16 reviews! Whoopee! Thanks you guys; almost to 50! Keep reviewing!

So, I'm sorry I haven't updated like I promised (ALMOST TWO MONTHS!). I'm going to Europe again and my mom been hogged the laptop that I use to buy the plane tickets for a week and that lead to a writer's block for me. Anyway, thanks to 123 and ranzkiss for being my 30th and 40th reviews. Also, sorry again that it's short and useless, but it's been killing me to get this chapter out and the answer why will be all the way in the bottom.

"Perce, we have company. Just… be prepared." Nico said as he looked at the older boy with worry.

"What're you-?"

"Percy…" someone said.

He turned around and his heart stopped at the sight of the one person he didn't expect to see in a thousand years.

"Hey, seaweed brain…"

"Well, well, well… isn't it the coward son of-" Seth said as he got interrupted by Nico.

"How about you shut up?" he shouted.

"Wait," somebody said. "I know you."

They all turned around to see Percy with a confused face as he walked closer to the blonde girl. Her heart skipped a beat when they were in a very close proximity to each other.

"You're Annabeth, right?" the girl frowned as he said the words.

"Yeah…" she put a hand on his face causing his cheek to hurt as a cut was on it, but he ignored it. "Percy, you don't remember me?"

Seth was seeing red when he saw that his girlfriend was touching the punk who broke his arms all those years ago, so he decided to jump in. "Hey douche bag, why don't you go back to where you came from?"

"Why don't you put a sack in your mouth and suck on it, Sethie Poo?" Leo smirked in satisfaction as he crossed his arms.

Before Seth went to punch the kid on the nose, Jason blocked him between himself and Leo. Even if he was his half-brother, he hated the guy with a passion. "Jason?" he looked at the Puerto Rican girl next to the son of Poseidon.

"Um… Hi?" he said as he rubbed his neck, looking at the girl.

"Don't tell me this is some weird reunion thing… oh! Does this mean I get to see my pet hamster?" said by someone that was no doubt Leo, only to be smacked on the arm by Piper. "Dang it woman!"

"We need to talk later; let's go shoeless boy and friends." She said ignoring the Latino. Percy raised an eyebrow at her; looking down at his feet was a foot missing a shoe, widening his eyes.

"Probably from the douchebag." He thought, shaking his head.

"Where are we going?" Reyna questioned. She didn't trust these new people, with the exception of Jason.

"We set out a camp a couple miles from here; you didn't think we rode out for a whole day just to stay here for a few minutes, did you?" Jason answered, making her blush a light pink tint. "We'll be there before sundown, so it won't be long."

"Wait," Seth spoke. "How do you know we could trust them? We come here and see people we've never seen before, including that Jackson twerp, and take them like we trust them already."

Jason sighed and rubbed his temples before he raised his hand and made a loud smack to his half-brother's head. "Can you just shut up for, I don't know, a whole freaking hour! A whole day at best!" Piper narrowed her eyes at him for his childish behavior and calmed down with a huff. "Rachel told us about them, remember? Especially with shoeless boy there."

"Um, my name is Percy, not shoeless boy and certainly not 'that Jackson twerp'." The son of Poseidon retorted. "Let's just go to the camp now and we'll talk about what we can do tomorrow, before the sets."

The group nodded and quickly began to make their journey away from the destroyed skywalk.

As they got to the small camp area, they met a faun, or a satyr from what he said, that was a foot smaller than Percy. He was going to chuckle until he saw the mean stink eye the satyr, Coach Hedge, was giving when Leo did something. He was small, but a little bit scary and hard headed.

In the area were tents around a campfire, enough for all of them to rest in. "We already have our tents so you guys can use what we have left." Jason said. "Campfire will be up soon; moon's coming down already."

An hour later, the fire was lit and everyone surrounded it as they sat on wood. The green eyed boy stared at Jason and Reyna as they were talking to each other. He raised a brow when he saw that Reyna scooted closer to him and kissed his cheek. Jason eyes widened and cleared his throat for everyone's attention, avoiding Piper in case she saw anything.

