Annabeth couldn't help it…
She was was doubled over laughing her head off.
Percy was tackled from all sides by a total of… by the looks of it… four men in outfits that resembled Blackjacks. They all were somewhere in their mid twenties.
Annabeth couldn't see much else threw the tears of her laughter.
"Oh, Percy-Poo," A strange American-British-mixed-with-something-else-entirely accent said. The person who said this was in the center, directly hugging an awkwardly standing Percy. The man's head was resting on top of percy's. "I have missed you so much, my favorite non-human." Percy grunted through the overbearing pain that was coming from his ribs.
"Alex, as much as I absolutely adore your visits," Percy croaked out, with his words dripping with sarcasm to mask his pain. "You are crushing my ribs!" Alex was forced to let go after one of the new guardians picked Alex up and away from Percy.
Another man, who honestly wasn't very attractive grabbed percys head.
"Ahh, monsieur Percy!" The man said in a thick French accent. "It is a pleasure to see you again!" Then the Frenchman gave Percy a kiss on both of his cheeks. Percy cringed away from the form of affection.
"Pleasure is all mine, Lafayette." Percy said forcefully. It made Annabeth start gasping. "But will you stop doing that!"
The person who Annabeth guessed was Lafayette was pushed by person number four who just threw his arm around percys shoulder in greeting.
"Oh thank the gods," Percy praised. "A sane person." Loud laughter came from Alex, Lafayette and person number four.
"John? Sane? That's a sentence I never thought I'd here!" Alex shouted. John did the mature thing and stuck his tongue out. Person four clasp Percy on the back… hard from the look of his grunt.
Annabeth was able to catch her breath and stop laughing to managed to clearly see what was going on.
Annabeth had to admit that Alex looked familiar… where from she had no idea.
Alex had orange curly Hair, brown eyes, was about five foot 6 inches and wore a green coat, high boots, tight pants and a white undershirt.
Lafayette was a familiar name but she couldn't figure out where. He was tall, brown eyes and brown hair, red lips and rosy cheeks. He wore a uniform similar to what you see George Washington were but black instead of blue.
John had brownish-black hair, blue eyes and a light smile. He wore pretty much the same as Lafayette.
Person number four was tall, had black hair, green eyes and pale. He was smiling largely and wore a black fur coat and white undershirt.
Percy fell face first into the couch after every one of the new guardians crushed his ribs even more than they were.
Blackjack was still laughing at Percy's misery when he hugged his friends good naturally.
Blackjack said hello and Alex patted Blackjacks head. John all but jumped into Blackjacks arms like he was a bride and Blackjack was the groom for his hug shouting, "My death buddy!" Blackjack laughed and responded with, "Lieutenant Colonel."
Percy could be heard saying another, "Traitor!" It make Alex snicker.
After that, the guardians switched their focus to something… or more like someone else.
Tyson was jumping higher than he ever has been on the couch.
"Alex!" Tyson shouted jumping off the couch and onto the floor. Alex jumped and mimic Tysons stance.
"Tyson!" Alex shouted in greeting. Alex went up to Tyson and gave him a big hug. "My favorite non-human." Tyson giggled.
"But you said Percy is your favorite…" Tyson pointed out after Alex away and sat on his knees in front of him. Alex chuckled.
"But you see," Alex leaned in like he was giving Tyson a secret. "Percy is dead… so he doesn't count, I just say that to make him like me." Tyson giggled harder.
Annabeth got a thought in her head (probably from percy) saying, "not working." Tyson waved to his other friends, who waved back with just as much enthusiasm.
This is fun, Annabeth thought. Followed by, Traitor! Definitely from percy.
"Hey," blackjack gathered his friends attention and Annabeth jumped when he disappeared only to appear behind her. "Everyone, you guys know annabeth, I would hope."
The men turned to her and turned their heads. Annabeth waved.
"Annabeth!" Alex shouted before disappearing in front of her, he started to shake her hand quickly. "It is lovely for you to see me… honestly I never thought that you would see me while still alive, and I thought your problem would be resolved by now… by the way what is it like having Percy as a guardian? Is it as terrible as I would imagine?" Annabeth smiled and tried to force down another laugh.
Percy raised his head from the couch.
"Y'know I can ask Lin the exact same thing." Percy threatened with a hard glare. "And I have a feeling he would agree with me when I say, "You are an ass!"'
Alex smirked, tsking and shaking his head.
