Hello. Second chaptah! So, in this chapter you will see a comparison from Letters to Juliet. It will be the moment where they will be planning to look for the guy and blah.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything here—Percy Jackson, or Letters to Juliet—except my OCs.

Annabeth woke up the next day feeling giddy. As she ran to the bathroom, she swiftly took a bath, changed her clothes, and took a sip of coffee in a local coffee shop. She looked at her iPhone again and reviewed her GPS. Alice's house wasn't that far—which Annabeth found convenient. She started walking towards the house, but she found herself almost running because of excitement. Few minutes have passed when she reached the house. She knocked slowly and became very nervous. The door opened and her heart beat moved faster. "Whadaya want, lassie?" an old guy asked.

"Uhm, I was wondering if someone named Alice lives here?"

"Oh! Alice! She doesn't live here already." Annabeth's heart sank but it rose immediately as the old man added, "But she moved not too far from here."

Annabeth grinned. "Really? Where?"

"Just go right over there—" the man pointed to an alley. "—and turn left on the second corner. Just go staright and you'll see a mansion. That's hers."

"Thanks so much." Annabeth said.

The old man flashed hid yellow teeth and replied, "No problem, lassie."

Annabeth followed the guy's instructions. She became tired of all brisk walking so she slowed down and tried to regain her composure. She tugged at her shoulder bag and she thought of how she would react when she saw Alice. Or what words she was going to say. After all, a good author must know what she has to say or write. With all her thinking and stuff she didn't realize that a big mansion was in front of her. Assuming it was the house; she walked towards the door and knocked it. A minute passed and she knocked at it again. The door opened this time, a guy with black hair, Caucasian skin, and sea green eyes looked at her irritably. "Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm Annabeth Chase and—"

"What do you want?" he interrupted her.

Annabeth already hated this guy's guts. She pursed her lips and replied in a calm manner, "I was just wondering if someone named Alice lives here?"

The guy scrunched his eyebrows, "What do you want from my grandmother?"

"Percy!" an old woman called. "Who's that?" the old woman peeked through the guy—the old woman whom she assumed was Alice called him Percy.

Percy sighed, "Grandma, she was looking for you."

"Oh, was she?"

Percy nodded.

"Come in! Come in." she beckoned Annabeth to come in and Percy was shocked that his grandma let a total stranger come in.

"Why did you let her in?" Percy whispered to his grandmother.

"Why? She looks nice."

Percy made a face and muttered, "She disturbed my leisure time, that doesn't make her nice."

"Sit down here," Alice looked curiously at Annabethand Annabeth said, "Annabeth. Annabeth Chase."

"Ah. Sit down here, Annabeth." She recalled.

Annabeth sat down and looked around the mansion. She sat on a couch with two La-Z boys at the corner. Annabeth noticed that Percy was sitting on one. "Do you want coffee? Water? Juice?" Alice asked.

"No. I just had coffee." Annabeth smiled respectively.

"Oh. Non-sense! I should get you some water." Alice walked away quickly before Annabeth got a chance to say 'no'.

She looked around and unintentionally glanced at Percy and saw that he was glaring at her. "So, your name is Annabeth, huh?" Percy continued glaring.

Annabeth got pissed at his glaring and she replied, "Yeah. And you're Percy, right?"

"How'd you know?" Percy pulled a confused face.

"Your grandmother mentioned."

"What's your business with her?"

Alice interrupted the conversation, "Annabeth, here's your water."

"Thank you."

Annabeth took the glass and took a sip. She placed the glass down, "Why were you looking for me?" Alice asked.

Annabeth dug on her bag and brought out the letter. "I was meaning to ask if you wrote this letter?" she showed the letter and Alice's face became serious.

She took the letter and her face became wistful. "How'd you get this?"

"I just found it."

"Why did you have to look for me and give it back instead of leaving it?" Alice wondered.

"Well, I was planning to make a novel out of it."

"A novel?"

"I uhm, not sure if you know me well, but I'm a famous author."

"Oh! Fine job." Alice complimented. "Percy, you should find a good job like that."

