Disclaimer: Last time I'm posting this, no matter how much I wish I did I don't own PJO!

PERCY'S POV:

"Percy, can I talk to you in private?" I gulped and followed her into the other room. Once we were out of Annabeth's earshot my mom turned on me.

"Care to explain what you were doing just now?" she asked in a I-swear-to-zues-if-you-lie-to-me-I'll-kill-you sort of way.

"W-we, were uh, just goofing around Mom," I said without looking up.

"Percy, I'm glad that Annabeth is here and," she paused, looking like she was biting back laughter, " that you two are obviously friends again. But you know what that looked like just now."

"Yeah, mom, I know, but I swear on the river Styx it wasn't like that! We just got into a stupid, well, argument I guess."

"Okay, Percy, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here. So anyway why is she here?"

"Well, her parents kicked her out, she was really upset and she just came here," I said, then added, "Please, Mom, can she please stay here? Just for a week, I was going to go to camp after that anyway." I was begging now.

She sighed, "Alright, Percy, you know I have no problem with her staying, but I don't want to walk in on any more…wrestling matches."

"Thanks mom!" I said before running back out into the living room to talk to Annabeth.

ANNABETH'S POV:

Oh gods I'm so humiliated…I shuddered. We seriously needed to talk. That is if his mom isn't kicking me out too. I didn't think I could handle leaving before I could talk with him, and explain why I did what I did at camp last summer. I'd felt awful for weeks afterward. I'd just walked away. I wanted to look back, to see how he'd reacted, but I didn't because if I did turn around he would've seen the tears rolling down my cheeks. I knew I'd hurt him, so I couldn't bear to talk to him afterwards. I tried to contact him several times. I dialed his number only to hang up after the second ring, or started to IM him then stopped. I wrote countless letters to him, trying to explain how I felt, but I always wound up wadding them up and throwing them away. I just need some more time to sort out my feelings. Hmmm….I wonder what's taking Percy so long…

Just then he came walking back in. He sat down beside me on the couch indian- style.

"So my mom says you can stay."

"Really? That's great!" I said, genuinely happy, and without thinking I hugged him. He stiffened at first, but then relaxed his arms around me returning the hug. We sat there for Zues knows how long but eventually I pulled away, even though I didn't really want to. There was an awkward silence that he broke by saying "So, what do you want to do today?" I thought for a minute.

"I dunno" I said after a minute with a shrug.

"Wow!" he said teasingly, "Wise Girl doesn't have all the answers after all!"

"Shut up" I muttered, punching him playfully on the arm. He got an expression of mock hurt on his face and sighed dramatically.

"Oh no! I got her angry!! How will I go on now? I'd better sleep with one eye open!"

"Yes, you'd better," I agreed, then I surprised myself. I giggled. I. don't. giggle. Gods, what's wrong with me?

PERCY'S POV:

Oh my gods. Annabeth Chase just giggled. I loved her giggle. It was so cute! I wish she'd do that more often. Then I gasped.

"I have an idea!!" I said brightly. She rolled her eyes.

"There's a first time for everything I suppose,"she drawled.

"Hey!"

"Well…"

"D'you wanna hear my idea or not? I'd hate for it to go to waste seeing as it's so rare for me." I said sarcastically.

"Alright, what's your "brilliant" idea?" she asked.

"Well no, since I'm such a seaweed brain, you prolly wouldn't wanna hear it anyway!" I teased her.

"Percy…" she leaned in and I swear my heart stopped beating. For just a second it really did. "Please tell me," she breathed, and she was right there. I got so caught up in being distracted by her that I forgot the conversation. That's when it hit me, I was in love with my best friend. Crap. Athena is so going to kill me.

THE END!!!!!!!!!

teehee calm down, I was just kidding. jeeeez. Now back to the story.

"Tell me" Annabeth repeated. I shook my head and broke the spell.

"Oh, right. Ummmm….There's a fair in town. We could go to that."

"Okay!!" she said, and she smiled a breath taking smile. I got all distracted by her again. Oh gods help me I'm screwed. I shook my head again, trying to think straight.

Ahhhhhhhhh okay so how'd you like chapter 3??? What's Percy gonna do!?!? Well that's for me to know and you to find out! Ha! Will update soon. Review?
