Also my next update will be after i get 2 more reviews and on the weekends expect about 3 new chapters. I know you're all anxious for the next chapter so here it is:

PERCY

My life was absolutely perfect for the first time.

I had my amazing girlfriend Annabeth at my side pretty much every minute of every day, In 2 days we had gone on so many dates, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and moonlight dates. We hadn't spent 8 whole months together so we had a lot of catching up to do.

FLASHBACK: "Back in a flash."

I grinned at her. I ran like a maniac into my cabin ripped my toga off and threw on a pair of jeans and a purple camp Jupiter shirt. I jumped up and ran for the door, stopping before I could slam into the door and ruin my day with Annabeth.

"So where do you want to go?" she asked

"I'm going to give you a tour of Camp then take you to my favorite spot in camp. After all that I'm going to take you out to eat."

Annabeth laughed "What do you mean 'out to eat'?"

"There are plenty of restaurants in New Rome."

"Alright let's go."

Percy showed her the Principia, the forum where all the demigods and legacies lived and went to college.

"You can go to college here, get married and start a family safe from any danger." I said quietly.

Annabeth turned, shocked but also happy. "Oh Percy… Maybe we could one day but we have to survive this quest first. Maybe we could even build something like that back home."

"Definitely. That wraps up our tour; I'm going to take you to my favorite spot."

"ok."

I steered her towards a cliff overlooking the ocean and my favorite spot in all of camp.

"It's so beautiful."

"I wouldn't say that with you here." Even with the wind messing up her hair, her eyes bloodshot from crying tears of happiness she looked so gorgeous,(and i would never say this aloud because even though Aphrodite loved us as a coupled she was still capable of blasting me to bits.) even more than Aphrodite did when I had met her.

She was a 1,000 times better than the view off the cliff.

"I love you so much." I said

"What and you think I don't?" she said sarcastically. I wrapped her into a bear hug, and leaned down to kiss her. When I always had her around me I never realized how much I love her laugh, the smell of her hair, and most, her stunningly analyzing eyes that could be thinking a million things at once but that still took my breath away. .. Suddenly I had the most hilarious idea ever. I pushed her towards the edge of the cliff but she didn't notice. I willed the ocean to form two enormously long arms. Her head was near my neck so I knew she would never see it coming. The arms grabbed her, yanking her out of my grasp, but very gently.

"What the HELL? PERCYYYYYYY!"

By then I was laughing uncontrollably, she looked so damn funny! I jumped down landing softly in the water. She was kicking and swimming all around; I pulled her towards the deep (well not for me, but for her) part of the lake. She relaxed and realized what I was doing. I willed the ocean to make an air bubble. She leaned in to kiss me…..Let's just say it was the SECOND best underwater kiss of all time.

PIPER:

When Annabeth and Percy finally made their reunion she saw that the other Aphrodite girls were right : they really were a cute couple. If only Jason and I could be like that she thought glumly. When he saw this girl in a purple cape he was practically drooling. I had the biggest impulse to slap him. He was turning into Leo! Anyway Jason started talking.

"Hi Fellow Romans I'm back."

The entire crowd cheered for their long lost hero. He started to open his mouth but out of the corner of my eye I saw Annnabeth running up to the guy I assumed was Percy because she tackled him yelling

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST 8 MONTHS?"

"Ow."

"Oh My gods, Percy I'm so sorry. I-" he kissed her. Being an Aphrodite girl, a really huge part of me wanted to cheer for them the other part was all like: you'll ruin their perfect reunion! They broke apart obviously they were making a huge scene and that did not seem like Annabeth but I guess it was okay, she hadn't seen her boyfriend in 8 months! They were whispering until Percy called to a girl in a purple cape

"Reyna! Come here."

Anyway Jason broke away from the crowd and gestured me over to him.

"Hey, Piper. I've been meaning to ask you something..." "What?" I asked "Will you be my girlfriend?" OMG! My heart swelled with excitement and love. "Oh my gods, yes!" Jason smiled at me

"Awesome. Now another question... Can I….. Kiss you?" he blushed.

I prayed to mom: THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Mom: of course dear. You're my daughter. You will always have a good love life.

"Yeah." I said.

He leaned in to kiss me and I have never felt better in my life. His lips touched mine and threw my arms around him. I wanted to tangle my hands in his hair,but it seemed too early, I mean he literally asked me out a minute ago. We stayed like that for a while until we broke apart, out of breath. I grinned at him; he smiled back at me making my heart go all melty. I couldn't believe what had just happened! My first kiss was so felt so special because it's with someone I know likes me back, obviously if he had asked me to be his girlfriend and asked to kiss me, but still.

I heard a squeal like a person stepping on a puppies' tail. It was that girl, Reyna. Jason started to say something but she had already ran away. He glanced at me and I nodded. I knew that girl liked Jason before he'd gotten lost and all that. Again, being a daughter of Aphrodite I understood. He ran off to find her, to tell her why he'd done that. I sighed. Finally. My first real kiss with Jason.
