Oh, dear readers, (or at least the one person that purposefully reads my stuff and not the lost wanderers of the Internet and Wattpad that just manage to land on my page and delete it immediately) when will I ever stop writing Percabeth fanfiction? Probably never. When will I start writing ships other than that, though? When you request it!!! (Please stay mostly canon for me, though.) Until then, I get to write what I please, and let me warn you, almost every time I think of a cute fanfiction, Percabeth is the first thing that comes to mind, so good luck, Jiper, Frazel, Caleo, and Solangelo shippers!

This is based off of a chapter from a manga I read called Nukoduke! Fans of this, you might understand when you read this little one-shot, but you don't need to know it to read this.

Perseus= Penelope
Annabeth= Andrew

"Andrew, Andrew, let's spar!"

Andrew swatted her hand away from his head, saying, "Not right now, Penny. I want to finish this book by tomorrow. My loan at the library is going to expire soon."

Penny pouted. "Please, Andy?"

"How many times have I told you not to call me Andy, Penelope?"

"How many times have I told you not to call me Penelope, Andy?"

"Seaweed brain."

"Wise guy."

"Kelp head!"

"Smart alec!"

"Fish breath!"

"Owl face!"

"Wait, wait, wait. Truce?"

"Truce."

"Time?"

Penny chewed on her lip for a moment. "Uh... About thirty seconds."

"Really?"

"Uh huh. That's faster than our usual time. I think we're starting to get along better."

Andrew scoffed. "I should hope so; we've been dating for a little over three months and have been friends for about four years before that."

"Wow... Four years, huh? It didn't seem like that long at the time."

The son of Athena smiled. "That's because we were fighting for our lives half the time."

"Oh yeah, that's it."

Andrew rolled his eyes, then stood from the tree he was lying against and pecked Penny on the cheek before sitting back down and swatting her away again. "Go; I need to finish this book, and I can't do that with you distracting me."

Penny looked like she was going to turn around for a few moments, but after a brief second of indecision, she walked up to Andrew and sat next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder.

Andrew, who had already begun reading again, was so surprised by this random act of cuteness from his usually tomboyish girlfriend that he dropped his book.

"Uh-um... Penny?" Andrew silently cursed his voice at cracking. "What are you doing?"

"I'm sitting next to you." Penny smiled slightly from her boyfriend's awkward reaction and leaned in closer, hugging his arm and adjusting the position of her head on his shoulder. "If you don't want me to bother you about sparring, I won't. In the end, I just wanted to be near you, so if you want to read your book without distractions, I won't distract you. I'll be quiet, I promise."

Andrew muttered something softly under his breath about how Penny's type of distraction didn't have anything to do with noise.

Penny giggled softly (she'd probably heard) then fell silent, closing her eyes.

They sat there for a while, relaxing in the camp weather and each other's companionship. Andrew finished his book, not remembering a single thing that he had read. He set the book down beside him.

"Penny?"

"Hm?"

"I love you. You know that, right?"

Penny sat straight up and looked Andrew directly in the eyes, one of the things that Andrew loved about her. "Of course I know that." Then her serious expression faded and she gave a huge grin. "I love you, too, Andrew."

Andrew woke up with tears in his eyes again.

A small, scared voice hesitantly asked, "Are you alright, Andrew? Did you have a nightmare?"

Andrew turned toward the noise. It was the newest addition to the Athena cabin, an eight-year-old named Sarah that had been claimed at the campfire. The child was standing at the side of the bed with worry and fear in her eyes.

Andrew sat up and rubbed his face with his hands before asking, "How late is it?"

Malcolm didn't even look up from the blueprints he was poring over at a desk to the side. "3 AM."

Andrew nodded, then turned to the girl and quickly reassured her. "It wasn't scary. I had a very nice dream."

The girl looked skeptical. "Then why are you so sad?"

Andrew liked kids. They tended to like him back. The reason being, he didn't talk down to them. He just told them the truth. "I'm sad because I woke up, and I realized that it was only a dream."

"Then you need to make the dream real, right? Then you won't be sad anymore."

"I think you're right, Sarah, but it might be a long time before I can make it real, so I'm just going to have to dream and wait until the time comes."

"I'll wait with you! Then when Penny comes back to camp, you can introduce me to her!"

"Yeah, I think she'll like that... Wait, how do you know about Penny?"

The kid gave an innocent smile and blinked her big, gray eyes, but Andrew could see the knowledge behind them.

"Everyone knows about you and Penny. You two are the talk of the camp."

Andrew blinked. "We are?"

"Uh huh! Besides, you were saying her name in your sleep." The kid winked, then went back to her bunk, leaving Andrew speechless.

He turned to his brother, who was still working on the blueprints at his desk. "Malcolm, do they really-"

"Yes."

"A-and do I really-"

"Absolutely."

He laid back down and stared at the ceiling. "Penny's really got me wrapped around her little finger, doesn't she?"

"Definitely."

Okay, people, how was that? I hope you liked it! You might have noticed that it is based off of the headcanon I wrote before this, too! By the way, yes, I know that Percy and Annabeth only dated for two months after the Titan war. I had Penny say that they had been dating for three months because it was Andrew's fantasy of what could have happened if Penny hadn't disappeared. I better not get any rage comments on how wrong I am, now! Also, do you think I should do a part two of when Andrew finally reunites with Penny? Comment your thoughts!

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I snuck a little Twilight reference in there, so if any Twi-hards in the fandom slew want to find it, comment what you think it is!
