And here is the next Chapter of Of Accidents And Miracles (which also happens to be the most recent Chapter I have written), meaning this 'fic is officially up to date with the Word document version.

Apologies in advance for the lack of action in this Chapter, I just want there to be a couple of Chapters for Percy and Annabeth to get to know each other a little better (get your minds out of the gutters. I meant as in asking each other questions) before we get back to the fun stuff (on the other hand, if you're as eager to learn more about this AU Percy and Annabeth as I am, then you might find this satisfying anyway).

Anyway.

Review responses:

AutumnLeaves03 - Yup, Percabeth. And much more to come in future Chapters! We've got a long way still to go with this story, and there's a lot of fun to be had with Percy and Annabeth's relationship. It's only going to get better from here (at least, that's the aim). Anyway, enjoy Chapter 7!

michaelh9 - Alright, Guardians it is. That means I can finally give an official time frame this 'fic is set. September 2014.

Disclaimer - I would never have killed off Charles Beckendorf. Or Silena. Guess that's why I don't own them.

-Percy Jackson-

"So"

I sank into the wooden chair across the table from the blonde-haired woman who also just so happened to be my new girlfriend, examining her calmly as I reached for one of the coffee cups that sat on the table between us, taking a quick sip before setting it back down. She tilted her head slightly to the side, her grey eyes gleaming as she watched me in return, and a warm smile played across her features. Gods, she was beautiful. Honestly, I wasn't sure if I'd ever get tired of watching her. "So?" she parroted, her eyes twinkling.

I leaned forward. "Tell me about yourself, Annabeth".

"I thought we did this already. Remember the first discussion we had, two days ago?"

I paused thoughtfully. I knew that she was talking about the conversation we had in the coffee shop, but that wasn't going to stop me from pretending to be confused. "Funny, I remember the first conversation we had vividly, and at no point did you tell me about yourself. In fact, all that happened was you apologizing, me helping you to your feet, both of us introducing ourselves, and then me asking if you wanted to join me for a coffee. But you didn't tell me a single thing about yourself, apart from your name and the fact that you had an ex-boyfriend".

She laughed gently. "I meant our first real conversation. The one in the coffee shop".

"I know you did. And yes, we did talk about ourselves, but we didn't talk about much except our history. I want to know more about you, what you like, what you dislike. That sort of thing. And I'm pretty sure that you want to know about my likes and dislikes as well"

Annabeth paused thoughtfully, taking a sip of her own coffee, and then nodded. "In that case, how about we play a game of 20 Questions? We can take turns to ask questions until we're completely satisfied".

"Sounds good. Ladies first".

She smiled slightly. "Always a gentleman, huh? Fine. Favorite color?"

"Grey or silver, though blue is close behind those two. And what about yours?"

"Either blue or a deep emerald green".

She nodded at me, silently acknowledging that it was my turn to ask a question. "Favorite movie or tv show?"

"My favorite movie... Wow, that's a hard question, but I'd have to say Interstellar. My favorite tv show is Grand Designs, just because of how interestingly-designed the buildings are, though I also enjoy watching Sherlock and Elementary. Your turn".

"My favorite movie is James Cameron's Avatar. Grover and I used to watch it all the time in college. I'm also partial to the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly Avengers. As for my favorite tv show, well, that would have to be Arrow".

My blonde-haired girlfriend nodded, taking another sip of her coffee. "Alright. Least favorite musical genre?"

"Hip-hop. Not sure why exactly, I've just never been a fan of it" I answered.

"Interesting. I can't stand heavy metal, personally. It gives me a headache. It always has".

I paused for a second, lifting my coffee cup to my mouth as I considered both her answer and my next question. "Favorite actor or actress?"

Annabeth didn't hesitate for even a second before responding. "Stana Katic".

"Interesting. David Boreanz".

"Ah. That's the guy who played that vampire detective, right?"

I nodded. So she knew of Angel. That was interesting."That's right. He also played the main FBI agent in Bones".

"Indeed he did. Alright, favorite videogame?"

I smiled slightly, already knowing exactly what to say in reply. "The Elder Scrolls series. More specifically, Skyrim. What about you?"

Annabeth smiled slightly. "The Sims, actually. Especially The Sims 3. Like I said before, I work in architecture, and creating virtual houses is good practice for designing them in real life".

Thinking about what she had said, I nodded. It made sense. "Alright, my turn again then. If you could have any one thing in your life, what would that one thing be and why?"

Annabeth paused thoughtfully. "Honestly? I'd want to have the chance to spend more time with my dad. Ever since I moved here full time, I haven't really seen him much. What about you?"

"A family, actually. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy living with Grover, I really do, and I wouldn't give up living with him for a long time. It's just that... sometimes I can't help but wonder what it would be like to be married. Or to have kids. You don't think that's weird, do you?"

My blonde-haired girlfriend smiled softly at me. "Actually, I think it's kind of cute. And honestly, it makes a refreshing change. Most guys are so focused on their careers that they don't have time for thinking about that kind of thing, so it's nice to know that there's still exceptions to that rule".

"Well, I'm glad to hear it. Anyway, Miss Chase, I do believe it's your turn to ask the next question?"

"Right. What's your favorite book or book series? Mine's Ender's Game, by the way".

"Gods, that was a fantastic movie. Anyway, not that I actually get much time to read thanks to my job, but I'd have to say the Hatchet series by Gary Paulsen. Alright, next question... If you had three wishes, what would you use them for?"

Annabeth paused thoughtfully. "Well, that is a very good question. I'm assuming the rules are the same as those of the genie Robin Williams played in Aladdin: That you can't kill people, can't bring people back from the dead, can't make people fall in love with you, and you can't wish for more wishes"

"Well, technically, the genie in Aladdin could actually bring people back from the dead, he just didn't like to do so..."

Annabeth chuckled, waving her hand in a jokingly dismissive fashion. "Semantics. Firstly, I'd wish to repair my relationship with my family. Secondly, I'd wish to know why Thalia thought that sleeping with Luke was a good idea. And thirdly, I'd wish to have the money to travel the world. Ever since I became interested in architecture, I've wanted to see the Pantheon in Athens and the Coliseum in Rome, as well as a lot of other places. What about you?"

"My first wish would be... I'd wish that my mom would stay happy. Secondly, that more of my friends would actually take me up on my offer of a free tour at the aquarium. And thirdly... I'd wish for the Genie's freedom".

So there we go. Read, Review, enjoy.

More questions will be asked, and answered, in the next Chapter, so if you have any questions you'd like them to ask each other (nothing too insane though please), PM them to me and I'll see what I can do.

See you next time!
