RULES
1. Pick a character or pairing you like: Annabeth and Percy (yes, Annabeth comes first because girls rule.).

1. One Two Step by Ciara
This beat is automatic, supersonic, hypnotic, funky fresh. Work my body, so melodic, this beat rolls right through my chest…
She sucked at dancing, and she admitted it. She had no sense of rhythm and looked like she was having a seizure whenever she tried. That didn't stop her form having fun at the annual camp dance, however.
He, on the other hand, thought her inability to dance was cute. He loved to watch her, even though he knew that she wasn't amazing at it. It was endearing, like his inability to think things through.
They did enjoy dancing together though.
2. Fireflies by Owl City
You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep…
There was nothing like sleeping outside under the stars while they were at camp- especially by the sound. Between the sound of water and the smell of the trees, there would never be anything more relaxing.
And on the warmer nights, when the fireflies came out to light their clearing, they'd laugh and cry and talk and bask in the freedom they had. Some nights went by much too fast, but when it was just the two of them, it seemed that time stood still.
And, even when they didn't go together, the clearing still retained a piece of them- the bond of friendship and maybe something a little bit sweeter- that would calm them on the nights when the nightmares and insomnia were at their worst.
And the fireflies danced their way through the night, a speck of light in a dark, hopeless world.
3. In My Head by Jason Derulo
In my head, I see you all over me…. In my head, you fulfill my fantasy… In my head, you'll be screaming oh... In my head, it's going down, it's going down...
He didn't like her. He knew he didn't. So why was he having these dreams about her?
He'd see her, she'd be there, and something would always happen between them that would wake him in the early hours of the morning, gasping for air and covered in sweat.
Unfortunately, everything came to a head the day that he didn't manage to wake himself early enough for breakfast. She'd snuck into his empty cabin, only to find him on his bed, whimpering her name into the silence as he would writhe and sweat.
Shocked, she shook him awake. He blinked groggily up at her, the sunlight filling his cabin, until he realized who had awoken him and what he had been dreaming about.
"Crap."
4. Angel of Mine by The Subdigitals
Little angel, beaming down your smile… little angel, could it be your sign? Little angel, you're my beauty queen… Can you break this code and get us out of here?
She thought that she was noting special, but she never did realize how wrong that was to him.
She looked at herself and saw an average girl- blonde hair, gray eyes. He looked at her and saw an angel- his angel. She was beautiful and smart and everything that he never knew he wanted.
She'd saved his butt more than he'd care to admit. She was his guardian angel, and he knew that, no matter how sappy that may sound, it was true.
(That one was beyond hard. DX )
5. Bed by J. Holiday
I wanna put my fingers in your hair, wrap me up in your legs, and love you 'till your eyes roll back; I wanna put you to bed, bed, bed…
(Will probably be perverted… or at least involve lots of kissing.)
"We're going to get into so much trouble…" Annabeth giggled into their kiss, her legs wrapped comfortably around Percy's hips.
"So worth it." Percy replied, his voice muffled by her lips against his. He pressed her into the soft sand of the beach, his hands running up her spine and twisting into her blonde strands.
Annabeth whimpered softly into the still night as Percy skimmed his lips across her throat, leaving kisses on random patches of skin as he went. She twined her fingers into the black mess of hair on top of his head, loving the feeling of his lips on her.
"I love you, Annabeth." He mumbled as he traced the line of her collarbone, enjoying the simple pleasure of making her feel good.
"I love you too, Percy."
6. Meet Me On The Equinox by Death Cab for Cutie
Meet me on the equinox, meet me halfway… When the sun is perched at its highest peak in the middle of the day…
They met at noon on the day of theequinox- as far opposite of the solstice as possible. Every equinox, they sat down and talked. That was it. It was a point where the night and the day were equal, so who couldn't they be? Everything said on that day was looked at completely objectively. No pulling or pushing, just Percy and Annabeth. Girl and boy, friends and more.
