Annabeth POV

Now last night I will admit I was tired ,but I didn't think I was actually THAT tired to the point were I slept to 1pm and apparently and I was that tired. Not that I was surprised though because I did stay up very very late the night before. But the truly crazy part was the fact that yes I Annabeth Chase had woken up before Thalia Grace who I let sleep till about 4pm before pulling off her covers.

See normally would be mad about everything that happened ,but I knew that getting mad wouldn't solve anything and everything was going great. I wanted to keep it going that great too so I just found out what actually happened and that turn out to be the right thing to do. And everything was going great in fact so great that it was almost boring. Not that it surprised me ,but I guess I was used to all this drama happening I had become used to the whole entire Idea of it.

Though sadly because Nico's father was in we didn't see much of Percy or Nico the whole entire week. Thalia couldn't care less about not seeing them ,but she knew that it was different for me because I was dating one of them. "Annabeth remember he's like a cousin to me and I really don't care!" She complained as I started following her and saying how great it is to kiss that infamous Percy Jackson. She covered her ears and started humming after she was done screaming. I guess this was my own form of personal entertainment ,but for me it was pretty damn good.

"Why don't you just call the damn boy!" Thalia complained as I was talking and she was trying to find the remote to the TV. I looked at her weirdly, I thought she had known when I told her that Nico's father who's named was apparently Hades was in town for the whole week.

"Thalia he's in town for the whole week!" I complained picking the remote out of it's holder Thalia made me put it in the last time I had used it and threw it at her. She caught it with easily and turned it on and started flipping channels. Damn her stupid cat like reflexes I just wish for once something I threw at her would hit her before she was able to catch it. But then again mostly likely if it hit her she would kill me ,but it would still be fun.

"About that..." She said looking at me. "Well I got a call from my father and Hades actually has to leave by Friday to go to like Greece for some stupid project.." Thalia stopped to look at me again just as I was rolling my eyes. What did that have to do with anything? That was still the whole week and since when was Thalia speaking to her father? I guess there is some thing's I will never understand about this messed up business tied family connected crap because it confused me more then anything.

"Thalia that's still the whole..." I guess she knew what I was saying because she just shook her head causing me to go silent in the middle of my sentence. She just looked at me shaking her head and shaking from laughter like I was some idiot 5 year-old kid trying to eat a block Seriously she did the same thing when Bobby and Matty were that young!. I looked at her waiting for an answer because she was acting like she knew what I was talking about,

"Annabeth," She laughed a bit more before continuing, "Hades likes to stay at Air Ports two days before he actually leaves something about not making the flight seem so bad.." I guess I was starring at her like she had grown a 3rd head because she just rolled her eyes, "Everyone knows that.." She mumbled.

"Everyone meaning you, Percy and Nico, Thalia and I wouldn't call that everyone." I remarked looking at what show she had on, "Thalia the people on the Jersey Shore kill my brain cells so if you could just please change it?" I said trying to grab the remote from her as she turned the volume up louder. "Fine! Be a five year-old!" I shouted over the TV stomping away and walking to my room were my phone should be. Today was Thursday so I hoped that Percy would be able to answer his phone.

"Hello?" An exhausted Percy answered his phone.

"Hey Percy are you still with Hades because if so-" I started talking ,but I guess today was make Annabeth stop talking day because he interrupted me.

"Oh no, not anymore. Thank god too because I was about to strangle him.." He laughed easily.

"Umm Percy I don't know what's with all you business people ,but I don't think that's a good thing..." I said causing him to laugh even louder over the phone.

"Oh believe me he's just that kind of person.." I heard Percy tell someone to shut up in the back round and judging by the noise and the complaints I'm guessing it was Nico. He told me some new funny stories he had because basically baby sitting a grown man who wore black everywhere like a curtain someone we knew. Well like father like son I guessed while Percy laughed then I mentally smacked myself for almost forgetting it,

"Oh there is something I've been meaning to call you about!" I said quickly before I would forget it.

"Me too, it's about the Fourth of July.." He said as if he was reading my mind and personally I wouldn't really be surprised if he could after the things he went through with Nico the recent week. " I know this couple there hosting this Forth of July party and it's supposed to be the best one. So I was wondering if you would go with me so I wouldn't be alone. I know the two from school and there like 4 years older then me. I think they got married like last year. I remember going just not when..."

"Percy you are the smartest person I know.." I said laughing, "And yea sure I'll go and I feel like I haven't seen you in forever.."

"A week does feel like and oddly long time, but I guess we will have to fix that won't we?" Percy laughed, "I can't do anything today though because Nico claims that we haven't had 'bro time' in awhile.." I heard someone whining in the background, "Percy we haven't!" And then it sounded like someone getting kicked and fall to the ground which I could only imagine was Nico.

"You're skipping out on your girlfriend to have a 'bro date' with your friend?" I said holding back my laughter and acting fake mad ,but I screwed it up by laughing.

