"Wakey wakey I have cakey" a voice said intruding into her blissful slumber.
"Nooooo," Annabeth moaned
"Yesssss," Piper said dragging out the s and with more enthusiasm than Annabeth was willing to tolerate.
"NOOOOOO I want to sleep."
"Well don't make me get the bucket"
Annabeth's eyes snapped open and she turned to face Piper. "You wouldn't"
Piper leaned in close "try me" then she left the cake on her desk and walked out of the room.
Annabeth wasted no time getting out of her bed and getting dressed. As soon as she was ready she went down to the kitchen in hopes of getting some breakfast. She was saving the cake for later. The kitchen was dark so she flicked the switch on and saw her friends holding a banner.
"Happy birthday!"
"Okay as much as I appreciate the gesture, how did all of you know it was my birthday?"
The responses ranged from Percy to Stalking. Annabeth laughed.
"I assume Piper already gave you the cake?" Zoe said
"Yeah it's in my room"
She smiled "well then, you must be hungry" and held out a plate of food towards her.
"Thanks guys." Annabeth said with a smile
"No problem every year we celebrate a different birthday."
"Last year we did ours" Travis said referring to his and his twin's shared birthday. *I know they aren't really twins but for the sake of this story*
"And we were suppose to celebrate mine in November but we all agreed to celebrate yours" Silena added.
"Why do guys celebrate only one birthday a year?"
"It's simpler and less hard on the brain. It's really hard to remember at least twenty birthdays a year."
Annabeth nodded
"And by the way Percy asked me to give this to you" Zoe handed her a silver box with a golden bow on top. On a ribbon attached to the bow, there was a note.
Hey wise girl sorry I couldn't be there. The queen of England called (literally). Don't worry you'll see me today. After all it is your birthday. Meet me in your room in an hour.
-Seaweed brain ;)
Annabeth couldn't help but smile at his note. She quickly finished off the rest of her breakfast and went down to the library. She spent an hour reading and went to her room. When she arrived Percy was sprawled out on her bed staring at the ceiling deep in thought.
"Are You checking me out again?" He had heard her walk in.
"In your dreams"
He chuckled and gave her room to lie down next to him. She lay there feeling his warmth.
"You know you'd better get ready, if you want to celebrate your birthday"
"Maybe I don't want to" He smirked and gave her a look, "You can't make me," she said half-heartedly. She held his stare.
"Fine!" Sighing, she went to get ready when she returned to her room Percy was standing near the door holding a picnic basket. He led out his arm and she took it and they went outside.
"Where are we going?"
"Patience my grasshopper" Percy slung an arm around her shoulders and pulled her in close to his side.
Annabeth huffed and together they walked to the museum of New York history of architecture, which was about ten minutes away. Annabeth adored the architecture so much that Percy had to pull her away to get in.
It was interesting enough but she knew most of it by heart. Although it did touch her that Percy would even think about what she liked and how he planned it for her.
Annabeth was looking at another exhibit, when she felt two hands on her shoulders. "I don't think you'll agree with me, but," Percy began to drag her away, "I think that that's enough for today. Lunch?"
"Aww, please. Just an hour more"
"We've been here all morning!"
She sighed, "Oh, alright."
They left the museum and headed to Central Park. Percy pulled out a blanket and the two ate their lunch. They talked of nothing in particular.
"And that is the legend of Hyacinth," Annabeth said proudly
"Very cool, smart girl," he said grinning, as he poked her stomach.
"Hey! Stop that!" she said, trying to hold in a giggle.
"And who is going to stop me if I don't," He challenged, as he poked her again and then again.
"Me!" She said as she landed a few pokes on him. To her surprise he laughed. "Ticklish, are we, Percy?" She asked as she started to tickle him.
He grined and tricked her back. They engaged in a tickle war although Percy was very ticklish, he won anyway. Afterward they went to Central Park. Percy had a little bit of bread after their picnic and they decided to feed the ducks. While they were feeding the majority of the winged creatures one had apparently snuck into their basket.
"Okay, well we are officially out of food," Percy said, "shall we head back?" they left but noticed a duck following them. It followed them for an hour until they escaped for a few minutes and discovered their stowaway. They then returned their little friend to its mother and burst into laughter.
"That was weird"
"No kidding"
"Come on don't you want to do anywhere in New York?" Percy asked plopping down on the ground.
