A/N Here's a one-shot I thought of, based on Percabeth. So, there's some things you need to know about this one-shot:

Percy, Annabeth, Luke, Thalia, Nico, and Bianca are all alive and mortal.

They all live in Manhatten, and most of them are 20. Luke is 21, Kelli is 20, Nico is 10, and Bianca is 18.

They all own a house, or live with their cousins/friends.

Percy and Annabeth have known each other since they were 3 years old

Luke entered their lives 3 years before this happened

It's seven o'clock at night, and one can see the figure of Percy Jackson walking down the street from his job at a restaurant that is within walking distance of his house. He approaches an alleyway, and hears some moaning. He thinks nothing of it until he notices that one of the people there is Luke Castellan, his worst enemy and the boyfriend and the love of Annabeth Chase, the girl Percy loves. Without thinking, Percy takes a picture, and doesn't realize the flash was on until after the picture is taken. Due to the flash, Luke stops making out with the girl, whom Percy now realizes if Kelli, Luke's neighbor.

"Jackson," snarled Luke, before Percy darted out of the alleyway and ran towards his house. Luke chased him, yelling things that may or may not have been true, though Percy couldn't tell because he was too focused on running to comprehend what Luke is saying. Just as he reached the house of his cousin, Thalia, he heard a bang, and felt a pain in his stomach. Fortunately, Thalia just happened to be coming out of her house to throw out the thrash, when she heard the bang and noticed Percy crumpling.

"Oh gods," said Thalia, as she dropped the bag and ran to Percy. She checked his body, and noticed a bullet wound on his back, near his stomach. She found his phone, since her's was in her house, and called 911.

"Hello, 911," said the lady, "what is your emergency?"

"Hello," said Thalia, "my cousin just got shot in front of my house. I don't see who shot him, but I got a good idea. Can you please send an ambulance quickly, he's losing a lot of blood."

"Okay," said the lady, "hold on tight ma'am, I'll pinpoint your position and send assistance. Meanwhile, listen to what I say and follow the directions carefully."

"Of course," said Thalia, as she did exactly what the lady told her to do. The ambulance comes, and takes Percy away, along with Thalia. On the way to the ambulance, Thalia calls Percy's mom, Sally, his stepdad, Paul, Annabeth, and his two other cousins, Nico and Bianca DiAngelo, and they all agree to meet at the hospital.

Thalia waits outside the Emergency Room when everyone she called arrived there.

"What happened?" asked Sally

"Percy got shot," said Thalia, "and I think I have a good idea who. He's now in the ER."

"Who would want to shoot Percy?" asked Bianca

"Luke," said Thalia

"Luke?" asked Annabeth, disbelievingly, "I know they hate each other, but Luke wouldn't do such a thing. Luke wouldn't dare try to kill my best friend."

"Best friend," snorted Bianca, "Annabeth, the last time you and Percy spent time together as best friends was before you got together with Luke. Ever since, you guys drifted apart, and the way I see it, you two are barely friends as it is."

"Well, it's not like I wouldn't have spent time with him," said Annabeth, "all he had to do was ask."

"Annabeth, Annabeth, Annabeth," said Bianca, "He tried to ask many times. Each time he would try to ask, you would mention that you had a date or something with Luke, and that you couldn't miss it. How was he going to ask you if you kept telling him that?"

"I don't know," said Annabeth, looking down sadly, since it was true.

"Girls," said Sally, bringing them back to the issue at hand.

"Hey, guys," called out Nico, who had been using Percy's phone to play with, "I found something on Percy's phone that might help."

"What is it?" asked Paul, as they crowded around Nico

"A photo and a video," said Nico, "from just before he got shot."

Nico pulled up the photo, which was a picture of Luke and Kelli getting shot.

"That can't be true," said Annabeth, "he told me that he was getting something to drink."

"Well that doesn't look like he's getting a drink," said Thalia, which then made Annabeth glare at her

"What about the video?" asked Bianca

"You can't see much," said Nico, "and you can barely hear Luke, but here it is."

They played the video, and the most they could make out was that Luke was mad at Percy for taking the picture, Luke didn't want Percy to show Annabeth the picture, Luke threatened Percy with death if he showed Annabeth this, Luke said that if he showed Annabeth, she'd be devastated, and that Percy could prevent stopping the girl he loves from hating him if he just deleted the picture. The video ended just as Percy got shot, and fell to the ground, and they could hear Thalia saying "Oh my gods." In the background just before the video ended.

"I can't believe this," said Annabeth, before quickly changing her mind, "no wait, I can. Luke would always tense up whenever I spoke about Percy, and he would always change the subject whenever I started talking abot Percy."

