This is the third day that I awoke to the smile of my seaweed brain. My seaweed brain. That sounded nice. It sounded right. I liked it. I also liked using Percy's chest as my pillow. My legs were intertwined in his. His arm was wrapped around me and held me close to him. I could smell the ocean on him. I guess that's normal. I scooted my head closer in to his neck.

"You up, wise girl?' Percy whispered in my ear as his lips gently touched my head.

I moaned and lightly nodded my head in answer. I didn't want to get up. I wanted to stay in the position. My hand fisted itself on Percy's chest.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"What time is it?" I mumbled into his chest.

"It's ten. You slept in more than normal. Congratulations!" Percy mocked me.

"Shut up, seaweed brain. I can sleep in if I want."

"Why did you want to today?"

I looked up at him, "I liked lying in bed with you. It's nice."

He kissed my forehead, "I like laying with you, too."

"Correction, it's lying, not laying."

"And that's the wise girl that I know and love." I saw him smile.

A smile creped on my lips, "I love you, too."

It felt good saying it. I love you. Just three simple words, but they have so much behind them. They mean so much. I loved saying I love you.

"Shouldn't your parents be worried? I mean, you're sleeping in. It's so weird."

I closed my eyes and scooted my head into the crook of his neck, "I don't care. I like lying here. Don't leave."

"I won't. Are you sure they won't be worried, though?"

I punched him, "Way to ruin the moment."

"Hey, I was just wondering."

I pecked his cheek, "You're right. We should get downstairs."

He grabbed me before I could get up, "I never said that!"

We leaned in and we started to make out. He rolled me over so that he was on top. My fingers entangled themselves in his hair.

After a while- I don't even know how long it was- Bobby and Matthew barged in. They hopped on top of us. Percy would have fallen on me, but he stuck out his arms and straitened his back into a plank position. His Achilles heel curse made him way stronger. The boys just fell on either sides of us.

"What do you two want?" I growled. My eyes never left Percy's.

"Mom wanted to know if you were alive. I guess that's a yes." Bobby replied as they got off my bed and kneeled on the floor.

"Did you have to jump on us?" Percy asked as he slumped to my side.

"What fun is just walking in?" Matthew asked.

"You missed breakfast," Bobby informed us.

"I'm guessing there's no blue pancakes." Percy sighed.

"Why would pancakes be blue?" Bobby asked, "Seriously, Annabeth, your boyfriend is weird."

I laughed, "It's a joke. We can find some blue food coloring, Percy."

"Nah, it's fine. I can survive a weekend without any blue food or drink. I mean, I live without blue drinks and most food at home. It won't be too bad." Percy moaned.

"Food isn't blue, though!" Matthew complained.

I muttered under my breath, "Oh, here we go again."

"You really think that food can't be blue? Really? Well, let me tell you something, Matthew, food can be any color it wants to be. It can be blue if we make it blue. Have you ever thought of that? Huh? Did you? I don't think you did. All you need is a little food dye and you've got yourself some blue food." Percy shouted.

"Percy, calm down. He didn't know," I tried.

"I want some blue food!" Bobby shouted as he ran out the room.

"Matthew, why don't you go follow Bobby. Prove to him that there is no such thing as blue food." I advised.

Matthew did as I said, shockingly.

"They don't know, Percy. We'll prove them wrong. We can make breakfast tomorrow. Heck, all our food today will be blue." I told him as I snuggled up to him again. We were sitting up, now, my legs across his lap.

"Oh, Annabeth, sorry to interrupt." My dad said as he strolled in. He didn't seem very sorry, though.

"It's okay, Dad. What's up?" I asked.

"We're gonna be leaving soon. We won't be back until late tonight, maybe even early tomorrow. I trust you to take care of Bobby and Matthew." He demanded.

"I already told you that we will," I sighed.

"No funny business. I don't want you two doing anything here that you wouldn't do in front of Chiron! Understand?"

Percy answered for us, "Yes, sir."

My dad left and we broke out laughing. He didn't hear us, though. I was glad. My dad would get pissed if he knew that we were laughing at him. After laughing for what seemed like hours, Percy went to take a shower. I got changed into shorts and one of Percy's t-shirts. When he came into the room, fully dressed, he looked mad.

"Why are you wearing my shirt?" He shouted.

"I-I thought it would b-be nice. I'll t-take it off," I stammered. I had never seen Percy this angry at me. Sure, he had been like this in front of Drew and Clarisse, but never me.

