Alright here is an update. It is a little sooner then I normally do them, because I'm getting more invested in this story again. Thank you to everyone for all of the great reviews. StillSomeone, I've never seen somebody review a story so many times, thank you for your enthusiasm towards my story. I hope that you enjoy this chapter.

Annabeth's POV (That morning) You didn't really think I would just tell you what happens with Percy right away did you, where is the cruelty in that? Nope I'm gonna leave you suffering for a little longer.

I woke up to a knocking on my bedroom door, followed by the voice of Nico, "Come on Percy wake up we're gonna be late. Annabeth I know you're at least up kick him into gear."

I groaned Percy was leaving today, "I don't wanna, 3 days is too long to be apart."

"Oh please, it took you 18 years to get laid, you can't be that hurtin for it that 3 days will kill you." That caused me to shoot up into a seated position. I was for sure awake now.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY DI'ANGELO!" I shouted, doing the quick mental math to calculate where his head should be and the force required to get my dagger through the door, and I threw it. I heard a satisfying squeak from the other side of the door, and a laugh from that traitor Thalia. "GODS DAMN IT THALS THAT WAS A SECRET BETWEEN A GIRL AND HER BEST FRIEND!" I mean seriously if you can't trust your best friend to keep your secrets, who can you trust?

Percy groaned next to me having woken up from the shouting. "Are we just telling everyone?" he asked his voice still groggy from sleep, "You know your mom will kill me when she finds out."

"It'll be fine Percy, Thalia won't go spreading it around, she's my best friend. Besides I didn't tell her on purpose she kinda guessed." I soothed him before Thals contradicted me by yelling back at me. "Oh please you told Piper, the whole camp probably knows you are trying to make little guppies now."

"WE ARE NOT TRYING TO MAKE GUPPIES!" I bellowed and was at the door ripping my knife out of it and swinging it wide open. I saw a glimpse of Nico disappearing into the corner in my periphery, but the majority of my attention was focused on Thalia. She was on the couch in what anyone not trained for a lifetime in assessing situations like this would deem as harmless and relaxed, but I knew better. She had her feet pulled up and on the edge so she could launch herself forward or backwards depending on the situation, as well as a hunting knife sitting at the ready on the couches arm rest. In other words she was prepared to attack just like she had been trained to do, but I was trained too and charged her.

She was ready as I predicted and launched herself meeting me halfway. I went on a relentless attack, though my anger started to ebb as I noticed that she not once tried to attack me instead she just parried and defended my strikes. It had probably only been 10 seconds before I felt an arm pull me close to a shirtless chest and spin me out of the way and behind him. Percy followed this with a nice kick to Thalia's stomach as he spun me, sending her stumbling back onto the couch, it might've been a little harder than one would usually use to break up two fighters but I wasn't going to complain.

He turned to me "Relax" he whispered while holding me firmly by the shoulders, but I had already started to calm down so I just nodded. I glanced around the room and saw that we had broken a lamp and sent its table tumbling into the wall in our fighting. I apologized to her for attacking her and she said she was sorry for telling Nico, saying it just slipped. We both cleaned up the mess and I went to put some clothes on to start my day. Quicker than I would've liked Percy was giving me one last kiss as he walked out the door to go meet Nico in the park.

It was quiet at the kitchen table as Thalia and I ate our breakfast before heading to school. I was thinking about how bad the next 3 days were going to suck when she spoke, "I was kidding this when I said it at first, but you aren't right?"

"What are you talking about, I'm not what?" I asked confused by her question.

She blushed really red, "You aren't trying to make guppies? I mean you are being careful right?"

My face turned equally red, "Of course we aren't trying to, um, I mean yes, yes we are being safe. I mean we weren't the first time, it was unplanned but since we have been." I looked down at my bowl of cereal not wanting to meet her eyes.

"Ugh, do we have to?" she asked, "I feel terrible and Percy is lucky I didn't puke all over him when he kicked my stomach." I looked at her and felt bad. I clearly hadn't been paying very good attention, because looking at her I clearly saw that she was paler than normal, she had sweat gleaming on her forehead and she looked like she felt like crap. She had only nibbled on a piece of toast and normally she eats like Percy.

