A/N This is set after the Second Giant War.

Third Person

Poseidon leaned forward, his throne moving with him. The Olympians were in the middle of a meeting, discussing the current uprising of the Furies. Hades had handled it, of course, as he had explained, but they were worried. It was four years after the Second Titan War, and the news on Olympus was all about Perseus Jackson, who was currently on another quest. Thirteen of the fourteen Olympians were present; Hermes was absent. Two gods, Hades and Hestia, had been added to the Council, on Percy Jackson's wishes after the Second Giant War.

As if on cue, the messenger god ran in frantically, ordering, "Iris message from the Fates, Iris message from the Fates! They told us to turn on Hephaestus TV!"

The expansive screen flickered to life, showing Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase on screen. The third companion on the quest, Grover Underwood, was nowhere to be seen. The two warriors were viciously fighting the blood-thirsty platoon of monsters.

"Where's Grover?" Percy screamed, killing six dracanae at once.

"He's still getting enchiladas!" She answered, battling a sphinx.

Slowly, the monsters thinned, however, there were still more than a dozen. Percy was breathing heavily, as was Annabeth. Percy, intently focused on killing a monster, suddenly raised his hand and wiped out all the monsters in front of them, turning them to dust with a tidal wave. The water rushed back into the ocean. They were in Los Angeles, on the same beach that Ares and Percy fought at eight years ago.

Only the Manticore and a hellhound remained. The hellhound swiped Percy's arm, causing him to drop his sword. Fresh blood escaped, flowing down his arm in a dark stream. He charged the hellhound, not only shocking it but tackling the beast. He formed a sword out of water and stabbed it into the hellhound. He landed on the sand, surrounded by the sulfuric monster powder.

He took a deep breath, preparing to jump into battle and help Annabeth. A bloodcurdling scream echoed and Percy's face dropped.

Percy POV

Annabeth's scream reached my ears, a spine-chilling sound. I turned around, panic already overwhelming me. There was the love of my life, on the floor, a pool of blood already soaking her.

"NO!" I shrieked, sprinting forward, my sword raised. The Manticore turned just in time to raise its tall and deflect my blade. Brutally stabbing the creature in the heart, I dropped the sword and ran to Annabeth. She was incredibly pale, despite her tan, Californian skin. I tried healing her wounds with water, but it wasn't effective enough.

Her eyes opened slightly and a small smile grazed her lips. I tucked a blonde piece of hair behind her ear.

"Annabeth? You have to wake up! You can't die right now! You can't!" I choked, tears slipping down my face. "I love you, Annabeth. I love you so much; words cannot describe how much I feel for you. There's so much life left in you, we were going to do so much!" I wept, hugging her close to my body.

"Percy…" She whispered, her breathing ragged. She had a gaping wound in her chest, green with poison. "I love you, too. You are amazing, but I have to go. I will be waiting for you, in the Underworld. Live your life, don't do anything bad, okay? You have to promise me, you can't come to the Underworld before your time…"

"I-I promise." I whispered.

"I love you." She whispered one more time, using her last remnants of life to lean upwards and kiss me gently. It was a sad, sweet, loving kiss, salty from my tears.

"No, no, I am not letting this happen." Percy groaned, his shoulders shaking with sobs. Annabeth, hearing my racking sobs, cuddled closer to my body before taking one last breath.

"I love you, Seaweed Brain."

"No! I'll do anything! Please! Apollo? Heal her, please! Hades? I'll trade my soul! Please, I will do anything!" I screamed, hugging Annabeth's cold body to my chest.

"She is my Wise Girl! Why can you not answer my pleas now?! I need you, father, help! We were going to get married!" I screamed to the heavens, looking for some sign of help. Despair and unspeakable emotions engulfed me.

A light flashed in front of me, a figure appearing. It was obviously a divine form.

"Anything, you say?" He cackled.

"Yes, just please, save her."

"I will," The being answered, looking down at the lifeless body, "but you must agree to do me a favor." Honestly, anything, absolutely anything, was worth giving life back to Annabeth. I would rather her have a life than me.

"Whatever it takes." I exclaimed.

"You must be my eternal servant." He boomed.

Looking at Annabeth, I didn't even hesitate before replying, "Okay, but first, swear on the River Styx that you will give Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, her life back and never take it away." I made sure there were no loopholes.

"Fine." He snarled, repeating the oath. Thunder boomed overhead, declaring the oath sacred.

Holding up his hands, he took a deep breath. Watching his concentration, I witnessed the visible energy surge into Annabeth's body. She turned on her side, the wound closing, the poison disappearing.

