"'The Lilly Pad Place'?" Annabeth read out loud. "This is where you're taking me for our date?"

The two were standing in front of a shabby looking theater house with faded posters all over the front.

Percy nodded his head. "Yeppers!" He looked deep in Annabeths eyes. "Are you mad?"

One couldn't help but smile at those eyes. "No, I'm not mad... Just surprised. This isn't really your style." Annabeth said. "I hope its decent."

Percy shrugged. "I honestly don't know. Paul used to know these guys and he said they were top-notch performers..." He put his arm around her shoulders tentatively. "You know, you really do look different. I don't know why or how but you do."

Now it was Annabeths turn to be concerned. "Do you like it? I just thought I'd try something different and I'm not sure how it worked."

"No, I like it." Percy said slowly, "It'll just take some getting used to I guess. What did you say you did again?"

Annabeth turned her face away and folded her arms. "Nothing. Lets go get our seats."

The theater house was not big, it had old carpet and dusty walls. The stairs creaked and there was a musty sort of smell about the placed, it wasn't very light in the lobby but Annabeth still noticed the wine stains and unwashed windows. She swallowed her regret and swore she would have a good time with Percy.

The two sat in the dead center of the theater and waited. They were the youngest in the room by at least thirty years and got plenty of weird looks. Of course they dealt with that by completely ignoring everyone else and laughed with each other.

Soon the small theater filled up and the lights were dimmed. The shabby curtains were lifted up to reveal and pretty dark haired woman in a white dress standing in the middle of an almost empty stage.

The dress was Greek. Annabeth could pick that out in a moment, she looked sideways at Percy to catch him looking at her worriedly.

"Watch the play." She teased under her breath as the woman on stage began her monolog.

"You watch the play." Percy hissed back, nudging her arm. So she did.

I'll save you the boring details of the play, but I'll tell you it was a fantastic performance. It went through 3 of the most popular Greek myths, and although a lot of it was wrong, each and every actor played their park convincingly.

It was beautiful.

Annabeth watched, entrapped with the simple setting of the stage, and the cheap, yet convincing props.

When it was finished, both Annabeth and Percy gave a standing ovation and walked out satisfied.

"Well I wasn't expecting that." Annabeth told Percy when they started their walk home. "It was actually really good. I mean, they did mess up a few major parts but they did well, and obviously they didn't have a large budget."

"Sooooo, you don't hate me?" Percy asked.

"Hate you? Of course not Seaweed Brain. Why would you say that?"

Percy shrugged. "It wasn't a very fancy date, and then the whole Nancy thing... Plus I wasn't sure how you'd react to the Greek play."

"Who says I need fancy?" Annabeth demanded. "I've had next to nothing my whole life... Fancy would scare me away. You did just right." She turned to peck him on the cheek but he caught her face with his hands and kissed her firmly on the lips.

After a moment her pulled away. "Are... Are you wearing lipstick?" He asked, completely confused.

She blushed. "Maybe?"

Percy eyes lite up with glee. "You are! You're wearing make-up!" He started laughing, "Never thought I'd see the day when Annabeth Chase wears make-up!"

He threw his arm around her shoulders and tried to keep walking, Annabeth face was completely red now.

"This isn't the first time I guess..." He continued, not seeing how thin the ice he was treading on was. "That one time on CeCe's island..."

Annabeth shoved his arm off of her and turned to glare at him. "But do I need to remind you that while I was wearing make-up you," She jabbed a finger at his chest, "were a freaking guinea pig?!" She turned away from him and started to stalk away.

Percy stood shocked for a second before he ran after her. "Hey, Wise Girl." He said as he came up behind her. "Why are you acting like this? I was just having fun. I didn't even say anything bad."

Annabeth slowed.

"I said you looked nice today like, six times too! You didn't have to get so offended. I didn't know."

"Okay, okay, okay!" She put her hands over her ears. "If I apologize for yelling at you will you shut up?" She asked.

"Sure?" Percy said, "Unless that's the wrong answer! Then no."

"You're such an idiot." Annabeth groaned. "I'm sorry for yelling at you." She said though gritted teeth.

