"Hey, do you guys know who Ethan is?" Percy asked Jason and Grover.

"No, why?" Jason asked, taking a sip from his beer.

"Well, Annabeth's out with some guy named Ethan, and—"

"When she's never expressed any interest in you!? How dare she?" Grover asked.

"You just need to forget about her, take a trip, see the world, find any other woman." Jason patted Percy's shoulder.

"Looks like you've already got that part planned." Grover noted the backpack and suitcase Percy had.

"The aquarium is sending me to Australia. They have a fish; we want the fish, but they don't want to give us the fish; it's all very fishy."

"Smells like it too." Grover said, sniffing Percy as if he smelled like a fish.

"Can you just give this to Annabeth when you guys do presents? I have to head to the airport now if I'm gonna catch the flight they set up for me."

"Sure man, try to have fun, eat some Australian food."

Annabeth eventually showed up, a dazzling look in her eye.

"The date went well?" Hazel asked.

"Yes." Annabeth smiled knowingly.

"Did he get you something?" Piper asked dreamily.

"You think I told him it was my birthday?"

"I don't know, what's the look for, then?" Piper asked.

"I'm excited to open my presents." Annabeth said it like it should have been obvious."

"Right, sorry." Hazel rolled her eyes. "Do you want a turkey burger or a hot dog?"

"Presents first."

"Right, sorry." Hazel said again. "I'm dumb for not assuming that would be the first thing we do. Especially since we haven't spent weeks planning the other aspects of your party."

They all sat around Hazel and Annabeth's living room, drinking and eating the snacks that Hazel put out.

"Who's this one from?" Annabeth shook the box; it rattled.

"That one's from me." Jason smiled as Annabeth ripped it open.

"It's— It's travel scrabble.... Thanks, Jason." She stood to hug him while also handing him back the board game.

"This one's from me." Piper said, handing her another box.

Annabeth opened it and found a sweater.

"Thanks, Pipes. It's great."

"You're actually gonna wear it?" Piper asked hopefully.

"It's great for an exchange!"

"Yeah, the receipt is under the tissue paper." Piper laughed.

"And who's this one from?" Annabeth held the box Percy gave to Jason to give to Annabeth.

"That one's from Percy." Jason said.

Annabeth seemingly took an hour to unwrap it and get the lid off the box.

"It's— Oh. Oh my god. He remembered?"

"What is it, Beth?"

"It's— it's a coral necklace." Annabeth had a tear in her eye as her voice caught on the words.
