Witness Protection
Chapter 15
PERCY POV
I was by the lake talking to Grover and Nico about dinner plans with the girls. We decided that we would take a group date, and ease us into a relationship. But Annabeth and I really don't need that. After all, we are living together.
"Guys… before we start thinking of the girl's lips, we need to find a place to eat." I said, taking Grover and Nico out of their dream like faces.
"Fine." They said in unison. I chuckled and pulled out my laptop. I searched the sights to see if there was any good restaurant, like Applebee's, or Ruby Tuesdays. I looked and saw that there was an Applebee's by here, and I showed Grover and Nico. It wasn't all my decision.
"Perfect. Not to classy and not too shabby." Grover explained making me wear a triumphant smile, pointed at Nico. He had talked about taking them to Burger King. Not a good idea.
I could just see the look on Annabeth's face if I told her we would go to Burger King for a date. Her face would get all scrunched together, and she would start screaming at me. "YOU DON'T TAKE A GIRL OUT TO BURGER KING FOR A DATE!" And she would be fuming for the remainder of the week.
We went to the dining pavilion, where the girls were probably at now.
"Hey Annabeth!" I yelled, making everyone look at us. I saw the instant blush on her face, letting me know that my attack on her was a success. I just laughed and kissed her cheek. Cueing another blush. Oh, this was just too good.
"What's up seaweed brain?" she asked me, looking at all of the boys weird expressions. Well, weird for us, anyway.
"Well, the boys and I were thinking of taking all of you girls out on a group date. Do you like?" I asked, looking at Juniper and Thalia too.
"Well, who's asking who on the date?" Annabeth asked, putting her hands on her hips. I just walked over and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Nico is going to ask Thals, and Grover is going to ask Juniper." I whispered in her ear, so the boys could at least ask their dates nicely. I think I did mine well.
"Okay, I think that I should find a dress… but… where are we going?" she asked me with curiosity. I looked at her and smiled.
"That, my girlfriend, I cannot tell you." I said, and then ran away. "BUT DRESS IN SOMETHING FANCY!" I yelled over my shoulder. I laughed when I was in my cabin, only to find the twins staring at me.
"Where were you mister?" Adela scolded, like scolding your child. I shrunk back away from her. That girl gave me the creeps.
"I-I was with friends…" I lead on; I could feel my palms getting sweaty. If these two did anything to my things when I was out… oh boy. Prepare for world war III.
"And?" Aaron asked, sitting back in his chair. These kids were enjoying this.
"And I was thinking… what better ways to have a date than make two adolescent kids get me ready." I leaned back now.
"Who's going on this date?" Adela asked, playing with her fingers.
"Annabeth and I, Nico and Thalia, Grover and Juniper." I summed up. She just shrugged and walked to the cooler, pulling out two cokes.
"Good. I was hoping that you weren't going to bring the new 'it' couple. Lainie and Ned." Adela explained.
"Yeah, cause she has a crush on Ned." Aaron said, in a way only a brother can.
"Do not!"
"Yes you do."
"NOT!"
"Yes Adela, you have a crush on Ned."
"NO!"
"Yup."
They went on like this for awhile, until it got boring and I made them shut up.
"Adela, you like Ned, just admit it. I have a feeling that Aaron likes a girl too." I said, making Aaron's eyes bulge out of his head. Adela walked over to me and handed me a five dollar bill. I don't even know where she got it from.
"Where-" She cut me off.
"SHH! You are going to tell me who he likes." She slapped me, and gave me the money fully.
I told her. "Molly, from the Athena cabin." I said, Adela hit herself on the head.
"I should've known…" I laughed at her behavior, even though I could relate. I should have known from the start that Nico and Grover liked the girls. I guess I was just not really seeing what was put before me.
"Percy!" Adela called. I saw her and Aaron at the door.
"What's up?" I asked, standing up. She sighed, still holding the cabin door open.
"You're coming with us." Aaron said, motioning for me to hurry. I put on my shoes and followed them out the door.
I looked at where they were going. We were headed to go to the Aphrodite cabin. Great.
Adela walked right in, and a crowed of boys engulfed her. I have to admit I felt a little sorry for her… NOT!
I laughed and was soon followed at that by Aaron. He really liked to see his sister like that. But I think that if it were the real thing, like Luke was after her, he would never leave her side. (That's how my bro's and I are :P) Just like Annabeth and me.
We can take a joke, but when it becomes a threat… we wouldn't back down. It's not a suggestion at all. Never.
I saw Adela squeeze her way through the boys, punching the occasional one. I just slung her over my shoulder and sat her down next to a giggling Selena.
"Selena, Percy's going on a date tonight… and I think you need to get him ready."Adela said, giving her a wink that only women could understand. Selena smiled.
"Now… what about Annabeth?" Selena asked, defiantly not directing that to me.
"I was thinking that we could have the girls work with her, and the boys Percy." Adela said, giving me one of her famous evil smiles. I don't know how Adela could get her crush to like her… that would be one miracle.
I didn't notice Aaron had been gone, until he walked in dragging a clueless looking Annabeth. This was pretty funny.