I felt her head and it was on fire, "Oh gods Thals you're burning up. You probably should stay home today." I felt a little worse about attacking her this morning. She grumbled some assent and after I made sure she had everything she would need, I left for school thinking about how much more it was going to suck without not just Percy, but Thalia too.

The school day was dragging by, I wasn't completely alone though I still had my mortal friend. Unfortunately all that they wanted to talk about was how they thought Percy and Kristen were going to do down in Miami, and the last thing I wanted to talk or think about when I was missing him was about him and a girl I know likes him, and how they are in a different state together. I didn't want to be unfriendly though, so I did my best to participate in conversations.

It was in the middle of one of these conversations at lunch when Kevin McClain, one of the Linebackers on the football team, taps me on the shoulder. "Hey Annabeth, I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner with me tonight."

I gave him a glare, "I'm engaged actually, so no thank you." I figured I might as well try to be polite since Nico and Percy already started a rivalry with the football team, I didn't want to add fuel to the fire.

He looks taken a little surprised but smiles cockily. I guess most people would call him handsome but he was no Percy. "I thought after he kissed that Kristen girl, and they went off to Miami together that you would've broke it off, he clearly isn't thinking about you exclusively. You need a guy who'll stick around and take care of you."

Fuck politeness, I thought, "1 Percy did not kiss her, she kissed him." I said standing up. "2 Percy went to Miami separate from her and is trying to get into the Olympics to better our future. 3 He does think of me exclusively. 4 remember how Nico beat up you and your friends and damn near killed Marcus." He scoffed a little and mumbled something about getting lucky. "Luck or not, which it wasn't, I taught Nico damn near everything he knows and can take care of myself. Now if you ever bother me or insinuate anything about Percy and or I again I'll leave you a lot worse off than Marcus. Just because I taught Nico everything he knows, doesn't mean I taught him everything I know. Understand?" he just nodded a little before walking off very quickly. Almost every eye in the cafeteria was looking at me, but I simply sat back in my seat and continued my conversation, "As I was saying Austin, Percy is going to be trying out for 9 different events, and I don't think he should have any problem winning all of them."

He was still staring with his mouth open. He shook his head "You scare the hell out of me sometimes, you know?"

I just started laughing with the rest of the table, "Thanks, I'll take that as a complement." and he joined in the laughter as well.

The rest of the day passed fairly quietly until homeroom when I was approached by Andrew Mann. Andrew was a nerdy kid who was second in the class, cough I was first cough cough, and he was a little shy. "Um excuse me Annabeth do you have a second?" He was a nice guy and usually only talked to me about the hardest questions in our classes we had together to compare it to his, so I said sure. "Well I was wondering what you were doing tomorrow night? You see…"

"Are you kidding me?" I cut him off. He was at our lunch so he had to have seen my confrontation with Kevin. "I am engaged Andrew. I am very very happily engaged and will not go out on a date with anyone here." I said to the room at large.

He turned bright red and squeaked out all at once, "I was actually just wondering if you wanted to come to the Mathletes meeting, we could really use somebody of your intelligence. I'm sorry." He quickly turned and scurried for the door.

"I'm sorry Andrew I…" I tried to explain but stopped, he was already out of the classroom. Paul gave me a look from the front of the room, he waved me over as the bell rang and people started to pile out. "I'm sorry Paul it's just someone already asked me out today, and I'm stressed about a bunch of stuff, and I just miss Percy." He smiled and gave me a warning for my outburst, while saying that Percy would be back in no time and not to worry.

When I came home I heard someone in the kitchen and assumed it was Thalia, which was good that she was feeling well enough to be up making herself something to eat. I was shocked when I walked in and saw it was not Thalia but Nico in the kitchen. "What are you doing here, you are supposed to be in Florida with Percy?"

"Thals was sick, so I came back to take care of her." I was proud of him for making the "good boyfriend" call and putting his girlfriend's needs in front of his fun, but I was not looking forward to being a third wheel here for 3 days.

It was then that I decided that enough was enough and I was going to go support my boyfriend. "Well, I guess since you're here I might as well go there." He gave me a knowing look and said have fun as he took a bowl of soup and some crackers out of the kitchen and into Thalia's room. Now that I decided what I was going to do the problem was getting there.

