THis is pretty short compared to my others. Well, not the first one, but the others. Sorry. I hope you enjoy, though

The train ride to camp was pretty uneventful. I slept most of the time. Percy let me. He tried to sleep a little bit, but never really could.

When we got back to camp, everybody greeted us. It was a little strange. Why would they be this happy for our return? It didn't make any sense. My friends hugged me. Clarisse came over to us, laughing her butt off.

"What's going on, Jackson?" Clarisse asked.

"Clarisse, why are you laughing so hard?" I asked her.

She smiled, "I don't think it's my place to tell you. You need to ask Connor and Travis."

Percy got furious, "What did they do?"

"I can't tell you. Go and ask them if you want to know!" Clarisse commanded as she sauntered off, snickering.

Percy gripped my hand and dragged me off to his cabin. He let me keep my bags and stuff in his cabin. He was still pretty pissed at the Stolls. I kissed his cheek to try to calm him down. It didn't work at all. I laughed.

I dragged Percy out of his cabin and to find the Stolls. I knew exactly where they would be, but Percy didn't. Now did anybody else. Nobody paid as great of attention to the Stolls as I did. It's a long story, but I we were in a prank war, and I had to remember their schedule to get them. Of course, I won the war. Stupid ADHD! Anyways, back to finding the Stolls.

I found them (as I predicted) at the big house. I couldn't guess what they were doing exactly, but they were sitting on the stairs, snickering away.

"Stolls, what are you doing?" I asked them. Okay, I might have yelled it.

"Annabeth, we heard you two were back," Travis said.

"Why is everybody laughing at us? What did you two do?" Percy snarled.

"One question at a time, seaweed brain!" Connor commanded.

I got mad, "I am the only one that can call him seaweed brain! How many times do I have to tell people that?"

"Okay, I'm sorry." Connor muttered.

"Answer our questions!" I demanded.

"We can't explain it. You'll just have to wait and find out!" Travis informed us.

I grabbed Travis by the collar, "Don't you dare mess with me! Tell us what is going on? What do we have to do with it?"

"When did we ever say that you had anything to do with it?" Travis asked in response.

"We don't?" Percy asked.

"He never said that you didn't!" Connor added.

Percy grabbed his collar, "What is going on? What do I have to do with your little prank?"

I let go of Travis, "Tell us what is going on!"

"We can't!" Connor told him.

"We promised that we wouldn't!" Travis added.

"If you don't tell us, I swear that I will kill you!" Percy threatened.

Conner wasn't going to give in. Neither was Travis. Percy finally let go of Connor after punching his gut. I laughed and jumped on Percy's back. I gave the Stolls one of my famous death glares. They shrank back in fear. I laughed even harder. Percy smirked and took off to the arena. I rested my head on his shoulder, which wasn't comfy at all. He ran slower once I did that. I kissed the top of his head. He smiled as we reached the arena. Gently, he set me on the ground, landing on my feet.

We trained for a while. By a while, I mean until dinner. I beat him a few times when he fought with Riptide and my knife. He won most of the time, though. When we did archery, I was better than him. He really isn't good at archery. Hand to hand combat was interesting. Clarisse was watching our every move. We were pretending to be worse than we were. She tried to beat Percy, but he won easily. I laughed as she huffed in defeat.

At dinner, I would glance at Percy ever ten seconds. It caught the attention of my cabin.

"Didn't you get enough of him with your parents?" Malcom complained.

I shot him a glare, "No, we didn't."

"You guys were sleeping together. I mean, it's not a stretch that you-" Elena started.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, interrupting her.

"I mean, that you guys were sharing a bed the whole trip. It's all over camp. Everybody knows about it, even Chiron. Though, he wasn't too happy to hear about it," Elena explained further.

I blushed, "How does everyone know?"

"I don't know. I heard it from Leo. That kid cannot keep a secret to save his life. Well, okay, yeah, he can. The fire thing was expected. I wouldn't tell anybody if I were him, either." Malcom rambled.

"Do people think that we did stuff?" I muttered.

"Did you?" Malcom asked me.

"NO!" I shouted. Everybody turned to look at me, which made me blush really hard. Percy smirked. He could tell what we were talking about. I shook my head and gave him a very serious look. He turned around, snickering to himself. All of the campers turned their attention back to their food, which I was happy for.

"We didn't do anything, Malcom," I told him in a quieter voice.

"Some people do think that you guys did more than you did. I wouldn't worry about it. They're mostly the Aphrodite kids or campers that have nothing better to do than spread gossip." Elena reassured me.

"Yeah, like the Stolls," My half brother, David, mumbled. I realized that my whole table was listening intently to our conversation. I blushed, again.

"Is that why everyone is laughing at us and stuff?" I asked.

"No, that's something else entirely. I would tell you, but…" Malcom trailed off.

I grabbed his arm, hard, "Tell me what's going on! I need to know! As your cabin leader, I demand that you tell me."

Elena laughed, "First of all, as our cabin leader you can't command us to tell you anything."

"Secondly," Malcom added, removing my hand from his arm, "we're not allowed to tell you. Plus, who says that it's the Stolls?"

"Clarisse said that we'd have to ask the Stolls about it. I just assumed that they'd be behind it. Who else could be?" I muttered, embarrassed for not thinking of anyone else. "So, is it someone else?"

"Annabeth, we can't tell you!" Malcom repeated.

"Why not? As my older brother, you should tell me. I mean, you are the one taking the role of my older brother. They tell their little sisters things that could potentially hurt them or their loved ones." I tried to sound intelligent.

