Hello, this is Tammy!

I've decided to start a new FanFic. It's a MaximumRide x PercyJacksonandtheOlympians crossover, in the fabulous city of Las Vegas!

Please review and tell me what you think.

This is after MAX and The Last Olympian.

Enjoy~

Annabeth POV

I looked up at the gargantuan lion statue towering above me. Behind it, in large block print, MGM was printed onto a building. The building was greenish, and it looked like a huge staircase was running down the front. INGENIOUS design.

I behind me, where a smaller version of the Eiffel Tower was illuminated by strong orange lights. There was a huge screen that had a video of a couple making out on it… Gross. But the rest of the building was amazing – it was shockingly similar to the Eiffel tower itself, but if you examined closely, you could see some jazzing-up that you could risk since the building was smaller.

And then, there was that huge castle, with red and blue tops and flags everywhere. It was called Exalibur.

Guess where I was? Las Vegas.

It was the land of amazing architecture, cheaters who eventually got what they deserved, and… ahem. Inappropriate flyers EVERYWHERE.

Yeah. That was something I could definitely do without, especially when a guy handed one to Percy, and he TOOK IT!

Which would explain why I was currently walking behind him, with Thalia, rather than beside him, holding his hand.

He, of course, was sulking now, with his arms crossed. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw all the water around us acting suspiciously angry. I rolled my eyes.

"What?" Thalia demanded, giving me her famous 'don't lie to me' look.

I rolled my eyes again, and said, "Nothing."

"Don't give me that crap," she said, frowning.

I sighed. "You really wanna know?"

She started drumming her fingers on her leg impatiently. "Spill."

"It's Percy," I admitted, biting my bottom lip.

When it was clear that I wouldn't continue, she said, "And…?"

"Look at the water," I said softly, gesturing around us.

She smiled a bit. "You've seen his dad's mood swings, right? This is nothing compared to that."

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Since when did you become the optimistic one?" I asked.

She laughed softly, and then shrugged.

"I think he should join us," I suggested after a few minutes silence. I was getting annoyed by all the guys trying to hand pictures of prostitutes to Percy.

So, let me introduce everything to you – It had been 2 weeks since the Titan vs. Gods war, and things were calming down. Me and Percy were officially together and happy about it (save for that incident today).

So, why were we here? Chiron had allowed for the gang (as in Percy, me, Thalia, and Grover) to go on a little trip to Las Vegas.

"And… We're here!" Thalia announced loudly. Percy turned around to look at us. I noticed how his gaze lingered a bit on me before he looked towards the hotel.

Luxor.

It was a pyramid. Definition of amazing architecture, amazing design.

"So, what would you rather gawk at, that building or me?" Percy's voice caught me off-guard.

I paused, unable to come up with a witty comeback.

He raised an eyebrow, and after a moment of awkward silence, Thalia burst out laughing.

"Percy…" she said, between laughing fits. "You're… so… desperate…"

I rolled my eyes, and couldn't help giggling along with her.

Percy blushed a little, and tried to change the subject. "So…" he said.

Yeah. Key word – tried.

"You kids need help?" came a deep male voice.

We quickly spun around, expecting to see, for example, maybe Thalia's dad, or Percy's dad. But it was only a security guard, dressed in a tuxedo and sunglasses.

"Oh yeah, we're, um, checking in at this hotel," I stammered.

He grunted, and waved us through.

"Demigod," Percy muttered.

"That would suck," I said absent-mindedly. "Being a demigod and having to live a security guard."

"Minor god," Thalia said, shrugging.

I smacked her lightly. "Remember the new rules? Minor gods will be appreciated just as much!" I exclaimed.

Thalia just rolled her eyes. She could get really arrogant sometimes. Just because she was the daughter of Zeus did NOT mean that she could disrespect anyone else.

"Umm… so you guys want to go inside now?" Percy said awkwardly, scratching the back of his head. Gods he looked hot. Wait what? I did not say that.

We quickly strode into the hotel, made sure there weren't any monsters, and walked up the desk. Wow. I mean, I'd been a bit preoccupied, but this lobby was beyond amazing. There were pillars on the wall, and the entire lobby was golden. Egyptian-style plants and mini-pyramids were stationed around the GIGANTIC lobby. This was why I really wanted to come here. I needed some inspiration in redesigning Olympus.

"Um, 2 rooms please?" Percy asked, giving the receptionist a flirty smile.

"Of course, sir," she said, winking at him. Blech. She was, like, 30! Her hair was obviously dyed auburn, and she practically dipped her face in foundation. I wanted to punch the living daylights out of her.

I must have tensed, because Thalia chuckled softly next to me.

"Isn't Grover supposed to be meeting us?" I wondered aloud.

"Yes," came a voice from behind me.

"Ahh!" I exclaimed, jumping into the air, and instantly pulling out my dagger.

"Jeez, relax, it's just me!" Grover yelped, trying to back away from the point of my blade.

"Owned by a girl," Percy muttered. I don't think I was supposed to hear that (and I certainly didn't enjoy it!) but I just let it slide.

