Annabeth POV

Annabeth was heading straight to her cabin when Percy tapped her on the shoulder. He gave her a big smile.

"Follow me." He said. He took her hand and took her to the mystery place.

"Where are we going?" She asked. She had a playful edge to her voice. She missed how playful they were with each other. When they met she hated Percy. Then she got to be best friends with him. And now they are in love. It's amazing how different you can feel for someone. Percy kept tugging her to wherever he was taking her.

"Close your eyes." He told her. She did as he ordered. He pulled her a little more then said the one word she's been waiting for. "Open." She did as he told. There was a small pond with a little rowboat. She let out a laugh.

"Oh my gods." She laughed. "What is this?" She smiled at him.

"It's a date. I see something like this in all the romantic movies. The couple goes out in a boat alone for a while, when it's nice and quiet. I thought now would be the only time." He smiled and gestured for her to get in the boat. "Ladies first." She smiled and gave him a little curtsey. She climbed in the boat and he climbed in after her. He took her hands and smiled at her. "You're so beautiful."

"Well I'm no Aphrodite." She joked.

"You are to me." She couldn't help but smile at him. "You know what this makes me think of? That time one our first quest when we had to go on the love ride together."

"And almost got eaten alive by spiders? Hm, I'm not very fond of that memory." He laughed and so did she. "I love you."

"I love you too." She kissed him. She started thinking about Gaea and their agreement.

"Would you do anything for the one you love?" She asked.

"I'd do anything for you, Annabeth. Do you know how much I thought about you while we were apart? Ask Hazel and Frank, I talked about you every day. I thought about you all the time."

"Same. I was a mess. You were all I thought about. You were what all the camp thought about. Percy you were on everybody's mind." She said that so sincerely. She yawned and leaned on Percy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Her dream was reflecting back on their first quest. Everything that had happened to them. All the feelings so began to feel for him. They were all there. It was like a collage of memories. Then it all faded to black. She heard voices.

"Look you stupid rock, you better let me go! My sister and six other demigods are coming to get me." The voice sounded very familiar. It was a boy.

Nico, do you honestly believe that they are going to save you? Your sister has plenty of drama already. Percy is probably very mad at you for lying to him. You are a low priority to them. Maybe if I don't kill them first, they will consider saving you. Nico DiAngelo? Bianca's brother? He couldn't be. Image started to fade in.

"You're lying! My sister would never leave me behind!" The image was almost fully back. It was Nico. He was in chains. She couldn't see Gaea though.

Like Bianca? Gaea said in a malicious voice. Nico's face went pale.

"Don't you dare talk about her! I can't wait till they kill you. They will prevail! You're going to lose. You have no power, the only thing you have is powerful monsters working for you.

Watch it boy. I have a secret weapon that no one will expect. Annabeth knew that was her. Annabeth had to make a choice when the time came.

"Go to the underworld, Gaea! This time don't rise!" Nico was so angry. When Gaea was about to respond the dream went black. She abruptly woke up. Her head was on Percy's lap.

"Annabeth? Are you okay?" Percy asked with concern. She told Percy her dream, but did leave out the part about her assisting Gaea…maybe. "Oh my gods." He held Annabeth gently and comforted her. "Everything will be okay. We will save Nico, and defeat Gaea. Trust me." He looked into her eyes. It was dawn. The sun painted the sky with the most beautiful colors.

"Wow." Annabeth said admiring the sky.

"Yeah. Wow is right." Percy agreed. He put his arm around her and they stared at the sunrise together.