As much as I knew I was going to regret it I was going to have to call in some favors. I pulled my phone out and sent out a group text to Rachel and Piper.

Annabeth - Who wants to be my best rich friend?

Their responses came through at almost exactly the same time.

Piper – I'm perfectly content being #2 rich friend, it requires less work.

Rachel – I'm not calling in any favors from my dad, which I know is what you want.

Annabeth – Ah, come on. I need a favor.

Piper – What?

Annabeth – I need a ride down to Miami to watch Percy's tryouts, and it would be a lot quicker if it was a ride in a plane. And since we are such good friends I figured we could go in one of your fathers private jets.

Rachel – Last time I did a my favor that involved father for the demigod world I ended up signed up for Clarion Ladies Academy. So what's in it for me if I agree?

Piper – Yeah what's in it for us?

Annabeth – You get to spend 3 days away from school on a beach.

Piper – I'm a year rounder here now so I don't go to school, and camp has a nice monster free beach I can visit anytime.

Rachel – Yeah, you're gonna have to do better than that.

I groaned I wasn't liking the direction this all was going.

Annabeth – What's it going to take?

Piper – How about a makeover, and 3 no questions asked favor to be turned in whenever I please.

Annabeth – Pass, Isn't helping out the greatest couple ever enough for your Aphrodite child brain.

Piper - Not a chance.

Rachel – I want naming rights to the first guppy.

Annabeth – What the hell Pipes did you tell everybody, and why is everyone calling my future babies guppies. A guppy isn't even what you call a baby fish it's just a small fish, a fry is what a baby fish is called.

Rachel – No Piper didn't have to say anything, I got the distinct pleasure of getting a vision of that horrid affair. What do you want us to call them, what's a baby owl called anyway. An egg or a chick?

Annabeth – A baby owl is called an owlet for your information, and no you aren't naming my baby.

Piper – OMG that is the cutest baby nickname ever for your kid, Owlet.

Rachel – Your Aphrodite is showing.

Piper – Oh shut up Rachel, you know it's a cute nickname. Besides you gave me an idea, I want naming rights for your second child.

Annabeth – How about the makeover and 1 favor?

Piper – Nope name or nothing.

Rachel – Yep if you want our help we get to name your child.

I groaned in frustration I knew that both of them could be impossibly strong willed and stubborn when they found something that they wanted.

Annabeth – Ugh, I guess when the time comes and I have my first child, not a fry or an owlet, a child, you can pick the middle name. But I'm holding vetoing rights in case you pick something I don't like.

Piper – DIBBS

Rachel – DIBBS

Piper – Ha I said it first I win, pick you up in 15 minutes Annabeth.

Annabeth – Sounds like a plan.

Rachel – I hate you both. I bet I know one you don't know Annabeth, "What do you call a baby beaver?"

Annabeth – A kit, you're not going to stump me I'm a daughter of Athena.

Piper – A giraffe?

Annabeth – A calf

Rachel – Kangaroo?

Annabeth – That's easy a joey.

Piper – Otter?

Annabeth – pup

Rachel – A wolf?

Annabeth – A whelp, I'm telling you, you'll never win this game. Just give up.

Piper – Never. A turtle?

Annabeth – A hatchling

Rachel – Monkey?

Annabeth – An infant

Piper – A swan?

Annabeth – A cygnet

Rachel – You're like baby animal Rain-man.

Piper – An eagle?

Annabeth - An eaglet, why Pipes you trying to come up with your baby's nickname.

Rachel – ROLF, at least since I'm a forever maiden I can't mess up like you Piper.

Piper- I hate you both

Annabeth – A baby dove is called squab, if you prefer that.

Piper – I'll see you in 15 minutes bitch.

Annabeth – I love you too

Piper – Yeah yeah yeah sure you do.

Rachel – Have fun in Miami guys.

During the conversation I had gone to my room and began to pack a small bag to take with me, I was so excited about seeing Percy. True to her word a little less than 15 minutes later Piper called and said she was outside. I said goodbye to Thals and Nico and left the apartment. A little over 3 hours later and we were landing in the Miami International Airport. I'd never been on a private jet before and I'm glad that it was Piper with me. Not that I don't like Rachel, but Piper was just so easy to talk to and laugh with the flight felt like it was nothing.

