Hey! I'm cammieannemorganlee (Cammie Anne Morgan Lee). Why the extra 'lee'? My first name's Morgan and my middle name's Lee. It seemed only right!

Okay, so this is a Percabeth story. The first two chapters are short clippings, but it leads into another story, kinda like glimpses into the past. Hope you like it!

DISCLAIMER: Rick Riordan is the genius behind the Percy Jackson books and the Heroes of Olympus books. The characters aren't my own :( What a shame...

Beginning of "Mark of Athena" when the Argo II lands.

Percy's POV

As I stepped outside, my arms over Frank and Hazel's shoulder, I could feel butterflies in my stomach, because, first thing first, I was at a Roman camp and there was a Greek warship landing in the field. Everyone around me was holding weapons, ready to defend Camp Jupiter from the Graecus. Secondly, I had just been elected praetor, and everyone was looking to Reyna and myself to lead. And finally... I got to see Annabeth again.

"The Greeks are here!" I heard someone shout. "Get ready to attack!"

"Silence, Octavian," Reyna growled.

"Lower your weapons," I called calmly.

"Yes, lower your weapons," Reyna agreed.

I glanced at Octavian, who was bright red and looked like he wanted to cut my head off. I smiled.

The ship began to land, and I stepped forward, pulling my arms away from my friends. I was anxious to see who was on the ship. I swear it took hours to land, just to toy with my head. I couldn't help tapping my foot on the ground, impatient.

When the ship finally touched the ground, I almost jumped up and down with excitement. As a ramp was placed, I saw a boy walk out. He was about my age and his face showed joy as he took in his surroundings.

"Jason!" I heard Reyna shout.

So this is the Jason Grace, I thought. I was about to say something when a girl with an orange Camp Half-Blood shirt and blonde hair tied back in a ponytail stepped out.

I felt my heart stop and, without thinking, I ran forward. I wrapped my arms around the girl, taking in her sweet smell that I had come to love.

"Annabeth," I said softly.

She pushed me back and punched my arm. "DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, SEAWEED BRAIN!" She yelled. Boy was she angry. Just when I thought she would pull out her knife, she hugged me fiercely.

"Gods, Percy. You really scared me," she said, tears in her eyes.

"Sorry, Wise girl," I whispered. "I missed you."

And right in front of everyone, she kissed me. It was desperate and passionate, and I kissed her back, ignoring the gasps from behind me.

"Jeez," I heard a voice come from the ship. Conner Stoll stepped out and rolled his eyes. "And I thought this would be a nice reunion."

I smiled as more familiar faces came into view. Travis Stoll joined his brother, who was trying hard not to laugh. Malcolm, Annabeth's brother, stepped out, followed by Clarisse. Then, finally, a girl, who stood beside Jason, and Leo, who I recognized from the message we'd received moments before.

"Annabeth," Tyson clapped happily from the back of the group, jumping up and down in excitement. Some of the campers had to move to avoid being stepped on.

"Hi, Tyson."

"Yay!" He yelled, before Clarisse spoke up,

"Um, Percy?" She asked.

"Hey, Clarisse," I waved, turning to her.

"Why are you wearing a sheet?"

After introductions and a meeting with 'the Greeks' and heads of Cohort, Annabeth and I were finally alone. I changed into comfortable clothes and gave her a tour of Camp Jupiter. Her eyes sparkled as she surveyed the architecture.

"Wow," She exclaimed. "It's a smaller version of Rome!"

"Yeah," I said happily, swinging her hand back and forth.

She turned to face me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I held her face and our lips almost met when I heard someone call my name.

"Hey, Percy!" Hazel was running towards me, pulling Frank with her.

I sighed and dropped my hands.

"Uh... Sorry Percy," she said, smiling.

"Uh, hey, Hazel," I muttered.

"Hi. I'm Hazel, daughter of Pluto." She introduced herself to Annabeth.

"Hades," Annabeth added before Hazel continued. "And this is Frank, son of Mars."

"Ares," She said quietly, then introduced herself. "Hi. I'm Annabeth, daughter of Athena."

"Annabeth's my girlfriend," I clarified.

"It's nice to meet you, Annabeth." Hazel's smile was friendly. "Uh, sorry to bother you, Percy. It's just... Nico." She sounded really worried about her brother.

"Nico?" Annabeth asked.

"Yeah, he's my brother."

"Why? What happened? He hasn't been to camp in weeks."

"You know Nico?" Hazel was curious.

I sighed. "Wow, this is going to give me a huge headache," I muttered, before explaining.

"So... Nico's Greek?" Hazel asked, when I'd finished.

"Yeah. So was his sister."

She nodded. "Bianca."

"Yeah. I thought I recognised him when I came here."

"Wait. Nico saw you and didn't tell me?" Annabeth's voice rose. "When I get hold of him-"

"He's missing, Wise girl."I cut her off.

She cursed in Greek. "We have to tell Chiron."

"I'm sorry, Percy. I just... I haven't told anyone other then you guys, and now your praetor..." Hazel's eyes were wet with tears.

Frank gave her a hug before pulling her away before she could start crying. "Bye, Percy!" He called over his shoulder.

I watched them walk away before turning to Annabeth. "Where was I?" I asked, grinning.

"I think you were about to kiss your girlfriend, Seaweed Brain."

"Hmm..." I held her face as her arms wrapped around my neck. I kissed her fiercely.

She sighed when we pulled apart. "I missed this...Come send Chiron an Iris message."

