Hey guys!
I'm so sorry people, I was (and still am) very busy with school, and I was a bit indecisive. First, I wrote about when Annabeth was trapped under Atlas's burden. Then, it started out as a moment I just thought of when I couldn't sleep. After, it became a tribute for 9/11. But now it's almost a week after 9/11, so it was way to late. Then I changed it back to the little moment.
Lily dear, you just wrote the 100th review! You got your own OC! Make an account (look for details in your review reply), and I will send you the requirements. The details and everything. Congrats! You are so lucky you accidentally posted the first time, otherwise you wouldve been the 99th reviewer… you lucky bastard :P
Am I the only one who thinks it's kinda scary how a middle-aged man can write so well in a teenager's POV?
I forgot the question last time, sorry for that. It's in the bottom AN.
Review Replies!
PJOBestfan29: Yeah, but it was something I thought I should write. My version of the reunion was the first chapter, but I'm really looking forward to Rick's version. Can't wait for MoA! 2nd of October!
Lily: I don't know why I didn't do the review replies last time. Now this reply will probably take a few pages on Word… :P
First review:
*Cue British accent*
Why would they be annoying? I love your reviews!
Yeah, I think no other person gets that long reviews… I'm lucky!
Hmm… okay. Just make sure you're the 100th person to review, then! I'd love to see your OC… Well, I won't see it, but you get what I mean…
Seriously? I want a shirt like that! Then I can carry Harry around with me everywhere! :). You're kidding, right? You have the dimples and the hair colour and the curls and the very cheeky personality and the monkey-ish craziness? Well, when I read your reviews, it seems like you do have the very random and very cheerful personality, so you've got that covered. If you are the exact same as Harry, then you have get to like enter a competition to get backstage passes to one of their concerts and bring me along! Then they can see how much you're like Harry them and I can marry one of them! *sighs*
Yeah, I think Nina's closer too. But she's like, in her late twenties or something. Selena is youger. Notus is the South Wind and the enemy of Boreas. I think I put the answer in my last oneshot, I'm not sure.
Yeah, I'm 'forizzels'. You have no idea how much that made me laugh. Seriously? Everybody calles me Alex. When I was little, I didn't like it because it sounds like a boy's name, but now I'm used to it. I always liked Alexa or something like that. But now I like Alexandra a lot. I like the name Lilian Elizabeth, it sounds so regal. My aunt is called Elizabeth Rose, but we all call her Lizzie.
Nah, not really. Imagine curls that are in between afro and normal. And very frizzy. That my hair. I don't like it because it tangles very fast. I have to comb it, braid it, and put cream in it every night, otherwise I get knots the size of Alaska. I hate it. But when it's wet, it's nice. It has all of these little ringlets. I think it's nice that way. And sorry, now I'm ranting about my hair. Haha, I make that mistake all the time. *virtual high fives you back* TO NERDS!
Tell me how it was!
Go for it. it's totally free, and then you can review to everything. I like it way better with an account. Feel free to PM me whenever you want; I'll try to explain if I know what it is. I was scared too, believe me. But now, look where I am. I have 100 reviews, and people actually like what I write. Be sure to PM me whenever you get an account! I will totally read your stories! Go for it! oh yeah, you PM someone by going to their profile and clicking on the envelope that's at the top…
Yes, Annie does have a wittle crush! Probably more than a little one, though…
PS, why would I make fun of you?
2nd review:
I love 'Taken'! "You don't really want my heeeaaart, no you just like to know you caaaaaaan, still be the one who gets it breeaaking, you only want me cause I'm taken!" Imagine a cat singing. That's my voice! It's funny, 'cause I found a special pen for writing on your skin at the bottom of a pencil case I think I used three times last year, and now everyday I write a quote from a song on the back of my hand, and most of the time it's from a 1D song… :D
I know! I like Harry the most out of everyone, he's so cheeky and cute. Like, a totally good looking cheeky monkey. Yeah, that's kinda him!
I'll tell her! I liked it too, that's one of the reasons I clicked on her name!
I wanna meet all of them! But then Niall shouldn't eat all of our food…
(this is where the 'third' review starts…)
That's okay, I have that sometimes too…
Busy day!
YEEAAAHHH! A COOKIE FOR YOU! (::::::::), yeah extra long… Just don't tell anyone…;)
Good, thanks for understanding! :)
Seriously? That is the most awesome costume EVER! And the hottest, of course…
Buh-Bye! Love your reviews!
-Alex
Graceh: Thanks! I like that you like them! :)
CimFan: Seriously?! Awesome! Like the Fates were in your favor :)
Thanks! The update!
Shadowofthemoonxx: Thanks! :)
Review replies DONE!
Thank you everyone who reviewed, favorited, and followed. It makes my day!
So, this oneshot is for Lily, for writing the 100th review!
It's nobody's POV, just third person. I'm going to switch between thoughts and feelings in the beginning and end, like 'Annabeth thought…' and then 'Percy felt…', things like that. Set in between TBOTL and TLO, in the last days of summer.
