"Come on Khione! It'll be fun!" Percy enthused and the raven-haired woman snorted. The seventeen year old was floating; his hands were behind his head and he was about five feet off the ground. The snow goddess watched him unimpressed, her arms were crossed over her chest and Percy could tell she was annoyed. He chuckled as he controlled the winds with ease and made them set him down. He looked down at her eagerly as he took a step closer to her; to his annoyance she took a step away from him. Percy and Khione had a very different relationship, she would rarely touch him and when he would hug her he could feel her hesitation to return the favor. Her smiles seemed genuine but they never quite reached her eyes. When he touched her she always snapped at him before backpedaling and saying he surprised her. He didn't know what he could do to make her like him more, she was always so reserved around him but sometimes he got her to really smile and laugh, as pathetic as it sounded he lived for those moments. She had the most amazing smile, her dimples would appear and her entire face would brighten. It was seldom that she actually showed Percy affection or complimented him.

"More like immature. Percy your plan is utterly and unbelievably stupid." She said dryly as she rolled her eyes. Percy had to stop himself from deflating, though he never showed it he hated when Khione was so rude to him. He wouldn't have minded if she was joking but she meant it, he just wanted to have fun with his girlfriend but not a day went by where she didn't criticize him, his ideas, his usage of powers, and his maturity. He just wanted her to be happy.

He coughed awkwardly and looked down at his bare feet,"What would you rather do?" He muttered, he was actually surprised that she had agreed to ice skating the other day, she must have been excited that day. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and shuffled his feet slightly.

She looked at him with her, cold brown eyes and an annoyed facial expression on her lips,"I'd rather just be alone today-" She froze once Percy reached out and grabbed her hand. When they touched Percy always felt a rush of happiness and excitement and when they were affectionate it wasn't much but nonetheless he loved it. The small gestures of her brushing against him, or kissing his cheek, or grabbing his arm were amazing to him. It was usually all she gave but it was like an explosion went off in his head anytime he got the rare chance to hold her. Just hug her for a little bit, he hadn't kissed her in a while, maybe a peck on the lips but nothing major. He sometimes feared she didn't care for him but she had to, he knew she did. It was strange because he kept telling himself that but it was sounding weird to him. She cares she cares she cares. It didn't sound right. But he loved her. He was absolutely infatuated with her and it was unexplainable.

He knew he was pushing her and he grinned,"How about you do that tomorrow? And today you and I can spend sometime together today? I promise I won't bug you tomorrow." He said seriously and Khione clenched her jaw and shot him a glare before grasping his hand as well.

"Fine. I expect you to keep your word Percy." She warned and he nodded vigorously. He was so excited that Khione would hang out with him today.

"You won't be sorry!" He promised as he leaped into the air and began flying out of the ice castle.

Khione relinquished his hand from her grasp and followed him with a decent amount of distance between them,"I already am." She grumbled to quietly for Percy to hear.

When flying the two flew pretty close to the buildings because of the fog that covered the area, Khione didn't want to have a conversation with Percy so why not fly near several distractions? The entire trip Percy did flips in the air and would randomly stop flying so he'd fall for a bit before resuming control of the winds. His black hair, riddled with white streaks, was everywhere as the wind taunted and teased it. Khione sighed at her immature "boyfriend" and continued flying normally. Percy had wanted to find some hunters and prank them, she didn't see the appeal but he promised to leave her alone all day tomorrow, it seemed like a great deal to her. Suddenly she realized Percy wasn't anywhere near her and she frowned before she stopped flying completely.

"Percy?" She expected him to appear and scare the living daylights out of her. She flew a little lower and found that the demigod was floating next to an open window. She had to resist herself from smacking him as she flew closer towards him.

He was animatedly talking to a little girl,"Wow are you Peter Pan!" The girl gasped and Percy laughed before nodding his head. The girl had to be about six or seven and she was adorable. Conveniently Percy was wearing a green shirt. He didn't look much like Peter Pan but he was flying which led the girl to believe he was.

When Khione got closer Percy threw his arm around her shoulder,"And this is Wendy! We're visiting from Neverland!" He said enthusiastically and the girl looked at him in awe.

