Moving on to this story, shoutout to Toby4138 for giving me the prompt of dog park, hope you like the fic!

Anyway, here ya go:

Percy couldn't help but smile as he watched Mrs. O'Leary race around the park. The poor girl had been cooped up inside all week due to one of Percy's projects and now she finally had a chance to release all her pent-up energy.

He figured he'd let her just play around with the other dogs for a while, deciding to take a moment to look around and appreciate the scenery. God, he had needed a break. This free time was like a breath of fresh air.

"Hey!" he heard a voice call out, turning to see a girl walking towards him. He smiled and waved back, he remembered her and her golden retriever.

"Haven't seen you around lately," she remarked as she got closer and undid the leash. Her dog barked excitedly at him.

"Hey there," he chuckled, petting her once before she raced into the enclosure. Turning back to the blonde woman, he shrugged.

"Yeah, work got in the way."

She nodded sympathetically and brushed a lock of blonde hair from her face. "I get that."

"How have you been?" he asked. She leaned against the fence beside him and watched the dogs.

"Pretty good, busy with work too. Seems like Chica is glad to have Lea back to play with." She grinned, gesturing to where the two dogs were chasing each other.

Percy smiled back. "Yeah, she's missed this. Cooped up inside for too long."

The two continued to chat idly until it was time for the girl to leave.

"Oh, stop it Chica, we'll be back later— besides, don't you wanna see daddy?" the girl consoled as she managed to get the leash on her dog again.

"Well, I'll see you around Percy!" she called as they walked away.

"Yep, see ya Amy! Bye Chica!" Percy called back.

He turned to Lea who was hovering around him excitedly. "Well, girl, we should get going too."

But as he reached to grab the leash, Lea got distracted and ran off the dog park and onto the walkway, right up to a girl jogging down the path.

"Lea!" Percy shouted as he ran after her. "Mrs. O'Leary, come here right now!"

At the sound of her name Lea turned back towards him. As soon as he reached her, he clipped on the leash.

He turned to the jogger, ready to apologize, but was taken back. The girl was standing still, not looking scared but tense enough to remain in place.

"I'm sorry about that," he rushed to say, pulling Lea back. The girl seemed to relax a bit as she took a small step back.

"That's okay," she replied, smiling slightly. It was only then that Percy realized just how pretty she was. Strands of blonde hair fell out of her ponytail, framing her face and her bright grey eyes gleamed in the afternoon sun.

"I— uh, are you okay?" he managed to ask. "Not that Lea would hurt anyone, but she's a big dog so she can seem a little scarier than she actually is," he rambled on.

The woman smiled back at him. "I'm okay, just a little surprised. She does seem nice." She waved at the dog. "Hi Lea."

Percy couldn't help but find that adorable. It was obvious that she didn't have a dog or was used to being around them, but it was cute how she was trying.

"Do you want to pet her?" he asked.

"Sure," she replied and reached out her hand tentatively. Percy kneeled down so he could monitor Lea. The girl lightly touched Lea's head and after getting a positive response she did it again more confidently.

"She likes you," Percy replied, standing up as Lea wagged her tail excitedly.

The girl let out a small laugh as Lea turned up her nose to sniff her hand.

"She's pretty cool," the girl decided as she turned back to face him.

"Yeah, sorry she ran up to you like that, she's just hyper because she hasn't been able to run around in a while," Percy explained, running a hand through his hair.

"That's alright," the girl waved off. "It was nice meeting you, Lea!" She smiled, petting her one last time.

"Nice meeting you too," she said turning to face him, "But I've got to run…"

"Oh yeah, of course, nice meeting you, have a nice night!" he rambled and waved, watching her jog off with a wave back.

It was only after she was out of sight that he realized he hadn't gotten her name.

-.-.-.-.-.-

Percy was back at the dog park a few days later, playing fetch with Lea. Chica and Amy weren't there so he took the opportunity to play around. But, as he was wrapping things up and getting her ready to go, she started barking loudly.

"Lea? What is it girl?" he asked as he looked around to find the cause. And once again in a flash she had run away.