Disclaimer: I just surrendered. I hoped Rick would let his guard down but he didn't I tried sneaking in with my non-exsistent ninja powers, but seals don't sleep. You can guess the rest. I still have bruises, and look like a Smurf or something because of all the bruises. Rick Riordan owns all characters and everything recognisable from PJO and HoO.
Song for the oneshot: You Belong With Me, by Taylor Swift. I like the idea of matching a song with each chapter.
XVI
Ananbeth and Percy were on the pier, talking about nothing, really. Just things like school, friends, and camp. Then, the conversation turned into a total new path.
"Percy," Annabeth said, finally gathering the nerve to ask him this particular question. "I really like this guy at camp, he's been my friend for years. He's very funny and sweet, and he has helped me lots of times. How could I tell him that I like him?"
She hoped he would get the message.
But sadly, Percy is Percy. So in other words, he was way too stupid to see that his best friend was trying to tell him that she like him. He felt like punching a wall, and then he would punch the guy that Annabeth liked.
Percy took a deep breath, calming himself. "Who is it? Travis? Will? Mitchell?"
Annabeth bit her lip. He so did not get the message.
"Uhm… it's not, it's not any of them, it's…" She stopped. She didn't want to put her feelings out there, and risk getting hurt deeply. She wouldn't stand losing Percy, even if it meant being friends forever. It didn't matter anyway. He would die in a year. Just the thought made her eyes water, but she blinked them away.
Percy got up. He didn't want to be stuck here listening to Annabeth's guy problems, when he liked her himself.
"I have to go to, uh… feed Mrs O'Leary. Yes, feed Mrs O'Leary."
Ananbeth mentally rolled her eyes. Of course you do. Like I believe that.
"All right, I'll see you around Percy." She watched him jog away, away from her.
When Annabeth was running down to her cabin to scream into a pillow and skewer either the wall or one of her siblings with her dagger, she stopped suddenly. She heard voices.
"… I think Percy got super hot since last year. He has to be like, the most good-looking guy at camp right now." Annabeth recognised the voice, it was Drew from the Aphrodite cabin. She was boiling. How could they talk about Percy when he was...uh… almost Annabeth's boyfriend? Almost, she promised herself. Almost.
"Drew, you shouldn't talk like that, I mean, what if anybody was here? What if Annabeth is listening now?" That was Lacy. She was nice, but she was clearly scared of her older siblings. Annabeth panicked. What if they found her here?
"That little bitch can't do anything. She's too scared to tell Percy that she likes him." Again, this brought up some harsh feelings. Annabeth disliked Drew even more.
"Drew, that's really mean. You shouldn't say that." Annabeth raised an eyebrow. Looks like she underestimated Lacy.
"Whatever, like I care. Let's go. We have archery." Annabeth got the heck out of there. They had to walk past her hiding spot to go to the archery range. They did see her though. Annabeth gave Drew her meanest glare. She was just about ready to skewer her. Drew sneered, but she seemed a bit scared though. Annabeth was satisfied, and went to her cabin.
She remembered the previous conversation with Percy, and Drew's mean words. That was enough for her to unsheath her knife and throw it at the wall. Her siblings that were in the cabin took one look at her face, then looked at the dagger, and quickly exited. They had learned that when Annabeth was mad, you shouldn't be around. You could loose an arm or something.
She yelled, and it could be heard through camp. Some recognised it, and quickly continued with whatever they were doing, but others had to wonder what it was.
Annabeth sat down on her bed, and breathed out. She had an idea.
She found a spray hose in the horse stables where they clean the horses, and said, "Oh Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, accept my offering. Show me Thalia Grace."
Thalia's face appeared in front of her. She was just reloading her quiver, stocking it with new arrows.
She saw Annabeth. "Hey, Annie! How are you?" Thalia said all that with a smile. The two girls were like sisters, they were so close.
"I'm fine. But don't call me Annie agan, or I will throw my knife at you."
Thalia raised an eyebrow. "Without your knife in your sheath, Annie? I know you're mad, you know. Your face is all red and you don't have your knife so either a) you threw it at the wall in your anger, b) you skewered Percy with it, but I doubt you would skewer him beacuse you loooove him," Annabeth smiled, that was Thalia. Always teasing her with the most personal things she ever told her. "Or c)," Thalia continued, "You 'accidentally' hit Drew with it in Capture the Flag and still didn't get it back. but I think it's option number a."
"Do I really look that mad?" Annabeth asked.
Thalia looked at her with her are-you-serious? expression. "Girl, have you looked at yourself? Your face is red, you had a furious expression, and you probably stomped across camp. Didn't you notice all the people making a path for you when you walked through? Or the campers that just left the tables when you came in? Don't ask me how I know they did, I know you. You can be pretty scary…" Thalia shivered.
"Anyways, what's the reason? Oh wait, I know. Percy was as stupid as always and didn't catch an obvious hint. That made you mad and frustrated. You stomped down here, iris-messaging me, to ask the Wise Thalia, Lieutenant of the Hunters, Daughter of Zeus. Make sure to note all of the capitals."
