DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PJO OR HOO
Percy's POV
"Want to go back up?" I asked Annabeth not letting go of her hand.
"No way," she says leaning on my shoulder.
"It's almost dinner time"
Annabeth's eyes widened. "Why didn't you say so, seaweed brain?" Annabeth says pulling me to the surface. I just laughed.
We emerged from the lake, and sure enough they heard a horn. "Let's go eat"
As we were passing by, I saw something crept out of the shadows. Annabeth immediately sensed my reaction. She put up her guard and I immediately uncapped riptide and pinned whatever monster it was to a tree trunk.
"Ouch, that hurt, perce" my victim groaned.
"Nico?" Annabeth asked.
"Oops, sorry bro" I said and I let go of him. Sure enough, it was Nico wearing his black aviator jacket.
"What are you doing here?" I ask and shortly after, there was another horn being blown. I could see a tiny bit of blush in Nico's cheeks
"Oh, you know . . . just visiting," Nico says and I could see Annabeth smiles.
"Surely, it doesn't have to do anything with the Hunters' Horn being signalled, eh Nico?" Annabeth asks.
"OF COURSE NOT" he says.
"Sure, Nico, whatever you say," I said smirking.
"Whatever," he says and we lead each other to the pavilion.
Everyone was there mostly. And sure enough the Hunters arrived. Since Chiron was out, I was in charge of welcoming them.
Everything was going normal, but then:
"Percy! Chiron! ANYONE?!" Jason's voice boomed. It was an IM and on the background was a slightly panicking Camp of Roman demigods.
"Camp Jupiter is under attack! You have to move quickly!" A lot of gasps from this and I run towards him right away and the campers did the same.
"What's happening?! We'll send reinforcements!" I tell him.
"NO! Don't! Tell me, are the hunters there?!" He asks and I'm kind of flipped up because I had no idea why he'd ask that.
"Yes, they're here" and a thought suddenly occurred to me. "Where's Reyna?" I ask. "Stalling. Look, tell me, is Mr D there or Chiron?" He asks almost on the verge of panic. I frown
"No, why? Tell us Jason, what's happening?"-Annabeth
"Get the hunters out of there now!" Jason shouts
"What's the matter, little brother?"-Thalia says.
"Look I can't explain right now! But you have to take the Hunters quickly! Or else you're going to get dragged into this and Artemis wouldn't be able to help you!" A lot of gasps
"What's happening Jason?!"
"It's Venus! Valentine's is seven days from now, right? Look, she's completely hijacked our whole camp! She's taking over! Reyna's stalling her right now, but that won't last long and soon Venus will go to her Greek form and will be at Camp Half Blood. Now quickly, take the hunters, while we still have- - - - "
A flash of pink light shone brightly and out came the Goddess of Love.
"Oh shoot! Get the Hunters ou- - "
Jason's IM was then vaporized by a pink energy ball and the campers quickly
"Oh, hello, beloved Camp" Aphrodite smiled as if Jason IM-ing us never happened. All of us bowed but didn't dare go near her. What the hell was happening?
I squeezed Annabeth's hand. Gods.
"Hello, demigods! AS ALL OF YOU MAY KNOW, LOVE IS MY DOMAIN, AND SINCE IT IS NEAR VALENTINES, FOR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS, I HAVE BEEN GRANTED BY LORD ZEUS PERMISSION TO BE IN CHARGE OF THE ALL OF CAMP HALF BLOOD'S ACTIVITES, CONTESTS, LESSONS, GAMES, AND ALL OF THE HALF BLOODDS THAT ARE WITHIN THE PARAMETER OF CAMP AT THIS VERY MOMENT" She says. I gulped. She turned to the Hunters. "INCLUDING YOU LOT" She smiled mischievously.
"LET THE LOVE-APALLOOZA BEGIN!"
And that was the start of everyone's love life going up and down
