Hey guys! Im back with ANOTHER story! I'm sure you all just love me for starting all these new stories and not finishing the ones I already started (sense the sarcasim)…but I can't help it! I get these spontaneous ideas, and I can't help but write them down! So anyway…Here goes! This story is going to be funny! It's gonna seem all romancey at the beginning, like the first chapter, but gets better later on. Idk if at the beging characters seem I little..i think you call it OC, forgive me. MAYBE like a few kisses at the end but not fluffy…yay! Ok I don't know how many chapters there will be, but who cares! Takes place the next summer at camp after TLO
Percy POV:
The long car ride from my apartment to camp seemed to drag on for hours, even though in reality it's only half an hour. Thank you ADHD.
Anyway, the school year was probably the best one I've had for a long time. It's strange I'm actually kind of…popular at my school now. I guess that's what being captain of the swim team does to a guy. Nevertheless, I was anxious to get back to camp. I'll give you three guesses why.
Finally, the car pulled up to the bottom of the hill, and I jumped up and starting running up the hill as fast as I could.
"Percy!" I heard my mom call. Oh gods, I hope she wasn't going to try and like, kiss me goodbye or something.
"Yea?" I said, almost nervously.
"You forgot your bag!"
Oh. Oops.
I ran back down the hill, and grabbed it from the trunk, then gave a quick "Bye!" and continued running up the hill.
As soon as I passed over the hill, I saw kids swarming around all around the camp. Wow. I guess my 'wish' actually did do a lot. I smiled in spite of myself; it was good to be back.
I was halfway down the hill when I heard someone coming up behind me, and turned, but no one was there. Then someone clasped their hands over my eyes.
"Guess who?" a very familiar , playful voice said. I was in a good mood, so I decided to play along.
"Gee, I don't know. Tell me?" I said.
"Nope. You have to guess."
"Fine. Santa?" I replied stupidly. Sure I sounded like a child, but I didn't care.
" Santa is a boy."
"Grover?"
"Also a boy." She said, sounding annoyed.
"Hmmm…so it's a girl."
"Oops."
"Rachel?"
"No."
"Please tell me, I'm stumped."
"Fine."
She spun me around, and pulled me into a kiss, which I willingly accepted. I found the top of her head, and pulled the cap off.
"Hey Annabeth." I said.
"Hi seaweed brain" she said playfully again. Wow, I guess we were both in a good mood. She grabbed my hand. "I missed you."
"Me too." I replied, smiling. "I have so much to talk to you about!"
She scrunched up her face and sighed. "I would love to talk right now I really would, but I have some classes to teach in," she looked at her watch. "five minutes. I just wanted to drop bye and say hi to the boyfriend I haven't seen in almost half a year." She said, nudging me with her arm.
"Hey! It's not my fault that you've been too busy working on Olympus!"
She laughed a little, and then her face changed from happy to overly excited. "Oh Percy! You should see it! It's amazing! I added this-"
"Um, Annabeth, I'd love to hear it, but don't you have a class to go bore the brains out of in-" I grabbed her wrist and read the watch. "-one minute?"
She looked at her watch too, and sighed. "Yea..."
I laughed. "Ok I'll see you later then."
"The beach, 11:30?" she asked.
"You bet. See you then. "
"Alright!" she replied happily, and then let go of my hand and ran in the other direction.
I started running towards, Looking forward to unpacking my things and collapsing on my bunk.
I entered the U-shaped line of cabins. Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Demeter, Poseidon. I opened the door to the small sea stone cabin, and stood there for a minute, taking in the wonderful scent of the ocean. Then, I walked to the dresser, and set my bag on top of it. I pulled out all my clothes and squished them into one of my drawers, dumped all my personal belongings into the drawer next to it, set riptide on the side table, and fell face first onto my bunk.
I guess I hadn't realized how tired I really was till I got here, and in a few minutes was fast asleep.
I slowly opened my eyes, and looked at the clock. 11:25. I had to go and meet Annabeth at the beach in five minutes. I had time.
I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, rubbed my eyes, and slowly stood up, combing my hair out a little bit, then walked out the door.
When I got to the beach Annabeth wasn't there yet, so I decided I needed to wake up a bit, and took a running jump off the dock into the lake making a huge splash. I stayed down there for a while, talking to fish and enjoying the peacefulness of the sea.
