"Wake up Annabeth" I siad. She fell asleep in the cab agian. Must have been all the food we ate. "We are here." Her eyes fluttered open. Gotta love those big stormy grey eyes. "Where are we?" She said in her tired voice. "We are at the zoo!" Iresponded
/happily. A big smile spread acrossher face. She had those cute little dimples that I could never ignore. "Really! Didn't they just open it yesterday!" "Yeah I got us VIP tickets to see and pet the animals!"

" I love you Pery Jackson!" She squealed and rapped her arms around me. We got out of the cab and Annabeth rushed towards the gates to the zoo. I followed behind her quickly. This was going to be exciting. " Hello I need to see your tickets" the odd lookingman
/at the ticket booth stared at my Annabeth with thirsty eyes. "Here are the VIP passes for me and my girlfriend of seven years who is not available ever. " I responded. Annabeth glared at my while the saddened man let us through.

It was almost empty in the zoo. VIP passes where pretty exspensive so there where not many people there." We get to ride Go Peds too!" I turned and said to Annabeth who was in awww as the animals around her where all awake and walking towards the gate.
/We where created by our tour guide. She was a young woman with short short pink hair. " hello Percy and Annabeth! I'll be your VIP tour guidetoday. You guys will have the amazing opportunity to hang out with some of our most friendly animals.

First we are going to take both of you to meet Willy the bear!"

"Wow! I'm so excited!" Annabeth clicked the start on her Go Ped and followed our tour guide. I quickly followed behind her.

After a while of enjoying the breeze and the speed of the Go Peds we arrived at Willy the bears enclosure. "This is Willy" thetour guide explained. He's our very own baby black bear. He was separated from his parents at birth. " "awwwhes so adorable."
/Annabeth siad picking the small bear up. He cryed but soon serrated as Annabeth rubbed his tummy. "He's super cute." I siad coming up behind Annabeth and rubbing the bear. Annabeth turned and looked at me and smiled. "This is the best birthday present
/ever!" Annabeth said.

After Willy, we visited Manny the koala, Sammy the kangaroo, Jude the tiger, Suzy the sloth, and Buckchow the horse with whom I had a very interesting conversation with. Annabeth cofounder it hilarious and the tour guide was completely freaked out.

Out last animal was a peacock. Annabeths favorite animal. It just so happened that the feathers from him had all shed. Annabeth got to have one because it was her birthday. She would stop talking about it.

By the time we left the zoo it was about five o'clock. Annabeth was exhaustedand ready for some food. Out dinner was at six so it with perfect with New York Citytraffic. We headed to the limo I had gotten for us and settleddown in the

comfortable seats. We where headed to Miloinius, the most fancy place I have ever seen. I had been saving up for this dinner for over a year. But then again it was a special night. A lot more was going to happen then just annabeths birthday. But that
/had to remain a secret for now.
