"She got my heartbeat
Skipping down 16th Avenue
Got that, oh! I mean
Wanna see what's under that attitude
Like, I want you, bless my soul
And I ain't gotta tell her
I think she knows"

It had been a year since that night, and a lot had happened. Somehow a monster had broken through the barrier after some of the campers came back from a quest, which isn't supposed to be able to happen, but we digress, and Thalia being the daughter of Zeus tried to fight it off but it was stronger than expected. While she was on the brink of death Zeus, turned her into a tree, claiming it was the only way to save her. Which Claire and Clarisse still call bullshit to.
Claire had also gotten claimed, by her mother, Celeste, goddess of the cosmos which was a score in her opinion. Her mother also had given her a spell book not, too long after claiming her daughter, which is part of the reason Claire has such good control of her powers now.
Celeste was very present in Claire's life, compared to other gods.
Claire and Clarisse had made it official a few nights after they kissed, which they both had declared the best decision of their lives up until this point. And Clarisse had kept her promise, every day since that night she put in an effort to push herself out of her comfort zone and show Claire just how much she loved her. Taking her out on romantic dates, gift-giving all with the help of the Aphrodite Cabin, of course.
Claire had put in the effort too, of course. Upgrading her armor whenever she needed, using some of the spells from the spell book her mother had gifted up. But Claire was already pretty affectionate so that part wasn't much of a challenge for her.
Claire also had her very own cabin now, so when the Ares kids annoyed Clarisse too much, they had a place to be alone. But their favorite place to go was the field they had said was their official meeting place. Which is where the two girls were now, just enjoying each other's company.
Claire layed on Clairsse's chest looking up at the stars, happiness rushed through her feeling Clarisse play with her hair as she cuddled closer to her neck.
Clarisse sighed contently, happy she finally had a sense of stability in her life, something she never had before.

Claire stretched, groaning at the sun that pierced her eyes, looking around as she sat up, figuring it was time to get up.
Claire had gotten ready, pushing her cabin door open, immediately seeing Indigo coming up to her, an excited look on her face.
"Indigo, what's with the face? Did Clarisse try to kill someone again," She joked.
"No! It's even better!" she exclaimed her eyes going wide."There is a new kid, and Annabeth says he might be the one!".
Claire nodded, she had known about Annabeth's want to find a kid of the big three to complete her quest.
"Have you seen Clarisse anywhere, we are supposed to train together for Capture the Flag tomorrow."
"I see her right now," Indigo said nodding her head to behind Claire.
She turned around seeing Clarisse, standing with Luke and a few of the Ares kids, and she was talking to this blonde boy whom Claire had never seen before. Walking over Claire caught the last part of what Clarisse had said, it was something about how this kid had killed a minotaur.
Clarisse quickly locked eyes with Claire, and looked down for a moment, smiling, a small blush forming on her face.
Claire watched as she flinched at the boy causing him to jump back. Clarisse walked over to Claire her fierce expression changing to her beautiful smile.
"Hi, Baby," pulling Claire close to her, mumbling into her hair.
Claire blushed at the nickname, pulling back to look at her girlfriend.
"Who was that blonde boy? Is that the new camper Indigo told me about," Claire said as they intertwined hands, heading back to Claire's cabin.
"Yeah, and he claims to have killed a minotaur," Clarisse said, raising her eyebrows while scoffing, "I mean like he just got here and he's already trying to be special," she said while pushing the door to Claire's cabin open.
Claire pulled her into the cabin, turning around, smiling at the girl, "There's no need to get upset about this, whether he did or didn't it's not going to affect us," Claire said pushing a loose curl behind her ear, leaning up kissing Clairsse on the cheek.
Clarisse blushed looking away for a moment, but Claire brought her hand up making Clarisse look at her while rubbing her thumb over the barely noticeable scar on her cheekbone.
"Now how about I do your hair and then we can go train for tomorrow, okay?"
Clarisse nodded, a lovesick smile on her face.

Claire was laughing her ass off, while Clarisse looked like a kicked puppy sitting in the grass field.
Claire, in between laughs said, "Oh my god! You fell right on your face," pointing at Clarisse still laughing.
Clarisse stood up dusting off her armor, picking up her sword, "No, I -- I was just showing you what not to do while sword fighting, that's all,"
"Yeah, okay the scream you let out said otherwise though,"
The girls trained some more, both of them equally good, it was almost tied. The sun was setting they had both decided to sit down and have one of the snacks they packed.
Claire took Clarisse's hand in hers, tracing the lines of her hands, "Do you want to come to my cabin tonight?" she said looking up at Clarisse.
"Of course, I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else, but I do have to do something when we get back to camp first,"
Claire smiled nodding at the girl.
The girls continued even into the dark training, especially Clarisse, who wanted to put on her best show tomorrow.
Once they decided to head back to camp Claire couldn't help but think about what Clarisse had to do this late at night, but she didn't ask her not wanting to make her upset.
_______________________________
Once the girls parted ways back at camp, Claire walked back to her cabin wanting to make sure it was presentable for her girlfriend.
Claire's cabin was beautiful at night, it had a skylight due to her love of stars, which is something she found out she shared with her mother. Changing into a sleep shirt that was a shirt she had taken from Clarisse, and a pair of shorts.
Claire sat down on her bed, procrastinating cleaning up even though she knew she had to. she looked at her nightstand, which had many pictures of her and Clarisse together that their friends had captured, unknown to them.
Suddenly her door flew open. Claire turned to see who had just barged into her cabin. It was Clarisse -- and her hair and clothes were sopping wet.
"Clarisse what happened to you?"
"That new kid happened," she said venom in her voice, "He better be ready because he is so done for tomorrow," Clarisse said with a look in her eyes, a look that Claire knew all too well. Whatever happened pissed Clarisse off and whatever is going to happen will happen tomorrow there is no convincing Clarisse otherwise.
All Claire could think was that, tomorrow was going to be a long day.