"You don't want to debate with me, Percy-Poo!" Alex laughed evilly. "And I know I am an ass, I've been called it my whole life! And Lin would never betray me!"
Percy snorted.
"Lin would, let's face it!" Percy shot back like it was a basic fact. Alex rolled his eyes and turned back to Annabeth.
"So my dear," Alex smiled. "Your reply." Annabeth smiled.
"Eh, he's annoying, but I can't complain," annabeth said honestly. Percy shouted a, "hey!" In offense while Alex laughed at the insult.
Alex patted her back. Annabeth smiled softened.
"What's your name?" Annabeth asked the guardian. Alex smirked, stood directly in front of her and said,
"Alexander Hamilton, at your service m'lady, Treasury Secretary under George Washington, founder of the U.S continental banking system, founding father and died at the hands of Vice President Aaron Burr; the sore loser." Alex smirked.
Percy threw a knife straight thru Alex's torso, it made the latter jump with a yelp.
"You can stop bragging now," Percy sneered. "You do enough of that from having your human write a freakin play about your life." Alex smiled innocently.
John stepped up to the plate as Percy and Alex went at it again.
"John Lauren's." John shook her hand friendly.
Lafayette was next.
"Marquis de Lafayette." He shook her hand as well.
Person four stood there next.
"Hercules Mulligan." He smiled.
Annabeth nodded, a little bit more than stunned to know that she was in the presence of famous people. It was awe inspiring.
The day dragged on…
Alex managed to sneak up on Percy and tackle him to the ground, he poured water over his head and even chased him after percy denied, "that he really loved Alexander but was just salty because Alex was with john," (or something ridiculous like that) trying to get percy to kiss him.
Eventually Blackjack felt his friends had overstayed their welcome and ushered them to Annabeth's house.
Percy laid on the floor in misery, obviously not happy with Alex anymore than when the day started, and Annabeth loved seeing that annoyed look plastered on his face.
Never have I ever thought I would do this… but here we are.
ANNOUNCEMENT, ANNOUNCEMENT, ANNOUNCEMENT!
I'll just say it, I AM NOT WRITING THIS STORY ANYMORE!
(Everyone pulls out guns, bows, daggers, whips, swords, torches and other deadly weapons/torture devices)
Yeah, I'll give you an hour to do as you wish….
[Three hours later]
(I am barely alive)
Yeah, I deserve that! But I would like for you guys to hear me out.
Call it lack of passion, call it disappointment in myself, call it doubt or call it one review that pointed out all the flaws in this story that made me feel this way (and quiet honestly the review was completely right) but I just don't have any ideas for this story anymore, I had a beginning and I had an ending but I couldn't figure out the middle and I have… four other fanfics that I am way more interested in but I have been making myself not write because I had to get this story out. It was… very much driving me crazy with guilt.
I appreciate everyone who wasted their time with this story, and I will never forget that, but I can't put out a crappy story like this anymore, it wouldn't be fair to you or myself (more importantly to you)
So, I am sorry, I finished the scene from last chapter for you but… I am sorry.
Now, I have some good news too!
First, I am not deleting this story, nor will I ever because I like to see my progress in my writing. So you guys can still enjoy what I have put up. And if I do managed to fill in the blanks of this story, I promise you, I will definitely rewrite this story, but for right now I have nothing and… (shrug)
Second, I am not giving up on fanfiction so let's get that straight. So trust me when I say that I am not going anywhere.
Third, If i do not rewrite this fanfic please know that I based this off of an original story idea I have called, "Pinky Promise." It's about a girl named Sarah who lost her best friend (Ezra) when they were both 19, five years later she starts seeing strange people following her around and one of them claims to be her best friend. This story is very much still in the works but i do plan on writing it and one day publishing it, so please, please know that if I never rewrite this story that there is still Pinky Promise to look out for (in the far future but… *shrug*)
Fourth, I will actually be telling you the rest of the plot for the story so you aren't left on a total cliffhanger.
Here you guys go.