"So, we assume you guys have been told about the new prophecy."

"Yeah," The son of Hades said. "Seven half-bloods will answer the call. Coincidence that there are seven of us here?"

Piper nodded and said, "Then we're in it for sure. Sad to say that one will be keeping a promise till the end."

They all stayed quiet when the daughter of Aphrodite stopped talking, feeling the heat course through their cold bodies. It was interrupted as the Latino yawned loudly. "Yeah, well, it was nice to meet you guys and all, but I'm really tired. Fire boy's got a lot to do tomorrow anyway" Leo said. He stood up and stretched as he began to walk away from the group and went into one of the tents.

Reyna felt drowsy as she began to fall asleep as well. Jason jumped as her head fell onto his shoulder, though it didn't wake her up. He looked at her and saw her face was more peaceful than he saw it before at the skywalk. The blonde boy lightly smiled, oblivious to the two people that were staring at the pair.

Piper sighed and got up to sit next to Percy, leaning on him as he did the same. "So how's it going?" she randomly asked.

"Good, I guess." The green eyed boy responded. He noticed her gloominess plastered on her face as she stared at the burning fire. "You okay?" she shrugged and leaned forward as she rested her head on the palm of her hand.

"It's nothing really; just tired since we traveled here for a long time." She half lied.

"How did you get here anyway?" he questioned as he finally thought about the topic. The kaleidoscope eyed girl sat back up and looked at him as she smirked.

"You'll find out soon, Jackson." The girl said as she stood up and stretched her back, hearing a small crack. "I'll see you in the morning and we'll hopefully know what's going to happen later." With that, she walked away to her own tent.

From a different direction, Seth's bored face looked up at his somewhat girlfriend who stood up from her seat and walked over to the son of Poseidon. "Hey Perce." Annabeth said.

"Hi…" he awkwardly replied. Percy sighed as he rubbed his face and looked at the female blonde, startling her as his intense bright green eyes stared holes into hers with curiosity. "Do we know each other? I feel like we have and it's been bothering me on the way here."

Her eyes widened and looked away from his face.

"Look," the black haired boy said. "you don't have to answer it yet, but it's something I need to know, alright?" she reluctantly nodded and a small smile was soon on his face. "It's almost midnight; we should sleep now."

"You go ahead. I have a boyfriend to take care of first." Annabeth pointed to the boy who's eyes were closing and head was falling every time he lifted it back up. "Night."

Percy got up and waved to her without looking back as he walked away. All of a sudden, his body felt heavy and his eyelids were falling down to a point where he couldn't force them open.

Just as Annabeth was walking towards the sleepy son of Zeus, she heard a thump behind her. Holding the hilt of her dagger with caution, she turned around and gasped as she saw the son of Poseidon lying down on the forest floor.

"Percy!"

Scrumble: I do the same thing when it comes to canon pairs. Whenever I see a canon, I sometimes end up not liking them for some random reason and go for a non-canon.

randoman: nice to know that I did and I don't think that I write like Rick, though that's quite the compliment, thank you very much. But, I think it goes towards Anaklumos14 with his awesomeness in writing. You guys should check out his stories if you haven't already, and you'll know what I mean ;)

So since I'm close to 50 reviews, I'll do 10 facts about me if you want or something else that you guys would like.

Story's Plot Question: since I hate Leo being a seventh wheel (before HoH), who do you want him to be with? This includes Calypso and Mary Ann, by the way.

NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED! question: Since I'm the biggest dork when it comes to some stuff, I thought 'hey, why don't I write something with Percy being a nerd and a girl (any girl in the books) be the most wanted girl (popular)?' So I wanted to know if you guys want to see something like that since I have the feels to it and already know what I kind of have to write. Plus, I think I have a better grasp on AUs since they don't have a lot of fighting scenes. Let me know!