I think that this was one of the first times that I'd ever seen Annabeth clueless. I mean Annabeth and clueless just don't add up.
"What in the world is going on here?" she asked. I could tell she was fuming. I was just laughing.
"Well… I think that you need a good makeover before your date with big Percy here." Adela said, gesturing to me. I gave her a small smile.
"Percy. Don't tell me you put them up to this!" Annabeth exclaimed, her eyes wide. Heh… like I'd be smart enough to do this.
"Nope." I said, shrugging. Annabeth just shook her head, smiling.
"Good. I wanted to know if you got some smart particles injected into you." She smirked at me. Did she just call me stupid?
"Yes. She just called you stupid." Adela said, giving herself a face palm. Touchy touchy.
Wait… did I just say that out loud?
"Yes Percy, you did just say that out loud." Aaron said, trying to contain his laughter. I looked at Annabeth and she smiled.
"Percy, you are smart when you need to be. That's all that matters." Annabeth told me, before being whisked away by the Aphrodite girls and Adela. Now it was just the guys. And all of them but Aaron and I wore pink. We are in for a heap of trouble.
ANNABETH POV
I was being taken away from Percy by all of the girls. Percy wore that signature smile at me when I was dragged in the door by Aaron. It I swear that Percy was put on this earth to be my guardian angel, and also daemon. I mean, seriously… he makes me so mad sometimes… but then he always makes up for it. It's who he is.
"What are you going to make me wear?" I asked, sounding extra bored.
"We are going to make you look good, so don't fuss missy." Selena scolded me. I gulped and shut up. This was going to be one long day. Not night, because then I would be on my date!
After an hour of plucking, ripping, tugging, and anything else you can think of, they finally said the magic words. "Open your eyes!"
I opened them, and saw myself in front of a full body mirror. Leave it to the Aprodites to have a mirror.
I looked at myself for the like it seemed 'first time'. I looked hot. If not, beautiful.
I was wearing a sea green dress that matched Percy's eyes perfectly, and it draped down my body like a waterfall.
I looked down at my shoes and saw that I was wearing heels… but cute ones. They were a pearl color, they shined in the sunlight. I think that they would be cute in the moon tonight.
I finally looked at the feature I hated most of me. My face. It was glowing. I don't know how the Aphrodite girls managed to pull that off. It must've taken a lot of work. I wonder what Percy would think…
"Annabeth, you look gorgeous." Adela smiled, walking up from behind me. She looked like she had a little make over too. Her hair was done in a French braid, and she was wearing makeup, but you couldn't make it out because it just was so natural. That's what they did to me too.
Selena knew that I hated make up, so why not make it natural? That's exactly why I like her.
I walked out of the room with Adela beside me, and came face to face with the most handsome man I'd ever met. Percy Jackson, my boyfriend.
PERCY POV
After all of those countless minutes of sitting in that cursed chair, I finally got to see myself.
I have to admit, those boys didn't do as bad as I thought they would. I looked decent. And I was happy. I was wearing a sea green button down shirt, and it matched my eyes perfectly. I was amazed.
They put me in black trousers, which pulled the whole thing together. I think that Annabeth would be surprised. I never dressed like this before with her as my girl. I did dress somewhat like this a while ago for a high school friend's wedding, but I haven't in a while.
My hair was its usual self, but more tame. It wasn't slicked back, but it wasn't wild either. Perfectly in the middle. I heard Aaron come up from behind me.
"I'm going out with Molly tonight, so Adela's going to be alone…" He started. He didn't have to finish. At camp, it was different for Adela to be alone. You never know if someone will decide to take her. And in my line of work… let's just say that it had happened to a few kids in the past.
"I'll send her to a friend's cabin for the night." I said, looking down at him. Aaron was only 5'11 at my 6'2 figure, so it wasn't that much of a difference.
Aaron smiled and looked behind me. I turned around too, only to be met with the most beautiful woman in the world. Annabeth Chase/Jackson, my girlfriend.
I gave her a hug and we complemented each other on our outfits. She called me handsome! YES! And I called her beautiful.
After getting Adela's arrangements arranged, we left for Applebee's.
It turned out that the other couples were waiting for us. They wolf whistled when we walked to the table. "What an entrance!" Nico exclaimed, by seated by Thalia. Juniper was by Thalia, and Grover was by Juniper. I took a seat next to Nico and Annabeth next to me.
We sat in a corner booth, where it wrapped around in almost a complete circle. We were all dressed formally, but not too formal.
I looked at Annabeth and smiled, she was in a heated discussion with Grover about how it's okay to use trees in projects. I could see her point. "You just got to plant two more." She kept on saying. I honestly don't think that Grover was listening. He just kept on rambling on.
I smiled at all my friends and girlfriend getting along. I wish my life could stay like this forever.
And that's when the gunshots were fired, followed by women and children screams. And the occasional man. I knew that this wasn't just going to be a good dinner… I would be fighting for Annabeth and I's lives.
HAHAHAHA! I was going to end differently, but I decided not to… it would kill me to write it.
