Percy

"Christmas in New Rome!" The voice sounded muted and muffled as if it was speaker from behind a glass wall or under a handkerchief. It was Connor and Travis Stoll being kind enough to let everyone else know it was morning.

"Why couldn't they let people get to that revelation themselves for a change? It might help with the intelligence leaves at this camp." Annabeth asked. Percy looked at Annabeth's beautiful blonde curls that framed her face and those stormy grey eyes that told you she could tear you apart any day. Gods of Olympus he loved her. Last night had been great. They'd had a great day of training (both themselves and new demigods) then they'd kissed at the bonfire as well as singing about gran putting on her armed (that was a horrible image) and lastly retired to the canoe lake where they fell asleep in each other's arms so they didn't have to endure a punishment and scolding from Chiron for sleeping in the same cabin. Percy smiled down at Annabeth.

"Yeah I know. But, um, Annabeth how are we gonna get back without them noticing?" Percy replied.

"Oh Hades, your right!"

"I am?"

"Urgghh, shut up Seaweed brain. Ok listen up. You'll take me round there behind that Boulder then I'll go into the woods and come back out saying I've been for a walk then you will go to the surface and creep into you're cabin."

"Ok but why can't I go for a walk?"

"Because no one would believe you Seaweed brain."

"Fair enough." It was true. Percy never went for a walk unless he was on a quest and even then he complained. They swam towards the surface, Percy keeping them both dry with his mind, past pearlpink coral and rainbow coloured fish, past waving seaweed and giggling water nymphs who stared at them. In fact they were starting to really get on Percy's nerve, wide did they have to goggle at him as if he was a suitcase that had just turned into a giant bronze metal dragon. They actually existed though and he would be quite surprised if he did suddenly turn into one of them. "Go away will you?" He yelled at them. They gasped and scattered, Percy could here Annabeth chuckling under her breath. Once they had reached the grey rock Annabeth gave him one last kiss making him feel all warm and fuzzy inside before-laughing quietly to herself-she she walked away across the sand.

Annabeth

Annabeth walked through the forest thinking about Percy. He could be so dumb sometimes but he couldn't help it. It was so cute when his eyebrows pulled together as he tried to follow her line of thought. When she got back to camp she told all who asked her story. Most believed her but the Athena cabin looked skeptical.

At Breakfast she saw Percy who strolled up to her giving her a lingering kiss, making Connor and Travis go "Oooooh!" But she didn't care. When he kissed her she felt as if her insides were melting with pleasure...

9hrs later:they've just arrived at camp Jupiter.

"Annabeth!" Someone cried and Hazel appeared before her. "How are you?"

"Fine. You?"

"errh, fine. Centurion responsibilities are a bit tough but I've been through worse. Poor Frank had to be it for an entire quest!"

"Oh the horror!" Piper said as she sauntered up to them "How are you Hazel? It's been so long!" And she crushed Hazel in an enthusiastic hug.

Then they heard someone yell "Brother!" Loudly and Percy disappeared in Tysons huge bear hug. "Can't...Breathe...Tyson..." Percy gasped between gulpes of air. "Sorry Brother." Tyson said.
