"Holy shit Ed," Percy said looking at the tickets, "these must have cost a fortune." Percy knew the water park that was featured in this ticket, it was very popular and very expensive for the normal person to go to.
"Not really," the billionaire said with a shrug, "anyway I basically bought the entire park out for the day, so....I suggest we all leave as fast as we can."
Percy blinked at Ed and then turned to Thalia again, "you are the best girlfriend ever, period."
Thalia grinned, "I know. Now, go ahead," she pointed to the head table where Chiron was waiting for him, "tell them all what we are going to do today."
Percy grinned as he gave her another kiss walking towards Chiron. "Did you know what they were planning?" he asked his old mentor.
"Well.....a little," the old hero trainer admitted, "it is good to see Edward back in this Hall," the legendary teacher spoke as he smiled at Ed who smiled back, "now, go ahead Percy, make your announcement."
Percy nodded as he turned around and cleared his throat, "alright everyone listen up!" the campers stopped eating as they all turned to him one by one, "now I know what you are thinking, 'he's probably going to make some announcement about training or something', and while usually that would be the case today is going to be a little different."
The campers all looked surprised while Thalia and Edward smiled knowingly. Percy continued, "as some of you might know today is my birthday," he paused waiting for them to complete their birthday wishes and greeting before continuing, "yes, thank you. And so, my gift to you all today is this, today there will be no training."
Everyone broke into cheers and applause even louder than the ones they gave for his birthday. Percy sighed, 'they are a little too excited about all this. Am I really that bad?'
After the stopped cheering Percy continued, " but that is not the only gift. The other was done in surprise by my wonderful girlfriend Thalia," the girl mentioned blushed, "who managed to do it without tipping anyone off, somehow."
Percy held up the tickets, "full day passes to Splish and Splash, the water park. Everyone, get your swimming suits ready, we are going to a water park!"
This time they cheered even louder making Percy smile.
"How are we getting there?" Clarisse asked out loud.
Percy turned to Ed who spoke up, "I rented out a couple of school busses, they will be here in about....an hour's time. Enough space for us all."
The campers started to whisper amongst themselves again as a buzz of excitement filled the air. Percy smiled, "alright, get ready and meet us by the barrier tree in one hour's time. Head counselors are obviously responsible for making sure everyone get's ready on time and obviously this isn't compulsory, you can stay back, but I don't really think you want to."
"No shit Sherlock!" Michael yelled out.
"Fuck you Michael!" Percy cursed back.
"I didn't realise you were gay Percy!"
"I'm not, it doesn't count when the guy looks like a girl!"
Michael blinked, "you think I'm pretty."
Percy blushed, "okay, fine, you win. Let's just drop this."
"Oh hell no," Michael replied with a grin, "you think I'm pretty!"
"Micheal...stop, please."
"Do you think I'm prettier than Thalia?"
"Dude, it's my birthday, stop."
"No, of course not, she's your girlfriend, how about Annabeth? Am I prettier than her?"
Percy whimpered, "you won, okay? Please just stop."
"No way! Tell me Percy, am I prettier than Annabeth? Tell me! Tell me!"
Zap!
Michael was paralyzed by a well placed zap of electricity from Thalia. She blew on her outstretched finger like it was a gun, "you don't have to thank me."
The camp chuckled at their antics as quickly they all started to talk amongst themselves again.
Just then Annabeth spoke up, "wait...you want to bring the entire camp to the park? Won't our collected scents attract a lot of attention? The monstrous kind?"
Edward smiled, "and that's what this is for," he said tapping his case. He put it down on nearest table and opened it again. He then stepped aside allowing everyone in camp to get a clear view of the large collection of green pills inside it.
"Wait...are those..." Annabeth began.
"The immunity pills," Edward nodded, "with these you won't have a problem with monsters catching your scent again."
The campers all began to murmur among themselves again. It had been a week since they all heard about the immunity pills. Since then the campers had all been anxious to get their hands on a pill for themselves, but they knew it had to be tested first.
"So...who wants to go first?" Thalia asked.
The campers looked nervous as nobody stepped forward. But just then a voice called out, "us!"
