Shit! Couldn't dreams leave him alone! The damn dreams every night woke him, that was the worst fucking part of being a demigod, you had all the horrible dreams keeping you up late at night. Thankfully though, this was just a nap in the middle of the day. Lars just needed some time to catch up on some sleep, but the damn dreams wouldn't allow it. After a few more tries to sleep, he finally gave up and got out of the bunk, grabbing his M16 and slinging it behind his back where he could reach it quickly and shouldered his pack with water and ammunition.

He then checked to make sure the handgun was still there and walked out of the cabin, no doubt getting stares from behind, most kids didn't like the fact that he kept guns in the cabin, will, he understood that, but it was his kind of sword. Lars had left his real sword on his bed, he wouldn't need it, at least he thought so. Lars had his normal aviators glasses on with his New York Mets cap on and wearing his aviators jacket and jeans. Now where to? He had no idea, so he started walking in the direction of the woods, the most probable place for a person with guns to go. He was muttering some hateful stuff about dreams when he nearly ran into a tree.

Lars, startled, looked up, and sure thing, he was at the outskirts of the woods. Why not go into the woods now? He was already there? Maybe he could rest in there or talk to people. He secretly hoped Andreana was in there, but she probably wasn't. The daughter of Terpsichore wasn't much of a fighting person, he wasn't in the mood for fighting though. Of course there were always interesting people about that area. So Lars started his hike through the woods, following well worn trails by previous demigods from Capture the Flag and such.

Lars didn't give a shit about taking his guns out, for one, he was too lazy, and two, he didn't think he would need it. He finally found a good rock he could rest against, so he slumped down next to it, with his back against the rock, while he was facing outward with the M16 in his lap because having it on his back would have been uncomfortable. He finally found some rest, and immediately went into another dream.

Lars couldn't get away from this could he? He was in the air, trying to avoid some sort of flying demon chasing him while he flew the Piper Arrow III. Of course, ATC wouldn't understand the fact something like that was chasing him, so he was swerving in and out, trying to hold altitude. He had to find a field soon, that was when he felt his left wing shudder and he looked out, the engine was on fire. Lars turned it off and turned on the fire depressant systems, and flew with one engine, which wasn't that hard with practice. However, soon that engine was out too, so he had a huge glider now, with part of the wing missing on the left. He spiraled to the ground having lost control to his ailerons and rudder.

He woke with a start to see someone walking his way, damn fucking dreams, always the same thing. He was mainly mad because he thought he would be better than that in reality, but still, that was a very tiny portion of why he hated them, it was a nightmare for Zeus sake! Lars quickly wiped off his sweat and pushed the M16 behind him while standing up and shouldering his pack. "Hey!" he called out. "Who is it?" Lars held his hands up to show he wasn't going to attack with his guns. "This is Lars, I'm friendly, not a monster." he called out grinning.

Andreana's new cabin was quite, it was everything she'd practically dreamed, but yet she couldn't sleep a wink. Something was keeping her up, no, someone was keeping her up. Never before had Andreana felt like this. Even back home if she felt the slightest amount of a “more than friends” feeling she tell herself it was just hormones and be done with it, that feeling would go away, but not this time. Andreana turned to the small night stand next to the bunk bed and looked at the clock. ’10:00’ it read. “Oh shoot.” Andreana said realizing she had missed breakfast. Groaning she went to the bathroom to check her appearance. Her hair was a mess that was to be expected, but there seemed to be dark circles starting to appear under her eyes. She frowned, she didn’t have any make up and the Aphrodite cabin… just intimidated her a little bit. Since there was nothing she could do Andreana got ready as if it were any normal day. Blue jean shorts, a white tank top with a floral patterned shirt over the tanktop, she parted her hair to the right (like always), slipped her mother’s gift in her pocket and headed towards the Art’s ant crafts building.

Andreana sat hunched over her painting. It was of a water lily with lily pads in the water. It wasn’t the best drawing in the world but it was decent for someone who rarely used paints. She had finished the pond and all the lily pads and had decided to save the actual flower for later. Andreana brought her painting to a drying rack and her pallet and paint brushes to the sink. She sat there humming to ‘O Yannis Mas’ the song she had learned from her Greek dance group. Looking up at a clock the time had read ‘1:00’. The paintbrush she was currently cleaning dropped from her hands and fell into the sink. She had spent 4 hours painting. Four hours?! Andreana was missing her training, not that she really cared but if the teacher today was an Ares kid… She didn’t even want to think about it.

“Can you finish up cleaning the brushes? Thanks!” Andreana asked, running into another random camper before bolting out the door.

By the time Andreana had picked up her practice bow and made it to the archery range people seemed to already be leaving. “No!” she wailed in despair. Andreana sighed. She knew she needed to practice, she was far from great, let alone good. If it had been any other day Andreana would’ve just shrugged it off and went to the Amphitheater or even to another class but today was just not Andreana’s day. Even if she didn’t want to train all the much she headed off to the woods. There she could at least clear her mind whether she actually used the bow or not.

The woods brought back the memory from when she had first gotten to camp, a bitter sweet memory of course. At least Sophie was still here, a good friend at that. Unfortunately Karen had died, in quite a gruesome way too apparently. It almost broke her heart to see someone die as soon as she got here. She had even felt guilty when she had first heard the news, but it wasn’t her fault. Feeling rather nervous Andreana pulled out her gold coin and started flipping it through her hand. Not before long Andreana found someone sleeping; and it wasn’t just anyone. It was Lars. She had met him at the sound with Sophie. That was where she had gotten claimed. She smiled a bit at the memory before sliding the coin into her pocket again. Her smile slowly faded as he seemed to be sweating a little bit. She was about to wake him but he woke up himself. Before he could spot her she hid behind a nearby tree.

"Hey!" he called out. "Who is it?" Lars asked. Andreana closed her eyes a prayed for a moment he hadn't come and found her behind the tree. "This is Lars, I'm friendly, not a monster." he called out grinning. Andreana walked out from behind the tree as if she had came from the side.

"H-hey Lars." Andreana said almost shyly, heat rushing to her cheeks. What the hell was wrong with her? She didn't act like this at the sound so why was she acting all awkward all of a sudden. Clearing her throat Andreana decided it was best to try and make some conversation.

"So what brings you to the woods? I missed archery class so I decided to come here," Andreana gestured to the bow in her hands. Realising she had spoken rather quickly Andreana then bit her lip with annoyence. He probably couldn't even understand her! She was balbbering like an idiot!

"Sorry, not much sleep..." she murmered trying to cover up what had just happened. Andreana all of a suden became interested in the forest floor and stared at the ground. He was going to think she was stupid or something, she hadn't acted that maturly at the sound either, and for some reason she was being insanely insacure. She tried to will her stomach to stop doing flip-flops. This was bad and whatever this was Andreana needed to get rid of it. If she had a problem with Lars she'd tell him sooner or later... right?