They knew, like you knew that something was coming, that their peace could only last so much longer- the prophesy would not be ignored.
But they sure as Hades would try.
Everything came to an end…
Didn't it?
They met at noon on the day of the equinox. That day they would just be them, in love and all. They knew that their peace was ending.
They'd take what they could get.
7. Gimme That Girl by Joe Nichols.
Gimme that girl with her hair in a mess, sleepy little smile with her head on my chest… That's the you that I like best, gimme that girl…
When they'd first started dating, Annabeth had put her everything into how she looked. She'd become a little more uptight, extremely careful about everything while she was around him.
And Percy hated it.
So one day, after waiting an hour for her, he just stormed into the Athena cabin, walked right up to Annabeth, and pulled every hair product and item of make-up out of her reach.
"Percy!" Annabeth complained, but he just covered her mouth.
"I fell in love with you for you, Annabeth, not for this crap," he told her, dumping it all back onto the counter unceremoniously. "Stop being someone that you're not; I miss my Annabeth."
And wouldn't you know it? She'd stopped.
And Percy loved her for it.
8. Down (Candlelight Remix) by Jay Sean
So baby don't worry, you are my only, you won't be lonely, even if the sky is falling down… You'll be my only, no need to worry, baby are you down, down, down, down, down….
Annabeth hated jealousy.
She knew, logically, that Percy was hers. She understood the idea. But it didn't help her, especially when some fame crazed blonde bimbo was hanging off of his arm, giggling like a hyena at nothing even remotely funny.
Annabeth had lost count of the number of times Percy had just sat with her, reassuring her.
"They mean nothing to me," he'd say to her reassuringly. "You're it for me, Wise Girl."
And she'd smile and kiss him, and all would be well.
Until the next one came along.
But Annabeth didn't really mind all that much. Percy was hers and she knew it.
9. We Love Like Vampires by Sparks the Rescue
I just wanna hear your sounds… We love like vampires… You'll be lost and never found… Dancing the underground.
"Noooo," Percy moaned as he finally found his girlfriend. "Please, for the love of Poseidon, tell me that you're NOT reading those gay sparkly vampire books…"
Annabeth glared at him over the top of a suspicious black book. "Edward and his family are not GAY, Perseus." Percy flinched- he'd obviously touched a sensitive spot.
"Sorry…" Percy mumbled, flopping down beside her. "Why are you reading that, anyway?" he asked as he yawned, resting his head on her thigh.
Annabeth blushed. "It sounded like a good book…"
"Ah." Percy replied. "You're a closet romantic, huh?" Annabeth smacked him with the soft cover book in her hands, but her telltale reddening blush gave her away.
"Don't be embarrassed," Percy murmured, his hand resting against her cheek. "I think it's adorable."
"You sound like Edward," Annabeth whispered.
Percy rolled his eyes. "Read your book."
10. Autumn by Sparks the Rescue (Styx, this hated me. First I got Clair de Lune, then I got Emo Kid, then I got Dragonesta din Tei, and THEN, to top the list of unusable songs off, I got Durch den Monsun. Work with me here! DX )
Think back, think back to the summertime… I would cross through these state lines… You were always on my mind…
When Percy would get to school, people would ask him how his summer was and what he'd done. Now, telling a mortal that you'd spent the summer fighting monsters with a bronze sword that looked like a pen usually didn't go over well, so he'd tell them about Annabeth… And everyone else, of course.
Annabeth hated the return to school, because of all the giggling girls talking of new tans and adorable bikinis and summer romances- especially when there was a boy that she wanted a romance with. Whenever she'd be asked, she'd tell them about Percy. The rest of the camp could wait.
Percy often got caught daydreaming in class, and once he'd even answered his teacher's question of what had him distracted with a completely honest "Annabeth." That had resulted in months of teasing as well as a night of detention.
By winter break, everybody knew of Annabeth's mysterious Percy. And Annabeth couldn't wait until summer.
When they'd see each other again.
