Disclamer: I don't own PJO… sadly L
On to the story!
Annabeth POV
"Percy stop! Stop it!"
His tickles were making me squeal and squirm. We were wrestling at first, but the he pinned me down to the couch and started tickling me. His green orbs were shining with happiness, and mischief.
"I'm not stopping until you say the magic word," he taunted.
"Percy stop!"
He shook his head and continued tickling me.
I sighed, "Percy stop."
He smiled and stopped, but then he continued with another round of tickles.
"Percy, Annabeth, the food is ready!"
Mrs. Jackson called from the kitchen and the smell of the turkey and the mashed potatoes were filling the whole hotel room. Percy dashed to the table, and I took a moment to breathe. I stood up and glared at him.
"Oooo, I'm so scared."
"Don't use sarcasm Perseus."
"Don't call me that, Annie."
I stomped to the table and sat across from him. We glared at each other, and I could hear Mrs. Jackson chuckling from the kitchen. She set the turkey and the rest of the food on the table.
"Mom, I thought you invited people."
"I was just kidding Percy, I was going to but then I thought it would be nice if we celebrated Thanksgiving like this."
"Thanks mom."
"Now, who wants to do the prayers and give thanks?"
"I'll do it," I said.
Mrs. Jackson smiled at me, and nodded her head.
"We thank you gods, for allowing us to have this meal on a special day like today. Thank you for keeping Percy and I safe from monsters on our day out, and I want to thank you guys for also keeping Mrs. Jackson safe. Even though I may not be spending the day with my biological family, this celebration with these two people feels like the family I've never had. Thank you for putting such wonderful people in my path, for my friends, Mrs. Jackson, Chiron. I also want to thank you for not killing Percy yet. –
"Hey!"
"and blowing any of us to dust."
"That was beautiful Annabeth."
"Thank you Mrs. Jackson."
"Can we eat now?"
"Yes Percy."
(::) LINE BREAK JJJJ
"The food was delicious Mrs. Jackson, thank you."
"Of course Annabeth, you are welcome to come here anytime."
"I should leave now, it's not that dark outside."
"Annabeth, you're welcome to stay overnight, you're coming tomorrow anyways, right?"
"Yeah, okay. Thank you."
I walked back to the couch were Percy was slouched, watching a movie.
"What are you watching?"
He jumped up, and looked at me nervously.
"Um… nothing."
I raised my eyebrow expectantly.
"Ugh… The Little Mermaid."
I laughed and, he shrunk on the couch.
"Are you staying?" he asked.
"Yeah, it's dark outside."
"Let's set the couch bed up, I'll sleep here, you can sleep in the room."
"No, it's alright, I'll sleep here, and you sleep there."
"No"
"We're going to watch the movie anyway, we'll see who falls asleep in it, and whoever is awake goes to the room."
"Fine"
We set the bed up and we both climbed on it, watching the movie. I don't remember, but I think it was Ariel's singing that lulled me to sleep. Ha, I was going to sleep on the couch bed.
Mark POV
"Where's Annabeth?"
"She's probably with Percy, I think that's why they cancelled," Mr. Chase said.
"And you just let her go out like that? On a holiday? At age 13?"
"Mark…" my dad warned. "She is Frederick's daughter and he chooses how to educate her. Perhaps going over to Percy's is helping her in some way."
"But she's my best friend."
My sister snorted, and looked away.
"That's what you think."
Let me tell you a little about my sister, she is my half sister, my dad had an affair with someone and then they gave her to my dad. Every summer she goes to some camp in New York that I'm not allowed to go to.
"Shut up. Mr. Chase, do you think I could have the address where Perseus Jackson is staying at."
"I don't think it's necessary, she's coming back soon."
"Okay Mr. Chase. If she doesn't get here soon, may I have it?"
"Mark…" my dad growled under his breath. "Cut it off."
"No Mr. Evans, it's okay, and yes Mark, you may have it if she isn't here in an hour."
"Thank you."
