Chapter 1: The Invitations

(Prologue)

Annabeth's POV

It feels so nice to be sleeping in a King-Sized bed with my boyfriend. Unless the Stolls barge in that is.

"Hey Per... Ooh, Annabeth and Percy are in trouble. You guys know that a boy and girl can't be in a cabin alone together if they have different godly parents, right?" Travis said.

"Big trouble!" Connor emphasized.

"First Frank, now you... We were just SLEEPING! What are you gonna do, tattle tale like five year olds?!" I screamed at them.

"You realize we have a five year old mentality, right?" Connor asked.

"And with your track record of being alone in cabins with boys... Like Luke..." Travis started.

Then a woosh of water hit them.

"Leave her alone, and we were just SLEEPING." Percy said in a calm and controlled voice.

"But..." They started.

"GET OUT!" Percy yelled.

"That's what she said!" They said.

"That's what he said!" Percy retorted.

They looked speechless.

Then they threw a piece of paper at us and ran out laughing.

Percy grabbed the paper and read it.

"It's in Greek. I can read!" Percy exclaimed.

I giggled because he said it like an impossible miracle had just happened.

"It says 'Come to Aphrodite cabin 6:00 p.m. All children of Aphrodite except me (Silena) and Piper will be gone. We're playing a fun game. The people invited are; Annabeth, Percy, Chris, Clarisse, Charlie (Beckendorf), Thalia, Luke, Rachel, Grover, Piper, Silena, Jason, Leo, Nico, Zoë and the Stolls. See you there.'" Percy recited the invitation.

"Okay... Maybe we should go supervise, most of those people play horrible pranks on each other and random people." I said.

"Okay." Percy smiled.

He's so adorable. Shut up, he's my boyfriend.

"ANNABETH CHASE AND PERCY JACKSON, COME TO THE BIG HOUSE!" The loudspeaker for Camp screamed.

"Way to start rumors about why we're going Dionysus." Percy said.

I smiled and went to go find clothes I could wear (besides my PJ's, ha PJ's). I changed in Percy's bathroom. He changed in his bedroom. It wouldn't be the first time we've seen each other naked, but we made an agreement about when it's appropriate. Then we headed off to the Big House. As soon as we got there, Chiron called us inside. We sat down near Seymour, and Chiron started talking to us.

"So... I heard you two were in Percy's cabin. Alone. Together..." Chiron started.

I cut him off by saying, "We were just SLEEPING. And Dionysus gave us permission to live in Percy's cabin together unless Poseidon suddenly had a shockwave of children, which isn't likely to happen for a while, if ever again."

"YOU WHAT?!" Chiron directed the question at Dionysus.

"Trust me, it's for the best. Besides, Aphrodite pulled some strings with Zeus, and I can at least drink wine now because of it." Dionysus answered.

"Is that the only reason why?!" Chiron exclaimed.

"No. They should stay together because A, they swore on the River Styx that they would never leave each other-in terms of relationship or death-ever again. And B, they both have PTSD since coming back from Tartarus, which causes them to have nightmares, which can only be solved by sticking together. And I owe them a personal debt anyway." Dionysus explained.

Chiron looked shocked.

So we just slipped out and went to hang out until the game at 6:00 p.m. Dionysus smiled like he thought that we were funny. But it could've just been Chiron's expression.

"Funny how one of my 'enemies' is supporting us, but our friend Chiron was about to give us one of those 'talks'." Percy inquired.

"A little funny." I giggled. "But Dionysus has always had some respect for you. Plus, no demigod's ever been to Tartarus, let alone survived it." I added.

"I guess you're right. I'm just not used to this much respect." He said.

"Well get used to it Seaweed Brain." I teased.

Then he got that adorably evil grin of his.

"What...?" I started.

Then he threw me over his shoulder and said, "To the lake, Owlhead!"

His new nickname dor me besides 'Wisegirl'.

"No!" I half screamed, half giggled.

Then he ran us over to the lake and jumped in while still holding me. And he gave me another underwater kiss.

When we surfaced for air, I said, "You know, you're an idiot."

"Duh. That's why you call me Seaweed Brain." He joked.

"No, you're an idiot because I'll get revenge." I threatened with a giggle.

"How?" He asked, half laughing, half genuine curiosity in his tone.

He knows I can and will get revenge.

"You'll see." I said and escaped to run and find my tool for revenge.

If I would've looked back, I would've seen Percy's nervous and confused look.

Percy's POV

Twenty minutes after she left, Annabeth came back to the docks where I was sitting with Silena Beauregard.

"What? Is she gonna charmspeak me?" I asked.

"Nope." They said at the same time.

Now I'm nervous because of their evil grins.

"Do it." Annabeth said.

"You sure?" Silena asked.

"I'm okay with it. One time, and one time only." Annabeth confirmed.

"What...?" I started.

Silena cut me off and kissed me. With tongue. Then she suddenly pulled away and walked off to breakfast in the pavilion.

Annabeth laughed at my confused expression.

"Why...?" I tried asking.

"The look on your face. Plus, she's always wondered what it would be like ro kiss you. I figured I'd hit two birds with one stone." She giggled.

She can be so evil sometimes. But she's my evil woman. So I giggled too.