I heard footsteps on the dock, and saw Annabeth's glazy form under the surface, the sunlight on the water making her image sparkle a bit.
She pulled off her shoes, sat down on the edge of the dock and dangled her toes in the warm water.
I smiled. I knew what I had to do would probably make her very temporarily annoyed with me, but I just couldn't resist. Gee, I'm such a great boyfriend.
I very quietly came to the surface under the dock, since it comes out of the water a little, and swam towards her legs dangling over the edge of the dock. I stuck out my arms, grabbed her ankles and pulled her into the water.
She gave a small scream, then fell in, and came up yelling, "PERCY JACKSON I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"Not if you can't catch me first!" I yelled back, and started swimming towards the floating dock out in the middle of the water. I could hear her splashing behind me trying to catch up with me but was too fast. I reached the floating dock well before her and pulled myself up onto it.
She reached the dock, pulled herself up next to me, and hit on the head, however, I showed no reaction, and made a face the clearly said, "That didn't hurt."
I heard her mutter, "you're not invincible everywhere." before she jabbed me in the back.
"Ow, Ow! Okay! You win, I'm sorry!"
She smiled and crossed her arms. "Ha."
I decided to change the subject. "So how did your class go?"
Her face showed something of boredom. "Oh, the same old thing, a bunch of newbie's who barely know anything about Greek history. Do know how hard it is for me to work with them? There are some 5 year olds there! It's crazy!" She sighed.
"Well, at least we know the Gods are claiming their children, finally." I commented, trying to make her see the bright side of things.
Thanks to you." She added. "Whatever," I said. "Wasn't there something you wanted to talk to me about?" I hinted.
At first she looked confused, and then got really excited. "….Oh yea! Olympus! Oh my gods, you have to see it! It's amazing! There is a new garden, with golden fountains for each God and Goddess! And temples, and statues! Oh it's incredible! It's everything I dreamed it would be.." she finished, smiling.
"I'm sure it is." I said.
She laughed then started to lean in. I did too, but just before our lips touched, there was a bright flash of light and we stopped and turned around. Athena was standing directly behind us, and she looked angry.
" I have had enough of this!" she screamed "I have watched this go on since last summer and it ends now! This is a disgrace to my name! Annabeth you hanging out with this…..thing! Much less going out with him!
"Mother, you may be a goddess, but you can't control my life just because his dad is your enemy! That's your problem not ours! So just leave us alone!
How dare you speak to me this way Annabeth! You even speaking to this boy is a crime against nature, and I FORBID it to continue!" Athena screamed. I wanted to intervene, but I decided it would just make matters worse, so I stayed back.
"Nothing you say can keep me away from him mom. So just go away!" Annabeth screamed back.
Athena's face calmed but it had a strange expression in it….i couldn't quite tell what it was….
"Fine," she said. "If you won't obey me Annabeth, I guess I'll have to take matters into my own hands."
Oh Gods.
Annabeth POV:_
Oh my gods. What was she going to do? She smirked at Percy then snapped her fingers, and he disappeared in a puff of gold dust.
"PERCY!" I yelled, launching myself towards the remaining specks of dust floating around in the air where he was sitting. I turned steaming angry to my mother.
"you killed him didn't you! I swear if you did ANYTHNG to hurt him I will-" but she interrupted me.
"No, he is not dead. No, he is very alive, I just gave him…a makeover, we'll call it. A makeover defiantly fit for a enemy of Athena." She said, and started laughing again, looking at the water directly behind me.
I turned slowly, to the water behind me, and screamed at what I saw.
No. She wouldn't, she couldn't have….
But she did.
Floating around trying to swim in the water a couple feet in front of the floating dock, was a large black spider, with a blue dot on its back, and large green eyes.
EEEK! Poor Annabeth, Athena turned Percy into a spider! Hahahaha! Im so evil! Anyway so did you like? It was a very fluffy chapter, but like a said earlier, the first chapter is fluffy, but now the fluff is over, at least until the end of the story. REVIEW! Please! A review is the best thing you can do for an author. Even if it's just one word, it's helpful, and it makes an author want to continue the story when they people like it, or at least are reading it!
Love ya all!