"Lea!" Percy yelled, turning to see a familiar sight. The girl from before had walked up to the edge of the dog park enclosure and Lea had managed to run to her again. So that was the reason for the barking.

"We seem to keep meeting like this," the girl laughed, her grey eyes sparkling again. Percy felt his heart lurch a tiny bit.

"I guess Lea can't seem to let you go," he responded, laughing with her and omitting the part where he might have not been able to get her face out of his mind either.

"Well, if your dog keeps forcing us to meet then it has to be destiny," she joked, reaching down to pet Lea.

"I guess so, but if that's the case I'm gonna need to know the name of the person whom destiny has chosen," he played along, trying to ignore the butterflies that were starting to form. It was unreal how he had run into her again after spending so much time trying not to think about her and how much he wanted to see her.

"Annabeth," she introduced, holding out her hand.

"Percy," he replied, shaking it.

"Woof," Lea added in, causing the two to laugh.

"Well, that's introductions out of the way I suppose," Percy announced.

"Then what's next?" Annabeth asked.

Percy rubbed the back of his neck, and smiled softly, "Coffee?"

-.-.-.-.-.-

As soon as Lea started to bark repeatedly, Percy knew without turning around that Annabeth was on the way.

"What's up with Lea?" Amy asked him as she jogged over, Chica following behind her.

"Nothing, she's just excited," he replied as he tried to calm the german shepherd down.

"I think she likes you more than me," he grumbled as he turned around to see the smiling face of his crush.

"Oh, stop being jealous," she chuckled as she bent down to pet Lea who was hovering excitedly.

"She definitely likes her better," Amy piped up, watching the scene with amused chuckle.

"Not helping," Percy made a face and Amy rolled her eyes.

"So you're the girl that Percy is helplessly in love with." Amy turned to Annabeth.

"Helplessly in love with?" Annabeth asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Amy! Shut up!" Percy hissed, turning red as the girls laughed.

"Welp, I got to go." Amy winked, gathering her things and calling to Chica.

"Your dad's here," she said to the dog before Chica sped out towards a dark haired man with his arms outstretched.

"It was nice meeting you," Amy said to Annabeth before walking away with a smile and a wave.

"She's nice," Annabeth commented after Amy left, throwing a chew toy for Lea to fetch.

"Yeah," Percy replied, rifling through his bag for some dog treats.

"So, helplessly in love then?" Annabeth teased.

Percy blushed and mumbled under his breath.

"What was that? I didn't quite catch it," she asked innocently.

"Maybe a little," he murmured.

Annabeth turned to face him, tilting his face so that their eyes met.

"Percy," her voice was soft. He looked into her fond grey eyes.

"Yeah?" he breathed.

"Woof!" their moment was interrupted by an impatient Lea with a chew toy between her teeth.

Percy bent down to take the toy from her and ruffled her fur. Annabeth bent beside him and Lea barked again.

"I agree, Lea," she spoke to the dog. Lea barked twice in a row and Annabeth petted her consolingly.

"I know, he's sort of an idiot that way." Lea barked again and Annabeth nodded solemnly.

"You're right, if you need something done you gotta do it yourself."

Percy had been watching the exchange, baffled, and he was even more surprised when Annabeth turned to him with a determined look on her face.

"Oh Percy," was all she said before leaning in and kissing him. To say he was surprised was an understatement but he soon melted into the kiss, feeling the warmth spread through his body.

"Woof woof!" Lea's bark caused them to break apart, cheeks flushed and out of breath. They stared at each other for a moment smiling widely before Percy turned to address Lea.

"Sorry girl," Percy said to his dog before scratching her behind the ears. "Here ya go, you deserve it," he held out a handful of treats that Lea immediately gobbled up.

Percy chuckled at her excitement and felt Annabeth lean against him. His heart fluttered again, the realization finally sinking in that Annabeth was here, with him.

Lea having thoroughly finished her treats decided she wanted in on the hug and jumped up on him causing him to almost fall over.

"He-umpf," his greeting was cut short by Lea licking his cheek. Annabeth laughed at his second stumble, catching him before he almost fell over again.

"You okay there?" she teased.

Percy smiled widely, "Yep, I just got kisses from my favorite girls."
