The rustling of the leaves on the ground, combined with the fused scents of pumpkin pie and cinnamon, gave Camp Half Blood a relaxed kind of aura. It had been right about time for all the demigods to take a break – it had been five years after the Great War (AN: Let's just pretend that the whole Greek/Roman Percy-and-Jason-losing-their-memories thing already happened), and all the cabins had been built. And in one part of the forest, a group of girls were sitting on lawn chairs, talking about their days. For once, they had been normal.

"Wow," Annabeth stretched back lazily, reaching for her book on Greek architecture. "I never knew how relaxing a day could be when I'm not out fighting monsters and rebuilding Olympus." The other girls around her nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, seriously. And the cabins all look great. I'm so glad I decided to quit the Hunters." Juniper smirked. "Yeah, Thals, that's why you quit the Hunters." Thalia blushed. They all remembered when Thalia had left the Hunters three years ago to be with Nico.

"Oh, well, I gotta go, guys," Annabeth checked her watch. "I've got to go get ready." There were oohs all around. "Got a date with Percy, Annabeth?" Silena asked knowingly. (AN: Again, let's pretend she didn't die. And that means neither did Beckendorf.) Annabeth nodded, then ran off.

"Oooh, Percy, you look nice today," Kara batted her eyes and flashed Percy a smile. He nodded. "Thanks." Kara's twin, Miranda, walked with them. "It's so true." She tossed her hair over her shoulder.

In sight of Annabeth.

Annabeth walked over, forcing a smile on her face. The two twins saw her coming, and their faces darkened ominously. This meant war. "Hey, Percy. Girls." Annabeth flashed them two quick looks of hate. They smiled back, of course fake. Annabeth tossed her hair over her shoulder casually, then said, "M'kay, well, I'm gonna go get ready for our date." She walked away towards her cabin, rolling her eyes. Gods, he can't be that dense as to see that they're flirting with him. I can't believe that he's letting them do this. She turned as she got to the cabin door, then smiled.

"Silena!" Annabeth called. "Hey, Annabeth." Silena was waving at her by the lake, pausing her conversation with some naiads. "Okay. Percy has been letting Kara and Miranda flirt with him, and I don't think that he's dumb enough to actually think that they aren't. Help me."

Silena sighed. "But honey, he's not." She waved her over. "Guys are not that smart. Trust me." Silena and Annabeth walked over to where Kara and Miranda were sitting, right next to Percy. "Percy," said Silena, "Why are you letting these two flirt with you?" Percy just stared at them.

"I know that they're flirting with me." Silena looked surprised. "You do?" Percy nodded.

"But why are you letting them?" asked Annabeth. Percy smiled and shook his head. "But Annabeth, I'm not. If I was letting them, then wouldn't I be flirting right back?" Both girls looked at each other, sharing surprised looks. "This is deep, even if it is kind of naive." whispered Silena.

"Annabeth, the only one I have eyes for is you."
