The ice cream was nearly melted when Percy got back, but Grover was very thankful. Percy took the ice cream without another word and rushed off to the infirmary.
Percy rushed into the room Annabeth was sitting up, crying again. She looked pretty surprised to see Percy, but even more surprised at the ice cream.
"Hi Percy. Where'd you get that?"
"It's a long story. You alright, Annabeth?"
"Yeah, I just… never mind…"
"Here, this is for you," said Percy, attempting to hand Annabeth the ice cream. But suddenly, after having partially melted, the ice cream tipped over and landed on Percy.
For a moment, Percy and Annabeth sat there, Percy slowly turning red. Then Annabeth began to laugh. She laughed so hard that she started to cry again. And she couldn't stop laughing. In fact, she kept laughing until Mr. D. finally showed up with nectar and ambrosia.
Within seconds of eating the ambrosia, Annabeth was on her feet, strong enough to beat up Clarisse. "Thank you Mr. D!" she called as the grumbling god left. Now it was just Percy and Annabeth.
"Well, thanks for trying to cheer me up."
"Sure, sure. Anything for you." replied Percy as he lightly kissed Annabeth.
Dedicated to my friend Julia, who loves Percy more than Annabeth does.
