'Kay, so in this story, it's kinda like an AU. Silena and Beckendorf are still alive, there are no Romans in this story. The Lost Hero and Son of Neptune never happened and Percy and Annabeth are together. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I wish I owned Percy Jackson (don't we all?) and I wish I could draw, but I can't. Pictures will be posted and they belong to burdge-bug (link on profile) and characters belong to Mr. Rick Riordan.

It was a normal day at camp, people sparring, falling off the lava wall, and me missing the bull's eye for the gods know how many times. Right now, I was sitting alone jabbing at my half gone lasagna. I didn't feel like eating it and already gave most of it as an offering for the gods.

Dinner was almost over and a certain daughter of Athena came to join my misery.

"Perce." she greeted.

"What's up, Wise Girl?"

Annabeth told me to move over as she sat down next to me. "Long day?" As she eyed my food suspiciously.

"Same old, same old. I'm just not hungry." She sighed and put her head on my shoulder.

"Is something bothering you?" I questioned.

She looked mystified. "Nope, not at all, just thinking."

"When are you not thinking?" I playfully tapped her head. "I mean, I can see all the gears in that genius mind of yours."

She swatted my hand away and looked me in the eyes. "Do you want to go to the beach during campfire?"

"Sure." I said as I stuffed some lasagna in my mouth. We sat there in a comfortable silence as she leaned against me.

Suddenly a random Aphrodite camper squealed, "Awwww, a Percabeth moment!" And snapped a picture of us.

Annabeth and I walked hand in hand through the sand."Is there something you wanted to talk about Wise Girl?" I asked.

"You're cute when you're worried." She pointed out. I gave her a concerned look. "And you also worry too much, Seaweed Brain."

I decided to stop pestering her. We sat down with her between my legs and then there was a shuffling sound. Probably one the those Aphrodite kids spying again, I sighed.

I intertwined both my hands with Annabeth's and wrapped them around her.

"There's never any privacy here is there?" she commented. I chuckled as I put my chin on her shoulder, kissing her neck.

"I know where there is some privacy." Her eyebrow shot up questioning me. I got up and dragged her towards the shore, keeping us both dry.

Underwater, I created an air bubble."Good times, right?" I smiled cheekily. Annabeth nodded and wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me closer.

I closed the space between us by grabbing her waist and captured my lips in hers.

"Lady Aphrodite wants to do WHAT?!" Annabeth yelled. We were currently in the middle of a counselors' meeting and the gods had requested that Camp Half Blood should start a magazine about everyday life. (we all guessed it was mostly Aphrodite's idea.)

"Each of you will be in charge of a section," Chiron explained. "Some of you may have to double up though."

Annabeth's hand shot up immediately. "I would like to do exercise/training!"

"No way, Princess." Clarisse growled. "I'm SO doing it!"

"Wait," all the guys said. "What are we supposed to do?"

"Can we do a 'how to pull pranks' section?" Connor and Travis piped up. Chatter filled the room.

"Settle down now, children. Annabeth, how about you do interior and exterior design? You can design as many buildings and rooms as you wish. And no Connor and Travis, you will not do anything in pranks. You two will be in charge of reviews and fan mail." Chiron said. Annabeth looked slightly pleased, but still pissed off. She slouched down in her chair.

"Katie, you will obviously do gardening. Will, you may do music. Silena, you may ask one of your siblings to help you with beauty and love."

"But Chiron!" Silena protested. "We have to do a gossip column, that's the whole point of a magazine!"

"Very well my dear, you and one of your siblings may do beauty and gossip." He turned towards Beckendorf, Clarisse and I. "Do you have any idea what to do?" he asked. We all shook our heads. Chiron sighed. "Clarisse and Percy, you will work together on training and exercise."

"WHAT?!" Clarisse yelled. "I'm not working with Prissy here, never!"

"Unless you want to do love, my dear, I suggest you work with him." And that shut her up.

"Chiron, may I do a 'how to' column?" I suggested.

"Yes, I suppose that would work out." he said.

I held Annabeth's hand from underneath the ping pong table, she rubbed her thumb over my knuckles and smiled at me.

Meanwhile, Silena was rubbing her chin like she had a million dollar idea. "Chiron, Charlie can do the love column! What's better than a guy telling what he likes or dislikes girls to do for advice?" Beck's eyes got large and he frantically shook his head. "Come on Charlie, I can even help you, you could have quizs and it would be easy! You have lots of experience! Please!" Silena gave him a puppy dog face and he finally gave in.

"Then everything is settled! The first issue is due the next month!" Chiron announced.

I clapped Beck on he back. "Good luck man." He chuckled nervously and walked away with his skipping girlfriend.

I turned to face Annabeth, still mildly grumpy of the events that just took place. "What ideas do you have Seaweed Brain?"

"Huh?" I said stupidly.

"For your column?"

"Oh, um, no ideas yet. Just thought it'd be better than a fifty percent chance of Clarisse pulverizing me."

She laughed and walked with me to my cabin.

"Curse Aphrodite!" Annabeth said. Lightning struck in the distance.

"Come on Wise Girl, at least you get to show them your plans." I said. We both sat on my bed and I put a hand around her waist, pulling her closer. I then laid down with her head on my chest and played with one of her curls.

"She probably just wants a way to keep track of all the couples here, that's why those bimbos keep taking pictures of us." she said.

"Cheer up, let's go swimming."

Whatcha think? Please review and tell me if I should continue my other story "Bead Necklace" it was meant to be a oneshot, but if it gets good reviews I might continue. Update coming soon! (I sound like a movie. XD)