"Well when you put it like that it sound terrible because I would never go one a date with Nico ,but we are going to a slasher film and then we plan to throw some plates at a wall.." He breathed slowly like someone on the other side of the line was annoying him and I knew that the chances of that were very high ,but I ignored that and focused on what the heck he had said in the first place. Throwing plates at a wall? What the hell?

"What?"

"Well It's kind of fun to see glass shatter so Nico and I came up with this idea that when ever we see his father we let go of out frustrations by going to the dollar store and buying some cheap glass plates. Then we go to the tennis court of the house and throw then against the cement wall..." Those boy's have problems...

"That is the weirdest tradition I've ever heard so obviously I have to try it," I smiled to myself secretly thinking that it didn't sound fun ,not having to worry about the plates. Being able to just throw them at a wall and see them shatter. Percy laughed and we talked for an hour or two more before we said goodbye or well actually we got into a 'you hang up' war and Nico took his phone yelled, "I HANG UP BECAUSE I'M FED UP" And hung it up for him. Needless to say I won that war,but now I remembered I forgot to ask him when that damn party was. Obviously on the 4th of July ,but what time?

I looked in the mirrior to see what I had on jean shorts, gladiator flip flops and a tank top with a small sweater over it. Once again Thalia had dressed me because I couldn't decide what to wear and apperently Nico had begged her to come because he didn't want to be stuck with me and Percy all night making googly eye's at each other. She had agreed because apparently she 'knew his pain' ,but I said that was crap because she always walked out of the room if she got to annoyed.

"Annabeth you look fine and will you please get your ass down here we need to go!" Thalia shouted so loudly I could hear it though the freaking floor. "Annabeth! WHERE! ARE! YOU!"

"I'm in my room dammit!" I screamed poking my head out of the door quickly before glancing one more time in the mirror. "Besides you were the one who said go with the shoes and there so weird!"

"There cool and they go with your summer look outfit and if you aren't down here in 5 seconds so help me god!" Why did I let Thalia pick up the phone when Percy called asking if I wanted him to pick me up? because if I did I wouldn't be going though any of this now would I? Nope I wouldn't ,but with Thalia its a whole new damn story of trying to leave.

"I'm coming you can hold on for one freaking second you know!" I yelled walked down the stairs. She glared at me opening the door as I stomped out and slammed it behind her. We got into a car and I slammed it doors causing her to glare at me. I got a text message and I checked it quickly ,but it was someone commenting on something on facebook. Those stupid notifications then just as Thalia started up the car she jumped up and struggled to get her seat belt undone.

"I forgot my phone! Crap!" She yelled running back into the house and slamming the door behind her. I flipped on the radio knowing that I have at least 10 more minutes till Thalia is able to find her phone and come back out. Even though I know for a fact she put it in the kitchen cabinet for 'safe keeping' the dumb girl. See she rushed me this whole entire time then just as we are about to leave she forgot something that she needs so badly she can run back inside and look for it. Now if I tried that she would be screaming as I ran in.

When she finally got back in the car I was scowling knowing that now we were going to be late for sure. Stupid Thalia and her needing her phone, "Why did you need that anyway's?" I asked rolling my eye's as she just threw it down in the holder. She looked at me as if I had a 3rd head which got me frustrated.

"Well what happens if we can't find the house! What if we get lost! There are so many things that could happen Annabeth and your the rational one why don't you have your cell phone?" I rolled my eye's knowing that she was actually making a good point ,but Thalia knew how to drive well almost and she never get's lost. But I guess that a cell phone helps people in various situations that might happen tonight.

The rest of the drive there she complained about how bad people were driving which I knew was totally unfair because she sucked at driving herself. But tonight not only would there be bad drivers there would be drunk one's. But then again this place barley ever has anyone on it's roads or at least the one's Thalia drives on. I also worried about being late thought because I had no idea who these people were ,but they way Thalia explained them they sounded like really good people.

Finally we were here and this place looked like someone just went to the super market, bought every kind of definition possible and then threw them on everything. And the whole thing about getting lost or not knowing how to get inside the house well that was completely unlikely because there was a path of red, white and blue sparkles leading through the house and outside to the patio and the outside lawn. In the back lawn there was a shore line to a small lake and a fire pit with what I can assume to be s'mores ingredients because people were roasting marshmellows.

And knowing Percy he was the one with 5 marshmellows on his stick I walked over. Though the whole entire time I wish I knew someone else so I would look at people so weirdly because I didn't know who half these people were. I slid in an open seat next to Percy who looked at if finally I was here, "Thalia was driving.." I said hearing him laugh as one of his marshmallows burned.

There were people sitting around the fire pit and they all looked about our age which surprised me. "Eh Perce your marshmellow.." One person said who was sitting across from us which caused a round of laughter.

"Well thank you Grover you are just so damn helpful.." Percy said flatly trying to blow the flames out, "I never noticed that my marshmellow's were in flames." Which caused another round of laughter.

