This takes place Between The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian

Hello, how do you do? I'm Rae, nice to meet you. How do I do, you ask? Well I'm quite happy right now, so I guess I'd reply I'm good, thanks. I got my two best buds together, and I mean together together, like a couple, which in my opinion is fun, and then I may have ruined my two best friend's relationship. My bad. But why am I happy, one might wonder. Well I got them back together. I know what you thinking. This has daughter of Aphrodite written all over it. You may be right there, but I'm actually undetermined right now, so I'll have to get back to you on that.

My day started out as usual. I woke up a tad bit late, again, if you count 45 minutes as being a tad bit. I quickly threw on my orange camp shirt that was three sizes too big. Don't ask. Okay, I'll tell you. My camp shirt currently sits in the boy's toilet thanks to the Stoll brothers. So I am wearing one that I found in the Lost and Found bin. But unfortunately I haven't had time to wash it so it smells like barf. I brushed my shoulder-length black hair and put it into a half ponytail half down style. My hair is either a really really light shade of black or a really really dark shade of brown. I quickly picked the first pair of shorts I could find which happened to be my favourite blue jean shorts. I slipped on my navy blue converse and headed out the cabin. Which is when I remembered that I wasn't wearing socks. I ran back into the Hermes cabin for undetermined campers and grabbed some socks. They didn't really match each other, or my outfit but I didn't care because I was running late. How can socks not match a plain outfit, you say. Well when you have one Hallowe'en candy corn sock and one My Little Pony sock, let's just say it doesn't match a camp shirt.

Okay, so I never told you what I was late for. Well I happen to be on the dance committee along with Percy, Annabeth, Nico and a bunch of others. Today was an important meeting. Well, the type of important that the dance is tonight. It's weird. Maybe even ironic. The person, who hates dancing, that's me!, is on the dance committee. But anyway, the dance was coming up really soon and we may have slightly forgot to pick the music. And by "we" I mean I. I know it sounds bad but I know a bunch of great songs. I can take care of it. Then we went into the dance room to put up some decorations and a punch table.

Okay, so now you're probably asking me how I got my friends together and then broke them up. Well I say that you ask a lot of questions. But let's start with how I got my two buds together.

We've been working since our meeting ended and it was time for lunch. Good because I'm starving. I didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning, as you already know. I piled the food onto my plate and took a seat. Percy was sitting all alone at his table and so was Nico. I was sitting at my table and it was a little crowded, and I could barely hear myself think but I managed to come up with this brilliant thought. Here it is: Percy and Annabeth would make a cute couple. I mean seriously, Percy complimented Annabeth and she'd blush. Annabeth would call him Seaweed Brain and he'd get pretend mad. I decided that the dance would be perfect. And with that, I swallowed my lunch and got back to work.

It was now 7:00 p.m. and people were arriving. We were going to have a 1950's theme but then we canceled it and went with a regular dance. Unfortunately we sent out flyers with our old theme first and then my job was to spread the word and some flyers about our new non-theme. Well actually here's the unfortunate part, I was handing out the new flyers one day and I got side tracked and didn't finish spreading the flyers and I may have seen a few people wearing 50's clothing this evening. Whoops.

We didn't have a DJ, just me controlling Percy's iPod. I started the night with Dynamite. The dance has been going on for about 30 minutes by now. I decided it was time for a slow song. I put on _. At about 7:31 and 45.03 seconds-ish I went up to Percy and said "Ask Annabeth to dance!" Okay I didn't really "say" it. I more like "demanded" it.

"What? Why?" Percy asked all confused. I sighed.

"Because she's standing right there not dancing with anybody at a dance!" I said a little annoyed. No wonder why Annabeth calls him Seaweed Brain. "Now how much sense does that make? Go!" I pushed him towards Annabeth. And I don't mean pointed him in the right direction, or a slight tap on the back for encouragement, but I mean I really pushed him and he stumbled forward trying to regain his balance. Meanwhile Annabeth looked at him funny as if he were doing some weird act.

"Do you, uh,want to, uh, you know, dance?" he mumbled to Annabeth. Seriously it was really hard to hear with the music and all but i managed to make out what they said.

Annabeth looked shocked but happy. "Oh, yeah, sure" she replied.

It was kind of dark in the room but I could just see everything that I needed to see. Annabeth had her arms on Percy's shoulders and Percy had his hands on Annabeth's sides. Awwwwww that's so cute, you're probably thinking, but I'm not done telling the story. They were a meter apart. Okay, so once again I decided to help them out. I slowly and subtly pushed Annabeth closer towards Percy. I pushed he really hard and she landed in Percy's arms. Now you are free to "awwwww". So I couldn't resist myself from taking pictures. When the song ended they broke apart and went back to doing what they were doing. For Percy it was probably getting some candy at the refreshments table. For Annabeth it was probably worrying about something like the balloons or how late it was.

During the next song which was If I had You by Adam Lambert, I went over to the refreshments table and sure enough I found Percy. I casually shoved some blue candies in my mouth. My favoutire colour was blue, and everything had to be blue for me.

"So." I said

Percy immediately started blushing and knew what I was going to talk about.

"How was it?" I asked. Percy and I were best buds so it shouldn't be too awkward, right?

"Um good I guess." He said staring at the ground.

"No really, how was it?" I asked wanting to hear the details.

"Good…" he mumbled.

I sighed "Okay then." And I turned to walk away.

Before I left the table I grabbed some more blue candy and Percy said "Rae, thanks."

I turned around and smiled and went to find Annabeth. Yep, she was worrying all right. "Woah. Relax a bit." I said as I took the clipboard out of her hands. "So how was your dance?" I asked.

"Oh," she said, "It was just a dance" she replied trying not to sound excited. But I could tell she enjoyed it. And on top of that, as soon as I mentioned the dance she stopped freaking out. Phase one complete.

I went to pick the next song. I know that it plays automatically but it's more fun getting to choose. Anyway the dance continued through the night. It ended at 10:00. It took 10 minutes for everyone to clear the room. Now we had to clean the room. I desperately wanted to sneak out and leave. But of course Annabeth wouldn't let Nico or me for that matter.

Annabeth, Percy and I were folding up the tablecloth used to well, you know, clothe the table. "This was a pretty awesome dance, don't you think?" I said.

"Yeah." Percy said as Nico came by sweeping the floor. That's when I had an idea. Well I knew that I had to get the future couple closer somehow. I had an idea. It was like in TV shows how a light bulb appears on top of their head. Literally, someone turned on the lights.

This night before I fell asleep I reviewed the whole scenario. Annabeth and Percy both liked each other. Neither of them wanted to admit it. Okay, that's pretty straightforward.
