Here's the update you've been waiting for. I apologize for the long wait, but it's here now. Lol, that would actually be really funny. Also, thanks. It makes me really happy to know that people can reread my fanfic, and not get bored of it. This chapter is partly in Percy's POV. I hope you like it. Also, that would be cool, though. Being able to meet and bond with people that like the same thing as you.

Hello to you, too!

Percy's POV
After a grueling first week of school Saturday had finally come. It was 3:00, and Rachel was going to be here any second. I was really excited about spending time with her, as we haven't been able to do that lately. The doorbell rang, and, after exclaiming, "she's here!" I went to answer it.
Rachel's POV
He pulled the door open with bright smile covering his entire face. He looked like he was excited to see me, just like I was. He looked adorable as always, wearing dark blue jeans, and an AC/DC shirt. His sea green sparkled brightly as they always did, but their brightness seemed to rival the sun when he looked at me. "Percy!" I exclaimed, a smile lighting up my face as I threw myself into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me as close as humanly possible. It felt amazing to be in his embrace again. He kissed my hair, brought me over the threshold, and set me down. Then, he closed the door, and we headed to his room, which was surprisingly clean. He must've cleaned it before I got here.
We sat on his bed, and he asked me what I wanted to do. "Whatever you want." I said, trying to be flirtatious, but without it being painfully obvious that that's what I was doing.
"Well, okay, if that's what you want." He replied, getting up to put a CD in his CD player. I curiously watched him go through his CDs, wondering what he was going to pick. "Do you like Def Leppard?" He asked, holding a Pyromania CD like he was about to play it.
"Never heard of 'em. So, I guess that means we won't know until you press play." I said.
"Okay." He responded, then proceeded to click a button, I think it was the skip one, seven times. After a second or two, I heard the strangest count off ever. It went something like this, "Gunter, Glieben, Glausen, Globen." Then there was music, and by music, I mean good music.
By the 'rise up, gather 'round' part, I was already bopping my head. I was really getting into it when Percy's mom yelled, "Percy! Rachel! Come downstairs, the cookies are ready!" Percy paused the music, and we hurried down the stairs. Percy's mom made the best cookies, and anyone who hasn't had them is clearly missing out.
Sally's POV
When they arrived at the table, they started stuffing their faces with cookies. Actually, no. I take that back. Percy was stuffing his face with cookies. Rachel was staring at him as if she was mesmerized by the insanely messy way my son eats. He gets more cookie on the side of his face than he gets in his mouth. I seriously don't understand how that's possible.
However, once Percy realized she wasn't eating any, he stopped and asked her why she wasn't, and I quote, 'eating any of my mom's delicious cookies'. Rachel then proceeded to stuff her face with cookies. Although she seemed like a nice girl, I didn't really like her. I don't know why, I just have a bad feeling about her. The way she looks at my son, as if she's already planning their wedding. They aren't even in a relationship yet! They're still technically just friends. Also, her hair. She looks like one of those 80s rock bands that were popular when I was about their age. Her hair is just way too poofy for my liking. At least they aren't in a relationship yet.
Percy's POV
After we'd finished eating the cookies I felt that it was time to confess my true feelings to Rachel. I was nervous, I admit, but the idea that Rachel could be my girlfriend was just too good of an offer to pass up. Plus, I'd rather take the chance and see what happens now, than live the rest of my life regretting not telling Rachel how I really felt.
Well, there's no better time than now. Better to just get it over with. I thought to myself. Knowing that my subconscious was right, I pulled the necklace I had bought for her out of my pocket, and asked her the 'big' question.
"Rachel Elizabeth Dare, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked her in a shaking, nerve filled voice, presenting the necklace to her. The smile that lit up her face was the greatest gift of all.
"Of course I will be your girlfriend, Perseus Jackson." She said, her face shining like kid in a candy store.
"May I?" I asked, indicating the necklace. She nodded her head slightly, lifting her hair up. I put the necklace on her, and smiled when I heard the tiny click that meant that the heart shaped locket was now around her neck. Inside of the locket was a picture of me on one half, and a picture of her on the other. I thought it was perfect, and when I asked my mom about it, she said she also liked the idea.
Rachel's POV
OMG! I'm now officially Percy's girlfriend! It took all my self control not to run around the house squealing. The large amount of cookies I'd just had weren't really helping me contain my excitement. It was then that I remembered what we were doing before the cookies. "Percy, can we go back upstairs? I think Def Leppard's growing on me." I whispered in his ear. He nodded, slipping his hand into mine. I gripped his hand tightly, not wanting him to let go.
"Mom, we're going upstairs." He said, then he pulled my into his room, shut the door, and pressed play.
The song, which Percy told me was called 'Rock of Ages', came back on, and before I knew it, the song was over. "I loved it!" I exclaimed. That song may or may not've just become my favorite song.
After listening to a few more songs, Percy's mom told me that my parents were here, and that it was time for me to go. I didn't want to go, and reluctantly made my way downstairs with Percy beside me. I said bye to both of them, but didn't leave before Percy pulled me into a kiss. Sparks flew where his lips met mine, and I don't think anything can compare to the feeling of a first kiss. I felt happy, and it was the happy I'd been in a long time.
"Bye, Rachel." He said as I walked out the door.
"Bye, Percy." I responded, then shut the door behind me and went to my parents car. I was smiling the whole way home, and I couldn't rid myself of that smile if I tried.
Percy's POV
I kissed Rachel. I kissed Rachel. I kissed Rachel. Those words were on a constant loop in my brain, and had been since our lips connected. I was elated, and there was nothing that could bring me down. Not. A. Thing. I don't think I'd ever felt this happy before. I had a smile on my face for the rest of the day, and nothing could rid me of the ear to ear grin that was lighting up my face.
Well, did you like it? I know I did.
Disclaimer pt. 2:
I don't own Def Leppard, or any of their songs.
Also, if you're still here, you should listen to Def Leppard.
