I know I haven't updated in like forever, and that's because I've had to juggle around a bunch of math tests, a band concert, and making birthday gifts.

Hope you enjoyyyyyy!

Annabeth

"Ms. Chase! Mr. Jackson! What are you doing?!"

I opened my eyes to see Ms. Monners glaring down at me.

"W-what?" I said groggily, rubbing my eyes and sitting up.

"Ms. Chase, we have to save the world in twelve hours and this is what you are doing?! Falling asleep in the school library with your boyfriend?!"

"He's not my boyfriend!" I said loudly at the same time Percy sat up next to me and said, "She's not my girlfriend!"

Ms. Monners rolled her eyes. "Oh, honestly, we all know you two were in love from the moment you bumped into each other on the street that day."

Percy opened his mouth to object, but I frowned and said, "How do you know about that?"

"Oh, well, I've been having a little chat with your friend Thalia Grace. She came by this morning to pick up your work and finalize the plan."

"But I thought Percy finalized the plan last night!"

"I did," Percy yawned and stretched. "But Thalia came by early in the morning to give us these." He held up a small black object that looked like an earpiece.

"They're for you to wear throughout the day," Ms. Monners said. Then she clasped her hands together. "So, what's the plan?"

I got up and started to explain her the plan. She listened intently through the whole thing, and when I was done, she nodded.

"Hopefully this all goes according to plan."

Yeah, Hopefully.


Before school started, we all put on our earpieces, with which we would be able to communicate with each other.

"Wow, Thalia," I mused, "Where did you get these?"

"I stole them."

For once, I wasn't shocked.

We kept a lookout for anything unusual, and parted ways to get to class.

Nothing strange really happened. Ms. Miners reminded me about the plan after class, and nothing strange happened with any of the other teachers, even at lunch.

Why wasn't anything going wrong?

I got my answer when we got to Ms. Heer's class.

After she passed out the worksheet, she called me out into the hallway.

Percy

I watched Ms. Heer pull Annabeth out into the hall.

I narrowed my eyes at the closing door.

Slowly, I got out of my seat and headed towards the door.

When I was halfway there, a piece of paper hit my head.

I froze and turned to see Thalia glaring at me.

I threw the paper back at her and continued towards the door.

Outside, I saw Ms. Heer cornering Annabeth against the wall.

"Oh, darling, what a nice...thing you have on your ear. Let me see it…"

"Um, no, I'd rather no-"

But Ms. Heer had already taken off Annabeth's earpiece and was now examining it closely. After realizing that it was an earpiece, her eyes widened and she pressed it to her ear.

I was praying to the gods that Thalia or Luke weren't saying anything.

Annabeth spotted me, and her eyes widened. She grimaced and nodded her head to the left, back towards the classroom.

I shook my head.

"What are you looking at, girl?" Ms. Heer started to turn around, and I quickly darted around a wall.

Ms. Heer shrugged and pressed the earpiece to her ear again.

Taking quick action, I started to stutter into the earpiece.

"And he passes...he shoots...HE SCORES! Another point for Brazil…"

Annabeth was staring at me in horror, but Ms. Heer seemed to believe that Annabeth was listening to sports. She threw the earpiece back in disgust.

"If I see this out one more time, Ms. Chase, you will get detention and will be banned from coming to the dance this evening. But then again-" she grabbed the front of Annabeth's shirt, lifting her up off the ground and pulling her close to her face. "You'll be coming anyway, won't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, but you do. You think your cockamamy plan is going to work? I know you've think you got everything, but we will win. We will wi-"

"Ms. Heer?" A voice drifted from another hallway.

All three of us turned to look at a short man with wispy blond hair. Mr. Horrison, our Ancient Greek teacher.

Ms. Heer threw Annabeth down, making her fall, and quickly turned to Mr. Horrison. "Erm, yes, Jake?"

"It's Jeremy. What are you doing?"

"Oh, um, just...er...um...punishing a student for listening to ridiculous commentary during class!"

It wasn't that bad, I thought with a smile.

"But were you using violence to cope with it?"

"Of course not, Jacob, why would you think that?"

"Jeremy. And maybe because that's what I saw…?"

Ms. Heer spluttered for an answer.

"Please return to your class, Ms. Heer. I need a word with Ms. Chase."

Fuming, Ms. Heer turned on her heel and stomped back towards her classroom.

"Mr….Horrison?" Annabeth said tentatively, still on the floor.

"Just a moment...Mr. Jackson, you don't have to hide anymore…"

Frowning, I stepped out from behind the wall.

"How did you know-?"

"Now, we don't have time for a full explanation. Are you ready for tonight?"

Brows furrowed, we nodded.

"Good. Ms. Heer will try to stop you in every way possible. Make sure you have everything planned."

"Okay," Annabeth said. "And Mr. Horrison? Were you in on this the whole time?"

"Yes, in fact. Along with Ms. Monners and a few others. Now, run along before you two get into anymore trouble."

"Thanks, Mr. Horrison," I said.

"Don't mention it." With that, he walked off.

I helped Annabeth up, and together, we walked back to class.

"So...why in the middle of Ms. Heer's class did I start hearing a sports commentary?" Thalia asked, after class.

"Because Annabeth is a bad girl who doesn't pay attention during class," I said.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Just be sure you guys are ready for tonight."

"Oh, don't worry," Luke said with a mischievous grin. "We will be."

Annabeth

That night, at 8:45, fifteen minutes before the dance was supposed to start, me and Thalia were waiting outside the school doors, all dressed up.

"You ready?" Thalia asked me excitedly.

I grinned. "You bet. When's Nico coming?"

"I don't know. When's Percy coming?"

