Percy smiled as the waitress placed a large slice of blueberry pie in front of him. His two companions noted that this was his fifth piece. Not that either of them was able to say much, with the little boy already on his second full-sized enchilada, and the blonde on her third cheeseburger.

When all three took a moment to breathe, Percy remembered to ask his blonde dining partner, "So do either of you know what the big deal was with that 'Athena' lady? I mean I've never heard of her, is she some big shot?"

The small boy shook his head, "We don't talk to strangers."

"Well, then how about we stop being strangers then?" The water manipulator mage said with a smile, "My name is Percy. And you are?"

The younger boy was about to introduce himself when the girl stopped him, "No offense Percy. But the two of us really should be getting on our way."

"Oh, no problem!" Percy smiled at them as he noticed the girl reaching for her wallet. With a quick grab of his own wallet he pulled out enough money, stopping them from protesting, "Like I said, lunch is on me. As a thank you for saving me from whoever that was earlier."

The girl grudgingly agreed. Percy was just paying for the meal when the boy comes rushing back over to him, surprisingly fast for a five-year-old on crutches, to say, "I'm Grover! This is Annabeth! She's real smart, we've been looking for her mom for a while now and we had heard a rumor that she was in this town but it just turned out to be that phony lady."

Percy smiled at Grover and said, "Well I hope the both of you are able to find her, and if either of you ever needs help, I'd be more than willing to lend a hand." From the corner of his eye, Percy could see Annabeth give him an exasperated look, which just made him smile more. After he was done at the cash register, Percy walked with Grover back to Annabeth who nodded her thanks before the both of them left.

Some later, Percy was sitting on the sand by the ocean staring out across the waves, having officially given up on finding the magic shop, when a pair of legs blocked his view. Following the legs up, he saw the woman from earlier that day, the one who'd called herself Athena. "Can I help you, ma'am?" he asked confused.

Athena smirked as she sat down next to him and leaned extremely close to Percy, "You can help me by coming to my party later tonight."

Percy leaned away uncomfortable, "Why?"

The woman trailed her fingers down Percy's chest as she spoke, "Because you are a handsome young man, and I think you would enjoy it." Percy, unused to hearing such compliments, blushed. However, he was still not comfortable with how close she was to him, and he was fast in standing up to get some distance between the two of them.

"But is there any reason you singled me out specifically?"

"I noticed that you were quick to help that horrible girl out earlier, and I like to surround myself with people like you." Athena followed him up from the sand, her dark red lips holding a smirk the entire time. Once again she leaned in uncomfortably close. For some reason, as she did so, Percy could feel his body locking up, leaving him unable to move as she walked closer and closer.

When she reached him, she leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Come to my Party tonight. It'll change your life forever." Then just as quickly as she had approached, she was conjuring up her giant snake and leaving, "I'll see you tonight darling!"

Once she was finally out of sight Percy could feel his muscles relaxing. Whether it was from relief that she was gone, or her spell had finally worn off, Percy couldn't tell. But one thing was obvious.

He was going to a party that night apparently.

Later that night, Annabeth and Grover were looking for a cheap hotel to spend the night in, since neither wanted to take an overnight train, when they passed a couple of boys who were looking towards the outskirts of town with longing.

"Man I wish Athena had invited us to her party!"

"Yeah! Did you hear that she was even in the Fairy Tail guild!?"

"No way! Really?"

"Yeah!"

She's so amazing!"

They passed on without noticing the two who had been eavesdropping. As they walked away Annabeth looked towards the same direction they had been.

"Fairy Tail, huh?"
