Title: Box of Crayons

Summary: Because of a box of crayons, Percy and Annabeth are best friends for life. They share their food, their secrets, and even each other's first kiss. All of a sudden, Percy's move causes their fairy tale friendship to splinter and rain clouds to appear. But when the green-eyed boy comes back, will everything remain back to the way it was?

Pairings: Percabeth, obviously. Little, well some hints of Tratie, Thalico and Jasper.

Warning: Swearing, dark themes at some parts; rarely. May be Out of Character, but when the story is AU (AH), it's bound to happen, though I try to keep them in character. For the sake of the book, the Stolls are twins in this, alright? Sorry if there are mistakes, I try my best. And thank you to my beta: BlueBerrySourStraps and Johanna... who is just here :D

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or anything copyrighted mention here, however, I do own the plot and it would suck if someone just steals the plot I worked hard, stressfully planning. Please, don't.

Point of View: Annabeth's first, then Percy's. THEN Third Person..sorry for the confusion, I change my mind easily.

Author's Note: Hello! So, this was my favourite chapter to plan so far and I'm excited writing it:) Johanna: I can bet that this is based on a true story. I AM THIS CLOSE TO 400 and I seriously am touched and overwhelmed at all the wonderful comments you give me. Seriously, all of you deserve more credit, thank you. Sorry for the OOCness as well as any typos and grammatical errors.

OKAY, I NEED YOU TO READ THE NOTE AT THE BOTTOM. I SAY THIS A LOT BUT I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY.

[Guess the song/band and you'll get a sneak peak of the next chapter!]

"Throw it away. Forget yesterday.

We'll make the great escape!

We won't hear a word they say. They don't know us anyway

Watch it burn, let it die...

'Cause we are finally free tonight!

"Thalia, I just don't understand what you're saying!"

I held the phone on my ear and sighed. I swiveled the chair around as I waited for Thalia's respond. Thalia groaned, and I can practically feel her fuming radiating through my phone.

"What don't you understand?! It's so simple!" Thalia exclaimed, and I already imagined her vein ready to pop.

I bit back a laughter and quivered my lips. "Mmm."

"Annabeth," Thalia began and I can note that she's trying a much softer and lighter approach. "the plan is, we're going to test Percy. See if he's still the same boy he was years ago..."

I arched a brow, finally understanding where's she's getting to, but I can't help but be a little puzzled at why she's doing this and what does it have to do with me. "Why?"

"Annie! We could be wrong! It's not fair if we're rude to him if he hadn't changed one bit. It's injustice I tell ya'!" Thalia protested, a declaring tone marched in and took over her voice at the end.

I chuckled, rolling my eyes at her, despite how she couldn't see it. "Alright...but what do I have to do with this?"

"Well it's a Saturday and you probably have nothing to do aside from studying-"

Before I can protest at her lack of demurral towards me, she beat me to it and counter argued her proposition. "Annabeth, shut up, you know it's true."

I scoffed, frowning. "Pfft. My schedule is empty for the first time in weeks, I beg to differ, Thals."

Thals chaffed. "Whatever, Annie," Before I can point at her force of habit, she trailed on. "Anyway, we're going to the mall today. We, being co. Anyway, we'll test Percy there."

I waived her off. "Okay, fast forward to my role."

Thalia pursed her lips at my sudden grouse. "It's your job to invite Percy." She said simply, and I dropped my phone; startled.

I scoured the ground for it aimlessly, patting it as I searched -touched- for my phone. When it was in my grasp, I took out my frustrations. "I beg your pardon?!"

Thalia smirked, you can practically hear the rustling of her lips merging into a smirk. "Annabeth, you have no choice. Remember, I still have the video..."

I stammered my breathing and my cheeks went bright red. I gurgled and turned incomprehensible. "Wh-what? Yo-you w-would-wouldn't d-d-dare." I stuttered, my voice flattering from embarrassment.

Thalia guffawed on the other line, her laughter forming into an anatomy of a mock. I glared inwardly, but found no courage to do so outwardly from my face frozen due to the humiliation and the bashfulness. I swallowed, and spoke.

"Thals," I warned, my eyes squinting in a form of a glare. Eventually, Thalia's laughter dialed down to my pleasure but held stifles there and now.

"Alright," Thalia chuckled softly. "So, I take it you have no choice."

I gritted my teeth. "Really, now?"

Thalia snickered and clasped her hands together. I switched my phone to the other hand since seriously, the other one felt like I lost circulation flow and ready to drop.