"I don't know. When's Luke coming?"

"We're here!" A chorus of three voices made both of us jolt in that direction.

All three dressed in suits, looking quite handsome, were Nico, Percy, and Luke. Trailing behind Luke was a girl in a beautiful, sky blue dress and mask.

"You guys are late," Thalia said.

"Nah. You guys are just early." Percy broke into his goofy grin and hooked his arm through mine.

We all waited awkwardly for a few minutes, until I cleared my throat and broke the silence.

"So, Luke, you never told us who your date was."

The girl who had been following Luke grinned and slowly took off her mask.

"DREW?!" Me, Percy, and Thalia said at the same time.

Percy's grip on my arm tightened.

"You couldn't find anybody else?" Thalia muttered to Luke.

"Sorry," he muttered back. "I couldn't find anyone else."

She sighed, rolling her eyes.

Soon, more people started coming and waiting outside, talking excitedly. At exactly 9:00, the doors were opened by a beautiful woman in a dark purple dress and mask.

We started to move inside with the crowd, when the woman put an arm on my shoulder.

I looked up and she winked.

"You guys go get em'. Show Krios what you're made of."

I smiled. "Thanks Ms. Monners."

She smiled back as we headed inside.

The dance was to be held in the auditorium, and once we got in there, all of our jaws dropped.

It was barely recognizable. Elegant streamers were hung up everywhere, tables had been pushed up against the walls for refreshments, and teachers were setting up the music.

"How do we know which one's Ms. Heer?" Thalia hissed.

"We don't," Luke replied. "I guess we'll just have to figure out."

CUPCAKES! A voice roared in their ears.

"Coach Hedge, keep it down!" Percy said. Several people turned and gave him a strange look. To them, he was talking to thin air.

Oh, right, sorry. There's just one little problem. I was talking to Ms. Monners through an earpiece, and now she's not responding.

"Nico, go check the doors to see if Ms. Monners is still there," I ordered. He nodded and left to check.

"This is bad, guys," Luke said.

"Why?" Said Drew.

Thalia sighed. "Because. There's a spider in your hair."

Both me and Drew yelped in alarm, and she ran her hands through her hair again and again. I soon realized that Thalia was kidding and rolled my eyes.

"She's not there," Nico said, returning.

"Great." I said. "Coach Hedge, are you there?"

No, I just left for Alaska. OF COURSE I'M HERE!

"Right...do you know where Ms. Heer is?"

There's a bunch of people here in masks, and I can't tell which one is which!

"Well," Percy said, "she has reddish brown hair."

Gee, thanks.

The music turned up louder, signaling the start of the dance.

Dangnabbit! All of the teachers are going out there to dance! What should I do?!

"Alright everyone," came the announcer at the front of the room, "find a partner for this first dance, and throughout the song, we will be switching partners in a circular motion."

"Perfect," I said into the earpiece. "Coach Hedge, you just find a partner, and hope you end up dancing with Ms. Heer at the end of the song."

Roger that.

With a deep breath, I grabbed Percy's hand and led the way to the dance floor.

The dance was fairly easy. The hard part was concentrating on where my feet were moving, because Percy kept staring at me and grinning.

"So, Wise Girl," Percy said, twirling me around, "I forgot to tell you before, but you look amazing."

"Why thank you. You look dashing as well."

"I try."

The next moment, the circular pattern ended and we had to switch. I ended up dancing with Luke.

"Coach Hedge," I said, to avoid an awkward conversation with Luke, "Did you find Ms. Heer yet?"

Not yet, Cupcake. You said she had red hair, right?

"Right," I said.

HOLY MOTHER OF-... I SEE HER!

"Really?!"

Yes! She's wearing a black dress!

We switched around again, in the circular motion, and I was dancing with some random person.

Okay...I'm almost near her…

We switched around a few more times, but as the song ended, Coach Hedge let out a cry of anger.

NO! I was so close.

"That's okay," I said, hurrying to where I spotted him across the auditorium. "Just follow where she's going. Maybe we can get the fight over with quickly and quietly."

"Annabeth," Thalia said, catching up to me, "Did we find her?"

"I think so," I said. We quickly ran towards the figure of Coach Hedge. He opened the door of the auditorium and headed out.

Me and Thalia followed him, Percy and Luke trailing behind us.

Down the hallway, we heard voices.

"Sweetie, go back to the auditorium, I have things to do."

"But Ms. Heer-"

"NOW!"

A small girl with a mouse-like face ran back into the auditorium.

"Ah, Kira!" We heard Coach Hedge say to Ms. Heer.

"Gleeson." She addressed him formally.

"I was wondering if you would like to have a drink with me."

"I'm sorry, I don't think I can, Hedge, I-"

"Whatever are you busy with?"

"I-well-I-oh, fine, just one drink."

We heard a clink of glasses. Slowly, I started creeping towards the corner so I could see them. The others followed me. Peeking around the corner, I saw Coach Hedge and Ms. Heer.

"You know, Kira, I just wanted to thank you for being such a good fellow colleague." Coach Hedge wrapped Ms. Heer in a hug.

She immediately stiffened. And for a moment, a look of hunger passed over her face.

Bite him… I pleaded silently. But they pulled away normally, Coach Hedge looking rather disappointed.

"You're always welcome," we heard Ms. Heer say. "But you know, that's kind of hard to believe, seeing as four of your nosy students are standing around the corner."

We gulped as Ms. Heer walked towards us.

"And now," she said sweetly, the look of hunger passing over her face again, "It's time for you to die!"

A/N: I'm really sorry I split this into two parts, but it's just so long! And obviously, every good thing is always split in half. The Deathly Hallows, Mockingjay, etc. etc.
