Kiss on the Cheek (deviantart)

Once the chariot stopped, our friends mobbed us. They started chanting our names, but Annabeth yelled over the noise: “Hold up! Listen! It wasn’t just us!” The crowd didn’t want to be quiet, but Annabeth made herself heard: “We couldn’t have done it without somebody else! We couldn’t have won this race or gotten the Fleece or saved Grover or anything! We owe our lives to Tyson, Percy’s …”

“Brother!” I said, loud enough for everybody to hear. “Tyson, my baby brother.”

Tyson blushed. The crowd cheered. Annabeth planted a kiss on my cheek. The roaring got a lot louder after that. The entire Athena cabin lifted me and Annabeth and Tyson onto their shoulders and carried us toward the winner’s platform, where Chiron was waiting to bestow the laurel wreaths. -- The Sea of Monsters

Just recalling a few of my favorite scenes from the first series. I won't deny it, when I got to this part it took all of my will power not to go out into the street and scream at a random passerby! I just buried my face in my book and made this odd little squeak. The life of a fangirl is never dull, I must say.
