Sorry that it's taken me forever to update. Let's all thank @ExtremeFangirlForeva for the idea and @jilltyna for the update..........
SETTING: Between PJO and HOO, they're not together
A1- The Hoover Dam
A2- Naturally I filled it in with the Campfire Song Song by Spongebob
Annabeth's P.O.V.
I fanned myself with the paper crossword puzzle before continuing to solve it. The sun beat down on me as I sat on the beach during one of the hottest days of the year. Even at Camp Half Blood, with it's magical weather control borders, it was still unbearably hot out.
Unfortunately none of the cabins had air conditioning, so all of the camper were either sitting around in the shade or were at the beach. I would have been in the shade, but I knew Percy would be here and I wanted to hang out with him.
Percy, however, was not here and I've been sitting on this beach towel completing crossword puzzles for who knows how long, alone. 11 across- having no defects or faults, especially none that diminish the value of something, I rolled my eyes, flawless, duh, I thought.
Just as I was about to write it down someone behind me yelled, "Hey Wisegirl!" I turned around to see Percy finally coming down to the beach. "Hi Seaweed Brain, did you sleep in?" I asked. "Possibly," he replied. I raised an eyebrow. "Fine, you caught me," he said sitting down next to me.
"Whatcha doing?" Percy asked looking over my shoulder. I held out the puzzle for him to see, "Crossword puzzle." He nodded, "Are you stuck on any of them?"
I looked at him, "This is me we're talking about."
"True," Percy responded. There was a moment of silence in which I realized how close we were. We looked into each other's eyes, neither of us daring to talk and destroy the moment. We were so close all I had to was lean in and-
"TRAVIS PUT ME DOWN!" Katie yelled, causing both Percy and me to turn to look towards the water. Travis was carrying Katie over his shoulder and running to the dock, where he threw her in.
When we turned back we had somehow drifted apart. I tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear, while Percy scratched the back of his neck.
"Well, I guess I'll just go in the water then," he said getting up. I didn't want him to go. Desperate for an excuse for him to stay I blurted out, "Wait! I actually do need help with 11 across."
"Let me see," he said holding out his hand for the puzzle. I put it in his hand, curious as to what he would say the answer was. "8 letters, having no....defects or faults, especially none that.....diminish the value of something," he mumbled slowly, clearly struggling to read with his dyslexia.
He though for a minute, counted his fingers, wrote something down, and gave it back before running into the water. I looked at 11 across, but instead of seeing 'flawless' I saw 'Annabeth'.
My eyes widened, I caught my breathe, and I felt a blush crawl up my cheeks. A million butterflies flew around in my stomach, and I felt light-headed for a minute. I pinched myself and blinked a few times to make sure I was awake, then I looked to see if I had misread it.
It still said 'Annabeth'. I looked at Percy, who was coming out of the water. He allowed himself to remain wet as he exited the ocean, probably to cool off a little. He gave me a small smile as he hurried past me.
Finally recovering my wits, I got up, with the crossword, and chased after him. I jumped in front of him, stopping him in his tracks. I held the crossword to his face, "Care to explain?"
He smiled sheepishly, "I just guessed."
I shook my head and began to walk away, but Percy stopped me by gently grabbing my wrist and saying, "Wait."
I smiled quickly, before wiping the grin off my face and turning around. "Yeah?" I inquired innocently. "Umm.... Do you..... I was just..... Umm..... Would you...... ummmmmm..... ice cream?" He stuttered.
"I'd love to, but ummmm...... you should probably put a shirt on," I recommended. His cheeks grew red, and I could feel mine get slightly pink when I looked. "Right, I'll be right back. Don't move," he said before running to his cabin.
Less than a minute later he came out, completely dry and with a shirt. "Let's go," he said. We walked side by side, so I figured why not?, and grabbed his hand. He stopped almost immediately to face me. I turned as well, letting go of his hand. "What?" I asked.
Before I could do anything, his lips were pressed against mine. It was a quick kiss, so I wasn't able to kiss back. "Nothing," he said, "You're just flawless." I grinned, before pulling him into another kiss.
Yay it sucked! Anyway I just wanted to quickly thank everyone who votes, comments, and follows, you're the reason I've been able to write 50 chapters! THANKS all of you demigods are amazhang.........
Q1- What's Mr. D's favorite soda?
Q2- You know how the mist affects demigods most of the time, when they don't know they are demigods. Well do you ever wonder how much all of us have missed because of the mist? (That was a "thought-provoking question", my English teacher would be proud)
