Percy POV (I bet you weren't expecting that were you?)

       🌊🌊🌊

     I grinned in satisfaction as Annabeth came out of the girls bathroom looking like she could skin me alive. Sure we got our revenge last week but that doesn't mean I want to stop all these pranks. I mean what could be better than being able to prank your girlfriend and have her agree to the terms and conditions of having a prank war? Not a lot.

            I made my way over to my cabin ready to spend the afternoon beheading training dummies and avoiding Annabeth. Because as much as I love my girlfriend, I was so not ready to face her wrath.

            When I got to the arena, no one else was there which is just the way I like it. It leaves me free to mess up as much as I wanted without having to feel embarrassed. I took riptide out of my pocket and began chopping off dummies heads like they were made of Jello.

            I was probably chopping heads until after dinner, when at this point Will and Nico decided to come in. At this point I was pretty uncomfortable being in the presence of a possible romance, especially when one of the contenders was a boy I'd known since I was about 13, and I wasn't his type. I mean what does he mean, 'not his type'?

            I'm everybody's type! But it got even worse when they looked as if they might be more focused on each-other than on training. I'm just not a very sappy guy, unless it's with Annabeth.

            I slipped out as quickly as possible and made my way to my cabin to shower off, who knows maybe I'd see Annabeth when I went to the mess hall to get a late night snack. Even if I was trying to avoid her because of the whole prank thing, she was still my girlfriend. I literally went through hell and back to be with her and I'm not going to let some prank war going on take her away from me.

🌊🌊🌊

            I came out of the shower steam to find incessant knocking on my door. I dressed as fast as I could without tripping over and answered the door with half my shirt on, to Chris standing there covered in what looked like blood and monster dust.

"Percy, come quick it's Annabeth!There was a mon-"

            I didn't even wait for him to finish talking before rushing out the door with riptide in my pocket. It's that whole going-through-hell-and-back thing that makes me the slightest bit protective over her. Especially if it involves spiders.

            Chris caught up to me and started to lead the way towards the creek where we played capture the flag and I immediately saw the crowd that was forming.

I rushed to the front and the sight that greeted me made my heart touch rock bottom.

Annabeth was lying with her head in Clarisse's lap and she was covered in blood and monster dust while Ms. O'Leary roamed the small circle the audience had made.

I turned to Chris and asked him a favor. "Hey listen will you get everyone out of here?"

He nodded. "Sure man."

The crowd started to dispers in low murmurs and I kneeled my Annabeth's side taking her head and placing it on my lap.

Up close she looked just as bad as she had in the Battle of Manhattan. She looked up at me through half-lidded eyes and gave a weak laugh.

"Hey Seaweed brain, took you long enough to get here."

I tried to stay strong for her, I swear to the gods I tried. But I couldn't because my Wise Girl wasn't okay. She tried to say something but I cut her off.

"No, what happened Annabeth?"

She gave a dry chuckle once more.

"Well, you see it's actually a pretty funny story."

🌊🌊🌊

"That story wasn't funny at all Annabeth. What in Hades were you thinking?!!"

"Nothing at the time really, but Percy,"

"Yeah?"

"I have something really, really important to tell you." she beckoned me closer and I leaned down until I could feel her breath on my ear, giving me shivers.

"I think I won."

I pulled back and stared at her until it all clicked.

"What do you mea-oh."

She grinned at me like she knew what I was thinking.

"Annabeth I-don't-know-your-middle-name Chase!The next time you ever do something like that to me again I swear to the gods I'll be the one to-mphh"

She cut me off with a kiss-which is probably the best way to get cut off if you ask me- and even after all this time with her it still feels like my brain is melting right through my body.

"Looks like these two need some time for themselves." came a voice from behind us which I suspected was Clarisse. I was right.

Before we knew it, campers had flooded the scene once again and we were being thrown into the lake.

Jokes on them, being the son of Poseidon does have it's perks you know.

Even though it was a bit sloppy and tasted of ketchup I think it's safe to say it was pretty much the second  best under-water kiss of all time.
