Okay, got a few ideas for this chapter. I'm not exactly sure where this is going, so if this is posted and its been awhile since the last chapter, my apologies, but that makes the anticipation better, doesn't it? Also, the "B" button on my keyboard has decided to declare war on me and only put itself when it wants to. So if there is an awkward word in the middle of the story, add a B somewhere to it, and it may or may not make sense. Sorry about that, but I'm trying. Technology. Ugh. Well, thanks for the great reviews for the last chapter! I feel so pumped for this story now.

Annabeth and Percy walked slowly to the campfire, as opposed to her usual speed of walking, trying to get everywhere on time, trying to get there early even, everything the Annabeth way. Of course, Percy was nearly always late or not even knowing where he was going. You know, typical half blood stuff.

"So..." Annabeth began.

"So..." Percy continued. He had an idea of what she was about to ask.

"You aren't going to tell me anything?" she asked. He was right.

Percy took in a breath. He wanted to tell her so bad. It was almost as if what he wanted to say was ripping out of his body. There was so much to say, so much that Percy wasn't even sure he could get it out in one night. As they continued to walk, he kicked the ground, moving a dirt clod forward and knocking a patch of grass to the side. Maybe he was to much like that grass. Finally getting somewhere, moving up, then being knocked over to the side again. He wasn't sure how to really continue, let alone tell his best friend the truth about himself.

"It's alot to say." he said.

"Then get to the point." said Annabeth, looking at him as they walked.

He hesitated for a moment.

"What if I told you I was different?" he asked her.

She laughed. Way to go, Annabeth.

"It wouldn't make a difference. In case you haven't noticed, everyone at this camp is pretty different." she told him. "What do you mean different?"

"Well, not like that. Not anything demigod related." he said.

She nodded, understanding a little bit.

"Well, what is it?"

Percy's heart began to beat faster, like a bass drum in a club dance song. His knees began to feel weak. He froze. Annabeth continued for a few steps forward, then stopped after she noticed he stopped. The look on her face changed. She began to understand this was more serious than she first anticipated. Around them, he could hear the sounds of younger demigods playing, and loud rock music blasting from the Ares cabin, where it looked like inside a fight was being broken up between to brothers. The crackling of the campfire made by Beckendorf could be faintly heard, along with the sound of waves rolling onto the shore. That sounds made Percy feel a bit more comforted.

"This summer... something happened to me." he said.

"Something happened? Where you hurt?" she asked.

"No no no, not a monster attack or anything. Nothing really physical, obviously, its just... I met someone."

Silence. Annabeth looked forward at him. She was quiet.

"Oh... like, in a romantic way?" Annabeth asked.

He nodded to her.

"Who was she?"

Percy could sense the hurt in her voice. For some reason, he was hurting inside as well. He looked deep into her grey eyes, which he hated doing. He could always sense what she was feeling through her eyes. And this time, it was obvious. She really was hurting.

"Not a... not a she." Percy tried to say.

Her mouth dropped for a second. The noises around them seemed to become louder, as the silence between them grew. In the distance, he could see some of the campers sitting at the fire, talking. Some were looking at him and Annabeth, wondering what was going on. Percy looked back at Annabeth. She looked as if she was trying to gather words to say to him, but if they came out, it would sound like a jumbled mess. She took a step back from him as he reached out his arm. First sign that this is not going well.

"Annabeth..." he said. Before he could continue, she stormed off, not to the campfire or the direction of her cabin. He wasn't sure where, but somewhere where Annabeth could get some privacy. The campers at the fire looked even more confused. Percy stormed off himself back to his cabin. He wanted to cry and let it all out. He could see his cabin in the distance, and he made his way to it as he held back all the feelings within him. He made his way into the cabin and slammed the door behind him.

He stood for a moment and looked around him, until his knees seemed to give out. He fell on the floor, crying his heart out.

"Oh gods!" he said, not caring how loud he could have been being. He fell onto the floor, tears running down his face. He felt as if he'd just been punched in the gut or pushed into a locker at school. Or even worse. He managed to get himself standing up and made his way to his bed and fell down onto it, facedown into the pillow. He closed his eyes, not wanting to be here anymore. But before he knew it, he was out. But the dream he would have tonight could change everything.

Percy sat alone in his bed in the Hermes cabin, throwing a small bouncy ball up and catching it. After finding out you're half surpreme being, you can still have your moments of bordem.

