A/N: Yeah, I know I said I couldn't post this month but I got a little break so I wrote this. I'm going to start this little series off with a missing scene from the very end of SoN: THE PERCABETH REUNION.
_Percy PoV
Five minutes before the Argo II arrives _
I take my place by Reyna in front of the Romans. They all seem anxious: like they were about to go to war. Nervous for my friends I give a last-minute message. "Alright, Romans, first, whatever you do, do not attack the Greeks…" I barely get to say anything because Octavian shouts a protest, "Octavian! Let the Praetor speak!" I looked beside me where Reyna was scolding the augur. I can't help but smirk. She nods, telling me to go on, "Most of them are my friends and have fought alongside me in the second Titan war. Do not attack them even if a gorgeous blonde-haired, grey-eyed girl attacks me, she's probably mad at me for…" I realize I'm about to start rambling on about Annabeth and our relationship, the children of Venus, and Frank and Hazel go "Awww" I glare at them, "Just don't attack." As an afterthought, I say something Annabeth will probably make me regret soon, "I'm going to do something that will really set her off: I'm going to prank her" The children of Mercury start cheering and Reyna gives them her signature I-am-the-Praetor-and-you-will-shut-up-or-else glare.
We give a few more "Don't attack" warnings and turn around just in time to see the Argo II approach camp.
_Annabeth PoV
Just before they land
_
Jason and I are looking down toward the Romans. I search the crowd for Percy and Jason just seems happy to be home. Thalia, who decided to join us to spend a little bit of "bonding time" with her little brother, approaches us and gives Jason a tight hug. "If I find out that you're dating some Roman girl and cheating on her with Piper…" She trails off as if she's giving a threat. Jason frowns and begins to protest but Thalia cuts him off and while smiling warmly says, "I'll explain it to her" Wait- Thalia said that warmly? Maybe the heights are getting to her.
I smirk, "Wait for her to finish first, Jason" Thalia laughs nervously as she looks down and steps back from the railing. Leo calls out that we are about to land. Jason and I take our positions at the front of the ship. The other demigods and Rachel sit on the deck, we only bought with us the head counselors for certain cabins, Rachel, and a few of our closer friends. We are all either in our camp shirts or normal clothes, but we have our armor downstairs in case we would have to fight. Not here, though. Jason was confident in that.
We touch down and Jason, Piper, Leo and I walk off the ship. I see him there looking in our direction with that goofy little grin, and before I could stop myself, I just ran there and hugged him mumbling "Where were you for 8 months" I step back to see that his usual smile has been wiped off. And he says the worst possible thing I've ever heard: "Who are you again?" And I just lose it.
"I-I'm Annabeth! I'm your Wise Girl! Your friend! I came from the other side of the country to try to find you! I sent Nico around the entire world to look for you, Mrs. O'Leary, too! I IM'd you, we tried the Empathy link! I….." I start to say every single thing we'd done for each other, all our adventures. I get cut off by his lips meeting mine. "Wise Girl, I'm kidding, I'm kidding."
The next thing I did is not what you would expect a girl who lost her boyfriend for eight months and found him again would do: I punched him in the nose. I guess I made up for it with the kiss I gave him next. Some scrawny, blonde kid starts yelling orders at the Romans but the dark haired girl beside me raised her hand as if saying, "No." He kisses me back and when we pull away, the dark haired girl outstretches her arm to shake,
"Welcome to New Rome, I'm Reyna, Praetor of the 12th legion. I assume you're the Annabeth he keeps rambling on about." I look to my side to see Percy glaring at Reyna. I give a laugh and nod, "Yeah, that would be me" She turns to Jason and gives him a little hug, I catch "Welcome back, Sparky" Reyna turns to the Romans, "As Perseus" A grunt from Percy, "has told you, the Greeks are no harm to us nor do they plan to be. Turning to us she says, "How many others are in your ship?" "Not many. Just some of our cabin counselors, our Oracle, Rachel, and some friends" She nods, "Alright, Percy, show them to your house, or better yet, Jason, you do it. He's using your room, anyway" Jason nods with a smile and leads us to a place near the City.
I walk by Percy and I whisper in his ear, "You owe me eight month-anniversaries"
