Hi thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 6
Since Thalia's parents were on vacation (her family was very rich and could afford to take vacations randomly) the three decided that Percy would stay in her house until they could figure out this whole mess.
"Percy, you need to be less recognizable to the general public," Annabeth said.
Thalia agreed. "We should dye his hair a different color."
"Fine. Can we dye it blue?" Percy asked.
"NO!" both girls shouted at the same time.
"Why not?" Percy said, looking hurt. Blue was his favorite color.
"We'll dye it blonde," Annabeth decided.
"Ooh, to match yours?" Thalia teased.
"No, because it's the best option to look different. Brown's too close to black, and red would just look weird." Annabeth had lots of common sense.
"I'll go buy some blonde hair dye. You two stay here. Don't do anything crazy." Thalia winked at Annabeth before heading out.
"Why'd she wink at you?" Percy questioned Annabeth. "Are you crazy?"
"No...I don't know..." Annabeth lied. She knew it was because of the almost-kiss.
"Hey, do you like like me? Is that it?" Percy wouldn't stop.
Annabeth shrugged shyly. Tears came to her eyes. Percy was her first real crush, and she was scared of losing him.
"Hey, it's okay," he said, putting an arm around Annabeth's shoulders. "Lots of my fans like me."
"It's not like that!" Annabeth frowned. "It's not just a 'fan crush.' I like you a lot. You're a real person, not just a boy up on a stage. I'm getting to know you, and it's making me like you a lot more."
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, you're special to me also." Percy confessed.
"Really?" Annabeth looked up to him, eyes shining.
"You helped me when I was at my worst. And for that I am eternally grateful." Percy smiled.
They were both silent for a while. Annabeth leaned into Percy's embrace.
They fell asleep like that.
And both of them looked happy enough to stay there forever.