Percy scoffed. "I don't even read books." He said.

Annabeth was a bit shocked. Reading books was the best hobby she can have, aside from writing. "What do you want to know about this?" Alice beckoned to the letter.

Annabeth explained what she wanted to know. While she was explaining, Percy was studying her. She wasn't for Italy, Percy knew that. Her features were like a typical California girl but her eyes ruined the image. It was steely grey. It was intense just looking at it. She was beautiful. Percy admitted to himself, but he won't let Annabeth hear it. "I'm afraid, I don't know what happened to him afterwards I wrote the letter." His grandma said.

Percy was curious about the letter. What was inside? He didn't know. Percy studied Annabeth again. He saw how Annabeth would move her hands while she talked. She was the type of girl that guys would go nuts about in high school. He was too busy studying—or staring—that he didn't realize that Alice was calling for his attention. "Percy!"

"Uh, what?" he gawked at the two of them and Annabeth raised her eyebrows. Nice, Percy. Now you just ruined your first impression. She doesn't think you're manly now. Percy thought. "What were you saying?" Percy asked.

Percy noticed that Annabeth rolled her eyes, "I was asking if you want to go with us?" Alice reiterated.

"Where?"

"To look for Alberto."

"Why?"

Alice opened her mouth to speak but Annabeth beat her to it, "Since your grandmother doesn't know what happened to the letter afterwards he read it. So, we're going to look for him."

Percy still didn't get it. "Him? Who?"

Annabeth rolled her eyes once again, "Alberto."

"Who's Alberto?"

"It's obvious that you weren't listening." Annabeth muttered.

"Whatever."

"Alberto was my first love." His grandma said.

Percy nodded with understanding. "Do you want to go with us?" Alice repeated.

"Us?" Percy asked.

"Me and Annabeth." Alice smiled.

"Wait. Her?" Percy pointed to Annabeth.

"Yes, me." Annabeth said.

"It's bad to point, Percy." Alice pointed out.

"Sorry."

"So, are you with us?"

Percy looked at Annabeth and she was looking at him with sheer willpower, like forcing him to say yes for the sake of his grandmother. "Do I have a choice?" Percy asked.

"I think not. We need a car and someone to drive. Do you drive?" Annabeth asked.

"Of course, I do!"

"Then you're coming with us." Alice said.

"But before I totally agree, does this benefit me? Percy asked curiously.

"I'm not sure. But it benefits me and Annabeth."

"It's not fair." Percy whined.

"It might benefit you, soon." Alice added.

Annabeth stood up and said, "Well, I better go. I still have to eat lunch and start my first chapter. I also have to report to my best friend on what my story would be; she's excited for the story's summary."

"I love this girl's enthusiasm." Alice said to Percy and Annabeth blushed. Percy found it cute. 'What the hell?' Percy thought.

"Join lunch with us, Annabeth." Alice said.

"No, thanks. I'm fine."

"I insist."

"Just join." Percy said irritably.

Annabeth sighed. "Fine."

"Wonderful!" Alice exclaimed.

Alice called her maid and said, "Escort her to the dining room." the maid nodded and took Annabeth to the dining room.

Percy stood up and walked to the dining room. He sat down in front of Annabeth and asked, "So, you're an author?"

"Yes."

"I didn't know that. I'm not a big fan of books." He informed her.

"Okay." Annabeth said.

Alice sat down on the center side and said, "Let's eat!"

The food was laid out and they started eating while Alice stated her plan.

"Why don't you stay for a while later, to plan for our journey?"

"Well, planning is the first step to everything. Alright, I'll stay." Annabeth agreed.

"Afterwards, Percy would escort you home."

"WHAT?" Annabeth and Percy said in unison.

Percy groaned. "I think I can go home on my own." Annabeth stated.

"No." Alice said sternly. "It's dangerous outside."

They both decided that Alice won't change her mind and they both kept quiet for almost the whole day.

So, you see? COMPARISON. I promise that I'll focus more on Percabeth. On the latter chapters Luke, Rachel and other bunch of characters will start appearing. You just have to wait. So, review?
