“Yo, demigods, we’ll be landing in about five minutes. But then again, Piper and he were kind of dating. Maybe he had a plan to get them captured. Annabeth thought again how perfect he always seemed. Jason glanced over, his electric blue eyes watching the every moment of the two girls. “It’ll be okay, Annabeth,” Piper assured her. As Annabeth saw the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, her breathing kicked up a notch and her palms started sweating. He stared at the California landscape under them. He was shaking slightly from the five cups of coffee he drank that morning. He had bags under his eyes from many sleepless nights, trying to finish the Argo II. Leo was tapping buttons so fast his fingers looked like a blur. We only want to talk…” Her charmspeaking almost made Annabeth drop her knife and settle in for a nice, cozy conversation. Every once in a while, she tugged on her braids, murmuring what she was going to say to the Romans. She had faded blue jeans, ratty sneakers, and her typical camp shirt. Annabeth kept thinking when they landed, he would cry, “Romans, I brought you a very useful warship and prisoners!” He looked down at the sword he was going to use, somewhat disgusted with it. Over his Camp Half-Blood shirt, he wore a toga.

Still, Annabeth couldn’t shake off the feeling that Jason could be evil. Hera’s gamble had taken Percy and traded him with Jason Grace, son of Jupiter. Six impossible months had gone by, but somehow she’d survived it without her boyfriend, Percy.

"What about your gun?" Leo called after her.Annabeth was ready. "If you'll excuse me again, I'm going to look for my boyfriend." Annabeth waved her fingers like, toodle-loo and walked off. "It'll be a miracle if they've accepted him as it is! The Romans don't exactly like Neptune. "Wasn't asking you! Can I? Please? Please, Jason, pleeeaaase?" Annabeth pleaded, doing her big-grey-eyes face. You will address New Rome when it comes to that." In Percy's absence, you are the leader of the camp. By the way, repair boy, you didn't even get the message right! Annabeth, you can't go directly to Percy."Īnnabeth opened her mouth to speak, but she was shushed by Jason. "If you two children are done screaming at each other, we're about to land. "If you'll excuse me, I need to go hide my pistol again!" Annabeth yelled into Leo's face. "Actually, Leo, her joke was pretty good," Piper said passing by. I thought I was fire resistant, but you just burned me." "Once again, Annabeth Chase has scarred me for life. "You know what's going to be looked down upon in all cultures if you don't shut up?" Annabeth asked. "Yeah, but death-by-girlfriend is probably looked down upon in Roman culture." "That's what this mission is FOR!" Annabeth said, her voice rising with every word. "Anyway, you can't do that! If they find out he's related to the Greeks." "Ouch, best comeback ever." Leo rolled his eyes. Are you sure he wasn't talking about a certain flamethrower?" "-Jason said that you can not go insane and basically hug Percy to death." Don't kill me with that nine-millimeter pistol you've got hidden in your drawer, but-" Leo began. When they were about to land in California, Leo-who gave idiots a bad name-had given Annabeth news that would practically ruin her anticipating mood. What really sucked? The fact that living with Leo for half a week might not be worth it.Įvery day, Annabeth asked Jason if he had his memories back. When you're stuck on a flying boat with a psychotic son of Hephaestus, you begin to wonder if it was worth the torture to get to your lost-for-eight-months boyfriend.Īnnabeth had lost Percy a few months ago, but it had felt like forever to her.
