"Prince Percy. Hello!"

Percy was sitting at the table in a clearing when he heard his date.

He turned around and smirked. Like the gentleman he is, he bowed down and placed a kiss on the princess's hand. "Hello there, milady. I believe we've met before."

"Well yeah of course we've met, oh kind sir. But before you assume I'm interested in your scrawny self, mind you, I'm engaged."

Percy burst out laughing.

"Scrawny self !!? Come on Thals, be nice to me at least on our first date !!" he said with a loop sided grin.

At this, Thalia laughed too. "You know that day is never gonna come, Kelp Head."

Percy groaned but soon they were laughing. They chit chatted for a bit and ate all they could, when the Prince couldn't help but ask, "So, Thals. Gonna tell me why you put that gorgeous blue cookie in there?"

Thalia wiped her hands with a napkin and cleared her throat. "So you see Percy, Annie is..."

"SHE LETS YOU CALL HER THAT !!!!! HOW IS THAT FAIR !!! ANNABETH ALMOST KILLED ME FOR CALLING HER THAT THE OTHER DAY !!!"

Thalia chuckled. "Yeah yeah I have special privileges. Anyway, what are your intentions with Annabeth?"

Percy blushed, "Wha-what?"

"It's obvious you have feelings for Annie, so, what are your intentions?"

"No..no..I don't..we're just friends," Percy stuttered.

Thalia glared at him. "Do you really think lying is safe for you, Perseus?" she said as she cracked her knuckles.

"Okay okay! I mayyyy like her a little bit," he muttered.

Thalia leaned back and smirked, and waved her hand, indicating for him to continue.

"I don't have any intentions with her!! I promise. I just don't want to see her sad.....I want to be there to protect her...not protect her,she's strong enough to do that for herself. More like be there for her."

Thalia smiled, "Well you have my blessing then."

Percy turned red again, "What blessing !"

Ignoring him, Thalia continued, "But if you ever hurt her in anyway, I PROMISE YOU, YOUR DEATH WILL BE VERY PAINFUL. And trust me when I say this, I know how to make it look like an accident."

"Whoa calm down. I don't plan on hurting Annabeth ok. I'm a nice guy," he pouted and crossed his arms.

"Yes yes I know it's formality though," Thalia laughed. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find my fiance."

This said, she got up, straightened her shirt and walked away, leaving a very very confused Percy behind.

"Luke!" Annabeth laughed as she ran to give him a hug. "You're my date ?" she said, making a face as she pulled back.

"This isn't a date Annie. I'm engaged you know," Luke chuckled.

"Obviously. If you were cheating on Thals, she would've killed you, and I would have bring you back to life and then kill you again," said Annabeth, silently giving him a threat.

Luke laughed as he pulled out a chair for Annabeth to sit in, then he sat down himself.

"So...as to why you are on a date with me ?" Annabeth asked.

She loved Luke. She had a huge crush on him as a kid, but it eventually just turned into hero worship. She saw him as a brother, her chosen family, her best friend.

"We haven't spent much time together, so I thought why not?"

"No wonder Thalia told me to put the dagger you gave me! You guys cheated! Where is she now ?"

Luke smirked. "She's with your Percyyyy," he said, dragging out the last part.

"He's not my Percy!" Annabeth pouted.

Ignoring her, Luke continued, faking some tears, "My little Annabeth is all grown up ! She has a crush !"

"Lukeee," Annabeth blushed, covering her face in the palms of her hands. "I don't have a crush on him," she mumbled.

"Oh well.....I never did say that," Luke smirked, raising his eyebrows in her direction.

Annabeth turned red.

Luke chuckled, and began setting some food out for themselves. They both ate, laughing, talking and just catching up in general.

Once they were done with the meal, Luke checked his watch.

"Well Annie, it seems our time has come to an end," he said with a twinkle in his eye. "Love ya!" he said, getting up and giving her a quick peck on her forehead.

"But we still got a couple hours left," said a confused Annabeth. It had only been an hour, there were still 4 to go.

Luke didn't say anything, he just got up and began running. Annabeth scurried behind him, trying to catch up.

"I'm wearing a gown! This is unfair!!" she yelled out.

They ran for a few more minutes, until Annabeth spotted Thalia and Percy in the clearing up ahead.

Thalia was walking away from Percy, her back turned to them.

Luke ran faster, catching up with Thalia, who was sprinting too.

Thalia winked at Annabeth, and the two ran away.