Khione frowned,"Who the devil is Wen-" Percy cut her off with a look and she narrowed her eyes at him angrily. He told her what to do? They would definitely have to talk about that.

"Whoa! Where's Tink? I thought Wendy left Neverland." The girl said in slight confusion, she had brown hair neatly curled and beautiful green eyes.

Percy smirked and kissed Khione's temple,"Wendy just found me too irresistible and begged me to take her back to Neverland!" He chuckled and Khione snorted while pulling away from the boy, she didn't know who these people were.

The girl looked so happy,"Yes! I knew you two would be together! Can you take me to Neverland Peter?" She begged and Percy looked crestfallen as he bit his lip and tired to think of a way to tell her no.

He opened his mouth,"But won't you miss your mommy and daddy?" He asked. She paused before nodding,"You'll get to Neverland someday soon, I promise. I won't be able to take you but one of my Lost boys might be able to grab ya!"

She smiled widely,"Really!"

He grinned,"Of course! Wendy and I have to go now." To Khione's annoyance he sounded sad, he had met the girl two minutes ago, he shouldn't be sad about their departure.

"Will you guys ever visit?" The girl asked and Percy scratched his head before grinning.

"I don't see why not! Right Wendy?" He asked Khione and the snow goddess nodded stiffly. She forced a smile onto her lips and this seemed to make the girl even happier.

"Yes!" She cheered before turning to Khione,"Wendy you're so pretty!" She gushed and Khione looked mildly shocked.

She gave the girl a stiff nod,"Thank you. I know." She said proudly and Percy gave her a disapproving frown before turning back to the girl with a large smile.

He began flying slowly,"What's your name?" He asked her.

She smiled shyly,"Jane." She murmured and Percy gave her a head nod.

"We'll see you later Jane! Ohohoh!" He yelled just like Peter Pan. Jane did the same and erupted into a giggling fit as he and Khione flew away. Percy couldn't stop smiling, that interaction had made his day. He got to play the role of Peter Pan! Khione was a sucky Wendy but it was nice that she went along with it.

The two flew in silence for a moment before Percy spoke up,"We'll have to work you your acting. And the whole...arrogant thing."

Khione looked over at him in disbelief,"Excuse me?" She asked in disbelief and Percy winced before glancing at her.

"Well you weren't very modest when Jane complemented you-"

"Because we both know I'm beautiful. I don't see why you called me arrogant. And I didn't appreciate you trying to make me be someone I don't know. You aren't in charge." She snapped,"When will you ever listen!" She yelled and Percy clenched his jaw.

He smiled wryly at her,"When you lower your tone of voice I'll listen." He said quietly. They both slowed to a stop and the two hovered, Khione looked at Percy in anger while Percy looked somewhat upset. He hated making her mad, he just wanted to see a smile on that pretty face, he just wanted her to treat him like a girlfriend would a boyfriend. Khione took a deep breath and closed her eyes; Percy debated whether or not he would hug her. He knew she'd be mad but was leaning holding her but he wanted to test it. Slowly floating closer to her he grabbed her arm and pulled her to his chest.

Her eyes snapped open and she scowled,"Oh no you don't! Why do you think you'll get off the hook? I didn't say you could touch me-" Percy cut her off when he slammed his lips onto hers. She stiffened as he wrapped his arms around her waist and put one hand through her lush, black hair. He tugged at it gently and Khione felt a spark erupt within her. Percy and her have kissed before but he wasn't usually so bold, he always hesitated or would make it fast and short. That was fine by her; she didn't want to stay with him too long. But the way he was kissing her now made her cheeks warm, she's never been kissed like this, Percy was holding her so gently as if she would break if he let go or squeezed her waist too hard. She stayed in character as she kissed him back; she hesitantly put both hands in his hair and gave it a sharp tug to pull him closer to her. Percy obliged happily and hugged her even closer to him, he couldn't believe she was kissing him back this much. He smiled into the kiss and felt euphoric and decided to play with her. He slowly pulled away from the kiss and Khione looked at him in confusion but her hands remained in his hair.

