A/N: This is my first story ever, so please review, but first check my profile, point number one before reading this. I do accept anonymous reviews, FYI. But also give me any advice or ideas, and I will try to work them into a oneshot. This oneshot is in Camp Jupiter, and starts where Rick Riordan left off in the sneek peek. If you haven't read it yet, here's the site: disneybooks/heroes-of-olympus/the-mark-of-athena/. Read it. I swear, I was so exited, I lay thinking in my bed the night afterwards about it. So anyway, after this long authour note, here's the oneshot:
Disclaimer: Rick battled me in thumb-restling, and he won the the plot and charcters of PJO and HoO. I didn't…
Annabeth II
Once she got off the Argo II, Annabeth was really nervous. Will the Romans kill them? Will they be friendly? What will I do when I see Percy?... Well, you get it. But she asked herself the most important question over and over again: Will Percy remember her?
A pretty girl stepped forward. "Welcome Greeks," she said. "I am Reyna, praetor of the Twelth Legion. We got your holographic message, thank you for warning us." Leo grinned at the metion of his project.
But Annabeth wasn't paying attention to any of that, which was nothing like her. Instead, her eyes scanned the crowd for Him. When she saw a guy with black hair and sea-green eyes, she grinned. Seaweed brain, she thought. Percy was smiling like crazy. When the Reyna girl finished her speech, she stepped aside for the two groups to meet eachother. For a moment, nobody did anything and just stood there in an akward silence. Annabeth thought: Well, somebody's got to do something. So she stepped towards Percy. She met his eyes.
"Uhmm…" She said, at a loss of words for once, after all of that planning. "I don't know if you remember me, but you and I used to be best frien-"
Percy cut her off by grabbing her face and kissing her.
She should've hugged him, maybe even kissed him again.
But she slapped him.
A collective gasp sounded from 3 Greek and about 200 Roman heroes, but all Percy said was: "I kind of expected that" and grinned after rubbing his cheek. After that, Annabeth hugged Percy.
"Don't ever leave me again, Seaweed Brain. I was going out of my mind." Annabeth wispered in his ear. She pulled away and asked him a question she was dying to know.
"When did you remember me?"
Percy laughed and said, "Even Hera couldn't make me forget you!"*
Everybody around them just stared in stunned silence. The Romans thinking : Why is our praetor kissing a random Greek girl? And Piper, Jason and Leo thinking: So this is the great Percy Jackson. And: Wow, they must really love eachother.
Piper cleared her throat after a while and said: "Well, we're all happy for you, but after that akward moment" she said, giving Percy and Annabeth a look,"Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite, or Venus."
The Romans all whispered and bombarded her with questions.
"Are you Tristan McLean's daughter?" one said
"McLean as in Tristan McLean?" another asked.
"Do they have Kool-Aid on the set?" guess who said that.
"Romans!" Reyna said. "Silence!" Everybody went silent.
The Reyna girl nodded, but she was stealing glances at Jason, and at his intertwined fingers with Pipers. She looked angry for a minute, but then her face went back to the usual expressionless way. Jason had told Annabeth, Piper and Leo about Reyna, and how they were almost a couple. Piper wasn't happy and just left. Annabeth, Jason, and Leo stayed behind and talked about strategies, the Argo II, and the Roman camp, that Jason called Camp Jupiter.
"Yes, yes, she's Tristan McLean's daughter. But please don't get on your knees bowing in front of her, it'll only make her head big" Leo said.
"And you are…?" Reyna asked.
"I'm Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus or Vulcan, and a fire user." His hand burst into flames. All the Romans gasped—again.
"Seriously, do you gasp at everything?" Leo asked
A girl around 14 years make a strangled little sound at Leo saying his last name. What was that about? Annabeth wondered. "I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena or Minerva, and Architect of Olymus." Annabeth said.
Reyna nodded.
To the new campers, I'm Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, and former praetor."
Percy let go of Annabeth's hand for a minute to shake Jason's hand. They studied eachother, and then Percy smiled.
"I've heard a lot about you here. You made quite an impression."
Jason grinned. "So did you. You would hear your name every few minutes."
"Now did you?" Percy raised his eyebrows at Annabeth.
"Shut up, Jason, or you'll make his head even bigger." Annabeth said.
Percy pouted, but he still looked hot to Annabeth.
"Oh, one more thing, you can have the position as praetor back now, I don't really want it. My home is Camp Half-Blood."
Jason grinned, but some scrawny kid with a teddy bear and a knife came forward.
"Exactly!" He yelled. "We do NOT want filthy Greeks in our camp!"
Annabeth narrowed her eyes at him. She instantly didn't like him.
"Okay, then why did the 'filthy Greeks' save Olympus, wander through the Labyrinth, and find the Golden Fleece, the master bolt, and Hades' Helm of Darkness?" Normally Annabeth wouldn't just announce that like that, but this guy was really annoying her. "So, what have you done so far, except for hating us for no reason? We have to work together if we have to defeat Gaia. Who are you, just insulting us like that?"
The teddybear guy looked taken aback. Then he sniffed, and held u his nose. "I am Octavian, augur of the Twelth Legion."
You didn't answer my question of what you have done."
"I can tell the future." Octavian said.
"And other than that?"
Octavian said nothing.
"That's what I thought." Annabeth turned away and noticed everybody staring at her. Some in awe, but most in annoyance. Great. She thought. Five minutes in the Roman camp and I'm already behaving like an idiot. Mental facepalm.
There was one guy that walked next to Percy when they were walking towards the Argo II. Thankfully, he changed the subject.
"So, you're Jason? They talk about you a lot here." He gave Annabeth a pointed look, and she thanked gave him a silent message with her eyes. Thank you.
"Yes, I am. And you are…?"
"I'm Frank Zhang, son of Mars."
"OK, nice to meet you Frank. And Hazel!"
"Good seeing you alive again", she said, and to the others: "I'm Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto"
"What?!" Annabeth was really confused. "What about the oath?!"
"Annabeth, they don't know anything about that here. We can discuss that later."
"But… Okay. Let's go. But o none condition. You have to tell them everything, from your first quest untill now. You too, Jason."
They both didn't look like they wanted to, but they probably knew there was no discussing with Annabeth.
"Okay." Percy said. "Let's go."
So this is my first fanfic ever. Like I said, go easy on me but please don't be afraid of giving advice, I want to get better!
*Totally cheesy and overused, but I don't care!
Sorry for ending it here, but I just know my senate meeting will suck
Hopefully you liked it!
