How's it going fellow demi-gods? Good? Good. That's all I have to say. Leave a comment/suggestion below, and thanks for reading!

"Come on," Annabeth smiled. "Let's go see what the others are up too."

Hazel nodded. "Just let me clean up this mess," she said, gesturing to her legs.

They were covered in a sticky mix of sweat, saliva, and pussy juice. It smelled faintly of pheromones and something tropical, but she knew that going out into public in her state would be somewhat awkward.

Annabeth only smiled as she watched the toned girl before her clean herself.

She really is rather beautiful she thought.

Hazel's long smooth legs merged perfectly with her small, but cute ass. Her hips were very womanly, something Annabeth knew she was proud of, and her complexion overall was a light brown, giving her a very modern look. At first glance, no one would ever guess that she was from the 1940s, an era that found activities such as lesbian sex to be downright immoral. It had taken some convincing, but eventually, Hazel had warmed to the idea of being intimate with Annabeth.

"Ready," Hazel announced.

"Just so you know, Percy is very understanding when it comes to these things. Would you be comfortable with him knowing about what just happened? It might be good to broaden the people who know about it."

She hesitated, but then said, "Only if I tell him about it. I think he already has an idea, but you're right. I should trust him completely."

"Oh and one more thing. I don't know if Frank can smell differently when he changes form, but it might help to not be around him when he's an animal with a good sense of smell."

"I don't unders—ohh…"

"Just be careful until he knows is all I'm saying," Annabeth said with a smile.

"I won't see him until tomorrow though. He's been running some errands for Chiron lately, mostly because he can be very agile when he needs to be. He sent me an Iris message earlier today saying he was going to be back tomorrow morning."

"What kind of errands?" she replied, her interest rising.

"It's usually just scouting or an ally search."

Annabeth nodded. Ally searching was becoming a more prevalent thing since Gaia was on the rise. They had exhausted almost every known contact, and it was becoming difficult to find people who hadn't sided one way or another. When they found groups who did want to fight on the side of the gods, it usually required a lot of bribing on the camp's part to keep them on the right side.

The two girls left the rec room and walked into the sweltering heat of the mid-summer day. Not many people were out, but those who were had sweat dripping down their faces as they desperately tried to find the nearest room with air conditioning. Within minutes, both Hazel and Annabeth's clothes were stuck to their bodies.

"I don't remember this humidity being so violent the last time I was in New York," Hazel gasped.

"You probably weren't there during a heat wave."

"I guess. Hey is that Percy and Jason over there? Are they still practicing?"

"Unbelievable…" muttered Annabeth. "It's over 100 degrees out and they refuse to come in."

She stormed over to where her boyfriend stood panting. His sword gleamed brightly under the harsh sun making him have to squint. Fortunately for him, Jason was having the same problem. They had been doing some repetitions of a side-step parry when the two girls stomped over.

"Hold on Jason," he said. "Is there something wrong?" he asked, glancing at Annabeth.

"Wrong? Percy, it's unbearably hot out! You're going to give yourself a heat stroke if you continue like this, now come inside with me."

"But—"

"No buts! If you come in, I'll make it worth your while," she purred.

Hazel and Jason were bright red, but it wasn't from the heat.

"I'm just going to…" Jason muttered while backing away.

"I think Piper's in the Aphrodite cabin if you want to see her," Annabeth cut in.

"Umm, sure. I'll see you guys later," he called while running towards the cabins.

"Let's go to my cabin," she continued.

Percy and Hazel silently agreed. The three friends walked together though the roasting camp. They stopped in front of the Athena cabin, waiting for a signal that it was empty.

"My siblings should be gone for the day on a trek in the woods, but just to be sure…"

She slowly opened the door and walked in, checking around corners as she went. It was weird to be so paranoid about your own brothers and sisters catching you, but the rules at Camp Half-Blood were very strict. Absolutely no one of any other cabin should be in someone else's cabin.

Annabeth yelled from inside, "No one's here! You can come in now!"

Making sure that nobody was watching, Percy and Hazel quickly strode in, quietly closing the door behind them.

"Something you guys wanted to talk to me about?" he asked, slightly confused.

Annabeth and Hazel shared a brief glance.

"I think I should tell you, as it has something to do with me."

Percy nodded. "Does it have anything to do with what you guys were talking about before?"

"Err…yes, it does. Annabeth told me that you were very open about these sort of things, and next to Frank, I've known you the longest. Even so, I feel pretty awkward telling you this."

"Don't worry about it Hazel. Whatever you have to say, I'm not judging you in any way."

"You're such a good friend," she smiled. "You see what I'm about to tell you involves Annabeth as well."

She waited for a surprised look, but when none came, she continued.

"After I left you, I found her sitting in the forest. We began talking about…well…sex."

Hazel was blushing to her roots. She seemed unable to make eye contact with either of them.

"She led me up to the Big House and into the rec room. We had discussed it before, and I had agreed to engage in…sex."

Her discomfort was tangible.

"I'm guessing you did?" Percy queried.

After several long pauses, she slowly replied, "…Yes…"