It was Andreana, he felt blood rush to his face, but he forced it down just as fast. She said hey, though it sounded shy and she stammered. That was strange. "Oh, hey Andreana." he said smiling, being polite, and not trying to make her uncomfortable or anything like that. They were just friends, right? Though she was acting really strange, yeah, he had dealt with girls before, so he was used to know what they acted like if they like you.

Andreana was acting like that, though she was different, calmer almost. "So what brings you to the woods? I missed archery class so I decided to come here," she said rather fast, "Hey, slow down, but I came out here to sleep, its hard enough in the Hermes Cabin, I thought maybe out here it would be better, not really." Maybe they could go do something with their range weapons, though if they met a monster, his M16 would kill it rather quickly.

She said she didn't have much sleep, he hadn't either, mainly because of the dreams, without them, he could sleep for ages. The one time he didn't remember his dreams, probably a night mare, was when he first met Andreana, he smiled on the inside at the thought of that. Andreana seemed super insecure and stared at the forest floor. "What are you looking at? The floor must be interesting," he said jokingly, laughing a little.

"So," he said awkwardly, "how good are you at the bow?" Lars then stood up to his full height, pushing the M16 behind his back and shouldering the backpack. His head scraped the bottom of a tree. Lars ducked down and readjusted his New York Mets hat, this was one of those I hate my height moments. Lars wanted to blurt out something about how good she looked or something like that, but he couldn't force himself too. If Andreana liked him, she would have to make the first move. She certainly seemed like she liked him, but he ignored it, he wouldn't let that change how he saw her. "Do you want to do something while we are here or what?" he asked, sounding more confident than before.

Andreana stuttered out her awkward hello before Lars replied with a simple hey and a polite smile. Andreana went on to ask and comment about how they had gotten to the woods.

"Hey, slow down, but I came out here to sleep, its hard enough in the Hermes Cabin, I thought maybe out here it would be better, not really."

Andreana nodded. The Hermes cabin was loud, not the best place for resting. Andreana apologized about not having much sleep either and stared down at the floor. Lars commented about her staring at the ground before finishing the joke with a laugh. Andreana laughed nervously as well to at least let him know she was alright.

"So," he began kinda awkwardly. "how good are you at the bow?" Lars stood up, pushing his gun behind his back and slinging his backpack over his shoulder.

"Uh, decent. Not the greatest." She said with a small smile. Her aim was definatly getting better but at times she'd just forget everything, how much power to put into a shot, to take wind into consideratio. Simple things like that.

They both stood around for a second before Lars finally spoke up.

"Do you want to do something while we are here or what?" he asked, sounding confident.

Andreana shrugged. She had come here originally to train, she didn't expect to run into Lars, let alone let her feelings get the best of her.

"Maybe we could go furhter into the forest to train or something?" Andreana suggested not really sure what to say. Well Andreana had an idea, but it involved telling him that she may have feelings for him and running away and hiding in the Muse cabin. There was a couple problems with that plan, one, how would she even tell him? 'Oh hey Lars I forgot to say, I may/may not have real feelings for you so see you round k'?' that was definatly out of the question and two, she barely even knew him! Yeah sure they had talked at the sound, he was part Canadian, flew planes, was unclaimed, and had an adopted family. Still, that wasn't much to go on.

Andreana had started walking before she turned around to Lars. Maybe she could..?

"Hey Lars..." She started. She took another look at him before her gut told her to stop. "Never mind." She said quickly. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid!' she thought to herself. Andreana's cheeks glowed with embarrassment but luckily he couldn't see her face at the moment. Why in the world did she even try? She had already told herself it was too soon to even think like that. Besides Andreana wasn't even sure if she liked liked him anyways. Who even likes a guy by just meeting him once. Andreana was sure feelings developed over time but then why was she being so awkward around him?

Even if Andreana did have feelings for him it wasn't an excuse for her to start acting all weird. She was probably making him feel uncomfortable anyways. Maybe she should just leave...

Andreana closed her eyes for a second. Too many conflicting emotions, she needed to straiten herself out. If Lars did like her a little bit he probably wouldn't like a 13 year old that couldn't control herself. This whole thing was driving her crazy, something needed to happen and quick but somethings needed time and this seemed to be one of those things...

Lars hated to Hermes Cabin, could there seriously be a louder place to sleep? Well, of course if you wanted to sleep on the field during the Super Bowl, that was louder or sporting events, but hey, this was a cabin, not a fucking stadium that houses 100,000 people at the most. Lars didn't feel comfortable telling her he had a nightmare, though he wanted to tell someone, he wanted to punch a tree or something, but didn't, that would one, look odd, and two, wouldn't go across well in the mind of Andreana. She laughed, though it sounded nervous, it was one of those I'm okay laughs, he let it slide this time.

"Maybe we could go furhter into the forest to train or something?" she said, and he nodded, what he was thinking. "Sure, sounds good." he said, then dug around in his pack for ear plugs and he tossed them to her, they lessened the noise, but you could still hear. "Wear these in case I shoot, I don't want you to go deaf. My gun is my protection today, I left my sword in the cabin." There it was, his safety instinct, caring about the safety of others, no matter who they were. Of course, when it came to guns and flying, you had to be extra safe.

Lars shouldered his pack and brought his M16 up front again, making sure a clip was loaded, but the safety was on. He walked next to Andreana, like, right next to her. Once he accidently brushed her, though it was very light, he let it slide. If he was interested in her, it sure was strange, she was what? 13, he was 16.

"Hey Lars..." she said as they walked, then stopping, then starting again, "never mind." Lars had to admit, his heart skipped a bit, but she said nothing, though he said looking at her through his aviators glasses, "Don't worry, I won't say anything mean, just go on Andreana." He really wanted to know what she was going to say just like everyone when someone said your name then said never mind, you immediately wanted them to continue, probably just the curiousity of being a human, well, half-human, half-god.

She closed her eyes for a second as if reflecting on something and was about to run into a tree so he instinctively grabbed her shoulder, "Hey now, don't go running into trees." he said stopping her, then taking his hand off of her shoulder. That was extremely awkward, and he could have sworn he was turning red, though that would have been hard to see due to his hat casting a shadow on his face.

