*Annabeth's POV*

Percy and I were at the arcade at Montauk, and I saw a grabber arm game. I asked Percy for a coin because he was being particularly stingy with them, I eventually got him to give in. I got a wolf plushie, that I grabbed, and would definitely give to Lizzie later, to add to her plushie collection. A little known fact about Lizzie is that she has a massive plushie collection hidden in Cabin 6, and at home. Most of these are from either, me, her dad, Malcolm, or from when she and Jake go to the arcade.

When we got back to the cabin, we had dinner and marshmallows. In the morning, we headed back to camp. We unpacked our stuff, and I pulled out the plushie from my bag. I put it on Lizzie's bunk, as a surprise for her, as cabin 6 was at archery.

*Lizzie's POV*

We were headed back to the cabins from Archery. When we get inside, Mal pokes me and points at my bed, sitting on top is a stuffed wolf with a bow. I screeched, and tackled Annabeth onto my bed, and grabbed the plush. My other plushies topple over and my siblings start in giggling and grab them and pile them back up. Percy comes in, sees a giggling Annabeth tackled on the bed with the new animal.

"Wow, another one? How many is this? 1,000?" Percy asks smirking

"Only 189..." I reply hesitantly

"Only? That's a lot, Liz." He laughed out.

I decided the wolf's name was to be Cali Girl. Mostly because Annabeth got it for me, and I thought it was funny, I put a jeweled headband on her as a collar, and I bring her down to campfire. I sit next to Jake per usual.

"Hey is that a new one?" Jake asked as I sat down.

"Hey Jake, yeah. Annabeth won her for me. You wanna hold her?" I ask.

"No thanks last time I held a wolf for you, I lost my arm," Jake says.

"Oh, yeah..." I look away from him.

"Hey don't be sad I'm just joking with you," Jake says.

"I know, I just wanted to make you feel bad." I shoot back.

"So, what's her name?" Jake questions.

"Cali Girl, CG for short," I reply.

"That's cute." Jake compliments.

"Is that a toy you have? What are you 5?" A Dionysus kid teases

"It's a gift, and I love it. Just because you think your so high and mighty because your drunken dad is Camp Director, as punishment, meaning he doesn't even want to spend time here, or with you, just like everybody else. So get off your high horse, and shut up like everybody else. Also, I'm 12."

"Woah, little sister, slow down there, he isn't ready for the truth. He is in denial that his daddy doesn't love him... Let him get to that conclusion on his own." Jake put in.

The kid looks put out, but he shut up, slunk away, and sat down.

That night I cuddle into my mound of plushies with Cali Girl in my arms.
