As promised(:

Annabeth's POV

Once Percy, Logan and I had made our way around the perimeter of the camp three times, Logan had a pretty good idea of the basic layout, or so he said. He also had become positively chummy with Percy; complete with a secret handshake and inside jokes. I had shaken my head in disbelief at them when they had started choreographing their shake. Wasn't that a little bit…. thirteen year old girlish?

We had missed dinner, and dark had really fallen now. Complete dark, not the dim crap you get in the city but the "hey I wonder if there could totally be someone five feet in front of me and I would have no idea" dark. Percy had asked if Logan and I if we wanted to do one last lap before hitting the hay.

"I'm cool, I really don't wanna be caught out after hours on my first day, ya'll guys go ahead though." Logan had responded with a wave of his and a casual jog back in the general direction of the Athena cabin.

Percy grinned devilishly at me and took hold of my hand, making me blush a bit. I thanked the gods that it was too dark for him to see.

"So what was going on today?" he asked "You barely talked like, the whole time."

I gapped at him. "What opportunity did I have?" I nudged him with my hip, letting him know I was joking around, "You guys were getting so buddy buddy, I was surprised you didn't ask him to sleep over and make hand puppets and gossip tonight." I grinned at Percy, he grinned back at me.

"Yeah, he's pretty cool. It's nice to have a guy friend around, now that Grover's back out doing his Wild-Man thing," We were passing the volleyball pit now, veering left towards the cabins as we neared the Big House.

I pretended to be offended. "Oh so I'm not enough for the Great Hero Perseus Jackson anymore?" I put my free hand on my hip. "He needs a guy friend now?"

He chuckled at me. "Who knew a daughter of Athena could act so much like a daughter of Aphrodite?"

"Ouch, Percy. Too far there. You've wounded me. Mortally injured over here. HELP!" I screamed the last word into the empty night."

"Shhhhhh!" he gestured for me to be quiet but couldn't hold back his sniggers. "You'll tip the harpies off!"

I made a noise between a half scoff, half laugh. "They're not going to hear me, even if they did…" I trailed off at the sound of quick footsteps coming towards us.

"You were saying, Annabeth?"

I scrambled for my magic invisibility cap. Maybe, I could distract the harpie enough for Percy to get away before he got eaten, or I could… my mind came up for a thousand plans while my hands wrestled with my front hoodie pocket, trying to yank my hat out. I glanced up at Percy, sure he was freaking out. However, Percy, on the other hand was watching me with a look of amusement/higher knowing. An unusual look for the Seaweed Brain and enough for me to look around to see what I had missed.

Oh. It wasn't the harpies coming at us with a ravenous fever, but Chiron. He reached us, wiping sweat from his brow.

"Annabeth, Percy! I heard your yell, I haven't been able to find you! Where have you been? You missed dinner and I've been looking all… never mind. Somethings come up."

My head shot up in instant interest. Chiron grinned down at me.

"We've got a quest for the two of you."

I know Annabeth was a little OOC with her yelling but I needed that Chiron could find them. I know yall already knew about the quest but this was just kinda a fluffy chappie. It was fun to write and I hope it was fun to read! If it was let me know but clicking the little blue button! Oh and the next one will be the start of the quest
