Hi guys!

OMG! I can't believe how AWESOME you guys are! You doubled our reviews in like, a day! A HUGE thanks to everyone who reviewed, followed, or favourited! Here are all the names:

Readergirl6262: Thanks! OOC means Out Of Character. This is set after Battle of the Labyrinth, but Percy has basically forgotten about the Percabeth… incident. :) And by the way, I love the character of Riley! She'll be making an appearance very soon!

ImpulsesOfLife: Thanks! And you're welcome :)

Embers to Ashes: Thanks!

demigodforlife: Thanks! And this comment made me laugh… :)

darkmagician751: Cool! Can't wait for the demigod!

And once again, rileylana16: Thanks for being such a great follower to this story. You are AMAZHANG! (Who gets this joke? No-one? No-one… OK.)

I think that's all, but if I forgot you, remind me in the reviews so I can acknowledge all you awesome people!

Soooo… this story is set after The Lightning Thief, so Percy and Annabeth are still quite young. It's in between their quest and the end of summer.

And yay! Annabeth POV! (I find her quite hard to write, which is why it took me so long)

I think it's quite a cute chapter! Tell me what you think in the reviews!

Annabeth POV:

I was thinking about the weather.

It was a hot, humid sunny day, which is Percy's favourite. He loves all the water in the air. He was even bubblier than he usually is.

Speaking of Percy, he was bounding towards the Athena cabin, a mischievous grin plastered on his face. I groan. What does he want now, I think.

"Annabeth," he chirps in a sing-song voice, "Can we play hide and seek?"

I groan again. "Percy, that game is for babies. You're 12 years old. Come on."

"Come on and play hide and seek?"

I groan for a third time. If I play this, my reputation will deflate. If I don't, Percy will give me the baby seal face…

Darn. I just cannot resist that face.

"Whatever." I say, turning around and facing the wall. "One, two, three, four…"

I can hear Percy sprinting away. That Seaweed Brain will probably hide at the bottom of the lake. Yes. That's where he'll go.

"Ready or not, here I come!"

I start advancing towards the lake. This is a matter of timing. If I get to the lake too fast, Percy will accuse me of cheating. If I take too long, Percy will say that he had a great hiding spot, and so, he won.

Boy logic. Actually, probably Poseidon logic.

The sky rumbled.

Oops.

I reach the lake edge. Funny, there are no ripples. I was certain that Percy wouldn't have thought of calming the lake. Was Poseidon helping? Surely he wouldn't get involved in something as trivial as hide-and-seek.

I lean against a tree, surveying the lake for a tell-tale dark spot under the surface. I think I can see one…

Oof.

Something big and heavy falls out of the tree, straight onto my head. I immediately judo-flip it, pinning it down. (A/N: I'm thinking about another time she does that… MoA :P)

This… boy, I think, is wearing a hoodie covering it's face and holding balloons. Wait… what?

"Surprise?" he mutters.

"Percy?" I exclaim, shocked.

"Yeah." he mumbles. "You know, we've gone a full two weeks without anything majorly bad happening so I got balloons."

I pull him up. "That's sweet, Seaweed Brain, but it's bad luck to talk like that…" I trail off, staring into the face of a large hellhound.

We start fighting, but I couldn't help having the final word.

"I told you it's bad luck."

So what did you think? I'm not entirely sure about the ending, but it wouldn't get out of my head. Tell me what you thought in the reviews.

My Make-Your-Own Demigod is still open, but not for much longer! Thanks to Readergirl6262 for making the first entry! Your character is guaranteed to feature in a story, see a few chapters ago for instructions!

I have some questions for you guys.

Firstly, should I do a lot of holiday-themed one-shots or normal ones? I'm not from the US, so I celebrate different holidays to a lot of you. I'll do a lot for Christmas, maybe a Annabeth/Percy birthday one, an Easter one? Suggestions and requests are SUPER-WELCOMED! I LOVE doing story requests, and will almost always use an idea, and give you credit. Remember, though, that these one-shots are based on when they are BEST FRIENDS. Nothing should be a rating of anything above K plus.

Secondly, should I start a new story, maybe a clichèd 'Mortals Meet Demigods' or similar? Or should I focus on this story? Tell me in the reviews, or PM me.

FInally, would you like a multiple-shot story within this story, or should I publish a new story for it, or not do it at all? It would be on a small quest.

I love constructive criticism as well! PM or review!
