Summary:

The war is over, with Gaea dormant again peace has settled over both Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. They all pray that the peace will last. But, things are never that simple.

Percy, Annabeth, Grover and the Gang thought their summer was going to be anything but exciting. They were praying for a nice relaxing summer at Camp Half-Blood, tend to their wounds and heal from the fight against Gaea. But, of course, with our heroes nothing is ever that easy. Sitting in the pavilion on summer's eve, an explosion rocks the beach followed by a bright flash of white light. And now, the race is on for this new adventure. Will everything turn out? Only time will tell.

Chapter 1: Food Fight

Percy and Annabeth walked towards the dining pavilion. Camp this summer had been relaxing and crisis free. After defeating Gaea and the Titans they were more than happy to enjoy this quiet time together. Percy grabbed a tray and got his blue food and blue coke, moving along to sit at his table with Grover.

"Percy!" Grover yelled and moved to hug him.

"Whoa Grover, my food!"

"Ah, man sorry, I'm just so happy to see you! It's been so long." Grover said as he munched on a can.

"You'll have to tell me all about it." Percy said as he finally sat down with his tray. Grover started to launch into his adventures of the last two months. He had been busy spreading the word of Pan to as many as he could after Gaea fell dormant. He finally found himself back at Camp Half-Blood.

"Percy? Dude? Are you even listening?"

"What?" Percy said as he drew his eyes from were Annabeth was sitting. "Yeah, I'm listening Grover sorry."

Grover rolled his eyes. 'It's cool man," Reaching for Percy's empty coke bottle Grover started in "So how are you? Yeah know after…"

"I'm good Grover, we're good…" Percy glanced at Annabeth. She could feel eyes on her and turned towards Percy and smiled. He smiled back with a wink of his eye, causing Annabeth to blush. "We're both good." He started shoveling the blue pasta in his mouth.

Grover sat there looking unconvinced at Percy but let it go, "Uh Huh" and bumped Percy's shoulder. Percy bumped him back.

Chiron made his way around the pavilion in his wheel chair; his legs still had not fully recuperated from the war. He paused near Percy, and took it all in, he was sad for the loss of life, but warmed by the sight in front of him. People were laughing and jeering, telling stories and acting like the kids they were.

"You know Percy," Chiron stated. "You've made it pretty far. You're 19th birthday is next month."

"Don't remind me Chiron, I feel so old." Percy grumbled. "It also means the end of camp."

Chiron chuckled "You'll be heading back to Camp Jupiter for University?"

"I guess," Percy shrugged. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it but he was happy at Camp Jupiter, finally a school he didn't get kicked out of and he didn't have to worry about monsters, he could finally focus. And, to top it all off he was near Annabeth. She was splitting her time between Berkeley, Jupiter University, and rebuilding Olympus. To spend time with her he had started going to Olympus and helping rebuild. O.K. not really, he usually just sat and stared; in awe of how awesome his girlfriend was, such beauty and brains, man how he loved her.

"Oui! Lover boy! Duck!"

"Wha?" – Smack – nailed right in the noggin' Percy could feel something sliding down his face.

"Leo!" the Hephaestus table yelled.

"Uh oh," mouthed Leo "I told him to duck! Honestly!" –Smack- Leo was caught in the chest by a bunch of blue pasta. In shock, he looked from his chest to Percy, chest to Percy, chest to Percy.

"You better be ready to back that up Valdez!" Said Percy, who was already eyeing more ammo.

"Oh it is so on!" Leo yelled as he catapulted his sister's red jello back at Percy. Percy expertly ducked and the whole pavilion sucked in a breath. Peeking his head out from behind his now empty tray, Percy glanced at the Ares table. There, Clarisse sat, spoon half way to her mouth, motionless and eyes closed. Dripping down her back was a glob of red jello.

"I'm dead." Squeaked Leo. Percy could only smile.

"Red IS your color Clarisse." Shouted Percy.

"LEO VALDEZ YOU ARE DEAD" Roared Clarisse, as she grabbed mash potatoes from Chris's plate.

"Clari! I was eating that!" shouted Chris as she launched the potatoes at Leo.

Chiron carefully wheeled back towards the dais where Dionysus was sitting. "We really should stop them." Dionysus said half-heartedly while he perused Olympian Monthly. Chiron waved his hand.

"And why should we? I believe they deserve some fun." Chiron waved his hand again only this time bowls of sticky, mushy, throw-able food materialized on each of the tables. Cheers went up throughout the campers.

Teams were formed and Percy made his way towards Annabeth. "What took you so long Seaweed Brain?" she questioned.

"I get held up around Apollo's table they kept flinging peas at me."

"Well it's a good thing you're finally here." Annabeth said as she scooted closer, their faces were inches apart.

"Oh yeah?" Percy whispered, smirking as he pulled Annabeth closer to him.

"Yeah." She whispered back, nodding her head so that their noses brushed against each other. Slowly Percy went in for the kiss.

"Why's that wise girl?" asked Percy, just another inch and those gorgeous lips would be his. He felt Annabeth smile.

"So I can do… THIS!" Annabeth smashed a coconut crème pie into his face and jumped away from their hiding spot and rejoined her cabin. She was laughing the whole way and Percy could vaguely hear her brother and sisters cheering her name.

"OH IT IS ON!" Percy jumped up and launched himself over the table grabbing a fist full of chocolate pudding and flinging it at whoever was around him.

Dionysus and Chiron simply sat taking in the mayhem. "It is a good day." Reflected Chiron.

"I guess," mumbled Dionysus as he took a drink of his "wine". Turning the next page he didn't even have a chance to react. –SPLAT! - a big chunk of chocolate pudding latched on to his face.. Again, stunned silence filled the pavilion. Reaching for his napkin he calmly wiped the pudding off. Everyone was frozen in place waiting to see what would happen next. Chiron had his hand over his mouth trying and failing to keep his laughter at bay.

"Who," wipe. "Threw," wipe. "THAT!" Dionysus stood angrily.

"RETREAT!" Yelled Percy and he took off running out of the pavilion.

"I think he might be right." Clarisse said to no one in particular. And she took off running towards the lake, Chris in tow. Hooting and hollering followed them as the rest of the campers fled the dining pavilion. They were still tossing food around, as they approached the lake. Most of the campers dove in while others constructed sand forts and volleyball nets. One of the Ares campers started a bonfire, as Chiron and Dionysus looked on.

"Chocolate is a good color on you." Said Chiron.

"Oh shut it." Grumbled Dionysus as he trudged back to his offices.

Chiron took in the beach, these were happy times and he prayed to everything good that they would last for a long while.

Review and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
