A/N: New story, hope you enjoy it. Please review if you like it. If you hate it review anyways.

"Hey Percy, are you excited to spend your first Christmas at Camp Half-Blood?" Annabeth asked, jogging up next to me, while I was on my way to sword practice.

"Yeah, I am. It's kinda cool to see the camp with snow."

You see, this was my first time going to camp in the winter. Although I had been coming to camp for three years, never had I been here at another time other than summer.

"Yeah. It really changes the place doesn't it?" She questioned, taking in the camp in all its glory.

"It sure does. Thalia's pine tree actually fits in with the camp now," I joked, chuckling to myself.

"I just hope the Stolls don't try to decorate it this year."

"They won't if they know what's good for them. Thalia will kill them."

"I can picture that," Annabeth agreed, a smile playing on her lips.

We walked in silence for a moment after our banter. Not awkward silence. Just silence. Just a nice walk with a good friend. Just good, sweet sil-

"So what are you gonna get me for Christmas this year, Percy?" She asked, enthusiastically.

Practically tripping over my own feet out of surprise, I answered, "Uh...you know...that one thing you said you liked that one time."

"What thing?"

Oh jeez, what now.

"Uh...I...You're just gonna have to wait to know. Wouldn't wanna ruin the surprise."

Nice. Solid rebound. She may have snuck up on me with the question, but at least I saved myself from telling her I had not gotten her a present yet. Heck, I don't even know if I would have remembered to get her a present if she hadn't brought it up.

"Well it better be good seaweed brain,"she sneered, smiling like she knew something I didn't.

"Of course. It's going to be the single most best present you have ever received." I replied, getting a little cocky.

"That's going to be hard to do, considering my mom gave me a Yankees' hat that lets me turn invisible, but we'll see what 'ya got."

"A hat? Pssh! That's nothing compared to what I got you."

"Ok, kelp head," she responded, disbelievingly. "Just don't get yourself in too deep on this one."

"When have I ever done that?" I stated, questioningly.

Ok, ok. I deserved the glare I received from her on that one, but let me tell you. Some of those situations were not my fault. The stolen bolt? Wrong place, wrong time. The golden fleece? Hermes practically begged me to go. The quest to save Artemis, and Annabeth? I had to stow away on that one, and I'm pretty sure Annabeth doesn't mind, seeing as I helped save her.

"Ok, fine. Maybe I've done it once or twice, but hey. Someone's got to do the stupid things I do."

"And your just the stupid guy for the job," she said laughing her head off.

Really. Don't people know they're supposed to not laugh at their own jokes? I mean goodness gracious, isn't she a Athena camper.

*Smack to the back of the head *

I don't think I said that comment in my head...

"Ow!"

"Someone needs to learn some manners. I might forgive you if your present is as good as you say. Anyways, I'll you later. I have masters archery class right now. See ya," She said, as she jogged away.

She nudged me with her shoulder on her way by, and it was meant to be playful, but holy Hera that hurt! I mean, that girl is too tough for her own good.

What...I can't be phased by that. I'm a weenie now. Don't you judge me readers, don't you dare judge me. Until you have received a semi violent act from a child of Athena, you will never know what I'm talking about. I mean, what is she, the wolverine? Does she have shoulders made of metal?

I'm getting off topic here. The real problem here is that I promised her a good Christmas present, and I have no idea what to get her. She's never gonna let me live it down if my present sucks. Hades forbid, I forget.

Ugh. I can't think straight with this possibly bruised shoulder. I'm off to the Apollo cabin to see if it's dislocated.

I am not a drama queen.
