Percy's POV

It was around 7pm when I started to feel queasy. I was simply lying on my bed, enjoying what little rays of sunlight that was left, struggling to exist. I had decided to come to camp a day early, skipping the last day of school, no problem there. My mom seemed totally okay with it, but she gave me some sly looks, causing me to blush unintentionally. Moms can have that affect, making you feel like they know your whole life, inside and out, up and down, left to right, all your thoughts, even if you haven't seen them before. It kind of freaks me out sometimes, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it feels safe and comforting to know your mom has your back, no matter what, like that time I blew up St Mount Helens, or the St Louis Arch, or that school, or— wait a second; how did I get here? Never mind.

                Anyways, now that I'm back on track, I basically had a great day, with all of the year-rounders, new and old. I'm not supposed to really say things like this, but my favorite camper, excluding any of the seven, Nico, Reyna, or Thalia(who, now once I think about it, isn't really a camper), is Leo's little brother Harley. He's not the youngest camper here anymore, but I still favor him all the same.

I had planned to take Annabeth out for dinner, but she had chosen to go check out Magnus's new safe place in Boston. So instead, I wrote her a note.

Dear Annabeth,

                Roses are red

                Violets are blue

                Even Aphrodite

                Isn't as pretty as you

                                                -Seaweedbrain

                I know, cheesy right? I had first made it up during one of my calculus classes, which I later figured out that the teacher was an empousa. Good thing I never learned her name... I dropped off the note in her cabin, hidden with just the corner sticking out of her sheets. She'll notice that for sure. I hope no one else does, that would be embarrassing. But on that happy note, Annabeth Iris-messaged me, telling me that she'll be here tonight, a little after curfew. And I swear, I tried to stay awake for her, but 5 minutes after I got in bed, I silently went to sleep.

Annabeth's POV

                By the time I got back to camp, it was pretty late already, so I just headed to my cabin to get some shut eye. After I changed, I noticed a corner of paper sticking out of my sheets. I pulled it out and read it under my breath.

                "' Dear Annabeth, roses are red, Violets are blue, Even Aphrodite, Isn't as pretty as you. Seaweedbrain' oh Perce, your so corny." One off my siblings stirred. Had they heard?? Most likely not. But then a startling thought came to my mind. If anything, the gods heard. And if they did, that means APHRODITE did. Oh gods....

Aphrodite's POV

                As soon as I heard it, I was furious. How DARE he?! "Oh no young man, this one won't slide. Your luck has run dry." I muttered.

Hey guys! So i've decided that if my other stories are closed, excluding Aquilo, I might as well bring up a new one to play. -Zee
