August 18th

     As you all should know, today is a very, VERY important day.  Probably the most important day for the PJO fandom.  Today, of course, is Percy's birthday!  This is the day when his mom would make him all sorts of blue food. 

     Now everyone always says "Happy Birthday" to Percy, but let's not forget this is a double special day. Today is also the Percabeth anniversary.  After the battle was over and all the campers were back at CHB, Annabeth and Tyson went to make Percy a 'blue brick with extra blue cement'.  Annabeth found Percy sitting on a bench in the dining pavilion.  She told him happy birthday and they shared the 'cupcake'.  After sitting for a few minutes, Percy started trying to explain why he declined the gods offer to make him a god.  Annabeth was, of course, the reason, but he was unsuccessful in getting his point across.  He started bluntly telling Annabeth that when he was bathing in the River Styx, he had to think of something that would hold him to the world.  The only thing that worked was Annabeth. 

     Annabeth laughed at Percy's attempt to be romantic and said, "Do you have something to say to me Seaweed Brain?"  Percy's response was, "You're laughing at me?"  Annabeth smiled and replied, "No, I am not."  Percy, getting very frustrated at this point, complained, "You're not making this easy for me."  Annabeth smiled, put her arms around Percy's neck and said, "I am never going to make things easy, Seaweed Brain."  Annabeth kissed Percy and Clarisse, standing behind them, growled "It's about time."  Percy and Annabeth turned to see a crowd coming towards them.  The next thing they knew they were on the crowd's shoulders, just close enough to hold hands, being taken towards the canoe lake. In the next second, the crowd dumped Percy and Annabeth into the lake, but Percy got the last laugh when he willed all the air in the lake to form a huge air bubble where he and Annabeth had enjoyed "the best underwater kiss ever."  And that is when, even though we all knew that in the end Percabeth would be a thing, they really became a couple.     

So, on this day in PJO history, we have not one, but two big things to celebrate:

Happy Birthday, Percy!

and

Happy Anniversary, Percabeth!
