Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN!

It's them

We argued the whole way and I swear I could see the taxi drivers eye twitching the whole way as well. Of course it was about the most stupidest things. 'Why the hell are you not looking at me while im talking to you?' or 'Why are you so annoying?' and 'Why dose the world have to be round? Why not square?' Don't ask. All the while I was plotting my revenge. It was fool proof and of course Annabeth 'knew' what I was planning.

"It's not going to work so you might as well stop." She said. I conjured up the most innocent look that I could.

"I have no idea as to what you're talking about." I told her. She rolled her eyes.

"Oh look the clownfish has a vocabulary." She said. I glared at her but a question came to mind. Clownfish? Really?

"Yes for your information, I do. If I didn't I wouldn't be able to right that amazing book of mine." I said, raising my head up high. I had to have a good vocabulary. How else would I be able to reach out to my reads, or more so my future reader. Annabeth rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. Wow that's a first. She moved her gaze to where she was staring out the window. As if on queue we passed the 'Welcome to Montauk' sign. Then a line of small shops and business started to line up on each side of the street. They were evenly spaced out if you saw any grass it was vary small patches of it. Annabeth practically put her face up against the glass in attempt to get a closer look. That was when I started to get nervous.

"Uhh. Hey if you look close enough in the horizon you can see the ocean!" Even though I couldn't see her face, I knew she rolled her eyes. Then I could see her body tense up. Oh Shit.

"Percy… why the hell is it that half of the stores here have your last name in the title?" She asked. Oh shit it right.

"Uhhhhh because my dad owns them?" I left it as a question. She turned to face me, her eyes blazing with furry but her voice was deadly calm.

"Your family owns half the business in this… town and your working for me? Why?" She asked. I could hear the venom in her words.

"Because I don't want the family business." I murmured, glaring at the set in front of me. Speaking of that my dad is never going to let me live that down when I get home. Annabeth never got the chance to question the sudden change in my mood as the cab stopped.

"Alright, out. Now!" the taxi driver yelled. Damn, someone is in a bad mood. We both got out of the taxi. Annabeth slammed her door, just for good measure. I walked to the back of the taxi. I opened up the trunk and pulled out the two suit cases that were in the back. I was surprised that Annabeth only brought one. I mean don't girls bring two if not three suit cases no matter were they go? I closed the trunk and once I did so the taxi driver speed off. Well then.

"That Bastered!" Annabeth cursed. I couldn't help but stand there with my mouth open. This was a first; I have never heard her use such a colorful word. She looked at me and saw my expression.

"What? He almost ran over my foot!" She yelled. I just blinked. Wow, now who dose that remind me of… oh now I know who! She looked up and blinked a couple of times.

"That's your parent's house?" She asked. I turned around and took in the familiar two story, beachside cottage.

"Yep, this is where I grew up." Then I saw a couple of cars parked in the back. I held back a sigh. Of course they would have a welcome back party. Annabeth seemed to notice this. Her nose scrunched up in discuss. She looked cute with her nose all… Erasing thought from memory, erasing thought.

"I hate surprises." She grumbled. I snorted.

"Join the club." I mumbled. She sighed.

"Well at least we won't have to wait on telling them about the engagement." She said and started to walk towards the cottage. What? I grabbed her by the arm.

"Whoa what?" I managed to get out. She gave me a look and I suddenly felt very stupid.

"Why not? Everyone would be here right? Why not tell everyone now?" She asked. Ok now I feel very stupid.

"Oh." I must have looked like a gapping fish. She rolled her eyes. She seems to do that a lot. She then led the way to the house. I followed her from behind and I couldn't help but look at her. How her black dress pants along with her purple dress shirt fit her every curve. Hey, Im a guy! Annabeth lifted her hand in the air and snapped her finger. She motioned for me to come closer. What the hell? I jogged to catch up with her and slowed down to match her pace and walked beside her.

"Stop looking at my ass." She said in a motto tone voice. I tried to hide my blush. Damn it! How the hell did she know I was looking at her… never mind. We walked, or power walked, to the front door. When we got to the door I put my hand on the door knob.