"Percy.."

"Yes?"

"I have no idea who these people are..." I said slowly looking around to the people joking with each other and making jokes. And it wasn't exactally helpful I had no idea what there names even where. But I guess Percy seemed to not realize that untill I told him.

"Right! I totally forgot!" He said after swallowing the marshmallows that were on fire about two seconds ago. Now how the hell did he eat those so fast? "SEE! She does exist suck it Juniper and Connor!" He smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist hugging me. Juniper smiled and laughed with some other kid who either need to shave or needed to grow his goatee more.

"Percy I didn't say I didn't believe you I just said I didn't believe Annabeth was actually existed." She laughed making her marshmallow and biting into it. "Plus you said that Me and Grover weren't going to last till now and bitch I just proved you wrong." She wagged her finger and a couple other people laughed.

"Dude I'm so not convinced you could've hired someone.." A person I guessed was named Connor said, I gave him a weird look though I it hit me these were the school friends that Thalia and Percy told me about like a week ago," Plus I wouldn't put it by you."

"Connor right?" I said pointing to him, "I can assure you that Percy didn't hire me. Plus my name is Annabeth and yes I do exist," Percy laughed as Connor just rolled his eyes,

"You think I'm just soo easy to trick when that is something someone that's hired would say!"

"Oh my god he's impossible..." I muttered while Percy laughed quietly next to me.

"Let's go for a walk.." He said standing up and offering me his hand. I took it following him and I turned around and stuck my tongue out at Connor and the person sitting next to him which I can only think was his brother. We walked together to the table were there was every single soda including some Japanese soda, and some other stuff that I was pretty sure I've never seem. "So I just realized I didn't introduce you to anyone back there now that we have arrived at this fine snack table.." Percy frowned grabbing two coke can's and tossing one to me. "But I did 'prove you existence' to some of my friends. He smiled grabbing my hand and intertwining his fingers with mine.

"That's okay though," I smiled bumping his shoulder as we walked away, "Though I took a guess at it and aren't those all your friends before you moved?"

"Yea I kind of miss the city ,but it's better out here." He said looking up at the night sky. It was only 9 o'clock ,but it was already dark so you could see all the stars. And the constellations well if you know any which I do,

"There are so many more stars ,but I really don't know any of the constellations." I could see him blushing even in the dark. I pointed a few out to him and told him the names of some I couldn't find ,but my new favorite was the Huntress because it's the newest I've spotted.

See these are the time's I think that Percy just act's like an idiot for fun because swear to god he is the sweetest person I know. We laughed about some stupid joke he made ,but then he caught my eye's. Those damn green eye's that seem so..happy. He slowly put a strand of my hair behind my ear as he leaned in to kiss me. Well guess eye's were my second favorite thing because he well he was a damn good kisser and we would've continued doing my favorite 'activity' ,but then there was a sudden voice,

"Damn he did so not pay her.." Percy snapped away looking for the source to the voice and focusing on a bush that was not so far away. I, well I was still dazed so I didn't exactally react as quickly as I would've, "Shit I think he heard me.."I heard the voice again and this time I turned my head towards where I thought it was coming from.

"Yea I heard you Connor and Travis.." Percy called to the bushes were two people fell out that looked exactly like each other. "And expect me to tell Thalia." He said with that mischievous glint in his eye's again that should scare people.

"Oh god no! Please!" I heard one of the begging and they both dropped to there knees. "The last time we spied on someone and kneed us so hard it felt like it would hurt forever..." They both winced which made Percy burst out laughing.

The rest of the party I talked to everyone and met new people and I was surprised that Percy was friends with such normal people ,but then again the boy's not exactly ugly. I made a fare few new friends and got introduced to the couple that hosted the party. There names were Silena and Charles Beckendorf apparently they knew each other in high school and got married. To say they were the cutest couple ever ,well that would be an understatement.

By the time the fireworks were set off everyone was on the shore line ,but Percy was shoving s'mores down with throat so they were already half way through before we reached the shoreline. I sat down with him and leaned on him till he whispered, "Look." And pointed to two people that had there hands intertwined, they must have thought no one was looking because slowly they both leaned in for a kiss at the end of the firework show. "Thalia and Nico that's a good couple." Percy chuckled as the lights died down and a cheer went up signaling the ending of the fireworks.

"I guess they work," I laughed as both looked around nervously in case anyone had seen them.

After the fireworks there was pretty much nothing else and by the time everyone was going home it was closer to 1am. "Well Thalia, you and Nico have gotten..close." I said glancing at her as I climbed into the car I she hesitated as she was just about to put in the keys. "I have no idea what you are talking about..." She said starting the car and turning on the radio to no doubt block me out.

That was until Thalia didn't notice that red light was changing the channel and it was a stupid mistake. "Thalia come on you have to tell me-" I was cut off my a huge CRUNCH and my head flew and hit the window making it crack like a spider web. Everything hurt I looked at Thalia once before everything went black.
