I hope you like it! I really do. Please review and tell me what you think!

We walked out of the lake, hand in hand. I wasn't sure whether to smile or not, so I just smiled. The best underwater kiss to end the worst war. It was amazing, to say the least. Nobody was there. The kiss had taken a long time, but for our ADHD it would have taken longer than it really did. I didn't expect them to be waiting up for us. It looked around midnight. They wouldn't have waited that long for us, even if they had been waiting for it for years.

In truth, I had been waiting for years, too. I knew that I liked Percy since he showed up at camp. At first, I hated him, but after our quest things just clicked. I realized who Luke was and discovered my true feelings for Percy.

I could never tell him that I liked him. What if he didn't like me back? That could ruin our whole friendship! I only kissed him on our quest in the labyrinth because I thought he was going to die. I had to kiss him at least once before he died. When I found out that he was alive, I was so happy, yet so mad. Why did it take him so long to come back to me? At that point, I thought for sure that he didn't like me. Once the war started, and I took that knife for him, he seemed nicer. I'm guessing that's when he realized that he liked me. It only took me nearly dying for him to figure it out.

When he kissed me, I felt amazing. The kiss was amazing! Everyone had carried us to the lake. Percy thought it would be funny if we went underwater. Little did I know that he just wanted to kiss me more. I wanted to kiss him more, too. And we did.

As I was saying, I didn't know what to do when we emerged from the water. I looked at Percy. He was just as puzzled as I was. I hugged him once more and left to go to bed. Our fingers tried to stay together as we separated. I caught one last glimpse of his amazing smile as I sauntered off to my cabin.

As soon as I walked in, I noticed Malcom sitting on my bed.

"Malcom, what are you doing on my bed? I thought you would be asleep." I whispered as I sat on my bed next to him.

"I had to make sure that my baby sister came home safely," Malcom teased.

"Malcom, I'm not your real baby sister. How many times do I have to tell you that?" I asked.

I liked Malcom. He was my favorite half-brother. I liked him being protective of me, but I had to tease him about it. I wouldn't be a sister if I didn't.

"You are my sister, though. Now, Percy…?" Malcom suggested.

"Percy is amazing! That kiss was amazing!" I shouted a little too loudly.

"Should I rough him up? Should I give him the you-better-not-do-anything-to-her-or-I'll-kill-you talk?"

I laughed, "No, you don't have to do that. I'm okay. And I think Percy can kill you faster than you can kill him."

"That's probably true." Malcom laughed back, "I can still talk to him, though."

"It's not like we're dating. We just made out, underwater. We aren't dating, right? You've had a girlfriend before. You know more about this than I do."

"That's all up to you two. I can't tell you if you're dating or not. You two have to decide for yourselves!"

"Should I ask him?"

Malcom rubbed my shoulder, "You'll figure it out in time. I asked out Arianna, and she said yes. Maybe Percy will do the same thing for you."

"You sound like my dad when he's giving me one of his 'in my days" talks."

"Maybe because your dad asked me to. He did that a while ago. I'm supposed to do stuff like this. Plus, I'm your older brother."

"Thanks Malcom, but I think I would like it better if you weren't acting like my dad and started to act like my big brother."

He hugged me, "Okay. As your big brother, I am obligated to tell you that if he hurts you then he's dead."

As he started to walk to his bed, I called out, "He'll still kill you first."

I went to sleep thinking about the kiss. I imagined seeing the air bubble formed around us and the fish watching us. It was super romantic. The way Percy's hands gripped my hips was mesmerizing. My hands wrapped around his neck. He looked into my eyes, my gray eyes.

Quickly, I woke up and looked outside. There was little light. When I glanced at my clock, it said 6:30. I went to get ready for the upcoming day. I wanted to see Percy. I needed to talk to him about last night. I got into my signature Camp Half-blood tee and some jean shorts. You know, what I always wear. It was my all time favorite outfit.

I strolled outside just as my siblings were waking up. I raced over to Percy's cabin so nobody could see me. We weren't supposed to be in other people's cabins before breakfast or after dinner. Most campers did it anyways, but I didn't want to get in trouble. I had to seriously run.

When I got to his cabin, I saw one light on. That was all. I couldn't hear anything from inside, but I knew he was there. The only other place that he would be was in the water, but he wasn't there. Percy never left his light on when he went swimming. I slowly knocked on his door. I didn't expect him to answer so fast, but as soon as the first knock, the door swung all the way open.

"Hey, I think we need to talk about last night," I suggested as I walked into his cabin and sit on his bed. He closed the door and stood across the room next to his dresser.

"Yeah, so do I. Annabeth, do you wanna go out with me?" Percy stuttered.

"Like on a date?" I asked. I could tell that he was wondering what I was thinking.

Percy looked down, suddenly nervous, "I mean, if you want it to be. You don't have to say yes."

"Percy, I've been waiting for you to ask me since I was twelve."

He came over to me, "Really?"

