All rights go to Taylor Swift and Riordanon this one and yada, yada, yada.

These darn school computers don't automatically do spell check on Word, so if 'yada' isn't a word, then so sue me! (Not really... I don't think that would go so good with my parents... Would it? ;D)

Read and review!

This is all from Annabeth's POV.

I still remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild

YES! The war's finally won! BY US! Now there won't be any more killing. There will be less danger with monsters, and more demigods could survive most of their lives through... And Percy and I could be together. I smiled at him as the gods started filing in and he sent a crooked, nervous smile back to me. I could hear some other campers behind us giggling and cheering quietly... No doubt the Aphrodite kids.

We were the kings and the queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives
Would never be the same

The dance had started - or rather, Percy and my dance had just started. A nicely-paced slow song seemed to start for us, though I knew that it was probably only us hearing it, and everyone else was hearing whatever they wanted. Anyways, Percy and I were dancing. It was wonderful, and at that moment I knew that our lives would never be the same.

You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age

Percy and I walked out of the elevator and onto the street in front of the Empire State Building, and we began heading over to where Chiron was attempting to still everyone so that he could take account of who was still alive, but he failed miserably - most of us being ADHD and all. As we were standing there, waiting for Chiron to finally give up counting, I looked over at Percy and I don't know what everyone else saw, but I saw him standing like a true hero.

Long live the walls we crashed through
While the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered

I said, remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
Wishing for right now

I was standing on the deck of the Argo II, which was now in flight, due west to the Bay Area. Piper walked up next to me.

"You're worried we won't find him, aren't you?" she asked.

I sighed. It was hard to keep emotions from Piper. "Kind of."

"What was it that led you two to be so close?"

I felt tears beginning to well up in my eyes.

"I didn't mean to intrude or anything," Piper said quickly

"No, no. It's fine." And I began to summarize my adventures with Percy, feeling a warm sensation spreading through out my body. I told myself to remember this sensation whenever I worried about Percy. He was a hero. If he could beat Clarisse in sword fighting, he could definitely survive in a Roman camp. My heart dropped when I did a double take on my words and noticed I'd thought the word 'survived'.

We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town

And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, this is absurd
'Cause for a moment a band of thieves
In ripped-up jeans got to rule the world

Long live the walls we crashed through
While the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid

Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting monsters with you
I was screaming, long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered


Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break or fall

And you take a moment
Promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if the gods forbid fate should step in

And force us into a goodbye
If you have children someday
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name

Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine

Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you

Long, long live the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
And I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid

Singing, long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting monsters with you
And long, long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered
