As usual, hope you enjoy, and don't forget to review! :)

Percy's POV

I woke up to the sun shinning through my window. I turned over in the bed to look at my alarm clock. 9:00. I wonder what Annabeth is doing right now. I hadn't talked to her in a month. Every time we tried to call or iris message, it was cut short because either my mom would call for me, or the construction team would need her. My phone went off, and I picked it up to look at the messages.

I sighed and got out of bed. The smell of pancakes wafted through my room, and I was immediately out the bedroom door.

When I walked into the kitchen, Jason was already sitting at the table with a thick stack of pancakes in front of him. I walked to my seat and sat down, just as my mom came over with a big stack of blue pancakes and a blue coke.

"Thanks mom."

"No problem. Percy? Will you do me a favor and get some errands today?"

"Sure. I'll get them after I go with Jason and Piper."

"That's perfect."

I immediately dug into the pancakes. My mom set down a list of stuff I needed to get, and I looked it over. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and a bunch of other essentials were on the list. Why do we need all this stuff?

"Mom? Why do we need this stuff? I'm pretty sure we have all this."

"I know, just wanted to stock up just incase."

"Oh. Okay."

When I finished, I went back to my room to get ready. "You have twenty minutes Percy!" Jason shouted through the door. I quickly put on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, slipped on my shoes, and put riptide in my pocket just incase. I quickly headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Once I finished, I grabbed my car keys and wallet. Jason was standing in front of the door waiting for me.

"Ready?" he said.

"Yup," I replied and opened the door to the apartment.

I ran over to the other side of the apartment, and knocked on the door. Piper opened it, and closed it behind her.

"So, ready to go shopping?" she smiled at me. I smirked and rolled my eyes.

"I know you hate this as much as I do, don't try and deny it." She just laughed and nodded in agreement.

We pulled into the mall, and jumped out of the car. I was already regretting this.

Annabeth's POV

I told the taxi where to take me, and we were off.

Percy's POV

"What about this one?" Piper held up a tie in front of me. It was a deep red, and to tell you the truth? I hated it."Eh. I don't really like that color." Me, Jason, and Piper had been in the tuxedo store for over an hour. Piper had found a dress really quick, so we headed over to get me and Jason tuxedos. Jason was still trying on tuxes, and since I already got one, I needed a tie."What about this one?" Piper held up a silver tie. It reminded me of Annabeth. Geez... even this tie is making me depressed. What did I ever do to you tie? What did I ever do? "Eh. Add it to a pile." My pile consisted of six ties and three bows. All the different shades of grey or blue. I think Piper had picked up on my theme. She gave me a guilty look.

"Thinking about Annabeth huh?"

"Maybe a little."

"Sorry she isn't here."

"It's not your fault. It's an honor to get to work on Olympus. I'm proud for her."Piper smiled at me.

"Well, I'd like to find a tie before the Prom, so hurry up!" I sighed and followed behind her as me went searching for ties of all shades of blues and silvers.

Annabeth's POV

I just texted Sally that I was arriving at the apartment when I got a call from Hazel.

"Hello?"

"Annabeth!"

"Hey Hazel! What's up?"

"Sally told me to tell you to let yourself in the house. She went out to buy groceries. I'll be over in a couple of minutes. I'm just trying to finish up something, and I'll come and help you."

"Thanks so much Hazel."

"No problem. I can't believe you're actually here!"

"I know me too. I'm really excited."

"Well, I better go. I'm coming in a bit, just let yourself in."

"Okay. Thanks again Hazel. Bye"

"Bye."

The only reason Hazel knew about me was because she had accidentally walked in the house while Sally was making that phone call to me. Ever since then, Hazel has really helped with keeping the secret.

I told the driver to let me off here. I grabbed my suitcase and backpack, then handed the driver some money but he quickly rejected it.

"No need m'am. You've done enough for me already."

"Um..." I gave him confused look. He smiled really big.

"I know you're a daughter of Athena." my hand quickly went to my belt where my mini dagger was.

"I'm not going to hurt you, I just wanted to say thank you."

"For what?"

"Last year was my last year at Camp Half-Blood. Because of you and your friends, I can now live a normal life. So, thank you."

"Oh. Well you're welcome. Thanks for the ride then."

"No problem. Have a good day." the man sped away, leaving me in shock. I hadn't realized lots of kids had left camp to lead normal lives... Huh. I walked up to the apartment, and turned the knob. Sure enough, it was unlocked. I walked in, and was flooded with memories. This is going to be an interesting week.

Percy's POV

"Percy, I can't believe we spent THREE WHOLE hours on you at the stupid tuxedo store!" Jason had been talking about it from the time we came out of the store, got in the car, drove to get something to eat, and were now sitting in the car, getting ready to go get the errands my mom wanted. We drove into the Walmart parking lot, and jumped out of the car.

"Well, I wouldn't have even had to go, If someone didn't make me."

"So now it's my fault that you couldn't make a decision?"

"Yup...pretty much." Jason rolled his eyes.

"Whatever."

I opened the door for them, then took out the list. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, lotion, bath towels, toilet paper, some cleaning supplies, and a couple of groceries. I still don't get why I have to get all this stuff. We walked into Walmart, then split apart so we could get out faster. As we were walking back to the car, my phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Percy?"

"Yeah mom?"

"I need you to stay at Piper's apartment tonight."

"Um, why?"

"Well, I need to get some cleaning done, and I need to repaint the walls and such. I just don't want you to accidentally bump into a wall or something and then I have to re do it."

What the heck?! That doesn't even make sense! "Um, Okay. Let me get me drop this stuff off, and get some stuff."

"No need. I already packed everything and took the rest over to Piper's. I also got Jason's stuff too."

"Alright, well I leave the groceries in front of the door then. Bye."

"Bye."

After I hung up, I told Jason and Piper what had just happened. They thought it was strange too, but didn't argue. Once we got home, I grabbed the bags out of the car, and put them in front of the door, then walked into Piper's apartment. Sure enough, mom had put my stuff and Jason's stuff on the counter. "Well, I'm getting tired. I'm going to bed," I said as I grabbed my bag and headed to the guest room for a shower.

Once I had finished, I brushed my teeth, and quickly got in bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out.

Annabeth's POV (go back an hour or so...)

As I walked into the apartment, I heard someone run up beside me. I turned to look at an out of breath Hazel.

"Hazel!"

"Annabeth!" she gave me a big hug.

"I can't believe you're here!"

"Yeah. Me either."

"Need any help with your stuff?"

"Um. Yeah! Sure!"

Me and Hazel carried my stuff to the best room, and grabbed the groceries that were sitting outside. Sally came in soon after, and we talked for a while. Finally, I decided I was really tired, so I told them I'd see them tomorrow, and headed to my room.

I quickly too a shower, got dressed, and climbed into bed. I pulled out To Kill A Mockingbird, and read for 30 minutes. Once I felt my eyes starting to close, I decided to go to sleep. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was fast asleep.
