******Megan's POV*******

Samuel wanted me to meet him for a picnic, so I accepted. We've been dating for about two months now, so I knew that this picnic should be good. By the time I got there, Sammy was already set up and ready to entertain. I sat down next to him while he passed out snacks that he got from some Hermes kid who stole it from the nearby convenience store. I opened up my Diet Coke (like Mr.D! :p) and Samuel put his arm around me. I didn't want him to let go.

"Isn't the view beautiful?" I asked. It really was: the waves were tiny and the moon was a crescent.

"The view is not the only thing that's beautiful," he said leaning in to me. I knew he was trying to kiss me, so I leaned in too. Our lips were only an inch apart, when a bright light came up the path. A van saying 'Hermes Express' pulled up interrupting the moment I've been waiting for my whole life. A tall man with salt-and-pepper hair and dark blue eyes came up to us. Hermes. We walked up to him and I said the most simple thing I could think of.

"Hi," Okay, I could have done better than that. He replied and told us to come into the back of the van. I brought out a rat, just in case I see George.

The van was packed with all types of boxes saying from Drakon Eggs to Emergency Ambrosia. Hermes' computer was open to the stock quote of Disney. Why would that be open? Apparently, it gained 56 cents from last week. Hermes got a package out with a pretty little bow on it. He got out his caduceus (in signature pad mode) and gave it to me.

"A package for you, Megan. I also have an offer for you to buy this stock as well," Hermes said matter-of-factly. I took hold of George to sign my name.

"Hello, Megan. Do you have any ratssssss?" he slithered.

"GEORGE! That is not how you greet people! Hello Megan, how are you?" Martha scolded.

"Fine. George, I have your rat right here," I gave him the rat and signed my name on Martha. Hermes took the signature pad and handed me the package.

"Would you like the stock too? It could help you control the monsters," Hermes said imploring. I reluctantly paid a drachma for the Disney stock hoping that it was worth it. Sammy and I bid farewell to Hermes, George, and Martha and left the van.

"That was weird, so what's in the package?" Sammy asked. I shrugged and then opened it. It was a necklace with a heart on it. I opened up the locket and looked at the picture. It was of Sammy and I when we first started dating. It was adorable.

"Thank you, I love it," I complimented while putting it on. We walked back to the cabins, since it was almost curfew. Sammy, being the gentleman, escorted me to my cabin. I chose Aphrodite because the Zeus cabin gives me the creeps.

"Good night Meg," Sammy said. He leaned in one more time, so I leaned in too. We shared a brief kiss, and he walked back to the Hephaestus cabin.

"What was that all about?" Emeric questioned. I'm busted.

****Hola my fellow readers! That was an adorable chapter now, wasn't it? I'm sorry about the cliffhanger, and I know how it feels, but be happy I'm not like a specific person (cough, cough Rick Riordan) who makes you wait an ENTIRE year to find out what happens. Anyways, Vote/Comment/Follow and all the good stuff.