He thought back to everything that had happened to him recently. All the action and drama that suddenly made its way into his life. He thought about everything, his previous life, his future, his mother. He still wasn't to sure about the entire Underworld thing. His mother was still alive in the underworld? The fact there was an underworld in the first place was confusing enough. Now he was in a whole new world. Just a few days ago he was at his home, his stepfather breathing down his neck and his mom working tirelessly for him. Maybe compared to Gabe, the underworld wasn't so bad after all.

"Having fun there?" asked a voice.

Percy looked into the doorway to see Luke leaning against the frame watching him, a smile on his face.

"What? Oh yeah, you could say..." Percy began.

"Well, just so you know, I wouldn't exactly-"

The ball exploded over Percy, turning into confeti and smoke. Percy jumped and rolled off his bed, his fall being broken by his elbow. Luke's laughter bellowed.

"Oh... my... GODS!" Luke said, crying from laughter. "I think that was my favorite reaction ever."

Of course. Hermes. The God of pranks as well.

Once the laughter died down, Luke threw a pair of swimsuits at him.

"Thank you...?" asked Percy.

"Get dressed. You look so bored, so I figured I'd take you to the lake. Some pretty cool things down there." he said. "Go!"

He stepped out, leaving Percy alone. Luke was unsually nice to him in everything, with the exception of sword fighting. But swimming? He couldn't turn this down at all. It didn't matter who offered it, if it was swimming, he was perfectly fine going with them.

Percy dressed and stepped out of the door.

"I'm ready." he said.

Luke got up from the couch. "Good."

He walked out the door, followed by Percy. The night air was crisp and cool, nearly perfect. It was cloudless, and starts shone brightly, even the constellations shone down on them. The path to the lake was straight across camp, but Luke began to take him into the forest instead. Percy had read enough Harry Potter to know that forests and "different" types of people wern't exactly the greatest combinations.

"Umm, Luke? Where are we going?" he asked.

"Shhh! It's almost after curfew, remember? But at night this is the best. It's another way to the lake." he explained.

Percy nodded, but for some reason he had an image in his mind Luke might be a serial killer. But all that went away when they arrived at the shore of the Lake, the water slowly lapping over the rocks. It looked cold, but thankfully that didn't matter much to Percy. Temperature never mattered to him at all in the water.

"Can you hold your breath for a while?" he asked.

Percy laughed. "Yeah. For quite a while, I must say."

"Good. We're going somewhere where you're gonna have to hold your breath for a bit." he told him.

Luke took off his shirt and stepped into the water, followed by Percy. The wadded in deaper and deaper until the water was nearly at their shoulders and they could no longer stand, but kick the water beneth them. Percy dunked his head underwater for a second, and came back up. As a son of Poseidon, he didn't have to get wet. But in this case, he decided to feel a bit more normal.

"Okay, where are we headed?" Percy asked.

Luke laughed. "Calm down, son of Poseidon. I'm trying to remember the way real quick..."

He swam for a moment, looking down at the water. Percy looked at him deeply, trying to understand what he was doing. He certainly wasn't a child of Athena.

But before he knew it, Luke splashed water into his face. Percy laughed and splashed back.

"Oh yeah? You want a battle here?" Luke asked.

But Percy was a step ahead of him. A wall of water slammed into Luke's head, sending him under for a second, then he swam back up, spitting the water out.

"Not fair!" he said.

"You didn't say any rules! You're in my turf now." Percy replied.

Luke smiled. He looked into Percy's eyes, and his smile fadded. His look became deadly serious. Thankfully, a small smile appeared back at his face. The two looked into each other's eyes for what seemed like an eternity. But Percy broke it and looked down at the water.

"So are we going anywhere, or what?" he asked. Luke nodded.

"Follow me." he instructed. The two boys went under.

Under water was an incredible thing for Percy. In the water, he always felt rejuvinated. Like there wasn't any care in the world to worry about. He could just swim. But even swimming had its limited, he had no idea where Luke was taking him. They continued going down into the lake until they reached a large underwater cavern. Luke swam inside of it, Percy following. But still, something about this didn't exactly seem safe. It certainly wasn't normal in any way. But the darkness around them, for some reason, began to brighten. He could see his hand in front of him again, then he could see Luke clearly. The tunnel curved upwards, and the two began to rise through the water. Percy hit the surface, being welcomed by the sounds of Luke's heavy breathing. He opened his eyes...

