Percy, Annabeth and Leo walked down the beach of Camp Half Blood. It was windy and there was salt in the air, but all of them were enjoying the walk. Percy and Annabeth had decided that the three of them needed a short break – Percy from giving sword-fighting lessons to the new-comers at camp, Annabeth from re-building the Big House (yes, Annabeth is re-building the Big House), and Leo from, well, being Leo!
"Hey!" Leo said. "How awesome would it be if we had a small place by the beach?! I could be inside with the hot Aphrodite kids (only ladies please!), Annabeth's nose could be buried somewhere deep inside a book and Percy could be drooling after Annabeth and trying to control his spit with his magical water powers!"
Annabeth looked satisfied with the thought of her reading and having Percy drool after her, but Percy looked thoroughly dissatisfied and moaned "Hey!" Suddenly, a nymph melted into existence, handed Percy a note and disappeared. "Dear Percy, Leo and Annabeth," Percy read aloud. "Please come to the Big House immediately – Chiron."
"Why would he want us there?" wondered Percy.
Leo gasped, "Maybe he thinks we atom-bombed the lake!"
"Why on earth would he think that?"cried Annabeth.
"'Cause I atom-bombed the lake." said Leo, calmly, as a soft explosion was heard somewhere behind them. "Umm, I think we should...run," he said, feeling like a genius.
The three of them turned and ran far, far away, where no one could ever find them.
*Fifteen minutes later*
Chiron found the three demigods hiding behind a small bush at the entrance to the forest.