Okay, so on the topic of Andreana, she was 13, maybe a little young for Lars, but she was pretty. Andreana was a daughter of Terpsichore, and he had to be jealous of her, she had been claimed almost immediately. She was a lot smaller than him though, standing at about 5'2 or so, he was 6'5, there was a huge difference there. They had stopped after he stopped her from the tree, and he caught himself staring at her, and she probably caught him, even with the aviator glasses. If it was up to him, and if she liked him, he would want to move this fast, but of course, he wasn't going to ask this time, that was up to Andreana, and he hoped she thought the same, he wanted to get a move on it, not take 3 months to figure out her feelings before finally asking him. Lars liked to get things started quickly, his philosophy was do things quicker cause you don't know if you'll get the chance to ever do it again. That especially applied to him being a pilot, though statistics show that cars and buses are way safer than planes, which was hard to believe.

Realizing they were just standing there, he asked, "Do we want to continue moving or not?" Without waiting for an answer he started again, noticing Andreana catching up to him. Again, they barely brushed, but he didn't flinch. Girls were hard to understand, she would take her time to figure out her feelings if she had any for him, and he was experienced enough with girls, he didn't flinch at slight, accidental touches. He noticed she hadn't answered from her never mind, so he asked, "So, what did that nevermind mean? What were you going to say, I know you didn't forget, you looked kinda awkward when you said it. You were about to say something you didn't want to at the moment weren't you." If she had feelings for him, that was her attempting to tell him, but failing, of course, he didn't know, he wasn't inside of her head, he didn't know what she thought, that was just his guess.

Andreana brought up the idea of going further into the woods which Lars agreed to. Before any of them left the place they were currently standing at Lars dug around his pocket and pulled out ear plugs and tossed them to Andreana. "Wear these in case I shoot, I don't want you to go deaf. My gun is my protection today, I left my sword in the cabin." He told her. Andreana nodded and placed the ear plugs in her ears. Even before at the sound he had told Andreana and Sohpie to cover their ears... Always looking out for people.

Andreana started walking and Lars was right next to her. At one point they both brushed and Andreana almost flinched, at first unsure of what had touched her but then realized it was just Lars and calmed down a bit. Only her heart was beating like crazy.

Andreana stopped for a moment as if to say something. Before she could finish she chickened out. "Don't worry, I won't say anything mean, just go on Andreana." Lars said letting her know it would be alright, but Andreana didn't want to tell him. Not quite yet. She needed to get her head on straight. To Andreana looks only counted as 10% (which he defintaly had), the rest was personality and as of right now she really wasn't sure why she liked him. All she knew was that she liked him.

Andreana closed her eyes for a second as if to really think about why. Before her thoughts could really take off Lars grabbed her shoulder. She opened her eyes to see she was about to run into a tree. "Hey now, don't go running into trees." He told her awkwardly taking his hand off her shoulder. Andreana laughed a bit as if to laugh at the joke, not at him, never at him. They both kinda stopped and Andreana took this as a perfect oportunity to really think, because now, she wouldn't run into a tree.

Lars was tall, 16, and good looking. She was almost surprised he hadn't found someone that liked him. He was still unclaimed while Andreana had just found out her parent. There just seemed to be many differences, or at least she thought so. But odly she was still drawn to him. It was a weird feeling that Andreana shook her head at. She looked up to face Lars who seemed to be almost looking at her as well. She turned her head down for a moment.

"Do we want to continue moving or not?" Lars asked.

"Oh yeah, sure." She said quickly as well, trailing behind Lars before she finally caught up with him, brushing a little again. Andreana took a step to the side as if to avoid a root or something. This walk was just getting to awkward.

"So, what did that nevermind mean? What were you going to say, I know you didn't forget, you looked kinda awkward when you said it. You were about to say something you didn't want to at the moment weren't you." Lars guessed. Andreana sighed, he had said earlier she could tell him and obviously that 'never mind' was bothering him. It was bothering her too. Basically it was now or never.

"... Well what I was going to say," Andreana started out slowly before closing her eyes. Her nerves felt on end. Why did she have to try and tell him earlier? "Is I think I have feelings for you but," She paused again. But what? 'but I'm scared to tell you because I'm afraid you'll reject me?' Andreana shook her head. She couldn't say that and she didn't really have anything else to finish with "Maybe I should just go..." She finally finished. Andreana could understand if Lars didn't like her. She was loud, acted like a child, was younger, had a whole cultural background he'd have to deal with, Andreana couldn't understand why he liked her. Or if he did like her. The chances of that seemed slim to none.

In Andreana's mind the thought of rejection still lingered. She knew it shouldn't be a problem, she was the one acting weird. But even so she almost didn't want to hear no. The answer shouldn't matter, it was the fact Andreana had told him, right? And even if he didn't share her feelings she wouldn't have to deal with it again.

The little walk they were having was turning out awkward. Okay, so Lars had hopes for the two of them, he had to admit that, but just this walk was so awkward, first he had to stop her from running into a tree, though that would have been kinda funny. Then the talking just got strange, they both were acting awkward. Lars had an idea why, but he didn't want to think of that, and he knew the walk would just get more awkward more than likely.

When the two of them brushed again she stepped aside, as if there was something in her way, which he looked, there wasn't, so she was trying to avoid something. The nevermind was bothering him, and he could tell it was the same with her, and she looked awkward too, maybe it was him, he didn't know, she was hard to understand at the moment. Then she said what the nevermind meant, "... Well what I was going to say, is I think I have feelings for you but." She paused for a moment, thinking, and Lars was processing what she said, so she did have feelings, and she just confessed them, meaning she basically asked him out, she was brave at that alright, it took guts to do that, he liked that about her, she continued, "Maybe I should just go..."

Lars thought for a second, what did she have? She was loud, was acting strange (though he knew why now), and was younger. Of course, age didn't matter and he knew why she was acting strange, and if she was loud, that meant she liked to talk, which was nice, having no problems with conversations, he responded, "Andreana, wait." He paused for a moment, then took a breath and continued, "I think I have feelings for you too, I like you a lot, I mean, your nice and all." He grabbed her hand just to show that.

Lars looked into her eyes and somehow knew he made the right choice, at least for the moment. Of course, by feelings she could have met hatred, if that was the way she meant it, the conversation was more awkward than before, making him want to kill himself, but he knew she meant the opposite, by liking him, that was just by the way she was acting. He let go of her hand, "I'll give you a second to comprehend that if you need to."

Lars was slightly confused, did he just get a girlfriend or what? That wasn't typical of asking someone out, but there were new things in store for life, but confessing your feelings for another was just as good of asking someone out as any other way. The main way kids normally did it was just say, hey, you want to go out? Then the other person would respond, of course they said other things and such, but he was sure this way wasn't new, just something he had never seen before. Lars looked at her and talked with a Canadian accent, "So you like me eh? I think I can deal with that." He laughed, but a nomral laugh, things weren't awkward really anymore.

