Disclaimer: I do not own PJO.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: This story will be put on hiatus. I know, I know. I'm horrible. I even promised myself I would never do something like this, but yep. Here's the hiatus. I have reasons for this, so I'm going to list them to you, okay?

School's coming up. The horror! I didn't even buy all my school stuff yet.

I have IDEAS. Spectacular IDEAS. For fanfiction obviously. I will be posting them, so watch out! HA HA HAH! Yeah. One's called, "Pirates" and the other's called, "Superheroes". Because of that, I'd have to juggle around with three stories…ugh. So this is going to be on hiatus.

I'm writing more. Ideas keep appearing in my head. It's horrible! So I need to write them down before I forget it all.

The terror of writer's block. Gahh…

Don't worry everybody! I will finish this! One day…

This chapter's not my best. It's kind of…dull, so spare me, okay?

PS. The story of those new ones I'm posting will be updated by the number of reviews. If for example, "Pirates" has more reviews than "Superheroes," then I'll update "Pirates" instead. If it's tied, I'll update both. Get the idea? Good.

PPS. I can't believe it. I'm actually getting bored of writing this now… This is terrible! But yes, I will finish it. There will even be a sequel. (Oh gods, my fingers are coming off…)

And for those who don't read Author Notes at the top, I will copy and paste this EXTREMELY IMPORTANT part at the bottom. Though notifying this here would be pretty useless then… And for those who don't bother reading this, then too bad. I'm not explaining it to you in a PM. And if any of you shoot insults at me, all Hades will break loose… No, I'm kidding. I don't even know who you readers are. But seriously, don't complain to me. I'll ignore you. Unless your complaint is very amusing.

(Sorry for the short chapter. It was the a/n I wanted to post. But I wanted to give you all a chapter too. So here it is!)

PPPS. I just realized Poseidon has a daughter with Gaea before. It's Charybdis, from the Sea of Monsters. Funny, eh? Charybdis is a female D:

Love Quest – Chapter Twenty-Five

The six people who ran off to a burger restaurant were being punished by doing the dishes, much to the dishwasher's delight. He got to take the day off. Even though they were absolutely devastated for be given torture work for skipping the feast, they didn't regret it. It was the most fun they've had since their quest started.

Percy was probably the only one who didn't mind washing plates. Actually, the only reason for that was because he wanted to test his powers over the waters. He hardly got any practice on it.

They were in the kitchen, wearing yellow rubber gloves, in front of a large sink overflowing with dishes and utensils.

"Those pigs," Travis muttered. "Why'd they have to eat so much?"

"Ew," Katie said, completely revolted as she picked up a plate with brownish, orange, green muck stuck on it. "What did they eat?"

"That looks like vomit," Thalia says with disgust.

"More like Pollux's. Did he drink wine again?" Nico gagged.

"We'll have to wash it either way. The sooner we start, the sooner we'll finish," Annabeth says, turning a bit green.

Percy agreeing with her happily picked up a dish and scrubbed it with soap. Then, the feeling of something tugging his gut caused the water to burst out from the faucet and wash his plate clean.

"Hey, it's works," Percy says brightly, showing them the sparkling round disc.

They gapped at him; the thought never came to their mind that Percy could do that. Even Annabeth had almost forgotten. He didn't use his powers often.

"That is so unfair," Nico crossed his arms.

"You can all soap it, and I'll soak it," Percy grins, ignoring the slight headache he'd gotten from using his magical water abilities.

"He rhymes," Thalia grumbled as if Percy was some sort of lame pet goldfish doing tricks.

"But then we have to touch those things!" Travis protested, sticking out his tongue.

"At least your mom isn't showing baby pictures of me to Grover, Beckendorf, Michael, Pollux, Silena, and Clarisse," Percy pouted.

"She'll probably find the most embarrassing picture, photocopy them, and then post them all over town later. Let's cross our fingers," Thalia says.

"Give him a break, alright?" Annabeth defended. "Let's get just this over with. And Percy? You're still doing soap."

After an hour of exhaustion, complaining, yelling, and over a thousand demands to shut up from Annabeth, they finally finished up and were heading upstairs to Percy's room.

Percy looked like he was about to faint right then and there. Using his water powers took too much out of him. His face was pale and he had bags under his eyes as if he had pulled an all-nighter. Annabeth had to help support Percy up the stairs since everyone else protested.

When they reached his room, Annabeth helped Percy get to his bed before he collapsed and began snoring. Nobody expected him to feel so tired after cleaning all those dishes because he was the son of Poseidon and all.

Annabeth exhaled with relief, her shoulders aching from practically dragging Percy up here herself. She sat onto the bed next to Percy's sleeping form and felt like curling up and falling asleep next to him. She resisted since there were four other people in the room.

"Well," Thalia started, taking a seat on the floor next to the bed. "That was fun."

Annabeth glared.

Thalia held her hand up in surrender. "Hey, I'm pretty sure you enjoyed having Percy's arm around you."

Face turning pink, Annabeth glared harder to try and cover it up with anger.

"Oh, relax, will you?" Thalia yawned. "I'm going to check out some of Percy's baby pictures. See you."

"I'm coming too!" Travis's eyes lit up.

"Me three," Nico nodded his head.

"I guess I'll leave you and Percy alone," Katie waved at Annabeth before leaving the room with the others. Katie shut the door behind her, leaving Annabeth and Percy by themselves.

Annabeth blinked. They were finally gone? Well, thank the gods.

She looked over at Percy's sleeping figure and spotted drool on his chin. Rolling her eyes, she snatched a tissue from a nightstand and wiped it off for him. She stared at Percy for a short moment. As cliché as it sounds, Percy did look pretty innocent in his sleep. Annabeth placed her hand on Percy's cheek and he unconsciously scrunched up his eyebrows as if concentrating hard on something. She thought he looked cute. After muttering "Seaweed Brain," she finally lay down and snuggled close to him. Automatically, Percy's arm began to wrap around Annabeth's waist protectively.

The two of them slept in peace.

…Like I said. It's short. Sorry? LOL. Yeah, real short… Hades, this is like, the shortest chapter I've ever freaking written! Man, I feel horrible. Almost like a month since my last update, and I give you all an author's note and an incredibly tiny chapter... And most of the words are from the A/N. Agh... The next part of the author's note is copied and pasted from the top.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: This story will be put on hiatus. I know, I know. I'm horrible. I even promised myself I would never do something like this, but yep. Here's the hiatus. I have reasons for this, so I'm going to list them to you, okay?

Anyways, REVIEW! If you'd like to whine about the hiatus or the tiny chapter, it'd better be worth my time. 'Cause this chapter was basically for the A/N... I know...I don't really deserve reviews, huh? But I'd be posting up the other fics real soon... (They're short too. LOL. I'm losing my touch! D: ) REVIEW!
