Hi everyone! This is a cool idea I was thinking about the other day, and I couldn't wait to start working on it! It's set in Montauk, and EVERYONE'S in it! Well... everyone I can think of. There will be tons of Percabeth, Tratie, Charlina (they didn't die), Jasper, Groviper, and Frazel! It's set after the whole Roman vs. Greek camp shebang, so they are both in it and everything is normal... as normal as it can be. Enjoy! This first chapter is SUPER long, by the way!

Percy PoV
I was so excited - all of my friends and I were going to Montauk for 2 months this summer by ourselves! And when I say all my friends, I mean ALL my friends: Annabeth, Grover, Thalia, Nico, Travis, Connor, Katie, Bekendorf, Silena, Piper, Jason, Leo, Frank, Hazel, and Juniper (The Greeks and Romans were on good terms and did quests together all the time now). Of course, we couldn't all fit into the tiny cottages my mom and I used to stay in, but we would be in the area, in two separate houses, one for boys and one for girls. The whole trip was Chiron's idea - he called me to the Big House one day for a private meeting, which was unusual these days because it had been so calm lately. When I got there, he told me he had some very exciting news:
"Percy, it is time for you and your friends to see if you can survive on your own in the mortal world without the help of the gods or anyone else at camp. I have decided to let you pick the location, but I'd advise you not to go to Alaska in case you are put into a dire situation. Where would you like to go?"
I shivered. I never wanted to go to Alaska again, not after what had happened when Hazel, Frank and I went there on a Roman quest last year. After I got over my bad thoughts, I didn't even have to think about where I wanted to go - somewhere I hadn't been in years -
"I pick Montauk." I said, smiling.
"Alright then, Percy. You will be leaving in a week's time. You can bring as many friends as you'd like. Do you have anyone in mind?" Chiron asked. I told him everyone I wanted to bring. He looked a little shocked and a little worried. I couldn't blame him. So many demigods in one place would be dangerous, but I guess that was the point, right?
Annabeth PoV
I was sparring with Lacy, one of the Aphrodite girls, when Percy came running up to me. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him run up, a huge goofy smile on his face. He looked eager to talk to me, so I told Lucy we could stop, and she looked relieved. I took off my helmet, shaking out my curls while walking over to Percy.
"Hey Seaweed Brain," I said before pecking him on the cheek. He blushed. I laughed.
"Hey Wise Girl," he replied before kissing me on the nose. I blushed. He laughed. Touché.
"So what do you want to tell me so badly? You look like you're going to pee in your pants from excitement.
"Oh, nothing. We just have an awesome quest, that's all!" I grinned.
"Tell me!" He did.
Oh. My. Gods. That sounded so fun! I couldn't believe Chiron trusted us enough to do this - I was so happy. I mean, going to the beach was great, but going to the beach with Percy will be amazing. "This is great, Percy! Who else are you bringing?" I asked.
"Just a few more people," he said, "Follow me, I still have to tell everyone else!" We walked together out of the arena, Percy looking around for...someone. Of course, he wouldn't tell me whom else he's bringing along, no matter how much I pestered him about it. Finally, he found whom he was looking for, and when I saw whom it was, a huge grin spread across my face.
"Grover! Hey, man! Guess what! We're going on a quest! To the beach! Yeah!" Percy yelled to his best satyr friend (technically, I'm not his best friend, I'm his girlfriend, but whatever, I'm overanalyzing... again...). Then he and Grover started walking in the direction of the strawberry fields, Percy beckoning for me to follow him.
Katie PoV
"Hey Katie! Hey Juniper! Guess what?"
I was picking strawberries with Juniper when Percy, Annabeth and Grover jogged over. Juniper, who was one of my best friends, squealed and hugged Grover as tightly as she could. Blah. I've never been into romance, so whenever people act all lovey-dovey around me, I'm a little weirded out. Anyway...
"What?" I asked.
"We're going on a quest to the beach!" Percy exclaimed.
"Oh my gods, that sounds like so much fun!" Juniper squealed again (what is it with squealing? I don't understand why people do it so much.) But it did sound like fun. That is until Percy said,
"Do either of you know where Travis and Connor are?" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! There is no worse way to ruin something as fun as a leisurely quest to the beach than that of bringing the Stoll brothers along. Blah. This was going to be interesting...