"So, yeah, go call Percy. Ask him if he wants to come to the mall with us. We'll be heading there 'round 1:30. Tell him to bring money and I'm broke but my stomach is hungry." Thalia nonchalantly said, whistling.

I snorted, realizing I already started a tab for Thalia. It all started when she forgot her money for food back in fifth grade, and old habits die hard.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, Thals," I sighed and frowned. "Seriously, blackmailing should be illegal." I murmured.

Thalia chortled at my subtle complaint. "Yeah, Yeah, Annie. Be there. And if Jackson is broke, bring money too. I'm craving for Italian!"

I smirked at my best friend, grinning ear to ear. I decided to play with her, and give her some teasings, it's payback for the blackmailing anyways. "Coincidental or not...just have Nico."

"Annabeth!" Thalia blubbered, completely baffled and outraged, and undoubtedly blushing, at my comment.

I waved her off and chuckled, having the tables turned around and is me teasing her. "Alright, Thals. Bye!"

"Bye," Thalia muttered, growling and I smirked, already embracing the imaginary glare she's giving me.

Percy's POV

"Wait, wait...so...you're asking me to go to the mall?" I blubbered on the phone, completely outraged and shocked at the sudden invite. heard

"Yes." I heard Annabeth gritting her teeth on the other line.

"Are you asking me out?" I bulged my eyes, never thought I would see the day.

There was silence on the other line and I let out a breath of relief. Due to our phone history, I knew that when Annabeth doesn't answer, she's either shocked and outraged.

"NO! ...Percy, don't be ridiculous." Annabeth exclaimed, completely baffled and irritated.

"Okay, thank God. Things would be weird since- Okay...why?" Percy rolled his eyes.

"Excuse me?" Annabeth quirked, and I could just imagine Annabeth arching a brow.

"Why are you asking me to come?" I inquired, a little bit curious since everyone has been so tense lately. Cold wind brushed the both of us, as silence hit us in the gut.

I sighed when he didn't get a response. "Alright, it's cool. Don't worry 'bout it. So, yeah, 1. I'll be there."

"Mhhm. Bye." I heard Annabeth mutter those words softly before she hung up the phone.

I twisted my lips and grimaced at our conversation as I walked to my closet and changed out of my boxers.

I walked to the food court, my eyes scouring for his childhood friends. All I see were numerous teenagers making up most of the human population in this mall; maybe because it's a weekend. But one group stood out. I noted several different appearances at this one particular group perched beside the table and it was no other than my best friends.

I strolled to the table with slight nervousness as they took my view in. I noticed all of my friends seemed to be in deep conversation and I felt like an intruder, chiming in out of nowhere.

I coughed frigidly and awkwardly, which caused the attention of all five of them; Thalia, Annabeth, Connor, Travis, and Nico .Thalia who seemed to be clothed in a leather jacket and worn down jeans smiled at me.

Nico, who was clad in black, waved for me to come sit at the empty seat beside him. I shot him a nod and walked, passing crooked smiles to the rest of my friends.

I noticed Connor's glaring and Annabeth grimacing from the corner and I couldn't help but wonder why. Nonetheless, I waved it off, as Travis opened his mouth.

"Hey, Perce." He seemed a little bit more open from before and I grinned at that.

I recognized Thalia whispering in Nico's ear very loud, and I chuckled inwardly since she still holds the habit.

"Okay, commence the operation. Test him, GO!" Thalia muttered in Nico's ear quite harshly to which he rolled his eyes.

Nico pursed his lips and looked at me. "So, eating time?"

"Hm, yep. We'll see a movie afterwards." Annabeth piped in as she got up.

As if on cue, everyone rose from their seats and marched to their preferred fast food place. I don't know if it's just my infinite wariness, but I can feel eyes following me; judging and analyzing my every move. I whirled around subtle, like a pro since NCIS really does help; NCIS L.A...since normal one is just plain out boring.

But my view really assured me seeing it was just my friends, but their squinted eyes and observant postured made me slightly uncomfortable. Nonetheless, I waved it off.

I look around and found a Chinese booth, and my stomach rumbled at the thought. I grinned, inhaling the aroma as I trailed after it.

"I'll have some Beef Fried Noodles, please." I told the worker who nodded at me and got me those fancy cups that was incredibly cool.

"Tsk. Failed the food portion. Isn't he a sucker for Italian?" I heard Travis whisper to someone, and that brought my attention.