It was the most spectacular thing he'd ever seen. An underwater cavern. The walls and ceiling were made of sparkling diamonds, shining almost exactly like the stars. The water was warm here, like a hot tub would be, without the bubbles. Around him was a magical place, something that seemed to be out of a dream. The diamonds changed colors slowly, from Green to Pink, from Blue to Purple, from Red back to Green. Clearly, he was in a room either built by a genuis or built by a God.

"Luke... this is incredible." Percy managed to get out.

He laughed.

"I agree. I found this a while back. It's one of Aphrodite's springs or something." he explained.

"How did you-"

"I went swimming my first year here with Silena. She said her mother told her to tell me of this place, that it would eventually become important. I'm sure Silena has known about this place for ages, though."

Percy nodded. He looked off to the side and saw a large ledge, made for two people, or so it seemed. Where it was, steam rose around it and the diamonds seemed to shine even brighter than before. He swam to it and pulled himself up, sitting on the ledge. Luke followed him and sat next to him, both their bodies dripped with water.

"Wow..." Percy said again, looking around him.

"Wow." said Luke. Percy turned his head to Luke, only to find Luke was already looking at him.

Silence followed, with the exception of the magical sounds of the room. Every time the colors changed, there was a sound from them. He wasn't sure what it was, but it warmed his heart, like a gentle summer breeze, or the opening to a Disney movie. He laughed for a moment, and Luke smiled, not taking his eyes of Percy.

"Percy... you really are beautiful." he said. He moved his hand up a moved Percy's bangs out of his eyes, giving an even more impressive smile. Percy let out a giggle, followed by Luke's laughter.

"You are so cute." he said again. Percy had an idea of what was happening, or what was going to happen, but he didn't stop. To be honest, he didn't have any desire to stop it. Aphrodite was being generous to him tonight.

Luke began to lean forward. Percy hesitated for a moment, then began to lean in himself. The moment their lips touched, the diamonds around them changed colors instantly to flashing pink, red, and white. But the two had their eyes closed as they took in the moment. The kiss was longer than he expected, and after a few seconds, began to get more passionate. It was his real first, romantic kiss. At least with another guy. Percy opened his eyes in order to see Luke, who was looking back at him.

"Luke, I-" Percy began.

"Shhh. Don't say anything to kill the moment." Luke said, chuckling.

Percy smiled, and Luke leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

"Percy, I know we haven't know each other for to long, and I don't know how things work in the real world. All I know is is that I really want to be with you, Percy. I want to be yours." he said. He certainly knew how to make a date.

But as he said this, everything began to pop into his mind. He thought about Luke's age, his father, his own self. He recently learned nobody was grossed out by demigods dating each other, unless they were from the same cabin. The gods don't have DNA. But he wanted to be with Luke so badly, so very badly... but at the same time, he wasn't sure what he was getting himself into. It felt as if trouble was just going to start. But something still tempted him.

"I would really like that." Percy said.

Luke came back to him and kissed him, a slower, more romantic kiss this time.

"Good." he replied.

"So... you're like, my boyfriend now?" Percy asked Luke, leading to that all to familar laughter.

"As long as you're mine." Luke told him.

They kissed again. Luke leaned back against the wall, Percy laying on his chest, looking up at the ceiling as his hair was played with. Never in his life had he been happier.

Percy awoke with a start. A rainstorm pounded down onto the roof, and in the distance, thunder roared. Zeus was involved in something.

He rolled over onto his side and looked at the wall. He could still feel the tears on his face, and his fellow was a little wet from crying.

But at the same time, he was in shocked at what just happened. Being a demigod, dreams were never for fun. They were sent to him for a reason. But for now, he just thought about Annabeth and Luke. It had happened. He was once... Luke's boyfriend. Now he was remembering what the dreams and memories were in real life. He could rememer holding Luke, kissing Luke, being with Luke... and then he remembered Annabeth. His best friend. But could they stay that way, now that he told her the truth?

He knew Annabeth would get over it. The question was when. How long did he actually have to wait for her to "get over it"? Maybe he should talk to her himself and try to get it out of her, what she was thinking, what was going on.

Percy just hoped there would be no more dreams tonight.