"Thank you, Lord…?" Percy left the statement hanging, unaware of this being's name. Waiting for an answer, he slipped the engagement ring into Annabeth's pocket.

"Uranus. Call me Lord Uranus, Percy Jackson."

Third Person (Throne Room)

Athena and Poseidon watched in horror as Percy cradled Annabeth.

"We must do something!" Poseidon demanded, "We can't just let Annabeth die!"

"Yes!" Athena cried, "Perseus is asking for our help! We must act now, to save him. The Fates-"

"The Fates said we can't change anything." Hermes reminded them solemnly.

Aphrodite added, "Do you hear your son, Poseidon? His words to your daughter, Athena, they are so…heartfelt." She was openly crying, ruining her makeup. For once, Aphrodite didn't care how she looked.

They listened to Percy explained his love to Annabeth as she died in his arms. Even Ares was sorrowful, having grown attached to the Seaweed Brain.

"We were going to get married!" Percy screamed, thick streams of tears slipping down his face. Aphrodite gasped, as well as many other Olympians.

"We have to do something now!" Aphrodite begged, standing up.

"We can't." Poseidon remarked miserably.

"I'll do anything!" Percy screamed.

A man flashed in, familiar to the Olympians.

"Is that…?"

"Uranus? Yes, it is." Zeus answered.

They watched in stunned silence as Percy gave up his immortal soul for Annabeth is roam the Earth once more.

"Poseidon?" Artemis called.

The gods of the sea was shocked, clenching his trident to the point where his knuckles were white. His face was slack; he looked like a broken, defeated man, who wanted his son back. Everyone watched as tears slipped down Poseidon's face.

"Yes, Artemis?" He whispered.

"Your son is the most noble, most outstanding hero I have ever laid eyes upon." She praised Percy.

The other Olympians nodded, contributing more compliments. Meaningless phrases.

Annabeth POV

Groggily, I peeled my eyes open. Fluorescent lights blinded me before my eyes adjusted to the light. So this was the Underworld? I remember it differently from when I was twelve…

Percy! I thought, emotions overwhelming me. I rolled over on the bed, ready to burst into tears. He was in the mortal world right now, living his life, while I was dead. The idea with Percy getting married to anyone else-

"Annabeth?" Someone whispered. I blinked again and sat up, feeling no pain from my wound. I found I was in the Big House's sick room. Thalia, Grover, Nico, Athena, Poseidon, and the rest of the Olympians were in the room, surrounding my bed.

"Am I dead?" I groaned, scanning the room once more.

"No," Athena whispered, "well, technically, you were, for a brief amount of time."

"What happened?" I asked, hazy recollections flitting through my mind. Tension filled the air as everyone shared worried glances. My heartbeat picked up as I realized who was missing.

"Where is Percy?" I whispered. Thalia moved closer, putting a hand on my shoulder. Her face was grim.

"Where is Percy? Where is he? Tell me!" I shrieked, my mind filled with nonsense and panic. Athena sighed, drawing my attention. Thalia stroked my hair, calming me down. My breathing was ragged, reminding me of my last moments. How could he not be here? Was he hurt as well? Or worse?

"You were fighting monsters with Percy on your quest. There were too many, but you two still battled, slaying all the monsters, until the Manticore stabbed you with his poisoned darts. Percy immediately killed him and came to your aid. He tried healing you, but it didn't work. You died." Athena paused, choking back tears.

"Percy just held you, screaming that he loved you, that he wanted to marry you, that he would do anything to save you."

A small smile grazed my lips, despite the situation. Percy, my Seaweed Brain, was still the sweetest person, even when someone horrible happens. He wanted to get married…

"Apparently, saying he would do anything were the perfect words to scream, because someone took him up on his offer. Uranus, the Titan, traded Percy your life for his eternal service. That is why you are alive. Percy loved you so much, he preferred you to roam this Earth rather than himself leading the life of a normal demigod." Athena finished, on the verge of tears. I was silently sobbing, my shoulders shaking.

I felt something press against my thigh in my pocket. Slipping it out of my pocket, I found a gold band with a large diamond, sea green emeralds and gray gemstones surrounding the diamond in an alternating pattern. Engraved in the gold was Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl.

This caused me to cry harder, cradling the ring to my chest. Nico, ever the curious one, asked what it was. Weeping hysterically, I held out the ring.

"Percy must have given this to me while leaving with Uranus." I whispered. My heart ached, but I was filled with a determined fire burning in my chest. I would get Uranus to give me my boyfriend (fiance?) back.

So how was it? I know the