They stood there rather awkardly for awhile, thinking, looking, before Lars suggested they move on. He started up ahead with Andreana trailing behind for a moment. Andreana brushed up against him then took a side step as if something was in her way. They walked for a little longer before Lars asked waht her never mind had meant earlier. Andreana confessed she had feelings for him before her doubts started getting in.

"Maybe I should just go..." Andreana said looking back to where thay had come from.

"Andreana, wait." Lars stopped her. She turned her head around. He wouldn't have stopped her if her wasn't going to say something. Her heart thumped in anticipation as to what he would say. There was always an option that he thought she was weird and it wouldn't work out but she didn't really want to think like that... "I think I have feelings for you too, I like you a lot, I mean, your nice and all." He said grabbing her hand.

Andreana's grew wide with shock. She was almost confused, h-he liked her? Her? It was an almost surreal moment, too good to be true.

"I'll give you a second to comprehend that if you need to." He said pulling away.

Oh boy, did she need time to comprehend that. She had told him her feelings... kinda, and he had returned them. A small smile crept on her face. Those words he said to her kept replaying in her head. The knot that was in her stomach, vanished. She wanted to leap for joy, literally. So much good seemed to have happened to her in the few weeks she arrived. How could she get any happier now?

"So you like me eh? I think I can deal with that." Lars had said in a Canadian accent then laughed, no longer an awkward laugh. Andreana smiled and gave a small laugh herself.

"Υποθέτω." It was a playful response but you could tell from her tone it did have a level of care in it. It was her first time in a relationship, first time even trying to flirt or whatever. But everything seemed so perfect. Nothing could really ruin the moment no matter what either of them said. Andreana just prayed she didn't sound like an idiot.

Andreana felt as if she should go over to him and hold his hand or something but it almost seemed too soon for Andreana. Either that or she might still have felt a little uncomfortable about doing anything too sudden.

"So, do you wanna go further into the forest or go somewhere else now?" Andreana asked walking up to him. She had come originally to train but she hadn't expected for a walk in the woods to end up like this. Training was gone in the back of Andreana's mind because right now, it seemed a little corny, she just wanted to get to know Lars a little better.

When the two of them brushed again she stepped aside, as if there was something in her way, which he looked, there wasn't, so she was trying to avoid something. The nevermind was bothering him, and he could tell it was the same with her, and she looked awkward too, maybe it was him, he didn't know, she was hard to understand at the moment. Then she said what the nevermind meant, "... Well what I was going to say, is I think I have feelings for you but." She paused for a moment, thinking, and Lars was processing what she said, so she did have feelings, and she just confessed them, meaning she basically asked him out, she was brave at that alright, it took guts to do that, he liked that about her, she continued, "Maybe I should just go..."

Lars thought for a second, what did she have? She was loud, was acting strange (though he knew why now), and was younger. Of course, age didn't matter and he knew why she was acting strange, and if she was loud, that meant she liked to talk, which was nice, having no problems with conversations, he responded, "Andreana, wait." He paused for a moment, then took a breath and continued, "I think I have feelings for you too, I like you a lot, I mean, your nice and all." He grabbed her hand just to show that. Her eyes grew wide with shock, she must have not thought he would say that, but hey, he was all about surprises. She smiled at his joke then said, "I guess," in greek. At least he could understand her, thanks to having his mind hardwired for Ancient Greek. Her tone was playful, but also had care in it.

Lars had to admit, it felt great to have someone back in his life that cared for him, someone to fill the gap where his family usually was in his heart. "So, do you wanna go further into the forest or go somewhere else now?" She looked like she wanted to do something with him and Lars was more than ready to become serious. He grabbed her hand, even when she looked like she didn't known what to do. "We can just sit here at this rock." Lars said, he didn't want to go training, he wanted to learn more about her, and he felt that she felt the same way. So Lars guided his girlfriend to the rock and sat down with his back against it, noticing Andreana do the same. They were touching, and he knew that, but this time he didn't shy away, he let it happen. "So I already know you are Greek, a daughter of Terpsichore, you already know I'm from New York, fly planes, live in an adopted family and unclaimed, what else would you like to know? I know I would like to know more about you. So I guess tell more than I know, but if you don't want to, we can go somewhere else and do something else." Lars said, trying to get a conversation going between the 2 of them.

Andreana asked Lars whether or not they wanted to stay here. He answer by grabbing her hand, which Andreana didn't pull away from, and suggested they sat down at the rock. Andreana smiled as he lead them both over and they sat down backs against the rock. The couple was touching still but that didn't matter now. It wasn't awkward any longer.

"So I already know you are Greek, a daughter of Terpsichore, you already know I'm from New York, fly planes, live in an adopted family and unclaimed, what else would you like to know? I know I would like to know more about you. So I guess tell more than I know, but if you don't want to, we can go somewhere else and do something else."

It was like he read her mind. But how Lars put it just seemed so simple. There wasn't much to her anyways.... What more was there to tell? She was obviously a dancer, her parent was obvious to the both of them, and she was Greek. Andreana always liked to think she had to lives, one for at school and another around her Greek home. All of a sudden she felt rather nervous. What would Lars think of that part of her? It was so different from what Americans are used to, Andreana was afraid she'd scare him off, but he liked her for her right? But Andreana did feel like she had anything to say. Maybe it was better to ask about Lars...

"Might be kind of lame but... What's your favorite color? Food? Hobby? Type of music?" So now they were playing the favorite game thanks to Andreana. That seemed like the best way to go. Know the small facts before they got into the details.

They sat down next to each other and it didn't matter that the two of them were touching now, it wasn't awkward, it was perfect, you could say. It wasn't awkward, like it was earlier, but now they were comfortable you could say and Lars finally understood why she was acting so awkward around him, it was his suspicion, but Ana confessing her feelings made him happy and confirmed the suspicion. Lars was really glad it worked out that way, that the both of them had become a couple.

For some reason Lars had the urge to fly at the moment, he could take Andreana up later, it wouldn't be too awkward. He didn't know why, but that seemed like a great idea, but he let it go, he needed to be focused on Andreana only at the moment, not what he wanted to do later that day which was fly his plane around New York City. However, he still found himself visualizing take-off and landing. Lars quickly snapped out of it and listened to what his new girlfriend had to say and ask. He listened intently.

"Might be kind of lame but... What's your favorite color? Food? Hobby? Type of music?" she asked. Lars thought about those questions for a moment before looking at her and saying, "It's not lame, my favorite color I guess is dark blue, my favorite food is steak or bacon I guess, I don't think about that too much. For a hobby, I think you already know for that, its flying. Finally, I like rock music like Daughtry or 3 Doors Down, etc. So, what about you?" Lars asked, putting an arm around her.

