Smitty: PJO AU coming your way everybody.

Nymph: Haven't been here in a long while. Here's a small preview of a bigger project I'll be working on later.

Smitty: I think you mean we.

Nymph: Mm, I don't think so.

Smitty: Fine, then you're not getting credit for the next Novonner chapter.

Nymph: That's not fair!

Smitty: An eye for an eye. Or in this case a chapter for a chapter.

Nymph: Why are we fighting in a fanfiction.

Smitty: *shrug* You started it.

Nymph: Ugh, let's just get to the reviews.

SonicELITE: Yeah, Marco's got some smooth moves. And we will, thank you

EVAunit42: Of course they're going to get kinky, they're Star and Marco. I really like those ideas, they will definitely be kept in minds. Though I have no idea what first chair is.

Guest (Tanner): So LOL. Very much LOL. We're still working.

Guest: We are, and yes I can see that as a very great and usable idea. Thanks for asking us to write it!


Nobody was surprised when the son of Ares and the daughter of Hermes finally got together. In fact, most the camp was equally overjoyed and disappointed when it became official. Some people got unlucky in the betting pool. Highest pot was 500 drachmas. After the whole…ideal that had occurred before they got together, Marco and Star would use their free periods sparring in the arena, every day.

At first nobody bothered to check it out, believing it was best to let the two have their privacy. After the first week however, when the two started skipping usual camp hours well after the free period was over, and the sound of lasers firing and swords clashing lessened each passing day, some nosy campers decided to check on their 'private sessions'.

To say they were surprised by their combatting, would be a lie. What they were surprised by however, was the fact that Marco and Star were equally skilled in combat. Marco was good, don't get them wrong, but the fact that he could keep up with Star was very impressive. With the magical caduceus heirloom Star wielded, she should've clearly tipped the fairness of the battle, but Marco's own heirloom and training kept it balanced.

After watching them continuously fight non-stop for an hour or two, the campers soon realized that nothing was happening, and that this had merely been a waste of time. Most of the half-bloods left, realizing they had better things to attend to. Those who were dedicated enough to keep watching, lost hope after another half hour.

Before they decided to leave however, another event that surprised them took place. Rare enough for each of the demigods to pull out their monster-proof phones and take as many pictures and videos as they could.

Ah, blackmail.

When Marco had found his way past Star's lasers and disarmed her with his ruby red sword, Star tried to think of a last resort to win.

So she tackled him.

Once pinned, Star spoke in triumph, bragging that she had won. Then she leaned down and kissed him. Marco pushed her off of him and stood up, before pulling her back in for another kiss. Soon enough, the kissing became a make out session, which led to Marco pinning her against the arena wall, followed by more making out, longer videos to use as blackmail and…well…use your imagination.

(A/N: Don't think rated M, though.)

They had so much leverage on them.