When the lady with the hairnet turned around and passed me my noodles, I spoke. "I'll have Blue Raspberry Crush."

"Hah! Blue foods, er- drinks. Passed that portion!" Thalia huzzaed, but kept it to minimum volume.

"Thals," Annabeth hissed before I twirled around and jerked my head in their direction.

"What?" I needled them, trying to pry into their conversation which seems to be relating me. Everyone's eyes looked at me except Annabeth who had her eyes locked on her sneakers.

"Nothing," Connor waved it off as he walked away from the scene and ordered his own food.

As everyone left, everyone except Thalia, it was only her and I. Thalia walked to me, and I groaned, already replaying the times she did this move.

"Yes, Thals?" I asked, suddenly feeling like her tension towards me was slowly faltering.

"Uhm, Percy, remember that time I saved your life? No? Well, because you were probably overwhelmed and shocked I did all my power to risk my life and save you because-" Thalia ranted and I rolled my eyes.

"Thals, to the point?" I sighed and stared at her.

"Well, I'd like to cash in an IOU," I moaned and grunted, like old times since this was a regular routine whenever the gang goes out. "And, I forgot my wallet-"

"Yeah, forgot."

"-and since I already saved your life, maybe you could do me a solid and buy me lunch. Afterall, I did SAVE YOUR LIFE." Thalia continued on with her lie, looking at the food in my hands.

Realizing I was in pretty much frigid and awkward terms with her, maybe a little money will loosen up the tension and we can go back to before. I sighed and took out my wallet, passing her a 15. "Fine."

Thalia grinned at me and grabbed the money in excitement. "Thanks, Perce." She winked at me before walking away, like a hungry lion, eying every single food store here.

I rolled my eyes and went back to my seat.

"You gave Thals money didn't you?" Nico arched a brow as he took bite of his own burger.

I shrugged and nodded.

Nico smirked and turned to face Travis. "Point two." He mouthed, or at least that's what I thought he did.

Connor shot his brother a look who pushed him closer to me. "So, Perce...do you still like...er..pancakes?"

Travis sent his brother and outraged and 'what-the-fuck' look. I knitted my eyebrows in confusion.

"Uh, I'm more of a waffle person." A puzzled expression rose on my face at the question.

"2 points vs 2 points, tsk, he's doing bad." Travis muttered to Nico. Seriously, what's up with the whispering? Why whisper when it's loud enough to be heard?

Eventually, Annabeth and Thalia; who seemed to be carrying two trays of food, was summoned and is not seating in front of us.

"FIFTEEN DOLLARS CAN GET YOU TWO TRAYS OF FOOD?!" I asked incredulously, eyeing the food Thalia had arranged to circle her.

Thalia shrugged and grinned. "Well, a little sweet talking can help you get free food."

I rolled my eyes, noting how she flirted with the cash register people to get free food. Goodness, I wonder why she hasn't gotten caught yet, and why people still fall for it. I remember, Thalia once pretended her mother was sick when she was at Cold Stone and how ice cream was her mother's favourite meal. The poor old lady bought it and somehow, Thalia convinced her to give her a free one too.

I shook my head in disbelief and got back to eating my noodles; feeling things were starting to feel like old times again.

"I think we should watch the Conjuring." Thalia suggested, sipping her drink.

"Already watched it. Bianca clinged on to me the whole time." Nico chuckled as he looked at the showtimes again.

"Was it good?" Thalia asked nonchalantly, eying the movie posters like the rest of us.

Nico's grin was enough for Thalia to want to watch it as well.

"Oh, Planes!" Travis exclaimed, pointing at the poster excitedly.

"Watched it." I noted, my cheeks tinting red a slight.

Connor looked at everyone else. "Add a point."

Seriously, is that like some secret code thing that developed in New York while I was gone?

"Oh, the Butler looks lovely." Annabeth chimed in, looking at the movie poster.

Travis rolled his eyes. "Can we settle on a movie please?"

"Either way is cool by me, I have no money anyway. "Thalia shrugged, and as if on cue, everyone groaned.

Thalia feigned a look of concert. "Excuse me? I do not borrow money that often!"

"Thalia," Annabeth sighed "I started a tab for you."

Thalia glared at all of us. "You, all of you," she snarled viciously at all of us which we returned with matching amused expressions "Are out to get me."

We ended up watching Despicable Me 2, only because it was the only showing that wasn't sold out due to our bickering over movies which caused us to stall. Thalia managed to get in by sweet talking the poor freshman boy in charge.

