Percy's POV

I walk down the streets of New York hand in hand with my girlfriend Annabeth, daughter of Athena. I'm supposed to be taking her on a date, I've been trying for weeks, every time something went wrong. The first time a herd of monsters stormed through New York City, and guess who had to stop them? The second time a guy was checking out Annabeth and I got a little mad and made the water fountain explode. Then the third time Annabeths house was surrounded by monsters and she was feeling sick. So now this time I'm going to make this the best date will ever have if it's the last thing I do.

I pull her into a restaurant called Rita's, I heard their supposed to have food from ever culture here, so Annabeth would have a choice.

A tired looking waitress walks up and hands us our menus, she plasters on a smile and politely asks what we want to drink. Annabeth gets Sprite and I get water.

The waitress scribbles our drink orders and hurries off to deliver it.

Annabeth's beautiful stormy grey eyes scan over the menu, pausing every few seconds to try and make out a single word. I stare at her for a few more seconds then look down to my own menu. I open to the blue page and see red swirling cursive at the top of the page. I squint and strain my eyes trying to read the word, dinner.

My eyes scroll down the menu, stopping at every choice to strain to read it.

I decide what I want, tacos with blue tortilla chips on the side, I haven't had Mexican food in a while and I mostly eat blue foods, since that's what my mom usually makes.

I look up from my menu and look at Annabeth for a few seconds before the waitress interrupts. "Here are your drinks and I'll be right back over to take your order" she says.

Annabeth looks up from her menu and her eyes meet mine. The waitress sets down the drinks quickly and starts to turn. "Thanks" Annabeth says as the waitress walks away. Her eyes shift to meet eyes, and then I realise I'm still staring at her. "What are you looking at seaweed brain" she says with a smile.

I blush, realising I've been caught. Then, at that moment the waitress reappears with her notepad. Wow she really has bad timing.

"What would you like today?" She asks in her preppy voice.

"I'll have the..." I don't hear the rest of what Annabeth is saying, I'm trying to remember my order.

"And you sir?" The waitress turns to me.

"Uh" gods now I sound stupid "the tacos with blue tortilla chips on the side please" I say as intelligently as I can.

"Ok, coming, right up" the waitress says as she finishes scribbling down my order.

Suddenly I feel an urge, an urge that's not very great on a first date.

"Annabeth I have to pee" I say quietly.

She chuckles and says "ok go ahead but be careful, I have a bad feeling"

I kiss her nose and scamper to over to the bathroom.

I throw open the door and walk in to see an old guy just chilling next to the sink. He looks awfully weird.

The old man smiles at me and walks behind me to leave. Then everything goes black.

A/N: so what do you think is going to happen? What do you think Annabeth does? And predictions?

Don't forget to please
