RICK RIORDAN OWNS PJATO, *sigh*
So I start school tommorow, which means the updating won't be as frequent, because i'll be way busy with school work.
Please reviewww! :)
Annabeth POV:
"Annabeth, you have to go back to your cabin and sleep." Thalia warned me. "You're no good if you can't function properly."
"You can come back in the morning and then keep working." Jason suggested
I scowled them. "I'm not leaving until I'm finished with this boat." I said, glaring at a wire that didn't want to attach.
"You brought this upon yourself." Thalia said. All of the sudden, a strong gust of wind, picked me up, and I was basically dragged from the boat.
The 'wind' dropped me on the ground. "What was that for?" I asked, getting up.
"Jason can control the air." Thalia smiled. "Now keep walking towards your cabin or else I'm going to shock you into it!" She said, starting to laugh with her terrible pun.
"Ha-ha, very funny." I said sarcastically, as I walked towards my cabin.
I walked to my cabin, and I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. My dreams had been pretty vague since Percy had left, but tonight, I had a more vivid one than usual.
(dream flash baaack)
I walked down to the beach, and found Percy sitting there.
"Hey, Percy." I said, sitting down next to him.
He looked at me, taken aback. "You called me Percy." He smiled. "You usually just call me seaweed brain."
"Is that okay?" I asked. "Seaweed brain?" I said, fluttering my eyes to make it seem even more ridiculous.
He smiled at me. "There she is." He smiled. "My wise girl."
"So why did you want me to meet you out here?" I asked him.
"Well, with the whole underwater-thing yesterday… I just wanted to know if…y'know…" He mumbled.
"If I'd be your girlfriend?" I asked, smiling at him.
"Yes." He smiled, taking my hand.
I leaned over and kissed him. "Yes, seaweed brain. I thought that yesterday kind of cleared that up already."
Percy had a cute dazed look on his face. "I just wanted to make sure." He said, pressing his lips to mine again.
The conch horn sounded curfew. Percy stood up, and held out his hand and help me up.
"I'll walk you to your cabin." He smiled, taking my hand.
(another flash back)
"Percy!" I giggled, as he picked me up and ran. "Put me down!"
"Nope!" He said, a smug grin on his face.
"Seaweed brain! I was about to take your flag, and have my team win again!" I protested.
"Not on my watch!" He laughed.
He kept running into the forest, until he tripped over some tree roots and fell.
Since Percy had been carrying me, he fell straight on top of me.
"Oh my gods!" I yelped. "You weight a ton!"
"Sorry!" Percy laughed, now hovering above me instead of laying. "It's all muscles."
I raised an eye brow at him. "Sure it is." I said, trying to flip us over so I would be on top of him, but Percy had be pinned.
"What?" I said. "When'd you get so strong?" I asked, struggling to get out from under him.
"Annabeth, you're 5'5 and you weigh 90 pounds. You're not that hard to pin down." He chuckled. "My camp duffel bag weighs more than you do."
I kept trying to free myself to no prevail. "Whatever, seaweed brain. If you didn't have me pinned down, I would so be able to kick your butt." I told him.
"That's true." He said.
"So are you going to let me go now?" I asked him.
"Nope." He said, making a popping sound when he said the 'p'.
I sighed. "Can you at least get off me."
"Sorry, I can't." He smiled. "You might run away. Plus you're cute when you're frustrated." He smiled.
I saw someone dart by carrying a red flag. "You just made me lose capture the flag!" I argued with Percy, who was now helping me up.
"Sure did." He smiled cockily.
"Ugh!" I protested. "I hate when you-" I was saying until Percy lifted me up and kissed me.
Percy set me down and looked. "I love you." He whispered in my ear.
I looked at him, and couldn't stop smiling. "I love you too."
(end dream flashbaaaack)
I woke up to my sister Avery shaking me.
"Annabeth, what's wrong?" She kept asking me.
I sat up, and felt hot wet tears on my face. I tried to talk, but I couldn't help but bawl. Avery hugged me, and let me cry on her shoulder.
"Did you dream about Percy?" She asked me.
I nodded my head, unable to say anything. Malcolm walked into the room.
"Is she okay?" He asked Avery softly.
"No." Avery whispered to him.
Malcolm came and sat on my bed with Avery and I and hugged me. "It's all going to be alright, Annabeth." He said.
-linebreakkkk-
It had been about a month and a half since everyone had started working on the Argo II, and it was almost finished. Leo and I had been working on it day and night, and we had been becoming pretty good friends, when he wasn't being annoying.
"Okay, so all we need to do is attach Festus's head, and then we're ready to go!" Leo said.
"That's correct." I said. "We could being flying tomorrow morning, after the test flight." I smiled, excited to know that I'd be seeing Percy again soon.
"All right!" Leo called out. "Who wants to attach a dragon head?" He yelled to everyone.
Everyone screamed things along the lines of 'yeah!' and 'me first!'. And then, within two hours, the Argo II was complete.
Chiron trotted up when he saw that the boat was complete. "Are you two going to do a test drive?" He asked us.
"Of course, pony boy!" Leo said.
Chiron narrowed his eyes. "What did I say about calling me pony boy?" He asked Leo.
Leo suddenly was fascinated with his sneakers. "To not to." He muttered.
I couldn't help but laugh. "Hey Chiron, can we do the test drive now?" I asked him.
"Of course, my child. You and Leo go ahead, and we will all be watching.
Leo and I started to move the sails, and soon enough we were in the air, flying across camp. We did a semi circle around the entire camp, and then we landed where we had started.
"Seems to me that this vessel is ready!" Chiron said. "Everyone on this quest will be departing at 9:00 am tomorrow morning." He said.
Please review! :)
