Short Story #52 - Photography at the Beach - Annabeth and Percy

Percy rips open the package and squeals like a girl when he sees what is inside. He lifts it out of the box. He has wanted one of these forever!
A Cannon EOS-1D C camera. It's one with a huge long lens and takes insanely good quality pictures.
"Who sent it?" he questions out loud. He looks around in the box before finding a shell. "Dad. I'll make sure to pray to you tonight and give you some extra yummy blue cookies."
He grabs his camera and runs to the Athena cabin. He bursts through the door and Annabeth jumps a foot in the air.
"Percy! Why did you have to barge in like that?" she asks, slightly amused.
"Cause my dad, sorry Poseidon, sent me a really awesome camera and I want to take pictures on the beach." He rushes out.
"COOL!" she says as she stows her laptop away and gets up.
"Is it okay if I take pictures of you?" Percy asks timidly as they walk hand in hand towards their beach.
"Of me? Why would you want to do that?" she asks.
"Why wouldn't I? You are the most beautiful girl on the face of this Earth." He responds easily as if he was stating facts about fish.
"I'm just Annabeth and -" she gets cut off.
"Exactly. You are just Annabeth. And I want to capture these memories so that when we get old and wrinkly, we will be able to look back on these pictures." He says.
"Well, most demigods don't live past their 20's so... What's the point?" Of course Annabeth looks at the situation realistically.
"I am going to make sure that we make it through all of this together and alive. I swear." Percy's loyalty is definitely getting the best of him. "But can you please be my beautiful model??" he pouts and everyone knows that Annabeth cannot resist the bottom lip out puppy dog pout.
"Fine," she agrees, "but only if I get a kiss."
"I thought you'd never ask," he responds before leaning in and connecting his lips to hers. A blinding flash makes Annabeth pull away in shock.
Percy is laughing as he looks at the photo he look. It looks pretty good actually. She just blushes before stomping away along the beach. He just follows and takes pictures.
Her hair is blowing in the wind and it makes the perfect action shot when a wave breaks on a rock right next to her.
Snap. The camera takes a picture. She turns around. Snap. Another one. Percy runs toward her and takes an awkward selfie. Their faces are smashed together and there is no background.
"That's a keeper!" Percy yells as he runs away from Annabeth before she can delete it.
"Aww. Come on! We need to take a better one than that!" she argues, but Percy is already half-way down the beach taking pictures as he goes.
Annabeth grumbles before walking towards her lovely boyfriend.
