Ok, I think I forgot to mention this: but TLO happened, but Annabeth and Percy never got together. So, Percy is 16, and Viola is 15.

FAST FORWARD TO WINTER BREAK

Forever and Always (part one)

I walked through the barriers of camp, and I could hardly contain my excitement. I turned to wave my dad off, and then practically ran down the hill. I said a quick hello to all of the year round campers, and ran into my cabin. I was immediately met by Katie (who came back for break as well), my little sister Maria and my half brother Delano. They each gave me a hug before letting me put down my duffle bag, and then I ran out of the cabin. I sprinted down the path towards the other cabins, but stopped when I heard someone whistling. I turned my head, and was immediately pounced on by the Stoll brothers. Ugh. I think they have a thing for annoying all children of Demeter, but Connor and I are good friends.

"Hey guys!" I said through laughing and trying to push them off of me so I could get up off the ground.

"Hey Vi!" they said in unison. I rolled my eyes as I gave one final push and they got off of me. I stood up and brushed the light snow off of my black snowboarding jacket (one of my many hobbies).

"I haven't seen you two in so long, it feels like forever!" I said, giving them both a hug. Katie came out of the cabin and smiled at Travis. He grinned back, and excused himself to be with his wife (*Gag*). I talked with Connor for a while before remembering where I was supposed to be going.

"Uh, hey, its nice seeing you again Stoll, ill talk to you later?" I said. He got that mischievous glint in his eye, and I knew what was coming. He opened his mouth and cupped his hands so that his shouts could be heard all the way in Manhattan.

"VIOLA LOVE'S PERCY! SHE'S GOING TO GO MAKE LOVE WITH HIM IN HIS CABIN RIGHT NO-!" was all he got to say before I tackled him and pinned him to the ground.

"Do that again and you won't ever have a love life. Us Demeter girls are tight with the Aphrodite cabin." I said, giving him and evil grin. He just nodded, but a faint smile appeared as he pushed me off of him. I laughed as I started running back down the path getting curious looks from the campers who had heard Connor's message.

I was panting by the time I reached the porch of the Poseidon cabin. Hopefully none of his siblings were there …. Since the war, two new children of Poseidon (four of Zeus *eyeroll*, and one of Hades) were claimed and brought to camp. Now, they weren't bad, it's just that sometimes they were annoying. They look up to Percy like he's a friken celebrity (which he kinda is in demigod world), but he never got privacy. They always interrupted our I-M's asking Percy to help them with their sword training etc …. But you get the point.

I knocked on the door and heard some yelling. Most likely Drea (his thirteen year old sister) and Austin (his like, freaking mini twin who is turning 14) fighting about getting the door. I heard a frustrated 'shut up!' and then everyone went silent. Footsteps neared the door, and it creaked open.

"What do yo- why hello there." said Percy, realizing mid-sentence that it was me. I smiled as he wrapped his arms around me in a bear hug. He let go and turned back into the cabin. He pointed his thumb towards the door.

"Out!" he commanded. I heard some 'buts and 'whys' but eventually the two brats left. He led me to his bed after closing the door and locking it making sure we were alone. I sat down with my back against the wall, and he sat in front of me. He leaned in and placed his lips on mine, a sensation I haven't felt since the summer.

"I missed you." He murmured against my lips, his breath was warm and smelt like chocolate mints. I giggles, a smile spreading across my lips.

"I missed you too." I said before he pulled away to look at me. I did the same. He looked exactly as he did four months ago, but now he had a scar that went from just below his right ear to his chin. It was barely visible, but I traced the white line with my fingertips.

"What happened?" I breathed. His smile turned into a goofy grin.

"I ah, had a small run in with a Chihuahua." He said, winking. That meant that the Chimera was still out there. I cracked a smile.

"Never really liked Chihuahua's." I said.

"Neither have i." he said, grabbing my hand and pulling me onto his lap.

"So, have you stayed at camp all year?" I asked.

"Nah, since I didn't get expelled from Goode, im still forced to go to school. Paul knows my secret, so he says that if something ever happens, he'll find another explanation other then the usual 'Percy did this, Percy did that' thing." He said, chuckling.

