Wow—eight chapters in one day! I know the title really has nothing to do with the story itself, but this chapter will include the prophecy (so I won't have to rewrite the summary and title)…and Belle and Daisy will return, evil as ever!

CHAPTER VII: WE'RE TV STARS AND WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IT

The next few days passed as normal, with archery practice, fighting, Capture the Flag, and, obviously, lots of kissing. But then one day I discovered Percy and I were being secretly filmed.

So I was taking a walk with Seaweed Brain on the beach one day, holding his hand and laying my head on his shoulder. I suddenly felt like someone was watching us. And believe me, I'm usually right.

"Percy?" I asked, and he looked at me. "Do you feel like…someone's staring at us?"

"Not really," he frowned, puzzled, and then we both heard movement in the bushes. We both spun around and the rustling stopped.

"Seaweed Brain…" I said, almost afraid, but he, bold as ever, stepped forward and jabbed Riptide at the bushes. There came squealing and yelping and two girls and a huge black movie camera appeared from out of it.

"Daisy? And Belle?" I said incredulously. I thought they were done with us.

"Annabeth Chase, bad fashion taste as usual," Belle spat, as she hurriedly hid the camera behind her back. "None of your business."

"Uh, I don't think you should say that to a guy holding a sword to your necks," Percy said pointedly.

Belle sighed impatiently and Daisy made a little noise of fear. "Okay, fine," Belle confessed. "My mother recently appointed me as the camera-woman for The Chronicles of Percabeth."

"For what?" I said, confused.

"You guys have your own TV show on Olympus," Daisy explained. "And we're supposed to video you guys having your own little Percabeth moments."

"Whoa, wait. What's Percabeth?" Percy asked, frustrated.

"Your names combined," Belle said matter-of-factly. "It all started when Aphrodite had a prophecy made about you guys, and she got so overwhelmed she decided to start a TV show about you two."

"Hold on!" I said. "We have a prophecy? About our relationship?"

"Uh, duh?" Daisy said as though we were very sloooow kindergarteners.

"Well then, can we hear it?" I asked with a note of impatience rising in my voice.

"Okay, okay, fine," Belle resignedly said as Percy dug his sword a little more into his chin. She pressed a few buttons on her video camera and suddenly an image was projected into space.

Rachel was sitting there, her green eyes glowing like she always did when she had a prophecy. Aphrodite was also there, listening intently.

"A pair that is a tight as glue,

Has a love that is pure and true.

But just as always no love is perfect,

There is always one or more defects.

One will go on a journey far,

To the land where there are no stars.

The other will languish in great sorrow,

Always waiting for tomorrow.

But through it all their love remains,

In the sunshine or in the rain.

Eventually they will return to each other,

Their love will resume for always and ever."

The image faded, and Belle and Daisy looked expectantly at Percy, who was staring, open-mouthed, at where the projection had been. "That's a long prophecy," I finally said, breaking the silence.

"Sounded kind of depressing, too," Percy added.

"Hello?" Belle and Daisy said together, evidently annoyed that they hadn't been released yet. "The last two lines: Eventually they will return to each other, their love will resume for always and ever?"

"Yeah, but One will go on a journey far, to the land where there are no stars, the other will languish in great sorrow, always waiting for tomorrow is saddening," I said, secretly wondering who would go on that journey.

"Okay, can we please go now?" Belle begged, and Percy reluctantly released them and they ran off.

"Don't be so unhappy," I finally said, stroking his cheek. "We're TV stars!"

"Oh, crap," Percy suddenly faced me, shock and realization in his green eyes. "What if they filmed the fact that I sleep with you almost every night? And what if Athena saw the show?!"

Uh oh.

Love it? Hate it? The rest of the story will be about the prophecy. =D R&R!