His face turned into a smirk, "I was just kidding. You look hot in my shirt. I would never yell at you for that."

I slapped his arm, "You terrified me! I thought you were going to beat me or something! Don't do that to me!"

He grabbed me by the waist, "I thought it was pretty funny. How're you gonna punish me this time?"

"No kisses," I told him and slipped out of his grasp.

He chased me down to the kitchen, just as my dad and Helen were saying goodbye. We told them bye, then went to eat. It was close to noon, so we just made sandwiches. Mine was way better than Percy's. He just had a simple pb&j. I had more like a sub. It was really good. Percy had blueberry jelly, which was blue. Take that Matthew!

After eating, we watched a movie. Percy leaned against the armrest and I sat on his lap, wrapped in his strong arms. I almost drifted off to sleep. Key word here is almost. That's when Bobby and Matthew stormed in the room. Without saying a word, they grabbed Percy by both arms and dragged him off towards their room. I couldn't stop laughing. Percy looked terrified. He mouthed the word Help. I didn't, and went back to laughing.

I continued watching the movie. It wasn't really good. I don't even remember what it was about. I mean, that's how bad it was. Percy didn't come back to me. I was worried what they were doing to him. He had survived Kronos, so it couldn't be that bad. I decided to go looking for him. I wanted back my seaweed brain.

I found them. They were all sprawled out on my floor. All of them were reading a book. That's so unlike all of them, especially Percy. That's when I noticed that they weren't books. They were diaries. My diaries, to be more specific.

"What are you doing?" I yelled at them. Anger was boiling up to my cheeks.

"Hey, Annabeth, how's it goin?" Percy asked like nothing was wrong. Obviously, he saw the look in my eyes.

"Why are you reading my diaries?" I asked. I swear my face was as hot as fire from anger.

"You see, Percy was wondering about them, and-" Bobby started.

"Oh, so you're just going to blame this all on me?" Percy asked in surprise.

"Why are you reading my diaries?" I asked for the second time in a minute.

Percy stood up, "They offered them to me, and being the teenage boy that I am, I just had to read them. This isn't helping my case any, is it?"

I only shook my head, I was so angry. My fists were clenched by my sides. Then I realized that I wasn't as angry as I was embarrassed. Percy was reading about my most intimate thoughts. I grabbed the diary from his hands and realized that this was the one that I wrote in when I realized I was in love with him. It was from a year ago. The same diary that had the Mt. Saint Helens kiss in it.

I blushed, "Bobby, Matthew, get out!"

"You're in for it!" Bobby muttered to Percy as they ran out. I shut the door behind them.

"Please, just don't hit my Achilles heel." He pleaded as he scrunched his eyes shut..

"Percy, why'd you read it?" I asked. There wasn't anger in my voice. Instead, there was confusion.

This shocked him. He peaked one eye open, before opening up the second. He sighed, "I wanted to know more about you. Sometimes you're so secretive. I just wanted to know more about you. When Matthew told me that most of it was written in Greek, I knew there was something interesting about that diary. Bobby said that that was the first one that mentioned you being in love with me. I was curious."

"I'm sorry for yelling. I just don't want them knowing about certain stuff. That's why I wrote in Greek. They don't know it. I never thought that you would actually read it."

"I'm sorry. I was just curious. It was interesting, though."

I laughed as I hugged him, "What was your favorite part? I know you couldn't have gotten very far."

"I liked that part at the beginning when you said Dear Diary, I love him. I love Percy Jackson. I love my seaweed brain. My seaweed brain. That was my favorite part. And it was written in Greek. I could actually read it!"

"That's my favorite part, too. Please, just don't do it again."

"I won't. Now, do you wanna get revenge on them?"

"Let's do it!"

I couldn't say my plan was one that the Stolls would bow down to, but it was pretty good, if I do say so myself. Percy helped me plan a little (barely any). He was the one that would do most of it. I pretty much just had to scream and chase them. That's exactly what I did. I chased them right into a trap. Once they ran into the kitchen, being stupid and not splitting up, a wave of tap water sprang down on them. Of course, nothing but them got wet. I had to thank Percy for that.

"Percy!" They both yelled.

We both laughed at them.

"Can you dry us off like you did to Annabeth yesterday?" Bobby pleaded.

"Nope, you'll have to dry yourselves off. I only do that to my girlfriend, and it's only on special occasions." Percy answered.