"If you don't want to sit here and talk, we can go farther into the woods and train together or go do something else. It is whatever you want to do, I'm up for anything." Lars said, asking her if she wanted to go do something else, talking seemed fine with the both of them, but just in case, he asked, Lars was up to do anything she wanted to do. It was Andreana's choice, not his, he was fine with doing whatever his girlfriend wanted. So if she wanted to sit here and talk, he was fine with that, if she wanted to go train, he was fine with that. If she wanted to go dance, he was fine with that, no matter what it was, even if it was awkward or something he didn't do, like dance. Well, you get the point, he was up for anything at the moment, as long as he got to spend time with Andreana.

"It's not lame, my favorite color I guess is dark blue, my favorite food is steak or bacon I guess, I don't think about that too much. For a hobby, I think you already know for that, its flying. Finally, I like rock music like Daughtry or 3 Doors Down, etc. So, what about you?" he asked putting an arm around Andreana. She moved closer into him before replying.

"Red is my favorite color, choice of food is pancakes but bacon is always good to," Andreana felt a little subconscious about her favorite food. Usually girls seemed to like salads or whatever but Andreana had a major sweet tooth. Though, that wasn't the only reason why she enjoyed breakfast foods, she just liked when her dad would make them breakfast. "Hobby wise I dance and draw and my favorite types of music are classical, dubstep, and anything by Owl City or even closely related." So yeah there were a couple differences but a pair isn't really supposed to be the same. Compatibility gives a couple depth.

"If you don't want to sit here and talk, we can go farther into the woods and train together or go do something else. It is whatever you want to do, I'm up for anything." Andreana probably would've said the same thing to him. She didn't really care what they did either but at the moment she was stumped for questions. It would've been nice to just sit together but even so there would just seem to be awkward pauses since neither of them seemed to know what to say.

Maybe it was time to train. That's what Andreana had come to do in the first place. Plus it would give her a chance to see how they fought together. Even if Lars could handle fighting a monster himself it would be nice to know that they had each others backs. 

"Maybe we should go train," She started trying to reach for the borrowed bow but not wanting to really get up from her position. "But then you'd see how lousy a shot I am." she giggled in a playful matter. Andreana wasn't necessarily joking about her bad aim. She had really only started using a bow and wasn't have bad but she was far from being an expert. Besides even though she'd go through the forest with bow and arrows today Andreana felt as though she wanted a different weapon...

"Do you want to go deeper into the woods?" she asked Lars just barely sitting up again. Andreana knew that they weren't that deep in the woods but she was surprised they hadn't been attacked by monsters yet. Andreana was only a daughter of Terpsichore so that meant she didn't set off a lot of monsters seeing as the muses were at the lowest of minor gods and goddesses. Even though, they both didn't know who Lars's parent was. Maybe it was nothing and Andreana was looking at the big picture too hard.

Andreana moved closer to him before replying then said, "Red is my favorite color, choice of food is pancakes but bacon is always good to." Okay, so breakfast food? Some people were like that, but everyone had to love bacon, "At least you like bacon, everyone has to love bacon otherwise you aren't American." Lars said, half jokingly, actually, more than half, the other serious. "Hobby wise I dance and draw and my favorite types of music are classical, dubstep, and anything by Owl City or even closely related."

So there were difference, every relationship had that. She liked breakfast foods, he liked steak, she listened to Owl City, he listened to rock, she danced, he flew. They weren't huge or anything, just differences in what they liked, etc. No doubt though, they would get along, at least for now. Lars actually liked it, it gave him the chance to try new things, of course, he wasn't much of a dancer, but he would dance if she asked, and he would go to her shows if she asked. Lars was positive she would do the same for him with flying, like she would come with him on flights or watch him at air shows if he ever did them, etc.

"Maybe we should go train," she said, agreeing with him, "But then you'd see how lousy a shot I am."she giggled playfully, reaching for her bow, but seeming too lazy to get up. So Lars got up and turned around and picked her up and set her on her feet. "You are light, you that?" he said playfully before tossing her earbuds, "Just in case I shoot, but I'll use my sword so we can see how decent of a pair we are."

"Do you want to go deeper into the woods?" she asked him, he just nodded his response as yes and checked to make sure she had her ear buds in, he never wore them because he didn't pay attention to sound and he was fine, but he wasn't sure Ana would be the same when his M16 went off, most couldn't stand the noise of an automatic gun going off next to their ears, Lars had just gotten used to it.

He was surprised they hadn't seen a monster yet, but that could mean anything, she was a daughter of a muse, his parent was unknown, maybe no monster was in the vicinity. Lars started walking, noticing she was following and unsheathed his sword. They were walking for about 20 minutes, and they hadn't said a word, he was trying to listen for monsters. After a few more steps, he heard something and a giant thorn flew through the air. Instinctively, he jumped in front of Andreana and deflected it off of the blade of his sword. Apparently he was still good with that, well, decent at least.

Not but 10 seconds later a manticore appeared, flinging 2 more thorns their way, and he deflected them both before realizing he was holding Andreana's hand behind his back, "If you can distract it, I'll go in from behind," he told her silently so only they could hear it before running off to the left and into the bushes. Lars noticed the manticore out of the corner of his eyes when he turned to get in position from behind, it was paying attention to Andreana, who was still alive, thank the gods.

She seemed to be distracting it, he couldn't tell, then finally got into position, right behind the manticore, and he awaited Andreana to look at him, signalling her to jump out of the way, though they hadn't talked about this, he had a feeling she would understand. He sheathed his sword and pulled out his M16, loaded a clip in it, and laid on the ground, and aimed.

Now he awaited Ana to look at him and run towards him, if she knew what to do, and get to cover before he would shoot. She just had to avoid the monster, why he chose the back instead of the front, he might be able to deflect it or something, he didn't know, he just felt it would be safer, maybe it was because he planned to use his sword at first, but he decided to go to his gun, it would be safer and he didn't know how strong a manticore was so he didn't want to risk getting close with his sword. He made a silent plea to whomever his parent was that she would be safe before turning safety to off, then Lars decided he would let her shoot first before him shooting. He wanted to see how good she was, maybe he wouldn't have to use his gun yet if she killed it. He was right there ready to shoot it if she missed or failed at killing it with extra ammunition if it was needed. So Lars laid there, ready, waiting.

Andreana had started to state her favorites as well when she commented on her favorites foods.

"At least you like bacon, everyone has to love bacon otherwise you aren't American." Lars told her. She laughed before continuing.

Andreana had started to say that maybe they should go train but didn't really want to move. Seeing so Lars scooped her up and placed her on her feet. "You are light, you that?" he said playfully as she reached down to grab her bow. Seeing as she was ready Lars tossed her some earplugs and luckily she caught them. "Just in case I shoot, but I'll use my sword so we can see how decent of a pair we are." Andreana nodded. Just as she was thinking, at least they were on the same page.

