Hiiiiiiiiiiiii! Next chapter. Whoo! I didn't die! I think. You're reading this, right?


"Percyyyyyyy..." The blond girl whined. He kissed her on the cheek and gave her a peck on the jaw.

"Whaaaaaaat..." Said the green eyed boy next to her.

My name is Leslie DeMarco. My mom is named Elinor DeMarco and my father's name is Hermes. Yep, I'm a friggin' demigod. I can barely read and I can't sit still. Yay! (That was totally sarcasm.)

Anyways, I was still watching the dynamic duo sitting at the other table. Dinner had been over for a good twenty minutes so I don't know what they're still doing here. Oh wait. What am I still doing here? Oh right, I'm staring. Duh.

Why? You might ask. Simple. Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are PERFECT.

From what I've heard from other campers, they are literally the most perfect relationship ever. They are both beautiful, both capable, and both powerful. They have so much chemistry, they might as well be one person in a beaker.

How was that for descriptive writing? Ha! That's all I want to do in life. Writing. Romance. Perfection. I pull out my pocket notebook to jot down my thoughts. Percy and Annabeth are going to make me famous. I just know it.

"Seaweed Brain, why are we still here? What do you want?" Said Annabeth.

"I don't know. Just, to be around you more? You always have to go sit with the rest of the Athena Cabin during the camp-fire, then you go back to your cabin and I don't get to see you."

Annabeth sighed wistfully.

"You're right."

"Come again?"

"Oh shut up." She hit his shoulder lightly.

"But Annnnnnnnnnnabeth... you're always so mean to meeeee!"

"Am not. I simply speak truths."

Percy rolled his eyes.

"Yeah... okay... 'cause telling Malcolm and Chiron that you were going to do some 'late night training' tonight was totally the truth. You totally do that alllllllllllllllllll the time!"

Annabeth blushed, leaned in like she was going to kiss, and... punched him in the gut.

"Oof!"

Awwwwwwwww... I thought. Why can't I have someone to punch in the gut like that... hmm...maybe that didn't come out right.

I sighed and wrote some more in my journal.

"What do you want to do tomorrow?" Annabeth asked.

"I dunno. What do you wanna do?" Replied Percy, with his chin on her shoulder. She smiled and kissed his forehead. I scribbled some more. Soooooooo cute!

"No idea. We could hide-out in the woods for a while, maybe go down to the lake and..." She smirked and leaned in closer.

"Make out."

Percy choked. And so did I, my pencil tip snapped off. Annabeth and Percy both looked up. Then I realized... they hadn't seen me. I guess that isn't so surprising, with me being 4'11 and invisibly pale and all, but I would have thought they would have seen me by now.

"Oh. We didn't see you there." Said Annabeth. Yep. I kinda knew that.

I coughed. "Oh. It's fine. You're fine. It's not a problem. I was just writing... so... yeah. It's okay." I was rambling. I know I was. I know I probably sounded like an idiot. But, I also know that I really don't care. They are the most amazing couple I have ever seen.

"Oh. Okay. You're Leslie, right? Connor was telling me about you." Said Percy.

"Yep. That's me!"

"Cool. Welcome to camp." They went back to ignoring me. I pulled out my mini-sharpener and sharpened my pencil to a point.


Two Hours Later... (Annabeth's POV)

Finally. Leslie left. That took forever!

"Well she sure must like writing." Percy inquired. "She only look up from that notebook twice."

"It's nice that she's pursuing her passion. Not a lot of people do anymore." I leaned back against him.

"Yeah. I just wish she'd done it somewhere else."

Annabeth laughed. "Me too." I tilted my head up to look at him. "I missed you."

"I missed you too. So much." He kissed the top of my head. "What are we gonna do for the next three weeks?"

"Well... celebrate Christmas, then New Year's, hopefully kiss when the ball drops. You know, normal girlfriend-boyfriend stuff."

"What do you mean by 'celebrate Christmas'?" Although I couldn't see him, I could practically hear the air-quotes in his voice. It made me smile a little.

"You'd better have presents for me, Seaweed Brain. Or I swear-"

He was trying really hard not to laugh. He was failing. I groaned with annoyance.

"I didn't think you were the "present wanting" kind of girl, Beth."

"One, don't ever call me that again. Two, shut up."

He laughs again. "Fine." He wraps his arms around me and burrows his face in my neck. We sat there in silence for a while when he finally said something.

"I do have a gift for you, though. I hope you like it. I think you will." He sounded back to his bashful, dorky, -awkward- self.

"I bet I will, Percy." I looked back and pecked him on the lips. We smiled at each other for what could have been twenty seconds or forever for all the crap I gave.

"Sooooo..." I started. "Got any homework for the break?"

Percy groaned and dropped his head down on the table. Question answered. Oh how I love this dork.


The Next Morning... (Leslie)

Percy Jackson was apparently missing.
