Okay, so -does a little happy dance- I finally got the chapter done!! Okay, I know I took FOREVER and I'm uber sorry. I hope you like the chapter so R&R. Oh ya and I don't care at all if it's OOC. Because Percy and Annabeth aren't together in the books, but they're together in this fanfic so they're going to be acting somewhat differently than they do in the books..
With the gods on Mt. Olympus, Poseidon's POV:
Athena was in a bad mood, that much I could tell. But what else was new? I assumed it was because of my son. Specifically the fact that he was dating her daughter. He was obviously happy though. I feel he could do much better, but so long as she made him happy who am I to judge?
Athena stormed passed me, giving me a death glare that would make Ares cower. Well, maybe not, but it was still pretty scary.
"What have I done?' I demanded.
"You had that disgusting little kelp head son, and he made my daughter fall in love with him!" she spat. I snorted. For the goddess of wisdom, she was acting pretty immature.
"My son has a name! And he didn't make your daughter do anything!" I retorted.
"Whatever!" she growled before stormed off, yelling for Aphrodite. I just rolled my eyes. She was being very unfair about this.
Figuring she was off to have Aphrodite screw things up with my son's relationship, I stood and followed quietly, a safe distance behind the raging goddess.
She found Aphrodite, and walked into the room closing the door behind her. I walked over a leaned against the door, trying to hear what they were saying.
"I need you to destroy my daughter's relationship with that retched sea spawn!" Athena demanded.
"Well, I won't destroy it. But I can certainly complicate things," Aphrodite replied, sounding almost…giddy. Oh how that woman loved drama. I figured I should warn Percy soon. I was about to walk away when Aphrodite continued.
"I'll have to talk to one of my daughters, of course. They're irresistible. "
So, that was her plan? She doubted my son would be faithful to his girlfriend. We'll see about that.

Percy's POV:
I was sitting in my cabin, exhausted after all the training I'd done, when somebody knocked on my door. I was sore, and didn't feel like getting up. The knocking persisted though, so I dragged myself up off the bed and went to the door.
I opened it and was extremely surprised to see Silena Beauregard.
"Silena? What're you doing here?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. She didn't respond, but instead pushed me back, stepped into my cabin, and closed the door behind her. I was flabbergasted*.
"…Silena?" I said. "What the hades are you doing?" I asked as she advanced on me. She looked at me, fluttering her eyelashes. I wondered if she knew how stupid it made her look…
"I just wanted to see you," she said innocently, looking up at me from under those thick eyelashes.
"Why though?" I demanded. Before she could respond I backed into a bunk, and plunked down onto it. I shook my head and blinked a couple times. I opened my eyes to see Silena sitting beside me, her face a couple inches away.
"Silena!" I exclaimed, startled. Before I could do anything to stop her, she pounced on me. Gods, for a kid of Aphrodite she could be pretty strong when she wanted. I struggled as she pressed her lips to mine.
I heard something snap and glanced up to see Annabeth turning and fleeing from my cabin window as quick as possible.
Oh my gods…Thalia is gonna kill me!! I realized.
I ripped myself out of Silena's arms angrily. I was having a bad week with all the training and death threats, and this just made it about ten times worse.
"Oh my gods!! Silena what the hades is wrong with you?? Are you just stupid?!? Annabeth is my girlfriend. And even if she weren't I would not date you! So please, just get out of my cabin!" I exploded vehemently. Her face twisted into some odd expression and she left.
With a groan, I left my cabin and headed for the beach. I didn't even try to look for Annabeth just then, because I knew she was probably with Thalia and I didn't really feel up to getting my ass kicked. I sat brooding on the edge of the water, glaring moodily at the aquamarine waves as if it would fix anything.
I decided to go for a swim, and just try and forget about most of what happened today. For a while, at least. Swimming is just so relaxing. So I stripped off my T-shirt and dove into the foamy waves, still wearing my shorts. I allowed myself to get wet, because where was the fun in swimming if I didn't?
I explored the depths of the water for a while, before I realized the water around me was almost completely dark.
How long have I been out here? I idly wondered as I willed the current to drift me back towards shore. I popped my head above the surface to see a figure hunched over a little ways down the shore, golden locks shining in the moonlight.
I instantly realized it was Annabeth. I crept silently down the beach, on land now, and once I got close to her I noticed that as she stared stonily out into the water gleaming tears silently flowed down her cheeks. Wise girl didn't move, or make a sound, but nonetheless I knew I must have really hurt her, because she never ever cries.
Wordlessly, I sat down beside her and wrapped my arm around her shoulder. She crumbled and buried her face into my chest. I pulled her onto my lap and wrapped my other arm around her.
"…Why?" she choked out, trying to keep her voice even. I tucked her head under my chin, and tightened my arms around her.
"I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am. But I swear I didn't kiss Silena. She forced her way into my cabin, and pretty much pounced on me," I explained, praying to every god I could think of that she would believe me. Silence. I could tell she was skeptical.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and practically jumped out of my skin. Without letting go of Annabeth, I turned just enough to see my dad standing behind me.
"Gah! What is it with you gods and sneaking up on people?" I snapped. He laughed good-naturedly.
"It's fun, and we can. So why not?" he replied with a shrug. I rolled my eyes. He had a point.
"Please tell me you're taking this better than Athena," I said hopefully, nodding slightly at the morose girl still sniffling in my arms. He nodded and I felt relief wash over me.
"Athena went to Aphrodite, hoping that blasted woman would do something to sabotage your relationship," my dad explained. "So Aphrodite went to her daughter, and well…you know what happens from there. "
I nodded, and Annabeth wrapped her arms around my waist. Poseidon left, and we just sat there in silence for a while.
"Wise girl, I didn't kiss back. I swear."
"I know Seaweed Brain," she mumbled into my chest. I knew it was late, and we both needed to get to sleep, so I untangled myself from my girlfriend's arms and stood, pulling her up to her feet. We started walking, our fingers intertwined.
Then something hit me like a ton of bricks.
"Ummmm….Wise Girl, can you please…uh, tell Thalia not to kill me?" I asked as I recalled the child of Zeus's earlier threats. Annabeth looked at me and laughed.
"Of course Seaweed Brain, I can't have my best friend trying to kill my boyfriend now can I?" she replied. I blushed and we just talked and laughed like that all the way back to the cabins.
Okay, I feel like this chapter was alright. I hope you liked it. And if there are any grammar or spelling errors Please let me know because this hasn't been proofread like, at all but I'm working on it! Review please!!
