Wow! Thanks so much for all of the positive feedback. Almost 2,000 views in less than a week. I would greatly enjoy more reviews, but I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too. I'm starting a question of the chapter at the bottom author's note so look out for that. If you would like me to expand/write a sequel to/make a whole story about one of the one-shots, PLEASE let me know.

I also apologize to gallaghere and thebooktheif. This chapter didn't end up being longer and at the time of your review it was already written. My goal is going to be to write longer chapters in the future. If anyone else has some constructive criticism, feel free to share it in a respectful manner.

This is a no-demigod Au.


I watch as she glides across the floor. Miss Annabeth Chase, daughter of a rich senator, was dancing across the floor of the magnificent ballroom. The event in question happened to be a publicity party for said senatorial mother.

Being the son of the mayor, I was invited to many of these parties. The song ends and Annabeth gives her thanks to her dancing partner and takes her leave.

I was about to approach her when a boy, around our age intercepts her.

"Can I have this dance?" I hear him ask her. Expecting her to turn him down, I start making my way over there.

"Of course, Perce. I was hoping you would ask," She responded. I was surprised. How did she know this boy? Before I got the chance to ask, he whisked her away onto the dance floor.

Even though I was jealous of the boy and his princess, I was in awe of their ease and comfort in each other's arms. They twirled around the floor, lost in their partners eyes, not caring what was going on around them. When the song was drawing to a close, the boy dipped her and when she came back up, they kissed.

I was a little upset that this "Perce" thought he could just swoop in a steal the perfect girl, but if she was happy, I guess I could be happy for her. On the bright side, there was that cute McLean girl I could try to woo. Maybe I'll find her now.


Thanks for reading. I am really proud of this, even if it's short.

The question for this chapter is:

Who is your otp/favorite ship other than Percabeth? (Any fandom)

Go ahead and tell me in the reviews.