"How often do you talk about Percy to Luke?" asked Bianca

"At least twice in a conversation," blushed Annabeth, "I think."

"Girl you're crazy," said Thalia, "you love Percy and you don't even realize it."

"No I don't," said Annabeth, "I used to love Luke, but now I hate the guy."

"Annabeth," said Bianca, "what's Percy's favorite color?"

"Green," replied Annabeth instantly, "but I don't see—"

"What's his favorite food?" interrupted Thalia

"His mom's blue cookies," said Annabeth, "why are you asking me—"

"Name one thing you like about him," said Sally, catching on on what the other two are doing and wanting to help Annabeth

"I love how his hair falls perfectly on his face without him trying, even if it looks like he just woke up from bed," said Annabeth, "I love how his eyebrows get scrunched up when he gets worried, it makes him look cute. I love how he would always surprises me with the most perfect gifts on my birthday, or any day actually, even if I don't expect it. I love how he would try different things just because I asked him to. I love how he would let me and only me call him Seaweed Brain, and how he'd only call me Wise Girl. I love how my name rolls off from his lips, as if he were the only one who could say it properly."

"Annabeth," said Paul, "Sally just asked you one, and you gave her eight, and those weren't even things you liked about him; they were things you loved about him. If those aren't something that shows true love, I don't know what is."

Annabeth was silent for a while as she absorbed this, her face showing an expression of complete shock.

"Oh my gods," she whispered after a while, before sitting on the chair and placing her head in her hands, "I do love that Seaweed Brain. I don't even like Luke the way I love him, and now he must hate me. I know I would if I knew I love my best friend, and he was in love with someone else. I probably hurt him more in the past year than I have before that. I am such an idiot."

"Hey, now," said Thalia, "you're not an idiot. No idiot would be able to graduate from Harvard within two years and get an Architectural Doctorate degree as well.."

"Yeah," said Bianca, "and guess what, Percy's also graduated from Cornell in the past two years, and is got a PhD in marine biology."

"What?" asked Annabeth, "When did this happen?"

"It was when you left Percy at that restaurant that day to help Luke feel better," said Thalia, "Percy told me you left before your drink even came."

"I am such an idiot," said Annabeth, "I can't believe I let myself think that I loved someone I knew for three years, and belived him, over someone I've known since I was 3. Now, I'm sure he's going to hate me. No sane person wouldn't hate me if it happened to them."

"Then you're luck Percy's insane," said Thalia, attempting to cheer her up, "you should know that Percy's love for you hasn't changed ever since he was 16."

"Wha-what?" asked Annabeth, "how could I not notice?"

"Actually," said Sally, "he didn't even know it then. He only realized he loved you, Annabeth, when you guys were 18."

"Then, how come he didn't tell me?" asked Annabeth

"Probably because you were ogling over Luke," said Thalia

"Listen, Annabeth," said Bianca, "the best thing for you to do right now is to apologize to Percy when he gets better, if he does."

"Wait," said Thalia, "I just realized, we can't let Luke go scotch-free after this."

"You're right," said Annabeth, "and I'm sensing you have a plan."

"Oh, yeah, big time," said Thalia, smiling devilishly

"Luke," said Annabeth, as Luke picked up his phone

"Annabeth, where are you?" asked Luke

"I'm at the hospital," said Annabeth, "Can you come? I forgot my purse, and I need some money."

"Why are you at the hospital?" asked Luke

"Percy's in the ER," said Annabeth, "but never mind that, can you bring the money?"

"Sure," said Luke, "I'll come right now."

Annabeth cut the call, and then told everyone, "Luke's on his way. Now, tell me what your big plan is?"

"Easy," said Thalia, "I know a few guys on the police force, and I told them what happened. They agreed to arrest Luke, but they're going to be undercover first. We're going to get Luke to admit what happened before they arrest him."

"Perfect," said Bianca, "are they on the way?"

"They're already here," said Thalia, "but don't ask who they're undercover as, even I don't know."

When Luke arrived, he comes and finds Annabeth, only to see her devastated.

"What did Jackson lie about now?" snarled Luke

"It wasn't Percy who lied to me," said Annabeth, suddenly better than how she was before, "but you Luke. You've lied to me countless times before, just like you lied to me today."

"What are you talking about?" asked Luke

"You know exactly what I'm talking about Luke," said Annabeth, "should I ask Kelli what you were drinking, and where?"

"Are you saying I'm cheating on you?" asked Luke, "you don't even have any proof."