"What?" No she didn't love him, he was an idiot, she disliked his company, and he was too immature to function. But he was an excellent kisser; she didn't mind that, it would also look good on her part if she kissed him like that more frequently. Percy was a muscular, handsome, and humorous. She didn't mind the muscle and handsomeness; she actually liked that about him a lot. She didn't date him because of his looks or personality; she dated him because she was given orders to do so. As nice as kissing him was she hated how warm he made her, she hated the warmth and Percy always made her feel that way. It was terrible.

Percy smiled widely at her and decided to sweet talk her seeing as he was complete in love with her,"Nothing...you're beautiful you know." He murmured before leaning down and laying his head on her shoulder,"And I love you." He said quietly before planting a kiss on her neck. She became extremely warm as he made his way up, he kissed her jawline, her cheeks, her nose, her forehead. She closed her eyes as goose bumps appeared on her skin, her hands never left his hair, she could feel him hover over her lips for a second before pulling away completely. As much as she liked the flattery of his words she didn't know why he taunted her like that. It was infuriating.

"Why'd you pull away?" She growled, her eyes dilated and her jaw was clenched. Percy smiled sadly as he reached out and grabbed her hand. She allowed him to interlace their fingers and she continued to stare at him in anger and confusion.

He kissed the back of her hand,"I know you struggle showing me emotion, love, but sometimes I'd like more affection. Khione, I've known you since I was a kid. I meant what I said, I love you, but sometimes you're a bit high strung. That's why I want to pull this prank, so you'll smile and laugh and be happy." He said softly and Khione faked a smile before she pulled him closer to her and hugged him tightly. Gods this was stupid, was Percy always so emotional? She did find it endearing he wanted her to be happy but also annoyed that she was talking about how she could change. If anything he needed ro change.

Percy rest his chin on her head and smiled widely, he knew she didn't say she loved him back, that was okay because he knew she cared for him. He knew everything about the snow goddess; he got lucky being with a girl like her. Yes, she made him feel small when she would undermine him, but he didn't care because it was moments like these that he lived for.

"I'll try harder...but we won't be having this conversation again understand?" She asked icily and Percy chucked before pulling away and kissing the crown of her head.

"Have fun today and we'll drop it."

-Line Break-

Thalia Grace stood there proudly in her silver tiara and black shirt. She and the hunt had gathered for a meeting, Artemis was at Olympus and Thalia wanted to congratulate the hunters for bringing down the Minotaur. Percy would have been proud. The son of Poseidon vanished two months ago and no one and seen the hero of Olympus. No one knew why he was gone and Grover confirmed he was due to the empathy link. Annabeth was tirelessly looking for him as was herself and Nico. But she couldn't always search for him due to her position in the hunt. She missed the idiot.

The girls gathered around her and she opened her mouth to speak only to be hit in the face with a snowball. The hunt gasped and looked around for the culprit they heard the laughter of a male and another snowball hit Thalia. The daughter of Zeus staggered backwards at the icy cold snow and shivered before whipping it off. It was summer, how was there any snow!

"That got me at least two points!" The man's voice sounded.

A woman sighed,"You didn't say anything about keeping score!"

He laughed,"Well Wendy, starting now we're keeping score. Head shots are two points, anywhere else is one." The voice was so familiar.

The girl, Wendy snorted,"I'll crush you...Peter."

Thalia frowned,"Defensive position! We're under attack!" All hunters drew their bows and got in a circle formation. Suddenly something flew by with an astounding speed and three snowballs hit different hunters. They all yelled and a blue-eyed boy appeared. It wasn't even snowing out, who were these strange creatures?

He stuck his tongue out and before the girls could attack he threw two snowballs and arrows were fired at him. His eyes widened and he leaped into the air and began flying, all the hunters looked at him in disbelief.

