WHILE TRAINING AMARA'S Bracelet went off. She put her sword down, walking to the lake. She opened the bracelet.

"What's wrong?" Amara questioned, pacing back and forth.

Annabeth cleared her throat, trying to form the words for Amara. Amara sighed, leaning against the tree.

"We, uh, encountered Medusa..." Annabeth trailed off, stuttering.

Amara stood up, straight "You alright?"

Annabeth sighed, deeply "Yes, Percy defeated her, but..."

But? What's going on? Amara was getting a tad bit worried.

"But?" Amara raised a brow, waiting for Annabeth to continue.

Annabeth sighed, biting her lip "We sent Medusa's head to...Olympus."

Amara's eyes widened in shock, looking down ay her bracelet "What?!"

Annabeth panicked, not wanting Amara to be upset with her "Ames, I..."

"Anna, do you realize what you've done?!" Amara exclaimed, pacing back and forth.

"I told you, Amara would be upset." Amara heard Annabeth say.

"Amara, we're really sorry." Grover apologized, sighing sadly.

Amara shook her head, gritting her teeth "This is impertinent, Anna, Grover, Percy."

"W-we know." The trio replied, sadly.

Amara sighed, leaning against the tree "I'll call you later."

Annabeth frowned, nodding "Bye, Amara."

Amara closed her bracelet, turning around to see Luke. Luke crossed his arms, stepping closer to her. Amara walked over to Luke, cupping his face.

"I heard yelling, you alright?" Luke moved her hands off his face, lacing their fingers together.

Amara nodded, rubbing her nose against his "I'm fine, babe."

Luke leaned down, planting a kiss on her cheek "Swear?"

Amara blushed when Luke's lips made contact with her cheek "I swear."

Luke smiled, walking hand in hand with Amara to the dining pavilion. When they got there they were met with Jewel Evans, daughter of Hestia.

"Hey, can I borrow Ames really quick?" Jewel gripped Amara's wrist, dragging her away.

Amara chuckled, waving bye to Luke. Luke waved back to her, shaking his head. When Jewel and Amara got to the docks, Jewel turned to face her.

"What's up?" Amara raised a brow, tilting her head in question.

Jewel bit her lip, looking away "You know Chris Rodriguez?"

Amara nodded, chuckling "Yeah, I know my boyfriend's brother..."

Jewel cleared her throat, grasping Amara's wrists "Can you possibly put in a good word for me with Chris?"

Amara nodded, hugging Jewel "Yeah, of course."

Jewel squealed, hugging back "Thank you!"

The two girls pulled away, walking to the table. Luke wrapped an arm around Amara, kissing her cheek. Amara giggled, leaning into him. Jewel fake gagged, giggling. Chris joined them, sitting next to Jewel.

"Hey, C." Amara smiled, looking over to Chris.

Chris smiled in return, nodding "Ames."

Luke rubbed Amara's back, smiling at them "So, any plans for tomorrow?"

Amara sipped her water, looking at Luke "I have to train some Artemis kids with Jewel."

Chris chuckled, looking at Jewel "That right?"

Luke and Amara shared looks before standing up with their trays. They walked off leaving Jewel and Chris to talk.

LATER THAT NIGHT Amara was cuddled up with Luke on her bunk in the Demeter Cabin. She had the top bunk. Luke kissed all over her face, chuckling.

"What did you and Jewel talk about earlier?" Luke stroked her hair, looking down at her.

Amara cleared her throat, looking up at him "Nothing..."

Luke kissed her cheek, stroking her hair  "Ames.."

Amara sighed, looking up at him. She had to tell him. What was he gonna think? Luke stroked her cheek, rubbing his nose against hers.

"Jewel likes Chris." Amara bit her lip, looking up at him.

Luke buried his face in her chest, groaning "Oh, come on, princess..."

Amara twirled his curls between her fingers. Luke sighed, looking up at her.

"You're lucky I love you." Luke blurted out with a blush.

Amara blushed in response "I love you, too.."

The pair got comfortable then fell asleep.
