I would never be able to listen to New Romantics the same again after this pic-

ANNABETH CHASE

AS I EXPLAINED what happened to me after I was captured, Percy, Thalia and Grover stood by my side. Mr. D was playing pinochle with those imaginary things but I knew he was listening.

Percy had a tight grip on my shoulder, not that I cared, he was my best friend other than Thalia and Grover and him holding my shoulder in means of comfort was really a great help.

After I was finished, Chiron gave me a wary nod and instructed us to go and get some sleep. Grover went to his satyr friends after giving me a quick "good night" amd we made our way to the cabins. When we reached the cabins, Percy gave me the awkward best friend hug he gives me when we leave for our homes at the end of summer session. This left me alone with Thalia.

"So, you and him, huh?" She asked me with a smirk. "What?" I asked. Thalia rolled her eyes. "Gods, Annie. You already forgot?!" I decided to ignore the use of nickname.

Honestly, while narrating the whole tale to Chiron, I had totally forgotten about the time travel. My cheeks turned red. I was married to Percy Jackson and had a daughter.

Thalia saw this and laughed, "I knew it." She said. "You both like each other, like a lot." "What? How?" She rolled her eyes again. "Girl, please. Everyone knows you both like each other, including me and I haven't even with you two for that long."

Okay, maybe I have had a crush on Percy since we were twelve but I think I have done a great job hiding it! Like he still hasn't found out. I get that we're married and all but why would he like me?!

"-beth? Annabeth!" Thalia was waving a hand in front of my face, calling my name. "Yeah, I am here. Well, there is no proof that he likes me." At this, Thalia laughed again. "Gods, you are so naive. You know when you were captured, Percy was ready to jump off the cliff if it made you safe." (Well, about that.....)

He was ready to jump in for me? I get that it was water, but still. No one has done such thing for me if you exclude Thalia becoming a tree.

"And right now, before the whole incident, we were playing Capture the Flag. Percy and I were co-captains." "What?" I asked rhetorically. Having a child of Zeus and Poseidon co-captaining is not a good decision! "Well, yeah. Some harsh words were said and I ended up electrocuting him and he ended up dowsing me in water. He is quite possessive of that nickname you gave him." She told me.

"Maybe it was because we were both emotionally drained but Chiron had to plead to stop us. Also, I have a feeling he blames himself for what happened.." she said with a sigh. "What?! It was not he fault! If it weren't for him, we could have lost Bianca and Nico." I exclaimed, exasperated.

"Well, we've tried telling him that! He almost got in trouble with D after we returned because Mr. D said you were compromised and you know Percy, he got angry. If it was not Nico amd his stupid Mythomagic game, he would probably be dead.

I was about to reply but I heard a cough behind me, gripping my dagger, I turned. It was Chiron. "A little late for chit chat, is it not?" He asked with raised eyebrows. "Go to sleep." He then instructed.

Both of us went to our respective cabins and fell asleep, not knowing what the next day would bring to us.

ANNABETH

I WOKE UP at around 5 am the next morning. I was beside Percy. His arm was around my shoulder and my head was on his bare chest. He had some stress lines on his forehead which tensed me. I waited in that position for a few minutes.

Slowly, in a couple of minutes, Percy's face was calm again. I gently got up from my position and Percy shifted a bit but was back to normal again.

When I was out of the bed, I gave Percy a peck on tne forehead to which he smiled a little in his sleep, making me smile as well. I looked up properly to see that Will, Grover and Calypso were the only ones awake.

"Hey, g'morning..." I said, still not fully awake. I got three "Good morning"s back. "Well, we don't have any toiletries here so I suppose using the washroom could be a task." Calypso said with a sigh. "Not even soap?" I asked, surprised. All the cabins had toiletries beforehand. "No, Annabeth. Remember? No one stays here? Ever?" Grover reminded me. Ugh.

"Well, I really need to take a piss. Let's see what we can do." With that, I went in. The washroom mwas made out of plain, white marble. Nothing much. Not even a bath. Groaning, I did my business.

I then went out of the cabin. The other three didn't try to stop me either. No one would be awake yet, except, maybe the Apollo campers and Chiron.

I walked to the nearest bathrooms which just so happened to be the same ones Percy blew all those years ago. I chuckled to myself and went in. I washed my hands and quickly snuck back into the dreadful Hera cabin.

At 7:30 am, I went to wake Percy as I was getting bored. I shook him gently and he woke up. "Good morning." I said with a smile. He cleaned the drool off of his face and smiled back. "Morning." By now, the Stolls, Katie, Hazel, Frank and Chris were up too.

I don't know how but the Stolls had managed to get hands upon some toiletries like soap, two dozen of newly packed toothbrushes, a toothpaste and some face wash. Percy went to freshen up and came back. He said good morning to everyone then sat ext to me on our bed and gave me a kiss.

By 8 am everyone in the cabin was up and fresh. We then sat, waiting for the next step when a letter dropped in the centre of the room. Katie picked it up.

"Huh," she grunted, "it's in English." "Do you want me to read it?" Frank asked. "No, no, I am not dyslexic." She told him with a smile and began reading.

"Good morning,

You can go out and do whatever you want today. Introduce yourselves first and then carry on.

Be glad you're still alive,
The Fates."

Katie read this and looked at us, "this is good, right?" She asked and we muttered our agreements. "Guys, wait!" Percy said suddenly. We all looked at him. "Everything alright?" I asked at Percy's sudden exclamation.

"I had a dream." He siad with a sigh and we all groaned. "Well, what is it?" Clarisse asked. Percy explained the dream and we all groaned again. The gods were the last thing we needed at the moment!

Thank gosh, we were not greeted by someone hyperactive or crazy, but a calm and understanding personality.