"I forgive you." Percy said carefully.

They walked in silence for a few minutes.

"Wanna go grab a taco?" Percy asked suddenly.

Annabeth had to laugh at the randomness. She looked at the sun, who was just starting to set.

"Sure Percy. I'd love a taco."

He was so overjoyed that he grabbed her and kissed her again, this time a little bit more passionately. When the two finally broke apart there was lipstick all over Percy's mouth.

"Eww! Gross!" He said. "Now I'm wearing lipstick too!"

Annabeth laughed. "Blame yourself. I didn't ask you to kiss me." She then pulled out the wet wipes out of her backpack and handed one to him. "Here, clean yourself off."

Percy took it and wiped his mouth. "You should too. You look like you've been kissing a clown."

Judging by the way Percy looked, Annabeth guessed it probably wasn't a very far off comparison. "Okay, so no more lipstick for a while I guess..." She wasn't really disappointed. "Lets go eat, I'm hungry."

The two were soon seated at the closest taco place eating tacos.

Annabeth was enjoying herself when she noticed something weird. "Hey Percy." She said. "Look at my cup."

"What?" Percy looked. "What am I looking at."

"It stopped." Annabeth was studying the water. "It was swirling around and nobody was touching it."

Percy scoffed. "Sure... Hey, did you see the new sword Jake from the Hephaestus cabin made? It was awesome! The hilt was smaller then most swords but the blade was still normal sized, it makes it hard to use but once you've got the technique down it'll be so cool and-"

"It's doing it again!" Annabeth said, but the second Percy looked it stopped. "Percy," Annabeth mind started going. "I think you're doing it."

"Me? No I'm not."

"I think you are. Every time you get distracted or jittery the water starts swirling. Try making it go!"

"Okaaaaay." Percy stared at the water, slowly it started swirling around.

"Cool! Can you make it do anything else?" Annabeth asked.

Percy glanced around the restaurant to make sure no one was watching, then he focused his green eyes on the water. He propped his elbows on the table and moved his hands around, the water followed him. With another quick glance he lifted the water out of the cup. it floated around the table before Percy returned it to the cup.

Annabeth's eyes were sparkling. "Ladies and gentlemen, my boyfriend, the water bender!" She clapped quietly for him.

"Do you know how cool it would be to be a water bender?!" Percy asked. "And my powers wouldn't be weird. But I don't think you'd be a water bender..." He put his 'thinking face' on. "What kind of bender would you be?"

"Duh!" Annabeth flipped her hair. "Of course I' be the Avatar because I'm just the best." She shrugged.

"Is that a fact?" Percy asked, an evil glint in his eyes.

"Yep. I'd be the Avatar and you'd be my little water bending side kick."

"Side kick? I don't think so."

"I know so."

"The little water bending side kick who can do this!" At that moment he flicked his hand upwards and the contents of Annabeth's cup flew in the air and splashed her face. "You're the worst avatar ever." He smirked.

Annabeth swore, got up from the table and ran to the ladies room, leaving Percy all by himself.

Three minutes later she was back, shooting daggers out of her eyes. They sat in silence for a moment, Annabeth glaring and Percy trying to hide behind the menu.

"You're the worst boyfriend ever." Annabeth finally spoke, her voice cut at Percy cruelly.

"Hey," He said meekly, "I don't get what's so bad."

"Well first you ruined my lipstick, and then you threw water all over my face and completely destroyed my eye make-up."

"Oh." Percy fiddled with Riptide, in pen form. "I forgot, I'm not used to you wearing make-up."

Annabeth sat staring stonily at him.

"Sorry." Percy said, giving her the biggest, saddest, greenest, most adorablest puppy-dog eyes ever given.

Annabeth's resolve was quickly crumbling. First her lips started twitching, then her eyes started sparkling. "FINE!" She yelled, exasperated. "I forgive you but only 'cause you're so dam cute."

"Cute?" Percy was appalled. "I'm not cute."

"I beg to differ." Then She leaned across the table and kissed him. Because she could and because she knew that he would kiss her back.
