Percy Jackson 17 Chap 1 REDONE

Percy awoke and stretched. Sunlight streamed through his bedroom window and he sat up to peer into the yard. He rather enjoyed their new home, it was not huge, but it sure beat their small apartment they used to live in. The smell of food wafted towards him, and soon he was up, shuffling down the stairs like a zombie. He walked into the kitchen and saw his mom cooking over a frying pan.
"Hey mom." He yawned hungrily.
She tuned to look at him. "Hey Percy." She smiled, the crease lines on her face curling in as she looked at him softly. Then she looked him over. "You'd better go take a shower young man, and get ready."
"Ready? Ready for what?"
She placed her hands on her hips and sighed. "Did you really forget?"
"Forget what?" Percy asked, sitting down at the table.
"No food until you get ready." She scolded. "And geez Percy, today is your twentieth birthday."
Man, how could he forget? That today he was not considered a teen, and that he was still embarrassingly, living with his mother.
"Yeah, sorry." He stood.
She nodded and then looked at the clock. "Percy, you slept in. It's almost noon. I guess that means I slept in too... They'll all be here soon."
"Who will be here?"
"Oh, you know all your closest friends."
"Which according to you are?"
"All of the camp." She winked.
"Mom, that's not safe getting that many demi-gods together in one spot!"
"I know I know, Chiron and I have it all worked out. Trust me." She patted his shoulder. "It will be fine."

She had been right. Percy was showered, but had no time to go into his room and change, so he slipped is pajama's back on.
Outside everyone laughed and talked. His mom was not kidding about the whole camp, well most of it anyway. There were many people not here. After all their small backyard would not fit everybody.
Most of the people there were his close friends, and the cabin leaders. Many other people had shown up as well though. People hugged and congratulated him, laughing and happy to see him.
And Percy was happy to see everyone who was there. However the person he wanted to see the very most more than anyone was his amazing girlfriend, Annabeth. And she was no where in sight. He looked and looked but she was just not there. Did she forget? Did she not want to come? Was she late? Was she eaten alive by a gorgon? Many thoughts ran through his head as he slumped down on the swing.
He put his head in his hands, and his elbows on his knees as he swung back and forth gently with his feet. He felt a slight sweet smelling breeze blow past him, as he sulked.
"Percy!" He sat up at his name being called. He looked around for the voice, and soon saw Racheal's red hair bobbing up and down as she ran towards him.
"Hey." Percy smiled, and held his arms up to her.
"Hey birthday boy." Racheal leaned down and hugged him. When they let go and Percy placed his arms back down she bent down again and kissed his cheek. "Happy birthday seaweed brain." And with that she was off, racing off to one of the other campers who had been calling her over.
It seemed odd to Percy for Racheal to be calling him seaweed brain. He had gotten used to it a long time ago, but not from Racheal. It was something Annabeth, and only Annabeth could call him. However he would never tell anyone that.
He let out a sad sigh, and leaned back on the swing. As soon as he leaned back though, he got a heavy feeling on his lap. He sat up fully, just to feel his lips against something soft and smooth. Smooth, and sweet smelling. He could not help but smile.
He felt his way up the back of the invisible body, through the ringlets of hair, until his hand was on a hat. Her hat.
He pulled it off and there sat Annabeth, her legs wrapped around him, smiling as she kissed him.
"Found me out huh?" She asked.
"Of course, wise girl." He teased. "You're not the best at hiding."
"Oh, I doubt that. I was able to hide for over an hour. By the way, nice jamies." She laughed and poked his chest.
"S-shut up, wise girl."
"Whatever, seaweed brain." And her lips were back on his.
He found his fingers running through her golden hair while he kissed her back softly. Her mouth opened, and he took the offer. He let his hands out of her hair and around her waist to pull her closer, when suddenly- "Click."
He drew back in a jolt. There stood his mom, snickering with a camera in hand. "Mom." Percy complained.
"Come on, there had to be some way to get your attention. Come on, presents."
"Mom, aren't I too old for this?"
"Nope." She shook her head. "Now come on."
Annabeth crawled off of his lap, and held her hand out to him. "Come on, seaweed brain."
He nodded and took her hand.
Everything went by in a blur. Lots of "Thanks!" And "This is awesome!" came out of his mouth. However the last thing he was ever expecting was what came in the next box. Travis and Connor Stoll handed it to him.
As Percy opened it they snickered. What could be so funny? Then he knew. In his hands was a frilly white bra with bright red dots and lace. His face was flushed and his eyebrow raised.
Next to him Annabeth paled. Before he could do anything she snatched the thing out of hid hands. Travis and Connor took that as the time to run, and booked it out the door with an enraged Annabeth not far behind them. The last thing he could hear before she was completely gone was, "You freaking perverts! You know how long I've been looking for this?!"
Then, despite all his embarrassment he had to laugh. That was his Annabeth all right. When it was all over and everyone was gone he counted up all the random five or ten dollar bills he had gotten. All of those and on top of what his mom had given him he had just enough. He smiled, and had a feeling he would be seeing allot more of Annabeth's bras, because he knew exactly what he was going to do with the money.
