Me: As always, thanks so much to the people that review.

I don't own PJO.

Silena, Charles

Summary preview: She was always a ten to him.

"Okay, Abby. What do you rate me?" Silena asked her little sister, looking over her third outfit.

Abby gazed at her critically, before nodding. " Eight and a half. I like the tights/dress combo, but the shoes don't work well. Look for some ballet flats. And some jewelery." Abby said.

Silena nodded, threw the wedges back in the closet, found a pair of white ballet flats that would go perfectly with her white tights, and white and light gray stripped dress.

Her sister tossed a gray bangle at her, and Silena put it on.

"So?" she asked.

Abby nodded. "It looks good. Maybe a nine. Maybe."

"Abby! This is the first time I've seen Charlie in half a year, and you're telling me this is barely a nine? I need a TEN!" she wailed.

Abby glared. "Well, I'm sorry that my closest isn't packed with as much stylish things as yours' is."

Silena was staying with her dad, but since she usually lived at camp, all of her favorite things were there.

Abby had only seen pictures of her room, but even Silena admitted that her closet was rather amazing.

But Charlie was stopping by here on his way to visit some relatives this winter break, and she HAD to look her best.

"Do you want me to suffer, Mom?" she muttered, running a brush through her hair yet again.

But then the doorbell was ringing, and that could only mean Charlie was here, so she ran downstairs to greet him.

Unfortunately, her dad got there first.

Charlie stood in the doorway, a flower in one hand, and nodded when he saw Silena's dad.

"Hey Charlie." she said, slightly bumping her dad out of the doorway.

"Daddy, this is Charlie. Charlie, this is Dad." she introduced them.

Her dad looked over Charlie, before holding out his hand.

Charlie shook it. "Charles Beckendorf, sir." he said, in that cute polite way of his.

Silena's dad smiled slightly, and moved back to let him in.

"So Charles-"

"I prefer to go by Beckendorf, sir."

Her dad raised an eyebrow, but continued. "Beckendorf, I heard you want to take my daughter on a date."

And so the interrogation began.

About half a hour later, Silena had finally gotten Charlie away from her dad, and they were walking around town.

"I am so sorry about that." she apologized. Charlie laughed.

"Don't worry about it. I was actually expected worse. You look great, by the way."

Silena blushed. "Thanks. I would look better, but I only had my sister's stuff to go through, and even though she rated me at barely a nine, I really did try and get a ten, 'cause it's the first time-"

"Silena?"

"Yeah?"

"You rambled about clothes a lot."

She blushed again. "Oh. Sorry."

Beckendorf grinned and put his hand through her's.

"It's okay. Besides, I always think you're a ten."

She felt a smile spread across her face, that not even the prospect of not seeing him until summer could fade.

Me: Couple-y. I love Silena and Charles. Is it weird that I usually let them have a happy ending, yet I often destroy Percabeth? Maybe it's because they didn't have a happy ending and Percabeth did.

I don't know.

Next Chapter: Teamwork

Percabeth Fluff! :)
