Thank you all for the review! They helped a ton! This is my first story so I was super anxious about how it would do. Sorry about the paragraphing in the first chapter too, I will try to go back and fix that, my computer has this weird glitch thing that keeps it from uploading the paragraphs? Hope the paragraph spacing works for this one. Enjoy!

Annabeth's POV

I woke up this morning and freaked out for a split second. not being able to figure out where I was. Then I remembered. I was in an apartment all by myself, paid for by my mother, in the middle of New York City.

I looked over at my alarm clock. 7:30. I climbed out of bed and grabbed a pair of jeans and a camp half-blood T-shirt out of my dresser. I already missed camp. I always did when I left. I was glad that I was going over to see Percy, he could always make me feel better. I thought about plans for Mount Olympus as I got ready. After my hair dried, which took forever, I battled it with a comb until my hair had no choice other than to succumb to being brushed.

I worked on unpacking some more after I had gotten ready. My apartment was nice and it had a great view of the city skyline. My mom had set everything up so I could stay near Mount Olympus. I was grateful but it still just felt so empty. I turned the TV on just to have some noise.

At eleven o'clock I left my new home and hailed a taxi to Percy's apartment. I left early to make room for New York traffic. And thankfully I did because even though Percy lives only 5 miles away, it was 11:28 when I finally got there. I road the elevator to the sixth floor and walked to apartment 6G. I knocked on the door. A second later, Sally opened it.

"Annabeth! It's so good to see you! Come on in!"

I stepped inside. "Good to see you too Mrs. Jackson." I loved Sally. She was like the mom I never had.

"I'm guessing your'e here for Percy." She said as she walked to the kitchen.

"Yup." I said as I sat down on one of the bar stools at the kitchen island, "We planned to meet up for lunch."

Sally smiled as she started to chop carrots. "Well my son may have forgotten to set an alarm to get ready for your date."

Figures.

"He's still upstairs sleeping. Do you want me to go up and wake him up?" Sally asked.

An idea came to me. "Actually, I'll go do it. Can I get a glass of cold water, please?"

Sally laughed, catching on to my idea. She opened a cupboard and reached for a cup. She filled it up with cold water and even threw some ice cubes in just because she's cool like that. "Here you go.", she said as she handed me the glass.

"Thank you." I said as I took the glass. I hopped off the bar stool and started up the stairs. I'd never seen an apartment with a second floor before but I guess you can find anything in New York.

I got to the top of the stairs, the ice cubes clinking around loudly. I walked slowly to Percy's bedroom door. I knew that most of the time Percy had to will himself to get wet but I didn't know if that applied when he was sleeping. It was worth a try.

I turned the door knob slowly and carefully opened Percy's door. I knew I was smiling like a maniac trying not to laugh but I didn't care. Percy wasn't even awake and he'd already managed to make me feel better.

I tiptoed over to his bed. He turned over and mumbled something unintelligible. There was drool on his chin. Seaweed brain, I thought to myself.

I slowly started to tip the glass over his head, savoring every moment of the evil genius. Water started to rain down on Percy's head.

"Gahh!" Percy yelled, bolting up, water still pouring down. His eyes were huge. He looked like he'd just been electrocuted. I started laughing.

Percy looked over at me and finally registered what was happening. I guess he does get wet when he is sleeping.

"Annabeth!" he exclaimed as I set the now empty glass on his side table. I was laughing my head off now.

Percy jumped out of bed, revealing that he was wearing a pair of sweats and no shirt. He was grinning now, even though he was soaking wet. He wrapped his arms around my waist, getting me wet as well.

"PERSEUS JACKSON!" I yelled as I flailed trying to get out from his grasp. We fell back onto his bed, Percy's arms still holding my waist. "COLD!" I exclaimed as the freezing cold water got me even wetter. It was Percy's turn to laugh.

I turned over to face Percy, since I still couldn't get up with his arms around me. Our faces were 5 inches apart and our bodies pressed against each other. I started to laugh along with Percy.

"Morning wise girl." Percy said as he kissed my nose.

"Try afternoon seaweed brain. You almost slept right through our date!" I pouted playfully.

"Sorry?" He said sheepishly. I laughed at him.

"It's fine." I said. How could I be mad? We were still pressed against each other. I felt Percy's grasp around my waist loosen and I jumped out of his bed, taking advantage of a moment of opportunity. It was nice being close to him, but there was the small problem of freezing cold water soaking through my shirt. Percy got up as well and I laughed at our state of absolute soaked-ness. We walked down the stairs, dripping.

Sally looked up from her cutting board and laughed. Percy and I were both grinning.

"Looks like you plan backfired a bit, Annabeth." She commented.

"Yup. Your son is exceptional at ruining plans, Mrs. Jackson." I teased.

"Hey!" Percy protested.

Sally chuckled. "I don't suppose you brought a change of clothes, Annabeth?"

"Nope. I hadn't exactly planned on this." I said

"You can borrow something of mine." Percy offered.

I glanced at our very different frames and wondered what on earth he had that would fit me. "Okay."

A few minutes later I walked out of the bathroom practically swimming in one of Percy's sweatshirts. Thankfully my jeans hadn't been hadn't been that wet so they were fine.

Ten minutes later we were out the door and navigating our way through the busy sidewalks of New York City, hand in hand.