"Wise girl?" Percy asked, looking as confused as ever.

"Seaweed Brain," she repeated, as they watched the laughing couple dash off towards castle.

They looked at each other for a minute and then burst out laughing.

"Hey Sunshine," Leo smirked.

"Didn't I tell you not to call me that already?" groaned Calypso.

"Well you did, but seems like I didn't listen."

"You're insufferable."

Leo didn't reply, but instead stuffed his face into the food. While he ate, he was tapping, he was really nervous. Gods he really hoped she didn't know Morse code.

"So how's Festus?" Calypso asked, when she was done eating. Fortunately, Leo hadn't broken the table this time.

"Been stalking me huh Princess?" he smirked in reply.

"Why would I stalk you of all people?! You told me about him on our last date," she clarified.

"Oh right."

"Hey Leo look ! There's people coming our way." Calypso got up and walked towards the approaching Travis, Katie, Conner and Rachel.

Leo rushed to Travis and gave him a fist bump. "Whatcha doin' here mate?"

"Oh did we interrupt something ? Very well then. You two lovebirds get back onto your tree, we'll be going," the smirk on Travis' face as he said this could rival Leo's.

Calypso blushed. "You weren't interrupting anything," she laughed.

"Well you might like to join our little group of troublemakers then," Connor said.

"You had me at 'troublemakers' dude !!" Leo jumped.

As the six of them dashed off, Calypso whispered to Katie, "Hey Katie can you do me a favour and tell Leo that I know Morse code?"

Katie giggled and complied.

Calypso laughed to herself as she saw Leo clear his throat and blush with what she thought was embarrassment.

You're beautiful.....I hope I don't mess things up with you , he'd said.

"Reyna!" Jason gasped as he realised who he
was on a date with.

"Prince Jason," she smiled, motioning for him to sit down. "Well this is interesting."

"Indeed."

Why must the fates be so cruel? , Jason thought to himself. Forcing him on a date with the lady who just broke off an engagement with him. He would much rather be dead right now than put Reyna through this.

[ONE MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR SPARKY PLEASE :( ]

As if she had heard him, Reyna raised her head from her meal and looked him dead in the eye, "Jason if this is weird for you, you do not need to stay. I hoped we would remain friends as we have grown up together, but if you dont feel the same, please say so."

"No...no...It's just that..."

"Its ironic that our first date is after we broke off our engagement?" she continued with a sad smile.

"Exactly."

"Jason listen," Reyna said suddenly. She reached over and placed her hand over his wrist and looked straight into his eyes, "Do not blame yourself, it was my choice as well. I'm glad this happened, so I don't need to live in the delusion my father created for me anymore."

"Thank you Reyna" Jason smiled.

Both of them continued with their meals, reminiscing and catching up.

They heard the bush rustle behind them and Reyna reacted immediately, holding up a butter knife and jumping out of her seat. They heard a familiar laugh echo. Thalia and Luke came out bursting from the bush.

"Hey Sparky!!" Thalia laughed as both Luke and her dashed off into the distance.

Reyna and Jason stared at each other for a second, and then burst out laughing.

"That was unexpected," Jason said, composing himself.

"I learnt not to expect our days here go smoothly," Reyna smirked.

"Atleast theres not going to be anymore chaos," Jason chuckled and sat down.

They heard the bush rustle behind them again and saw Percy and Annabeth leap over it, and then try to pull out Grover,who was stuck in it.

"Hey Jace, Reyna," Percy greeted as Annabeth and Grover crashed into him.

Annabeth had tugged grover out with one mighty pull, but that pull caused her to crash into Percy.

neither seemed sorry about it though, Jason smiled inwards at the thought.

He watched Annabeth blush and get off of Percy, offering him a hand up.

"Why are the both of you here?" Reyna asked

"Are dates abandoned us, and we wandered around until we found each other and Grover found us" Percy stated.

Jason turned to Reyna, "this day could not get weirder" he chuckled.
Before Reyna could reply, they heard chatter and turned around to find a group of royals standing there.

"Hey sparky! What's up?" Leo yelled out.

"There you are! We sent you out to find Percy and Annabeth centuries ago!" Rachel yelled out to Grover.

"Not my fault ! This place is hugeee !!it's easy to get lost " Grover protested.

Jason turned to Reyna, she had his exact expression on her face. Confusion mixed with entertainment.
There's never a dull moment here huh? He thought to himself.
