Annabeth's POV
After the extremely embarrassing run-in with Percy's dad, we swam back to shore. I looked back at Percy, who was completely dry. I looked down and so was I. Percy smiled.
"Wow." I exclaimed,
"What?" He asked, his sea-green eyes looked straight into mine.
"You're not completely useless." I grinned. He shot me a playful look. "I would say the same thing about you, but I'd be lying." I rolled my eyes and hit him on the arm. We walked back to camp, his arm casually around me. His excuse? "I lost feeling in it when you hit me so hard!"
I hear singing as we approach the camp. The campfire roared with excitement. We joined in, sitting next to Piper, Jason, Hazel and Frank. Piper smiled over at me. I put my arm over her shoulders, giving her a sideways hug. Hazel smiles over at me too, and I return it. I like Hazel, I really do, but ever since Sparta, Piper and I have become much closer. I sing along to the song, even though lyrics made absolutely no sense.
I've got a...
Bear in a pocket and a beaver in my wallet, and pepperoni in my tea!
I've got a cab on my roof, someone called me a doof, so I punched them one two three!
I sat on so roses, licked a apartment, smashed a guitar and drank my pepperoni tea!
I've been singing this song for years, and I still don't understand it at all. Strangely, this is still my favorite camp song.
We sang a few more, and Mr. D looked like he wanted to scream. And then he did. "Alright! Enough! Go back to your cabins now!"
As everyone was walking back, I called my brother Malcolm to me. "Hey, when the patrol harpies come to check our cabin, tell them I'm at the bathroom, kay?" He nodded, knowing very much where I'm actually going to be. After they checked everyone's cabin, I leave the bathroom, about to slip in to Percy's cabin when a patrol harpy stopped me. I told them I was coming back from the bathroom, pointing. The harpy looked in the direction I pointed. I slipped in Percy's door, shutting it behind me silently. I send a signal to Percy to hush up until the harpy flew away. I nodded when it flew somewhere else.
"Thought you'd never get here, Wise Girl." He scoots over in his bed so I could lay down with him. After we were both settled, we started talking about our futures.
"So what's the game plan after college?" I've been dreading this question, so I didn't answer right away...
"Annabeth?" I gulped. "Annabeth, you don't think I'd ditch you for some Roman girl, do you?"
"I-I don't know! Can you blame me for having doubts?"
"Yes, because you should know by now that you're the only one for me. I'll be by your side until my last breath. I love you and only you." He sounded so reassuring. I knew he had meant every word too. It did seem a little ridiculous now to think he'd fall in love with someone else. I give him a hug, burying my face in his chest. His arms went around my waist. And then we kissed. And kissed. And kissed until the sun was about to come up. "What time is it?" I asked, looking at the faint light coming through the window. "Uh, I think it's about 5:30." I curse and look out the door. The coast was clear. After giving my boyfriend a quick goodbye kiss I sneak back to my own cabin.
Piper's POV
After Breakfast, Annabeth, Percy, Jason and I decided to do something together. Leo, and Calypso had originally wanted to go with us, but after we decided to go on a Pegasus ride Calypso said no, the ride on Festus back to Camp Half-Blood had been to much for her.
So now we were in the stables, Percy saying something to the horses. "You can really understand them?" I ask him, puzzled. He nods. "Blackjack just said, 'Hey boss, what's with all da new people? You gots any sugar cubes?'" He translated, giving the black pegasus a sugar cube out of his pocket. Blackjack seemed satisfied.
"How's your arrow wound feeling?" Percy asked. He waited a minute, I guess Blackjack was responding. "Think you're good enough to fly?" Blackjack stood up on two legs, then fell down gracefully. Percy opened Blackjack's stable door and the next one, which belonged to a cream-colored pegasus. I petted the muzzle of the cream-colored one. "Aww, hey, what's your name little guy?" I asked the pegasus, but Percy answered. "She says that her name is Aramina and that's she's a girl and not at all that little." I giggle softly. Were all horses this charming? Jason rubbed Aramina's neck, making her nicker softly. Percy gets on Blackjack, then helps Annabeth up. Jason does the same for me. We take flight, and I cling to Jason, not looking down. He looks back at me. "Calm down, Pipes, if we fall I'll catch you. Literally. You know I can." I smirk at him. He turns back, wind flowing through his blond hair. I look over at Annabeth, who was laughing and looking at everything, loving the view. She looks at me, after tucking a strand of blond hair behind her ear. She winks at me, then faces the wind so her hair wouldn't be in her face. She rest her head on Percy's shoulder. I loved how in love they were. When they look at each other, even when they're bickering, you can tell they mean the world to each other. And they have fought by each others side in two wars, so they should be close and they are, I've never seen that kind of bond before. And I want that for me and Jason. Yes, we care and love each other, but Percy and Annabeth seem to read each others minds. Maybe me and Jason should go to Tartarus, it might make us that close. Kidding, kidding, Annabeth has told me how bad it was. I can't imagine how they survived. When the sky started to darken we went back to camp for dinner.
