Hi readers!
So I managed to get my iPad back from the clutches of my sister!
Meaning I can do a chapter todayyyyyyyyyyy!
Yeah umm I'm quite hyper at the moment. That's why I'm being so over the top.
So I've decided to leave the sleepover now! I've already spent like 4 chapters writing about it and I've reached my goal which was to get Percabeth together. FINALLY.
So I actually got 2 reviews not that long after I uploaded yesterday morning, one of them pointing out that when Percy asked Annabeth out it wasn't that….. BIG. And I totally agree. It's just I'm new to writing…. romance so y'all are gonna have to bear with me or just shoot me some advice.
Anyhoo I'm going to set this chapter 2 weeks after the sleepover so yeah… This is what happens as the two prepare for their first date.
Enjoy!

The voice of strictly narrates this part:
It had been two weeks since Percy had asked her to be his girlfriend and today they were going on their first date.
Annabeth knew she should feel excited. But she wasn't. And THIS is why.
Annabeth's room:
Annabeth was sat in her room at her dressing table. She wasn't alone though. That was because Piper,Thalia and Hazel had crowded in with her. They were helping her get ready. Though she didn't know how getting dressed was a four woman job.
"Is anyone going to tell me where Percy's taking me?" She asked in exasperation as Piper applied a small amount of blush on her cheeks and Thalia and Hazel ransacked her wardrobe looking for matching shoes and dresses.
"Nope! Now stay still so I can apply your eyeshadow." Piper replied, her tongue sticking out in concentration.
"Why do I need to wear so much make up though? Can't I just put on blush and be done with it?"
"Are you kidding me. Where Percy's taking you, people go all out and therefore, you are too!" Thalia informed her.
"But where is he taking me?" She groaned as Piper pushed her head upwards.
"We can't tell you because we swore an oath not too. If it helps though then you should know that they did the same thing to me when Frank and I started going out." Hazel said trying to help. "You'll eventually get used to it."
"I'm not really one for surprises." Annabeth replied.
"Well you're going to have to be!" Piper said as she stood from her crouched position and spun Annabeth's chair so that the others could see the final result.
"Too much or too less?" the brunette asked.
Thalia and Hazel cocked their heads to the side.
"I don't really think the red will match the outfit we've picked out." Thalia said.
"Then it's back to work I go!" Piper told them as she grabbed a box of wet wipes and began to work again.
Annabeth groaned.
Percy's room:
Jason and Grover were sat on Percy's bed as the black haired boy wrestled his tie on.
"You sure you don't need help Perce?" Grover asked.
"No Grover. For the 7th time, I do not need help." He replied.
"Why are we here again?" Jason asked him.
"You're supposed to be hyping me up so I don't chicken out of this."
"Okay. Whoooooo! Go Percy. You got this!" He obliged rather sarcastically.
Percy sat on the bed.
"That's the best you can do?" Percy raised an eyebrow.
Grover sighed. "Okay Percy. Do you really like Annabeth?"
"Yes!"
It was Jason's turn. "Do you want to go out with her?"
"Yes!"
Grover and Jason both spoke together. "Then why are you so nervous?!"
"Because I don't wanna mess up!"
The two grinned. They had found their answer.
"What makes you think you'll mess up?"
"It's – Annabeth! I can't believe she said yes!" Percy let out. "I mean I didn't even ask her out that well!"
"She said YES though!" Jason said.
"And that's all that matters right now!" Grover added.
"I don't know-" Percy replied.
"Remember how I asked Piper out? I called her beautiful in front of the whole grade." Jason laughed.
"If that even counts as asking her out." Grover whispered.
"You tripped over Juniper's leg and then when she took you to first aid you thought you were on a date!" Jason protested.
"Hey! She's still my girlfriend!" Grover replied.
Percy started laughing and then so did they.
That was when his mum walked in.
With a camera.
"Awww Percy's going on his first date!" She exclaimed lifting the camera and taking a picture.
"Mom what are you doing?" He asked blinded for a moment.
"This is going into the memory book!" She told them all.
"Wait what?"
Grover and Jason started laughing.
"You guys can't laugh. She has your pictures in their too." Perch told them.
They stopped laughing abruptly.
"I'll take that as my cue to leave!" Mrs Jackson said to them taking another picture.
"Wait!" They called after her but she was gone.
"Too late!" Percy announced.
"Don't you have a girl to be picking up in 5 minutes?" Jason winked.
"Better get going then!" Grover added.
Percy said a quick thanks before walking out the house with flowers.
"You don't think he saw the 'kick-me' sign we put on his back do you?" Grover asked Jason.
"Nah!"
Okay so that is it for today! I won't be able to update tomorrow but I will on Sunday so be prepared for that.
Oh wow I really need to plan for that.
Feel free to review!
Cya soon! Byeeeeee!