I stood up, "Gods, kiss me, seaweed brain!"

Right as I started the sentence, Percy understood what I was saying. He put his hands on my face and leaned down to kiss me. We backed up to the wall, my right hand on his chest, my other hand grabbing his hair. His hands rubbed up and down my sides. I could smell the light scent of saltwater in his hair. It was like he bathed in it.

He pulled away, "So, that's a yes?"

"Of course it's a yes! Why would I say no?" I asked.

"I don't know. I just thought that you would say no."

"Seaweed brain, I will go out with you. One thing, Malcom may do that whole dad talk thing."

"Well, it's worth it. I get to go out with an amazing, sweet, hot, and beautiful-"

I cut him off, "Oh, shut up and kiss me!"

We made out for a while. By eight, we knew that we needed to go get breakfast. Everyone would be wondering where we would be if we were late, especially if we were together. We sauntered over to the mess hall, hand in hand. His hand squeezed mine as more people passed us. I smiled. Malcom noticed us watching over to the table. I waved goodbye to Percy and strolled over to my siblings.

I had to sit with my siblings, so did Percy. I mean, Percy sat alone in the back. We made constant eye contact the whole time. Malcom starred at me like I was a lunatic.

"I'm guessing he asked you out," Malcom murmured.

"He did. Now, when you give him the father talk thing, don't scare him too much, please. He's already afraid of you from that one night a few years ago when you almost sent him into the lava pit." I begged.

"I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to terrify him. Arianna's dad did it to me," Malcom told me.

"Yeah, Annie, he's supposed to do that!" My new little sister, Elena, explained.

"Okay, Malcom, but Arianna is fully mortal. Mom has already talked to Percy about this. Of course, it was a few years back, but still. I think she talked to him recently, too." I sighed.

Malcom laughed, "I'm sure Mom did, but since your dad can't be here to tell you it himself, he left the job to me. I promised him that I would do it."

"Okay, just, please, go easy on him!" I pleaded.

Malcom didn't say anything after that. He laughed, but didn't reply. None of my siblings did. All of them tried to ignore me. It was obvious that Mom didn't like Percy. Most of my siblings didn't even like him. I wanted them to, but it wasn't going to happen. Malcom and Elena kind of liked him, but only because I did.

Once breakfast ended, I went to go find Percy. He had already left to go talk to Chiron. I waited for him outside The Big House. I sat on the porch steps and waited. It took him five minutes to come out, but it seemed like longer than that. I sat up and brushed off my pants. Chiron didn't come out with Percy. Instead, it was just Percy with his hands in his pockets.

"What were you talking to Chiron about?" I asked.

"I was just asking him about some favors that he owes us." Percy explained as we started to walk to the canoe lake.

"What favors? I mean, I know that he owes us a lot, but what did you ask him for? And shouldn't we be going to the armory or the arena?" I asked all at once.

Percy just smiled, "We're not going to the armory because we have the week off."

I stopped him by putting my arm on Percy's shoulder, "Hold up. What do you mean we have the week off?"

"That's exactly what I mean, wise girl. We have the week off to do whatever we want, go wherever we want. Chiron owes us and I asked him if we could just relax."

"He agreed?" I asked in amazement.

"We did just save the world. Why wouldn't he have agreed?" Percy asked in answer as we started to walk again.

"I just thought that he would want us to train the new campers or something."

"Annabeth, he gave us the week off! Do you not get that? We can do whatever we want!"

"We could just hang out, right? I mean, be a normal couple and stuff."

"That's exactly what I mean!"

"Then let's do it! We deserve a break. For the past four years we have been working our butts off trying to save the world. Now we can relax!" I shouted as we finally reached the canoe lake.

"Exactly! Now, do you wanna come in or what?" Percy asked as he got into a canoe.

I stepped in, "I guess."

We had fun just trying to canoe around the lake. We talked and laughed. Some campers would go canoeing, but Percy would make sure their canoes never came near us. It was funny to see them try so hard. I knew that they wouldn't be able to get to us. It was obvious. The naiads were getting really annoyed with us. Well, mainly with Percy. I was just there to laugh.

After canoeing all day, we ate and skipped the campfire. Neither of us wanted to sing tonight. We still wanted to be alone. I decided that the beach would be a good place to go.

"Percy, why didn't you ask me out earlier?" I asked as our feet sank deep into the sand each time a wave passed by.

"I didn't know if you liked me back. I was worried that you would reject me and it would ruin our friendship." Percy explained.

"Neither did I."

"And I want you to come to the city with me tomorrow. My mom and Paul want to talk to me about something and I want you to come with. I mean, my mom's been begging me to ask you out for years."

"She's been begging you?" I giggled a little bit.

"Anyways, I want you to come with. I've never really liked family dinners, and I thought this one would be really boring. You don't have to come, but I want you to. We could go out to a movie afterwards."

"Seaweed brain, I would love to go to dinner with your family!"

"Good because they absolutely love you!"

I hugged him, "Thank you."
