Hey, this is imasmartie, and I'm back with a new chapter. REVIEW, and I don't own PJO or anything publically known.

Chapter 3

I looked at my watch, it was 6:55, at Camp Half-Blood, a Greek restaurant not far from Central Park. I looked at my reflection of my phone, I was wearing black dress pants, and a blue button up shirt and a dinner jacket, I tried to tame my hair, but quickly gave up.

I looked around, I was inside already looking out for this mystery person. I heard the door open, I looked up, I noticed the startling grey eyes first. I knew who it was, but I couldn't form words. I just stared, she was wearing a simple yet elegant sea green dress. Her hair was let down, like curls, and she wasn't wearing make-up from what I can tell. But, she didn't need it, she was gorgeous.

She looked at me, "Percy?" I shook myself out of my daze, "Annabeth? Friend of Juniper?" She smiled, I could feel my heart beating even harder, "Yes, I guess you must be Grover's friend." I smiled back, "Yeah, would you like to sit down? I got a table reserved."

She stared at me, "Yeah, I'd like that." My smile widened, I offered her my arm, she took it, I led her to the reserved table, on the second floor looking out onto the city. I offered her seat, she sat, and I pushed her in, then took my own.

A waiter came by, "Can I get anything to drink for you?" I answered, "I would like a coke, with ice, Annabeth?" She answered, "Can I have a glass of sparkling water with lemon?" He answered, "Sure thing, I'll be back in a moment. You can decide what you want to order."

We said our thanks and he left, we both looked at our menus. It was mainly pasta or fancy food, I looked over, I decided on spaghetti with meatballs. The waiter came back with our drinks, "Are you ready to order?" I said, "I am, Annabeth?"

She said, "Yes, I would like the spaghetti with meatballs." He wrote that down, "For you sir?" I answered, "The same thing, thank you." He said, "Okay, coming up," then he left.

I asked, "So, what do you do for a living?" She answered, "I am an architect, for Olympus Enterprises." I said, "Really, I work there too, I'm in the marine branch. I run the exporting." She said, "Small world, huh?"

I agreed, "Yeah." She asked, "So what are your interests?" I said, "I like to swim in my free time, I also help out at the public aquarium, I like the ocean. You?" She answered, "Well, I'm a bookworm, so I like to read. But most of time I make building plans."

I said, "That's interesting, so how old are you exactly?" She looked at me funny, "That's not really a polite question." I turned red, "Sorry, I meant you look really young a-and healthy, you must be like twenty-two or something."

She chuckled, "Smooth move, Seaweed Brain." I asked, "Seaweed Brain?" She rolled her eyes, "Yes, you said you like the ocean, so your head is full of seaweed." I raised, "Yeah, okay Wise Girl?"

She laughed, "Wise Girl, that's not even an insult, more like a compliment. To answer your question I'm twenty-five, you?" I smiled, "The same."

Our food came, and we ate silently. When we finished, the bill came, I looked over, fifty bucks. Annabeth pulled out her purse, "Don't you even think about it Wise Girl, gentlemen always pay for the first date." I pulled out a fifty-five out of my wallet, I put fifty in the bill, then five on the table as a tip.

I stood up and offered my hand, "Would you like to go for a walk in central park?" She smiled at me, "Of course I would Seaweed Brain." She took my hand, and we walked out hand in hand.

We walked into Central Park, seeing the moon through the trees, we talked, laughed, and shared stories. Then we decided to go home, it was ten already. I walked her to her car, "Would you like to go out again?"

She said, "I would like that, here let me give you my number." We exchanged numbers, and then said goodbye, she pecked me on the cheek, "Thank you, for a great night." I couldn't say anything, she chuckled, and got in her car. I moved out of the way, and waved goodbye.

I watched her drive off, when she was long gone, I yelled, "Yes!" I got a few looks from a few strangers, but I didn't care, I was the happiest man alive.
