angrily' stood up and took a threatening step towards Nico. "WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?" I yelled in his face causing him to shrink in fear. I bit my lip to keep my laugh from escaping.

Nico hid behind Thalia, "Hey Thalia…a bit of help?" He squeaked.

Thalia side-stepped away, "Oh no, I'm sorry Nico you're on your own." She quickly kissed him and backed away.

I glared at Thalia, "Don't think you are forgiven…. YOU GUYS BETTER FIND MY BROTHERS!" I yelled at them.

Thalia's face was something I never saw before. Fear. Yes, I made the great Thalia Grace fear me. Despite the situation that we're planning I tried my best to keep an angry face.

I heard Nico whimpered and glanced over at Percy who was trying to hold in his laughter, "WHERE ARE THEY THEN?" Percy yelled so angrily I nearly jumped back.

"Hey…" Nico said weakly. "Aren't you guys suppose to be all loving and kissing, and Percy is suppose to turn Annabeth less violent or something?" Nico offered and I couldn't help but blush despise out situation.

"Oh yea we were kissing," I tried to casually lean up and give Percy a slight kiss on his cheek. Afterwards I quickly linked my arms with him and returned another angry glare at Nico. "But you better find my brothers." I warned him holding out my fist. 'Oh gods! I just kissed Percy again, and we're acting like a couple! OKAY! This is all an act nothing big, calm down nothing big.' I assured myself, but with my heart beating at almost a million times a second was not really helping.

Percy somehow held better control of his emotions then me, "Listen Nico," Percy said dangerously calm, but I could've sworn I saw a blush coming up his cheeks. However he casually laid his arms on my waist almost causing me to flinch. "You find the boys before I decided to punch your guts." Percy warned.

"Aww come on Percy, you're not serious?" Nico tried to weasel his way out with a joke. "I mean your punches are weaker then mines right? And…. I also got you a good girlfriend Annabeth." Nico tried to kiss up to us.

"Kissing up is not going to work, Nico." I warned him.

"Well, we all know Percy can't punch me." Nico said, his confidence wavering a bit.

Percy's fake glare harden. "Try me and we'll see how much I can punch you." Percy stated angrily.

Thalia finally decided to stop being so fearful and stood up to her boyfriend's defense. "Hey guys, come on violence is not the answer. How about we go find them?" Thalia said trying to rub some dirt off her shirt.

"Fine." I huffed. Then as Nico and Thalia turned around to head out I gave Percy a slight nod and soon our two friends were fast asleep.

I smiled at the two couples that just got knocked out. Then with a shock I realized I was still holding on to Percy, my mind quickly flashed back to when we were just making out a couple minutes ago. I don't know what Percy was thinking but he blushed just as easily as me and we quickly pulled our hands away from each other.

"Uh…" Percy began, his wonderful acting skills now disappeared. "You sure you wanna do this to them?" He asked me.

"Positive, they totally deserve it." I smiled weakly, while my thoughts are still on a certain kiss that just happened.
