@Hermione Chase There is a little confusion in the first 2 books. In The Lost Hero Annabeth says that Percy went missing in December. In Son of Neptune, Percy says he went missing in October. In one of the Demigod Diaries' short stories (The one with Leo and the missing table) Leo says that its December 24th and that he has been at camp for a couple months, but that can't be true because in The Lost Hero; Leo, Piper, and Jason arrive at the end of December and right away they go on their first quest to save Hera before the Winter Solstice on December 22nd. If I were Rick Riordan I would have made the short story around Febraury 14th, since Leo talks alot in that short story about how he hasnt been able to talk to anybody much less a girl and that he thought he was going to have a girlfriend right away. And maybe, the children of Aphrodite do some ritual or party since its the day of love.
