Author's Note: Ok, super quick! Everyone who is anyone knows that, the one and only, Annabeth Chase has a small habit of kissing the great Percy Jackson just before he runs off to do something, dumb, dangerous, and ultimately heroic. What everyone doesn't know is that Aphrodite decided that all Camp Half Blood couples should get together this way because it is, to use her words, "super mega adorable" and "romance-alicious". I sincerely hope, as head scribe for translating this project, you enjoy reading about Lady Aphrodite's meddling *thunder rolls in the distance*… Oh, excuse me, her "assistance" in young couple's love lives. Thank you

Pulling an Annabeth ~ how it all started
Aphrodite sat on her diamond studded thrown in beautiful Olympus feeling thoroughly depressed. What a gross feeling.
"I shouldn't be depressed. I'm a goddess; I can have everything and anything that I want with a simple wave of my hand. Depression shouldn't even be in my vocabulary."
The reason for her feeling was coming from the magical, movie theater screen sized, window to Camp Half Blood. This is an official tragedy. "How do demigods live in lives so void of love and romance? They work, train, and eat carbs all day long."
Besides my children, of course, being good examples as always. No one is having anything to do with love. And there is so much potential!
Why can't they all be as daring and beautiful like Percy and Annabeth? Now there's a couple! Everything was fuzzy and confusing at first because they had no idea what was going on, and then forbidden because of a long time parental feud, then, even better than that, she loved another man; a traitor no less! But true love prevails through ALL! And they lived happily ever after. *dramatic sigh* Why can't there be more Precabeth in the world?
As Aphrodite was reminiscing in the brilliance of Annabeth and Percy's first kiss in that one volcano on that one quest, she was struck with an amazing idea. You have to admit that that kiss is simply inspiring, if nothing else. Quite possibly the smartest thing Annabeth has ever done, if I do say so myself. Right before something was bound to go wrong, right as the chance that the heroic duo would never see each other again was the highest, true love worked its magic and boom Percabeth was born… Well, on the inside at least. And it's not like everyone wasn't already thinking it.
It bring happy tears to the goddesses eyes every time! Everyone should have an experience as magical and wonderful and irresistibly adorable as that!
And therein lies her light bulb moment.
It would be a dream come true, for all parties involved. All the goddess of love would have to do is make something terrible happen to bring campers together. What most mortals don't know is, a person's true feelings for someone always reside inside them, from the moment they set eyes on the "one". That's all it takes to plant the seed that will never truly go away. All I have to do is give these feelings a little encouragement, a small helpful nudge in the right direction…..
