Demigods' Simple Little Lives.

Annabeth's POV

The next days went pretty normal. Same schedules, free times still spent the same, still studying and snickering with Percy.

Two Weeks later, I was assigned to do the cabin inspections. Since there were no kids in the first two cabins, so I headed straight to Cabin Three first. When I reached the door, knocked twice. "Knock-knock?" No response. I knocked again; but still, no one responded. So, l know this is rude, but I just let myself in. Well, you can blame my ADHD. I got tired of waiting, so I just went in without his permission.

When I entered the cabin, I have seen a sleeping Seaweed Brain. Which was funny because he was giggling and drooling at the same time and. talking like crazy and remember, he's asleep? "Ha-ha-ha!" He laughed. " Shut up, dude. Don't do that. Juniper will get mad at you!" He said with a giggle. "Oh yeah. Happy days…: He muttered to himself. Okay, so now, this is really weird. I wonder what he's dreaming , I proceeded to my job and gave him a three out of five because of his really messy room. I mean, papers of doodles clattering on the floor, junk food wrappers (I actually wonder where he gets those junk foods) and dirty clothes are on the next bunk. Maybe that's why he washes only a few clothes when he's on laundry sessions. Mm, such a good boy. I thought.

I strolled more in his cabin and bunk and found something, something really really nice. I saw our photo booth picture with our silliest and craziest faces in a frame and another picture was beside it. What I saw was my picture in Washington I have sent him when we were thirteen. It was, indeed, in the frame beside our picture. And yeah, -another not me thing- I blushed because of that. But then, seconds later, he woke up. I smiled at him and greeted him happily.

Percy's POV

"Good Morning, Seaweed Brain!" A pretty girl in gray eyes and blond hair greeted me. "Hey, Wise Girl. Mornin'!" I replied sleepily. She laughed and I came to my senses."What? Whoa! What are you dong in my cabin?" I shouted and she showed me the inspection scroll. "Oh, right." I said sheepishly.

"Time to wake up, dear Seaweed Brain." She told me with her eyes twinkling like stars appeared in the morning. Okay, I would hate to say this but, my face felt hot and red when she called me 'dear'. So, I stood up and went out of the cabin with her.

Annabeth's POV

I asked Percy to come with me as I inspected the other cabins, because I really hate this job. Well, so far, Demeter's cabin got four; Ares got three; my cabin got four -and hey, I cleaned my bunk for that- going back- Apollo got five, Hephaestus got four and as usual, Aphrodite got five' Hermes got three -ask the sloppy counselors [laughs]- and finally, Dionysus got four.

"Hey... uh..." Percy started. I looked at him. "What is it, Percy?" I asked.

"The fourth of July fireworks is just ten days away, right?" He queried.

"Uh-huh. Why?"

"So, uh, See you at the canoe lake later."

"Definitely. Fine, Seaweed Brain. Eat your breakfast." I said.

Okay, so I admit I actually got an idea on what he's going to say. He always starts like that; something related to the topic he's really on then BANG! "See you later." Just like that. Well, if you would like to ask me, I was actually waiting for him to make the first move. If not, well, I can tell that he just not have the guts to say it yet. Maybe he's scared of my reaction. Wait, why? Am I creepy for some kind? Anyway, after our little morning moment, I went back to the Athena table for breakfast. When I sat down, I noticed that they were all staring at me. "Why?" I asked. "You are out early, Annabeth. A date during the morning? Wow.." They gagged. I rolled my eyes. "Well, duh. I was out early for the inspection of cabins, remember? So, stop it." I told them deadly serious. -Hey, don't take my 'deadly' so real. It's just an expression. [winks] Just then, I saw Percy looking at our table like he knows what we're (me and my siblings) up to. He blushed and looked away.

