Annabeth Chase did not cook. Simple things like cooking never seemed to have a place in her busy monster-fighting schedule while she was in the mortal world, away from Camp Half-Blood. But it was an occasion. Percy and the Goode high school swim team had come in first place in a tournament, and so, she decided a little cooking was fitting.

She wasn't cooking anything difficult. She decided it was best to do something simple because she was using Sally Jackson's kitchen, and she wanted to keep it somewhat tidy for her. Cookies, she decided, I'll make a couple of those for him.

Percy would be back from the swim team's party in about an hour, so she figured if she wanted to surprise him, she might have to work quickly.

Setting out the cookie dough she had bought, an oven tray, and baking foil, she rolled up her sleeves and began to roll the dough into circles. She didn't make much of a mess, and her sleeves had only gotten a little bit of dough on them by the time she was finished, so she was satisfied.

After setting the timer on the oven and shoving the tray in, she leaned against the counter, pushing her stray blond locks from her face. "Perfect. They'll be out in twenty minutes, and then I can set them up on a plate for him," she said to herself.

She busied herself drawing architectural ideas she had for Olympus, and humming to herself animatedly, until the oven gave that little ding!

The cookies were perfect. Each one round and soft, and smelling like sweet dough and chocolate.Just in time.

As she set them on a plate, one vital piece of missing information struck her like a lightning bolt. Food coloring! She gasped. Blue. She had forgotten about Percy's obsession for blue food. Alright, Annabeth, she thought, no worries, I'll just go down to the store and get some really fast.

As it turns, she didn't have to. Sally had a bunch of food coloring at the back of her cabinets. Figures. She hastily got to work, spilling blue coloring everywhere. Her fingers were blue and sticky, the counter was a mess, and she had a feeling there was food coloring on her face.

There. Finished. She looked at her dish. What. The. Hades. They were pale. Like, a disgusting mouldy pale. Barely even blue. That wouldn't work. And she only had a few more minutes before he arrived. Damn Percy and his stupid blue food craze.

She got to work again, adding lots more color to each cookie. After a few minutes, she gazed at her work. They were horrible. They were indigo! Nearly purple! She grabbed a cookie and threw it back on the plate with enough force to break the cookie into pieces.

"UGH!" she grumbled, just as she heard a click. She turned around angrily, "WHAT ARE-" she froze. There was Percy, and a bunch of other guys from Goode, scrutinizing her appearance. From her color splatted face to her now, cookie dough covered sleeves, and blue tipped fingers.

"So…? This is your girlfriend?" one of his friends muttered. "Feisty…"
