Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "Your... Cousin?"

Piper nodded her headed furiously, smiling like an idiot. Then, her smile fell, as if she remembered something about him.

"What?" Annabeth asked.

"He's dating someone," Piper said hesitantly.

"WHAT?!" Annabeth screeched. "SERIOUSLY?! Piper you have to break them up!"

"What? No!" Piper refused.

"And why not?" Annabeth huffed, placing her hands on her hips. Piper looked annoyed.

"Because I am not one to interfere with one's love life," she reasoned, rolling her eyes. Annabeth still wouldn't allow it. That girl won't take no for an answer.

"Then do it!"

"Annabeth, you're insane!"

"I'm your friend! Friends do anything for each other!" Annabeth played the friend game. But Piper wouldn't do it.

"Yes, I know, but for this occasion, NO!"

Annabeth screamed. "I NEVER GET ANYTHING I WANT!"

"Oh, really?" Piper pressed.

"YES!" Annabeth huffed.

"You know, Annabeth, I'm starting to think about our friendship." Piper glared when her friend slapped her upside the head the minute her words left her mouth.

"You're a bitch!" Piper screeched. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW!"

Piper shoved Annabeth out of her house and locked the door.

Percy looked out the ocean, the waves overlapping each other in harsh waves. People were laughing and playing in the water, some tanning or relaxing on the sand, the sun's rays shining down on everyone.

"Mister!" Someone called from below his life-watch stand. "My brother is drowning over there!" He said desperately. Percy realised that there was a boy calling for help. Percy jumped, grabbed his paddleboard, and swam to the ocean.

"HELP!" The boy cried, flailing his arms around the water to try and keep afloat. Percy almost reached him, only for the poor boy to drown. Percy cursed, took a deep breath, and went under.

Ocean life was pretty cool to look at, but Percy had no time for that. Looking everywhere, Percy couldn't find the boy. Just as he was about to swim to the surface, blonde hair was seen.

Percy furiously swam to the boy and hauled him up within reach, his chest praying for air. Stars swam in his vision but he forced himself to the surface.

They broke to the surface in breaths, everyone staring at what was happening. Panting, Percy swam back slowly, where the young boy was just recovering. He broke into coughing fits and Percy stopped swimming. The boy started to cry.

"Hey, shh, it's alright," Percy soothed, the boy slowly calming down. "Hey, what's your name?" Percy asked, swimming once again.

"M-M-Malco-m-m..." Malcom shivered. Percy swam faster, nearing the shore. "Malcom Ch-Cha-Chase-e..."

Chase? Percy wondered. "Are you related to Annabeth Chase?" Percy asked and recieved a nod from the shivering boy.

"Annabeth's m-m-mean... She's a b-b-bitch!"

"Don't swear and don't say your sister's mean!" Percy scolded, already reaching the surface. Immiediately, paramedics rushed Malcom in, his parents crying by his side.

"Hey," a voice way too familiar for Percy said.

"Hey, Zoe." Zoe pecked Percy on the cheek.

Zoe hugged her boyfriend, looking up at him full of joy.

"You saved someone!" She praised, smiling down on him. Percy smiled.

"Who is he?" Zoe asked, cuddling her boyfriend to her car since Percy's shift ended five minutes ago.

"Malcom Chase, and yes, your rival's brother."

Zoe calmly walked to her car, Percy tailing after her. However, when she entered the car, Percy blocked his ears as she made a massive screeching fit.
