Let me know if you have any ideas (: thanks for the review/alerts!


Annabeth laughed at Percy's embarrassed expression. His cheeks were flushed.

"Next page," He said loudly, flipping over the album. Annabeth moved to see the three pictures.

"Oh!" Piper sounded surprised when she saw the first picture. In the photo, she was sitting beside Jason, holding his hand as he lay in his bed. He was unconscious from the blow he had gotten to the head at Camp Jupiter.

Piper shot a look at Leo. "You had to take pictures of everything, didn't you?"

Leo grinned. "It's a good picture, if you ask me."

"I agree," Annabeth added. "It's nice."

In the photo, Piper was brushing the hair away from Jason's eyes, her gaze fixed on him. His blonde hair, usually extremely neat, was actually messy for once as he lay sprawled in bed.

"I guess," Piper admitted. Annabeth got the feeling she wasn't talking to everyone in the room. She was right - Piper turned to look at Jason with a small smile.

Jason's blonde hair looked darker in the bronze light of the cabin, but his eyes were as blue as they always were. He looked at Piper, also smiling. "Thanks, Pipes," He said. "You looked after me." Piper seemed to glow as he kissed her on the cheek.

Leo gagged. "Please, guys, I want to keep my dinner down."

"Oh gods," Frank said suddenly. He put a hand over the next picture, looking flustered. "Can we skip this picture-?"

"No!" Percy shoved his hand away. "We all have to suffer this together, man." He glanced down at the picture. His sea-green eyes widened. "You're a-"

"Bunny?" Hazel cut in. She started giggling hysterically. "Oh my gods, Frank!"

Annabeth started to laugh when she saw the picture, and she heard Percy snicker beside her. Jason and Piper burst out laughing.

Frank was curled up on his bed, in the shape of a big, white and very fluffy bunny. His two bunny ears poked up out of the blankets.

Leo clutched his stomach, laughing too hard to speak. "When I came in that day to the take the picture..." He gasped. "I thought I was still asleep."

Frank was bright red. He looked like he wanted to melt into the ground.

Percy laughed and punched his arm. "Thanks, Frank. I don't feel so embarrassed anymore."

Hazel's eyes were bright as she hugged Frank. "Don't worry," She told him. "It's cute."

Leo elbowed her. "Imagine waking up to that every morning," He said mischievously, raising his eyebrows. Hazel rolled her eyes.

"Oh, look at the next picture!" Piper's voice was soft. "This is a great shot, Leo."

Annabeth glanced down at it, and immediately she felt her skin tingle where it was touching Percy's. She glanced up and shared a secret smile with him. His sea-green eyes were soft and he put an arm around her. Leo had captured a picture of the two of them standing on deck, at the bow of the ship. Annabeth remembered that night as if it had been yesterday.

"Come on, Wise Girl," Percy had said, taking her hand that night after dinner. "We have time before curfew. I want to show you something."

They had sneaked out as everyone else was lounging around the dinner table. Annabeth had let herself be pulled along, content just being with him.

Percy opened the door that led out to deck for her. "After you," He said politely. Annabeth laughed and stepped out, her hair flying around her face as the wind whipped around the deck. The ship, sailing on the ocean, rocked gently with the waves.

Grabbing her hand again, Percy pulled her forwards to the railing at the very front of the ship. "Look up," He whispered.

Annabeth did as she was told, expecting to see the night sky. Instead, she gasped with surprise.

The night sky was replaced with the tall, curling crest of a wave. Moonlight glimmered through the water, turning it to a beautiful silvery blue. Through it, Annabeth could make out the faint, blurry outlines of the stars in the sky and the moon.

She realized that Percy had made a wave crawl up over the railing. It hung suspended over their heads, shielding them in a half-dome of water.

Annabeth couldn't tear her eyes away from the incredible sight. It reminded her of her kiss with Percy, four months ago - in an air bubble, at the bottom of the lake in Camp Half-Blood.

When she finally managed to look away, she turned her gaze to Percy. It was hard to decide which sight was more amazing; the suspended wave above her head, or the boy who stood in front of her. Percy's eyes had been fixed on hers, and he had never looked more handsome.

"Watch," He had said. Annabeth looked up, her hand still tightly held in his.

The wave began to fall, gently and slowly. But instead of cannoning down in one, powerful rush, it began to dissolve. It broke up into thousands of tiny globes of water, all shimmering with the moon and starlight. Annabeth stared up in wonder as the silvery drops of water cascaded around them.

She caught one on her finger. It rolled off her skin, not even dampening it. Then she looked up at Percy again, wordlessly.

He hadn't said anything, just gazed at her. Then he cupped her face in his hand and kissed her.

Looking up from the photograph, Annabeth felt her heartbeat flutter. "It was amazing," She murmured.

Percy smiled. "Anytime I'm with you is amazing enough for me."

They kissed, and Annabeth lost track of everything that was happening. Faintly, she thought she heard the door of Jason's praetor house open, and someone walk in and sit down. But for the most part, she was pretty distracted. Percy's lips were salty and she could smell the ocean on his skin.

"Um...did I come at a bad time?"

Annabeth and Percy broke apart to stare at the newcomer.

"Nico!"
