"Chase, Chase, let's go and FISH!"
"Not now, Jackie, I'm reading."
Jackie ran up to Chase and tried to tug the fat book from his hands. Chase wouldn't give, and soon it turned into a tumble, Jackie reaching for the volume and Chase trying to keep it away from her. In their tussle, they went rolling down the gentle slope. Forgetting the fight, they giggled and giddily ran back up and did it again. And again. Until Chase's gray shirt was streaked with dirt and Jackie's long black hair had all manner of twigs in it.
"I'm dizzy!" Jackie whined.
"Sit down for a little, it'll disappear." Chase replied.
"OK!" Jackie lay down on the soft grass and closed her eyes. Soon, she was asleep.
Chase looked up from his book, which he had finally finished. The sun was setting, and Jackie looked very comfortable in the grass. He stretched and lay down next to her, and sleep gently stole him away.
The stars twinkled over two peaceful little kids, one sucking his thumb and one slightly drooling. (AN: You know who that is!)

"Ew! GIRLS HAVE COOTIES!" Travis Stoll yelled. It was summer at Camp Half-Blood, the place where demigods lived.
"AAAAH!" Even back then, no one believed Travis, but this was a special case! This was about GIRLS! THE ALIEN SPECIES!
Chase looked up from a diagram he was examining with Beckendorf.
"Girls don't have cooties! Not as a gender! Stop shouting immediately."
Travis scratched his head while Beckendorf sat comfortably.
"What did you just say?" Travis was puzzled.
"I mean that girls don't have cooties! They're perfectly normal!"
"SAYS WHO?" Travis shouted from a distance. He was being chased by Katie, who had heard his 'insult towards girls' and decided to make him pay.
"Says me!" Chase shouted above the commotion.
"OH YEAH?" All the other boys flocked to Chase. "PROVE IT! HOLD A GIRL'S HAND!"
"Easy." Chase walked over to where Jackie was painting with different shades of blue and clutched her wrist and raised it up high for everyone to see.
What are you...why? Jackie asked him silently with a look.
Just trust me.
Jackie grinned, and then stuck her tongue out at all the boys who challenged Chase, which earned her a pat on the back from her serious, gray-eyed friend.

"Jackson!" Chase called. Jackie came running.
"Why did you use my full name? Is everything OK?" Worry clouded Jackie's green eyes.
"Yes, seaweed brain." Chase rolled his eyes and gave her a smack (read pat) on her head.
"Is this about Luka? You still OK about that?" She was like an older sister to him and her disappearance and change to evil had hit him harder than anyone.
"Yeah, I'm OK, and no, it's not about Luka."
"Then?"
Chase propped up his face with his hands and looked at her seriously. "Who..."
"Who?"
"Who do..."
"Who who do voodoo? I don't do voodoo I guess I mean I tried it once um forget what I said." Jackie was flustered as she felt his more serious than usual gaze penetrate her, trying to uncover the secret.
"No, idiot! Who do you LIKE?"
"Se-cr-et." Jackie put a finger to her lips and smiled.
"Tell me."
"You already know."
"I do? Wait...what...wait...oh my Gods!"
"Keep it a secret."
Chase nodded. "And, Jackie, you know who I like too, right?"
Jackie smiled and nodded.
"Good. Let it be our secret."

"Jackson!"
She turned, long hair a bit singed. "Chase!"
"Where were you for these two weeks?" His voice had an undertone of anger.
Jackie didn't say anything, she just looked down with the saddest look in the world as her cheeks colored. That was only a second, though, she covered it up with resolve to leave the past in the past.
All the signs confirmed it. "Cal, I'll kill you, you ba*****!"
Chase ran out the door. HIS Jackie had been stolen from him, right under HIS eyes.
"Come baaaaaack!" Jackie shouted and 'chase'd after him.
"Chase," she started, recovering her breath from now that she had caught up with him. He turned with his gray eyes the stormiest they could have ever been.
"Chase," she repeated, "I left Cal's island because of YOU! Don't you know that, SEAWEED BRAIN?"
"YOU'RE my seaweed brain," Chase retorted and then suddenly kissed Jackie.
