Author's Note: Ok we all know the story: I haven't updated in over year, I've gotten over 100 emails saying that, YES I KNOW (and thanks to everyone who sent those!). No excuses, except these 2 words: Writer's Block. Obviously not the only reason, but a part of it. Cannot promise to update soon, so just putting that out there, but this story will finish, I PROMISE. Let's just hope in won't be a year this time, yeah? *awkward laugh and death glares towards me* OK THEN! ON WITH THE STORY! The Legendary chapter 6...

Percy's POV

After many hours of deliberation and pacing the floor, I finally finished the letter that was supposed to be in Annabeth's hands within an hour.

Here's what the letter read:

Annabeth:

My feelings cannot be repressed. You must allowed to tell you how much I ardently admire and love you. Ok, well you know I took that line from that book you and my mom love so much, but the message is still the same. I really do care for you, Annabeth; More than I let on some times. I've hurt you badly, and I will never forgive myself for that. But you have to believe me when I say I had no idea what crossed my mind when I was with Luna. It's like I had no control over what I what I was doing. Yeah that sounds kinda cheesy, but it's true.

I wouldn't blame you if you decide not to forgive me, but this clears up anything that might be going on in your head. Thank you for reading my letter and I'll see you around, I guess.

Percy

I had no idea how to address that last part; because I doubt that after that little episode, she'll think of me a someone she can love much less a friend.

I put the letter delicately into an envelope and managed to seal it without too much difficulty.

My plan was to just leave this on her bed and get out: quick, painless, and sneaky.

I wonder if the people at Athena's cabin found out what happened…

Oh gods, I just thought about it…I'm going to die.

But I was going to have to be brave and just go for it. I really didn't care if I had to battle off millions of monsters and Clarrise: This was for Annabeth, after all…

And she was defiantly worth it.

Annabeth's POV

I was still a little shaken for the last events that had happened. I felt it all: betrayal, love, heartbreak, and a little hysteria. But thankfully, there were friends like Thalia and Grover to help me along. They sat their listening attentively and patiently. I swore I wouldn't know what to do without them…

"…and I guess that's how you found me. Pretty pathetic, huh?"

I was trying to let the atmosphere ease up a bit, but Thalia and Grover still looked like they wanted to attack something…hmm, interesting concept that I can find useful for later…

It was quiet for a while: all you can really hear were the birds in the trees and halfblood freaking out over last minute preparation for the summer solstice dance for tonight. Which reminded me:

"Hey are you guys going tonight?" I asked, trying to take the subject off my personal issues.

"If he's going to show up, then no way in hell!" Thalia stated angerly.

So much for that.

"Well, I don't think I would have much fun, considering that all that's happened…" Grover stated quietly. He picked up a blade of grass and began to play a little jig by doing that weird thing with his hand that I still had no idea what to do.

Then something occurred to me:

"Why do you guys care so much? It's not like it's the end of the world and besides, Percy is just another boy who I let in too soon and I got in too deep with my emotions-"

"How can you say that?" Thalia interrupted. She gave me this disbelieving stare that sort of reminded me the stare that I would give to someone if they were doing something obviously stupid. "He's like your dream guy, isn't he? Wasn't he the one you would die for? He's the one who makes you laugh and who you'll talk to about anything and-"

"-and he was also a friend who with another girl! Ok? Don't give me the 'he was your world' speech because that's exactly who he was and I don't need a reminder of how miserable I made myself with my stupid dreaming!" I yelled back, tears welling in my eyes. Grover was just looking back and forth between us, unsure of what he should do.

Thalia looked a little bit ashamed at what she said and then quietly said, "I'm sorry."

I looked at her and gave her a small smile, "It's fine. You were like me once remember?"

She returned my smile and looked out at the distance: I wonder if she was thinking of Luke…

After that everything got silence again.

Grover interrupted the silence with a comment of his own: "We care because it kinda sucks to see your best friends hurt over something a goddess takes for her own personal amusement."

I gave him a curious look and the tiniest seed of anger, and hope, was planted in my mind.

Grover gave me a steady look, "There's a reason why we came to find you."

That's when everything hit me like a train. Remember that seed of anger from three lines up? It was fully fledged bush now.

That arrogant disgusting airhead bubble-brain, piece of crap oh so 'miss everything-revolves-around-me queen' goddess.

"I know right?" Thalia said. Apparently, the answer was so obvious on my face.

But what really got was the seed of hope I also had. That tiny bead that said everything was going to be alright. I felt like crying. Luckly, I didn't. No more tears, no more sorrow. Time to take action.

"Guys," I said, looking at my two best friends, giving them a little smirk, "we have a dance to go to."

An idea was slowing forming in my mind, giving me a sense of control over my life. Maybe it will all be over soon, and maybe my nightmare of a day will finally end.

But Annabeth, the nightmares never go away.

Up on Mount Olympus…

Aphrodite bared her teeth like a bloodhound and griped the rail over which she was watching.

"If that brat even thinks about breaking out of this storyline, she's got another thing coming. No wait-"

She looked over to search for her little male minion and a smile slowly crept on her face.

"She got Alexander coming, and this time: it's going to hit her hard."

Percy's POV

On my way to deliver the letter, I walked into some of Annabeth's cabinmates, who left their 3-dementional game of chess to glare at me.

Yeah-they didn't look to happy

"Hey seaweed brain!"

Somehow, it was cuter when Annabeth said it.

I tried to ignore them, but there was concept known as "being outnumbered"

I turned around to find 3 daughters and 2 sons of Athena, coming up at a somewhat aggressive speed.

One daughter was bold enough to go right up to my face and stated:

"She's get over you, you do realize that don't you? She's stronger than she looks-"

"Yeah, I know. We've been on quests before-"

"That's not what I mean. Listen, we can control your teenage urges but listen good, Percy Jackson, if you really love her more than you stated that pitiful excuse for a letter-" she glanced down at my hand, "then I say this-stay away from her, get yourself together, and don't hurt her anymore. She doesn't deserve someone who is going to break down her barriers and play with her like a Barbie doll, got it?"

She gave me this hard stare and grabbed the letter out of my hand. I was about to protest when she spoke again, "I'll make sure she gets it. Maybe she'll read it..."

She looked behind me and all of a sudden, her look turned to disgust. I turned around to see Luna walking towards me.

Funny: I don't have that same feeling of infatuation I got when I was around her last time. This time, I sortof want her to go away…

"Hey, Percy" she came up and wrapped her perfectly manicured arms around my neck. I gently pushed her away, and a frown formed on her face.

"Aw, don't be like that. I just wanted to see what time you were going to pick me up for tonight." She said in the most annoying flirtatious voice that sortof reminded you of an airhead cheerleader. She smiled at the end of her sentence and traced a finger on my lips. I swore; I wanted to run.

The Athena crew exchanged glances and one guy said, "Come on. Obviously, they have a lot to talk about."

A few dirty looks and a threat later…

Luna ran off to get ready, for a date I vaguely remember making, much less go on, Annabeth pretty much wants to kill me, and the Athena "I hate Percy Jackson" crew left, plotting of ways to keep Annabeth away from me.

Oh yeah, my life is great.

Shout out to the first person that guesses the correct movie ref in the letter!
