Hey, hey! I meant to update on Valentine's Day, but I didn't get enough time on the computer to finish this chapter! :( *Sigh* But you get it now, so Happy (Late) Valentine's Day!

Piper

Even though Annabeth had been kidding, I did help her pick out an outfit to wear. We ended up putting her in skinny jeans and a long sleeve grey shirt that had an owl on the front, with her owl earrings, and, of course, she had her camp necklace.

I kept on thinking of Annabeth's plan. Not one of those pranking plans the Stoll Brother's come up with, but a romantic-date-like plan.

It was genius. And it really helped that Annabeth was able to get Leo's help. Even though Annabeth was smart, I'm not so sure if she could've pulled this off without Repair Boy.

By the time Annabeth had to leave to meet Percy, everything was set, and Jason had come by to deliver Annabeth a note (from Percy). So I guessed Percy had a few ideas of his own.

Ten minutes after Annabeth left, Reyna, Hazel, and I were back to being as bored as ever. There was nothing to do on this ship. Other then train and get to know people you didn't know well.

Then an idea hit me. I smiled and Hazel looked at me.

"What are you thinking?" She asked cautiously. I figured I looked like Jaycee and the Stolls after they got a prank idea.

"I'm thinking that we spy on Percy and Annabeth's little date." Reyna looked up from her book and smiled too.

"Oh, this'll be good," Reyna laughed, and Hazel got a wide smile on her face.

Together the three of us sneaked off towards the simulation area, where Percy and Annabeth were.

Leo had tricked out the thing so that Percy and Annabeth could pretend to be on a beach watching the stars and not fight monsters. It was her idea of a date, since she and Percy hadn't been on a date in 8 months. I figured they were overdue for one.

We could see Percy and Annabeth talking and laughing, and it was different to see Annabeth laughing and smiling and joking around. She was actually having a good time. She looked relaxed, and ok with life, even though they were all on a suicide mission of a quest.

Hazel cocked her head at them and sighed. A smile was playing on her lips.

"It's nice," She said, "to see them like that. He wouldn't stop talking about her, and now…."

Her sentence trailed off, and I sighed.

"It's really romantic, isn't it? But I think it'd be better, if we could see what they see," Reyna stated. I frowned and looked around for the simulation glasses.

Where are those things? I turned my head from side to side. Nothing.

Okay, if I were Leo, where would I put them?

I ran to the nearest simulation station. Hmm….

Aha! I grabbed the three from the charging station they were sitting in. Who knew the glasses need to charge?

I rushed back to Reyna and Hazel and handed them a pair of glasses. Then, without hesitation, I put the glasses on.

The scene slowly formed in front of me. I could smell the salty beach air. I could hear the waves crashing against the sand and the seagulls overhead somewhere. I could also hear people's voices, their laughter.

I looked to my right and saw Annabeth and Percy lying on a beach blanket looking up at the sky, pointing out certain constellations and remembering certain memories. I hid behind a near sand dune, awaiting Reyna and Hazel to appear too.

I decided to listen in on Percy and Annabeth's conversation.

"-and I thought when you disappeared for two weeks was torture! This eight month thing was-was-was-" Annabeth stuttered.

Percy laughed and sat up. "Wise Girl? At a loss for words? Well, there's a first time for everything!"

Annabeth sat up as well and smiled and punched his shoulder. "Shut up," She mumbled.

Percy just smiled, and then looked out over the ocean, leaving me wondering what he might be thinking.

"Remember when you used to hate me?" Percy said.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "I didn't hate you. We just weren't supposed to get along. But Mom will just have to deal with it."

Percy laughed. "I seriously don't believe that you didn't hate me! I mean, you couldn't stop glaring whenever I was around!"

"Maybe it was because I smelled a Seaweed Brain."

This time Percy lightly punched Annabeth's shoulder. I just stared at them, wondering why it was taking Reyna and Hazel so long to get here.

Someone behind me sighed and I jumped, struggling not to scream out in terror.

I turned and saw Hazel with a dreamy look on her face.

"I wish I could go on a date like this with Frank," Hazel sighed. Reyna looked a little disgusted.

"And I'm just glad they're not one of those really mushy and romantic couples that make-out every other minute," Reyna stated. I laughed silently as I rolled my eyes, and turned around, back to Percy and Annabeth.

"-gift you left was very clever." Percy rolled his eyes. Annabeth blushed and laughed.

"Well after you told me of that Panda Pillow Pet, I thought you might want a new one." Annabeth continued to laugh. Percy just smiled and laughed along, though his sound more like 'Oh, ha-ha, laugh it up now'.

Percy then started to lean in to kiss Annabeth, and Annabeth's arms found their way to his neck. When they were so close-so close-to kissing, the boat shook, and our glasses fell off.

The beach disappeared. We were back in the training center, by the simulation area. But the boat was still shaking. Cracks started to crawl up the sides of the walls, and I'm pretty sure I let loose a small scream. Percy grabbed Annabeth's hand-apparently their glasses had fallen off too-and together they rushed out of the training center.

Reyna was the only one who seemed unfazed by the shaking, and she was now pushing me and a shocked Hazel out of the training center, and onto the upper deck, where people had started to gather. I noticed the serious looks on people's faces and the scared look on others.

Jaycee and the Stoll's didn't even bother pick-pocketing the people around them, who were too shocked or scared to move or notice anything. Leo's panicked voice came over the intercom.

"May-day, May-day! We're going doooooown!"

The only thing I remember is a growing blackness and the screams of terrified demigods.

Yeah, sorry bout the 'May-day' my computer only allows me to type it like that, and, yeah...I really don't know another way to write it XD And I thought you all might want to know, I'm writing my own book. :P It probably won't actually be published, cause I'm only thirteen, but my friends and some other people can read it, so, yeah. Ummm...yeah, I think that's it! Til next time the computer's available...