"Like when she tackles you?" Matthew asked.

I laughed, "Yes, that's right. I tackle him quite often, too."

"But, we're practically brothers. Come on, can you please do it?" Bobby pleaded, again.

"Brothers?" Percy asked. I was just as confused as he was.

"Yeah, I mean, you and Annabeth are always together. She's always talking about you. And she dreams about you. She talks in her sleep," Bobby whispered the last part.

I heard it, though, "I do not! You just read my diaries!"

"Actually, baby, you do talk in your sleep. I mean, just a little bit." Percy muttered.

"Since when do you call me baby? Plus, you drool and talk!" I asked. I wasn't mad, just curious.

"I don't know. I thought it'd be a good nickname for you. You know, since I love you and all." Percy replied as he blushed cherry red.

"Well, I love you, too. Just don't expect me to give you any new nicknames like that anytime soon, though." I added.

"Bleck! Teenagers are so emotional!" Matthew complained.

"I know, right? What's up with them?" Bobby asked our brother.

"Trust me, I was just like you when I was your age. Just wait until you fall in love. It changes you…a lot. Trust me!" Percy told them, but he was looking more at me.

I laughed, "You were like them for years, seaweed brain!"

Percy blushed, but just shrugged it off.

"You two aren't really taking care of us!" Bobby groaned.

"Oh, yeah? What do you want us to do?" I asked.

"Please, dry us off! I really like this shirt and wanna keep wearing it!" Matthew answered.

I looked into Percy's eyes and he understood. "Run?" I murmured.

"Run," He nodded in agreement.

Together, we sprinted off towards my room. We were way faster than either of them. I guess camp came in handy. Percy locked the door once we got in my room. I plopped down on the bed. Percy lifted me up, gently, and laid my limp body on his lap. I snuggled up next to him, my head found his strong neck. I slowly started to kiss it while my brothers banged on the door.

Percy laughed.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I moved away from his neck to look into his beautiful sea green eyes.

"Nothing, you just found the spot where I'm ticklish." He replied.

I laid my head on his chest, "Good. I'll keep that in mind for next time."

"Next time?"

"Yeah, I mean, we are gonna make out again."

"I seem to think that I was punished today. Aren't you not supposed to kiss me?"

"Well, I'm not supposed to kiss your lips. I'm pretty sure that your neck isn't your lips. And when you make it up to me, we'll make out some more."

"How should I make it up to you?"

"You can start by taking care of the demons. I want some time to read."

"What if I don't want to?"

"No kisses for you. Plus, I seem to think that you came here to practice being a brother."

Percy groaned and fell back onto the bed, "Really? I have to take care of those things?"

I kissed his hand, "Yep, or you don't get any kisses tonight. I know how much you miss them." I sighed seductively.

Percy leaped up and ran out the room, "Hey, demons, are you ready to get dried off?"

I laughed as I pulled out my diary. I decided to write in it. I mean, Percy would let them bother me. Right?

~O~

"Percy, I'm sorry, but we don't have any blue dye," I sighed as I began to make the pasta.

"What? How do you guys not have blue food dye?" Percy asked in disbelief as he glanced over at the food dye bucket in my hands.

"I mean, if you really want it-"

"Wait!" Percy realized my trick, "You do have it. You're hiding it!"

I tucked the food dye in my back pocket, "I have no idea what you're talking about!"

"C'mon. Hand it over, wise girl," Percy held out his hand.

"Percy, are you crazy? I just told you that we're out of it!"

"And I don't believe you. Besides, I can tell when you're lying to me. You get this look in your eyes. It's just like the one that you have right now."

I knew that I couldn't keep anything from him. He wasn't going to get the food dye from me that easily. No, he was going to have to fight for it. This was his second punishment. I was hoping that he would somehow find a way to make up for the first one. I really wanted to kiss him, again. Every time he would try to make it up to me, Bobby or Matthew would interrupt us. I was really getting tired of them. I desperately wanted Percy to get a sister, almost as badly as I wanted to kiss him.

"You don't believe your girlfriend?" I asked in fake shock. "This relationship must not be very good."

Apparently, my acting's very good. Percy believed every word, "That's not what I meant! I just meant that I saw it when you put it in you-"

I cut him off by planting my lips on his. It caught Percy by surprise at first, but he soon joined my lips. Our lips moved in perfect unison. I never wanted it to end. That's when I remembered that we weren't supposed to kiss. How could I forget that? I had just been thinking about it.

