Hi! Once again, Thanks to everyone who reviewed! And I know that everyone wants to get up to BOLT! Well we have a long way there, but we will eventually get there! And also, another point of this story is to remind everyone about all these percabeth moments that build up to BOLT!

I know, I said that this chapter was going to be Annabeth Goodbye, when Percy fights Ares. But Thanks to "Dancing Goddess", who brought to my attention, that I have missed a few minor percabeth moments in between the time of 'When the meet' to 'the thrill ride of love'. So this chapter is full of small moments, of bickering between Percy and Annabeth, as well as friendship!

So enjoy!!!

This is in Annabeth POV (obviously) and this is before the 'thrill ride of love, or before Annabeth saw him as a friend', so this chapter might go back, to a stage where Annabeth thinks he's sort of 'stupid' and she doesn't see the great characteristics of him yet. But I added this, to remind us of the build up, to the friendship.


Moment: "The one."

Time: When Percy is claimed by Poseidon. (Lightning thief: Page 125)

Percy was deeply cut, with long bloody gaps in his chest.

A thought entered my mind…. My heart suddenly picked up. My mind going through a thousand thoughts, and my mouth fell open. I remembered that Percy had healed in the water, and how he caused the water pipes to explode….

Butterflies were flying crazily through my stomach.

I got a grip… What was I thinking?

I mean… Percy couldn't be.

The hellhound, that had been summoned in camp melted into a shadow and disappeared.

I took another look at Percy. His body in pain, I was surprised he still kept his pride and stood up.

"You're wounded," I told Percy. And I didn't care what it would mean, if the water healed Percy. He was severely hurt. "Quick, Percy, get in the water."

My heart pounded.

"I'm okay" he said weakly.

If the water healed him, then could he be….

"No you're not! " I shouted. I nudged Chiron. "Chiron watch this."

Percy weakly obeyed and stepped into the creek. The whole camp gathering around.

Suddenly the cuts and gaps on his chest closed up.

And my stomach did a thousand summersaults, at what I saw next. Above his head, was the symbol of a trident.

Campers gasped.

"Look, I-I don't know why," Percy said trying to apologize. "I'm sorry"

Did he even realize the trident, did he know what this meant…

"Percy" I said, pointing at the trident. "Um…"

"You're father," I murmured, still in shock. "This is really not good." Did Poseidon break his oath too?

"It is determined," Chiron announced.

"My father?" Percy asked, completely bewildered.

"Poseidon," Chiron declared. "Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of Horses. Hail, Perseus Jackson, Son of the Sea god."

Percy's mouth open, his head processing a thousand thoughts. And I understood Percy; I knew what it was like to be claimed. For Percy, it was even harder, just discovering half-bloods and suddenly being told he was a child of the sea god.

I snapped back to reality, and out of my thoughts. Percy had just been claimed by Poseidon. Poseidon had broke his oath too, and could this mean percy is the child of the prophecy. Percy was the son of a big three. He was special. He was… The one, the one that could possibly give me the opportunity I needed.


Okay next moment,

Moment: Quest.

Time: When Annabeth volunteers to be the third member of the quest.

"That's right," Chiron said. "Two companions may accompany you. Grover is one." My heart raced, I had to be the third one, I have been waiting forever. "The other has already volunteered, if you will accept her help."

I stood in the shadows, invisible.

"Gee, Percy mused. "Who else would be stupid enough to volunteer for a quest like this?"

Stupid seaweed brain! He had no idea what he was talking about. I pulled off my invisibility cap, and shimmered into view.

"I've been waiting a long time for a quest, seaweed brain." I said. "Athena is no fan of Poseidon, but if you're going to save the world, I'm the best person to keep you from messing up."

Percy smirked. "If you do say so yourself, I suppose you have a plan, wise girl"

Wise girl?! My cheeks colored. Well, I did owe his one, for the whole 'seaweed brain' thing.

"Do you want my help or not?" I snapped.

Percy barley thought for a second. " A trio, That'll work."

And that was it. I had waited 4 years for a quest, and it had come. I never expected to be walking beside a son of Poseidon, but Percy was okay. He was the one that brought me the gift I waited for.


A few more 'moments' to go. I give credit to "gab4eva24" for reminding me about this one! So thanks!

Moment: Hyperventilation.

Time: AT half blood hill, as Grover, Percy and Annabeth are ready to start their quest.

We stood of half-blood hill, ready to leave, when we heard footsteps behind us. Luke came running up the hill, carrying some sort of shoes.

"Hey!" He panted. "Glad I caught you."

Luke had been running, his face looked a little pale. Had he come to see us off, maybe wish me luck for this quest? It was my first quest without Luke there for me. I didn't realize I was blushing, with all my thoughts.

"Just wanted to say good luck," Luke told Percy. Great, no Good luck for me. But I still let it slip. Luke continued. "And I thought… um, maybe you could use these."

