Well Lookie Here I'm a Demigod

Chapter 6

Percy

I look over Annabeth's shoulder and see Ariana very shocked. I ask Ariana what's wrong,

Still with her mouth open she pointed to Leo and Piper, TOGETHER!

"Ok, that is not right!"

"What?"

Annabeth asks.

I point to Leo and Piper.

"Oh my gods! Ari that's what they were talking about!"

"I wonder why it took so long?"

Ariana asks.

"I bet he had to convince her!"

She says with a laugh.

"Well I guess I don't have anyone to sit with... Sigh"

"Fine come on!"

Annabeth says.

"Yeah, I have enough watermelon!"

I say.

"Well I don't want to intrude but since you insist!"

Ariana says with a big smile.

"I hope you don't like watermelon cause I love me some watermelon!"

Everyone laughs.

The fireworks start soon after that. Everyone clapps and shouts at the big ones. Finally at the end there is one large pink one that says, "HAPPY ONE HOUR ANNIVERSARY, PIPER! LOVE LEO!" In a heart.

Everyone in the camp turns towards Leo and Piper and makes kissy faces. Leo smiles proudly while Piper hides underneath the blanket. Finally Leo notices that Piper is hiding and shakes her shoulder.

"Well, that's a good start to a relationship!"

I say.

Then all of us laugh.

After the fireworks the campfire roars to life and everyone cheers and runs to the campfire. Annabeth and I slow down and hold hands. Leo runs up to us and asks, "I mean I don't know man. Why is she mad? Was it something that I said? Was it because I shook her?"

"Maybe because you embarrassed her in front of the whole camp?"

Annabeth says.

"Oh man! I didn't know that would embarrass her! Ugh I'm so mad at myself!" He curses under his breath.

"Well, the right thing to do is apologize! Go say sorry and promise you will never do it again!"

I tell Leo.

"Yeah that's a good idea. I'm gonna go do that!"

Then Leo leaves and it's just me and Annabeth.

"You better not do anything like that to me! Unless it's just us and our friends!"

Annabeth warns me.

"Hey, if I can't even start a firework I certainly can't make one that is full proof and say that!"

I reply.

"Good."

She says then lets go of my hand and runn to catch up with Ariana.
