Chapter: The thrill ride of love
Time: In the Lighting thief, when Percy and Annabeth take a ride into the stream to retrieve Ares' shield.


I was a little nervous about how we could get our hands on Ares' shield. This cave was giving me a weird feeling... like something was waiting to get us, like this was trap. My brain was running to work out a plan. If we could just sail into the water and grab it carefully before-

"I don't know. Just a feeling. Annabeth, come with me"

Percy broke all my thoughts at once. And a somewhat…- awkward, thought entered my mind.
The picture of me and Percy sitting next to each other in a heart shaped tube sailing in the water… No way, was that about to happen! My cheeks colored and I failed to bring my blush down.

"Are you kidding?" I said, as my cheeks only got a little bit brighter.

"What's the problem now?" He demanded.

'Stupid seaweed brain' I thought.

"Me, go with you to the.... 'Thrill Ride of love'? How embarrassing is that? What is somebody saw me?" I spit out. Later hoping wouldn't be offended. Because I didn't mean to be, well- mean. Percy seemed to think about this thought for the first time and his cheeks colored up too. But he answered almost immediately.

"Who's going to see you?"

He looked frustrated. I stared at him blankly.

"Fine. I'll do it myself." He turned around irritated.

Yeah right, Percy doing this himself- that will end up in a mess… So regretfully I followed him. I didn't want to make it harder for Percy, I wanted to help. But that doesn't mean i liked the idea of us together in the tunnel of love. And the whole way down I'm pretty sure, I muttered how stupid Percy was, and how his head was full of kelp.

We reached the boat and I saw Ares shield. My mind was quickly working out a plan as me and Percy got in the tube and started sailing down the river.
There were mirrors surrounding us. And I saw just how dreadful we looked. Our eyes tired and our faces scarred. My tangled hair pulled in a loose ponytail.

I quickly focused on another thought and looked over at Percy. He was holding the scarf of Aphrodite.

No way! I'd heard the legend of that scarf, whoever sniffed it, would fall in love with the next person they saw. And I was Not going to let that happen. I snatched the scarf and stuffed it in my pocket.

"Oh no you don't. Stay away from that love magic"
"What?"
I rolled my eyes. I wasn't about to explain how it would have made Percy fall in love with.... well I was the next person.... me.
"Just get the shield, Seaweed Brain, and let's get out of here."

Percy managed to grab the shield, but as soon as he touched it....
"Wait" I said
'too late"
"There's another Greek letter on the side of the boat another Eta. This is a trap" I explained hoping Percy would shut up and comprehend.
"Guys!" Grover yelled.
Nets erupted from the ceiling and arrows shot toward us.

"We have to get out," He said.

Thank you for stating the obvious, Percy!!!
"Duh!" I shouted.
Me and Percy jumped out and ran.
We heard a loud speaker. 'Live to Olympus in one minute... Fifty nine, fifty eight"

How could I have missed this, I was mad at myself for not understanding earlier. It was obviously a trap...
I quickly explained to Percy.
Just then tiny metallic things crawled out of the microphones and my heart thumped. They were, they were, they were........... SPIDERS!
I screamed.
'Spiders!" I said "Sp-Sp-Ahhhhh!

I fell backward in terror. The spider's just seemed to brain wash me. I screamed horribly hoping someone would help me.
Percy grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the boat. And we climbed back inside it, as I kicked the spiders away from my skin.
This was my worst fear... my heart was racing.

"Calm down! Help me, Annabeth!Please! " Percy screamed. But I couldn't do anything- I was paralyzed and screaming with fear. We were running out of time.

I could hear Percy and Grover making some sort of plan. But the spiders were pinching me now. I kept screaming...and I mean loud, horrible screams.
Pipes erupted and I was pulled into the water. Helpless, and I was probably crying too.

Percy pulled me into the next to him and fastened my seat belt. Even though I was paranoid because of the spiders, I wasn't able to stop butterflies in my stomach, at the tight grip of Percy's hands on my waist. I didn't have much time to think about that, as a tidal wave hit us. We spun around in circles like a whirlpool.
I wanted to do a lot of things... like be useful, or thank Percy.

I held my breath, my heart was racing but I forced myself to calm down. We slipped into the darkness, and me and Percy held on tight, we were both screaming as we sailed down with speed. I looked at Percy helplessly. His kelp brain was working an idea. And I have to give him credit for that.

"unfasten your seat belt," He yelled.
That was his idea!? And I just gave him credit!...
"Are you crazy?"
"Unless you want to get smashed to death."
I stared at Percy blankly. A thousand thought crossing my mind.... like why he wanted to unfasten our belts... or how Percy could stay so calm, and be sarcastic at a time like this. He truly was 'one of a kind'

"We're going to have to jump for it" He explained.
My eyes widened, but I quickly understood what he was processing in his kelp brain- and his plan could be insane enough, to barley work.
I gripped Percy's hand really tight as the gates got closer.
"On my mark, "He said.
That was my worst nightmare. Percy's mark... we could rather just feed ourselves to wild dogs.
"No! On my mark!"
"What?"
"Simple physics" I began explaining till finally Percy agreed.
I hesitated.... wait wait ... wait.... "Now!" I yelled.
The boat under us exploded. I did it! I was right! We got a lot of height on our jump.... maybe a little too much....
We crashed straight into a billboard...

So let's just say that... my first ride in a love tunnel wasn't exactly what I was expecting it to be. I never expected to be sitting next to Percy, anyway. Nor did I ever expect to be swarmed with spiders, and in a struggle to keep my life. But I owed my life, to seaweed brain, right now. And I guess I should tell him thanks... and maybe, sorry for freaking out.... just maybe.


How was that? I'm not really confident with this chapter, but I hope you guys like it! Please give me some feed back!

The next chapter will be include three short percabeth moments in one chapter. You can look forward to Annabeth's POV, when she apologized for freaking out in the tunnel of love, when she states percy as her friend, and their good bye after the summer!

Please review, and I'll begin writing the next chapters! Thanks! REVIEW PLEASE!
