Second Chapter Time! Ok guys because I have to do a Disclaimer I brought in Uncle Rick to interview. YAYYYY!

Me: Mr. Riordan, are you in fact a male?

Rick: Umm… yes?

Me: Was that uncertainty?

Rick: No it was confusion.

Me: Moving on, are you 15 years old?

Rick: No, I have gray hair.

Me: I don't care.

Rick: Well then, goodbye.

Me: Wait! Can I have the Blood of Olympus right now, please?

Rick: No absolutely not.

Me: Fine.

A few weeks later…

Pipers POV

Annabeth's school was hosting a Christmas dance the day before break started, which was the 19th of December. None of the others wanted to go but that tiny bit of Aphrodite in was screaming at me to go to the dance.

Long story short, Annabeth and I are currently helping each other get dressed.

Leo left a few weeks ago to update the Argo 2 so he could go find his girlfriend. And Jason was coming into town to take me to the dance. As I was zipping up Annie's dress I heard the doorbell ring.

Jason was here.

Annabeth must have noticed my excitement because she laughed and said, "Piper relax. Its just Jason."

I took a deep breath and looked at Annabeth's dress. It was gorgeous. She had purposely picked out a dress the color of Percy's eyes and the only one she could find was designer.

Annabeth bought it anyway. The dress hugged her curves and flounced out around the waist. It was completely lace and the back was like a "V" that reaches the middle of her back. Her hair was loose around her shoulders and she wore very little make-up.

My dress on the other hand was a crimson color with a heart shaped neckline. It fell just above my knees and was one of the dresses that when you spin it flies up around you.

I also wore hardly any makeup and had a gold dagger necklace around my neck.

Annabeth and I both had our knives strapped to our thighs. Annabeth's voice broke me out of my reverie, "I think it's time to go downstairs."

"Oh um… yea. Let's go."

She took my arm and we walked down the stairs towards our waiting boyfriends.

Percy's POV

I was really nervous. This was our first dance together and I was about to wet myself.

Funny, even Tartarus wasn't this nerve-wracking.

I felt Jason nudge me towards the stairs and when I looked I was paralyzed. Annabeth had always been the most beautiful person in the world (to me at least) but as she walked down the stairs she was a whole different kind of beautiful.

"You look fantastic Wisegirl."

She blushes, "Thanks Seaweed Brain, you don't look to shabby yourself."

"I can only try."

"Lets go. I don't want to be late." Piper said suddenly.

"Right. Good thinking Pipes." Jason put his arm around his girlfriend, walked out the door, and toward the BMW that was taking us the dance.

"Ready Wisegirl?"

"Of course. This is only a silly high school dance. We have been through Tartarus, we can do this."

"As long as we're together."

Twenty minutes later…

Annabeth's POV

I was horrified.

The second I stepped into the gym I knew coming was a mistake. All around the room were people grinding against their dates. And sometimes not their dates.

As you can probably guess the four of us hung out around the food table for the first twenty minutes or so.

But then Percy got bored.

"Come on Wisegirl. Let's dance."

"If you think I am going to grind you are sadly mistaken." I say refusing.

"Annabeth, I respect and love you too much to ask that of you. Trust me, you'll be fine."

I warily agreed. Percy stopped once we reached the outskirts of the dance floor. He put my arms around his neck and then Percy put his hands around my waist. Then Percy began to dance to a completely different song than whatever techno crap was playing at the moment.

It was really sweet.

After a few minutes Piper and Jason joined us on the floor. And after them came a flood of self-respecting freshman.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see a freshman with brown eyes and brown hair looking at me.

"Hello?" I asked uncertainly.

"Uh hi. My name is Eva and um… thanks for doing this non-grinding thing and stuff. Its really gross and this is my first dance so thanks for making it memorable… and stuff." She seemed really nervous even more so than a normal freshman.

"No problem. But it was really Percy's idea not mine. Although this might be the first good idea that Percy has ever had. I'm happy we made this night memorable."

Percy decided to speak up then, "What she said."

Eva smiled and hurried to join her other freshmen friends.

I slow danced with Percy for another hour before we both got too tired to dance any longer.

Once we were near the bleachers we both collapsed.

"You think with all the training we could dance for more than a hour." Percy remarked.

"Well I happen to be wearing heels thank you very much. What's your excuse?"

"I couldn't bear to spend one moment away for you." Percy exclaimed dramatically.

"Nice try Seaweed Brain. I'm not falling for it."

Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone in a bright green dress approaching us. Before they could get too close I spun to face them.

It was Eva.

"Hi Eva. What's up?" Percy asked.

"Not much, but do you mind if I sit here? My friends ditched me."

I frowned and said, "They don't sound real friendly."

"Oh they aren't my real friends. I moved here a few weeks ago. My real friends are still in Michigan. I don't have any true friends here."

Percy and I share a look. Then he says, "That's not true. We are your friends."

She immediately brightened up, "Thanks. It means a lot."

Before I could reply a loud crash sounded throughout the room. Eva let out a panicked shriek and pointed towards the window.

Hundreds of monsters were starting to crawl through them.
