Hoi! (forgot the pronounciation: hoay, I think)

Second Dutch word: dankjewel. It means thank you. (pronounciation: dankoowell)

Anyways, I went back and reread the first two chapters, and realized that I started the first chapter with the roman number II, because it was after chapter I in MoA, and so continued chapter II, Last Time, with the roman number III. I just wanted to say, that THIS chapter is III, and chapter one and Last Time are chapters I and II. Tell me if you are confused.

This oneshot is set just after TLO, 'cause that is where Percabeth really started.

BTW, read CimFan's stories, they are quite good! READ READ READ! And yes, I will do that every time I reccomend a story!

Anonymous reviews:

April: Thank you soo much for your review, I really appreciate it. And also, a really nice review! Thank you!

MashPotatoeSquishBanana: first up, love the name! And second, thank you for your review, as I said, I reread it and, yes, you are right; Reyna and Annabeth are a bit OOC. I'll try to watch it better in the next chapters! Thank you!

Disclaimer: I had a dance off with Rick Riordan, but he spun on his head… Really, does he have to be a genius in everything? Anyway, he still owns the characters of PJO and HoO, and any recognizable things.

Percy III

After the whole drama with Luke dying, everybody thinking that Percy was going to die, and generally just the relief that they were together Percy and Annabeth realized that they never went out on a proper date. So Percy worked extra shifts at his job, a swimming teacher, for about a whole month to save up enough money for a fancy dinner and a necklace for Annabeth.

On the night itself, he picked up Annabeth from the apartment her parents (yes, plural, Athena too) had rented for her so that she would be close to Mt. Olympus, and to camp, and everybody else, not only me, Percy chided himself. He was really nervous, Is the necklace nice enough? Will the food be any good? He was so hyper right now; he wasn't really watching the road. Until he almost, almost crashed into a massive truck, but luckily the driver honked really loudly. I'm really too nervous. Percy thought. Everything will be fine. The food is good; she'll like the necklace, everything's all right.

He only forgot that they were powerful demigods.

He ringed the doorbell to Annabeth apartment, and Percy's girlfriend opened the door.

"Wow," was al he said. Annabeth was wearing a simple one shoulder loose silver dress with grey pumps, but it really worked for her, and matched her eyes perfectly. She had her usual owl earrings in, and was wearing a silver charm bracelet.

"Well, hello to you too, Seaweed Brain," she said. "You look quite handsome."

"Y-you look amazing," Percy said, really stunned, almost unable to say a normal sentence.

"Thank you, Lacy came over and helped me."

"Well, she does know what looks good on you."

"You ready to go, Seaweed Brain?"

"Yeah, let's go."

He had reservated at Convivium Osteria, a nice romantic place with Mediterranean food, so also Greek food. He had reservated a place a month ahead to be sure that they would have a place. Annabeth looks realllyyy good, Percy thought. He couldn't stop staring at her for the whole night.

The waitress came to her table, and after she talked a few times, Annabeth was glaring murderously at her. It was making Percy a bit uncomfortable, but the waitress didn't notice a thing. Right before she left, Annabeth reached over the table and gave Percy a kiss. He melted.

"I really liked it, don't get me wrong, but what was that for?" Percy said after the waitress had left.

"Really Percy? You mean you didn't notice her flirting with you?"

"Uhmm… Should I?"

"Now I finally understand why it took so long for us to get together."

"Well, you know what, I was only looking at you."

"Good, because you know I'd strangle the girl you were looking at."

Percy chuckled. "Yeah, I know."

After dinner, when the waitress came to give them the bill, something quite predictable happened, for demigods at least. Of course, the waitress had to be a monster. Her hair became fire-red, like it only needed a flame 10 feet away to ignite. One of her legs became that of a donkey, the other one looked like Hepheastus had made it.

Crap. Percy thought

"An empousa!" Annabeth said.

"I know, remember the Battle of the Labyrinth?" Percy was NOT happy to see those demons again. He hoped that he would be able to resist their looks, like the way that her fangs were perfectly white, or the fact that her hair was shining…

"Percy, focus!" Annabeth said. She grabbed her purse, Really? Percy thought. We are attacked by a demon and she thinks about her purse?

Then Annabeth pulled out her knife that was in the purse. Never mind.

He drew Riptide. Together, they charged the monster. Percy distracted the empousa at the front, while Annabeth sneaked around the demon to kill her from the back. They had worked together for so long, that they didn't have to speak to understand what they were going to do.

It all went well. Percy got a bit swept away by the beauty of the demon, but Annabeth always jarred him back just in time to defend himself. Annabeth though was having trouble trying to stab the monster from behind, because it seemed to be able to defend itself from two sides… Well, actually one, because Percy kept on being distracted.

In the end, Annabeth finally managed to stab the empousa when she was walking up to Percy to bite him.

Percy blinked, only to find Annabeth glaring at him.

"What?" He demanded.

"I told you I would kill anyone who you looked at."

On the way home, they walked past Montauk beach. Percy almost forgot the necklace.

"Close your eyes," Percy said. "I have a surprise for you."

"OK… It's not some kind of joke, is it?"

"No, definitely not." Percy said.

He opened the box and put the necklace around Annabeth.

She opened her eyes and gasped. "Percy, it's beautiful!" It was a simple silver chain and a charm of an owl and a trident together at the bottom

Percy grinned. He was a bit worried that she wouldn't like it.

"Where did you get this, and more importantly, why did you get this?"

"Well, it is our first date, a special event, and I really like you. I got it at the jeweller on 3rd Avenue."

"It's perfect," Annabeth said, and kissed Percy.

Really, it was one of the best moments in Percy's life, and it just got better.

"I love you, Seaweed Brain."

"I love you too Wise Girl."

So, chapter number three! I didn't want to make everything mushy lovey dovey things, 'cause after all, they are halfbloods. BTW, I got the Demigod files last Sunday after I posted, and finished it in one hour! XD loved it, especially Annabeth's interview. I quote: (I don't own the demigod files either, or this interview BTW.)

Q: "You've been known to call Percy 'Seaweed Brain' from time to time. What's his most annoying quality?

A: well, I don't call him that because he's so bright, do I? I mean, He's not dumb. He's actually pretty intelligent, but he acts so dumb sometimes. I wonder if he does it just to annoy me. The guy has a lot going for him. He's courageous. He's got a sense of humor. He's good looking, but don't you dare tell him I said that.

Where was I? Oh yeah, so he's got a lot going for him, but he's so… obtuse. That's the word. I mean he doesn't see really obvious stuff, like the way people feel, even when you're giving him hints and being totally blatant. What? No, I'm not talking about anyone or anything in particular! I'm just making a general statement. Why does everyone always think… Agh! Forget it.

Gotta love her.

Remember, the Demigod Files was published before TLO and after TBOTL

Anyway, That's it for now! Peace!
