Chapter 3
PercyPOV
"Hey Percy" Luke said happily. "Where are you going?" "I'm heading for the beach to go swimming." "cool cool" He said grinning then Thalia and Annabeth walked by with towels around them so I figured they were going to the beach. Luke looked at me. He said "Dude you have to ask her sometime." He was right I wanted to ask Annabeth so bad to the fireworks but I didn't want to make a fool out of myself I really liked Annabeth. When we got to the beach Annabeth and Thalia were already laying on a raft relaxing. Luke and I went out into the lake it was warm. We went a few feet away from the raft and tried to eavesdrop on the girls but heard nothing. Luke said "lets make a bet if I ask Thalia to the fireworks and she says yes you have to ask Annabeth to go to the fireworks." I wasn't really sure but I said yes. He went over to the raft and climbed on it and went up to Thalia I heard him ask her. She stared at him for awhile then flipped him off the raft, he came back up wiping his face and Thalia smiled at him and Luke stuck his tongue out at her then said "about the fireworks?" Yes stupid now go so I can relax and zap Clarisse. I went over to Annabeth I asked her "do you want to go to the fire..." I didn't need to finish. She screames "Yes!" so loud I fell off the raft. "come here seaweed brain" Then she started reading a book and I left. Later after having a picnic we went to get our stuff for capture the flag Luke, Thalia and I were on a team and we all stood next to the flag watching out for Annabeth. When I was talking to Thalia an arrow went in my shoulder I saw that it was the Apollo kids. I pulled it out and started fighting with Luke and Thalia. Then we heard I got the flag!We saw Annabeth she must have followed us into the woods and waited for the moment to capture the flag. She took off her cap and smirked at me. Thalia yelled at Luke cause he didn't gaurd the flag then she tzapped Luke. "Athena always wins." Annabeth said. Then Luke said "except Percy's first time playing capture the flag."Shut up.. Annabeth said.I remember coming to camp.I had no idea what the heck I was doing. (Capture the flag from the movie not book) After that we went to go have dinner we were having chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. I sat on my table alone again I wish Tyson were here he always cheers me up not that I was sad I just was tired and wanting to talk to my brother but I knew he was doing something he loved. After dinner we all went to our cabins for the fireworks. I got on a sea blue T-shirt with some jean shorts and sneakers I made sure I smelled good then fixed my hair and stepped outside I walked over to the Athena cabin I saw Luke waiting by the Zeus cabin he smiled and waved I waved back. After five minutes Annabeth came out she was wearing a turquoise owl shirt, jean shorts, flip flops, with her hair pulled back in a ponytail. She smiled at me She said "Hi" I said "hi".
Thalia'sPOV
I opened the door to see Luke. I thought he was gonna say something sweet but instead said "Oh hi sorry I was thinking about tacos." We walked to the beach then started dancing. Mr. D came and went to an Aphrodite daughter and picked up her hair and started chewing on it. "AHHHH this freak is chewing my designer hair!" she screamed. Then we watched the fireworks. Luke looked at me and kissed me! "Where the heck did you get the guts to do that!" I screamed. Then we saw that we were on Kiss Cam! I didn't know this place had a Kiss Cam! I looked at Luke he was blushing .Then we heard Annabeth's scream. We ran to get our weapons. When we were coming back I ran into Luke he helped me up then we started running again he said he packed in his pocket some nectar and ambrosia squares. I said that was good thinking. As we got closer we could hear fighting. When we got their we saw Annabeth yelling frantically in the wet smelly Minotaur. Percy was fighting a Chimera while I snuck up behind the Minotaurand stabbed my spear in his back it didn't do too much damage so then I climbed to his neck and stuck my spear in the back of his head. He let go of Annabeth and she fell to the ground hard while the Minotaur was losing his balance I jumped off his neck just in time and tumbled to the ground. Once I got up I went over to Annie who was moaning. Luke was feeding her some ambrosia while Percy and I went off looking for her hat and dagger he said it flew behind her so we went searching there. I found her hat behind a rock with some poop on it and he found her dagger on a tree branch. We went back over to Annie and Luke she said she could walk but her head hurt a lot. We stood her up and started walking towards camp her face, arms, legs, and clothes were all covered in dirt and she had scratches on her arms and legs and one across her cheek. When we got out of the woods we called for help. Chiron came over. Chiron looked at Annie and said "What hurts?" She looked up at him and said I'm a little dizzy and my stomach hurts a lot. He picked her up and brought her to the infirmary. We asked Percy what happened? "Well we were going off to the woods so we could talk alone without being disturbed and so we could still see the fireworks but then the Minotaur came and yanked Annabeth up her hat and dagger flew back so I couldnt use them, then the Chimera came and I fought it, then you guys showed up." Then Luke said "Okay." Then we walked off to check on Annabeth in the infirmary while the fireworks exploded behind us and people screamed and clapped.
