A/N: I'm sorry if this was a little rushed. But I wanted to update this story really soon. I regret to inform you guys that I may not have enough time to update this regularly but I'll try. My pile of procrastinated stories keeps on growing...I hope you enjoy this chapter. I want you guys to know that your reviews are worth it to keep updating this story. You guys are great, again I'll try my best to continue it.

"So do you understand?" Jason asked, going over the plan with Tyler.

"You're telling me you and your girlfriend got reservations to a fancy restaurant for me and Perci? And you basically want me to take her there and say it was all my idea?"

"Pretty much."

"Did I ever tell you that you're the best brother ever?"

"No, but please go on."

"Don't push it...but do I have to wear a suit?"

"Yes. Piper picked out the perfect suit just for you." He handed Tyler a neatly pressed dark blue suit. With a white button up, black dress shoes, and a sky blue tie. "Now get dressed. Your date starts in an hour." Tyler walked to the bathroom, clothes in hand.

"Thanks Jason."

"No problem man. Now hurry up. Don't forget to call Perci first."

"Right." He fished out his monster proof phone and dialed her number.

"Hello? Tyler?"

"Hey Perci. Would like to go out to dinner with me?" For a moment he thought that she hung up on him.

"Yeah, I'd like that. Do I have to wear anything special for the occasion."

"It's a fancy restaurant so wear something nice...that you're obviously comfortable with. Okay? Meet me at the restaurant at 6."

"See you soon." She hung up. Thinking about what to wear. But she had nothing. Until she heard a knock at her cabin door. "Piper!?"

"Hey Perci. So I heard that you were going somewhere. Do you need any help? Say...picking out something like...clothes?"

"Um...Yeah...How did you know?" She asked Piper skeptically.

"It's an Aphrodite thing. Now, I think I've got the perfect thing for you."

"Piper...you're a miracle worker."

"Not a problem. I love to help my friends." She smiled. "Now you should go. And get ready. I'll do your hair."

"Right." Perci stated and headed to the bathroom. After taking a quick shower she emerged, wearing a towel. Her hair dry. Piper had to admit that being able to have your hair dry by the time you stepped out of the shower was incredible. She couldn't help but be a little jealous.

"Hold still Perci."

"What is that...ow. Gods Piper that hurt!"

"It wouldn't if you'd just stay still."

"Ow."

After 30 grueling minutes Piper finished.

"Finally finished." Piper stated.

"Oh thank the Gods." Perci sighed in relief. She stood up and almost tripped. "How do you walk in these?" The heels she wore were three inches. "I've battled a Titan and the twisted children of Gaea. But I feel like this might be worse…"

"Relax, it takes some getting used to."

"Really? I'll take your word for it."

"Go look in the mirror."

"Alright." Perci did just that and stared dumbly at her reflection. "Piper...You really are amazing."

"Hey I try. And by the way I think that you look amazing yourself. I swear if Tyler's jaw doesn't drop…"

"Piper...how did you know that I was going to see Tyler?" She raised an eyebrow at Piper.

"Oh it's easy Jason told me." Piper replied nonchalantly.

"I see."

"Wear this will you?" She stated handing her a coat.

"I don't think it'll cover the dress all the way…"

"Trust me he won't notice until you take it off."

"Alright."

"Now off you go. Enjoy your date." Piper pushed Perci to the door.

"Piper this is my cabin...you should go too."

"You're right. Well like I said, have fun." She waved. And Jogged off to her cabin. She whistled and there was Blackjack.

Hey boss. Wow, you look all dolled up. Going somewhere special?

"Yes I am….and stop calling me boss Blackjack."

No can do boss. Are you ready? It's been awhile since we got to fly.

"It has. Now let's go." she mounted Blackjack and together they arrived flew towards the restaurant.

See ya boss. If you need me just call.

"Bye Blackjack." The pegasus flew away. Leaving Perci alone in front of the restaurant. She was a couple minutes early so she waited idly by the door.

"Hey! Looks like I'm late…" Tyler replied, appearing next to her.

"Hmm..Oh..no I just came here a little early is all."

"Milady." He stated holding the door for her.

"You are quite the gentleman aren't you?" She walked inside. A very well dressed man came up to the two.

"May I take your coat for you?"

"You may." She took off her coat and to say Tyler was blown away would be an understatement. He was knocked off his feet, metaphorically speaking that is. Perci's hair was done up nice. Curled and strewn with pearls. Her dress was long and sky blue transitioning into a soft white color at the bottom. To Tyler she looked like she was walking on a cloud.

"Ahh...ah...You look beautiful." He stuttered.

"Thank you."

"You have reservations?" The same man who took Perci's coat asked.

"Yes. It should be under Grace."