Percy pulled away, "I thought that you weren't supposed to kiss me. Wasn't that part of my punishment?"

"Yeah, but I got tired of it. I missed your lips on mine." And with that, we started to make-out again. This time, it was filled with passion.

"Percy! Stop kissing my sister!" Matthew commanded.

"I love you," I mumbled against Percy's lips.

Instead of breaking the kiss, Percy moved his soft lips down to my neck. He muttered "I love you, too," as he moved to my ear. I tilted my head back so that he could get a better angle. Percy lifted me onto the counter and continued to kiss my neck. I was loving it!

"Ew! Stop that!" Bobby called out.

"Why don't you two go wash your hands?" I could barely ask without a moan escaping from my lips.

The boys obeyed. I knew it was because they didn't want to watch us make-out. I was okay with that. It's not like I wanted them to watch us. They wash their hands really fast, just to let you know. They ran back in no time. Both of them were very hungry.

"Percy! I wanna eat! I don't wanna watch you kiss my sister!" Bobby complained.

I didn't let Percy leave my grasp, "The food's over there. Go and eat in the living room, if you want to. I don't care."

Bobby and Matthew hurriedly got their food and left us alone. I was glad. Now, it was just me and my seaweed brain. The boys wouldn't interrupt us.

"You know, we could just take this to your room," Percy suggested as he broke from our kiss.

"And what fun would that be?" I asked.

He leaned in to kiss me, but ended up lifting me up in his arm. Before I knew what was happening, he carried me off to my room. I wanted to hit him and go back, but I just kissed his neck instead. That made him move faster. I didn't really mind. He set me down on the bed and hovered over me. I switched us around and straddled his waist. We continued to make-out.

"Shouldn't we close the door?" I asked.

"Leave it. They won't bother us," Percy whispered into my ear.

He couldn't have spoken too soon. Right then, those little demons sauntered in and hopped on top of me.

"Annie! We want desert!" Matthew whined.

"Then go get some," I growled.

Bobby added, "But there isn't any. Can we have some blue food?"

Percy laughed, "Sorry, kids, but we used the last of the dye on dinner. You'll just have to have regular food."

"We don't have any!" Matthew repeated what Bobby had just said.

"What do you want me to do about it?" I asked more harshly than I intended.

Percy pulled me onto his lap. I rested my head back as his hands snaked their way across my hips.

"Can you go get us some? Ice-cream sounds really good right about now!" Bobby suggested.

"I bet it does," I muttered.

"How about," Percy interrupted, "you go put on some shoes."

"Why?" Bobby asked.

"Are we going somewhere?" Matthew shouted as he jumped up and down.

I turned to face Percy, "Yeah, are we going somewhere?" I swear, I sounded like a little kid.

He lightly kissed my nose, "Why indeed we are. Now, Bobby, Matthew, go get some shoes on. I'll time you!" Both of the boys sprinted out of the room as Percy started to count, slowly. He inched his way to my lips with each number. By five, his lips crashed into mine. We were kissing when the boys raced back in.

"How long was that?" Bobby asked, panting.

"Ugh, twenty seconds, I think?" Percy stuttered.

"Hey, you two aren't ready!" Matthew complained.

I glanced at their shoes as I stood up, "Neither are you. Your shoes are on the wrong feet."

They ran out, embarrassed. Percy and I put on some sneakers and found the boys eager to leave. Percy grabbed his wallet, before we headed out the door. Percy rested his arm around my shoulders. I laid my hand on his chest and the other on his lower back. We walked like that to an ice-cream store around the corner.

Percy bought the boys some blue ice-cream. It was cotton candy, I think. Meanwhile, we shared a regular ice-cream sundae. I stole the cherry from him before he even saw it. He chased me for a minute, but decided to get back to the ice-cream. It really was good. Apparently, the place was brand new. It had only opened up a month before we got there. A lot of people were there, so it seemed like a pretty popular place.

"Percy, can you beat up Annabeth?" Bobby asked as we walked back home.

I was in the same position with Percy as we were when we walked there. The question took me by surprise, but Percy just laughed.

"Well, I definitely have an advantage over her, but she has one over me, too. Why would I ever beat her up, though?"

"I mean, isn't it part of your training?" Matthew added.

I swear, these twins can read minds.

I couldn't even expect what was going to happen next. I mean, two days without an attack? That's a little strange, but the war did just end. I didn't expect any monsters to attack us.
