Thank YOU for 100 + FAVORITES! And of course, reviewing! :DDDDDDD!
THE FAKES IN GOODE AND
ANNABETH CHASE
SUMMARY: my version of 'Annabeth goes to Goode'. Annabeth goes to Goode because her step-mother got a temporary promotion and decided to tag along so she can be w/Percy. When she got there, she found out that Percy is the hottest most popular guy there. She encounters girls who are drooling for her boyfriend, and the worst is …. THEY. ARE. FAKES!
Chapter 20
ANNABETH'S P.O.V.
I sighed. The past days had been very quick. Though, as much as I loved school, I won't complain about it. Today was Percy and mine's date, anyway. I decided to wear something formal, but not to formal, because I hate those tight dresses.
I laid my dress on my bed, together with my jean jacket. And I put my black lacy flats on the floor, beside my bed. It was still 4:30 and I'm pretty sure Percy'll pick me up around 6:00 or 5:30.
I went down stairs to get any light snack I could find, when my phone rang. I turned my head to look left and right, trying to remember where I put my phone. I decided to just follow my sense of hearing. It was at the direction of the living room, but before I could go there, I bumped into Helen.
"Ommph-" Helen said when we bumped into each other. "Oh, Annabeth! You need something?" I was going to ask if she knows where my phone was, when I noticed she was holding it up for me to look. I let out a relief laugh and snatched the phone from her.
"Thanks.." I sighed as I quickly answered my call.
"No problem." I heard Helen say. Then she shuffled upstairs to her room.
"Hello?" I asked the caller, which was my Seaweed Brain.
"Hey, Wise Girl!" his cheery voice came said, making me smile.
"Hey, Percy." I replied. "So, why'd yah called?"
"Well, umm, I just thought you'd want to know that I'll pick you up around six." He said. I chuckled.
"Do you really think that I wouldn't know that?" I teased.
"Hey! At least I told you!" he defended. "Shouldn't you be thankful for thinking wisely and ahead?! Shouldn't you be happy for your little Seaweed Brain?!" I had to hold a laugh at that. He thinks telling the obvious time is thinking wisely?! Hahahaha!
"Hmmpphh.." I heard him huff through the phone. I chuckled as I imagined he was pouting, cutely.
"Aawww… that's too bad, Seaweed Brain. I'm sorry. What do you want me to do so I can make it better?" I ask with baby-ish voice.
"Hhmm…I don't know." He said. I could imagine him smiling. "I guess, the only thing you could do to make it better is simply just to keep your promise." I frowned.
What the Hades is he talking about?
"Ummm…I'm sorry?" I said. "But what promise?" I asked. At the other end of the line, I could hear him laugh. I frowned, scrunching my eyebrows together.
"You forgot haven't you?" he said err…asked.
"Percyyyyy!..." I whined. "Just tell me!"
"Haha! Not a chance, wise girl." He said.
"Please..?..." I pouted, using the voice that I can't quite describe, but I'm sure Percy can't resist it when I use that voice. There was a long pause at the other end of the line.
"You know, that doesn't work as well as real life face to face, right?" he said, when he finally answered. I pouted.
"Fin-" I started to say, but Percy cut me off.
"Wait." He said. I was going to ask why, but stopped when I heard the familiar voice of his mother, shouting at him.
"Percy! I need your help with the laundry!" she said.
"Yeah, mom! Wait, I'm coming!" Percy shouted back. I smiled. Such a mama's boy… "Hey, Annabeth, I-"
"-need to go help your mom with the laundry?" I said, cutting him off. He chuckled, nervously.
"Hehe, yeah.. You heard that?" he said. This time it was my time to laugh.
"You were probably shouting!" I said. "Of course, I heard that!"
"So, anyway. I'll pick you up around six, kay, Wise Girl?" he said. "Love you."
"Love you, too. Bye." I said, smiling.
"Bye." He said. And then the line went dead.

When it was already 5:42, I was all dressed and ready for our date. My dress was blue. It was one of my favorites. Its color wasn't just a regular blue; it was dark oceanic blue. Something like the ocean. I wore my jean jacket over it and I also wore the necklace I wore when Percy and I went to Paris as a reward from Hermes. The gray pearls.
