A/N: Hello, sorry for taking such a long time to update, I have been rather busy. I felt like I needed to make it up to you so this chapter is a filler chapter, so I can have time to write the next chapter.
Don't forget to read and review!
Enjoy!
Chapter 11
Percy POV
I realised as I woke up, that Annabeth wasn't in my bed. This slightly disappointed me as I had no one to cuddle but I was also pleased because it must have meant that she didn't have any nightmares. I'm so glad that our nightmares are starting to go away a bit. When we first got out of Tartarus, every night we were plagued with horrible nightmares and even though I enjoy waking up with Annabeth next to me, I'd prefer it be not because she was terrified.
I lay there thinking until someone threw a pillow at my head. I groaned and rolled over throwing the pillow in the direction it came from. I heard a "Dude!" and I smiled in satisfaction. Then us guys, being guys, proceeded to sleep until the girls came in and yelled at us to get up. We all groaned but grudgingly got up. Mum had done the amazing and made blue waffles. I ran to the table and starting loading them onto my plate. Annabeth came and sat next to me. She shook her head and mumbled "Oh, Seaweed Brain." I kissed her on forehead. She smiled and took two waffles. Thalia decided to take advantage of my exposed plate of waffles. She wiped at two of them but I'm very protective of my food. So I slapped her hand. "Ow! Kelp Head." I put a hand around my plate and said "My precious" in a Gollum voice. Everyone laughed at this.
Breakfast passed rather slowly with lots of laughs but then everyone had to go. I felt like a little boy, waving off his friends after a sleepover – tired, slightly sad and dreading the cleaning that would come.
Annabeth and I shut the door after everyone had disappeared around the corner. We slumped on the couch in exhaustion and looked around at the mess that we had created. I looked at Annabeth and I knew she had the same thought as me. "I'll take my room and the dining room if you take the living room?" The mess in the living room was just as bad as both my room and the dining room combined, if worse. "Sure." She sighed knowing the task ahead of her. I trudged to my room and started piling mattresses in the hallway. I threw all the dirty bed sheets in a pile in the hall and once I had finished vacuuming my room, I carried the sheets to the laundry. I put the mattresses in the guest room/Annabeth's study, behind the various pieces of furniture. I trudged back to the dining room and cleared away the dirty dishes and swept away the crumbs around the table. I finished and walked into the living room to see how Annabeth was going. I found her piling the mattresses against the wall. I picked up the dirty bed sheets and put them in the washing machine. We worked together, cleaning the living room.
Eventually we finished, so we plonked down on the couch. I said "I'd rather fight monsters everyday than clean up ever again." She nodded in agreement. We decided that it would be best to watch a movie. So she chose a movie while I made popcorn, more like Mum made popcorn as I can't make anything without it blowing up. I came back with popcorn and I settled down on the couch next to Annabeth.
About halfway through the movie, Annabeth and I fell asleep. I don't know how long we were asleep for but we woke up at about 6ish. We quickly had dinner, with both of us barely being able to stay awake then we went upstairs to my bed. As soon as Annabeth put her head on the pillow, she was asleep. But I lay there for a while thinking about what had happened over the week and soon I was fast asleep.
A/N: Sorry for the really short chapter, I was kind of rushing the end as I wanted to finish it before I went camping. I promise the next chapter will be longer and much better.
