Calm Waters was my first story. It wasn't the best, so this is the revised version. Thank you all for supporting me in the beginning, when my writing wasn't all that great.

Annabeth POV

Camp-Half Blood was definitely a sight for sore eyes. Since the Titan war some changes had been made, but for the most part it was still the camp I knew and loved. It was still my home. I stood on Half-Blood Hill, taking in the snow dusted fields and the satyrs and nymphs chasing each other. From the arena, I could hear the sound of clanging swords.

"Annabeth!" I heard Percy call my name. He was smiling his goofy smile at the bottom of the hill, backpack slung over his shoulder. He ran up and kissed me. I smiled, I would never get used to that. In the beginning, I lamented over the fact that Percy Jackson could turn a sensible, logical daughter of Athena into a lovesick child of Aphrodite. But I learned to be a little less dramatic. It wasn't all that bad.

"So ready for another action-packed two weeks at camp?" Percy asked as we walked into camp. He was positively giddy, bouncing up and down with each step.

"Action-packed? Where did you get that word from Seaweed Brain?" I responded.

He shrugged and then smiled and chuckled "seaweed brain" he said under his breath.

"What?" I asked annoyed.

"Nothing, I just like it when you say that," I noticed he was blushing. I took his hand and gave it a squeeze. He grinned at me and we walked into camp. Chiron came trotting up to us with a huge smile on his face.

"Good to see you back," he said "I'm very busy with all the new campers, and I have an archery lesson in 5 minutes. So I'll make this quick, will you two do a fighting demonstration at 2:00?" he looked at us with almost pleading eyes.

"Umm, ok." I responded.

"Sure" Percy replied

"Great, thank you." He said and he galloped away.

"Did you think he was acting strange?" I asked.

"Yeah," Percy replied simply. "He's probably under a lot of stress with the new cabins being finished, all the new campers, and the saviors of the world arriving. I know I'm hard to cater to."

I hit him lightly on the shoulder, frowning when I had to reach up a little. Seaweed brain was getting tall. We walked to the cabins and got settled in, all the while there were campers pointing at us.

I smirked at Percy. We were in our fighting stances, waiting for the signal by Chiron. I chose to wear a light leather breastplate as armor. Of course, Percy had nothing on because of the curse of Achilles.

All around us were counselors sitting with the new kids from each cabin. They had excited looks on their faces ranging from 12 to 16.

"Ready?" we nodded "Fight!" Chiron quickly got out of the way as we fought. I defended the best that I could and tried to get under his guard. Since Percy was invincible, we had to disarm each other to win. I stabbed, twirled and jumped while the campers were wildly cheering.

While I was twisting out of the way of a jab, Percy hit the back of my knee with the flat edge of his sword and I stumbled, allowing him to trip me and kick away my knife. I lay on the floor helpless with a frown on my face with Percy was grinning and holding his sword to my neck. The campers were cheering and acting out our fight. Some of the older girls were giggling and looking at Percy, I couldn't help but be a little angry, but it faded when Percy helped me up and kissed me.

"What was that for?" I smiled.

He frowned, "Not sure, I just wanted to." Now the giggling girls were either sending us looks of shock, hostility, or both. All of a sudden we were surrounded by adoring fans.

Over the noise I told Percy, "I'm still mad at you," he just gave me his goofy grin and got dragged back into the sea of kids. The girls who had been giving me evil looks earlier were whispering to each other and glancing at me. I ignored them and the angry feelings and thoughts of employing the Stolls, for now.

Percy and I sat on the dock to the frozen lake after dinner in perfect silence. It was nice not to have to worry about anything. No wars, no death looming on the horizon. If only the world would pause, so we could stay like this forever. But now anger was coming back. I wanted to push it away, keep it in the back of my mind, but it had been bothering me all day. Now it would bother this perfect moment. I sighed and shifted my position.

"What's wrong?" Percy asked. I looked up at him with a questioning gaze. "You have been distracted all day, I can tell." He added.

"When did the Seaweed Brain get so advertent?" I asked with a smirk.

"Oh no! Big words! I can't take much more!" I laughed at his drama. "But you're avoiding my question. What's up?" I silently cursed in Ancient Greek, Percy had also gotten smarter.

"Annabeth." he said in a sing-song voice.

"Percy," I replied. He frowned and looked at me with his sea green eyes. I couldn't tear my eyes away.

"UGH! Fine! I'm-mad-at-the-girls-that-were-looking-at-you-duri ng-the-spar!" I quickly said, losing my cool. Why could he do that to me? Why was sensible daughter of Athena coming unglued like this?

"You're jealous?" he repeated. I looked away in shame

"I know I shouldn't be jealo-" I was cut off by him taking my face with both hands and kissing me.

When he pulled away, he looked into my eyes and said, "I like you a lot Annabeth, I think I might even" he took a deep breath, "loveyou!" he said really fast and almost got up to run away but I pulled him down for another kiss.

"I love you too," I said. Best day back at camp ever? I think so.

Again, thank you for reading and supporting me! Reviews are always welcomed and appreciated.

ALSO, a rather important note. To me at least. The first chapter of my band AU/AR (The Big Five) is complete and all ironed out. If I get interest, I post it. It gives you a nice taste of the story, and it sets the stage nicely. If anyone is interested, let me know.

I am also working on the post-PJO story (where the Mist disappears.) On my profile in a poll letting me know which story you are most interested in. Illusions is in the lead, so I've been working on that. And I'm pretty happy with it.

Broken and Calm Waters will be slowing down now. But they aren't necessarily complete.

Thanks again, and remember to review! : )
