Chapter 1: An Idea

Percy's POV

I had an idea. It was crazy, but it just might work. I went to see Rachel.

"Hi Percy." Rachel smiled as I walked into her cave.

"Hi Rachel. I would like to make a proposal to you." I said.

"I always thought you'd 'make a proposal' to Annabeth." Rachel joked.

"Oh, I already have that planned. I meant a different proposal." I waved it off.

"You have a plan to propose to Annabeth?" Rachel raised her eyebrows. "What would you say?"

"You know how she likes architecture? Well, I wanted to say something like, I want to build something permanent with you." I smiled.

"That's cute, do it. So what did you really want?" Rachel giggled.

"I want to put my stories about my quests down in some books." I said. "Do you think you could help me?"

"No offense, but why me?" Rachel asked.

"Because you're good at visualizing." I wiggled my eyebrows.

"Ha ha ha, very funny." Rachel rolled her eyes.

"Besides, isn't your Uncle Rick a writer?" I asked.

"Yeah, so?" Rachel questioned.

"He can take credit for all the story writing. It would be like having someone write my biography. Except it will be in the fiction section." I shrugged.

"Your serious?" Rachel seemed slightly confused.

"Think of it as being a way to cope with my bad memories. There are multiple things that gave me nightmares, especially Tartarus." I replied.

"Okay then, I'll call him tomorrow." Rachel agreed. "I wonder what people will do when the books are published?"

"It depends on how much detail goes into them." I smirked. "I know a few embarrassing things about people."

Rachel smiled before asking me more questions about Annabeth.