"Do you want to go deeper into the woods?" she asked putting in the earplugs. Lars just nodded in response looking to see if she had put the earplugs in. Lars had started walking and Andreana followed, arrow notched on the bow string. They walked in silence but it wasn't like they needed to talk. They both had a task, or we're trying to find one. They had been walking for awhile now not coming across anything until a sound was heard. Andreana could barley register what happened and used her arms as a shield not knowing what was happening or what was going on, just that she didn't have any mean of defense. 

Peering up from her own makeshift shield she saw Lars in front of her holding his sword up. She was shocked, no, amazed, especially when she saw what he had deflected. A giant thorn sat on the ground next to them. Barley even 5 seconds later a huge, lion, bat, scorpion, thing appeared from out of the bushes and flung two more thorns at them which Lars deflected with his sword, all while holding Andreana's hand.

"If you can distract it, I'll go in from behind," he told her silently while running to the side. Her hand went back to the bow and arrow on it. The monster turned towards Lars for a split seconds if trying to decide which one of them was a bigger or threat or what exactly were they planning but Andreana had no plans to let it go after him.

"HEY!" she yelled kicking some leaves to make a little extra noise. Not that it was needed, Andreana had pretty big lungs to begin with. "Yeah you ya stupid lion thing!" she shouted again. Finally Andreana got it's attention it seemed pretty mad. To say the least her heart was going way faster then it needed to be going but she couldn't let the monster know that. Instead she put a snarl of anger on her face. Andreana readied the bow but knew shooting it wouldn't do much at this point. Even though it was combined with a bunch of different animals it was still a cat and seemed to be getting ready to pounce just as Andreana seemed like she was going to shoot. A faint click could be heard but Andreana just moved some leaves again to keep its attention focused on her.

Looking a little past the monster she could see Lars on the ground with his gun. He seemed to be telling her to do something but Andreana wasn't exactly sure. Guessing by the fact he was going to shoot it down it probably meant to get out of the way. Her first initial thought was to take off running but she had no clue about this thing's speed. There was no doubt she wouldn't be able to make it that far away, let alone, leave a good shot open for Lars. 

The whole forest seemed to be holding its breath. Both Andreana and the monster were in some sort of lock down mode as if waiting to see what the other would do. Time seemed to slow down as her arrow sailed through the air to hit the monster right on its muzzle but it wasn't lodged in a place when it would kill the thing. Even though she had landed a pretty lucky shot the monster still had enough time to toss Andreana to the side with a paw. Lucky for her, no claws, but the impact was enough to rattle her whole body. The monster gave a loud yowl but wasn't as loud as it probably should have been thanks to the earplugs. 

She was scared to move but probably needed to anyway. She wasn't sure if Lars had killed the monster yet. Andreana herself wasn't hurt, just a little shaken from the fall, but what really was running through her head was if Lars was alright. Quickly, she firmly grasped the bow back in her hand and instantly notched an arrow on the string as fast as she could, praying Lars was okay.

Instead of running like he thought she knew too, Andreana just stood there, everything seemed frozen then she shot. Andreana's arrow hit it in the muzzle, but it didn't lodge so it didn't kill it. The manticore then swatted her aside with its huge paw and he watched in horror as she hit the side of a tree with a thump! "Andreana!" he yelled instinctively, alerting the monster, which with swift speed turned and faced him. Shit, I just alerted the fucking thing that I was here. he thought jumping up and faced the thing.

As Lars stood up, it swiped at him with its claws and hit him on the side, opening up a decent sized gash on his side. Lars just winced and stood his ground, not showing the pain he was in, he knew it would need to be looked at, but he wasn't paying attention to it at all, in fact, he couldn't even feel any pain. Though one glance down at his shirt told him it was bad, his shirt was bloody across the side and front. That all happened in an instant though, and all he could think about was if Andreana was okay, it looked as if she was injured, he sure didn't hope so. So Lars unloaded on the monster, it took a half a clip, but it finally disentegrated before it could get off another shot at him.

Lars looked over to see Andreana have a bow pointed over before walking over to her and hugged her, even if he was bloody, he doubted she cared. "I'm glad your okay, I guess I shouldn't have shouted out for you eh? Look what it caused, just a small scratch." he told her, glancing at his wound which was anything but a scratch, though because of the adrenaline he couldn't feel a thing. Lars could have sworn he heard something else in the bushes while he was laying down, but he wasn't sure about it.

Lars pulled away from the hug before turning to the clearing they were in and walking to the center. He put the gun on his back, loading a new clip in and turning the safety on before unsheathing his sword. He HAD heard something, and it was a monster more than likely, another one too. He was going to take this one on with his sword, no gun unless he needed too. So Lars was prepared when a Sphinx jumped out of the bushes, "What the hell is it that cat like monsters attack us!" he exclaimed before rolling out of the way of the Sphinx's paw as if he had never been injured. Wait, wasn't she supposed to ask riddles not attack demigods unless they answered it wrong?

It didn't matter now, it leaped at him and he ducked, when he turned, he realized it was heading for Andreana. "NO!" he yelled racing after it, when he was almost to the the Sphinx he dove, knowing without diving, he wouldn't reach it in time, he had to kill it otherwise it would probably reach her. The blade came down on its spine, and with a howl it turned to him, now on the ground. Being a cat like thing, it tried to pounce on him, but he rolled out of the way and stood back up before racing next to Andreana and stood there, protecting her from the now injured sphinx. "If you can shoot it like you did that manticore, shoot it now." he said. He didn't see the outcome because he collapsed in pain that now showed up from his side, he leaned back against the tree and shut his eyes. When he opened his eyes, Andreana was kneeling there, next to him and looking at his wound and into his eyes. Lars just embraced her, "You're still alright, don't worry about me, I'll be fine." He managed to stand up, bringing her with him and just stood there hugging her, partly out of love you could say, partly for stabilization, he wasn't going to admit it, but he was going to need help walking back. Lars wasn't sure though if he was just imagining this or not, if he wasn't Andreana might be dead or no time had passed at all, it was probably real, but he didn't know.

Andreana wasn't hurt but its not everyday you get knocked over by a giant paw down to the floor. Her body seemed to be shaking but she could still move, still get up, and she was already up with an arrow ready. The monster was gone when she had finally come to her senses and Lars was walking over to her with a nasty gash on his side. 

"I'm glad your okay, I guess I shouldn't have shouted out for you eh? Look what it caused, just a small scratch." He said embracing her. Great, this was her fault wasn't it? If only she had put more power into the shot she have been able to stop the monster from moving. Now Lars was suffering wound in his side. 