"Can we hurry up and get our rooms already?" Thalia groaned impatiently.

A chorus of Yeah's and Mmm-hmm's came from the rest of us. We headed towards the elevator.

When the first elevator opened, we raced towards it, and dove into it right before the doors closed. (A/N: There's a LOT of elevators. It takes, like 10 seconds to get to the elevator if you're standing in the wrong spot.)

Then, laughing, we realized that there were 2 girls already in here – one was an African American girl who was about 14 years old. The other was a girl who was around 9 years old, and had shockingly golden hair and blue eyes. She looked so cute and innocent.

"Hi!" the innocent little girl said.

I smelled her scent… Definitely a demigod. So was the other girl. Oh gods.

She looked confused for a moment. Then, the other girl looked confused too.

That was really weird.

"Hi," I said back to her, smiling my most motherly smile.

"What's your name?" she asked, showing a row of perfect teeth.

"Annabeth. What's yours?" I responded.

"Ariel."

"Hi Ariel," I cooed back to her.

I frowned at Thalia, Grover, and Percy. There were just standing there. Awkwardly. Looking in a separate direction. I wished that they would say something.

It seemed as if Ariel read my mind, because as soon as that thought passed my mind, she tugged on Percy's shirt.

He looked down, and smiled (it looked more like a grimace) at her.

But she still smiled oh-so-innocently back. I was starting to get the feeling that she wasn't as angelic as she seemed, though. I couldn't tell why, but… Something wasn't right about her. She seemed too pure.

"What's your name?" Ariel asked, looking up at Percy with those big blue eyes like sapphires.

"Percy," he responded, smiling at her genuinely this time.

"What about you?" she said, looking at Grover.

"Grover," he responded.

"That's a cool name!" Ariel exclaimed, clapping her hands together. I could tell that he was completely under her spell.

Ariel didn't even need to ask Thalia.

"I'm Thalia!" she exclaimed, kneeling down to be face-to-face with Ariel. Aww… Thalia was such a softie.

By this time, I could tell that Ariel was a bit freaked out, even though I had no idea why she would be.

"Oh yeah! Everyone, I'm Monique, and I, like, totally love fashion. Actually, I think that we're going to go shopping tomorrow at that indoor mall by the Caesar place? I wonder who named it Caesar. I mean, is it named after the salad? I never pay attention in school because it's so boring, and then there's too many hot guys to – mmff," the African American girl said. Wow, she could talk! I was glad Ariel put a hand over her mouth.

"Hey Monique," I responded. She beamed at me, but didn't say anything more, thank the gods!

The elevator reached the 29th floor (we weren't cool enough to be on the top floor), and we all got out, except Ariel and Monique.

"Where are you guys going?" I asked out of curiosity.

"30th floor," Monique responded.

"We like windows," Ariel added with a smug look on her face.

"Lots of windows," Monique agreed.

"Okay…" I replied, a bit fazed at their reactions.

We walked down the hall, oddly silent. Thalia was in the lead, and Grover was sulking behind us.

"I miss Juniper already," he complained.

"I'm sorry," I said back. It was a knee-jerk reaction; I knew he would start saying that soon.

"Annabeth?" Percy whispered in my ear, slipping his hand into mine.

My heart started going into overdrive. I mean, we were together now, but my heart still pounded every time I saw him. It would never, ever get old. I just knew it.

"Mm?" I responded, looking up at him. I wanted to be mad at him for the incident with a flyer, but I... couldn't. He was too perfect.

"This is our room," he said, giving me that cute lopsided grin.

"Umm…" I responded. Nice job.

He slid the card into the scanner, and opened the door.

The room was really big. It was a Deluxe suite, and there was a huge window in the side that overlooked the Vegas strip.

We found our bags on the bed, with a slip of paper that read "Hermes Delivery Service" on them.

Oh yeah – get this. There was only one bed. Thanks, Aphrodite.

"You're welcome!" a preppy voice said as a very pretty woman appeared in front of us, while applying lip gloss. She was wearing a revealing dress, and silver stripper boots.

I groaned inwardly.

"So, I bought you some new clothes," Aphrodite continued, looking at me. "Well, actually, I kind of replaced all your old clothes. I really couldn't stand them."

I growled. "Seriously?"

"Of course! Take a look for yourself! Now, if you would excuse me, I'm going to go clubbing."

Then, she disappeared, leaving a suspiciously strong smell of Chanel perfume.

I grudgingly walked over to my bag, dragging Percy along for support, and unzipped it.

I dug through all the stuff in there, and realized that there was none of my old clothes at all (as in a camp half-blood shirt and jeans).

Then, I realized what Aphrodite had replaced them with.

Oh. My. Freaking. Gods.

How's that for the first chapter? The next chapter will be centered around MR!

I had to do Annabeth POV just to express the amazing architecture there. If you've been there... ~sigh~. Amazing. Except for all the drunk people.

You know what to do now -- Review, Favorite, Story Alert.

Hugs, Fang, and Nico,
