Percy was wandering around Camp Half-Blood looking for Annabeth when he saw Piper. "Hey, have you seen Annabeth?"

"Yes, actually I have," she replied with a scowl. Percy raised his eyebrows.

"What happened," he asked.

"She went with Jason to the beach," she said. Percy stepped back with a hurt look on his face.

"And they didn't invite us? What good friends they are..," he scoffed.

"I wonder what they could be doing so that they wouldn't want us around," Piper wondered aloud.

"Yeah, it is kind of suspicious," he said. Piper looked just over Percy's shoulder with a weird look on her face.

"Ummmm," Percy turned around and saw what she was staring at. Annabeth and Jason were walking, very close to each other, he might add, towards a picnic table. "I say we go and see what's going on," Percy declared, starting to walk in their direction.

"No, wait," Piper said. Percy froze midstep and turned back around to face the frustrated girl. "We should wait and see what happens and maybe they'll tell us themselves," she explained.

"Ahhh, you know for a child of Aphrodite, you're pretty smart," Percy told her.

"Thanks," she mumbled playfully punching his arm.

"Hey! That was a compliment!" Defended Percy. Piper smirked and shot a glance over towards the picnic table where her boyfriend and her friend were leaning over a piece of paper. She couldn't help but notice that their arms were touching. Piper sighed and turned back to Percy.

"You know what we should do?" She asked him.

"What?" He said.

"We should make them jealous and them they'll pay attention to us," Piper offered.

"Dude yes!" Percy exclaimed.

"Glad you agree," Piper grinned, "Now, follow my lead."

"Wait why are we following your lead? Why not mine?" Percy wined.

"Because I'm a child of the goddess of love, remember?" Piper rolled her eyes.

"Oh. I knew that," said Percy. Piper started to laugh and walk down the hill. Percy took this as his cue to start acting so he looked at her and grinned. She sat down at the base of the hill and he sat down next to her. Their hips touching. They continued to laugh and look like they were having fun. Then they lay back on the grass and looked at the clouds.