"Well… I have always wanted to go to the Met again."
"Again?"
They stood in comfortable silence until Percy broke it, "Want to catch a movie?" he asked.
"Sure. What are we watching?"
"I don't know. When we get there, you pick"
They arrived by taxi and paid for their tickets. Annabeth had chosen the movie "Lucy" and when they had left the movie theater Annabeth was ranting on how in real life that was not physically possible.
"Wise girl calm down" he said, teasing her, "It was made to entertain people and not to kill their dreams, right?"
She gave a huff and stopped talking
"Hey, Are you hungry?"
She nodded. He grinned, grabbed her arm and started to run out of the park. She laughed and let herself be dragged around the block and to a taxi stop where Percy rang a cab. He opened the door for her and climbed in after her. He told the driver a place that Annabeth didn't recognize and five minutes later they got out in front of a small restaurant called "Delphi's BLD "
"Delphi? I've never heard of this restaurant." Annabeth said looking at the small restaurant.
"No one has really; I believe it's under rated. When I was young we used to come here all the time. The owner was and still is one of my friends"
Annabeth nodded. Percy smiled down at her and slung an arm around her shoulders. The door opened with a small chime and the two servers looked up from behind the counter. It was a small place. But it was really cozy. On the left there was a long L shaped counter in front of a set of double door which she assumed let to the kitchen and on the right and middle there were booths and tables. Business was low key with Only a few customers were seated at the tables.
"Hey? Is Rachel Dare here today?" Percy asked as the waiter wrote down his order.
"No today's her day off"
"Just my luck."
The guy shrugged as he turned to Annabeth to ask for her order. She looked at the menu unsure of what to get. She decided on the chowder with a side of Caesar salad and handed the menu to the waiter.
"So who is this Rachel Dare character?" she asked as their food arrived
"Just a friend," he said with a shrug.
"You have a lot of 'Friends'"
"Of course, one never knows when one may need an alibi."
"I really wouldn't be surprised if you had a friend at the Pentagon" she muttered taking a sip of her soup and a bite of her salad.
"Yes, I do actually" her responded catching her remark.
Annabeth looked at him with wide eyes.
"I'm joking," he said, as she sighed, "Maybe."
They were sitting at a table near the back of the restaurant, so no one really heard them.
"So Wise girl, were you pleased with your birthday activities?"
"Yes, it has been one of the most fun birthdays I've ever had."
"One of?"
"Yes, one of," she said sipping spoonfuls of soup.
"I must find out what was so fun about this birthday so I can top it."
"It was my fifth birthday and it was just me, my dad, and my mom. we went to the park and my dad fell into the pond."
"That's it? He fell in the pond? That is what gave it the title 'Best Birthday? lets go back to the park, I could go jump in the duck pond."
"No, but that would be very entertaining." she laughed. "We all spent the day together. He read me Greek mythology and she showed me pictures of all the places that she had been to when she was younger." She started to tear up at the memory, "We spent the whole day there. My mom and dad were so happy. The memory is like a dream now. We chased each other around the park and played on the playground. It was just the three of us."
Percy put his hand on hers, "Sorry I mentioned it."
Annabeth nodded her forgiveness. They ate and chatted.
He really did not want to break up with her. She had a great personality and an even greater body. But what's done is done and here she was with Percy Jackson of all people. He smirked and pulled u a seat at a table. He didn't bother sitting down but just stood still behind Percy, facing Annabeth he grinned as her face lit up in a scowl.
" Awww Annie I thought you missed me. And you" he said looking down at Percy like an admonishing mother "What exactly are you doing with my girlfriend."
"Luke." Percy growled without sticking his hand into his jacket.
"Ah aha ah, we have witnesses and we wouldn't want you little friend to get hurt here? Now would we?" Percy turned back around to look At Annabeth. A Man had come behind her and had one hand at his hip. Percy had watched enough Movies and had done that plenty of times himself to know that that stance wasn't casual.
"What do you want?" Annabeth asked
Luke never answered but just grinned moved to fast for Annabeth to see. Percy's eyes rolled back into his head and he slumped face - down onto the table. When she looked back at Luke he was looking down at him with a look of veiled pity. He grinned at her and a cloth came over her mouth and nose. Her last thought before she blacked out was this is so cliché.
