Percy and Annabeth walked hand in hand, taking in Camp Half-Blood.
Annabeth sighed. "There was a time when I thought we might never be here again."
"Too bad the summer is almost over," Percy said. "I miss my mom, but I don't want to go home without you."
"Actually, I've decided to go to school in New York this year," Annabeth said, her mouth curving into a smile.
"You mean, with me?" Percy almost couldn't believe it. He was sure Annabeth would go to a super smart school, not the kind that would let him in.
"Never separated again." Annabeth kissed him. "And I've talked to Reyna about New Rome. We can go to college there. Full scholarships for heroes who defeat Gaea!"
Percy whooped so loudly that Annabeth started.
"No monsters, no titans or giants, just me and my girl." He reached for her hand.
"And after college…" Annabeth continued. "Reyna and Frank said we could live there as long as we like. I never imagined there would be a safe place for demigods to settle down, start a family…"
"We could start working on that now," Percy raised his eyebrows suggestively.
Annabeth's face turned bright red. She laughed and slapped his arm playfully.
There was no question. He had the most amazing girlfriend ever. They grinned at each other, breaking eye contact only when they saw Nico walking up to them.
