A/N: Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted anything up lately. I was too busy. ( Watching T.V ). Anyway, whatever thing you might want to tell me, like what to improve, just post something in the reviews.

Percy's POV

What could've gotten into Annabeth? She looked really clammy and weak after breakfast. Huh, probably just a temporary cold.

I checked the clock. 1:30. Just on time. I stepped out of the Poseidon cabin and headed to the pavilion for lunch.

I met up with Grover and Annabeth, after I talked to Clarisse, daughter of Ares. Last time we met, she tried to kill me with a pebble. It's nice to know that some things never change.

"Hey, Barnacle Brain!" she sneered at me.

I raised an eyebrow. "And what do I have the pleasure to talk to you for, Clarisse?"

She smirked. "Just watch how the Ares cabin is gonna get the flag first." I couldn't help but stare at that one little zit on her forehead. I swear, that thing's a volcano. "Hello? Is anyone there in that head of yours? Or is it full of sand?"

I blinked, and then I said," Sheesh, looks like you guys've been eating the red meat, huh?"

"Your dad was raised by sea monkeys!"

I started to walk to our table. Wow. Grover has a huge appetite. He's like, murdering that Coke can.

Annabeth just stared at her empty plate.

"Hey,Annabeth? You sure you're okay?"I asked

"Hmm." Annabeth replied hazily. "Oh, yeah. I just still feel ... never mind."

I raised an eyebrow. I started to worry about her. She hasn't been right since that dream.

"Listen up!" I heard a booming yet drunken voice say. Oh,it's just the camp director, Mr.D

"Right,well,the rules for Capture the Flag. Don't kill each other,don't swear unless you do it for reason,and that's all. Well, have fun!"

I swear I heard him say, "You unworthy little pests" under his breath.

-10 minutes later-

The Ares,Hermes,Hephaestus,and Athena cabin were on our team.

The Aphrodite,Artemis,Demeter,and Apollo cabin were opposing. I couldn't tell who else was on the two teams,because I didn't bother to check.

Annabeth decided to skip today's game 'cause she was still feeling bad. Was it me, or was this dream starting to get to her head? Pretty sure it's me. Being a boyfriend, you're constantly worrying about your girl. Tsk,tsk. It's a curse for being this dashing.

"Ok, I want a nice, clean fight. Whoever maims one another will have to use one of these plastic swords in the next fight."yelled Chiron, from over the noise of swords being tossed around from the armory.

Someone blew a horn, and the game instantly started.

The sound of swords clashing together hurt my ears, but all I could think about was Annabeth.

Just then, something slammed against me.

"Ok! Who threw that huge rock at me?" I yelled.

"Hey! I will have you know that I lost 12 pounds over the summer!" replied a girl from the Aphrodite cabin, about my age.

"Sorry. The names Percy."

"Naomi."

"Ok, now I'll have to beat your team's butt!"

She scoffed,"Bring it!"

And just like that, we were clashing our swords together.

Without thinking about the fight, she quickly slammed Riptide right out my hand.

"Crap!" I shouted.

After a bit of laughter, she said," Now let's see who has better game."

The Apollo cabin's team won, and we were off for our daily routines, which is basically like housework. Ugh, I thought to myself.

After I ironed my clothes in my cabin, I went to go check on Annabeth,hoping she was feeling any better.

A/N: So, I have a poll for you: Hobbits or penguins? Which one is better?
