Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians

It was August 18, Percy's birthday and their 2 years anniversary. Percy woke up early (well that was the first), he has a smile on his face, thinking that today is a very special day. He got out of bed, washed up, put on his camp shirt and walk out to his cabin. It was still early so there are still no campers at this hour. He headed to the woods and he found Grover there.

"Good Morning Grover!" he said. "Oh hey man! Happy Birthday!" he hugged him. "So are you excited?" he asked. "I guess and a little bit nervous I might add up."Percy said. "Nah, it is going to be great, so don't you worry, ok?" Grover said. Percy smiled and they headed to the beach.

While they are walking, "I can't believe you are awake at this early." Grover teased. "Ha ha very funny!" he replied. "You know how important this is to me, so waking this early is one of my sacrifices." He chuckled. Grover just smiled to himself. He knows how much Percy love Annabeth. And he knows that he would do anything just for her.

When they have reached the beach they talked all the details on what to prepare and how it is going to happen. Thalia and Nico couldn't join them, knowing those two, you can't get them up this early, unless it is a matter of life and death. When they are done talking they hear the conch horn signaling that it is time for breakfast.

They made their way to the dining area. When they've arrived, the campers greeted him. He thanked them for remembering his birthday. He then scanned the area looking for Annabeth, but he can't find her. He decided to go to the Athena table. "Hey guys, where's Annabeth?" He asked. "She and Malcolm didn't come home last night. I think they'll arrive this morning though." One of her siblings said. "Oh Ok, thank you." He said and went to his table where Grover is sitting. They were eating when someone smack his head. When he turned around to see who did that, he saw Thalia and Nico grinning like idiots. "Happy Birthday Seaweed Brain!" Thalia greeted and hugged her. "Is that really necessary? " he asked talking about her smacking him in the head. She just shrugged and smiled. It was Nico's turn to greet him, "Happy Birthday Cuz!" and they fist pump. Thalia's rolled her eyes. "So I heard you are planning for a surprise for Annabeth." Nico asked. "And I heard you needed our help." Thalia added. "Yes I am, and yes if you are willing to." Percy replied. "Ofcourse!" they both answered. Percy smiled to his supportive cousins. "I guess you two should probably eat and will talk about it later after breakfast." He suggested. "Yup definitely!because I am hugry."Nico said. "Alright then we'll talk later."Percy said. And with that the two made their way to their own table. After breakfast they meet and talked on what they are going to do.

It was almost lunch time and Percy is nervous because he still hasn't seen Annabeth on camp. The four of them is at the couple's favorite spot near the beach where they will celebrate their anniversary. "Relax man, she will be here."It was Nico. "Wise Girl should be here in any minute. You know she doesn't want to be late in anything."Thalia said. "Why don't you sit back and relax ok. Is everything ready? " She asked. "Yup" Percy replied. "Where's your present?" Grover asked. "Right here in my pocket." He replied.

"You stay here and we are heading to the pavilion because it is almost lunch time. We will see you in a bit. " Thalia said. "Don't worry man if we see Annabeth we will make sure she hasn't forget your date." Grover teased. Percy pouted. The three of team laughed at Percy's antic. "Pull yourself together, she will be here in any minute and be sure you are ready and don't mess things up." It was Thalia. "Yeah yeah whatever! Fine just leave now," He playfully answered. The three walked away headed to the pavilion.

Percy's POV

Five minutes before 12 and no sight of Annabeth. I am starting to get nervous my ADHD is acting up. I began to think bad things. What if she is in danger? Knowing her she would not be late especially with this occasion, unless something came up. I stand up and started to pace back and forth. Maybe she was just caught up with something and she'll explain later. I tried to reassure myself. I sit down again trying to clear my mind. I take a look one more time for my surprise and open the box and put it in my pocket again and take a deep sigh trying to calm myself.

It was already 12:30 and no sign of her. I heard a noise and snap my head to the sound and I saw Grover. "She's not here?" he asked. I nodded. "Have you seen her?" I asked. "No, we thought she is here already here, I saw Malcolm at the pavilion so we thought Annabeth is here with you now." He said. I shook my head. I feel sad now. Where is she? Did she forget? Questions are starting to swim in my head and I am getting a headache. Grover noticed it. "Hey don't over think Perce. I am sure there is an explanation." He patted my back. "Stay here and I'll find her." I didn't bother to reply.

Thirty minutes later, and I am still alone. Grover hasn't come back yet and no sign of Annabeth either. I am starting to feel angry now, how can she forget? She promised that she will be here. I stand up and decided to look for her. I was on my way and I bump it to Thalia. "So how was it?" she asked. "She's not here." I quickly replied. Thalia scrunched her eyebrows. "What do you mean she's not here?"she asked. "I don't know that is why I am going to find out. I have been waiting here for an hour or so and there is no sign of her." I replied. "Will you stay here until I come back?" I asked her. "Sure, just don't take too long. Your food is not warm anymore. "She said. I nodded. "Go find her." She added.

I headed towards the pavilion but to my dismay lunch is already finished and no sight of any campers there. So I went around trying to find her. I feel anxious now. Why can't I find her? It was already 2 o'clock. I am sweaty and hungry. I closed my fist trying to calm myself. Where is she?

I was still looking for her when I saw Malcolm. "Malcolm!" I called. He looked at me and I walk to where he is standing. "Yes?" he asked. "Where's Annabeth?" I asked. I don't know. I haven't seen her since we came back this morning. "He replied. "What time have you arrived?"I asked him. "About 10:30 this morning. "He replied while looking at the blueprints. I stayed quiet thinking she's here since this morning and she didn't even bother to look for me. Malcolm noticed me. "Is everything alright?" He asked. I didn't reply. "Try looking for her in the Big House, maybe she's in there." He suggested. I nodded and turn towards the Big House.

I was near the Big House when I heard voices. I looked and saw two people on the balcony.

Cliffhanger….. =)
