This story is set on Argo II, the day that the Door's of Death are closed and the return of Percy and Annabeth from Tartarus.

Percy Jackson's POV

Percy sat down next to Annabeth at the dinner table. It had been so long since he'd eaten something. It was also nice finally being with the rest of the 7. The best part of the meals on Argo II was that Leo brought the plates from Camp Half-Blood and therefore he could eat whatever he wanted. He thought of what he wanted to eat most, which wasn't all too hard.

Suddenly a piece of blue pizza appeared on his plate. He grinned at looked at Annabeth, who also had pizza on her plate. She looked at his pizza and said, "Gosh I really miss Sally."

"I do too" he replied. It had been so long since he'd seen his mom. So much had happened as well. He woke up one day not remembering who he was, found Camp Jupiter. Then went on a quest to Alaska as a Roman demigod, flew across the US and the Atlantic, arriving in the most dangerous place on earth for demigods, Rome. He then fell into Tartarus with Annabeth, managed to close the doors of death and then return back. Even for a demigod, that was a lot. He was glad though that he was finally with Annabeth. This time he was never going to let her go.

After dinner, Percy walked Annabeth to her room. When they reached the door, Annabeth turned around and stared into Percy's eyes. Percy moved closer and kissed her softly on the lips. Before he could pull back, Annabeth had laced her fingers in his hair, pulling him closer to her. Soon Percy was pushing Annabeth into the wall, kissing her passionately. It was turning into a full make out session. They hadn't had one in quite some time. Tartarus wasn't exactly a romantic setting.

Piper's POV

Piper came down the stairs, on her way to her room and found Percy and Annabeth clinging on to each other, kissing passionately. She didn't want to disrupt them, even if she did want to get to her room. They really did deserve some privacy. They had just reunited after eight months and then fell to the pits of Tartarus.

Piper turned around, but only realized too late that her shoelace was untied and the she was standing on it. She fell to the bottom of the stairs quite loudly. She looked up to see Percy and Annabeth staring at her, both turning as red as a tomato.

Percy's POV

"Ehm… sorry guys, I didn't want to disrupt you." Piper said quickly. It was quite embarrassing, being found in the middle of a make out session with Annabeth, but he didn't care. All he cared about was that he was with Annabeth.

"It's ok, Percy was just bringing me to my room. Good night Piper, see you tomorrow morning." Annabeth responded. Percy stared at her incredibly; she had such a good response after just being found making out with her boyfriend in public.

Percy was tossing and turning in his bed. He was finally lying in a real bed after such a long time, but he couldn't fall asleep. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the horrors of Tartarus. He wanted to go to Annabeth because she was the only one that could understand him, but he knew that she would be sound asleep and he didn't want to wake her up. She really did need the sleep.

At around 2am, Percy started pacing around his room. If he couldn't sleep, then at least he should be doing something productive. He suddenly heard a scream that was quickly followed by crying. Percy ran to the door and opened it. The scream had come from Annabeth's room. He ran as fast as he could. All he could think of was getting to Annabeth before she got hurt, if she wasn't hurt already. On his way there, he saw the others getting out of their room wondering where the noise was coming from.

Percy reached Annabeth's room and opened the door. He saw Annabeth tossing and turning in her bed, tears covering her face but she was still asleep. Percy was relieved that she wasn't physically hurt, but she was having nightmares and as a demigod, those were never good. He got to her bed and slipped under the covers. He held Annabeth close to him and tried to calm her down.

"It's okay Annabeth, I'm here. I won't let anything or anyone hurt you." He whispered into her ear. Slowly she started to relax and fell into a deep sleep. As soon as he felt Annabeth calm down, he closed his eyes and muttered encouraging phrases into Annabeth's ear, until he too fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.