Thalia stepped forward with her bow poised,"What are you doing here boy-" She froze as she got a better look at the boy. She recognized that mischievous smile and the troublemaker glint in his newly colored eyes. "Perc-" She didn't have a chance to finish before someone hit her in the back of the head with a snowball. The force was enough to make her stumble forwards and she whirled around to see a black haired girl smirking at her. A hunter shot an arrow at the girl who leapt into the air and suddenly the duo pelted the hunters with several snowballs. The hunt soon began to shoot at the two, both of them easily avoided the projectiles smoothly and they continued firing.

"Don't hit the boy!" Thalia commanded and the hunt, though irritated and wet from snow, listened and aimed more for the girl.

Percy laughed,"Why Wendy I think they like me more!" Thalia was frustrated that Percy didn't seem to remember her, she was also shocked that he could fly now. When had that happened? Where had he been? Why didn't he remember her? She was upset that her best friend had looked right through her.

Khione rolled her eyes,"Is this almost over?"

Percy chucked a snowball before grinning,"Loosen up and have some fun! Come on!" He grabbed her hand and darted to the side before they vanished from the hunt's sight. The girls were freezing and covered in the white solid that was quickly melting all over them. Thalia and the hunt looked around cautiously.

"Thalia...I think they're gone-" The hunter was cut off once the hunt was buried by an avalanche of snow. Percy appeared overhead of them with Khione and he was laughing his head off. Tears fell down his cheeks and he was clutching his stomach, Khione merely cracked a small smile and Percy was able to calm himself as he looked at her with a big grin.

"I so won!" Percy boasted as he wiped his tears of mirth away.

She snorted,"No! I know for a fact I beat you. How many points did you get?" She demanded.

Percy made up a number,"Twenty." He hit the Lieutenant of Artemis a lot so that had to count for something.

She smirked,"Twenty two!" He scowled and crossed his arms over his chest. He should have made up a higher number, he knew for a fact that Khione actually kept her score.

"Yeah well I let you win!" He declared.

Khione rolled her eyes,"Or you're not as good as me."

Percy chanced it and kissed her cheek,"Course I'm not."

She backed away slightly,"That was a cheesy line." She said stoically.

Percy, though slightly depressed, smiled,"It was supposed to make you smile Khione." Realizing that she had continuously been harsh she forced a smile. Gods she wanted to kill Percy, he was upsetting. Why did he want her to be happy all the time? Because he loved her? That was impossible because he didn't even know her and vice versa.

She grabbed his hand,"Thank you Percy." She wanted to kill herself.

He grinned at their hands momentarily,"Anytime...now I need to do something very important." He said seriously. The hunt still couldn't get out of the snow much to his amusement.

He materialized a snowball and her eyes widened,"Percy I swear to the gods-" She didn't get to finish when Percy struck her in the face with the snowball. She froze and Percy laughed again.

"I hit the stick in the mud!" He taunted and with surprising speed she hit him in the face with a snowball. He fell backwards in shock before a grin spread across his face. Soon the two were throwing snowballs at each other with vigor. They had left the hunters behind to dig themselves out of their predicament.

They raced through the clouds pelting each other with snow,"I'm going to win!" Khione declared.

Percy laughed,"In your dreams!" His agility saved him as the snow goddess fired snowballs rapidly. He bent, dropped, and sped up to avoid every drop of snow. He returned fire and Khione used the air around her to keep them away. Her hair splayed outwards and her brown eyes glowed beautifully, Percy didn't realize she had thrown a snowball until it hit him smack in the face.

Khione began laughing loudly,"Your face!" Percy grinned so much he thought his cheeks would fall off. He hadn't heard her laugh so much and it was refreshing. Her laugh was cold yet soft like snow. Percy could only watch her in adoration; she had him wrapped around her little finger.

Once she stopped laughing she froze, the son of Poseidon had did it, he made her so happy and elated that she had laughed. It was extremely surprising and she was shocked. How had he done that?

LOST A BET! So if you like Maximum Ride check out Forsaken by Pluto's Daughter 14. Pretty good actually, wouldn't tell you this if it sucked.

Haven't updated for a bit and decided to kick this story off a bit more. It won't be updated as frequently as my other stories. I'm just really busy this summer. So tell me what you think. Made edits to the last chapter. I'll come back AND edit this chapter later. I'm really tired. So here...I hope this is decent.
