WARNING: THIS IS THE SURPRISE COUPLE!


UNDERNEATH THE MISELTOE

(?'s POV)

"Merry Christmas!" Percy yelled, waving at me.

"Merry Christmas!" I yelled, waving back.

Another Christmas at CHB.

Another year crushing on the same girl.

She was really pretty, even though she didn't really see it. She wasn't like most other girls, who were OBSESSED with the way they looked. She has a different personality than her siblings.

She was amazing.

"GET OVER HERE, SO I CAN STRANGLE YOU!" someone yelled.

I moved aside so Nico could run ahead, laughing, while Thalia chased him, yelling some VERY unflattering names, both in English and ancient Greek.

"YOU'RE DEAD, DI ANGELO!"

"NOT A CHANCE!"

I swear that they're hitting on each other.

"Merry Christmas, Thalico!" an Aphrodite kid yelled.

Unforchanately, it wasn't her.

It was Drew.

Uh-oh.

"WHAT?!" Both of them screeched to a halt.

"You heard me! That's your couple name!"

"WE DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER!"

They both forgot about the snowball and approached Drew.

"Um...um..." Drew looked like she wanted to bolt.

"RUN!" I yelled at her.

"GEE, THANKS!" she yelled back, already running.

"GET BACK HERE!" Both of the aforementioned children of the Big Three yelled.

Most of the other campers cracked up.

And then I saw her.

(?'s POV)

I cracked up as Thalico started to chase Drew around camp.

She was DEFINITELY getting what she deserved. After all, until a while ago, I w one of her slaves! Having to wear those white boots all day...UGH!

(A/N: Dammit, I made it obvious!)

I shuddered violently.

"Hey!" a voice said.

I turned around-and almost died.

My heart started to thump violently.

It was HIM.

My crush.

"Hey," I said back.

Silence.

Stupid, I chided myself. Stupid stupid STUPID!

"How's your dad?" he asked.

"Fine." My dad was a photographer for Vouge. "How's your mom?"

He shrugged. "Okay, I guess."

Another silence.

"Want to get some hot chocolate at the mess hall?" he asked.

I didn't have anything to do anyways, so I said, "Sure."

On the way to the mess hall, we talked more.

"Did you SEE how mad Piper was earlier?"

I laughed. "I thought she was gonna KILL Leo!"

"Yeah, but then he ended up with Reyna in the end."

I could've sworn I heard him mutter, "He's lucky. Unlike me."

"Malcom caught it all on tape."

His eyes lit up. "REALLY?," he exclaimed.

I nodded. "He showed my whole cabin!"

"Even Piper?"

"Yep! Man, she was so embarrassed!"

We both laughed. Then we looked up. Our eyes met.

We held the gaze for a second, then broke away.

My cheeks flushed.

"I'll have to get it from him later..." he decided.

"Yeah..."

We walked in silence the rest of the way.

*DO YOU LIKE LINEBREAKS?!*

"Two hot chocolates, please!"

"With lots of marshmallows!" I added.

The satyr serving the drinks nodded, and started our orders.

Not a lot of people were in the mess hall. Percy and Annabeth were there, and so were a couple of Hephaestus kids. A few of my siblings gossiped. Lou Ellen was talking about monsters with a son of Mars. I think she kinda liked him.

"So!" he said suddenly.

I jumped, startled.

He frowned. "Are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine!" I said hurriedly.

He frowned. "Okay..."

Gosh, did he...LIKE me?!

"Um...can I asked you something?"

I jerked to attention. "What?"

"Are you any good at-"

Suddenly, Annabeth looked our way, and began to snicker. Percy started to laugh as well. My siblings immediately whipped out cameras. Heck, even the satyr working on the drinks started laughing!

"What's so funny?" I demanded.

"What gives?" he inquired.

Wait...they weren't laughing AT us...but...ABOVE us...

Oh, gods.

This was DEFINITELY something to tell Sadie!

Me and him looked up.

A sprig of mistletoe hung above us, supported by a fishing pole.

Our eyes followed the pole to...

"STOLL!" I yelled angrily, leaping up.

He and Katie were laughing behind a pole.

"You know what to do!" Katie called, before collapsing into laughter again,

"THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" he yelled.

Travis got up, wiping tears off his face. "I'll apologize..."

"Good!"

"...AFTER I get a pic!"

"WHAT?!" we both exploded.

Travis held up a camera.

"Just do it!" Lou Ellen yelled.

"Well, it IS misteltoe..." Percy shrugged.

"Please! We'll only spread it around our half of the camp!" one of my siblings pleaded.

"Okay..."

I looked up in his eyes.

We were both nervous.

But we both squeezed our eyes shut and leaned in towards each other.

Our lips crashed.

(Normal POV)

"Travis, are you SURE they won't kill you?" Katie asked.

Travis took another pic of the happy couple. "Nah. Plus, they both like each other."

"How do YOU know?" she asked.

He shrugged. "Well, she came running towards me for advice..."

"And?"

He grinned. "He was gonna ask if she was a good kisser."

"Um, how did you figure that out?" Katie demandEd, hands on hips.

Travis grinned. "He told me last night."


Me: *typing on iPad*

Brother: *plays with toy*

Toy: I'm faster than the speed of sound!

Me: 0.0 SONIC?!

Well, it wasn't a Sonic toy, but it WAS blue XD

So, guess who the couple was!