But because we were still late, the only seats that we managed to take was the first row. So, right now, I'm craning my neck which is aching sourly, watching the film. The 3D really did not help the case at all.

"You know, if I had my glasses, I would really hate you all right now," Connor whispered to all of them and we all stifled a laugh, reminiscing the times when Connor didn't have his contacts and we would watch 3D movies only to tease him since glasses on top of glasses isn't exactly his cup of tea.

"Percy, Annabeth, I'm hungry. Come." Thalia hissed at us as she summoned me.

"What? why?" I asked, causing everyone to glare at me; the mom's didn't help at all.

"You two are the only one who has money left." I rolled my eyes as we three ushered ourselves out the theater.

As we got outside, Thalia rammed her body towards the food menu, analyzing every aspect of it.

"You know what. screw your money. The guy there is cute. I could probably get something out of him." Thalia smirked causing both Annabeth and I to roll out eyes.

We watched the overly confident girl walk to the guy with an overly too pleasing smile on her face.

"Hey," She smiled sweetly at the guy by the popcorn stand.

The guy seemed dazed and already whipped by Thalia's charm. I rolled my eyes, but was impressed. "Hi."

"I'll have uhm, one nachos, one poutine, one large popcorn, one large drink, oh, and, sour patch kids looks lovely." Thalia ended it off with a grin while the boy bulged his eyes out at the girl.

"Are they all for you?"

"Yes,"

"Alright," The boy went to the back at got out the food.

"Thalia, you know, if you keep doing this. You'll get caught one day." Annabeth chastised the rolling eyed girl.

Thalia scoffed. "I could probably brainwash the police officer as well."

The boy came back with Thalia's items in his hands and a goofy smile on his face. "That would be $30.67 ma'am."

Thalia put on her act that I was so used to seeing, mainly because I fell for it every time. She patted her pockets, feigning a search for money and looked at the boy with a mask of shock.

"Oh my gosh! I don't have my money!" Thalia gasped, looking apologetically at the boy. "I'm sorry, I'd have to go then, you were sweet, thank you."

Just when Thalia was walking away, the boy called out to her. Thalia grinned mischievously before she turned around with fake look of confusion.

"Hm?"

"I'll pay for you. Just let this be a one time thing." The boy smiled sweetly at Thalia who squealed in delight.

"Thank you! You're too sweet!" Thalia peppered the boy with compliments as she walked towards Annabeth and I with her arms clutching on her food and a triumph grin on her face.

"Thalia, Thalia. when will you ever learn?" I sighed, stealing a popcorn from her as we headed back to the movie house.

Thalia grinned. "I won't get in trouble. He's the manager."

"The ending of the movie really got me." Connor cooed, as we all walked out of the movie theater.

"Yeah, seriously, right in the gut." I added, and Connor laughed. All of a sudden, Connor just stopped laughing and looked at me, biting his lips.

"Look, Perce, I'm really sorry about being so harsh on you." Connor stammered, his eyes locked on the ground. I realized everyone has went to the nearest store and it was just Connor and I.

"Ah, well. It's cool, I understand. It's fine." I gave Connor a smile, feeling just like old times and Connor returned it.

Everything just seemed the way it was. Everything was in tactic. Thalia was making all of us broke, Nico and I were joking again, Travis and I made a fool of ourselves at the movies, and Connor and I were on good terms once again. The only person that made everything a downer was Annabeth, and honestly, I just don't know.

"I think they went to the Disney Store." Connor told me as he began walking towards the store.

I chuckled and trailed after him.

I saw my friends all over the place. Nico was off colouring with Travis and watching the cartoons they had on display and Annabeth and Thalia was off at the costume sections. All of my friends noticed Connor and I and they all came to us like magnets attracted to magnets.

"This is so cool." Thalia breathed as she looked around the store.

Everyone was pretty hectic here. Nico and I were in the toy section pressing away the push me buttons and making tons of ruckus. Random creepy noises from the dolls were jammed in everyone's ears as Nico and I pressed it simultaneously.

"Hello, I'm Belle." I pressed the button and Nico chuckled.

Nico pressed the button beside the Belle. "Rawr! I'm the beast!"

I grinned and started pressing numerous buttons belonging to the dolls, creating a conversation.

"I can't find my slipper- and I swimmed away-because-I am Iron Man." I finish pressing the doll's button and waiting for Nico's turn.

"You are m-crazy." Nico made a quick save and pressed a different button. He grinned at me.