We gathered everyone from Camp Half-Blood around a drinking fountain. Malcolm held down the button and Annabeth searched her pocket before pulling out a gold Drachma. She was about to throw it into the rainbow when I stopped her, remembering our encounter with Fleecy.

"Trust me," I told her. "O Fleecy, do me a solid. Show Chiron at Camp Half-Blood," I called.

Annabeth gave me a strange look, like I'd gone mad, but it worked. Chiron was teaching an archery class and almost dropped his bow when the message appeared.

"Annabeth! My dear, I'm teaching a class," He said.

Annabeth pulled me into view so Chiron could see me.

"Percy! Thank the gods, you're alive!" I heard his student talking to each other, excited and relieved to know I was alive.

"Hey, Chiron," I said simply.

"It's wonderful to see you," he exclaimed, before dismissing his class. "Well, I suppose there's a reason you called?" He asked.

"Yeah, Chiron," Annabeth stepped in."Nico's missing."

His face fell. "Oh dear."

I pulled Hazel in, who explained everything to Chiron, Annabeth and I adding in the parts she missed. When we finished, he shook his head. "This is bad. You must all be careful." He was lost in thought for a moment before he shook his head to clear it. "I must say goodbye. It's good to see you, Percy."

Everyone called out their goodbyes, before Chiron lifted his hand to end the message.

We all went our separate ways. Annabeth and I sat down by the river.

"It must be horrible, being in Chiron's position," Annabeth sighed.

"Yeah, all those demigods disappearing."

"You worried him a lot. You worried me." I didn't know what to say. Her voice was so sad. "Well, I guess that's what I get when my boyfriend's the savior of Olympus." She laughed to hide her fear.

"I'm really sorry, Annabeth. I swear, I didn't mean to leave. I just woke up wi-" She pressed her lips to mine to silence me.

"I know it wasn't your fault. It's Hera's."

"I'd be careful, if I were you," I warned.

She shrugged. "We already hate each other. And..." She drifted off.

"And what?" I asked, curious.

"Nothing. It's nothing."

"Come on, Wise girl. You can't do this to me!" I complained.

She sighed. "Fine... And she can't hurt me more then when she took you away from me."

I blinked. "Annabeth..."

Her eyes began to tear up.

"You were the only thing I could remember when I woke up. I couldn't remember anything else, not even my mum, but I could remember you," I told her quietly. "I love you, Annabeth."

She smiled. "I love you, too, Seaweed Brain."

When we kissed, it said everything. It was the best kiss we'd ever had, and it seemed to take away all of the pain of losing Annabeth for months. When we finally pulled apart, I heard a noise behind me. From the corner of my eye, I saw Malcolm, Travis, and Connor. They looked pretty disgusted.

"Uh, Annabeth?" Malcolm asked.

She smiled, trying not to laugh at his expression. "Yes Malcolm?"

"Well... Never mind." Travis and Connor laughed as he turned around and walked away, his face red. The Stoll's followed, still laughing.

We started laughing. I loved Annabeth's laugh. It sent a shiver down my spine, but in a good way. We lay back and watched the clouds, holding hands. Annabeth rested her head on my chest and I stroked her cheek. We lay there for hours, enjoying each other's company, occasional sitting up to kiss.

Gods, I missed this, I thought as I reflected on the last months, almost a year.

I sighed. "I wish we could freeze this moment. I wish we didn't have a quest to go on and a world to save. This moment, right here, is perfect." I said softly.

"That's exactly how I feel, Seaweed Brain." She smiled.

We didn't move from that spot, not even for dinner. We stayed out until the sun set and the blue was replaced by black. The stars were beautiful.

"There's Zoe," Annabeth pointed to the constellation that, until a few years ago, didn't exist. When our friend Zoe, a hunter of Artemis, had died, Artemis made a constellation to honour her lieutenant.

"There's Hercules," I smiled. Annabeth had taught me the constellation years ago.

I felt her shiver.

"Come on, Wise girl. Lets get to bed." I pulled her up and walked with her to the Argo II, where she was sleeping.

"Can you stay with me tonight?" She asked.

I smirked. "Can't bare to leave me?"

"Your head is full of kelp."

I rolled my eyes. "Lets go."

When were on board, I realised that she was sleeping on a bunk bed. There was no room for me unless I took the occupied bunk below her.

"Uh... Annabeth? There's no room," I pointed out.

She smiled. "Athena always has a plan."

She grabbed a pile of blankets and shoved them into my arms. Then she found some pillows and led me to the deck.

"Your room has a great view, Wise girl," I commented, looking at the stars

"That's why it's my room, Seaweed Brain."

I smiled and climbed under the covers, putting my arms out for Annabeth. She climbed in and I wrapped my arms around her.

"Good night, Annabeth," I whispered.

"Night, Percy." She turned around in my arms to plant a kiss on my lips.

"I love you."

"I love you. So much..." She drifted off to sleep, and I followed soon after.

"Wake up, love birds." I felt someone shake my shoulder.

My eyes fluttered open and I felt Annabeth stir beside me.

"W-What time is it?" I asked no one in particular.

"Just after 10am. You love birds can't stay away from each other, can you?" I recognised Travis Stoll's voice.

Yeah, I thought. Love birds sums it up really well.

I looked at the girl beside me and felt my heart ache.

I love her more then I ever thought possible, I thought, as I leaned down and kissed her cheek. What would my life be without her?
