Percy let out a groan as the alarm clock beeped in his room on The Argo II, he carefully swung his legs off the bed and sat up.
He nudged Annabeth at his side, laughing tiredly as she grunted in response. Percy started to get up off the bed but was stopped when he felt his girlfriend's arms wrap around his waist, pulling him back into the bed.
"Annabeth, what are you doing?" He said in a hushed tone, still half asleep.
"Stay in bed." She whispered, her voice cracking slightly as she placed a kiss on his shoulder blade.
"We can't. You know that . Athens is only a day away, Gaea is close to rising. The world needs us."
