Never Have I Ever

PoV: Jason

Well the day had started in a hurry. Jason had been roused by Piper at an untimely hour. Leo had stood next to her, tinkering with something small that just looked a bunch of coils to Jason.

"Come on, come on! We have to start decorating the Athena cabin before she wakes up!" she whispered giddily.

When Jason rolled over he saw the bags and boxes that waited for him outside his cabin door. Yep, he really couldn't get an extra 10 minutes of shut eye.

So when Jason, Leo and Piper had managed to haul the bags as silently as possible to the Athena cabin, Piper quietly knocked on the door, Malcom Pace stood in the doorway looking like he had been awake for a while.

"She's not here." He said.

"What do you mean 'she's not here'?" Piper asked indignantly.

"Just like I said, she's not here."

"But where is she then?" Jason asked, his arms already tiring from holding the bags.

"Have you tried cabin 3?" Malcom asked, as if it were the most normal thing. It possibly was.

"Aw man!" Leo whined from behind the stack of boxes he was carrying.

So the three friends strode over to the Poseidon cabin. This time Piper didn't knock, she asked the boys to wait outside just in case. Whatever that case was Jason really didn't want to know. Piper slowly opened the door of the cabin. She turned around to the boys with a sweet smile, and said, "Just don't wake them."

Jason dropped the bags on the ground with a thump. Piper began taking out the incredible amount of floral garlands and started to untangle them. Jason himself held a few slings. He held them up to Piper with his eyebrows raised.

"Put those above the windows, would you?" She ordered.

So Jason walked into the cabin ever so quietly. He glanced at the bunk where Percy and Annabeth lay. She lay with her head on his shoulder. Percy had his arm around her protectively. Jason supposed that it was cute. On the nightstand beside the bed lay a blue Yankees cap.

PoV: Annabeth

She woke up with the smells of sea salt and a something she could only define as Percy. It was a great way to wake up. She lay with her head on his shoulder, Percy had his arm rapped strongly around her. She recalled him stroking her arm until she fell into the pleasant abyss of sleep. She opened her eyes to see the whole Poseidon cabin decorated in a series of floral and colorful garlands. Even more colorful slings and more then 40 balloons. All stuffed in the cabin, it was a vivid sight. Her face immediately brightened at the thought of her friends coming in here early in the morning to decorate the cabin just for her.

Annabeth turned to see her boyfriend sleeping peacefully, a trickle of spittle trickled down the corner of his mouth. She wasn't wrong to tell him all those years ago. He really does drool in his sleep. She shook Percy to try and stir him awake. It worked.

"What?" He croaked.

"You drool in your sleep." She whispered.

At the sound of her voice Percy's sea green eyes shot open. She could honestly get lost in those eyes. However, she didn't as Percy blinked several times to get the sleepiness to leave him.

"Oh my gods," He said as he remembered something very crucial for that day. "It's your birthday." His eyes went big with exuberance.

He kissed her for head.

"Seriously? A for head kiss?" She demanded.

"Well, I haven't brushed my teeth yet…" Percy trailed off as Annabeth crawled further up the pillow to kiss him right on his lips. Yes, they stilled tasted of salt water.

"I don't care she said." With a smile filled full of relish for Percy.

"Happy birthday, wise girl." He whispered at last.

When they were both dressed they sought a way around all the exuberant colors.

They made their way over the marble floor of the dining pavilion towards the table filled with all of her closest friends. Even the ends of the benches and tips of the table were covered in balloons.

"Thanks guys." Annabeth said with a joyous smile as she sat down with Percy next to Piper.

"Oh, no problem." Piper said with a gleeful wink towards Annabeth.

"Yeah, no problem." Leo yawned which earned him a laugh from Annabeth.

As the minutes passed by and the other tables slowly filled up with people, almost everyone offering Annabeth a 'Happy birthday!' or a "Congratulations!". Even Mr. D muttered something like "Felicitations Annie Bell'.

When finally all the tables were filled with all the satyrs, nymphs and naiads, Chiron trotted to the front.

"As some of you may know today is a certain someone's birthday," He said, "For those of you who do not know, Annabeth Chase from cabin 6 turns 18 today." This earned a chorus of applause and the pounding of goblets on the table in celebration. "Settle down campers, however I would like to sing happy birthday to her, as 18 is a big number. On my count, 1- 2- 3-, Happy birthday…" The whole dining pavilion joined in, which had to be at least a 100 voices. More.

When finally the song died down food was served. In the middle of breakfast an out of breath satyr with an orange goatee ran in to the open of the pavilion.

"I'm here, I'm here!" Grover Underwood cried out. Percy and Annabeth immediately got up to welcome their good, good friend back.

"Grover! What are you doing here!" Annabeth cried out.

"I came for you of course. Happy birthday." He said.

"Hey man!" Percy said as he bumped knuckles with Grover.

"Join us for breakfast." Annabeth said, already clearing a space for him. Within seconds Grover sat at the head of the table chewing a tin can.

After breakfast the 13 teens (Juniper had shortly joined the group as soon as she learned that Grover was home) headed down to the strawberry fields, where Piper and Leo had planned her a surprise.

