The Missing Souls

Food

Annabeth's
In usual circumstances, I would talk about how we followed Luke back to the Chaos cabin, but we didn't.

It seems as though Percy, did not want to go back just yet. As soon as Luke was a good 20ft ahead of us, Percy stopped. I gave him a look that said 'What are you doing?'

He shook his head, and put a finger to his mouth, telling me to stay quiet. I obliged, though as to why? I have no idea because I'm usually not a dormant person, I'll admit I like to be in charge. Although when it comes to SeaweedBrain I'm willing to listen, even if the ideas are stupid. Why? Because I love him, and as the saying goes 'follow your heart.'

"Let's get food! I'm hungry, and it would be hilarious to get Luke in trouble!" I couldn't help but laugh at Percy's enthusiasm, and hunger.

"What about your parents?"

He shrugged, "Eh...They can wait!"

I just shook my head, and rolled my eyes at him. He held out his hand, and I gladly took it.

In a matter of seconds, we appeared on a dam. I looked around and laughed. Percy frowned "you don't like it?"

I smiled, "I do, but the Hoover Dam Seaweed Brain!"

"Well, you missed the original adventure. So I figured we could have another, just me and you."

I hugged him, and gave him a peck on the lips. "You're the best, Seaweed Brain! I'm so glad you're back!"

"Me too, I missed you. Those 500 years without you were torture. "

My eyes widened, "500 years?"

"Yeah, time is different with Chaos." He paused, "Anyway let's eat! To the dam snack bar we go!"

"Very classy." I commented. He nodded in agreement, then raced ahead. I smiled at his childishness. His head turned momentarily, and he gave me his trouble maker smirk. My heart gave a slight flutter, just like when we were younger and first started dating.

Even though it's war that's coming and we may lose friends. For once I'm ok with the prospect of war, because it returned my seaweed brain to me, and for that I am eternally grateful. With Percy around, I'm finally able to be happy again. I can laugh without
being sad, cry without being alone, and smile for no reason except that he is next to me.

When I caught up to Percy, he was ordering food. I wonder what he could be ordering, with him it could be anything from candy to hot dogs. While he waited for the food, I grabbed a table.

As soon as I saw what he ordered, I started laughing. He smirked, "Don't you think Grover would like these?"

I nodded, took an enchilada from him, and started eating. I quickly finished one, where as Percy was on his third.

"Grover misses you," I told him. "So does everyone else. Your parents the most, I'm surprised they even let you out of their sight!"

He sighed and sat his fifth enchilada down. "Everyone misses me! Why does anyone care? All I did was manage to die, and everyone does that at one point or another!"

I hugged him to calm him down. "Shh seaweed brain. Let's ignore everyone else, and remember the good times. Like our first quest."

He smiled. "I made my first enemy that quest, ares. He still hates me!"

"To be fair, he can hold a grudge. Not as well our parents can, no could even rival them, but he holds grudges." My mom and his dad have grudges from thousands of years ago, they need to let it go. Albeit it was his dad's fault, but still they need to let them go.

Percy laughed, and his face lit up. "True they do hold grudges, but Chaos does too. He makes me use a bow and arrow sometimes, just because I ate his food once. I do respect other people's food, but it was blue.." I joined Percy in laughing, because that's pretty funny. A primordial being acting like that is not something you see everyday.

"Percy," I began. "Since he is a primordial, doesn't Chaos know where we are?" Did Percy even think about that!

He shrugged. "Probably, but he's too busy plotting how to punish me with my parents. After they make sure I'm alright, of course." Ah, the advantages and disadvantages of having your parents together. Advantage they actually like and agree with each other, disadvantage they agree with each other. "We can go back now if you want to though, it's ok."

"Ok," I agreed. "But, I want to be the first to challenge you to a sword fight, Jackson."

Percy smirked his troublemaker smirk. "You're on Chase!"
