Hey everyone…I'm BACK! Thank you to everyone who reviewed. Your comments made my day, and I love you all :) so anyways thanks to Whispering Memories and TheDaughterofNyx for pointing out my incorrect spelling of definitely as "defiantly"…hope I spell it right next time :P

Sorry if this chapter is badd :( im trying to write this story while talking to my best friend, whose aspiration before I move, is to put a lot of make-up on me :/ and I don't pre-plan my stories, which I know I should, but I write them in a hour or so and post them, which is why some chapters are easier to write than others:P and while writing this chapter I'm experiencing writer's block.

Thanks to: Anastasia Laurels , C-Nuggets N.L , iStoleYourBlueMoonIceCream, DEDEBUG9, TheDaughterofNyx, I'mDifferent-GetOverIt, MelRose520, flipntwist, lmsmonkey18, Whispering Memories and Green30.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, but I wish I did.

"Alright-y guys, good job today! Personally, I think you're right…dogs are better than cats, but hey, you can't win in an argument against a daughter of Hecate…you might just be turned into one of those animals, which would not be fun…Anyways, I think you guys deserve a break today so you're all free in the afternoon as all of your classes have been cancelled…for today. Lacy…only for today, okay? We really don't need a recap of last month, now do we? OMG…I just sounded like Drew there…sorry Lacy," Piper was talking to her siblings, giving them a rundown on what they would be doing that afternoon, who at the moment were laughing at Piper's last comment, and the way she freaked out, and that her voice went so high that it went up an octave.

"Sorry Drew," Piper said to the older girl, who didn't seem very angry at the comment though, and she just shook her head in acceptance, as she was laughing to hard to actually form, but she was laughing at Piper more than the comment.

Looking at the group of laughing Aphrodite kids, some of who were even rolling on the floor laughing, she just shook her head, and turned to walk away, with a final reminder,

"Remember to be in the cabin at least 15 minutes before dinner, 'kay? I'm off, bye" Piper called over her shoulder as she walked away from her group of siblings. It had been about a week since Piper's conversation with Drew, but everyone had figured out that there was something between Piper and Leo.

As per usual of Piper, when alone and free, she'd just go down to the beach. It relaxed her. So she hurried on, until she reached her final destination. As she gazed at the familiar sight of the crystal clear turquoise water, and the golden sand that glittered in the sunlight, her breathing slowed down, and she slowed her pace down to a walk.

After a few minutes of silence, with only the waves crashing on the beach, Piper heard familiar footsteps running up behind her. She turned around just in time to get a huge bear hug from Leo. She hadn't seen him in a couple of days, except at meals because he was working on something with Nyssa, but he wouldn't tell Piper what it was. So she spent time with Annabeth and Thalia, who at the moment were off doing something for Chiron. And Juniper was probably either with Grover or playing games with the satyrs, who did not like to be interrupted during playtime with the wood nymphs…let Piper tell you that from experience.

Anyways, so it was a shock to see him here, but her shock turned into joy pretty quickly…Leo still managed to make her happy, just by being around her, but she hadn't fallen into depression by his absence, because he had told her that he was working on something important.

"Hey, Pipes! Surprised to see me? Did you miss me?" Leo asked her. In response, Piper just rolled her eyes, and shook her head at his childishness, and then she turned her back to him, facing the brilliant blue sea once more.

Unsatisfied by her lack of response, Leo stepped in front of Piper, blocking her line of vision, causing her to look straight into his eyes.

"So, since I finally managed to get your undivided attention…I have a gift for you!" seeing her confused expression, Leo continued. "It's what I was working on with Nyssa, it would have been finished earlier, but it's the only thing I've ever had problems making, which is why I needed her help." Leo finished blushing slightly and looking sheepish, for the fact that he needed help in making Piper a gift. Then he handed Piper a smallish, cream coloured, square shaped box, tied up in a silver ribbon.

Looking at Leo with undisguised curiosity, Piper tugged on the silver ribbon, and then she lifted the lid. In the midst of lots of silver tissue paper, nestled the most beautiful locket Piper had ever seen.

It was in the shape of a heart, which had engravings of vines and leaves running across its edges, and on the center her name had been engraved in a cursive script. It hung on a silver chain, the same colour as the charm. Opening it, she saw that there was place in it for a small picture. Looking up, Piper whispered a "Thank you" and hugged Leo as hard as she possibly could, who after second returned the gesture. Lifted her head from Leo's chest she looked up and smiled at him.

He looked down at her smiling face, and he leant down, and kissed her. And after about a second of shock Piper responded, and didn't let go till they were both out of breath. Grinning widely, Piper hugged him once more then let go.

"How do you put this thin on? Could you help me Leo?" She asked while fiddling with the locket, and eventually putting it in his outstretched hand. She lifted her hair, which really was becoming a nuisance, to help Leo put the locket on her. She could feel his warm breath on the back of her neck and at his soft touch she closed her eyes. Once on, Piper turned around and hugged Leo again, and just sat there with him the whole evening, till the dinner conch blew.

Right now Piper was in heaven, but little did she know her whole world was about to topple over…

I know its cruel to end it like this but please bear with me. So please tell me what you guys think, I was having writers bloc while writing it, which was why it took so long to up. SUMMER HAS OFFICAILLY STARTE TODAY, so I will defiantly be updating more…until move countries (again) but then I will be up and running as soon as I can. I hope you enjoyed it.
