Percy's POV

"Which shop do you wanna go to Annabeth?" I asked. "How about ummm... that one over there?" she answered. "Okay." I responded as we walked into a music store. It was still morning and we were looking around to see what we could find to help with our auditions. "I'm thinking of playing the guitar, how about you?" I asked Annabeth while she was looking at some flutes. "I'm probably gonna sing and play the piano or keyboard." "Since when do you sing?" I asked surprised. "Umm... I don't know, I'm just gonna see what I can do." she said. We looked around some more and then something caught my eye. I saw a sea green guitar that kinda had a wave design and it reminded me of the sea. (See picture of guitar on my profile) I looked at the price tag, it was 6 drachmas. I reached into my pocket to see if I had some drachmas, there were 10. Good, I thought, just enough. I went to show Annabeth. "Hey Annabeth! Look at this cool guitar!" I exclaimed when I found her in the store. Annabeth looked up from a piano that she was looking at. "Cool." was all she said, then she looked back at the piano that she was observing. I looked at it too. The piano was a mini, glossy, black grand piano with even an iPod docking station so I'm guessing it was electric. (See picture of piano in my profile) Overall, I could understand why Annabeth seemed to like it a lot. "How much does it cost?" I asked her. "Are you thinking of buying it because it's okay, I can buy it myself." she said. She is so stubborn. "What was that Perseus?!" a voice boomed in my head, probably Athena. I'm sorry! I didn't mean it Lady Athena, I thought in my head. Athena didn't respond so I guess I was okay... I think. I looked at the price tag, it was 10 drachmas. Shoot, I didn't have enough drachmas to pay for it. Unless I buy the guitar later... "I only have 6 drachmas! Oh well, I guess I'll buy it later. Go pay for your guitar seaweed brain. Then we'll go grab something to eat." Annabeth said "Meanwhile, I gotta go to the washroom." She said quickly, heading towards the restrooms. Yes! I can buy the piano before she comes back and bring it to her cabin or ummm... apartment? I hurried to the cashier and bought the piano. I used the empathy link to call Grover to help. He came to the music store along with a few other satyrs who brought the piano to her apartment. I gave Grover the key to Annabeth's apartment so they could get the piano inside. Then, as Grover and the other satyrs left, Annabeth came back and asked if I bought the guitar yet. "No, I didn't buy it, I don't have enough either." I explained. "Okay then, we can both buy our instruments later! Let's go get something to eat."

Annabeth's POV

I knew that Percy bought that piano that I wanted. I saw Grover and some other satyrs carry the piano out of the music store. I know that he wanted that guitar, it matched his eyes. I had to get it for him, I had 6 drachmas and the guitar cost that much. So, when Percy was ordering our food, (BTW, the pavilion was transformed into a modern food court) I quickly found Piper, who happened to be nearby, and asked her if she could get the guitar and get it back to me. She agreed so I gave her my drachmas and waited for Percy. 5 minutes later, Piper gets backs from the music store and gives me the guitar. I thank her and promise that I would owe her a favour. Then, Percy came back so she hurried away and I hid the guitar under the table, still holding onto it. As soon a Percy sat down, I took out the guitar from under the table and he looked at me in shock. "You bought that guitar?!" he asked. "I know that you got me that piano so, I bought your guitar, your welcome." I simply stated. "Thanks." he finally said. We kept eating and talking about the auditions. Then finally, we finished eating and headed back to our own apartments. When I got into my apartment, the mini grand piano was there. I put it in a suitable spot by the wide, tall windows of my apartment. Then, I started playing with the piano, seeing how it worked. It was a pretty decent piano with a beautiful sound. I decided on a song to use for the audition and started practicing.