"Then why is there a picture of you and Kelli making out on Percy's phone?" asked Annabeth, "and a video, well more like audio, of you telling Percy not to tell me of your affair with Kelli, and how you only want me so you can gain in popularity?"

"He was supposed to delete those," said Luke

"It wasn't Percy's fault," said Annabeth, "it was never Percy's fault. All those times you said that Percy fell or tripped or something, that was all you beating him up. You had no reason to hate Percy."

"He was going to take you away from me," said Luke

"So I'm a thing now?" asked Annabeth, causing Luke to realize his mistake, "I'm just something you can own so you can seem cooler and all that? Well guess what Luke, we're over. And I'll be sure to talk to Kelli about how you're a two-timing cheat."

"Ma'am, we'll take it form here," said two guys, who seemed to be twins, one dressed as a nurse, the other as a doctor.

They arrested him, and dragged him out as he said, "You can't do this to me. You'll pay for this, you hear me. The police community in this town will no longer be recognizable once I'm done with you."

"Excuse me," said a doctor, behind Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, Bianca, Sally, and Paul, "I, uh, didn't want to interrupt earlier, because it seemed important, but I would just like to let you know that a Perseus Jackson has been successfully healed and is now in a patient room. If you want to see him, please follow me."

They all followed the doctor as he showed them Percy's room. As soon as they entered, they all crowded around Percy, who seemed to becoming conscious. Sally and Annabeth stood near his head, both holding on to each of his hands.

"Am I dreaming?" asked Percy as soon as he wakes up, since his eyes were on Annabeth first, "It's got to be a dream."

"It's not a dream, Seaweed Brain," said Annabeth

"Then am I hallucinating?" asked Percy, "because I'm sure as hell that Annabeth would rather suck her precious Luke's face than be here, even if I've been here for her, and known her, longer than he has."

"It's really me, Seaweed Brain," said Annabeth, getting teary eyed after what he said, "and I'm so sorry for all the torment I must have put you through while I was with Luke."

Percy doesn't respond, instead taking interest in his bedsheets.

"You should know," said Annabeth, "Luke's arrested for attempted murder. I, uh, also broke up with him. I realized that my heart only belongs to one person."

Percy mumbled something, which sounded something like 'great more torture for me' but Annabeth wasn't sure.

"I love you," said Annabeth

Percy instantly snapped his head to look at Annabeth, but after holding her gaze for a while, broke off, mumbling, "She'd never like me that way. She's too perfect, and beautiful. I'd never deserve her. Whoever it is, stop playing with my heart. It hurts enough to know she's not mine, and never will be."

This broke Annabeth's heart as she heard this, and took her chance to prove to him once and for all: she made him face her and kissed him, pouring all her love, regret, and sincerity into it.

"It must be a dream," said Percy, a little daze, once they broke apart.

"It's not a dream, Percy," said Annabeth, smiling a bit for knowing she had such an effect on him, "I, Annabeth Chase, said everything you've heard, and kissed you."

"Why are you kissing me?" asked Percy, "What about Luke?"

"Did you not hear me?" asked Annabeth, slapping his arm lightly, "I broke up with him once I saw the picture of him and Kelli making out on your phone. Plus, your phone somehow took a video, though it didn't show much. It was when Luke was chasing you, and he said some things that made me realize who I really love, and who's been a liar all the time."

"I'm sorry you had to break up because of me," apologized Percy, looking sad as he looked down.

"It's not your fault," said Annabeth, hurt that he would take the blame for something that wasn't really even his fault, "it was my fault for not realizing sooner. Can you forgive me?"

"Only if you do one thing," said Percy

"What's that?" asked Annabeth

"Be my girlfriend," said Percy

"Seaweed Brain!" exclaimed Annabeth, "Of course I would. Even if you proposed to me right now, I would accept."

"I don't have a ring," said Percy, "so you're going to have to wait a while."

"Does the big, bad Marine Biologist need some time to get some money?" asked Annabeth, playfully

"Hey," said Percy, "If anything, it'll be coming out of my architect's paycheck. I need to do a few years of research before I can earn anything."

"Well, why don't we get started on this new relationship first?" asked Annabeth leaning in

"I couldn't agree more," said Percy, before meeting her halfway

Everyone else cooed, but weren't noticed by Annabeth or Percy, as they were in a world their own.

A/N Trivia: Which Percy Jackson characters have made cameo appearances. Leave your answer in the reviews. Any reviewers, no matter if they answered the trivia or not, get this triple chocolate cookie (:::). Not my fault if you can't eat it. Also, for the reason it's here: I figured that if i made any one shots, I'd add it here, so that they're all grouped together. So, if you're wondering why I have deleted the story for this and the next one-shot, you'll know why
