Percy's POV
Annabeth's curly blonde hair blew in the wind. Her grey eyes sparkled as she stared out into the ocean. She was wearing a simple Camp Half-Blood t-shirt and a pair of jeans, yet she looked so gorgeous. Annabeth was sitting on a blanket in the sand, having a picnic with herself. "Hey Wise Girl, mind if I join you?" I asked. Annabeth turned around and smiled. "Sure, Seaweed Brain, though I am out of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches." I couldn't help but to smile. I had the best girlfriend. I walked up to her and sat beside her on the blanket. "Why are you smiling?" She asked, completely serious. I shook my head, and looked out into the ocean. Annabeth will never understand how much I love her. The ocean glistened as the sun shone on it. I knew somewhere out there was my dad. Annabeth grabbed my hand, and we set there staring into the ocean. "Want to go for a swim?" Annabeth suggested. Her gray eyes shown with curiosity. I smirked and replied, "First one to that island wins!" "You're on!" Annabeth shouted. We both got up and ran for the water. Now, I know what you are thinking, aren't you like the son of the sea god? Well, yeah. I know it's a little bit unfair, but Annabeth never declines a challenge. Besides, she is a strong swimmer. She proved that when she wanted to get to the siren's island (long story). As I swam, I kept glancing back at Annabeth, making sure she was keeping up. When I reached the island, I saw that Annabeth had already arrived. A wave of confusion hit me, how could Annabeth beat me? She must have seen my face because she answered my question. "I got a ride." She pointed toward something in the water. "Rainbow!" If you don't know, rainbow is my brother Tyson's hippocampi. He rescued Tyson from the CSS Birmingham and helped give us a ride to the ship the Princess Andromeda. "Yup. I guess I win Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth smirked. Even when she was being clever she was cute. "We should probably head back, it's getting late. We don't want to get into trouble with Mr. D." I suggested. We hopped on Rainbow, and headed back to camp.
