Tara walked with Jason hand and hand. She was wearing a purple bikini under her cover up. The sun was beating down on them as they approached the Lake.

Jason wore his swimming trunks and a beach shirt. He laid in a chair by the lake. "Can you swim?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" She put down her chair and put her bag on it.

"I don't know. Jessica couldn't swim. I just told her to lay against me and relax. Now I notice she probably was just trying to feel my abs and muscles...huh. And then, some Aphrodite kids won't swim because of their hair and make-up...don't feel stressed about the Jessica thing."

"Right..." Tara pulled her hair into a bun. "Good thin I don't wear makeup." She pulled off her coverup and shoved it in her bag.

Jason took off his sunglasses and sandals and jumped in. He laid back, relaxed.

Tara waded into the lake slowly and stood next to Jason.

"Cold, huh?" He stood up, keeping above water.

"A little."

"Yeah, this is defiantly colder than the beach."

"Yeah, but no one is here."

"It is very peaceful-"

"JASON! TARA! THERE YOU GUYS ARE! I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR YOU GUYS AROUND CAMP FOR THREE DAYS!" Teagan ran up to them. "I was claimed...I'm an Aphrodite kid."

"...No."

"Yes!"

"Tara, looks you have a sibling."

"Um. Wow Teagen. That's um... That's great. Uh. You'll love the cabin."

"No, I won't. It's not great. I don't want to live with a bunch of JFGs."

Tara looked at Jason. "I um. You can Han out in the tree house?"

"Thanks, but it was your gift. Plus that injury you got..I heard about it from some JFGs...well, I'll leave you guys alone." Teagan left.

Jason said, "thank gosh he's gone." Then, in a surprise, he picked up Tara and went to throw her, gently.

When Tara resurfaced she was giggling. "Don't." She laughed and swam back to him. "There's water up my nose."

Jason laughed and gently squeezed her nose. He went underwater and grabbed her feet, and attempted to pull her under.

Tara wiggled her foot trying to get free. When her foot accidentally made contact with something hard she freaked out. "Oh gods did I kick you?"

Jason didn't respond; he acted like he had passed out. Then, after fifteen seconds or so, he tried to pull her under again, showing her the rock she kicked.

"Geez, I thought you were hurt!"

Jason laughed, going back to the surface. "You think your puny foot is going to hurt me, Tina, you nerd?" Jason laughed.

Tara grabbed his arm and pulled herself closer to him. "Your just a giant mountain."

"Then I am truly one beautiful mountain." He smiled, kissing her.

Tara kissed him back, struggling to touch the bottom of the lake.