Annabeth rolled her eyes. Sometimes, Thalia and Percy were just so cocky. Oh well, she lov—uhm, liked both of them for that. Yes, definitely liked them.*
"Exactly that. But it got worse." Thalia made a face. "Before I could go to my cabin to chuck my knife at the wall, I passed Drew and Lacy."
Thalia looked quite angry. Whatever she said about Annabeth being scary, she looked pretty scary too… "What did that slut do now?" she asked.
"Thalia!" Annabeth scolded. "But she said that I was a bitch and that I didn't have the guts to ask Percy on a date." It was like she was being stabbed all over again- and hurt the wound even more.
"Now I really hope you 'accidentally' stabbed her." Annabeth smiled. Thalia was just awesome that way.
"Yeah, so do I." She replied.
"Anyway, on a scale of 1-10, how ignorant and oblivious was Percy?"
"15."
"that bad?"
"Yeah."
"Wow. Even for him?"
"Yeah."
"He is so stupid."
"Tell me about it."
"No, YOU tell ME about it. what happened exactly?"
"Well, we were on the pier, just talking—"
"You sure you were just talking? Not, oh, I don't know, making out?"
"THALIA!" Annabeth felt her face heat up.
"Okay, okay, carry on."
"Well, so we were just talking, when I said 'I like this friend of mine. We've been friends for years, but I'd like to tell him I want to be more. How do I say it? He goes to camp, is a good friend, is very cute and funny and helpes me.' Like, could I be any more obvious?"
"Well, actually, you just grab him by the shirt, go to a corner, and make out. That would skip all of this drama."**
"Oh. My. Gods. You did NOT just say that. You are so dead next time I see you!"
Thalia grinned. "As always. But look, I'm still alive!"
"But then he just ran away, like nothing happened. I hate it!"
"But you loooooove him!" Thalia teased.
"Thalia…"
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm dead. Whatever. Do I have to kick some sense into him next time I come to camp?"
"Please. If you don't I will. Oh wait, idea. You fry him, I skewer him."
Thalia grinned. "I would like that!"
Percy was listening to the last few senetences. He couldn't figure out who they were talking about.***
"Annabeth?" He said, opening the stable doors a bit.
Annabeth whipped around. Thalia looked at Percy with wide eyes through the IM.
"Percy," Annabeth said with a red face. Thalia couldn't tell if it was because of the anger or embarrasment. All she knew was she didn't want to be Percy at that moment.
"How long excactly have you been listening to our conversation?"
"Uhmm… I only heard from the part that Thalia was going to be dead…"
Annabeth's face turned back to normal slowly. "Oh, okay. Go ahead to sword practice. I'll be there in a minute."
"All right. See you there." Percy said, before quickly leaving.
The last thing he heard was, "Whew, that was close. I swear, Thalia Grace, you are so dead." Then Thalia's voice said, "I know." He could hear her smile.
Ta-da! Aren't you proud of me? I like the chapters with Thalia, she's just awesome that way :).
*Don't you crazy people get any ideas, Ananbeth loves Thalia like a sister. Don't go making a ThaliaxAnnabeth fic now, that would be just plain weird, and scar me for life!
** Thanks to Lily for the idea!
***As usual…
AAAAHHHH! Only 14 days until MoA! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG… *CONTINUES FOR FIVE MINUTES*… OMG OMG OMG! SO EXCITED! AND YES, CAPS LOCK IS NECESSARY! BTW, I wrote this on the 18th
Hope you liked it!

Hey everyone! My name is Kelly (on FF I'm IceCreamGurl6455), and I've been beta-ing this story since...*checks PM history*...last chapter.
Um.
Yeah, Alex told me to write a note to all of you lovely people at the bottom of the chap, but I have absolutely no idea what to say...
I'm a girl (kind of obvious from the username). I live in the USA. I despise the phrase "YOLO". My favorite band is Rise Against. I absolutely love the Mediator series by Meg Cabot. My favorite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Heath Bars (chocolate covered english toffee) are my downfall. I like to find random, amazing covers of songs by good bands on YouTube.
...so yeah. Just a little bit about me.
Anyway, I hope you don't find any mistakes in this chapter (it means I'm doing my job well!) and that you enjoyed reading it. (I know I did, Alex.) Make sure you review! Feel free to PM me and say hi, and if you have any questions for me or about FanFiction in general, don't hesitate to ask. I will try to answer them as well as I can.
Oh, and I hardly ever eat McDonald's and have never met the president.
Peace out~ IceCreamGurl6455
Yeah, for who didn't understand yet, Alex, well, actually Alexandra, is my real name. Just so you know. Now, the real bye!
Oh, and I despise the term 'YOLO' too. If you want to know why, watch it'skingsleybitch's video about it. And I have never met the president either, but he is cool. For more information, please visit my profile. Now say that with a formal voice that you would hear over an intercom.
Buh-Bye!
