Hey, I'm back! WooooHooooo! So guess what my mom and I just did…. Bought TAYLOR SWIFT tickets! AHHHHHH! Also, do any of you watch the office? If so, who saw the wedding OMG! It was friggin amazing; I'm totally in love with Jim Halpert! And guess what else…. Tickets to Athens are still about $1,500. :( I'm so sad; I want to go sooo bad! Anyways, down to business. Here is the next chapter, sorry it took so long. Also, I know you guys all really want some percabeth (I can't blame you!) but the story needs to take its time, I don't want to rush things too much, they have to be friends before they are actually together, but don't worry, they will get together, however, I did try to put some cute moments into this. Enjoy!

"Oh
my god, I can't believe you actually own this, what happened to
your manliness?" Annabeth smirked up at me while holding Hercules,
the Disney movie, in her hand.
"Hey, I was really into the Greek myths as a kid and this was my favorite movie, okay, don't you dare make fun of Herc!" I said trying to defend myself. We had come back to my apartment after we found out Annabeth was locked out of hers. However, instead of calling the locksmith right away, she decided to plop down on my couch, demand a cup of milk, and search through all my movies for one she wanted to watch. My best friend is a three year old. "So are we going to watch that one or do I have to wait another ten minutes for you to pick out a movie?"
"Go get me a cookie and maybe I can pick one out faster."
"And you are how old?"
"Shut up seaweed brain!" She pointed at her swollen ankle, "I'm injured." I rolled my eyes and walked back into the kitchen to see if I had any of the chocolate cookies my mom had sent me left. After a couple minutes of searching I finally found them and brought them back to the living room where Annabeth sat slouched on the couch biting her lip, a movie in each hand. Her eyes darted back and forth between the two. I set the cookies down on the coffee table and plopped next to her, "What movies do you have?" She held them up, The Princess Bride and Hercules. "Wow wise girl, and you called me unmanly."
"Well, first of all, you are the one who owns them, and secondly, I'm not a man in case you hadn't noticed, so it's okay for me not to be manly, in fact, its normal." She replied while grabbing a cookie and dunking it in her milk. She was just about to bite into it when he eyes widened and she dropped he milk on her lap, sending it spilling all over her shorts. "What the hell! It's blue!"
I laughed, "That's your reaction to blue cookies?"
"Is it mold?"
"Yes, I gave you a moldy cookie, of course it's not mold, I thought you were smart."
"I am smart, and typically, when one sees a blue cookie, they become startled and assume its mold."
"Well it's not, it's this tradition my mom and I have, we make a lot of food blue."
"Mamma's boy," she smirked, then looked down at her soaked pants. "Um, do you have any spare pants?" She asked, he face turning bright red.
"Why, you have a little accident?" I joked.
"No you idiot! It's your fault I spilt my milk!"
"How is it my fault?"
"It just is!"
"Wow, really logical," I said smirking, then she gave me a death glare, "okay, okay, I'll go get you some old sweat pants, you just pick a movie." I got up and walked in to the hall leading to my bedroom. I quickly grabbed a random pair of navy sweat pants from my drawer and headed back to Annabeth. When I got back, she was standing up leaning against the couch. "Here, they should fit, the bathroom is down the hall on the right. Did you pick a movie?"
"Thanks, and yeah, it's on the couch." She headed down the hall using the wall for support. I looked down at the couch and grabbed the DVD. Hercules. I smiled to myself, could she get any more perfect.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ugh! That isn't even how he slew the Hydra! God, this is so frustrating!" exclaimed Annabeth.
"Calm down, it's just a movie."
"Yeah, but they should stick to the facts."
"It's Disney."
"Okay fine, but still, it's annoying." I laughed at her annoyance, we were only about half an hour into the movie but she had already made about twenty complaints about how it didn't follow the "actual" myth.
"Now my foot hurts."
"You're so whiney."
"Okay, well I have had a pretty crappy day Mr. First I woke up early so I would be ready in time for my ride, but he was late," she looked pointedly at me, " then I had to spend half my day at a stupid team building fun fair, I twisted my ankle, got locked out of my apartment, spilt milk all over my new shorts and now my foot hurts."
"Wow."
"I know, someone's out to get me, I bet it's my uncle, he never liked me." I chuckled at her disgusted expression then pulled her feet onto my lap and started to massage them. "There, is that better your majesty?" her face was red, and I'm sure mine was too, but she nodded and we continued watching Hercules doing his twelve labors in a music montage.
After a while she moved her feet and sat up next to me grabbing a handful of the popcorn I had made earlier. "Watch out, it might be blue."
"Shut up seaweed brain."
"You say that a lot."
"I wonder why."
"Ha-ha." I said sarcastically she smiled, then yawned and laid her head on my shoulder. I was surprised but hey, if she wants to lean her head on my shoulder, I have no objections! "Getting tired wise girl?"
"Yep."
"You do realize it's only 5:00 right."
"So?"
"Nothing." I said turning back to the movie. Before long Annabeth was wide awake again and we started to sing along to Meg's Won't Say I'm in love. Suddenly she turned to me and said, "I'm hungry."
"Really? I'm Percy."
"That was not funny at all."
"No, you just lost your ability to laugh."
"Whatever, let's go get food."
"And miss the epic end of Hercules, I think not."
"We can come back and finish Hercules, but right now I say we go eat. Is there anywhere really good around here?"
"Yeah, there's a great family owned diner just down the street, but how are you planning on getting there, you can't exactly walk that well."
"Give me a piggy back ride; you did it at the beach."
"Yeah, but this is New York."
"You afraid of hurting your image?"
"You're impossible."
"And that's why you love me!" I smiled, she had no idea.
"Fine, I'll give you a piggy back ride, but I get to pick the next movie."
"Next movie?"
"Annabeth, its only 5:30."
"Fine, let's go." And with that we headed out the door.