Luke demonstrated the flying shoes. And I could tell that seaweed brain was extremely grateful. He blushed almost as much as me.

"Hey, man" Percy said. "Thanks. "

"Listen, Percy…" Luke started. I knew Luke well, and I caught the uneasiness in his voice. I was worried about him. "A lot of hope is riding on you. So just… kill some monsters for me, okay?"

There Luke was again, being the best person in the world… Luke really was amazing.

Percy and Luke shook hands, and he patted Grover's head between the horns. Then he turned towards me, and held out his arms.

"Come here" he smiled. And I stepped forward and hugged him. His body way cold, but I could feel how his arms were warm, and they held me tight. And I was probably holding my breath, trying not to do anything stupid.

After that, Luke smiled one last time, but it was a half hearted one. Like he had a lot of things on his mind.

I watched Luke walk down, towards the sword arena. When I felt Percy lean over next to me.

"You're hyperventilating." He smirked.

"Am not!" I snapped back.

But I hoped he didn't hear the edge to my voice, because I was a little off guard…

"You let him capture the flag instead of you, didn't you?"

What?! How the heck did Percy know me so well?! I recovered myself. I wasn't about to admit anything to no son of Poseidon.

"Oh….why do I want to go anywhere with you, Percy?" I huffed, and stomped down the hill next to Argus. And I found myself biting my lip, how did Percy figure me out, and was I really hyperventilating over Luke?

I shook my head. At the top of the hill, Chiron was handing Percy riptide. The sword he kept for years… so Percy was really the person Chiron was waiting for.

Percy joined me and Grover by Argus and we drove into the city.

"So far so good," Percy turned towards me. "Ten miles and not a single monster."

I was still a little agitated from half-blood hill. "Its bad luck to talk that way, seaweed brain." I snapped.

"Remind me again- why do you hate me so much?"

And those words actually shook me a little. I looked Percy over, he looked pretty normal, His dark hair brushed away, revealing green eyes. And I felt just a little bad, was I really being mean to him?

'I don't hate you." I told him.

"Could have fooled me."

I folded up my cap. "Look…. We're just not supposed to get along, okay? Our parents are rivals."

"Why?"

I rolled my eyes, and then presented Percy with a thousand reasons. "………My mom created the olive tree. The people saw that her gift was better, so they named the city after her." I finished.

"They must really like olives."

I sighed; it was useless to talk to him "Oh, forget it."

"Now, if she'd invented pizza- that I could understand."

"I said, forget it!" His head really was full of kelp…


Ha-ha, the bickering that we love. Anyway, this is going to be the last moment.

Moment: cooperate.

Time: LT page 202. Percy and Annabeth are talking, a few chapters after they start the quest.

I looked at the beautiful monuments and sighed. "I want to do that,"

"What?" Percy asked.

"Build something like that. You ever see the Parthenon, Percy?"

"Only in pictures."

"Someday, I'm going to see it in person. I'm going to build the greatest monument to the gods, ever. Something that'll last a thousand years. "

I went on daydreaming, till Percy's idiotic laugh broke my thoughts. "You? And architect?"

Anger and irritation flushed in through me. Why was I even bothering talking to him, but knowing me, I just had to snap back.

"Yes, an architect. Athena expects her children to create things, not just tear them down, like a certain god of earthquakes I could mention."

Percy's eyes slowly watched the brown water of the Mississippi river below us, and he slowly swallowed, trying to keep perfectly still, as if thinking hard about what I meant. And I immediately regretted saying that.

"Sorry," I told him. "That was mean."

"Can't we just try to work together a little?" He pleaded. "I mean didn't Athena and Poseidon ever cooperate?"

I had to think about that… "I guess… the chariot," I said cautiously. "My mother invented it, but Poseidon created horses out of the crest of waves. So they had to work together to made it complete."

"Then we can cooperate too. Right?" There was a faint, new glow in the corner of his green eyes, reflecting just a little bit of the color jade in them. Like he was asking hopefully.

I past a few miles. And I was thinking. Percy was okay, maybe his head was full of kelp and he was unpredictable. And he was pretty strong and useful when he wanted to be. Was there point to us fighting?

"I suppose," I said at last.


Okay finished!(About 2,000 words)

After all these moments is the thrill ride of love. And then the time ,in the back of the zoo truck when Annabeth declares their friendship. These moments were a little shaky on Annabeth's thoughts, but like I said, the main point of this chapter, was just to remember these small percabeth moments. I promise the next chapters will have a lot more percabeth, and a better Annabeth POV.

Hope you liked remembering these moments!

The next chapter will be 'Annabeth's good bye as Percy fights Ares.' And this next chapter will really reflect a lot of their friendship/relationship, so stay tuned for it!

You're reviews depend on my update, so please review!