"Are you okay? What was that thing?" Andreana asked him embracing him again, being careful not to touch the scar. She let go when he turned around to unsheath his sword. He had apparently heard something and when a huge monster, cat like thing came out of the bushes Andreana wasted no time readying her arrow. 

"What the hell is it that cat like monsters attack us!" Lars shouted to really no one in particular. The creature leaped and he ducked but now the monster was running for Andreana. No matter how prepared she was she couldn't help but quiver at the sight of it charging towards her. A couple more moments before it would hit...

"NO!" Lars yelled diving for the creature and hitting on its spine with his blade before running back to her. "If you can shoot it like you did that manticore, shoot it now."

Andreana nodded and kept her eyes trained on the monster again.

She shot it just like she had done with the first monster. This time like she had told herself, with more power. The arrow was lodged in his muzzle like the first but actually lodged in. An ear splitting howl came from the monster but thankfully Andreana had earplugs in. Andreana circled around trying to load up another arrow before the beast had time to figure out what she was doing. Trying to get the arrow on the string while running was more difficult then she expected. 'Not enough time...' a voice of doubt repeated itself in Andreana's mind. Would there be enough time to get another arrow lodged into the sphinx? Her loading skills where obviously not fully there. 

While lost in thought trying to make up her mind in a split second, Andreana didn't notice the monster coming after her. Just like the monster before, the cat like creature sprung at her, coming down with claws unsheathed, leaving a decent size gash on her leg. Unused to the large amount of pain shooting up her leg Andreana stumbled back a little bit  with tears blurring her vision up. Her first initial thought, 'How could Lars handle this? On his side no less?!' the idea of that happening and the realization that it had happened to Lars almost made her throw up. Now defiantly not having enough time to load another shot Andreana reached into her pocket and pulled out the gold coin. The thought of using the music notes side was tempting but it would hurt not only the monster, but herself as well. There was even a possibility of Lars getting even more hurt.

Andreana's hand closed around the coin lyre side down, instantly a golden lyre appeared in her hand. Spastically, Andreana started strumming random chords unsure of how to actually play the instrument. The monster in front of her seemed to be dancing sometimes in its cat like way and other times it seemed merely confused as if the lyre was only just barely effecting it. To the best of her ability Andreana made her way around to the side of the beast. The Sphinx still dancing couldn't follow Andreana all that well. Playing a couple last notes she quickly she threw down the coin and grabbed the bow that had been hung around her arm and loaded an arrow (in place) before the monster could fully register that the music had stopped. With no time to spare, Andreana sent the arrow flying into the monster's side, actually getting it deep enough for the monster to let out a howl before disappearing in a cloud of dust.

Not caring about her hurt leg Andreana basically ran back to where Lars had been resting, crying and shaking all over. What had happened? The thought of monsters attacking them seemed like something out of a book but here she was bleeding, in pain, and scared watching someone else bleed and stay there in pain. Kneeling next to him Andreana began to press some sort of cloth around his wound, whether it was his shirt or her own, she knew she had to stop some bleeding. No sooner then she had started Lars's eyes opened and locked with her's. Split seconds later Lars just embraced her and she embraced him back trying to stop sobbing for his sake.

"You're still alright, don't worry about me, I'll be fine." he said managing to stand up and picking Andreana up along with him, still hugging her in the process. Andreana's loud cries had gone a little quieter but she was shaking all over as she embraced him back.

"I-I thin-k w-we need t-to lea-v-e." she whispered between hiccups. Leading Lars to a tree to give him some support Andreana quickly walked around the battle ground recollecting her coin, bow, quiver, and a few scattered, and still in good condition arrows. Pain seemed to just want to shoot up through her leg every time she took a step but Andreana tried to ignore it the best she could. It would be better for the both of them if Andreana was sobbing about a little gash like a baby. 

Walking back over to Lars to help walk Andreana couldn't help but let a small smile spread across her lips between salty tears. It was rather funny how she had happened to come here. It all seemed almost by chance that Andreana had missed training and had run into her crush AND find out he liked her back. Maybe that scenario was perfect but Andreana had almost expected her love life to go a little more... Romantic when both parties feelings were confessed. Fighting two monsters was defiantly a twist.

"I-I thin-k w-we need t-to lea-v-e." Andreana said, and only then did Lars realize she was sobbing. Of course, he was thinking as well, and the sky is blue, can we state more obvious things? Of course, Lars didn't think she would like him joking around like that, at least at the moment, and either way, no matter what time, she might not like that comment. He was smiling on the inside foolishly at his joke, but on the outside, his face was plain, trying not to show the real pain that was in his side. So he just said plainly, "Yeah, I agree, lets go."

Then Lars noticed she wasn't wearing a shirt so he could see her bra and stuff, which he thought was very strange and had to admit, he was thinking, we are both to young, plus this relationship just started, of course, he doubted she would even try that, so he pushed it aside, then he realized it was on his wound, so he breathed a sigh of relief, with that thought still lingering, though it went away now, so he did the same with his shirt, taking it off and applying pressure to her leg.

"Hey, I'm fine, you're the one that we have to worry about, you might not be able to walk, I believe I can." Lars said to her. Then she smiled a small smile, and he couldn't help but ask, "why are you smiling?" It was, eh, a rather bad situation, they both had bad gashes, no matter what they thought, and here she was smiling? He wished he had that attitude, able to smile in a time like this, of course, had it been 30 minutes ago, he would be.

Leaning against the tree to bear his weight, he reached down and dusted off his New York Mets baseball cap and put it on and then stepped a few steps to test his weight, he seemed to hold up well so far, but who the hell knew how long that shit would last. So he put an arm around Andreana to help keep her steady, since he seemed to be able to do that on his own and walked back towards the camp. They got to the rock where she asked him out and he said, "this spot should be fine for now, we didn't meet any monsters here, and I can go get an Apollo kid or something to do First Aid for us." Lars sat down, leading Andreana to do this same, and he noticed her leaning against him, and he smiled smally.

"Of course, I don't have to go if you don't want me to, we can always just sit here and try to treat each other wounds and talk, but keep in mind, there is always the choice of the Apollo kids." Honestly, Lars wanted to stay there and talk and treat each other for the moment, the more time he spend with her, the better. He then took off his baseball cap and set it in front of them before wrapping an arm around Andreana, and bringing her closer to him.

"You know what Andreana?" he whispered, "I'm glad things went the way they did, that I met you and that you had the courage to ask me out, I know that takes a lot of bravery." He smiled before looking off into the forest, but listening for the sounds of nature, not monsers, he had a feeling they wouldn't be attacked here and that he could relax, and you could say his posture reflected that.