Annabeth and Percy become closer and closer friends over the next couple of months. One day Leo and the strolls come by the area where they eat lunch with The Grace siblings and Piper. Leo and the strolls asks if they can have some money to pull a huge prank. The prank is to put a prank if every single classroom in the whole school. Thalia and Piper agree while Jason was force to. Percy volunteers to help and Annabeth (because it was done on a Saturday) was forced to come with him. After a night of fun, teasing and just plain silliness Percy comes to realize that he liked Annabeth (again)
He pushes the feelings down for about a month and doesn't even tell Tyson or Blackjack. Until…
Annabeth and Luke continue to date the whole time and get closer and closer as a couple. They were on a date one night…. well more like trying to finish that writing project for history (the one where they have to come up with a Greek/Roman myth) that ended up being a sleepover because a snowstorm outside. (it being… early January) Annabeth and Luke were simply watching a movie when Annabeth realized Percy being really quiet… then that he wasn't even in the room. Eventually Luke falls asleep and Annabeth goes looking for her best friend. She finds him in the kitchen, looking 40 something and drinking a can of liquor. She asks if he is okay and he simply shrugs, saying, "I could be worse but y'know… life."
Annabeth sits in front of him and drills him for about twenty minutes before giving up on why he was in such a sour mood. She starts asking random questions about guardians and liquor when she remembers a conversation from… a month ago about clear sighted mortals and their guardian getting together… becoming a couple. She asks the obvious questions, "how does that work, is it against guardian law, can they kiss," (answers, no idea, no its not, yes they can) annabeth eventually asks after a little rant "can they have…" she trails off and percy finishes for her. "Have sex?" She nods blushing and Percy says, "yes."
Annabeth being confused asked how and Percy answered this way, "It's like me trying to move a piece of your hair, I can touch it, I can do it, but as soon as I stop touching your hair, it's like it never happened."
After that Annabeth starts seeing the world… (more like Percy and Luke) differently. Annabeth starts to doubt her relationship with Luke and Percy starts thinking he did something wrong. Thinking he was ruining Annabeth's life by loving her, he finally tells blackjack, and through a lot of sadness and a three hour long lecture, Percy and Blackjack comes to the conclusion it was time to switch humans.
Percy goes back to tell annabeth and she gets pissed at him, asking why and demanding an answer. Percy refused to give one at first but after an hour long yelling match with All of Annabeth's siblings and Magnus listening in Percy breaks and tells her that he loves her and why it's dangerous and why he can't be her guardian anymore and that she was going to get a new guardian and that she was going to marry Luke have kids and live the life. And that the only way for that to happen is for him to get out of her life.
Percy leaves, sign the papers and Blackjack and Percy switch humans. Blackjack goes and just sits with Annabeth who had been sitting and crying on her bed for the last two or so hours.
While Percy goes to Tyson, and passes out instantly, Tyson already being asleep.
Annabeth breaks up with Luke, but they turn in their paper for history. A month later, they learn the winner of the contest, Will and Nico (who started to date a month prior) who won with their novel sized story about, "Ghost who protect the living" (basically a biography about their time as clear sighted mortals and meeting the guardians… laws, history and drama all there) and Dionysius tells Hestia about his problem with the clear sighted mortals and she informed Zeus and who it was… because she heard the one trying to convince the other to agree but failed.
It was Aphrodite and Artemis… Aphrodite because she loved 'Percabeth' and Artemis because Aphrodite bribed her with never talking about Artemis (lack of) a love life every again.
Aphrodite told the ones who the clear sighted mortals they would go back to being blind mortals, (but have their memories) and had 24 hours to wrap anything up.
Annabeth and Percy were forced to talk and got together (sort of) after a lot of yelling and crying. Annabeth says she loves him and vise versa. The next day Annabeth knows that she isn't clear sighted anymore when it was Sunday morning and she heard no sound from the guardians yelling at each other while playing games.
Annabeth never married, never got together with a guy (much like Clarisse who fell in love with Chris) but still remained friend with everyone from high school. Especially Tyson who stayed clear sighted and Leo who could still hear the guardians talking but couldn't see them. And she became the world famous architect she always wanted to be.
Nico and will published their history project as a stand alone book and it became famous… and because of it the failing guardian industry spiked back to life.
Annabeth was the fourth to last person of the old clear sighted mortals to die, the others still alive being Tyson, Thalia, Piper and Will. She died on a Sunday surrounded by the guardians from her past and friends that had died months, weeks or even years before her and with Percy sleeping right next to her with his arms wrapped around her stomach.
She got Elysium for all the amazing building she created and chose guardianship (obviously) and the rest is history…
I hope that has satisfied you guys, I am really sorry I really am but I hope you guys have enjoyed the long summary of where this story was supposed to end and I hope you guys won't be too mad at me.
For the last time on this story (maybe?)
Bye.
-Kayla. (I am so sorry)
