The blue pancakes made her feel queasy. Well, she had felt queasy since last week, when they had come back from Camp Jupiter for summer break three days ago.
"Ummm… I'll be right back," Annabeth said as she ran to the bathroom clutching her stomach.
What was happening? Annabeth was confused. And she was rarely confused. She hated not knowing what was happening. Annabeth felt a strong feeling inside. Something was pushing her inside. Could it be…? Already? Well, It doesn't matter, thought Annabeth. There are more important things to be accomplished right now. Today she and Percy would just go to Camp Half-Blood and meet her old friends. She missed the Athena cabin.
Although she felt comforted, Annabeth couldn't ignore the feeling inside her stomach. As if there was something growing inside her. It hurt. Annabeth sighed. Trying to hide her anxiety, she walked out of the bathroom.
"Well, were the pancakes bad? What's going on?" Annabeth asked.
"I can assure you that the pancakes were fine. I make them almost every morning. But I don't think you're fine. Here. I have a gift for you," Percy's mom replied, handing Annabeth a thin object wrapped in plastic.
Annabeth walked into a separate room and opened it. She almost died of shock. It was a pregnancy test. That's not possible, thought Annabeth, what's going on? Were Percy and the other four playing a trick on her?
" Hey, whats up?"Percy said.
"Nothing," Annabeth said quietly while hiding the test behind her back.
She side stepped into the hallway, and put it in her bag.
"Ready to go?" asked Percy.
"Yeah, let's go."
On the drive in Percy's new car, a black Jeep, Annabeth started to relax with the wind blowing in her hair. She looked at his face trying to picture when he was 11. The young Percy, shorter, with a more childish face, and his eyes wider and rounder. Annabeth smiled. She felt queasy again.
" Percy can you…"
She threw up all over the car and in Percy's face. The wind blew it all over Percy's face.
"ANNABETH!" Percy yelled.
He pulled the car over.
"Hey! What's going on with you? I'm worried about you. What's happened? You always look kind of sick and you've been acting strange and secretive. What's going on?"
"Nothing, Percy. NOTHING!"
SCREECHHHHHHHHHHWAAAMMMMMMMMBANG!
"ANNABETH! GET DOWN!"
The car flew across the street. Then a gigantic Tyson came, broke the window, grabbed Percy from the neck and snapped it in half.
"PERCY!" Annabeth sobbed."NO!"