"At lest try to act surprised." I told her. She sighed and smiled with fake enthusiasm. Ehh good enough. I then opened the door.

"Surprise!" It was a full house. I could recognize some people from town along with family and friends. They all cheered and clapped.

"Hey! What are you guys doing here?" I asked forcing a smile. My mom then walked forward and pulled me into a hug.

"I've missed you so much!" She squeezed me with all the strength she had. She pulled back and held me back at arms length. Her brown ((( A/N are her eyes brown? Or…?))) Eyes were bright and as she smiled small wrinkles creased at her eyes. Her brown hair had a few out of place gray strands. Just then Grandma Rhea came up to me. Her white hair was short and went down to her shoulder. She was short and her head came up to about half-way to my chest. Her dark eyes as bright as ever. She might have been going on 90 but she had no wrinkles on her face. I smiled and pulled her in for a hug.

"How's my favorite grandson?" She asked. I laughed.

"Don't let the others know about that." I laughed, mentioning my cousins or more like her other grandchildren. She snorted and waved her hand like 'who cares what they think.'

"Who's this?" My mom asked motioning to Annabeth. I turned around and saw Annabeth standing there awkwardly with a small smile on her face.

"Mom, Gran Gran. This is Annabeth." I told them, putting my hand behind Annabeth's back motioning her forward. She shuffled forward and smiled. She offered her hand to them.

"Hi." She spoke shyly, with a small smile on her face.

"It's nice to meet you." Gran Gran Rhea said taking Annabeth into a hug. Annabeth stood there awkwardly for a moment before slowly wrapping her arms around her petit frame. I tried not to laugh at the sight. Gran Gran pulled back and smiled at her. Rhea whispered something to her that I couldn't quiet catch. Annabeth blushed and looked down at her shoes, sorry I mean heals.

"Well then it was nice to meet you Annabeth." Mom said to Annabeth. She then walked over to me." Be a gentleman and introduce her to everyone." She whispered.

"Everyone?" I asked her. Ok, ok yeah I whined but you will know why later. She gave me a stern look.

"Yes and I mean it." She spoke seriously but gave me a smile before she left. I heard the clicking of heels.

"What should I call her?" Annabeth asked.

"Call who?" I asked. I looked back in time to see her roll her eyes.

"Your mom seaweed brain." She said. Oh.

"You can call her mom or Sally. She'll answer to both." I smiled. She punched me in the shoulder and did it hurt.

"Ouch!"

"Well that's what you get for being a cocky idiot!" She said in a deadly tone. A shiver of fear ran up my spine.

"Might as well introduce you to the family, honey." She hit me again.

I led her around the house meeting mostly Nabors that lived close by. Of course trying to avoid certain someone's. I turned around to look at Annabeth when it happened. Two hands popped out of no were and Poked Annabeth, taking her by surprise. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. The proper and oh so strict Annabeth Chase squealed. It was high pitch and held a resemblance to the a sound of a mouse. She jumped and turned around to see who the culprit was. Then she did something I would have never expected her to do.

"Oh My God!" She then screamed like a, well, a girl. I moved my head to get a closer look as to who it was.

"Oh My God!" I said but in a voice of horror. They found me. Thalia stuck her tongue out at me and Nico was right beside Thalia giving me a creepy smile.

"Hey cuzz!" Nico yelled causing everyone to look. I looked up at the ceiling.

"Why me?" I asked anyone that was willing to listen. Nico walked over to me and patted on the back.

"Who's this fine lady?" He asked motioning to Annabeth.

"Annabeth. Annabeth Chase." I hissed. He pointed at her and then me… then her again.

"You mean your boss?" He asked. I nodded. His jaw was now on the floor.

"Thalia how do you know…?" She cut me off.

"Annabeth's my pin pal from Greece. We've been friends since we were seven. It wasn't until when she was eighteen that we got to meet each other. Ever since then we've been best friends." She explained. My head hurts.

"Am I the only one that didn't get what she just said?" Nico asked.

"Nope." I said plopping the 'p'.

"Ok good just wondering." Nico said. That earned us both a slap up against the head.
