A/N: This has been sitting on my shelf long enough. I wrote it back in June, and it has gone through a major transformation! I figured all it needed was to be put up, and it would turn out absolutely amazing. And here it is!
Thanks to randomisity4arty and Guest for your answers! Y'all made my day :)
This is dedicated to randomosity4arty, for submitting her answer to chapter 18's question:
"Was she worrying about Frank breaking up with her?"
You were close. :) Frank was staring off into space, as most people do, and coincidentally, Piper was sitting across from him. Hazel was worried that Frank might be crushing on Piper.
I am so sorry that this is so late! I've been busy with school (I just found out that I didn't need a course that I decided to stick with. *facepalm* I could've had less stress all Semester...
Here's your Percabeth!
Hi Fives and High Dives
Hazel jumped into the water. "Come on, Frank, the water's fine!" Frank glanced at Percy, who looked like he just woke up. Percy stared at the sea longingly. He took off his shirt and jumped off the deck. 'I guess that does look like fun.' Frank thought.
He gulped and jumped, screaming his head off. About five feet from the water, Frank transfigured into a great white shark.
Hazel swam over and hugged Frank the shark. "What, no giant goldfish?" She teased. Frank, now a human, gasped for breath as he tried to stay afloat. Hazel laughed. "Back into fish mode it is."
Frank pouted and kissed Hazel before changing back into a Great White. Percy grinned and went underwater to keep from laughing too hard. He resurfaced and stared at the ship's mast-head in shock. "Annabeth, what are you doing up there?" He shouted and flailed his arms to get her attention. Annabeth waved back. Leo and Coach Hedge started chanting ("JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!") while Piper, Hazel chewed their nails and Frank swam around nervously.
"Annabeth, get down from there!" Percy shouted.
"Okay!" Annabeth replied loudly, and cheerfully. She jumped off the masthead, tucking her knees to her chest and screaming at the top of her lungs. Quickly, Percy created a large bubble near the surface, and Jason gathered clouds around Annabeth, barely slowing her fall.
Annabeth crashed into the sea, falling gently to the bottom of the air bubble. She grinned at Percy when he swam under. "That was so cool!" She shouted. Percy kissed her mouth hard. When he pulled away, Annabeth's vision was fuzzy. "Hi Percy," she said, dazed.
"Don't you dare do that to me again." Percy pleaded. Annabeth blinked. "Okay," she said softly. Percy sighed. "I love you, Wise Girl. And I don't want you to die in my territory."
"Can I jump again?"
"What?!"
"Please! You could go with me, if it makes you feel better!"
"Annabeth, I don't-"
She gave him her special "I-love-you-so-much-will-you-please-see-that-I-know-what-I'm-doing-here?" look, her grey eyes mesmerizing the son of Poseidon. He sighed, giving in. "One more time."
"Ten!"
"Three,"
"Six."
"Four."
"Deal!" Annabeth laughed and kissed Percy's cheek. "Now come one, you're gonna love it!"
Percy kicked against the water and they shot out of the ocean. "Annabeth!" Piper shouted. "Are you okay? You were down there for so long, I-"
"Air bubbles, Pipes." Annabeth grinned. "One of the many pros of having Percy as a boyfriend." She turned to Percy, grinning. "Now come on, Seaweed Brain, let me show you what fun is like."
Jason swam over. "Percy, I don't know if I can-"
"Relax, bro, I'll be working on it too. Trust me, it'll be fine."
"Okay," Jason said skeptically. "I just don't want to finish this quest with two less people, when we've barely started."
"We'll be fine." Percy said firmly. "Besides, it's basically a really high diving board."
"Yeah, a diving board that doesn't flex. It's supposed to flex, you know."
"Stop being so paranoid, Jason. I got this. Nothing's gonna happen."
"Percy! What are you waiting for? Get up here already!"
"Coming!" The son of Poseidon called. He closed his eyes and willed the water to bring him up to Festus's head. Annabeth was sitting cross-legged, her arms folded. "Show off." She muttered, standing up. Percy grinned. "But you love me anyway, huh Wise Girl."
"Yeah." Annabeth smiled. "And...JUMP!" She jumped over the ledge, cannonballing through the air. Percy grinned, and jumped after her.
Just a little fluffy Percabeth :3 Sorry it's late, but hey- I have like ten stories up and I refuse to keep a schedule. Next up...well, I'll just say this: You might need a box of tissues.
Love y'all,
