PERCY'S POV:

(I gulped, sure that I was about to be blown up or have some monster set on me, and turned to face my doom.)

"Perseus Jackson! How dare you!?!? HOW DARE YOU?" Athena screeched. I cringed as her voice shot through at least two octaves. The very air around her seemed to be crackling with her anger.

"How dare I what?" I asked her innocently.

"How dare you fall in love with my daughter? How dare you kiss her?!?!? She's too good for you!" she told me furiously. I pondered what I was going to say next for a minute or two.

"You're right; she is too good for me. She's got to be the smartest demi-god, like, ever. She's beautiful and smart, and she's so brave and reliable. But I love her, and by some miracle," thank you Aphrodite, I thought before continuing, "She loves me too," I informed Athena. She stood there, stunned and furious, before looking at Annabeth (Who was blushing a bright cherry red, though I'm not sure whether it was from anger of embarrassment) for confirmation. Annabeth nodded and, standing beside me, held my hand.

"But he's a son of the sea god!" Athena argued.

"Mother, I don't care! Just because you hate his father doesn't mean I have to hate him! I love him! Okay? And there is absolutely nothing you can do to change that!" Annabeth told her mother angrily. I couldn't believe this. I must be dreaming, I thought to myself. This couldn't be real. There was no way Annabeth and I could really be together, it was just too good to be true. I pinched my arm really hard, and nothing changed. I glanced at Athena again and had to hold back laughter. She was standing there looking dumbstruck, which was pretty much the funniest thing I'd ever seen. Then she got angry again. Uh-oh.

"Fine," she hissed through clenched teeth. Then I averted my eyes for a minute and she was gone. In her place were two very large hellhounds. Annabeth grabbed her knife and shimmered out of existence beside me as she put on her Yankees cap. I uncapped riptide and slashed out at one of them.

We had killed off both of the hellhounds after only a few minutes. We both had a couple scratches and bruises, but we'd had far worse before.

Slowly we started walking back to the cabins. I looked over at Annabeth and saw that her eyes were way too bright. She looked like she was on the verge of tears and her hands were shaking.

"Hey, what's the matter?" I asked softly, reaching out and grabbing her hand. She stopped and turned around to me. She looked so upset, and I didn't know what else to do. So I pulled her into a hug. She hesitated for a split second before returning the hug.

"I-I'm fine, Percy. It's just that, I just," her voice cracked," I don't like fighting with my mom, that's all."

"I'm sorry," I told her. This confused her, which in spite of the moment I thought that was funny.

"What for?" she inquired.

"It's my fault you're fighting with her," I said. She was silent for a moment.

"No it's not," She told me and then hesitated before asking, "Did you really mean all that stuff about me being brave and smart?"

"Yeah," I told her. "Every word."

"Thanks Seaweed brain," she said and she hugged me a little tighter. I stroked her hair, and we stood like that for a minute until it started to rain. Okay, first hellhounds now this. It's not even supposed to rain in camp! I glared at the sky before pulling her along by the hand to her cabin.

"Night Wise Girl!" I screamed over a clap of thunder.

"Night Seaweed brain!" She yelled back. She turned to go into her cabin but I stopped her. I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a goodnight kiss. There were three reasons I did that:

1: Because I could

2: Because I really wanted to

3: Because I knew Athena wouldn't like it.

Probably not the wisest thing to do, trying to annoy the goddess of wisdom, but hey if I were wise I wouldn't have the nickname Seaweed Brain.

We pulled apart, and I whispered "I love you, Wise Girl," into her ear before leaving her standing in the rain in front of her cabin and running as fast as I could toward cabin three (A/N: That is Percy's Cabin right?) , with a big idiotic grin spread across my face.

I walked into my cabin sopping wet, but very happy, and yawned as I willed myself to be dry. All I wanted to do was go to bed, but I still had to pack. I tossed some clothes, drachma, about 50 bucks, and some ambrosia and nectar into a backpack. I made sure I had my shield/watch on my wrist and crawled under the covers. I was out in no time.

Alright ya'll I know this was a short chapter, I'm sorry. And I'm sorry if it was a bit OOC. Anyway I hoped you liked it though, Review?
