Whadya wanna see?

The two teenagers made their way down the still crowded streets to the Blockbuster on the corner of 75th and Broadway. Annabeth had been slightly shivering on the way down as the two had remained silent, reminiscing about earlier times. Warm air rolled onto her cold bitten face as Percy closed the door behind them. Bold posters were scattered along the wall and made her and Percy pointedly look and see if the movies were any good.

His voice broke through her reading of a sign for the new Indiana Jones movie; Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, "Whadya wanna see Wise Girl?"

"Hmm," She thought, "how about we both look around for five minutes and then meet back here with two movies each. We'll decide between the four." He nodded his approval before wondering off towards the new releases. Meanwhile, a movie on a rack caught her eye.

Percy's POV

"Let's see, what do we have here." I mumbled under my breath as a looked at the new movies. My eyes scanned over the comedy Beverly Hills Chihuahua, action Eagle Eye, and the ever so popular National Treasure: Book of Secrets. To me Eagle Eye looked the best and National Treasure was something I was sure Annabeth would like. I picked them up and walked over to where we last stood.

Annabeth's POV

"No way! They can't have that!" I whispered as my hand reached out and grabbed the new horror film, Quarantine. I have been dying to see this for weeks! "Hopefully Percy will like horror." I thought. Realizing that time was almost up I ran grabbed and grabbed a copy of another movie I wanted to see, The Duchess. Walking at a leisurely pace I came upon that dark-haired prince that was, not technically, mine for the rest of the summer. Sighing, my mind noticed that no Rachel Dare would be in my way. It was just me and him.

Third Person's POV

Percy's eyes fell onto the blond walking toward him. He couldn't believe his luck! The fact that Annabeth was with him was one thing, but actually wanting to be even closer than the way they had left camp was just a dream come true.

"Watchya got Percy?"

Her question caught him off guard, mostly because he was studying the way she walked in her blue jeans. To Percy, she looked great in everything from torn camp clothes to the best jeans imaginable (considering she hadn't worn a skirt in front of him).

"Eagle Eye and National Treasure: Book of Secrets."

She studied the DVD's for a moment before answering the unasked question, "I got Quarantine and the Duchess."

"The Duchess? Do we have to watch that movie."

"Oh, stop being such a baby."

"I am not a baby, lets get Quarintine and Eagle Eye. We'll watch one tonight and one tomorrow."

"Alright." Annabeth handed him the movies and walked up to the counter. The sulky eighteen year old checked out the movies and asked them for seven of their ten dollars.

After paying the Son of Poseidon and the Daughter of Athena walked out into the even chillier night air, through the streets of Manhattan. There was little talking on the way back to the small apartment. The star's twinkiling lights had captivated their attention.

'Just beautiful. Thought not as gorgeous as her.' Percy thought stealing a quick glance at Annabeth before heading into the front doors of the apartment building and walking up the two flights of stairs with the angel in tow.
