Moving on!

Sorry this chapter took so long, but I can honestly say that it wasn't my fault. Well I guess that borrowing someone's car without permission, kind of makes it my fault, but that gives you no reason to take away my LAPTOP DAD!

God, I'm a mess .

Whatever, enjoy the chapter!

Thanks for all the review/favorites/follows 3 and enjoy the chapter!

I own nothing :)

Stage 4-PART 1-Theme Parks(Thursday)

Annabeth POV

"You rented out a theme park?" I ask incredulously as Piper leads me toward the set of the next photo shoot. Evidently it's a freaking theme park.

It's one of those days, when the sun is glaring down at you but your freezing to death and you're not exactly sure what you should wear because it might get warmer or it might get colder. The entrance of the theme park is roped off but selected people walk around on the inside, playing games and getting in line for the rides.

"Just for a few hours," Piper says shrugging as we duck under the rope and begin across the park.

"Right," I say raising an eyebrow at her, "because that's normal?"

Piper huffs and we arrive at a covered area, set up underneath it are those infamous vanity tables, racks of clothes and changing booth. Oh, and Percy.

He sits in one of the chairs on his phone, looking smoldering in just a pair of dark jeans and a plaid button down.

"Loser," I mutter as I pass and he looks up. Piper gives me a sly look then head off towards the racks of clothes for my outfit.

"Hey baby," he says, ignoring my comment and treating me with one of his grins.

I settle in the chair next to him and narrow my eyes at him, "Would you stop calling me that?" I ask.

"Nah, you're too much fun," he answers winking at me. I close my eyes, over this entire conversation and pull out my headphones. I fish around my bag for my iPod. I jack up the volume, shut my eyes, and lean back in my seat.

I don't know around when Piper wakes me up, maybe thirty minutes later, but when I glance into the mirror I notice two things. One; Piper's focused mainly on my hair which is long, tinted pink, with large wavy curls. Two; Percy's gone.

"Nice hair," I say dragging my hand though it.

"Thanks," Pipers says fluffing it a little then draws a hand through my scalp. "Run your hands though it a lot. I made it messy on purpose; it will match your casual clothes. Your hair's going to get a little windblown from the rides, so why bother with braids or pins?"

Piper offers me a pile of clothes, "Just wear your shoes with this." She says and leads me towards the changing booth.

I pull the curtains closed and examine the clothes, just a pair of pre-ripped jeans and oversized plaid button down. (A/N: Complete outfit link on my profile, marked STAGE 4)

When I yank the curtains back I find Percy's already there talking to Thalia wearing a dark pair of jeans and a light blue button down. I watch as he inserts a piece of equipment into his ear.

"What's that?" I ask, walking up to both of them. Thalia turns to and hands me a piece similar to the one in Percy's ear.

"It's a com, so I can talk you though the date," Thalia says. I scoff then ask,

"Wouldn't stalking us be enough?"

"No," Thalia says looking at me as if I'm stupid, "How am I going to talk to you on the rides?"

"Whatever," I sigh and slide the piece in.

"Here," Piper says inserting herself into the conversation, "Are your props." She hands me a messenger bag and hands Percy an official looking camera. He takes it and pulls the loop over his head.

"What's that for?" I ask tugging on the loop.

"Percy's going to taking picture of kids and stuff; you know the usual, bubbles and rainbows." Thalia says examining her nails, "armature." She mutters.

I raise an eyebrow, "So you're going to take pictures off us…taking pictures?"

"Shut up," Thalia says, "It's going to make Percy look really hot."

"Not-" Percy interrupts, "That I need help doing that."

"No," I snap, "I think Thalia meant intelligent."

Percy laughs.

"What?" I demand.

"You know I find it really hot when you dish it," Percy smirks.

"Dish what? Your ass back to you?" I retort. Percy laughs again, infuriating me even more.

"Alllright!" Piper says interrupting our spat, "Let's begin. Remember Percy, the button on the top-"

"Is the one the turns it on," Percy recites then says thoughtfully, "I wonder if girls have one of those buttons."

I narrow my eyes at him, "What the actual fuck?"

"Let's begin," Thalia says grabbing her camera.

Can you hear me? I hear Thalia's voice though the com. Both Percy and I wince.

"I little too well," I say. Thalia fiddles with the microphone.

Better?

"Definitely," Percy agrees.

Alright then, step one; hold hands. Thalia instructs.

Without any hesitation, Percy grabs my hand, sending warm ripples of energy up my arm. I shift uncomfortable and wait for Thalia's next set of instructions.

Wait, give me a sec, I got to go get an extra battery pack. Don't move.

I'm painfully aware of close Percy is right now, he hums softly to himself. I don't know exactly what he's jamming to but it sound suspiciously like Sexy Back. Unable to look anywhere else, I glance down at our entwined hands and notice something.

"Hey," I say lifting up our intertwined hands, "Are you wearing a ring? Cause I never really pegged you as the type to wear rings." I examine his hand closely.

Then for the first time in the history of the world, Percy Jackson, coughs embarrassedly. Ca-rae-zy. I smirk.

"Yea," he says finally, "It's my family ring." He explains. I study the ring, a simple thin silver band with a pattern of waves etched out on the surface.

"It's pretty," I say after short silence.

I look up at Percy's face and raised eyebrow.