At the mention of the gray pearls, my mind went back to our first month anniversary. I smiled remembering the memory of how Hermes came to our picnic and how everything turned from a picnic date to a quest to a very surprising and romantic date. Not to mention in Paris in all places!
I smiled as I remembered what happened and the sweet words we said.
"This is . . . incredible." I said, getting over my shock.
"Only the best for you," he said. "And you thought I forgot." I smiled.
"You did forget, Seaweed Brain." I said. "Nice save, though."
"I have my moments."
"You certainly do." I said as I reached across the table to take his hand. "Any idea why Hermes acted so nervous? I got the feeling something bad was happening on Olympus." I said/asked, worried. But at least that's over now.
He shook his head then smiled.
"Let's just enjoy tonight," he said. "Hermes will be teleporting us back at midnight."
I nodded. "Time for a walk along the river," I suggested. "And Percy . . . feel free to start planning our two-month anniversary."
"Oh, gods." he said, panicking a bit, but I knew he was really happy. Of course, I was, too. Very happy. In fact I thought I was the happiest girl alive.
"How about that walk?" he said, putting a black credit card on the table. He smiled at me. "I want to explore Paris with a beautiful girl."
I smiled, blushing as he stood up. He pulled out his hand for me, raising an eyebrow with the smirk I always loved plastered on his voice. I nodded, taking his hand.
Everything after that was all a blur. Except one, though. It happened just before the clock struck at midnight.
I clearly remembered Percy leaning in and capturing my lips as we heard faint explosions of fireworks at the parade that was happening at the front of the Eifel Tower that just happened to be the view of the river.
I remembered that it was perfect.
"-beth! Annabeth, I'm coming in!" I heard the faint voice of Helen and my door being open. I quickly regained from my umm.. flashback?
"Helen?" I asked, still slightly … unfocused. She smiled.
"Hi, sweetie. Is there anything wrong?" she asked, walking up to me. "I was shouting your name for, like, 5 times."
"Oh, nothing. I guess, it was just a flashback. Really?" I said, smiling reassuringly. Her eyes widened.
"YES! And it is that bad?" she asked, hugging me. "You seem really out of it."
"Oh, no! No, no, no!" I said. "It wasn't even bad." I said, smiling. She looked at me, confused. "It was, in fact the best flash back I ever had."
She looked a bit startled, but then smiled. "Well, then, I'm glad to hear that." I smiled. "Oh! By the way, Percy is already downstairs."
"What?!" I said. "Since when?!"
"Since 15 minutes ago. That's why I called your name." she said. "Why?"
"Oh my gosh, Helen!" I shouted. She jumped from shock. "Quick! How do I look?!" after I said that question, she laughed as I frowned.
"Annabeth, is that you?" she asked, regaining from her laughing fit. My frown deepened. I guess, she noticed, because she stood up straight. "I mean, the Annabeth I knew never would've never ask that question. Heck, she wouldn't even look in the mirror to fix her hair." She smiled. "Percy's changing you, honey."
I frowned. "Is that a bad thing?" I asked, a bit angered for her blaming Percy. She shook her hair, smiling slightly.
"I never said it was a bad thing." Then she turned to walk out of the door, but stopped when she reached it. "I think it's for the best if you go down now. I'm pretty sure Percy isn't one for waiting, am I right." I smiled, nodding my head. "Oh, and Annabeth?" I looked at her. She smiled at me. "You look wonderful." And the left the room, leaving me staring at the door, smiling like an idiot.
I wonder what Percy will think?

Hi! Thank you for 102 favorites! I'm sorry for this really short chapter, especially when you guys gave me a hundred favorites, but I didn't want you to wait any longer. So yeah… I tried, though. I tried to make it fast. I got a beta reader, but she didn't read this chapter yet, cuz I want to make it fast for you. I'll try to make it fast for the next chapter.
So, until I get to give this to my beta reader (GIVE IT UP FOR MY FAVORITE AUTHOR AND BETA READER, "Amy's Mischievous Little Owl" !), I am sorry for wrong grammars, spell check's and spelling and all the wrong things.
I HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK YOU! WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE VILLAN? Has to be Greek and this villan must already fought Percy and Annabeth, but lost in the past. Action in the next chapter if you answered! ))
