— LAST NIGHT.
Jason was on his bed, sprawled across the sheets. He was comfortably sleeping until he heard a soft fumble on the floorboards. His eyes flickered open and rubbed his eyes to wake him up. Jason saw someone who he assumed climbed through his cabin window to get inside. He squinted to see who it was—considering he didn't have his glasses on. Then he realized:
"Percy—?"
Percy was hovering over him now, "Hey, Jace. How's your sleep?" He grinned at him.
"It was going well, until you broke into my cabin." Jason grumbled but he couldn't help but smirk.
"Yeah... I was worried about that. But anyway, wanna go something fun with me?"
"What? Why? It's like 22:30, the cleaning harpies will come and kill us."
"'Cuz it's fun to do it at nighttime. Pleeease? It looks pretty at night too... plus I've got the 'us dying' part all covered." Percy gave a thumbs up and a wider grin to Jason.
"Why don't you ask someone else to go with you? Annabeth? Leo?" Jason asked, he wanted to stay in bed for as long as possible.
Percy rolled his eyes, "You know how Annabeth is when you wake her in the middle of her 'beauty sleep',"—he made air quotes with his fingers—"and it'll be like, ten times more fun with you! And I know you aren't that grumpy when you get woken up in the middle of the night."
Jason chuckled, "Okay, fine. Where're we going though?"
Percy's eyes gleamed, "Oh, you will see." He smirked.
Jason knew full well that something will happen when following Percy's stupid plans but he decided some fun wouldn't hurt. Plus added that apparently Percy thought this through to not get caught, which is very unlike him but Jason didn't question it.

"Close your eyes," Percy said.
"Why?" Jason asked.
"Just do it,"
"Okay,"
Jason closed his eyes tight while Percy guided him around.
After a while of walking, they arrived... well somewhere.
"You can open you eyes, now!" Percy exclaimed.
Jason opened his eyes and saw that they were at the lake, he felt the sand soft melt around his bare feet—Percy convinced him to do that, the smell of the waters filled his nose and the blow of the cool winds as it got pushed against his bare arms and legs—which Percy also convinced him to go out in his thin pyjamas. But Jason didn't mind, it felt good to have a good breeze. The ripples of the lake brushed over the sand, taking some with it.
"So, what'cha think? Pretty, right?" Percy asked, walking closer to the shore and dipping his bare feet into it.
Jason didn't know what to say, so he just smiled. "Yeah," He copied Percy and started to dip his own feet in the cold yet warm lake.
