Annabeth

Annabeth's POV

Word around camp reached me fast. Piper and Jason broke up and the first thing I had to do was talk to Piper.

She was down at the pavilion alone, digging her dagger into an old piece of cloth. I took a seat next to her. We were at the Demeter table.

"You good?" I ask.

"Yeah. Can't say I didn't expect it to happen."

Being as how I am, I find it difficult to approach these situations, but what can you expect? My teenage life wasn't really filled with 'girl talk'.

"At a loss for words?" Piper looks up and smiles, knowingly. Guess she hasn't had much of this experience either.

"You know what'll cheer you up?" I say, an idea popping into my brain.

"No, but I'm on the edge of my seat,"

"Let's destroy a few dummies down by the arena. Word is, Olympus just lent a new one that looks like a hydra."

Piper gets up and tightens one of her gloves, "You know me so well good friend."

Still Annabeth's POV

After a long afternoon slashing up hydra-shaped dummies with Piper, I knew someone had to talk to Jason. After all we were all still friends, but I still thought Percy would have been a better help to Jason.

Percy was in his cabin, finishing up an IM to Grover in California (A.N. Get the reference?)

"Can I see him?" I ask.

Percy turns and sees me, "Sure. Hey Underwood, WiseGirl's coming on."

"Cool," Since the last time I saw Grover in person, his voice dropped another octave, his wispy facial hair was grown in, and his horns were no longer tiny stubs on his head, "Hey Annabeth,"

"Hi, how are things in California?"

"Not so good. Why must people disobey drought laws?"

"If you want, I could help plan out an irrigation system on some of the more affected areas after this thing passes,"

"Cool, hang on a sec..." There are voices in the background of Grover's, "Okay... I gotta go. Nice seeing you guys."

"You too!" Percy and I say in unison. The image fades into a mist.

"Something wrong?" Percy asks.

"Here about Piper and Jason?"

He stops dead in his tracks, "What about them?"

"They broke up," The words are still bitter coming out.

Percy frowns and runs his long fingers through his silky black hair. No matter the mood, my SeaWeed Brain is the most thoughtful, attractive, and awesome person I know.

"Did you...talk to them yet? When did this happen?" I can almost hear the hurt in his voice. Seeing his friends get hurt...burns inside of Percy.

"Today. And yeah, I talked to Piper, but I thought you'd want to talk to Jason," I explain.

He nods, "Yeah, I'm going to do that as soon as possible ASAP,"

Despite the situation, I sigh, "Those things mean the same thing."

"Annie?" Percy looks at me, straight into my eyes.

He had never called me THAT before, "Yeah?"

"You don't...think we'd ever...break up right?"

"Of course not. Percy, I love you. Not just that, I am IN love with you,"

"I love you too Wise Girl,"

I pull him into a hug and in seconds we're kissing. For a moment it seems like everything else is oblivious. And then reality sets in.

"Talk to Jason. Whether he says he needs help or not, go to him," I say and he leaves the cabin.
