I do not own the PJO characters. Also, I didn't get to post yesterday because I was busy. Oh, and happy birthday to Nico!

"Thanks Argus," Annabeth said as Argus dropped us off at Agape café. We then walked inside to be greeted by a wide-eyed Sara.

"Trish," she said as she walked in front of the counter and hugged me, "Thank goodness you're okay. When you didn't show up the one day my father and I were really worried. You always come here in the mornings."

"Um," I said backing away from Sara, "I should have told you, a camp that lives around here brought me in and I'm now staying there."

"Oh, well I'm glad that you're not living in that alleyway anymore," Sara said with a smile, "So, you want your usual?" she then walked back behind the counter.

"Yeah."

"And for your friend?" Sara asked.

"Uh, I'd like… I'll also take a blueberry muffin," Annabeth replied.

"Well, its on the house, everything is on the house for Trish," Sara said with a small laugh.

"Hey, I told you that I could pay for it," I said annoyed., which just made Sara laugh harder.

We got handed our food and sat down. "So, what do you want to do first?" Annabeth asked taking a bite out of her muffin.

"Um, I don't know, I never really felt this street, so I don't really know what to do."

"So, when we took you to camp that was the first time you had left this block in a year," Annabeth said surprisingly.

"Yeah," I said giving off a laugh, "Actually, do you know where I could get an alarm clock. I feel bad for destroying Jamie's the other day, so I thought I'd get him a new one. I mean I hate alarm clocks, but I still feel bad."

"Sure," Annabeth said as she finished her muffin.

She waited until I finished mine until we left. "Thanks for bringing me out here, I really needed a break from camp," I said as we walked down the sidewalk.

"No problem. I love camp but sometimes its nice to take a break from it, even if it is just for a little while."

We then walked a few blocks till we got to a clock shop. "This is where we should find an alarm clock for Jamie," Annabeth said walking into the door. I walked in after her.

My ears were then filled with the sounds of ticking clock, big and small. We both walked around the store looking at all the different clocks. There were Grand father clocks of all kinds, most of them were taller than me though. After a few minutes of looking, my eyes landed on the most perfect clock for Jamie.

It was small and black, with a blue screen and green lettering that glowed. You could see through screen (Which was the selling point for me) and it was only $5.99 (an even bigger selling point).

"So, I see you've found one for Jamie," Annabeth said as she came up from behind me, "Good, because I found the perfect one for Percy." She then held up a clock that also had a blue screen and a fake beach with waves on it.

"Perfect," I said while laughing at the thing.

We walked up to the counter where a very bored looking guy was standing. "Cash or credit," he said as he stared off into the distance.

"Uh, cash," Annabeth said.

As the guy heard Annabeth he stood straight up like a fence post, "Uh,uh, f-fourteen ninety five," he sputtered.

Annabeth gave him the cash and hightailed it out of there. "Augh, I hate guys like that. One he wasn't even paying attention, then he started to pay attention as soon as he heard I was a lady," Annabeth growled. I just silently walked behind her and stared at the gift for Jamie.

We stopped at a few more shops to get things like clothes and stuff. Nothing fancy, just like some shorts for me (and yes, I know its winter, but I like shorts), and some shirts. Then Annabeth got a few pairs of jeans and a shirt for Percy (blue of course). Then Annabeth Iris messaged Chiron asking him to send Argus to pick us up again.

We sat on a bench on the sidewalk and just talked. "So, how did you and Jamie meet?" Annabeth asked.

"We, uh, met on a video game. That's why when we were at Thalia's tree, we didn't know who we were talking to until I recognized his laugh and he told me his name."

"When did you guys met?" she asked.

"Well, uh, let's see, I was in 4th grade and he was in 5th grade. We were born in the same year, but I was born in the beginning of the year while he was a Christmas baby," I explained.

"Hmm, a lot different than Percy and I," she said, "But you probably already know how Percy and I met."

I just laughed, "Yeah the first thing you said to him was, 'you drool in your sleep'. It was one of the best Annabeth Chase quotes ever!" this made her laugh.

"I wouldn't say best."

"Are you kidding me, it was by far the absolute best thing ever."

Just then Argus pulls up in a van covered in a picture of a strawberry field. "Hey Argus," I say getting into the van.

We get back to camp and I immediately head towards my cabin. I walk in to see Eliza sitting on his bed, "Hey Eliza," I say as I walk over to Jamie's nightstand and place the new alarm clock on top. I then go over to my bed and place my new clothes on top of it and take my backpack off.

Hello child, sorry I wasn't here for a few days, Lady Hera had me doing something.

"Hmm, like what?" I ask.

She has told me not to tell you nor Coral.

"Oh, okay," I said as I walk back out of the cabin.

I walk around the camp for a little while looking for Jamie. I finally found him at the lake looking at the beautiful blue water. "Hey," I said as I sat down.

"Hey," Jamie responded putting an arm around my shoulders, "so how did your day out with Annabeth go?"

"It was a nice break." This made Jamie laugh.

"Good," he said.

We sat in silence just looking at the water with just our feet dipped in. "Hey, you want to see something cool?" I ask Jamie.

"Sure."

I let go of him and stuck my hand over the water, a small potion of the water began to float into my hand. I turned my hand over and lifted it up further in the air. I then took my hands and clapped them together, freezing the water instantly.

"Wow, how'd you do that?" Jamie asked as I set the ice in his hands.

"Well, I just took the molecules and squished them closer together, which makes ice. I could also do the opposite and spread the molecules apart which would turn it into water vapor," I explained.

"How did you figure out you could do that?"

"Well, I control molecules don't I. I'm just using the science I had learned in school and thinking of ways I could use my curse."

"Well, it seems like your curse is more like a blessing," Jamie said kissing my forehead.

"Hmm, now that I think about it, Percy said those exact words to me the day we met," I said thinking about that day those four had brought me to camp.

"Well, great minds do think alike," Jamie stated.

"More like similar minds think alike," I laughed.

"Hey," Jamie laughed.

Thanks for reading! And I want to say thanks to padington for being the only one so far for telling me how I did on the sappy parts and thank you for that because I need to learn that not all people will like parts of my writing and I need to except that. So, I will take what you said, and I will either try to improve the sappy parts or just try not to write as many. So, thank you so much padington for saying what you said.