"You think its pretty?" he asks sounding disbelieving and insulted at the same time.

"Fine," I say sarcastically, "It's the hottest damn ring that I've ever seen in my life, how ever do you keep from melting?"

"Aw," Percy says proudly, "Thanks, baby."

Thalia cuts me off before I can say anything around the lines off I'm going to shove that freaking ring up your ass.

Begin towards the Ferris wheel. Just act normal, you guys are such a good looking couple. How hard could it be?

Really hard, I always have Thalia hissing instructions at me and I'm three seconds away from yanking the damn piece of plastic out of my ear and smashing it on the ground. I can feel Percy wants to do the same thing.

"Give it to me," Percy holds out a hand. I stare into his palm.

"Give you what?" I ask.

"Your virginity," Percy says sarcastically, "No you dirty girl, I mean your com."

I pull the damned thing out of my ear and hand it to him. He takes his out too then shoves it into his pocket.

"What are you-?" I begin.

"Look," Percy says stopping, causing me to stop. He turns to me, "I came here to have fun with you, so just forget about the damn photo shoot for a minute and ride the rollercoaster with me."

I blink then nod slowly. "Okay. I say with a small smile. Maybe this idiot isn't as much of an ignorant asshole as I thought he was.

We actually never get to ride the rollercoaster because after five minutes of darts, Thalia finds us and ends our streak of rebellion.

"Seriously guys!" She screams can you guys just walk through the crowd and look super coupley for just a second?"

I roll my eyes and toss another dart. I hit another blue balloon. Dammit, Percy's winning.

"In a sec, Thalia," Percy says glancing up from the dart board, "I'm winning." He hits another 3 pointer and I groan.

"For now," I say hit a white balloon. I look up at the score board. White=6 points. "Ha!" I say.

"Whatever," Percy says and throws his last dart. It hits a purple balloon, "What the heck does purple mean?" he asks skims the score board. Purple=9 points. Damnit.

"You win," I mutter.

"As usual," Percy agrees, "Nice try baby."

Thalia stares at us, "Are you actually getting along?" she asks finally.

"No," I answer honestly accepting my prize, a pair of star shaped sunglasses. "This is stupid." I say staring at it.

"Mine are cooler," He says showing me a pair of neon sunglasses.

"Whatever," I brush it off.

"GUYS!" Thalia yells, "Remember the whole couple thing?" I roll my eyes and turn to look at her.

"Fine," I say.

Percy drapes an arm over my shoulder, instincts tells me to tell me interlace my fingers with his and he chuckles into my ear as we begin down the street.

"Ooh, Annabeth's getting bold." He murmurs. I scoff and slide on my star sunglasses.

"Who is this Annabeth you speak off? My name is Jessica, from San-Francisco. Percy laughs.

"Excellent, we have code names? My name shall be Richard von Hughleburg." Percy says grinning down at me.

I burst out laughing for the first time today. "You know Richard is another way if saying-"

"Dick?" Percy asks sliding on his sunglasses and pulling me closer to him, "I know."

We walk the entire length of the park three times, each time in different positions. The first one with Percy's arm around my shoulder, the second time with his hand curved around my waist, and the last time with our hands laced together. The entire time, I can hear Percy snickering to himself. I accidently slam my heel down on his toes.

"Oww," Percy complains gritting his teeth.

"Oops," I turn and look up at him, "I am so sorry," I say though a smile. I look away and roll my eyes.

"Yayyyy," Piper sings, literally skipping in our direction. She skids to a stop in front of us. "Thalia says it's dark enough to do the Ferris wheel scene!"

"Dark?" I repeat and glance up at the sky. The sun was already beginning its descent and the park had begun to empty out, I surprised I hadn't notice the number people decreasing since I had walk the damn park three times. Stupid Percy, distracting me.

"Yes, Annabeth, dark, LIKE YOUR SOUL," Percy bursts suddenly. I turn to him, WTF plainly written on my face. He doubles over in laughter.

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean that. It just came to me!" He pants. I roll my eyes in irritation.

"Just shut up Percy," I command. Piper watches us in amusement.

"What happened to playing nice?" She asks curiously. I scoff.

"We were never playing nice," I say, glancing at Percy, "We just teamed up on Thalia."

"Sure," Piper says knowingly, "Whatever you say Annabeth," I narrow my eyes at her.

"What are you saying?" I question her. She shakes her head and begins towards the large Ferris wheel that sticks out in the distance.

"Come on," she calls over her shoulder, "The Ferris wheel it this way."

I let out a breath then start towards Piper.

"Question," Percy says from beside me, "Are you going to let go of my hand now?" I freeze, looking down at our interlaced hands, then snatch mine away.

"Shut up," I glare at him stalking towards the Ferris wheel. "I forgot." I mutter as he catches up to me.

"Me too, baby" Percy confesses, "…but, I thought it was pretty hot." I exhale a mouthful of air.

"Whatever, Percy,"

A/N: Didya like? Oh and I wanted to clear something up: the title of my story is the Stages of Dating. Percy and Annabeth go though the stages of dating, but there is no set stages :) hope that helped.

And I know you guys couldn't care less but: EXO SHOWTIME! . *squeals loudly* THEY ARE SO AMAZING! WAAAAAAAAAH! Too bad they're like an ocean away -_-