Annabeth was blindfolded, and led by Percy, towards a temporary clearing made by Pollux from the Dionysus cabin. In the clearing lay a red and white checkered blanket, on the blanket lay a series of beanbags and party snacks which normally weren't allowed in camp like chips, real coke and Annabeth's favorite Hershey kisses, every flavor possible.

When Annabeth was allowed to take of her blindfold she gasped.

"Oh its wonderful!" She exclaimed.

Piper and Leo shared matching smirks. When everyone still stood taking in the fascinating sight, Leo said, "Well choose a seat, people, honestly, me and beauty queen didn't just prepare this so you could stare at it." This comment earned a few laughs, and everyone scrambled for seats.

Annabeth herself chose a beanbag the furthest from the food as the other ones were already taken, she settled between Percy and Piper. This day was so perfect so far. Hazel threw Annabeth the bag of Hershey kisses labeled extra dark, Annabeth gave a her an appreciative look. She opened the bag an dived into the entire bag of yumminess.

Leo had opened a bag of spicy Cheetos, his face and fingers already covered in red powder. "So shall we do presents?" He asked. Several mutters of agreement came from the kids. "Who's all got their gifts here?" Leo asked.

Everyone did. So Annabeth started opening presents. The first one was from Piper,

"I'm not sure if you'll like it, but it reminded me of you." She said.

Annabeth accepted the box from Piper, when she opened it a pair of brown ankle boots stared back at her. Both had a little silver clasp, and a small heel. With other words they were awesome sauce.

"Oh my gods, Piper! Thank you!" Annabeth side hugged Piper. She put the gift down. Next was Calypso. She pulled a small olive green pouch from her jeans pocket.

"Happy birthday, Annabeth." She said. Calypso cast one last nervous look at the pouch before handing it to her.

Annabeth untied the top of the green pouch and saw a small, delicate, obviously self-made (which didn't make it any less stunning) bracelet. Thin metal entwined and met in so many different places that it was hard to follow one piece all the way. It was exquisite.

"It's exquisite, Calypso." Annabeth said before slipping it on to her wrist.

Calypso obviously pleased with herself sat back, Annabeth heard Leo whisper something like, "I told you, Chica."

Annabeth got so many presents handed to her that by the end there was an impressive amount of presents by her feet. There was only one person who she was lacking a present from and that boyfriend of hers had been smirking all day long. He better give her something good. Annabeth thought only half joking.

"This is half of my present." Percy said, as he opened a giant box filled with…blue cake. Annabeth got up kissed her seaweed brain of a boyfriend for a fool 30 seconds and took the blue cake gratefully. Only half of his present, what was the other half? As if reading her thoughts Percy said, "You'll get the other part later." Annabeth nodded skeptically.

When half an hour later Annabeth had finally finished thanking everyone for the generous amount of gifts, Leo asked, "So what game shall we play?"

"Oh, oh! I know!" Of course Piper did. She always played very intimate games, although they could be fun. "Let's play Never Have I Ever. Every time you have done something you have to take a drink of your coke. Okay?" Piper didn't wait for an answer she simply started handing out the Cokes. This could be interesting, Annabeth thought.

Once everyone had gotten hold of a coke and popped it, the daring statements started rolling in. "Never Have I Ever kissed my crush." Reyna stated.

Everyone took a sip of coke.

As Truth or Dare had been played the order of the person talking rotated. Frank's turn.

"Never Have I Ever had alcohol before." He finally said.

Everyone took a sip.

"Hazel?" Annabeth asked, astonished.

She shrugged, "My mom and I lived over a bar. Me and Sammy once stole a bottle and tried some beer."

Hazel's turn,

"Never have I ever driven a car."

Percy, Piper, Jason, Annabeth, Frank and Reyna lifted their drinks to their lips.

Nico's turn. Nico shook his shaggy shoulders.

"Never Have I Ever kissed someone and regretted it." He said.

In silence, Percy, Hazel, Calypso and Juniper drank.

Nico led out a breath he had apparently been holding for a while.

Will's turn.

"Never Have I Ever kissed a friend."

Percy and Hazel drank.

"Seriously, Percy, bro your drinking on every one of them." Jason noted.

Percy shrugged his shoulders.

Percy's turn.

"Never Have I Ever cheated on a test."

Everyone but Annabeth, Hazel, Reyna and Calypso drank.

Annabeth's turn. What was she gonna say? Intimate or not? Not intimate would be the sensible thing to do. You know what she thought, Why the hell not?

"Never Have I Ever done it." She said.

"It?" Piper asked.

"Yes, it." Annabeth confirmed.

Annabeth, Percy, Jason, Piper, Reyna, Grover and Juniper drank.

Everyone but the people who drank raised their eyebrows. The drinkers, turned varies shades of crimson.

"Seriously guys? While we were on the Argo II?" Hazel asked.

Percy and Annabeth turned a deeper shade of crimson. Maybe she shouldn't of said that.

"Ew, ew gross." Piper said, "Thank you for sharing guys, honestly, next,"

"Never Have I Ever received flowers."

All the girls drank.

(Sorry, I just don't wanna rush Wise Girl's birthday too much so I'm writing it in two chapters.)

Semper ad meliora! Vale, Populus.
