"I'm glad you are here this summer General," Shelly says when they stop swimming and take seats on some rocks.
"It is nice to spend some time with brother Percy and Annabeth," he tells her.
"I hoped you might have come to meet me," she says.
"Percy did mention you. I was curious to see who wanted to meet me," he says with a bit of a blush.
"I am happy you have not already married, being a son of Poseidon and all, I know you must have many girls after you," she says then looks away.
"Not many," he assures her.
"But some," she asks.
"No one really special, well except for Ella," he says.
"I have been told she if very pretty," Shelly says
"She is beautiful to me," he agrees, "But we can only be friends."
"What should we do today?" she asks wanting to change the subject back to them.
"Would you like to visit Atlantis?" he asks.
"You know where it is?" she asks surprised.
"Of course, Dad showed me," he says then takes her hand.
"Be careful," he tells her when they reach the outside of the city, "The ruins can be very dangerous."
"Are there spirits?" she asks clutching his hand tighter.
"No, not that I've seen, but things can shift and fall," he says then leads her inside.
"It's beautiful," she says, as soon as they clear the entrance.
"I'm happy you like it. The last person that came here with me thought it was ugly and hated being here," he tells her.
"That was your father's temple," she says then swims in the direction she was pointing. "Was there a hanging garden?" she asks but doesn't wait for an answer. "This fountain must have been in honor of Cleito. Tyson, oh thank you so much for sharing this with me," she continues then hugs him.
The two of them spend a good portion of the day exploring and laughing. They left in such a hurry that neither of them thought to bring any food, so they share some seaweed under the statue of his father in a golden chariot and talk.
"I should tell you that I had a girlfriend after Ella," he says hoping she doesn't get mad at him.
"Did you break up?" she asks.
"Yes, I told her we could not keep seeing each other. She was too bossy and didn't like any of the things I like," he explains.
"Is she the person you brought here?" she now asks.
"Yes. We did not stay because she hated being here. After that, she would not let me pick where we would go when we would spend time together," he tells her.
"I could live here it's so beautiful," Shelly says, as she hold a piece of seaweed out to a passing fish.
"I cannot live here. I must live closer to my father and the Cyclops army, but I enjoy spending free time here," he says then takes her hand.
"Tyson," she says then stands, so that her face is at the same level as his, "I don't care if you had a girlfriend before me, and I don't want to scare you off, but I love you," she says then kisses him.
Tyson is a little surprised but kisses her back then says, "You want to spend more time with me?"
"Yes, I want to be your girlfriend and see if you could love me back," she says.
"OK, Shelly is Tyson's girlfriend then," he says and kisses her again.
