Hi! I don't own Percy Jackson. I hope you enjoy this!

"Have you met Prince Percy yet?" Piper asked.
"No," Annabeth said, straightening a book on the shelf. "Have you?"
"Once. He needed to be fitted for a suit and I was asked to measure him."
"That's quite an honor."
Piper sighed dreamily.
"I'd never imagined being so close to the Prince."
"Lucky you."
Annabeth rolled the cart of books to the next shelf. She put the books on the shelf. While she was glad Piper had met the Prince, she wasn't too worried about meeting him herself. After all, the Prince never came to the library, as far as she knew, and she hardly left the library except for meals and to sleep. She had worked as the head librarian for three weeks now and loved every bit of her job. When she had been appointed as head librarian by King Poseidon, she almost started crying. She just barely managed to keep her composure. The Prince hadn't been there then. He didn't attend things like that. Annabeth's parents were so proud of her. She had run the village library for three years. One day, she had been told that her presence was required in the court, in front of the King and Queen. She had no idea why, and, at first, was a little frightened. But the King told her that she ran a wonderful library and he needed a librarian for his library, as the previous one had quit. He asked her if she thought she would be the right one for the job. Annabeth stuttered a little, then, clearly, calmly, said, "I certainly hope I would be." The King had smiled and appointed her to head librarian right then and there.
"It's lunchtime," Piper said, bringing Annabeth back to the present. "I'm half starved. Let's go eat."
Annabeth and Piper left the library, went down the corridor, turned left, went down a flight of stairs, and arrived in the servants' hall just in time for lunch.
"What's for lunch?" Hazel, one of the other servants asked Molly, the royal cook.
"Beef and potatoes," Molly said, serving the food. "The King says it's a special occasion, so everyone should have a special meal."
All the servants cheered. They rarely had so nice a meal.
"What's the special occasion?" Annabeth asked, sticking a forkful of potato into her mouth.
"I don't know. He's going to make a royal proclamation later today. We'll find out then."
They ate the meal and chatted about what the proclamation could be.
"Maybe Prince Percy is getting married," Piper said.
"I don't think so," Hazel said. "We'd have heard about an arranged marriage. And since the Prince isn't courting anyone, it would have to be an arranged marriage."
"Maybe this is how they're telling us about the arranged marriage."
They argued about this for a little. Annabeth ate her food in silence. Although she didn't voice them, she too had theories on why this was a special occasion. Maybe the King was abdicating the throne and the Prince was to be King. Or maybe the King was announcing a festival. When lunch was finished, Annabeth went back to the library. One of her apprentices (she still couldn't believe she had apprentices) came up to her.
"There's a book that I can't seem to find," he said. "One of the nobles, Lady Grace was looking for it."
"What's the title?" Annabeth asked.
Even though she'd only worked there three weeks, she had the entire library memorized.
"The mermaid and the otter."
Annabeth thought about it.
"And the author?"
"Sir Nereus of Ocana."
She thought about it some more. It would probably be under the letter O. She imagined the O fiction section in her mind. She went to the shelf and went through the O's. Yes. There it was. She picked it up and handed it to her apprentice, whose name was Malcolm.
"There you go. Tell Lady Grace you've found it."
Malcolm thanked her, then went off to Lady Grace, who was looking out the window to the courtyard. Annabeth went back to organizing the shelves. A few people came in, mostly nobles, and a few servants. Most of them went to Malcolm or one of the other apprentices. One came to her. It was a young man, most certainly a noble. He wore some of the finest fabric Annabeth had ever seen. She had seen a lot from hanging out with Piper, who was the royal tailor's apprentice. They had been friends before Annabeth had been appointed to head librarian. He wore a white shirt and a chain of gold around his throat. He had short scruffy black hair and sea green eyes. He looked vaguely familiar, but Annabeth couldn't place him.
"Can you please help me find a book?" He asked.
"Of course, Lord, err. What's your name?"
He looked surprised at the question. Then he smiled and said, "Lord Jacks- I mean, Lord Jack."
That also sounded familiar.
"Well, Lord Jack, what book are you looking for?"
"A cook book. It's called, A Guide to Cusine, by Bacchus Timplet."
"What does a Lord such as yourself need a cookbook for?" She asked before she could stop herself.
He laughed.
"To tell the truth, I don't like being a pr- I mean Lord. I'd rather own a restaurant or an inn."
Annabeth stared at him for a moment. What sort of nobleman wanted to own an inn or a restaurant? Then, she got control of herself.
"I'll find the book for you in a moment, my lord."
She climbed a ladder and picked out the book. She climbed down and gave him the book.
"There you are," Annabeth said, handing him the book.
"That was awfully quick," he said, looking impressed.
"I've got this place memorized."
"Really?"
"Yes. I have a very good memory."
Lord Jack scratched his chin thoughtfully.
"Find me the book, Tales for Young People, by Minnie Palla."
Annabeth thought about it. It would be in the fiction section, under P. She went through the section in her brain. Ah! There it was. She went to the shelf in the corner and climbed to the highest shelf. She plucked out the book in its nice blue cover and went back down the ladder. She handed the book to Lord Jack.
"There you are."
His eyes gleamed with excitement.
"I thought this book was lost forever. I've been looking for it for years. And you found it in fifteen seconds!"
Annabeth blushed.
"Well, I hope you enjoy it."
"What's your name?"
"Annabeth."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Annabeth. Thank you for finding my books."
He kissed her on the hand and left the library. Annabeth was too flustered for words. After a minute, she went back to arranging the books. Why did Lord Jack look so familiar? Had she seen him before? She'd have thought she would remember someone like that.

Thanks for reading! Please review!