He sat there with his bare back against the rock with his gun on the ground and his right hand applying pressure with Andreana's t-shirt on his wound and his left arm around Andreana with his side pressed against hers, she was on his left, the wound was on his right. Not to mention her head was on his shoulder, he was completely relaxed and enjoying the moment. Then there was his hat on the ground in front of them and his glasses on his head with his body only having shorts on and Andreana likewise, except with undergarments, since the both of them were using each others shirts to stop the bleeding and apply pressure to the wounds. Of course, when they finally decided to go get expert treatment from Apollo's kids or Chiron, they would get real medical uquipment, but he liked what they were doing at the moment, even if it ruined that t-shirt, he still had plenty others, at least he hadn't worn his leather aviation jacket that day, that was expensive.

Lars then realized how strange of a couple they looked like, so there age was different. He was 17, she was 13, he was 6'5, she was 5'1. Huge difference in height there, and you could say that meant strength too. There hobbies were different, his was flying, hers was dancing, their parentage was different, but he didn't know whose his was yet. He respected her hobbies though and still loved her

((Sorry about the crap post, in a hurry, but yours was great! And sorry again for the slight god-mod of positions!))

"Yeah, I agree, lets go." Lars replied to Andreana's sobbing comment. Crossing her arms over her stomach Andreana felt a little awkward not wearing a shirt. She wasn't fat but not necessarily a girl with the most flat stomach in the word. At least there was a small definition of abs but nothing worth looking at. Other then that Andreana wasn't that scared of being topless. She still had a bra on-even if it was tan- but it was like wearing a tan bikini top. Plus she trusted Lars not to be weird about it. Turning to look at Lars she realized he had taken off his shirt as well. Stopping for a moment he wrapped his shirt around Andreana's leg. She gave him a smile of thanks not really knowing what else to say.

"Hey, I'm fine, you're the one that we have to worry about, you might not be able to walk, I believe I can." He said standing up. Andreana shook her head. "I'm fine." she said continuing to walk showing that she was fine. A small smile spread across her face once more when she thought of the events that had just taken place. "why are you smiling?" Andreana looked up at him and grinned a little more. "Nothing in particular... The whole ordeal just seemed a little funny..." She said giving them both a moment to reflect.

Walking back they passed by the rock where Andreana had first muttered her feelings to him. "This spot should be fine for now, we didn't meet any monsters here, and I can go get an Apollo kid or something to do First Aid for us." he said sitting down and she did as well, he wrapped his arm around her. Humming a bit she snuggled closer. "I think we can stay a bit longer."

"You know what Andreana?" Lars whispered, "I'm glad things went the way they did, that I met you and that you had the courage to ask me out, I know that takes a lot of bravery." Andreana closed her eyes for a moment. Brave. That seemed odd, she was quite the opposite at least in battle. Brave didn't really seem to suit her, maybe honest but at least Lars thought she was brave and she wouldn't argue. Lars smiled and Andreana smiled as well. Despite her mixed emotions about her own personality everything had turned out alright. 

"Hmm.." Andreana hummed thinking of something to say. "What else do you like to do for fun?" she asked simply. Andreana wouldn't mind flying with Lars but she couldn't fly herself. Maybe they both had something they both liked doing, at least something they could both do.

"I think we can stay a bit longer."Andreana continued walking to show that she was fine, so Lars smiled, that was such a relief to him, it's not that he didn't want to carry her, he just was relieved she could walk. He had already picked her up earlier, so he knew it wouldn't be to hard to carry her, but he was going to let her walk under her own power. He noticed she was smiling, so he asked why she was smiling, she responded with, "Nothing in particular... The whole ordeal just seemed a little funny..."She paused, so he used this moment to look back on what had happened.

So he had come out here looking for a quiet place to sleep and fell asleep on a rock. He was woken up by Andreana walking through, she hadn't noticed him until he moved a little bit. Then she noticed Lars about 30 ft after she passed him. They spoke a little bit, awkwardly, and then she asked him out, to which he said yes. They then sat down next to the rock and talked until he said they should go hunting. So they did, they ran into a manticore and another monster, they both got badly injured, and were now treating each other wounds.

"Well, if you count getting injured funny, that's strange, but everything else was strange you could say, but it is a little funny," Lars said smiling at his girlfriend. They then headed back to the rock where they had met and became a couple and sat down, he said he could go get an Apollo kid or something, she just said, "I think we can stay a bit longer." Lars smiled at this and put his arm around her, to which she snuggled closer to him, and he helped her get even closer by pushing on her side.

"What else do you like to do for fun?" she asked him, looking at himself. "Besides flying? I like to watch sports and hang out and talk. I guess I like to swim and things like that. I'm sure I'd be into video games if I ever was able to play one in New York, we didn't have them at my foster parents house." he responded. He then noticed how awkward it would be if someone walked right on through and saw the two of them sitting there. They were basically snuggling each other, both with their shirts off and on each others wounds, that would be a strange sight.

"How about you? What do you like to do besides dancing?" he asked her, easily feeling the pressure of her skin on his.
Lars sat there with his bare back against the rock and with his gun on the ground and his right hand applying pressure with Andreana's t-shirt on his wound. His left arm was around Andreana with his side pressed against hers, she was on his left, the wound was on his right. Not to mention her head was on his shoulder, he was completely relaxed and enjoying the moment. Then there was his hat on the ground in front of them and his glasses on his head with his body only having shorts on and Andreana likewise, except with undergarments, since the both of them were using each others shirts to stop the bleeding and apply pressure to the wounds. Of course, when they finally decided to go get expert treatment from Apollo's kids or Chiron, they would get real medical equipment, but he liked what they were doing at the moment, even if it ruined that t-shirt, he still had plenty others.

What was that song he had heard last year watching a basketball game on TV? It was 100 Years by Five for Fighting, it was a great song, you could say slow as well, he especially liked the piano. He hadn't listened to it in a while, but it was good, and it brought out a message, something that he just couldn't explain that well other then you've only got 100 years to live, so live each moment to your best ability (which he thought he was doing well with at the moment) and to respect all adults. They also made another one he had heard, which was Chances, that one was about getting a chance with someone, and he thought of that one because of Andreana, her bravery to ask him out and getting a chance with him. Both songs were awesome songs and had a great message that seemed to be playing out in his life. So he asked her, "Have you heard of the songs 100 Years or Chances by Five for Fighting? If not, you should, they are great." Lars then lightly kissed her before saying, "I think they wrote the songs for us, they seem to fit us perfectly. If you haven't heard them, when you do, you'll know what I mean, if you get the same message I do."

((You should listen to those songs too, Chances and 100 Years, also add in Superman, you've probably heard of some of them... Very Happy))
