though the story is still going, I just wanted to apologize to all you
readers.

CHAPTER 9

Annabeth POV

We got off the bus and walked towards the marina. We walked all along
the sidewalk where you could see the boats when suddenly a thought
struck me. "We aren't going to steal a boat, are we?" I whispered to Thalia
and Percy. Percy looked confused but Thalia just laughed. we looked at her
oddly and she just said "No need to worry," and kept walking leaving me
and Percy. He of course ran to catch up so ran a little too. But as soon as I
caught up to Percy he tripped on his own shoelaces and fell, sprawled across
the sidewalk and tripped over him, falling on top of him with my nose practically
touching his. He was pretty red, and I'm sure I looked like a tomato. He smelled
like salty sea air and his eyes were the deepest sea green, and all of a sudden
I had the urge to kiss him again, but somehow I resisted and stood up, dusting
myself off. I helped him up and we jogged over to Thalia.

Percy's POV

Whoa. All I could think about was Annabeth's stormy grey eyes, how her princess
curls made a curtain around us and it semmed there was less than an inch between
our lips. "Percy!" Thalia shouted and she pointed to a boat and asked "what about
this one?" It was big and fancy, but it was just a sailboat. "Perfect," I said, but I was
still thinking about Annabeth.

When I saw the angry-looking old guy come marching towards us I breathed "Uh-oh."
he did not look very friendly at all. "What are you kids doing here!" He shouted in our
general direction. I looked at thalia, wondering what she was planning to do to please
this guy. She just marched right up to him and said, "Here sir, anything else you need?"
handing him a couple sheets of paper and snapping her fingers he tuned as red as a
fire engine and for a second I thought he was going to explode but he just got down
on his knees and said "Your majesty, I very deeply sorry. Take your pick of all the boats
in my marina." Thalia looked very pleased about that she said "Very good, you are
dismissed." and walked over to us looking pleased. "lets go!" she said walking onto
the boat and looking at me "I assume you know how to sail."
