So since I'm kind of on a roll, I decided to put up the next chapter. As always, make sure to leave a comment, and enjoy!
Annabeth's POV
I was sitting in the Athena cabin going over a couple of blueprints when I got a call from Sally.
RINGGGGG
"Hello?"
"Annabeth!"
"Mrs. Jackson?"
"How many times have I told you to call me Sally?" I laughed a little.
"Sorry Sally. So, what can I do for you?"
"Well, I was wondering if you had time to take off work for next week. Percy and your friends have prom on Friday, and part of going to high school is usually looking forward to the prom at the end of the year. I just thought maybe, since you've been working so hard, maybe you should get a break for a week?"
"That's a great idea. Um, I'm pretty sure we're ahead of schedule anyways, so I may be able to squeeze in a break somewhere. Let me just check with the Olympians. I'm actually going over blueprints for the upcoming weeks as we speak."
"Oh! I didn't mean to interrupt! I'll leave you too it. Call me once you've figured stuff out, and we'll come up with a plan to surprise your friends."
"Okay! Thank you so much for calling! I'll talk soon. Bye!"
"Bye!"
After Sally hug up, I had quickly tried calling Athena through a calling system Leo built in camp before he left for school with the others. It kind of worked like an iris message with a cross between a FaceTime. It was this big fountain in the middle of the camp. All you had to do was put an offering in to the god or goddess you were trying to reach, and it activated like a FaceTime. I put in an apple from the kitchen, and IrisTimed ( A/N if you can think of a better name for this, let me know!) my mom.
"Annabeth?"
"Hey mom. I was wondering if I could take a week off to surprise my friends at school."
"Well, I am not sur-"
"Please? I already finished blueprints for the next two weeks of building, and I'm already ahead of schedule." she stood there for a moment before sighing.
"Well, the Olympians have been very grateful for all your hard work. I suppose a week off won't do much harm. I expect everything to go back in full swing immediately after you come back tough."
"Thanks, I promise everything will start back immediately."
"Good. Now I have to leave. Someone needs my guidance."
"Okay, good bye."
After that, I decided I should start packing. I packed a lot of tee-shirts and jeans, a pair of shorts. Two pairs of sneakers, my Yankees baseball cap, my knife just incase, and my toiletries.
Since I was starting high school, I had to use the Mist to enroll myself as a student.
Chiron enrolled all the kids in school in New York since Sally could take care of them, and Piper used her charmspeak to buy an apartment right next to Percy's house for the rest of them.
Once I finished, I crawled into bed, and then it hit me.
I forgot about the whole prom thing! Shoot! I hate wearing a dress, and I'm pretty sure my sense in style is just plain awful. I guess I'll just have to find something when I get there.
As I closed my eyes to sleep, I felt myself enter a dream.
"Annabeth."
I turned a round to come face to face withthe goddess of love, Aphrodite.
"Um. Aphrodite? What are you doing here?"
"Well, I heard that you don't have anything to wear for prom! And since I totally ship you and Percy soooo much, I thought about surprising you! I'll have everything ready for you on Friday afternoon! Well, I hope to see you then! Bye!"
"Wait! Aphrodite! Where am I supposed to meet you?"
"You'll figure it out soon enough! Bye!"
I woke up soon after with the sun shining through the windows of the Athena cabin.
