Look Out Ladies, Here I Come!

A/N: Another chapter! I was really disappointed with the way the reviews didn't flow like they did for my completed story, Daughter of Hera. But, I'll keep writing anyways! I hope you enjoy! I also put up another story called The Age of the Heroes. It hasn't gotten much acknowledgement, to my extreme sadness, apart from my loyal reviewers, ButterLover2345 and JLover97. Love you guys! So do check it out and leave a review, because more reviews = more updates for ALL stories!

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson… Annabeth Chase does! (I read it somewhere and found it MEGA-cute, so I just had to type that!)

Percy hummed to himself as he scanned the back of the carton of milk before dumping it in the tray along with his mega-pack of M&Ms and one-liter bottle of Coca Cola. "Hey man, just bill these for me too," Leo said, dumping a load of magazines in the cart. Percy nodded absentmindedly, his nose stuck in a book. He steered his way around stacks of cans and crying children to the counter, where he began unloading the stuff onto the till.

"So, these are yours?" Percy perked up when he heard a familiar voice. He could feel the smirk on her face. He looked up and smiled lopsidedly at Annabeth who was holding up a copy of the Playboy magazine. Percy felt his face heat up and he stammered, "Wha- no! No, no, no, no… those are my friend's! No way! I'd never-"

"Relax Seaweed Brain, I was just kidding." Annabeth said, simultaneously packing his stuff into a paper bag. "That'll be ten twenty five please." Percy fished in his pocket for some change and handed it to her. As she counted it he asked her, "You work here?"

"How observant Percy."

"No, I mean, you're like Super Girl. Supermarket worker in the day and taxi driver at night, that kind of thing." Annabeth laughed and said, "No, this is all actually just to support my college tuition fees. I'm an Architecture student at TAFE. My dad… can't really pay for it and my mom upped and left when I was born. Dad told me she was an architect too." Her eyes seemed to shine for a moment. "Anyway, here's your stuff. Have a nice day!"

Percy began leaving but then turned back. "Hey Beth? I wanted to ask you something. Would you like to come to a party with me? It's an informal business party, to celebrate the success of our newest game. I kind of had to bring a-a date." He scratched his head bashfully. Annabeth tinkled lightly. "Aww, is ickle-wickle Perseus shy?" she teased. "Of course I'd like to come!'

Percy seemed to regain his composure. He smiled brightly and winked at Annabeth before sauntering off. "I'll pick you up at seven. Wear something sexy!"

He could practically feel Annabeth blush behind him and he smirked.

Percy tapped his foot impatiently as he looked at the watch. Why do girls need so much time to get ready anyways? He turned around at the sound of the door opening, getting off his car which he was leaning on. Only for his jaw to drop to the ground.

In front of him stood the prettiest, the sexiest woman he'd ever seen. Only one word registered in his mind. Annabeth.

She was wearing a cocktail gown, in a fire-truck red, with a slit down the side, revealing her bare legs. Red stilettos added a good three of inches to her height, making her just three inches shorter than him. She had a red clutch in her hand and she was wearing coral eye-shadow, light peach blush, black eye-liner and a mix of coral-red lipstick. Her blonde hair fell in princess-y curly waves, with honey highlights he hadn't noticed before.

She was beautiful.

She giggled in a very un-Annabeth-like way and walked down the steps over to him. Percy blurted out, "You match my Ferrari." Annabeth smacked him lightly and said, "Well? Are you going to stand here all day or open the door for me?" Percy scrambled to oblige and then slid in next to her. He revved the engine and drove to the venue. A comfortable silence fell around them till they reached the ground where the party was being held.

Percy hopped out of the car and opened his date's door, giving her his arm to hold on to. He felt a sense of pride as he watched the photographers click away frantically when he walked down the red carpet. He smugly picked up a glass of champagne from the tray a waiter was offering around and handed one to Annabeth, who laughed. "What's so funny?" he demanded.

"Your face… it just looks so cute!" She twinkled and gave him a kiss on his cheek. She laughed again at his expression and walked away.

Percy stared after her dumbfounded.

"You invited a taxi driver to the party?" Jason burst out. Percy shushed him and said, "That's only to pay for her university tuition. She's an Architecture student."

"Still man! Not cool!"

"How the hell does it even matter Jase? How?"

"There are going to be a lot of important people here Jackson and she might screw things up for you!"

"She wouldn't do that."

"What do you know?"

"I do know, Jase, trust me, I do." Percy turned around, signaling a clear end to the conversation. He looked around for his Anna- whew, were did that come from? He finally saw her talking to the President of the company, deeply engrossed in conversation. He walked over quickly, till he heard the topic of conversation. They were talking about the stock market and the estimated value of the company in five years' time. "Good evening Mr. Sheehan. I hope you're enjoying yourself." Mr. Sheehan nodded. "I am. Smart young lady you got there, Jackson. She's a keeper." He winked and the other two blushed deeply. "I'll be off now. You young folk enjoy yourselves, alright?"

"Yes sir. Good night."

"Good night Perseus." Percy turned to Annabeth. "Come on, there's an amazing spot I know, behind the trees. I go there whenever I get tired of 'socializing' here." He mad air-quotes and pulled Annabeth towards the garden. They walked into the trees, dimly lit by lights, following a narrow path.

They finally reached a clearing and Annabeth let out a small gasp. The entire place was lit by blue fairy lights, making the moon appear blue, and the trees shine. There was a pretty pond full of Koi, with a bridge across, padded to allow people to sit. Percy held up a bag of fish food. "Wanna feed the fish?" Annabeth laughed and nodded. Percy just grinned and pulled her over. They plopped down and he handed her a bag. They watched in silence as the fish swarmed every which way, trying to get as much food as they could.

Annabeth felt someone's gaze on her. She turned her head to see Percy looking at her intensely. She looked at him in confusion and he just shook his head. Leaning in, he gave her a long sweet kiss. When he finally pulled away, he just whispered, "Once in a blue moon," and left.
