Annabeth, being somewhat familiar with the caverns, is able to gather her bearings quite fast. An added bonus is Percy's cellphone, which she swiped from his back pocket on the trip down. She hates to admit it, but he does still have a nice butt. Good for him.

She stands up and turns the flashlight on Percy's cellphone.

She lets a small gasp escape her lips when the harsh lighting reveals a spider on Percy's neck.

"What?" he asks.

But she's a bitch now, or at least, that's what Percy thinks. So he wants a bitch? He's gonna get one.

"Oh, nothing," Annabeth says innocently. "What was that you were saying? About how I'm ruining everything?"

Percy scrambles to his feet.

Annabeth tugs on the ribbon still holding them together just for fun, causing him to lose his footing.

Percy mumbles something under his breath.

"I'm sorry. I didn't quite catch that," Annabeth says.

"I said I can't believe you were right."

"Well, you better." She pulls the chopsticks from her hair and angles the ribbon beneath one. Time to spring herself free.

"I'd rather you didn't," Percy says.

Annabeth cocks an eyebrow. "You mean... you want to stay tied up with a..." she lowers her voice so she can sarcastically ask, "a bitch?"

He groans and slams his hands against the wall, no doubt killing a few spiders in the process. "I think it's fair to say neither of us knows what we're about to find down here. Shouldn't we stay close?"

Annabeth shrugs and walks the caverns, the same as she did before.

"Can I please have my phone?" he asks.

Instead of responding, she opens the camera and takes a playful selfie. She almost laughs. Despite her frizzy hair, Percy can be seen in the background, looking absolutely stupid.

"Are you sure there were other people in here with you?" Percy asks, rubbing a spider bite on his forearm.

"Do you ever shut up?" Annabeth asks.

"Do you?"

"Nope! Fuck, I'm kinda hungry. I could really go for some Subway."

The ribbon goes slack as Percy catches up. "Funny, the girl dressed like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo suggesting we eat sub sandwiches after this."

Annabeth looks downwards at her outfit: A fitted green crop-top and dark red shorts. Shit. She does look like Shaggy!

"Oh, fuck," she realizes. "We look like we're cosplaying Scooby-Doo."

"Me?" Percy asks.

"Yeah, Fred!" Annabeth tugs on the satin once again. "This one of your traps? Damn, that didn't sound so kinky in my head."

"You're nuts."

"I still don't think you could pull it off."

"Pull what off?"

Annabeth turns around and blows a kiss. "I think it's this way," she says, angling Percy's phone light towards the ceiling, the same lights from before dotting the wall. They don't light up this time, however. That's probably for the best, considering what happened last time.

"We're in some sort of an abandoned mine shaft, in case you were wondering," Annabeth says.

"Why would they build a resort over top a mine shaft?"

"I'm wondering the same thing."

Percy tugs on the ribbon, and Annabeth stumbles. She has to grab onto Percy's bicep to keep from hitting the ground. It was that or a face full of spiders.

"What's that?" he asks.

Annabeth crouches down. An arrow with pink fletchings pierces the wall. "Yep, that's it. Definitely."

Percy reaches to pull it out.

"Woah," says Annabeth. "Do what you want, but if that thing gets you high, I'll dump you off with Leo."

"Er, thanks," says Percy. "Give me my phone. I'll take some pictures at least."

Annabeth hands the phone over. "Hurry up, will ya?"

"I'm just getting as many angles as I can."

"Any day now would be great."

"Can you sit still for two minutes?" Percy asks, irritated.

"No, I have ADHD. Ever heard of it?"

"Just shut up and wait."

Annabeth tugs on the ribbon.

Percy finally looks up from his photoshoot and his eyes widen.

"Oh," he says when the giant Cerberus is within sight.

"You know in Scooby-Doo when they all run away from the monster while a Simple Plan song plays?" asks Annabeth.

"You mean we're not gonna fight it?" asks Percy.

The monster growls and takes off after them faster than what should be possible in an abandoned mine shaft.

Annabeth starts running too, not even bothering to avoid spiders. She'll take Percy's godly muscles over the spiders, but the spiders over imminent death by a massive dog.

"Come on!"

Percy just won't run fast enough. Tying herself to her ex is probably one of the dumbest ideas that Annabeth has ever agreed to, but she made her bed, and now she has to sleep in it.

Every step strains the ribbon; she's surprised it hasn't torn yet. There's going to be massive bruising on her hips later, and it won't be from getting railed for once.

"How'd you get out of here?" Percy asks when they reach the hole they fell through.

"I couldn't reach the ceiling, so I went out another way."

"This is so confusing!" Percy yells.

"Yeah, well, that Cerberus doesn't like fetch! Crouch down, will ya?"

"What?" Percy complies anyways, squatting to the ground.

Annabeth mounts his shoulders, and he stands up on wobbly legs.

"Little higher!" she yells.

"Your butt's in my face," Percy complains.

"You should be honored. Put a little more muscle into it!"

"Ow!" Percy shouts when Annabeth accidentally on-purpose steps on his face.

Daylight! At last!

Annabeth pulls herself up onto the surface and then lays down flat across the altar, hoping to distribute her weight evenly so she doesn't fall back in.

She grabs onto the ribbon and starts pulling.

"Oh hey, uh, what's going on?" Frank asks.

"Fucking help me pull him up!" Annabeth yells.

"Oh, sure."

Frank and Annabeth could make a great tug-of-war team if Percy's life was being threatened at the end of every rope.

Percy collapses on top of Annabeth by the time they finally get him up. His hair is messy and he's missing a tennis shoe.

"Cutting it close, I see," he quips.

Annabeth shrugs. "You're alive."

"Woo!" Leo shouts. "Getting a little steamy below the altar!" He laughs at his own joke a little too hard.

Piper wolf whistles.

Fuck. Annabeth looks at herself and then at Percy. Their clothes are disheveled, their hair is messed up, and they're literally tied together.

It sure looks like they got into some freaky bondage shit down there.

"What were you guys doing? You missed the whole rehearsal," Reyna asks from the podium.

Percy starts. "There was a monster... down there, in the, uh-"

Annabeth cuts him off. Much to her embarrassment, she uses the same excuse as last time: "That's for us to know and for you to find out."

She takes her chopsticks to her hips, cutting the ribbon.

A pale hand enters Annabeth's line of sight, offering to help her up. She reluctantly accepts and grunts in gratitude.

"Why are you guys dressed like Scooby-Doo characters?" Rachel asks.

Annabeth snatches her hand back. "Shut up, Dare." Immature as it is, she stomps across the venue and finds Will. Not caring about how he even got into the rehearsal, she steals some chapstick and a mint from his man-purse.

Nico emerges from the banquet hall and yells across the lawn. "There's subs ready in here!"
