Well, this is one summer after Last Olympian, and Percy and Annabeth are just chilling…then something happens (No! Sick-minded people!).

Chapter 2: Biggest 'What if?'

I was sitting on the beach at Camp with Percy, staring out onto the waves. We hadn't spoken since we sat, and I could only hear the water. My head was resting on his shoulder, and I was thinking about what I would do if he was gone.

"Percy, I am glad you're here." I sounded really cheesy, but I didn't care.

"Right back at you." He laughed. Then, I remembered when he was gone.

"Where did you go when you left that one time, after Mount St. Helen's?" I lied.

"Um, no where." He seemed nervous.

"No! you were somewhere! I was worried sick, Seaweed Brain! We thought you were dead! Never coming back!" I pulled away from him, "Tell me the truth! Where were you?" I wanted him to tell me that he was on Calypso's island when we thought he was dead.

"I was nowhere important." He trailed off.

"Yes! It is important! You were gone! Calypso tried to make you stay with her!" I let it slip out that I knew.

"How did you know?" he stared at me.

"Well, it was obvious. How could you even think about wanting to stay with her?" I was yelling at Percy now.

"Annabeth! So what if that is my biggest 'what if?' So what if she gave me that moonlace flower and I kept it to remember how beautiful she was! Who really cares?" he yelled back at me. That made me snap. How beautiful she was? To remember her? His biggest 'what if?'

"I care, Percy! You were gone! I wouldn't have been able to live with myself!" I ran off, and tried to keep tears from falling down my face. Percy and I didn't usually yell like that. Percy didn't usually act like that. And I wasn't usually that emotional.

I didn't hate Percy. I…I loved him. He was just such a Seaweed Brain. Sometimes, his stupid acts made me smile, but other times, like now, I didn't even want to talk to him.

*~*~*~*Percy POV*~*~*~*

She wouldn't talk to me, at all, after last night. She didn't sit by me at meals, didn't make any eye contact, nothing. She sat there, not talking, not smiling, nothing. I was angry that I told her that I missed Calypso, and that she was beautiful. The truth was, when I was there, I was only thinking about how Annabeth was even more beautiful that Calypso, and that I really wanted to get back to her.

I went to my classes, and tried to talk to Annabeth. She was ignoring me, big time. She was talking to Rachel more than she was to me.

At dinner one night, I saw Annabeth leave to go to her cabin. I got up and followed her. When she was about to get into her cabin, I flung her over my shoulder and she began to scream.

"Jackson! Put me down right now! Percy! Stop!" she tried to hurt me, but thank the gods for my invulnerability.

"No! And stop kicking me, Annabeth!" I took her all the way to the beach, her protesting that she could sue.

I stood on the edge of the dock with her still over my shoulder.

"Percy! This looks so wrong!" then, she recognized where she was, "Oh no you don't! Percy, if you…" I cut her off and dove into the water. I let Annabeth get soaking wet, and then I made an air bubble, really deep down under the water.

"Percy Jackson! I will hurt you!" her hair hung in her eyes, and se looked angry at me.

"Annabeth, just listen to me."

"No. I refuse. Why don't you just go talk with Calypso?" she turned from me.

"Annabeth, just stop. Listen!" I was getting angry.

"Why should I? you love Calypso…"

"No! I don't! The entire time I was with her, I though of you!" I interrupted her.

"But you said she was more beautiful." She barely whispered. She was acting so unlike herself.

"Yes, she was, but looking at her I thought about how you are even more beautiful than her. Or anything. Or anyone else." She slowly turned around toward me. "I love you Annabeth Chase, and only you." I put my hands on her shoulders, and forced her to look at me. A smile played at the corner of her lips.

"What, Wise Girl?" I was confused now. I had just told her I loved her, and she was laughing.

"That sounded really cheesy." She smiled, and hugged me.