"Well that's good." I said.

"So, given any thought on moving to New York?" he asked, I couldn't see his face, but I could tell his expression had gone serious. I sighed; we'd been talking about it for a while now. It would be closer to camp in case I was ever needed, there were a lot of boarding schools I could go to, and if I didn't get accepted, then Percy's parents offered me to stay at their apartment. But I couldn't leave my dad all alone with that she-devil. Who is the she-devil? His brother's mother in law. Ugh. It was horrible when we only saw her on holidays and special occasions, but now that she lived across the damn street from us, there was constant talk about 'who's gonna kill her, me or you?'.

"Percy, you know I can't leave my dad all alone in Nashville."

"He wouldn't be all alone, don't you guys have horses?" he asked. I smacked his leg.

"That's not what I meant." I said. He sighed this time.

"I know, I know. It would just be so much better then only seeing you during the summer and on breaks." He said, lying down on his bed. I ended up with my head on his chest.

"I know." I whispered. We lay in silence for a few moments, before I heard him inhale, about to speak.

"Viola, there's somethi-." But I didn't get to hear the rest of the sentence, because someone was rattling the doorknob. Technically, camp rules stated that Percy and I can not be alone in a cabin together, but we never listened to that stupid rule. Percy said that Beckendorf and Silena would've been proud of us breaking the rule that had been created the summer they started dating. Well, the rule that had been created because of them, anyways.

"What?" yelled Percy towards the door.

"Percy? Why is the door locked?" asked an unfamiliar voice. One of a girl. My eyebrows scrunched as Percy got up from the bed to answer the door. I sat up so I could see who it was. He unlocked the door, and then opened it. I saw a very pretty girl with long caramel coloured hair, braided into a side braid. She wore a nice white sun dress which was off the shoulder. A gold clasp with some symbol on it was pinned on the sleeve of the dress. She wore Grecian sandals, and had tan skin. Her eyes were hazel and had an innocent look as she examined me.

"Uh, Calypso?" asked Percy, cocking his head to the side. My ears started to ring when he said the name. I knew that Percy had been to Calypso's island when he went on the quest a few years ago with Annabeth, Tyson, and Grover.

"Who is that?" asked Calypso innocently. Yeah, like she was so innocent my mind thought bitterly.

Is that some jealousy im detecting? Asked a voice in my head. Shut up, Aphrodite. I thought grumbled back. Humph! She replied.

"Um, well this, is my girlfriend Viola." He said, still shocked by her presence. Another thing I knew was that he had wanted to stay on her island, but he had gone back to finish his quest.

"Girl …. Friend?" she asked her hazel eyes wide in confusion. I rolled my eyes getting up off of the bed and walking to Percy's side.

"Yes, girlfriend." I replied.

"What does that mean?" she asked once again. I groaned.

"It means that he is in a relationship. With me. Unavailable. Taboo. You getting with the program?" I asked rather rudely. I have no idea where this anger was coming from, but I had a sneaking suspicion it was from a goddess I had just sort of pissed off.

Percy's hand clasped mine, a warning to calm down. Surely Calypso couldn't mean any harm, right?

"Calypso what are you doing off of your island?" Percy asked, changing the subject.

"Zeus ended my sentence after some convincing from Aphrodite. So I came to find you." She said simply. My mouth popped open in a small 'o'.

"You've got to be kidding me!" I exclaimed. Percy looked at me with wide eyes, obviously just as shocked about the announcement as I was. His hand squeezed mine as he looked back towards Calypso.

"Why did you come to find me?" he asked cautiously. She looked at him with those gorgeous eyes (eyes that my plain brown ones couldn't compare to).

"Because I love you." She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I could feel myself starting to rage, and obviously Percy could as well.

"Well, im sorry Calypso, it's just that, well … I love Viola." He said shrugging his shoulders. Hearing his words calmed me down some, but I was still tense. She made a face, and nodded once.

"Not for long." She said before turning around and storming away. Percy and I stood side by side holding hands for a few moments as we realized what she had just said.
