Piper: There... good enough. (She steps outside Cabin Ten.) Piper: Mm... strawberries, the ocean breeze... it really does smell like camp. (She smiles as she walks toward breakfast. Jason and Leo fall into step beside her, but their conversation isn't heard.) Piper: They're definitely talking about something ridiculous. (Annabeth, Percy, Nico, and Will catch up, joining the group.) Piper: Looks like everyone's actually awake for once. Breakfast (Campers laugh and chatter around the pavilion.) Piper: It feels... different today. No prophecy. No monsters. No impossible deadline. Just breakfast. (She smiles while looking around camp.) Piper: I could get used to this. Canoe Lake (Piper paddles across the calm lake.) Piper: This is exactly what I needed. It's so quiet... I almost forgot what quiet sounded like. Arena (Swords clash as Piper and Annabeth spar.) Piper: You're holding back. Annabeth: Am I? Piper: Definitely. (They continue sparring.) Piper: Okay... maybe you're not. (A few more swings.) Piper: I almost got you that time! Annabeth: Almost. Piper: One of these days...
