A/N: One, sorry it took so long, and two, sorry it's such a crappy chapter, I had to kinda fit in all my ideas, and I was getting terrible writer's block, blech, but I had to stick it in there sometime... once again, sorry! Hope I didn't dissapoint you too much... oh, and for all those following my other story, Black Eyes and Love Potions, also, sorry it's taking even longer, I've just been so busy, and blocked, and my computers been acting strange... blah. Not fun. Okay, I won't bore you any more... oh wait, I'm so excited cuz I bought the Half-Blood Prince soundtrack on iTunes, and it's AWESOME!!! I'm not kidding, it's like the best one yet... Oh yeah, thank you so much to all those who pointed out that it's Silena, loaned the books to a friend, I couldn't find the website, and I couldn't for the life of me remember which was which. Okay, seriously leaving now. Ciao!

"…and remember," Grover finished, "ring the doorbell, set it on the step, and run. Fast. And Percy- don't read it."

Percy looked doubtfully at the envelope. He didn't think one little piece of paper would count for the dare, but he trusted Grover, and he certainly didn't want to do anything even MORE embarrassing. Worse, Silena had agreed to let Travis and Connor do the next one. Oh gods, woe is me! He thought sullenly.

"Fine," he said, "I'm going to go do it now." For some reason, the theme from 'Mission Impossible' was stuck in his head, so he started absently humming it. Not looking where he was going, though, can have effects. Bad ones.

"Ooof!"

"Hey, Seaweed Brain. Walk much?"

Uh-oh. Annabeth. Avoiding her eyes, Percy quickly tried to hide the letter, but it proved futile.

"So, Percy, care to tell me why you're sneaking around, humming the Mission Impossible, and trying to hide notes to me?" Annabeth, smirking, threw her curly blond over her shoulder.

Percy's POV (A/N: sorry, for changing it, it didn't seem quite as good when I put it in third person)

"Er… what note?" I said weakly. Hades, this was not working. I took another tactic,.

"How do you know that it's for you?"

"Gods, Percy, I don't know, maybe the fact that it has my name on it?" her voice dripped with sarcasm.

"Um… yeah… uh… hey! Did I tell you that Beckendorf told me that Chiron told him that Cindy that Aphrodite girl caught Juniper and Grover together?"

She saw right through my garbage, and ignored it. "So, are you going to tell me what's on it?"

"Heh, about that…"

Just then, thank the gods, Chiron came galloping over, out of breath, and said, "Annabeth! Please go tell your campers that no cursing or fighting is allowed until Friday! They just broke out with Apollo over whether to hold a siege or just… I don't know, but I can't get them to calm down! Percy." He finished, nodding in my direction.

Annabeth left with a look that said I'll find you later.

I gulped, and ran off towards Athena's cabin. I slipped the note under the door, and then ran off. Thank the gods that that was over with!

Cindy, daughter of Athena's POV

It was such a nice day outside, I couldn't waste it in the library, so I decided to go down to the arena to practice a bit. I stepped outside, and heard a crunch. What the…? I looked down, and there was an envelope with Annabeth's name on it. Hmm… I guess I'll just put it on her bunk, I thought. I was carrying it inside, when the envelope, that wasn't sealed, fell open. I couldn't help looking… and grinned in glee.

"Sharon! Sharon, c'mere!"

"What…" she sounded irritated, "I was just calculating the amount of space it would take to fit Chiron's entire body int- what is that?"

"Oh, nothing much… just a love note to Annabeth…"

"WHAT?!"

"Yeah, look, read it!" I held it out for her to read.

She took it, and started reading it. Her wrinkled forehead was quickly smoothed and her face spread into a diabolical grin.

"…and I would rather eat arsenic than ever be parted from such sweet affection that I feel for you. Truly yours, Percy?! Percy wrote this?! No wonder Annabeth calls him Seaweed Brain, you don't drink arsenic, you-"

"That aside, Sharon, do you realize what this is? This is valuable information we have in our hands!"

"Just leave it on her bed, it's her private business."

"But-" she ignored my protests, and put it on Annabeth's bunk.

Humph. That would've been fun.

A/N: I know, crappy, right? Well, don't rag on me too much, I've just been doing everything really slowly... annnnnnnd REVIEW!!!