LINE BREAK J J J J J(Time skip to the next morning)
I closed the door as quietly as I could. I wasn't even supposed to be touching this front door. My parents had grounded me after last night's events. I got the direction, went to it and I didn't realize it was a hotel until after my parents dragged me home. I'm going to look for Annabeth once more, because I have to save our friendship. I stepped outside and sprinted to my destination.
I saw myself on the windows of the shops, and halted. My hair was a mess, what was Annabeth going to think about me? I had to fix it, and I did, I kept walking to even my breath out, and I saw the building, finally.
Percy POV
I opened my eyes, and heard a song playing in the distance. I got up, and the first thing I noticed was that there was someone sleeping next to me. I jumped off the bed, only to see Annabeth, sound asleep on the couch bed. So, we both fell asleep watching The Little Mermaid, wait. WHAT? I fell asleep next to Annabeth?! I SLEPT WITH ANNABETH!? My heart started racing, and I walked around the living room.
Calm down Percy, calm down, you guys just fell asleep watching a movie. Its okay. As long as she doesn't notice, everything's okay. Just get a glass of water, and clam down.
I walked to the TV and turned it off. As I was walking to get my glass of water, I heard an urgent knock on the door.
Who could it be? It must be Annabeth's dad.
I tip-toed around the bed, and dashed to the door, I opened it a little, and I found someone who I wasn't expecting outside.
"Mark?"
He rolled his eyes, "No, it's Ryan."
"What are you doing here?" I asked, ignoring his sarcasm.
"Well, I'm looking for Annabeth."
"Oh. She's sleeping right now."
"Her dad was worried sick last night. I came to look for her but there wasn't anyone here." He stood staring at me expectantly. "You don't know how to treat guests right?"
"Oh sorry, come on in."
I opened the door, forgetting that Annabeth was asleep on the couch bed. That I had slept on too. My face felt hot, and I hoped it wasn't noticeable.
"Um… Why is your face red?"
"Nothing."
He looked around the room, and his eyes widened when he saw Annabeth. He looked at me accusingly, and then at the big empty spot next to Annabeth.
"Did I wake you up?"
"NO, um.. sorry I mean no you didn't. I was up to get a glass of water."
"You guys slept together?"
"Yeah," I said. His face got angry and he stood up. "You're using her! Why would you do that to such an amazing person like her? Huh? Are you mad?!"
"NO, No it wasn't in that way, we were watching a movie, and I guess we both just fell asleep."
The bed creaked and Annabeth stirred. I watched in horror, as she stretched her arms out and stretched, taking the blanket off. She sat on the bed, still sleepy and looked around. I saw Mark's face redden even more, when he saw that Annabeth was wearing an over-sized camp t-shirt (who knows where she got that) and one of the shorts from the water park from the summer.
"Percy, are the pancakes ready?"
"No, but someone is here to see you."
Her face snapped and she scanned the room again, more aware. When she spotted Mark, her eyes narrowed and she gave him the glare. Mark didn't look down or did anything to show he was afraid. Instead he was shaking.
"What's going on here?"
"Nothing Mark, we just fell asleep watching a movie. Besides, we're only thirteen, we're still allowed to have sleepovers with guys without it looking wrong, right?"
"No, especially not with Percy Jackson. Did he force you to do something? Is it his criminal mind?"
I smirked, and started talking,
"Yes, it's my criminal master mind, and I forced Annabeth to do things that are unspeakable at age 13. Oh no! you have caught me red-handed!"
Mark was shaking, "I knew it! I knew that you were bad for Annabeth, I just knew it!"
Annabeth was still glaring at him, and pointed at the door. She stood up, and walked to the door opening it wide, and she mockingly pretended to be a doorman.
"Mr. Evans, you are excused."
He stopped shaking and looked at Annabeth incredulously. Annabeth tapped her foot on the floor impatiently, and stared at him again. He sighed, and walked to the door, and he just looked at Annabeth. Annabeth started closing the door, pushing him out, and then she slammed the door on his face. She turned around and started laughing. And I started laughing along with her. This was going to be a great last day at San Fransisco.