It was around 9 P.M. by the time we got to the hotel and took quite a bit of convincing to get the receptionist to believe I was Percy Jackson's fiancé and not just some groupie trying to go meet an athlete. I liked that they took such good care of their customers privacy it made me feel like Percy was safer, even though I knew that he didn't have any crazed fans yet.

We got off the elevator on the 21st floor to go to Percy's room, even though Piper got a room booked on 26th floor. She said she wanted to see Percy since she'd flown down all this way. When we rounded a corner we froze, standing in the hallway was a shirtless Percy and Kristen. My hackles rose even more when I heard what she said, but it was Piper that spoke up first.

Percy's POV

I showered and threw on a pair of old sweats thinking of how shitty it was gonna be to have to hang out by myself, as I laid down in bed when there was a knock on the door. I didn't even bother to throw on a shirt, I just turned sports center down on the TV and walked to answer the door. I was met with another surprise as I'd forgotten all about her coming down as well. "Hey Percy, can I come in?" Kristen asked as she stood there in a nice brown summer dress.

I glanced at my watch and saw it was 9:05, "Look Kristen its late and I was planning on calling it a night, big day of swimming tomorrow and all."

"Come on Perce, I just got off of a 4 hour flight and I slept most of the way. I'm not tired at all and you're the only person I know here. We can't hang out as friends?" she stepped closer and touched my chest gently and I quickly removed it.

She gave a little frown but didn't step back, clearly not getting the message I was trying to send out. "Look Kristen, we are friends but now that I know how you feel about me I don't feel comfortable having you alone in my room."

Her eyes got a little misty at my statement, maybe I'd said it a little to forcefully. "I can't believe you call yourself my friend. You led me on flirting with me and going with all of my advances. Who does that, how could you be so mean and intentionally hurtful to a friend." That was a low blow and it hurt knowing that I had hurt one of my friends so badly.

Before I could say anything though I heard a shout from the end of the hall and saw Piper come storming down in full Cherokee warrior mode.

Annabeth's POV

Piper was barreling down the hallway straight at Kristen stopping right in her face. "How dare you? Percy is the best friend anyone could ever ask for. He would never intentionally hurt anyone, especially not a friend. If I ever hear you say another bad thing about him, or see you kiss him or make a move on him I'll kill you. Do you understand me bitch?" It's crazy how she could so drastically change the meaning of the word, from jokingly calling me a bitch in a text earlier to this rampage death threat now.

Kristen stared wide eyed at her before glancing at me, "Oh, you aren't getting any help from me don't look this way." I growled at her. She got the hint and scurried away escaping into a room about 10 doors down the hall. "Great she's got a room on our floor." I grumbled more to myself than anyone.

Percy seemed to come out of his shocked daze wrapping me up into a big hug, "What are you doing here? You have no idea how much I was dreading not seeing you for 3 days."

He kissed me and when I pulled back I answered, "I didn't want to go 3 days without seeing you either, besides I figured since you are doing this for us I wanted to be here to support you."

Piper coughed and we jumped apart, "And I came to support my big brother so where is my hug?"

Percy just laughed and scooped her up into a hug. "You do know we aren't really brother and sister right?"

"Tell that to your mom." Piper answers causing us all to laugh. "Now I'm in room 2602 and I expect a phone call whenever we are heading down to watch him swim." She said to me and started to walk away before stopping, "Oh, and don't have too much fun I don't have any good names picked out yet for our little owlet."

I blushed but called back, "Yeah I know its so hard to come up with names for little eaglets."

She just raised a middle finger as she was walking away, "Goodnight, I love you."

"Good night, love you too." I said back and turned to Percy who looked adorably lost.

"You two are so weird, and what's with all the talk about naming birds."

I laughed and gave him a kiss, "Don't worry about it Seaweed Brain, it's girl stuff. You'd never understand."

"You're probably right" he said then laughed "nothing new there. Now come on let me show you this awesome room."

There you go everyone an update and a relatively quick one at that. I enjoyed writing this chapter a lot even if it was a bit of a filler. Once Rachel isn't after Percy, and Piper is in the picture I can see the 3 girls getting along very well. Anyway I hope you liked it. Until next time, Bitch I'm the Bomb like tic tic.
