Let's just say that Annabeth's family lives in New York in this story. You'll see why in the next chapter. Oh yeah, and if you're reading my story "Never the Same," I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but I have writer's block and would appreciate some ideas! Thank you! :)

Annabeth's POV

"Hey, Ms. Ja- Mom," I said as I opened the passenger door of Percy's mom's car. I threw my, or Percy's I should say, suitcase in the backseat and smiled as I sat down next to Ms. Jackson. She looked at me strangely.

"Hey, Percy, how was camp?"

"Fine," I answered as she started driving.

"Fine?" she turned to me with a surprised expression on his face, then turned back to watching the road. "What happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"Percy, every time you say things are 'fine,' something is always wrong."

"Nothing is wrong." Except for the fact that I'm in Percy's body, I wanted to add.

"Okay, now I really know something's up. Every time I start criticizing you, you always criticize me about reading parenting magazines. You know you can tell me if something's bothering you."

"Mom," gods, it felt weird calling her that. "Everything's fine."

"Alright," we were silent until we made it back to the apartment. I started unpacking "my" stuff when Ms. Jackson called me into the kitchen.

"Yes, ma'am?" I said as I walked into the kitchen. She gave me a strange look. Oh, great. Percy didn't ever say ma'am, did he? I tried to continue the conversation before she figured it out. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing," she shook her head. "Anyway, I made you some lunch." She smiled and handed me a plate with a blue grilled cheese sandwich.

"Um, Mom?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"This sandwich is... blue."

"Yeah, what's your point?"

"It's blue!"

"So is all the rest of the food I make you! You love it when I do that." I slapped myself in the face. Dang it, Annabeth! How could you forget that blue food is normal for Percy?

"Are you alright, Percy?"

"Yeah, perfectly fine. I think I just need to get some rest. It's been a long weekend."

"Okay, then. Remember: you can always tell me what's going on!" She shouted as I walked to Percy's room.

"Nothing is going on!"

"Okay, fine, be stubborn then, but I'm your mother. Sooner or later, I'll figure out what's bothering you even if I have to find out myself."


Percy's POV

"How was camp?" Dr. Chase asked when I got in the passenger seat next to him.

"Good," I said. If you consider somehow being in Annabeth's body good.

"That's good. Well, I was going to take you out for some father daughter bonding time."

"Okay," Oh, great! Now I'm going to have to "bond" with Annabeth's dad. I'm probably going to end up having to watch some emotional movie about puppies and kittens, or worse. A romance.

"So, where would you like to go?" He asked.

"Video game store would be nice." He turned to me with a shocked look on his face, causing him to swerve the car and get a honk from the car behind us.

"You want to go to the video game store?" Oh gods! Percy! Are you trying to make him figure out what's going on? Annabeth wouldn't want to go to a video game store! Hmm... Where would a girl want to go?

"Um, no, I said the...uh...hair salon."

"What?" No! What are you thinking? Annabeth wouldn't want to go there!

"Dad, I'm kind of tired. Can we just go home?" Yes! Now you're thinking!

"Okay, that's fine. We can do this some other time. Besides, I think you need some time to get ready for tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yeah, you have school tomorrow. Remember?" I felt my eyes widen. I had forgotten all about school! Great. Well, at least Annabeth and I went to the same school, so we could keep each other on track. I really hope this wears off soon.


Thanks for reading! Review! Please and thank you! :D
