"Willlllll!" I called from the kitchen where I was currently covered head-to-toe in flour on my black clothes. I heard clammoring from down the hall followed by his footsteps throughout our creaky old cabin. Will had moved in with me just 2 months ago to my cabin in the woods outside of camp. Though he wasn't the biggest fan of living next to the grave-yard in a hundred year old haunted cabin with the interior of a black hole, but it grew on him.

"Sun baby?" he asked in a mocking tone from behind me. I felt his hands press against my hips, a smile cracked through my normally expressionless face. He had always called me "Sun baby" ever since I brought an umbrella in the middle of winter to go sit by the beach. Other pet-names included, Goth Boy, Skully, Slenderman, and of course Ghost King.

"Don't call me that" I whispered as I turned to face him. Will, who's hands have yet to leave my sides , looked me up and down before bursting into a fit of laughter. "It's not funny!" I pouted, annoyed because these were my favorite pair of black skinny jeans.

Will just laughed that perfect laugh of his. "Oh you poor baby, I guess we'll just have to take them off" he murmured in my ear in a playful tone. I felt his hands slip down past my hips and tug on my belt loop. I pulled away, as much as I wanted a piece of William right now, we had to bake this cake and get to Percy and Annabeth's house.

"Will, not now" I said softly, putting my hand on his hard chest. Will just smirked at me, leaning closer. "Come on, just five minutes" he whispered in my hear, I felt his breath down my spine and I knew I couldn't resist.

"I guess five minutes couldn't hurt..." I trailed off with a small smile. Will grinned mischieveously at me and winked before pulling me by my belt loops. He tugged me down the halls to our bedroom, laughing the whole way. I just smiled as I watched his blonde hair bounce and his blue eyes sparkle with joy. I knew he was where the happiness was, I just didn't know where to find it before.

Once in the bedroom, he pulled us both onto the bed, landing into the pile of blankets and pillows in a fit of laughter. Will tackled me, pulling the blankets over us. Once seated, we both went into our nightstands, grabbing the one thing we both treasured the most.

Our DS's.

In the blistering heat of the summer or the frigid cold of the winters or whenever the weather sucked in general, we went inside for an epic game of Mario Kart. Now, as much as I love Will. And I swear, I love that boy more than life itself (I would know), when it came to Mario Kart, I would send a red turtle shell his way if it came down to it.

I held up my DS, allowing them to sinc up before the game began. Will's personal favorite character was Daisy whom he played as practially every time. Once, I decided to annoy him so I chose to be Daisy before Will could claim him. Needless to say, Will didn't talk to me for a week.

I on the other hand, was a major fan of the classic Bowser or frankly the man Mario himself. Today, I chose Bowser. Our map was soon selected and it was at that moment, I knew I was quite possibly going to ruin the best relationship of my life over a video game. Quite frankly, it would be worth it. I was an animal, once in the zone, nothing could stop me. I was a machine.

Will chuckled to himself. "Oh it is on like Donky Kong" he snickered. I just looked at him, pausing the game. Will looked up, confused. "If you're going to do that, it's over William" I said, my tone was dead serious. Will rolled his eyes, "I just don't see what you have against puns. They are very punny" he said sounding a little too proud of himself. I sent a glare his way and he shut up.

Once I was sure he would stop the puns, I pressed play. The countdown began and I could practically feel Will resisting the urge to say "Daisy me rollin', they haten'". Seconds later, the music began and we were off. I took first place in a matter of seconds with Boo, Luigi and Will trailing close behind. Will knocked a green turtle up, hitting Boo. "Boo-ya!" he cried, jumping up and down with glee but then cupping his mouth, realizing he had once again dropped a horrible Mario Kart pun.

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that" I said not even bothering to look up from my screen. Quickly, the lap was over, just 2 more to go. This particular map was easy. It was Bowser's Castle, a personal favorite.

I, of course, had the upper hand due to my years on the road alone with only my Mytho-Magic cards and handheld video games to pass the time. That is, until I became a gothic punk rocker emo kid, but Will changed that. He brought back what was lost, my personality when I was happy and I felt alive again. Sure I still dressed in all black, talked to the dead, and was EXTREMELY antisocial, but Will made everything easier.

Soon, Will and I had surpassed the computers by a great margin so they weren't a problem anymore. It was just Bowser and Daisy.

Will who had taken second place sent a banana but missed. I held back a smile as I swerved around a fake mystery box. Will on the other hand was not quite as fortunate. He ran right into that sucker.

Will pouted, being set back a good bit while I finished lap 2. I was on the final lap, I had gone easy on Will so far but now there was nothing in my way. He caught back up as quickly as one could but I had 3 turtle shells around me. I was invincible.

Then, just as I saw the glorious black and white checkers in the distance, a flash of blue an white came into view. The man I loved had struck me down with a blue turtle shell bomb. It was over and I had lost.

"Yes!" Will cried as he pumped his fist in the air. He jumped up so he was standing on the bed upright. "Suck that de Anglo!" He yelled pointing at me, gloating.

I set my DS down, sliding it into my side table drawer. I looked up at Will who was bouncing around and cheering with joy. I laughed as I watched him, his smile only made mine grow.

"Okay, now you've had your fun. We need to bake that cake" I said, touching his arm, his warm skin instantly numbing my body all over. Will calmed down then jumped off the bed, following me into the kitchen. 

We baked the cake but not before completely covering the kitchen and ourselves in flour which didn't end up being a bad thing as we ended showering after - together. Once completed with all of our dues, we headed over to the Jackson's. 

***Hello again. Long time no see. This is purely a fun book and I will be much more interactive with you guys in this book so yeah, there's that. Also, my first priority is "Heroes of Savera" even if it goes doing in a giant ball of flames due to its suckiness but I don't care, I'm having fun writing it. Anywho, thanks for reading! One last thing, this book is all just cute little scenes, nothing terrifying (I mean it this time). I love all of you demigods! -Izzy