"Will you be my princess, Cinderella?" Nico bursted out laughing and rolled his eyes.

He hesitated on the buttons and looked around. "No...No, YOU BEAST!"

Nico and I broke down in pure laughter causing many children to make abrupt stops and watch us in horror and fright. This made our laughter increase an infinite more.

"What the hell are both of you doing?" Thalia questioned as she walked in front of us, her hands perched on her waist.

I stifled my laughter and tried my best not to look at Nico, knowing if I do, I'll laugh all over again. "Nothing," I waved her off.

"OH MY GOD. LOOK AT THIS. THERE IS A YELLOW BRICK ROAD." Travis yelled out and I rolled my eyes. Nonetheless, Nico, Thals and I ambled towards the rest of the gang. All of them seemed mesmerized and hypnotized at the road.

"Do you think-" Annabeth began, but Connor cut her off.

"Possibly. Let's follow it." The younger Stoll said misty.

"Guys, this is ridiculous-oh, alright." Thalia sighed as we followed the road. My feet were walking slowly and my eyes were locked on the yellow brick road, hoping for a lion or a tin man to appear out of nowhere.

As if we were possessed simultaneously, we spoke "There's no place like home"

"Oh my God, there's a tunnel. I say we all go." I declared and everyone, even Annabeth, agreed.

Like little children high on sweets, all of us ran to this tunnel decorated like a castle. It had light beams radiating from it and it truly was majestic, screaming 'go underneath me, go!', if that didn't sound pedophilia at all.

One by one, the mature 16 years olds we are went underneath and chuckled throughout. We pretended to have anxiety attacks in it, when in reality, we were just way too tall to fit.

Now, we were all sitting down, in the center of the whole store, none other than laughing our hearts out.

That is until a tall, looming, and lean figure stood in front of us with his mustache mocking the boy's hairless face. The man was the usual epitome of uptight managers who honestly could care less about children despite him working at Disney, which is like the home to all little children fan girls.

"Ahem." His voice was weak yet demanding, soft yet harsh, and old, yet full of power. But aside from his voice, I noticed one thing; the pin on his shirt that read; Manager.

Oh, we're screwed.

We all looked alarmed towards Annabeth, signaling her to take the torch and get us out of this.

"May we help you?" Annabeth pulled on the mask and smiled sweetly at the Manager of Disney.

The man coughed and changed his posture to look more tough. "Yes, actually. You are terrifying these children!" He indicated to what he thought would be children clinging on to their parents and screaming bloody murder but instead he got a kids colouring.

Nico stifled his laughter along with the rest of us.

"Uhm, they were crying to me a while ago." The man reassured us.

Annabeth looked amused. "Alright."

The manager fixed his face to look more stern and confident. "To the point; I want you all out of this store."

Annabeth choked and looked taken aback; since this is her first time being asked to get out while for us, it's a regular routine. "Excuse me? Are you kicking us out?"

The manager held back a snicker and smile sinisterly; mimicking a villain. He nodded and ushered us outside. Just as we were nearing the exit, Thalia opened that big mouth of hers and made the situation much worse;

"YOU MOTHER FUCKERS CAN'T HANDLE MY SHIT." She said before she waltzed out of the room in what she categorizes as style.

"Percy, you passed." Thalia congratulated me while she patted my back. A look of confusion painted my face while everyone glared at Thalia.

Thalia looked warily at the others and forced a crooked smile at me. "Heh, yeah. I mean, you passed the ... tunnel! At Disney...yeah!"

Everyone seemed to roll their eyes and that made the situation made it worse since I felt excluded.

"Anyway, the stores are closing, I say we ditch." Travis murmured, looking around as all the stores were pulling down the fences.

Thalia put away her phone and looked at all of us. "Alright, cool, my brother is here to pick me up. (1) Bye folks!"

"Yeah, we have to catch the bus. Bye Perce, cousin." Connor winked at all of us, as he, Nico and Travis left leaving two very awkward teenagers.

The scene wasn't exactly pleasant. There, in the middle of the mall, is two awkward teenagers. The scene became too tense to the point where I began whistling.

Annabeth suddenly made noises as she searched her messenger bag for something. She rustled through the items and patted down her pockets as a frown fitted her lips. She looked around frantically and I scrunched my eyebrows.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," She muttered, waving me off. Annabeth cursed silently which occasionally happens if something bad happened. She seemed to be having a mental debate in her head as a look of constipation was written on her face. she then turned to me, frowning and sighing.

