Percy, his mom and Paul were moving boxes of Percy's things into his new apartment.
"Remind me how you are able to afford this place?" Sally asked, since Percy had rented a very spacious apartment with a kitchen, a dining room, a family room, 3 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms and 10 storerooms.
"I traded in drachmas for mortal money and made a pretty decent profit. Also, Dad left a fake will that was loaded with cash." Percy explained.
"Nice." Paul said
"Does Annabeth know that you moved out?" Sally asked of his son's girlfriend.
"No, she's been busy with her work internship program at Stanford and at Camp Jupiter." Percy said, thinking of spring break when Annabeth came back to visit.
"When does she get back?" Sally asked
"She graduates in a few weeks and then she's coming to live in New York fulltime." Percy said.
"Does she have a place to stay?" Paul asked
"No, so I'm going to ask her to stay here with me." Percy said
A few weeks later.
Annabeth had just arrived from airport to Percy's parents' place.
"Hello Annabeth." Sally said
"Hi Sally, is Percy home?" Annabeth asked her boyfriend's mother.
"Yes, but he doesn't live here anymore. He has his own apartment a few blocks from here. Here's the address." Sally said, handing Annabeth a piece of paper.
"Thanks." Annabeth said, silently relieved that Percy had his own place, since she needed a place to stay and no offense, but two 22 year olds shouldn't still be living in one of their parent's places.
When she arrived, she found that Percy had the only room on the 25th floor and the elevator went right up into it.
After the doorman buzzed Percy, she took the elevator right up into his apartment.
"Annabeth." Percy said waiting for her.
"Percy." Annabeth said, dropping her suitcases and running up to him and kissing him hotly.
"I've missed you." Percy said to his girl when they paused for breaks for air.
"I missed you to. And I need to a place to stay." Annabeth said
"I've got plenty of room here. In fact, why don't I give you the grand tour, starting with the bedroom?" Percy said with each breath.
"Let's go." Annabeth said as Percy picked her up and carried her into his room.
When they were finally done, all their clothes were scattered on the floor and they were lying in his bed, naked under the covers and breathing heavily.
"So you sure it's okay I move in with you?" Annabeth asked
"That's the whole reason I moved out." Percy said
Annabeth smiled at her boyfriend and said "Come on, we need to get dressed so you can show me around the rest of the apartment."
Percy nodded as they climbed out of bed and put their clothes back on.
"And I've got plenty of extra rooms that you can set up your office in." Percy said, since Annabeth had decided to double in both architecture and law. Needless to say her mother was very proud.
"What's that room?" Annabeth asked
"That's my man cave. Check it out." Percy said, opening the door.
Inside was a huge plasma screen Hephaestus tv, a computer, a popcorn machine, a kitchenette, a blender, a minifridge, several game systems, a pool table, a phose ball table, an air hockey table, a movie projector and to top it all off, a hot tub.
"This place is incredible." Annabeth said
"Yep, Jason, Leo, Frank, Nico, the Stolls, Grover and Chris come over all the time for guy's night." Percy said
"You think me and some of the girls could use it for a girl's night?" she asked
"Sorry, but this is my sacred room. Every guy needs a place to just kick back and relax. Besides, you girls have Rachel's cave, or I've got enough money to turn one of the other rooms into a girl cave for you and the girls to have a girls night." Percy said.
"Thanks and I guess I understand." Annabeth said.
A few days later, all of Annabeth's stuff from California had arrived, since she had decided the apartment needed a feminine touch.
Anyway, Percy was helping her set up his office when there was a buzz.
"You get that, I'll finish setting up these bookshelves." Percy said to his girl.
Annabeth nodded.
"Ms. Chase, you've got visitors."
"Send them up." Annabeth said.
When the elevator opened, Jason, Piper, Leo, Calypso, Frank and Hazel all poured out of it.
"So you guys are really moving in together." Leo said
"Yep." Annabeth said happily.
"Where's Percy?" Frank asked
"Setting up some bookshelves in my new office." Annabeth said
"Let's go check it out." Jason said with a chuckle.
