A/N: So.. I thought the idea was interesting but didn't want to write out all Post-Son of Neptune stuff. For now, I'll save that for Riordan. (: Anyways, this is post-Son of Neptune (so if you don't want to be spoiled on certain characters, don't read!), the demigods and gods came together and were able to defeat Gaea and the Giants, yadayada, exciting stuff. Deaths, destruction, blahblahblah, but now, after a few months of settling down the two camps have merged and the sons and daughters of Aphrodite/Venus want to throw some drama in the loooooooooove zone. Uhh, first chapter is really just setting the ground, it's a little boring but it gets better I promise! New couple focus every two chapters I'm thinking, but it'll cycle through. Read&review please! (:

"Everyone, we have an announcement to make!" said one bubbly daughter of Venus. "Listen up!"

Drew stood up next to the girl and was going to use her charm speaking skills to convince everyone to participate in their little plan. "Okay, so we're here for all those single guys and gals out there, we'll be doing some match making! All you'll need to do is do a simple little quiz and we'll find who you're compatible with, whether you know it or not. To make it interesting, our cabin is offering a secret surprise to the cutest couple, or the couple we think is the most in love; you won't want to be out of the running for it. It'll be kind of like a competition, you'll get to live with your partner, and there will be small challenges and tasks for you to compete and overcome. We're asking couples who are already dating to join in too, if you're meant to be together you'll obviously be partnered up and you'll have a great shot at winning! So you should all, fill out a form right now sweeties, and let's get this competition on a roll!"

Murmurs and groans filled up the hall, but you could tell that some lights lit up in some eyes. It was definitely appealing, and what else was there to do? The Romans were definitely focused on war... but who said they couldn't have any fun? And the Greeks... They were up for a good time.

"Can you tell us the prize beforehand?" someone asked.

Drew smiled. "No, we're not gonna give it away just yet. We'll give you clues along the way though, but I guarantee it'll be valuable, honey. I'll pass out forms, and just be sure to get it to me or one of the other lovely ladies standing up here with me by the end of the week, we'll have the list out soon!"

She stepped down and passed out the papers to the people in the area. Some of the questions included: What's your favorite color? Preferred weapon? You come to a fork in a road. Do you go right or left? There were a few random ones strewn in amongst some sensible ones, but they all had worth. Drew grinned at the stack of papers she'd received after one week of the announcement. The boys and girls were pretty even (thankfully). "Girls... let's get this done."

Drew and her girl crew sifted through stacks of answers and made pairings, and once they finally finished, they felt accomplished. "Nice work ladies, Kaitlyn, you write up the list and we'll announce it tomorrow." She nodded, and everyone went off to their respective dorms. Kaitlyn stayed behind and wrote down names... but not all of them by who they were originally next to. She tampered with them, and let's just say some of her choices were out of the ordinary... We'll see where this goes.


The next morning, everyone who'd turned in a slip gathered in the field, whispering predictions, and people were actually getting excited. Not many groans today. Everyone got quiet when Drew stood up with a very official looking piece of parchment. "Thank you dears for coming, before I get to this list here, I'm going to go over some of the rules and info in this game of ours. First, you and your partner can drop out at any time, but obviously you are not eligible to win the prize, which, I'll give you your first clue about it: it's technically prizes, but these things will strengthen your relationship, and have monetary value. Second, you must stay together. As in, you can't stay in separate rooms, or tents, or wherever you choose to live. We have places designed for this event, planned by Annabeth Chase.

"Thirdly, there are challenges three times a week, for which you will earn points. Scores are updated weekly so you can see standings, but the couple with the most points won't necessarily win the competition just putting that out there. You are still expected to fulfill most of your training, but you will be exempted from some activities for your participation in this camp-approved event. Fourth, no changing partners allowed, and finally fifth, if you have any questions or complaints just let me, Kaitlyn, Madeline, Ellie, Sascha, or our male representative Ryan, know. Now, to the list!"

In the crowd, people were getting anxious. Especially Percy Jackson. He knew he belonged with Annabeth, but he was just getting this odd feeling that that's who he wasn't going to get paired up with for this thing. It would be simple... If they weren't paired up they both wouldn't participate, right? It's not gonna matter. He was curious on what prizes they had in store though... Even if they were dumb little toys or something. Ellie began to read out names. They were irrelevant to Percy, but he recognized a few. "Travis S. and Katie G.! Jason G. and Piper M.! Annabeth C. and Octavian!"

"Octavian?" Percy nearly shouted. He was a little bit taken aback. He was sort of expecting it, but it was unreal. He decided to shake it off. Competition-schmopetition. Whoever he was paired with he'd throw it out the window... unless guilt would build on him for ruining a relationship with his "soulmate" when he thought he already had one. Jason and Piper were together and were paired up...

More names were called out. "Jessie L. and Gavin H.! Leo V. and Hazel L.! Percy Jackson and Reyna!"

Percy heard plenty of 'oooooooohs' from the crowd. Really? Not the time, people.

"Frank Z. and Madeline! Victoria and Wesley! Anna T. and Ryan N.!"

Percy went to the front of the crowd to meet Reyna, like all the other couples. He gave her a small smile, but she didn't look too pleased. Percy made eye contact with Annabeth, and she seemed fine, Percy knew that she spent time planning for this thing, and that she wanted to participate even if it wasn't with him... Which he was wary about. Ellie finished reading out the list, and Drew said, "Let the games begin! The first task for you and your perfect match is to get to know each other, and choose where you'd like to reside for the game. We have luxurious tents, rooms in buildings, and treehouses. Your guys' decision, have fun and listen for announcements tomorrow!"