Everyone at my table laughed. I heard my sister, Roxanna, tell me, "No they don't. My brother was the one doing that stuff to me!"

"Well, I think Malcom should tell me, Roxanna!" I told her.

Malcom shook his head, "We all had to promise not to tell you two. If you really wanna know, go pick on someone weak."

"Yeah, like Travis," Elena laughed.

I grunted, "We already tried. He won't tell us! That's why I'm kindly asking you!"

"Annabeth, we won't tell you!" Malcom repeated.

I grunted, once more, before sauntering out of the mess hall. Quickly, I grabbed Percy's hand and began to drag him. He picked up a few more fries before being ditched. He was stuffing them in his mouth as I stomped to his cabin. I didn't even think twice as I pushed Percy in his own cabin. No one was in there, as usual.

He sat on the bed, calmly finishing his fries. I was pacing back and forth. Apparently, he had too much blue cherry Coke because he had to go pee in no time. When he came out, I was lying on his bed, my hands on my temples. I was thinking about what was going on. Why wouldn't anybody tell us? I mean, I knew Percy had something to do with it. Connor told us that. Why wasn't Percy freaking out about this? He was the one that it was about!

"Are you okay?" He asked as he sat next to me.

I sat up, "Why won't they tell us? We already know that it's about you somehow. Why can't we know? I wanna know!" I probably sounded like a five year old, but I didn't care. I hated not knowing things. I hated it!

"Annabeth, it's alright. I'm invincible, remember? It's not like they can do anything that bad to me, anyways. I'm way stronger and faster than all of them." He reassured me.

"I know that. I just hate not knowing things!"

He laughed, "Yeah, I found that out a while ago. Can we just not worry about it?"

"Why aren't you freaking out about this?"

"It can't be that bad, Annabeth. Really, what's the worst that they could do to me?"

"They could kill you, Percy!"

He laughed, again, "Do you really think that they'll kill the hero of Olympus? No, they won't. Besides, if anyone were to kill me, it'd be your mother. She hasn't done it, yet. Plus, I can only die if they hurt my Achilles Heel. They don't know where or who it is."

"They'll figure it out, especially the Athena kids. They'll get it first. I mean, if they don't, eventually they will hit it with their swords or whatever."

"Annabeth, they're not going to kill the hero of Olympus. I just saved all of their lives! They should be bowing down at my feet right now!"

I smiled, "Nobody here would do that. You know that, Percy."

"What are you scared of? Don't say me being killed because that won't happen. Didn't I already tell you that I won't leave you?"

"You did. I just don't wanna lose you. I finally got you. I don't want you to not be with me."

He laughed, "I won't leave you. I promise."

"Thank you. I think I can forget about it now."

"No, you can't. You won't forget about this. It'll keep on bugging you until you find out."

He really did know me. I pecked his lips and plopped down. He lied right next to me. I held onto his chest. His breathing lulled me to sleep.

~O~

I woke up groggily. My eyes slowly opened themselves up, without my command. I could faintly see the light coming in from the windows. Percy wrapped his arms around me securely. I buried my head in his neck. He moved me closer to him. Obviously, he was awake. I didn't want to disturb his happiness. Also, I wanted desperately to go back to sleep. I knew that wasn't going to happen. Hey, a girl can dream, can't they?

"Seaweed brain, where are we?" I asked. My eyes closed themselves.

"My cabin. Where else would we be?" He answered.

I sat up in shock, "What time is it?"

He glanced at the clock, "Eight. Can we lie back down?"

I noticed that he was sitting up, too. He was rubbing circles on my back. I wanted desperately to lay with him, but I couldn't. My cabin would already be up. Odds are, everyone would be about to eat. We slept through the breakfast call.

"Percy, I slept in your cabin last night without permission! Chiron's gonna kill me. I don't even want to think about what's going to happen when my siblings hear about this. What-"

Percy cut me off with a long kiss, "Better?"

"This isn't funny! I'm gonna get in serious trouble! You're not the one who slept in their boyfriend's cabin! If you were, trust me, you would be freaking out, too."

"Annabeth, it's okay. Chiron still owes us a few favors."

"Chiron's not what I'm worried about. Well, not what I'm mostly worried about. What are the campers going to say?"

"Probably that we did stuff last night." Percy raised his eyebrows in a jokingly manner.

I hit his arm, "I'm not kidding! Do you want to be punished, again?"

"No, gods, I was just trying to lighten the mood."

"Stop it, okay? I'm freaking out over here!"

"That's the exact reason why I'm trying to lighten the mood! Annabeth, we're going to Goode soon. We only have to survive a week here. Since we didn't use up all of our free days, Chiron will let us use them this week."

"You think I didn't think of that? I'm a daughter of Athena. I already knew that Chiron would let us make it up."

He wrapped his arms around me, "That means we can go back to sleep."

I laughed, "Really, seaweed brain? You still wanna sleep? How can you even go back to sleep now?"

"Well, I just lie down with you and think about you. After a while, I hear you snore. Then, I just go to sleep. We could do that, or you could read a boring book to me. I'll pass out either way. You could also start trying to do math. Then there's-"

"That's a lot of ways to get you to sleep."

"I'm tired in the morning. Now, are we going to sleep?"

"Seaweed brain, I can't. You might be, but I can't."

He pulled me down to lay on his chest, "Let's try. How about you count backwards from 100 while I watch you?"

"Are you sure you don't wanna go eat? Food's always on your mind!"

"I'm sure. Good morning."
