Annabeth's POV

I woke this morning in Percy's arms at the beach. I didn't want to get up. Partly because it felt so good to be in Percy's grip and partly because I had a feeling that today would be really bad. Anyways, I watched Percy sleep for a while. He smiled slightly in his sleep and he didn't snore. (That would have been kind gross for PJO) I lightly shook him and he woke up.

"Morning."

"Morning to yourself, Seaweed Brain. We'd better get back to our cabins before someone finds out."

"Right."

We went our own ways and I felt… lonely. I've been away from him for like, five seconds and I already miss him. What would I do without him? I sneaked into my cabin and got into bed. Nobody even noticed me. At breakfast, Percy and I sat where we could at least see each other. The stupid camp rules made campers sit at their parent's table. After breakfast, Percy and I went to the Archery Range. Honestly, we sucked at shooting arrows. We actually did hit a few bulls eyes… but they were on other campers' targets. The Apollo kids tried to hid their laughter when we missed a shot or when we accidentally strung the bow backwards. (What happens is that you grip the string too tight and the wooden part comes toward you. It actually kinda hurts.) So after about five minutes Percy and I got annoyed of archery practice and went to the sword arena. We talked about stuff while we massacred straw dummies.

"You know, the war would have been a lot more easier to fight if all these slain dummies where actual monsters."

"You're such a Seaweed Brain."

"Indeed I am." he said as he pulled me close for a kiss. Well, our kiss got interrupted. We heard the snap of a camera and saw Carrie running away. She was probably going to put it on "" or "" or something like that. And I bet that that Aphrodite was going to somehow get the picture and show it to all the Olympians. I was gonna get her one day.

"Well, that was… crappy."

"Seaweed Brain, maybe you're not that stupid after all.'

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing."

And a minute later, we kissing again and this time, it was undisturbed. When we looked around us, a lot of kids were staring at us.

"Oh yeah, we're at the swords arena, not the beach."

"You're still a Seaweed Brain."

"Whatever. Let's just… leave."

"Right."

As we headed for the beach, I stopped in front of the Aphrodite cabin.

"Percy, do you have a paintball gun?"

"No."

"A dozen eggs?"

"No."

"Spray paint?"

"No."

"Then what do you have that we can use to get back on the Aphrodite kids?"

"I got something."

"What?" you'll see.

We walked closer to the beach the beach until Percy told me to stop.

"Watch this."

He channeled a big wave of water and it splashed all over the Aphrodite cabin. When I looked closely, I saw that there was green seaweed all over the place.

"That'll teach them a lesson."

We stood in front of the Aphrodite cabin and started laughing uncontrollably. There was seaweed all over the place and the Aphrodite kids were screaming everywhere. We heard "Oh my god this seaweed green is like, sooooooooo last, last year!" and "The green goes horribly with all of our furniture!" and "This is sooo gonna take forever to clean up!" and "I'm too beautiful to be doing work" and "Oooh, this green goes goes so well with my skirt! I should make it into a bracelet!" and "We're like, totally not responsible for this!" and so on. Finally, someone asked "Who did this?" and all the campers pointed to us.

"Hey, not our fault. Blame Carrie for taking a picture of us kissing. All eyes were on Carrie, and she said "I'll clean up the mess?"

"Did you upload the picture onto the Internet and share it with anyone?" I asked.

"I only uploaded it onto and ."

"Hmmm…. Give us every single copy of the picture and upload a photo of you making out with… Conner Stoll onto the Internet and I'll clean up the mess for you." Percy said.

"But… but… I don't like Conner."

"JUST DO IT!" the rest of the cabin screamed.

"Okay, okay! Here's the only copy. It's on my camera." She said as she handed the camera to Annabeth.

"Thank you and Percy, clean up this mess."

"Be glad to."

He channeled another wave to the Aphrodite cabin. The wave washed off all of the seaweed, but the cabin members and everything inside were soaked.

"Not our problems." I said as Percy and I left, holding hands.

That night during the campfire, Percy and I went to the forest. It wasn't our favorite place, but if we went to the beach everyday, it would be pretty boring.

"Annabeth, I have something to show you."

"Is it how good of a kisser you are?"

"No, but I am a good kisser. Just follow me."

We went through a lot of paths and finally, we stopped before a big, tall tree. I followed him to the back of the tree and we brushed away some vines and revealed a ladder. We climbed all the way to the top of the tree and we stepped onto this sort of balcony thing.
"Wow Percy this is amazing."

"Yeah. Grover and I built this after you left." He said as he lit a few candles.

"For me? No, for Juniper. But partly for you, in case you ever came back to me."

I gave him a hug.

"Look at the view."

I gasped. The sight was breath-taking. We saw all of camp and most of New York City."

"How did you build this?"

"You know, ladders, hammers, nails, screws, wood… oh, and about fifty naiads."

"I love it!"

"Glad you like it." He said as he pulled me in for a kiss. It was really romantic, the candles, the view, the night, it was like a dream. I know that all you girls out there are jealous because you guys don't have an awesome boyfriend that built a romantic tree house for you! We kissed for more than we used to. I hated it when we had to break up for air. It ruined the feeling and the power of our kiss. Then, it started to rain. I my gods, I was kissing Percy in the rain. That's like a girl's dream come true! When ur kiss ended, the rain had stopped too. Maybe a gift from Aphrodite, because we taught her children to not mess with other people's love. But wait that's really not right. Aphrodite always interferes with other people's love. Must have been the luck of the Irish. Good thing I always forwarded those chain mails. Well, Percy and I lay next to each other as we enjoyed the beauty of the night sky. After about an hour, we headed back to our cabins, hand in hand and fingers intertwined. It wasn't a bad day after all.
