Alex was singing to herself as she did the chores. She leapt over the counter and danced across the table. Her golden hair—which happened to be thigh-length today—flew every whitch way, also known as the name of the song she was singing.

It was the theame song to one of her favorite First Dimension TV shows: Every Witch Way

" I cast a spell
It takes a hold of you
I see my dreams
And they're all coming true

C'mon
Let's go
You and me together
Look up ahead,
There's a magical adventure

Every witch way ay ay ay ayy
I'm trying every witch way ay ay ay ayy
I'm going every witch way ay ay ay ayy
Every witch way" she finished with an advanced spin that only a ballerina that had trained her entire life would've been able to pull off.

" Thanks, cuz." I said quietly.

" For what?" Gwen asked.

" Remember, it was three years ago? You made a bet with me, and if I lost, I had to ask her to be my girlfriend. I lost. Thanks for making me do it. I don't think I've ever been happier then I am now. And it's all thanks to you." I told her. She grinned.

" You're welcome. But do you know how you could make it up to me?" She asked. I snapped out of my daze, eager to  know what I could do to repay her.

" What?"

" Kiss her for me. Kiss her for a long time," she said, and walked down the hall to do to bed. I stared after her. What was she thinking? It wasn't like I could just go up to Alex and request she stop so we could make out all night.

" Hey, you wanna get out of here and  have some time together?" Alex asked, walking up to me. I glanced down the hall at Gwen. She had a wicked grin on her face. I sighed.

" Sure," I said.

"A G.D.N.O.A.T. That my freind, is what you had. Greatest. Date. Night. Of. All. Time." Kevin said. I groaned. Kevin, Rook, Tucker, and Danny were sitting at in chairs in the living room the next morning. Apparently, news travelled fast around this ship. Gwen had told Sam, who'd told Jazz, who'd told Danny, who'd told Kevin, who'd told me.

" Dude, how are you that good? I wanna be that good!" Tucker complained.

" It was just a kiss," I said.

" A kiss that lasted for twenty seconds," said Danny with his eyebrow raised.

" How did you hold your breath?" I was afraid to answer.

" Promise you won't freak?...Practice. Lots of practice holding my breath while kissing her, okay? Are you happy now?" I asked, crossing my arms. Danny, Tucker, Kevin, and Rook looked blown away. 

" Man, how much do you like this girl?" Kevin asked. I smiled.

" A lot. I really, really like her," I told them. Danny had a dreamy smile that I suspected was on my face too. But at the moment, I didn't really care.

" How do you know those children from that camp for demigods?" Rook asked Alex. Alex smiled and whipped out her phone. She pulled up something on her phone and passed it to Rook.

He grinned and passed it Tucker, who passed it to Gwen, who passed it to Sam, who passed it to Danny, who passed it Kevin. After Kevin's jaw dropped maybe twice from looking at it, he handed it to me. I looked at it. It was a photograph of Alex wearing a Camp Half-Blood shirt.
