Okay, REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLY grateful for all of the suggestions! :D It totally put in the mood to write again. Oh and this is placed just after TLO and Silena and Beckendorf didn't die. Well, you've waited long enough so here it is! R&R!

Third Person POV

Matt ran into the living room after making sure Annabeth was in her bedroom. "Look what I found!" he said, waving a video camera in the air. "I know you've been telling Bobby and me to stop invading Annabeth's privacy, but you have got to see this!"

"What is it?" Mr. Chase asked, looking up from his model plane.

"You'll see," Matt replied as he connected the video camera to the television.

*In video*

Silena popped into view and smiled. "Hey Annabeth. It's me, Silena. You don't know it yet but we are eavesdropping. Just to let you know, I'm doing this because I think this will be a very important step in your relationship with . . " She pulled one hand across the space in front of her, like she was going to put it on a marquee. "Percy Jackson. Son of Poseidon." She laughed at herself. "You never know when you might want to relive this moment. Or maybe . . . show it to your child. You know, Percy Jackson Jr. I know you're going to hurt me for saying that. Anyway, say hi to the camp." Now Clarisse, the Stoll brothers, Charlie, and everyone else was in view waiting at the pavilion. "Okay, so you just walked up to Percy and gave him his birthday cupcake. And- You know what? I'll just let you watch it yourself."

She turned it around and it showed Annabeth sit down next to Percy.

"Make a wish," Annabeth said.

"Did you bake this yourself?" he asked, poking at the blue icing.

"Tyson helped."

"That explains why it looks like a chocolate brick," he laughed. "With extra blue cement." She laughed as he blew out the candle, leaving a small tail of smoke up to the sky. He pulled it apart, in a feeble attempt to cut it in half and gave one piece to Annabeth.

After a few minutes of silence, just staring at the ocean, she finally broke the quiet. "You saved the world."

"We saved the world," Percy corrected.

"And Rachel is the new Oracle, which means she won't be dating anybody."

"You don't sound disappointed," he noticed, a small smile playing at his lips. She shrugged.

"Oh, I don't care."

"Uh-huh." She smiled and raised one eyebrow.

"You got something to say to me, Seaweed Brain?"

"You'd probably kick my butt," he said sheepishly.

"You know I'd kick your butt." He turned serious, taking a deep breath.

"When I was at the River Styx, turning invulnerable, Nico said I had to concentrate on one thing that kept me anchored to the world, that made me want to stay mortal."

"Yeah?" Annabeth said, waiting for him to say more.

"Then up on Olympus, when they wanted to make me a god and stuff, I kept thinking-"

"Oh, you so wanted to," Annabeth laughed.

"Well, maybe a little. But I didn't because I thought- I didn't want things to stay the same for eternity, because things could always get better. And I was thinking-" His voice cracked a little and he needed time to calm down.

"Anyone in particular?" Annabeth asked, trying her best not to laugh.

"You're laughing at me," he complained.

"I am not!"

"You are so not making this easy." Then she gave him a warm smile and pulled herself close by putting her arms around his neck.

"I am never, ever going to make things easy for you. Get used to it." He smiled and closed the distance.

"Oh, gross! Annabeth's kissing him!" Bobby complained, pulling up his knees to cover his eyes. Fredrick looked expressionless. Helen looked as if she knew all along.

"Well it's about time!" Clarisse yelled.

"No, Clarisse! You're going to blow it!" Silena tried calling to her without raising her voice too high. Too late. Everyone lit their torches as Percy and Annabeth tore apart. Clarisse and a few other campers lifted the two onto their shoulders as everyone else followed behind, laughing.

"Oh, come on!" Percy complained. "Is there no privacy?"

"The lovebirds need to cool off!" Clarisse yelled happily.

"The canoe lake!" Connor shouted. Both their faces were red from embarrassment and laughter. But the held hands up until they were thrown in the cold lake.

There was a break in the video then the scene changed to the lake. There was a slightly darker spot in the water, indicating where Percy and Annabeth were.

"What do you think there doing down there?" Silena asked, zooming in on the dark spot in the water.

"I think Prissy's making out with his new girlfriend," Clarisse teased. Travis groaned and stomped his foot, making a dent in the wood of the dock.

"Stupid son of Poseidon with his stupid Poseidon-y powers!"

"I think they are making out," Thalia pointed out. "I mean think of it. They've kept all those feeling cooped inside for four years. They're probably thinking that they should let all of that out right now."

"That's what I just said, Pinecone Face," Clarisse growled. Thalia glared at her but then turned back to the water when the spot started getting bigger.

With a big splash, soaking almost everyone, Percy and Annabeth pulled their heads above the water, smiling. "Looks like your little plan backfired" Annabeth smirked.

"Percy!" Silena complained. "You almost got water on my video camera!" Annabeth's jaw dropped.

"You were filming that whole thing!"

"Calm down, Annabeth," Percy said, panicking of what might happen to Silena. Annabeth jumped out of the water and started running after Silena.

"I'm going to kill you, Silena!"

XXXXXXXX

Annabeth came walking into the living room. "What are you guys doing?" She saw the video and got wide-eyed. She ran to the screen and covered the TV with her body, even though she knew they had already seen everything.

XXXXXXXX

The last thing you could hear was the sound of Silena's shriek and Percy yelling, "Bad idea!"

Annabeth squeezed her eyes shut and hoped they wouldn't ask her anything.

"So, you're dating Percy," Fredrick said more as a question. Annabeth sighed and caught Bobby laughing, rolling on the floor.

"Bobby," Annabeth growled. "You were in my drawers?" Annabeth left her post at the television and ran at Bobby.

"No! It wasn't me! I swear it was Matt!" Bobby hid behind Helen, peeking under her arm.

"Just tell us," Helen said. "Your father won't yell. Will you, Fredrick?" She nudged her husband. He didn't answer. He was probably still too shocked from the video.

Annabeth groaned. "Fine, yes. We've been dating for a month. So you four better not ruin it. Meaning none of you are going within one yard of my room and within ten yards of my Drachmas. Is that clear?"

Helen just smiled. "What?" Annabeth asked, suspicious.

"I think it's time to invite Percy over to meet the family."

How'd you like it? It was really fun to write. And I'll do another scene of Percy coming to dinner to meet the Chases. Big thanks to EmmiG for the inspiration to finally write the chapter! I kind of changed the idea just a little bit but I'm still really grateful. I'll try to update soon!
