An: I Do NOT Own PJO…. As Much as I wished I do….

First Fan Fic. Don't hate…..

The sky was blue outside the window.

'The color of the ocean' Percy thought to himself "and Annabeth's eyes". It was a year after the final battle. The Prophecy had been fulfilled and the Gods still reigned on Mount Olympus. Luke was still on the run. Thalia and the huntresses were still after him and they sent reports, daily or weekly depending on how close they were on his tail. It's a miracle that he's still free, because the huntresses have never gone that long without catching they're prey.

Paul and his mother had gotten married in the spring. Unfortunately, Percy still wasn't in control of his powers, and had gotten expelled the next day for carrying on and allegedly planting cherry bombs in the school toilets (AN: His power over water made the water shoot up) This being not the first school he was expelled from, was actually the last one that would accept him. So, he just moved out into his own apartment, using the money camp half-blood pays him to be their swords instructor, and didn't go to school senior year. Wise Girl moved out of her parent's house, due to her arguments with her step-mother, after she got expelled as well. She was rooming with Rachel, who was completely fed up with her father, and was trying to live on her own

The sky was darkening as he tore himself away from the window. He walked into the kitchen to get a coke, when he caught a glimpse of the clock.

"6:30?" Percy yelled "I was supposed to get Annabeth at 7:00!" He ran to his bedroom and slipped on a clean shirt, grabbed his car keys. He got to his car to realize he had no shoes, so he headed back inside. He finally got out of the parking lot, but New York traffic was in full swing. He wished he still had Blackjack. But, after last year's commotion, he was officially retired. Plus, 5 is old for a Pegasus. By the time he got to Rachel's it was 7:15.

"What took you so long, seaweed brain?" Annabeth said "you're late!"

"Can we hurry?" Percy asked "we can still get to the movie theater in time" They got there just in time, as the opening title started playing. It was an uneventful date, until halfway through the movie. Then a man, 4 rows in front of them stood up.

"Sit down!" the man behind him said. The man or monster, grew to full size, picked up the man and swallowed him whole. The theatre erupted into panic.

"Laistrygonian!" Annabeth whispered

"I thought they left when Luke was defeated" Percy said

"Apparently not!" Annabeth whispered

"Always when I'm on a date!" Percy yelled and charged the monster
