GO FORWARD AND BE EATEN.

GO BACK AND REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

NOT MUCH OF A CHOICE, IS IT?

Okay, I give up. I can't seem to do these in order and I'm not going to hold back on writing for you guys just bacause I can't find inspiration for one chapter. This isn't exactly a filler, but it doesn't really have much impact.

"Dude, you guys are 17, it's just precautionary."

"What do you think we're doing? We are not stupid, and you're not in charge of us."

Percy and Jason were arguing. Of course, everyone expected this; they were, after all not only naturally born that way, but were also trying to co-leader this, mission of the seven. No, the thing that had everyone else listening in on their whispered but still carrying conversation was what they were arguing about. This was that Percy and Annabeth were sleeping together. Not what you're thinking. I mean just lying next to each other in the same bed. Jason did not like this. At all.

Why? Maybe he was jealous because he and Piper weren't a real couple yet. Maybe he thought Athena would blast them all before they defeated Gaea. Maybe he really didn't think it was proper before they were married. Maybe Chiron put him up to it. Whatever the reason, he had decided to ask Percy to sleep in the boy's room with him, Leo and Frank, and to have Annabeth sleep in the girl's room with Piper and Hazel. Jason thought that was a perfectly reasonable request.

Apparently Percy did not.

So he and Jason had been arguing about it for the past 25 minutes. Percy was considering asking Annabeth to back him up, but figured, if she was going to help she would have done it already.

Suddenly Hazel looked up from watching Frank and Annabeth's chess game. They were both thrilled to have found worthy opponents whose style of playing they were not already familiar with.

"I don't get it," she said in a bewildered voice," What's the problem with them sleeping together? I mean, they've done it before."

Dead silence. Everyone froze.

Finally, Leo asked," Hazel, how old are you?"

Hazel grimaced.

"How long have I been alive, or how many years have passed since I was born?" she queried.

"The first one," Leo said gravely.

"Thirteen."

All the boys turned as one to the girls.

Annabeth looked at Piper and said calmly, "I think this is more your forte than mine, Piper."

Piper sputtered," What! Bu-but I can't-I don-don't know how-"her protests were cut short by the look on Annabeth's face.

"Fine," she grumbled, grabbing a still confused Hazel and dragging her out the door.

Annabeth looked back at the chess board.

"Checkmate!" she cried gleefully, and knocked Frank's king over.

Frank, who, after Hazel's announcement, had seemed to be in a state of shock, snapped out of it and groaned.

"Great, that's you 23, me 20. Just great."

"Dude," said Leo sniggering, "you are in so much trouble."

Percy and Jason looked at each other.

"I win," said Percy smirking.

Jason didn't object.

I know it doesn't make any sense, but I was thinking about it a lot and had to write it. By the way, does anyone know exactly what grinding means? Please review and tell me.