Nico and Decker walked out of the gathered demigods with eager smiles on their faces as they eyed the pills.
Percy smiled, "I should have know you two would want to try them out first."
"You know it," Decker said grinning at the young man he had come to view as an older brother or sorts.
"Alright then, before we begin," Thalia turned to Percy, "maybe you should grab some milk from the kitchen."
Percy nodded as he did just that. Soon everyone from camp gathered up behind Nico and Decker waiting patiently for their turn. They all basically had the same reaction, panting with a look of constipation. Not even the Aphrodite kids could make that look good, though Drew did somehow manage to pull it off.
Soon the demigods went back to their cabins to pack as Edward meet up with the other head councilors and Chiron to catch up or simply talk. Percy and Thalia on the other hand slipped into Poseidon's cabin where Percy provided to show Thalia just how much he loved her gift.

An hour later;
Percy, Thalia and Leo walked to the entrance of the camp and waited near the barrier tree where most of the campers had already gathered. Thalia and Percy had a wide smile on their face, one didn't have to be a child of Athena to figure out why.
Peleus the dragon had been growing at a steady pace over the last month. He was now big enough to wrap around the branch on which the Golden Fleece was perched. He didn't look like much of threat right now, what with Katie Gardener current playing with the gaurdian, feeding him some berries from out of his hand, but Percy knew that the creature was still a dragon, meaning he would grow up big and strong.
Annabeth noticed then, "hey guys, what," Annabeth paused and sighed,".....Thalia you got like twenty hickies around your neck."
Thalia blinked as her hand went immediately to her neck as she blushed. Percy chuckled causing Thalia to beat his stomach playfully.
"You know I can heal those if you want," Percy offered, "if it really bothers you so much."
"No..." Thalia muttered, "it's cool." Percy grinned while Annabeth just sighed at her friend's actions. It was like Thalia was a different person every time she was with Percy, more open, more.....normal.
Soon it was 9 and everyone had gathered around the barrier tree. Edward soon lead the small group down the hill and to the main road where sure enough was 3 school buses waiting for them.
They all got on, cabin by cabin. Percy, Thalia, the Athena and Hermes cabin all got on one bus with Edward as their 'adult' supervisor. Unfortunately Leo couldn't come with, but the wolf hybrid didn't seem to mind, something about having the camp all for himself. Percy was just hoping they didn't all come back to see the camp covered with piss.
Soon the bus was in motion and very was buzzing in excitement.
"Alright everyone!" Edward shouted out, "let's sing a travel song!"
"Please don't," Percy mumbled.
"Shut up Percy!" Ed replied with a grin, "now, 100 bottles of beer on the wall, 100 bottles of beer! Take one down, pass it around, 99 bottles of beer on the wall."
Percy was practically in tears as quickly everyone joined in. Thalia grinned at her boyfriend's pain as she too joined up on the sound singing the loudest.
"99 bottles of beer on the wall! 99 bottles of beer! Take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall!"
One long ride later;
"...pass it around! 21 bottles of beer on the wall!"
"We're here!" Percy shouted out loud pointing at the billboard for the water park in question that came into view.
The campers all in the bus quickly stopped singing talking amongst themselves, whispering how excited they were. Percy sighed at the sweet relief of not having to listen to that accursed song anymore while Thalia just smiled.
They quickly reached the place and sure enough Percy was the first one out of the bus. He didn't mind the trip itself, that was fine, and the singing was...manageable. It was just how damn slow everything was going! Percy could have run the same distance in less than a minute, so being forced to sit inside a bus that went at a snail's pace compared to him was kind of boring.
Soon everyone gathered in front of the water park's entrance as they all began to pair up. Percy obviously paired up with Thalia and were put in charge of the minor demigods, it was the couple's job to make sure they didn't do anything stupid.
They all quickly left the parking lot and approached the water park. The entrance was a big wooden building with open walls and a roof shaped like an umbrella with a corridor on either side leading to a small building that was marked as the men's and women's changing room.
Edward quickly greeted the manager of the place who trated Ed like a God, considering the man did just buy of the entire park for the day. After exchanging a few words Ed came back to the campers who were anxious to get going, some were bouncing on their feet in excitement.