"I can't find my tickets and Thalia spent all my money." She gritted, grimacing at the sudden aid.

Oh.

"Ah, well, it's fine. I'll give you a ride." I offered, awaiting for a response.

Annabeth looks a little bit hesitant and wary but I don't know why. She sighed and nodded grimly. Together, we walked out the mall and looked for my car.

Throughout the whole car ride, as if I've been cursed by it, was silence. It was silence. Silence. Awkward Silence. I've come to notice that I use the word awkward heaps, but to think of it, it fits nicely with the situation every time.

I convinced Annabeth to sit shotgun again and to be honest, I don't understand why she always claim the back seats since when we were younger, when my mom or hers would drive us to places, we would fight and bicker for shotgun. I don't understand the avoidance she's doing to me. I mean, I questioned it but I let it slight thinking it was just a sudden change. But when my friends, who I labeled doing the same move as Annabeth, opened up to me, I don't think it was just a matter of change but a matter of choice. Yes, Annabeth hose to ignore me, and I don't know why. I'm peeved at it, yes, but I never really bothered doubting it since I find it needless to the point to doubt our friendship; always thinking it was strong, but right now, I'm 100 percent full out losing faith in it.

When it became red, I sighed and looked at Annabeth, the quick breath release being the only sound other than outside noises, in the car.

"Annabeth, why are ignoring me?" I looked at her for a mere second before adding some gas and made a subtle turn around the corner.

Annabeth looked baffled and startled at my question. Her lack of words told me she was truly loss for words. "Percy, what are you talking about?" She muttered, looking forward

I sighed. "See, there it is again. Why are you avoiding me? You seemed to be running away from me like I was a plague or something."

Annabeth pursed her lips and looked at me, just to prove her point, but suddenly looked away. "Don't be ridiculous! There is no need for you to make such an absurd comment, much less acting way too comical!" She looked at me like I was stupid, which I did, since her witty comments really deflated my brain or IQ for that matter.

I rolled my eyes and puckered my lips. "Whatever. Can you just tell me why, please?" I pleaded, looking at her.

"Eyes on the road!" Annabeth shrieked and I grimaced, following her orders.

Annabeth gutted out some air and looked at me dubiously and gingerly.

She seemed to be treating this subject which I intended it to be just a topic but she made it like a life threatening situation when in fact, it's no big deal.

Annabeth seemed hesitant on what she's about to say next.

"Percy, you're just imagining things, okay? I am not ignoring you. Now eyes on the road and get me home." To contradict from her point, she looked forward rather than at me.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Okay," I murmured, completely unconvinced but nonetheless, decided to discard and relinquish the subject.

For now.

(1) ...Jason will make an appearance at one point, so will the Romans and other TLH characters...just minor. I hope that's fine. One note, I'm not sure if I can make all PJO characters have a role since it's a little chaotic and hard for me to do so, but I'll mention them.

So...this chapter may not be well written but I had fun writing it, and I guess that's all that matters (shout out to fourteen miles away ) :) So, the majority of this chapter is based off experience, really, especially the movies and the mall part ;) The ending is really vital and essential to the story and really hints the upcoming chapter. A little note, the ending won't be the last of it. I'll edit this later and post the edited chapter tomorrow.

IMPORTANT SHIT:

Anyway, I'm starting High School next week and that's a big deal for me. I really need to focus on my school work then, and besides, my mom would be hiding my laptop away from me. One time, she brought it to work. Anyway, I really do hate saying this but updates won't be as frequent. I'm going to try to think of a plan, and try to make the lessen updates temporarily. Like, going to the library on Monday. But, to make the updates frequent at one point, less frequent updates would start since I have to pre write the chapters which I am completely BEHIND at. So, I hope all of you will understand, sometimes I feel like I'm putting all my time into this but I guess it's fine since it's what I love. Nonetheless, I still very much hope all of you will stick with me since that's what I fear of when I update tell me you are, that would take the load off of my shoulders.

However, I'm writing the next chapter now. To make the process much easier, I need all of your help. You see, I'm stuck on ideas and such.I just need ideas and moments in which Annabeth and Percy are best friends again, like the way they were before. I'd love that. Seriously, one idea would make such a difference. I suggest all of you to check out the link area of my profile since I worked my ass off making it. Also, I know I haven't been answering my PMs lately, and I apologize for that, if you'd like...just email me (on my profile) I guarantee you the replies would be faster.

R&R "YOU MOTHER FUCKERS CAN'T HANDLE MY SHIT."