"Grace…" he looked up his name. "Ah yes. Dinner for two. Please right this way." Together they followed the man. Tyler could see some of the other men gawking at Perci. She really did look like a Greek Goddess. He glared them down. They turned away. Their dates looked quite offended. Boy those guys were going to get an earful later.

"Your dinner has already been prepared."

"Thank you." She smiled. He went to fetch their meal as they sat down. "So...this is really fancy."

"Yeah I know."

"Tell me. How did you pull all this together?"

"Oh I have connections."

"Did Jason have anything to do with it?"

"Yeah…" Tyler admitted scratching the back of his neck.

"Hahaha you should really thank him and Piper. Without her I wouldn't be able to look like this."

"Perci, you're still beautiful without all that make up."

"Thanks Tyler. You know, you clean up nicely yourself."

"I have to say. Piper and Jason are like miracle workers."

"True." She smiled and their meal arrived.

They enjoyed every bit of it. They talked about bands and what was going on in their daily lives. Like how well they did at archery or how many monsters they killed in the last week. The norm.

"So your SPQR tattoo...how did your mom react?" Tyler asked.

"Being the best mom in the universe, she smiled and asked where it was done. Needless to say she almost flipped when I told her I was practically branded by a twig of a psycho….Blowfish wasn't that against it. He even showed me a tattoo he got back in college. A fractured skull on his ankle. I have to admit that was pretty cool."

"Seriously? Never thought he would have one of those." They chatted for a few more minutes. Before deciding to leave.

"I had a wonderful time." She stated. As they exited the restaurant.

"I did too." They proceeded to take a stroll around the area. The night was still young and the stars happened to be visible in this part of town. They both admired the constellation of Zoe Nightshade, Cancer the Crab, Gemini and so many others. They were having a splendid time. Tyler just wanted to stay this way for as long as possible. He loved every moment he spent with Perci.

"We should really head back to camp. Unless you want to go back to my mom's place."

"They wouldn't mind?"

"I'm sure mom and Blowfish won't mind. We can take Blackjack."

"Um...You know how I don't do well with heights."

"Don't worry. Trust me. You trust me don't you?"

"Of course I do." She smiled and whistled. Right before them Blackjack appeared.

Yo boss.

"Hey Blackjack. Can you give me and Tyler here a lift to my mom's apartment?"

No problem boss. Hop right on.

"Come on Tyler." She mounted Blackjack and held her hand out for Tyler to take. He grabbed her hand and rode behind Perci.

"Is this going to be over soon."

Hold on tight.

They jerked into the air. Their surroundings blurring. Tyler stifled a scream or yell. While they were flying. Perci turned around to look at Tyler. He looked pale and he was trying his best to stay on.

"Tyler hold on to me." He didn't hesitate as he wrapped his arms securely around her waist. Burying his face into her soft curls. Inhaling deeply he noticed that she smelled like tropical flowers and the sea on a lazy afternoon. He immediately relaxed and before he knew it they were already at her mother's apartment.

"Thanks Blackjack." she patted his muzzle. "I'll be sure to bring you back the biggest juiciest apples I can find."

No problem. And I can't wait boss. But that guy really needs to chill. I wouldn't let him fall.

"I knew you wouldn't. Now go, before my mom sees you." He whinnied in return and flew off. Leaving Perci and Tyler on their own. Alone in Perci's room. Awkwardly standing in the dark.

On Olympus, Aphrodite was basically having a small victory party. "So precious." She cooed. She watched as the two demigods were staring at their shoes. Not knowing what to do now that they were alone. She smiled to herself and thought this would be a greater love story than that of Alcyone and Ceyx. But she sighed to herself as it was a tragic one.

"Aphrodite. Is everything going according to plan?"

"..."

"You know my patience is wearing thin."

"I know, but if you want this to last it needs to take time. Love is complicated, therefore it may take a while. And I sure as Hades am not complaining about it."

"Fine. But I need another champion one that will…"

"Yada yada yada. Cut with the champion crap. I know for a fact that you don't want another champion. You want them together because you can't have any of your own. It would go against your oath to dear old daddy." Aphrodite all but spat.

"Don't you dare make that tone of voice with me young lady."

"Oh boo hoo. I just did. Are you going to take my makeup away?"

"..."

"So if that's all. I'm going to get back to work." She stated turning away from the other to watch her favorite couple. Hera fumed. Before she went back to her home Aphrodite quickly added. "Please for the love of Zeus and all that is holy. You better not go all Rumplestiltskin on them." She stated. "Or there will be Hades to pay from not only me but my siblings will have a field day with you too." Hera looked aghast for a moment and glared at Aphrodite, who didn't even bat a perfect lash at her. She was gone in a flash and Aphrodite just smirked to herself. Hera 0 Aphrodite 6. She loved to get under her "mother's" skin.