"Alright everyone the first thing we need to do is change!" Edward called out, "these are the changing rooms. The mens are to my left," he pointed behind him, "and the women's are to my right. Get changed and meet up on the other side of this building!"
The campers all nodded as they all quickly ran off to do so. Percy opened his inventory and passed Thalia her bag which she had packed before while he himself went into the men's changing room and quickly got ready.
Percy came out and found that he was the first one to get ready, obviously changing at super speed had some perks. He had chosen a simple set of blue and black swimming trunks that reached halfway to his knees along with a set of flip flops. His Olympus tattoo with the nine stripes and the scar he got from Alcyoneus was on full display. He didn't really care about the scar, he got used to seeing it, plus Thalia thought it looked cool so that was a plus.
He quickly passed a small ticket barrier, which had been disabled since they already knew he was meant to be here. The other side of the building lead to a courtyard of sorts filled with a single bagel stand and a couple of gaming stands which were filled with employees that smiled at him.
Percy smiled back but quickly ignored them as he walked forward passed the courtyard and towards a gift shop of sorts that was currently closed, guess Ed didn't want the campers spending money on it.
Percy took a deep breath, through his connection with water he could feel everything inside this park. Every single ride in here featured several metric tons of water being pumped in and out. Percy could feel it all flow through the pipes below him. The park might look big above ground, but the stuff underneath was simply massive.
"Well don't you look handsome," Percy heard his dad's voice call out.
Percy turned as sure enough there was Poseidon dressed up in his usual blue hawaiian shirt and beige slacks with his trident in the form of a pool noodle. The God had a couple of shades on along with a large straw hat as he sipped from a giant slurpee.
"Dad?" Percy asked as he smiled, "what are you doing here?"
"Just came to wish you a happy birthday son," the sea God said smiling, "Happy Birthday Percy, 14 is a very big milestone you know."
Percy chuckled, "yeah, I'm sure."
"But I must say you don't look 14," Poseidon examined Percy body, "if I was to guess you would easily be confused by someone older......maybe 17."
Percy nodded, "yeah, it's a perk I obtained from fighting a monster. It basically increases my growth causing me to reach my prime quicker."
Poseidon whistled, "nice. Though such a blessing must also have a drawback."
Percy sighed, "it does. It also increase my, ah,well, my sexual drive," Poseidon snickered at Percy's blush, "but Gamer's mind helps me keep it under check, mostly."
"And the things that Gamer's mind can't control?"
Percy blush grew redder, "I ah, I manage."
Poseidon raised an eyebrow, "Thalia?" Percy didn't say anything which only made the God grin even wider, "I see. Well it does make sense. Just do push it okay? I don't want to be a grandfather so soon. Well I am already, but that's not the point."
"Dad!" Percy yelled, "seriously! Stop! We haven't even...well you know."
Poseidon nodded, "okay fine, I'll stop, but only because I know how embarrassing it is for you to have the sex talk with your father." Percy grumbled but said nothing. Slowly Poseidon's smile went away as he looked at the scar on Percy's body, "does it hurt?"
"What?" Percy asked confused before looking at where Poseidon was staring, "on, no. Not really."
"Hum, maybe Gamer's body is keeping the pain away," Poseidon said, "mostly scars like that...they tend to make a person feel...something."
Percy nodded, "I figured. Anyway don't' worry, I'll training every day to become stronger, it won't happen again."
Poseidon sighed but nodded, "yes, it won't. And I am here to make sure of that."
Percy blinked, "what do you mean?"
Poseidon said nothing as he snapped his finger summoning something in a flash of bright light. As Percy blinked away his temporary blindness he looked to see his dad holding up a black metal gauntlet.
"Here," Poseidon threw the gauntlet to Percy who caught it with ease.
The son of Poseidon looked it over, the gauntlet was black with greek runes written all over it in white. Percy could understand some, mostly the basic ones, but the rest were way too advanced for him.
The gauntlet itself was made out of a very light metal that shined like glass and very soft cloth. The forearm had a large slab of metal going all the way around the forearm. The writs and glove however were made out of the soft, almost silk like cloth, with a blue line going between the metal and the leather.
