"Annabeth, will you be my girlfriend?" Percy asked with a hopeful smile on his beautiful face, opening the box and pulling out a necklace.

Annabeth gasped. This is the most beautiful necklace she had ever seen. It was simple and small, but she loved it. It was in the shape of a heart, with diamonds dangling at the vertex of it.

"Yes." She managed to breathe out. "Yes, Percy."

Percy breathed out a sigh of relief and grinned widely.

"I'll, um, see you tomorrow? At school?" Percy blushed.

"Oh course." Annabeth said, still giddy. "And I promise not to run away this time."

Thalia guffawed as Annabeth told her what had happened. Thalia had come over to Annabeth's as soon as she had called, reading to hear the news. She brought Juniper and Piper with her.

"Oh my freaking gods! That's like a proposal." Thalia laughed loudly. "Tell me he didn't kneel down! Tell me he didn't!"

"Harhar." Annabeth rolled her eyes, smiling, "He didn't."

"Well, I still think it's incredibly sweet." Juniper smiled softly. "Grover told me the other day that he wanted to make it special for you… I guess he was just waiting for the right time."

Annabeth blushed and looked away happily, playing with the necklace on her neck. The diamond reflected light off of it. It was so beautiful.

Piper watched Annabeth and smiled at the sight of her new friend looking so happy.

"Yo. You look happy!" Nico exclaimed as Percy came through the front door with a bright smile. "You finally did it didn't you?"

Percy nodded and smiled boyishly.

"Well! About time too!" Nico laughed, clapping Percy on the back. "How'd you do it? Wait no Thalia will tell me later."

Percy chuckled and danced into his room and slammed the door.

Nico laughed from the other side.

"WAIT! Percy! Did you kiss her? Or did she kiss you? Or anything?"

"Naw man." Percy said shaking his head. "But it's cool."

"HEY BOYFRIEND!" Thalia screamed from across the quad. Her leather pants were ripped on the right leg and were tucked into white Doc Martens. A white v-neck and a crap ton of necklaces and bracelets hung on her. Her hair was up in a messy bun and her eyes were winged out dramatically.

Percy, Nico, Jason, Grover and Leo all turned around.

All Percy could see was Annabeth. Vice Versa. (:

In fact, by coincidence they were matching. Both in opened denim button ups. Annabeth in black tights and Percy in black jeans. Percy had on his navy converse and Annabeth in her white ones. Annabeth's hair adorned by a ribbon headband thing with the American flag splashed on. Percy's was it's usual messy-ish style.

"Aw you two!" Juniper cooed.

"Babe!" Nico exclaimed animatedly, running to Thalia and picking her up bridal style then swinging her around in his arms.

The rest of the gang looked at Thalico and shook their heads.

"We are not that type." Annabeth whispered to Percy, bumping her hand against his.

"You're right. That's too embarrassing." Percy smiled down at Annabeth and took her hand in his. It fit so perfectly… like they were made for each other.

"Let's get out of this debacle." Annabeth giggled.

"I love it when you talk smart." Percy growled. "It's sexy." Annabeth laughed as they slipped away.

Piper stood next to Jason laughing at the sight before her eyes.

"Your sister is a handful!" Leo said incredulously. "She's hilarious."

"I love Thalia." Piper laughed. Jason rolled his eyes but smiled.

"Hey, we'll be late to class. Let's go Thalico." Jason called.

"We have a ship name!" Nico cried out excitedly.

"Boo you whore." Thalia said to Jason. "You're lame! We are skipping, kay? Have fun losers!" Then she turned her head and smacked her lips against Nico's.

Jason rolled his eyes again as Nico and Thalia rushed away.

"She's an idiot." Jason chuckled. "Let's go. Mr. Pretson hates when we're late."

"No kidding!" Piper chided. "Last time Leo was late, Pretson had a fit. It was hilarious."

"What can I say? I bring the best out of people." Leo smiled impishly, snapping his suspenders.

The trio walked into the school.

"Hey wait where are Annabeth and Percy go?" Leo asked, craning his neck.

Jason and Piper looked at each other and smirked.

"Oh!"

•

"I usually never skip school." Annabeth said to Percy, her hand in his.

"I used to do this a lot back in New York." Percy looked at her with a soft gaze. "But I had to stop cos otherwise my mom would kill me."

"Sally's too sweet." Annabeth smiled. "And I've got a thing for bad boys."

Percy laughed the looked at his girlfriend. They were sitting in his car, in front of the park.

"Hey, I want to show you something I found a couple years back." Annabeth broke the silence and kissed his check. "Come on slow-poke."

They walked through the trees, the vines, the elementary school kid's field trip group… until they stopped at behind a waterfall.

"No body knows about this place but me. I found it during my rebellious stage when I was always running away and stuff." Annabeth chuckled softly. Percy squeezed her hand.

She pushed away a giant boulder and Percy stared in awe at her strength. Then the boulder's space revealed a garden like abyss. Inside was full of greenery, flowers and there was a little pond.

"I'm pretty sure this was the owner's secret place when he build this park… but he died a year before it was finished. Pan. You might've heard of him. He made the most impressive nature preservative and recreations. He's Grover's favorite person ever… so when he passed away Grover was devastated. Anyway." Annabeth ranmbled. "Let's go."

Percy followed her in.

They sat on a moss-covered rock and watched a butterfly flutter by, listening to the beautiful music of nature that Pan had left behind as his legacy.

"Señor Valdez! Would you care joining us for clase? Jah?" The Spanish teacher hit the table with a ruler, causing Leo to jump from his slumber.

"Puedo no… por favor mama…" Leo mumbled.

"Leo! I am not your mamá! WAKE UP NOW AND PAY ATTENCIÓN!"

Piper smiled and pinched Leo's thigh, waking him up.

"Graciás Piper." Senorita Carmen rolled her eyes.

After class, Jason came up to Leo and Piper.

"Yo Valdez. Why are you so sleepy today? It's only second period!" Jason said, looking at Piper and Leo intently. "I swear Senorita was going to kill you. She's about as scary as el Diablo."

"Nice Spanish, Grace." Piper smirked.

"I was working last night…" Leo groaned. "Physics project with Nyssa. We're building a dragon automaton… naming him Festus."

"Cool, bro. But don't loose track of time too much alright?" Jason patted Leo's back.

"Valdez!" Beckondorf called from across the hall. "Heard you and Nyssa are building the dragon! Nice!"

"Thanks man… I could really use some help on it though."

"Bro, I heard from Nyssa that you're amazing. You got it." Beckondorf smiled warmly. "Hey good luck on it, catch you later!"

"Dayum." Piper said. "If Beckondorf is impressed, it's probably hella cool. Can we see it sometime?"

"Only when it's done." Leo said. "You can suffer and wait in the meantime."

Jason laughed as Leo walked away and bumped into a pillar.

"He's adorable." Piper shook her head as she chuckled, watching Leo rub his head.

Jason felt himself bristle a little… was this jealousy?

"…. So I'll catch you later Jason." Piper said.

"Yeah… hey, wanna grab a coffee with me during lunch hours?" Jason asked distractedly.

Piper looked really surprised. "Um. Sure. Yeah… I'd like that."
