Percy°°°°°°°°

As I felt the ground beneath my feet, I opened my eyes, only to close them again as an arrow comes flying at me. When nothing happens after a few seconds I peek my eye open and see the arrow on the ground, and Artemis' lip slightly lift at the side. I fully open my eyes and look at the ground next to my feet and see I had dropped the rest of my cookie, I could feel the water building up in my eyes, and my bottom lip start wobbling, and when Artemis came over to see what I was doing, chuckling when she saw my cookie, I looked right at her, and her smile went to panic, trying to look away from my face but it was no use, she was already trapped.  "No, no, dont cry percy, I'll get more cookies ok? Would that make you feel better?" she gently patted my hair, hugging me tightly. I nodded a yes and she let out a deep breath before dragging me to a tent, and inside was a kitchen set up, cabinets, a sink, a fridge and freezer, and a counter. She started pulling things out and I sat on a stool next to the counter. I watched as she started making cookies, helping occasionally, we were just putting them in the oven when the tent opened, and thalia came in.

Artemis°°°°°°°°
As Thalia entered I saw her eyes widen, and I figured it had something to do with the fact I  had blue flour covering my face and arms, while Percy had it in his hair, and blue tinted lips from eating cookie dough. As she continued to look back and forth between us, she finally settled on Percy. "Wha- ho- ooooh, you did the thing didn't you?" I was confused as he nodded his head. Soon, Thalia was sitting on the floor laughing while I stood with my hands on my hips, " what is the thing?" I asked impatiently, Percy moving away from me, and out of sight.
" You fell for his baby seal eyes, the face he makes that causes his eyes to water, and his lip to wobble." she answered, sitting while holding her stomach.
And in the two seconds it took me to process her words, Percy had already took precautions, something he probably started once out of my view. Because as soon as I looked at him, he had a huge, bright smile, and his eyes alight with happiness, his hair messed up, and piles of cookies in front of him, along with two stools on either side of him, and it was to adorable of a scene that I couldn't stay mad. I helped Thalia up and she joined me next to Percy, eating the cookies.

---20 minutes later---

We just finished a plate if cookies when we heard a commotion outside, and, before we could go do anything, hunters started filing into the tent with weapons out, before lowering them slightly in confusion.
"We where worried about you when you did not return." Phoebe says to Thalia.

"I am sorry, I totally forgot" She said whilst face palming herself.
She then turned to me and asked, "why is Percy here?"
Percy looked slightly offended by the question, "do you not want me anymore Thalia, dear cousin of mine, sister in all but blood, best friend of my soon to be fiancé, lieutenant of the hunters of Artemis, immortal maiden, daughter of Zeus, my favorite female cousin, one third of the three musketeers, lady of lightning-" he didn't get to finish as Thalia finally shook herself of the shock she'd gone into and covered his mouth.
"Wait, wait, wait, what do you mean? Are you gonna propose?!" she squealed, happily then in disgust as a second later he licked her hand.
"Yes, I plan on it, I just have to survive two years with you, and the other hunters before I have athena's blessing. And dont tell Annabeth, she doesn't know where I am or what Im doing other then Im on a quest." I chuckled as Thalia started hugging Percy tightly laughing happily. I glanced around and saw the other hunters have wary looks on their faces. I should have a talk with them, I do not wish for Percy to get to severely hurt on my watch, in fear of Poseidon's wrath.
I turned back to Percy and Thalia to hear Percy inviting the hunters to have some cookies, and that I made them so they shouldn't worry about poison. And so, there we sat and I knew, Percy would have no problem surviving, and that the next two years would be fun and unusual to say the least, and a thought occurred to me in that moment, "and, with Percy's secret quest, that means, we shall not enter either camp for the next two years." I announced and the hunters roared their approval, Percy fitting right in.