Travis PoV
"Nail?"
"Nail."
"String?"
"String."
"Bucket?"
"Bucket."
"Water?"
"Water."
"Peanut butter?"
"Peanut Bu- wait... peanut butter?"
I rolled my eyes. "Yes Connor, peanut butter. I'm hungry. Now pass it up!"
For those of you who were wondering, my (younger) brother Connor and I were setting up a trap for the Aphrodite cabin: You know, the old bucket-of-water-over-the-head trick? Yeah, that's always a good one. Well, we had almost finished building it when Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Juniper and Katie turned up, forcing us to stop for a moment, in case we looked too suspicious (Yeah, like two guys standing outside a cabin with a ladder, a bucket of water, and a jar of peanut butter would look suspicious in any way.)
Percy told me that we were going on a quest to some beach, but I didn't really hear him. This was either because: A. I was partially deaf, B. I'm so ADHD that I can barely pay attention to anything, or C. I was too busy staring at a certain brunette who was standing at the back of the tiny mob of people that had circled around my ladder. (In case you didn't figure it out, the answer is... C. I am not afraid to admit to you -because you are merely the reader of my thoughts and can't exactly tell anyone this- that I am kind of in love with Katie Gardener. There. I said it.) I was thrown back into reality when said brunette snapped,
"What are you staring at, Stoll?" in - may I add - a very self-conscious manner (Ha! Yes! She cares about what I think! I think...)
"Uhhhhh... Nothing! Hehe, yeah! Beach! Great!" I said in my not-a-blubbering-idiot-at-all voice. Connor side-glanced at me, a knowing smirk on his face. I'll get him later.
Silena PoV
I was walking along the shore at the lake hand in hand with Charlie when Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Juniper, Katie, Travis, and Connor came up to us.
"Hey guys! Guess what? We're going on a quest to the beach!" said Percy excitedly.
"Ooh! That's wonderful! I can't wait!" I shrieked, squeezing Charlie's hand. How romantic! Moonlight walks in the sand, playing in the waves, what could be more adorable? And speaking of romance, this would be a perfect chance to get together my new favorite couple: Tratie (Travis and Katie for those of you who can't figure it out)! I mean, come on, he's obviously head over heels for her, and with a little help from me and Piper, who I assume is coming, Katie will learn that she feels the same way! Plus, it would be a great excuse to go shopping for bathing suits... Anyway, I told everyone that I knew Piper was in our cabin Iris-messaging Jason (they are soooo cute together!) and that Leo was probably there, too. Funny, they came from that direction... I wonder why. Oh. Duh. Connor has a thing about pranking our cabin. Well, you know what they say: If a boy is mean to you or enjoys pranking you, he probably likes you (*cough cough* Travis *cough cough* Katie).
Leo PoV (AN- Leo is TOTALLY my favorite character in TLH! Love him!)
"I love you, too!"
"I have to go... you hang up!"
"No! You hang up!"
"No, you!"
I had been listening to Jason and Piper talk mushy gushy to each other for the past HOUR, and I was getting sick of it. I mean, yeah, Jason's my buddy and Piper's my best friend at camp, but come on. An HOUR? Really, I was about to run around the room with my fingers in my ears and singing at the top of my lungs when Silena (who, by the way, is smokin'! I would NEVER say that to ANYONE though, because, well, have you seen her boyfriend? Not to mention he's my half-brother, so that would be aw-kward!) practically leaped through the doorway.
"Whoa, ballerina! What's are you so hyped about?" I asked. Piper turned away from her beloved Jason for a moment to stare at her sister, and I don't blame her. The girl was literally hopping up and down, grinning like a maniac Barbie.
"Guess what, you guysies! Percy's taking us on his quest! To the beach! And Frank and Hazel can come, too!" she said in a super high-pitched voice. The three of us cheered. Man, the beach? I can't remember the last time I went to the beach! This was going to ROCK. After saying goodbye to Jason, Piper, Silena, and I walked out of the cabin to a boatload of people.
"Dude," I said to Percy, "you are the ."
I hope you liked it! Please review- I will definitely need some ideas for what will happen during the most epic beach trip in Fan Fiction history! Chapter 2 will probably be up soon. (:
