(A/N)-Wow, I'm on the roll! Four chapters in two days. :P What now. This is just a small continuation of The Last Olympian.

Percy's POV

"Race you to the road?"

"You're so going to lose."

She took of down Half-Blood Hill and I sprinted after her.

For once, I didn't look back.

Annabeth was getting ahead, which wasn't a shock. Chiron had told her that she was just as fast as a child of Hermes, and then he told me that I was as slow as the dryads. And this is while they were in tree form.

She was about halfway down the hill while I was still at the top when my foot caught a root and I stumbled. Note to self: Do not savor the dirt, for the dirt is not tasty. I rolled all the way downhill and eventually caught up with Annabeth. I tripped her from behind by accident and we went rolling together, chugging grass down our throats one spin at a time.

"Sea-weed-Brain-What-did-you-just-do?" she said, bit by bit.

"I'd-tell-you-if-I-could," I replied in the same pattern.

We finally came to a halt at the road, me being on one side and her on the other. My elbow was touching the road and she was on the opposite side.

"I win."

"No way in Hades." She stood up and pushed me out of the way of the road. Then she went and stood on it. "Wrong! I win." She stuck her tongue out at me.

"Cheater."

"What? You're the cheater here! You're the one who pushed me down the hill, aren't you?"

I looked down but I wasn't really sad. That was fun. "Sorry, Annabeth."

"S'okay, Percy." She stared off into space for a minute before her eyes returned to me. "Are you ready the summer to end?"

I snorted. "What do you honestly think?"

"Well you're not doing anything about it!"

"Annabeth, I'm not Kronos. How in the world can I slow down-" then I understood what she was saying and my cheeks tinted pink. "Oh...uh, yeah. Um...before we go back to Manhattan, want to…catch a movie?"

I waited for her slow reaction. I swear she was just doing it to bug me.

"There you go! I'd be delighted to." She grinned and the sun seemed to get brighter.

I smiled, proud of my achievement. "King of Sparta? That looks good."

"Yeah, I guess. You think Tristan McLean shows off his chest too much?"

"Come on, It's Ancient Greece, and he's just in armor."

She looked at me as if I'd just gone a little weird. "M'kay, whatever."

I held out my hand and she laced her fingers through mine.

"I can't believe my dad is going to let me stay in New York."

I sighed, because she just reminded me that she couldn't go to my school. "Yeah, I know. It would've been even better if you could go to Goode with me, though."

She looked sad but stayed quiet. She was probably still thinking about Rachel's prophecy.

"You going to visit me on the weekends?" she asked.

I couldn't help smiling. In a falsetto mocking voice, I said, "Well somebody's got a big sense of her own importance."

She punched my shoulder.

"Well I can't stay away from you too long. And don't punch people. It's not nice, you see."

She punched me again. "You know you love it."

I looked down the Farm Road, trying not to feel bad. It wasn't the end. It was the beginning. I couldn't ask for a better one. Then I had a brilliant idea, and I felt so stupid that I hadn't thought of it before that I smacked my forehead.

Annabeth looked at me like I'd just burped rudely. "Smooth move, Percy," Annabeth said. "Real smooth."

"I'm sixteen!" I shouted delightfully.

"You figured that out all by yourself?"

"I can legally drive!"

"Well, duh! It wouldn't make a difference in your head whether it was legal or not. How did you think we would get to the movies, Seaweed Brain? Wait...You didn't really think-"

Again, I felt like Apollo's Sacred Cows-slow, dumb, and bright red.

"Hehe," I squeaked out. It wouldn't have been my first choice of words.

But she just laughed. It was good to hear. "Seaweed Brain, you're such an idiot."

"Well if you weren't around people would say that I was smart."

"You wish!"

"You make me look dumb."

"You are dumb!"

I smirked. "Thank you, Wise Girl, for brightening up my day."

"Oh, Anytime. Just keeping it real."

A Delphi Strawberries SUV rolled up in front of us. We surged forward and climbed in the back before anybody else could take a seat. We chatted on completely random topics all the way back into the city. And I have to admit, with my arms around her, it was the best ride back into the city of my life.

(A/N.2)- Hey guys. I'm sorry I would write more, but I've been writing this chapter in my free time for a week now and it's getting boring. Plus, the only things I know about Manhattan is from PJO, so good luck writing something accurate without Google maps. And also, my ADHD and the I'm a Banana song stuck in your head just don't mix. If I wrote anymore, it wouldn't be good, so I really hope you guys thought it to be enough.

Oh gods, I'm still humming that song. I'm a banana! I'm a banana! Banana power! Banana power! And PoseidonKidd, check your email.