After five minutes, the little Soll, Connor was like BOOM! standing before our table. "What are you doing here, Little Stoll?" Lacy asked accusingly. "Aww, don't be rude," Connor whined. "I was just here to, uh, ask you something?" He queried back. Lacy rolled her eyes. "What is it, Connor Stoll?" She asked back. Wait, what is this really? Ask-you-ask-me-back day? Connor shifter his weight uncomfortably. "Uh, Lacy Repartee?" He called. Lacy blushed. "Yeah?" She replied. He went nearer to my sister; then asked: "Will you go to the fireworks with me?" By the time Connor asked that, Lacy was blushing to her bones. The she elbowed me. "Should I say 'yes'?" She asked, whispering. I shrugged. "As your will wishes. Do you want to?" I asked back. She raised her eyebrows and nodded slowly. "Then say 'yes'. Come on, that's no problem. It's just the forth of July." I replied. She smiled at me and then faced Connor. "Sure do, Connor. Uh... thanks." She said. His eyes went wide and then he grinned in his most mischievous grin. "Oh yeah! Thanks a lot!" He exclaimed and ran back to the Hermes table. All the Hermes campers gave Connor hi-fives and claps on the back.

After watching my little breakfast entertainment, I saw Percy stood up from his table, ran to our table and stared directly at me.

Percy's POV

"Hold up, Seaweed Brain. What's up with that look?" She asked then stood up from her seat.

We were eyes to eyes; and specifically, her gray eyes are like telling me to tell her what I need. "Uh, nothing... I just want to ask you, if you..." I stammered. "If I what?" She asked. "If you, uh, wanna go to the fireworks with me." I said shyly. Okay, so, you might think that's it's pretty weird for me to ask my girlfriend shyly; but, it's just -I don't know- it's just pretty hard to ask her out. With her intense gray eyes staring out at you knowingly?

She scares the Hades out off me sometimes. Mm, anyway, with my question, she kicked me on my shin and I managed to give out a petrified -yes, petrified- OW!. "Wh-what was that for?" I asked. To my surprise, she laughed, hard. "Vlacas." She chanted. "Why do you need to ask that?" She queried rolling her eyes.

Hey, you know what? I looked crazy; how can you roll your eyes while laughing so hard? Then she did something which surprised me; she kissed me, fast. "H-hey. Hold up. Is that a yes?" I asked , she rolled her eyes and said: "Of course. I told you, you won't need to ask me that, Seaweed Brain." And I went back to my table with the people staring at me happily and some weirdly as I pass. Thinking like Oh gods! An unexpected breakfast entertainment!

Annabeth's POV

Being asked by your boyfriend to go to the biggest dating even in Camp ever? Made my day. Well, I did expected him to ask me out for the fireworks; but not this time. So it still pretty was, surprising for me. Funny - after Percy had asked me, some other campers did too. So, chuckles and giggles and words of 'yeses' filled the Mess Hall. I guess that's how they see Percy as the camp leader - the follow his lead to go to the fireworks with the people they like. "Quiet, dear campers." Chiron said clopping his hooves on the ground. "We all know that you are all excited for the fourth of July fireworks; but for now, return to your normal activities." He continued. They were a lot of "Awwn"s from the campers. Some probably just lost their chances to ask their crushes out. But then, we still went back to our activities.

I first went to the amphitheater to teach some Ancient Greek. So far, there are just little things to teach the campers, so some just had their free times and I just, pretty much, played with Percy and talk about some petty things and such.

Afterwards, I proceeded to my next activities. Everything went nice. Our camp is peaceful and the sun shines down nicely. I guess I would not need to explain it, do I? Well then, my day's gone... good. I mean, it started cool and worry-less; so I expected the rest would be the same. And I was right. But we've been working a little overtime in making fireworks. It's the twenty-fourth of June and there are only ten days left. We have been done working with a ton of fireworks, yes. But the campers wanted to make this fourth of July celebration more special because this year is the first anniversary of peace since last year's Titan war.

We're actually almost done. Thanks to the cooperation of all the campers. So, normal schedules followed, free time division sat up normal and everything was cool.
