Annabeth Pov.

Annabeth stared out the window at the city scape in front her. It was New Year's Eve and almost all of New York was turning out for the ball drop in Times Square.

She sighed turning around and leaning against the counter. She wished Percy could be here but he was away, not due to come home till the summer. The bed was cold without him there. The apartment just seemed empty. She missed the way he would play with the water in his cup at dinner. Gods, she just missed him.

"ANNABETH! YOU OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!" there was a pounding on the door. Annabeth smirked and rant to open the door. Thalia stood there, dressed in her hunters uniform. "You're a mess, you are not going to Times Square looking like that." She said stepping into the apartment.

"Good to see you too." Annabeth muttered.

"No I'm serious. You're going. You have no reason to miss it." Thalia said.

'Shouldn't you be with Artemis?" Annabeth asked.

"On momentary leave. Come on." She pulled Annabeth across the living room towards her room.

"But Thalia, I was about to…" Doesn't matter. I have this chance and now you do too." Thalia said sitting Annabeth down and undoing her messy bun.

"Thalia." Annabeth groaned.

"Annabeth, save the groaning for later." Thalia said. Annabeth glared up at Thalia. Thalia just smirked.

"What's going on?" Annabeth asked as Thalia curled her hair just a bit more than it already was.

"We… are celebrating New Year's." Thalia said.

"Not the answer I was looking for." Annabeth grumbled moving away from Thalia's reach.

'Annabeth, this is important." Thalia complained.

"Fine."

*:-D *;-D

Annabeth wrapped her jacket around her farther around herself to keep out the nipping cold that rippled through Time's Square. "I can't believe you convinced me to do this Thalia." She said.

Thalia turned a smirk across her face. "Hurry up. We need to get a good stop by the stage." She said.

"Why?"

"Because we have too." Thalia said.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. At midnight she was supposed to video chat with Percy. At this rate she was going to miss it. He got very limited time when it came to contact with her and she yearned for more. She missed his every touch, every little corny thing he did to say I love you. She missed the way he'd sneak up behind her and lift her off her feet. She missed the chaste kisses before bed and in the morning. His solid body pressed against hers at night, warming her through when it was cold.

She missed sneaking off to his cabin in the middle of the night just to talk and laugh with him. So in short she missed him a lot.

"Annabeth. Annabeth. ANNABETH! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Thalia yelled.

Annabeth blinked. "What sorry, dancing people over there." She said.

"You don't have to lie to me, Annabeth. I know you were thinking of Percy." Thalia said. Annabeth made a face at her.

"Let's go." Thalia said pulling Annabeth through the crowd.

*:-D *;-D

Annabeth stood there waiting for Thalia to come back from getting food. And probably some other things. It was probably a mistake giving Thalia her credit card. Percy might have a heart attack if she spent too much. Annabeth made a face thinking about that. Poor Seaweed Brain, she thought.

"Here you go." Thalia said coming back her arms loaded. Annabeth took the one hotdog she had asked for and held out her hand. 'What?" Thalia asked dumping all of the things she had bought on the ground causing some people at her.

"Credit card please." Annabeth said. Thalia rolled her eyes and slapped the card in Annabeth's hand.

"Is that all for you?" she asked as Thalia started putting stuff in a bag that she got from gods knows where.

"I'm taking some back from the girls. They wanted some." She said. Annabeth nodded leaning against the metal fence. The wind whipped around them causing Annabeth to shiver.

"Thalia if I freeze to death I'm going to kill you." Annabeth chattered.

"I love you empty threats" Thalia said. Annabeth glared at her.

"Fine. I know you can kill just as well as I can kill you." Thalia said glancing up at the clock. Annabeth nodded.

"You bet I can."

*:-D *;-D

The cold seemed almost unbearable. Another time Annabeth wished Percy was there. He was always warm. She leaned her head back against the fence where she was sitting. What did Thalia think she was going to stand all day? She sure wasn't.

"And about another 45 minutes." Thalia said.

"45 minutes too long." Annabeth muttered. Thalia glared at Annabeth who was watching the singer who was singing.

"Don't have a negative attitude about this. It's the new year, anything can happen."

"Then why can't you make my boyfriend appear?" Annabeth snapped. She was tired and cold and don't forget irritated. The loud cheers where giving Annabeth a head ache and she had a blueprint due the next Tuesday and she would like to get it out of the way before then. Thalia looked away.

"You just wait Annie. You just wait."

*:-D *;-D

Annabeth was still bored standing there reading an article about architecture trying to ignore the cold. "Annabeth! 5 minutes!" Thalia said excited. Annabeth waved her off.

"Annabeth." Thalia poked Annabeth in the side. Annabeth ignored her.

'Annabeth." Nothing.

"Annabeth."

"WHAT?"

Thalia smiled and pointed up to the stage. Annabeth put her phone away and looked up. There Smiling down at her was Percy. Annabeth knew her eyes were the size of dinner plates. "Percy." She murmured. Thalia gave her a little push. Annabeth took Percy's outstretched hand and he lifted her up onto the stage.

"Percy." She said staring at him for a minute. Percy grinned back.

"Happy New Year Wise Girl." He said and Annabeth flew into his arms. She ignore the fact he was still in his army uniform, she ignored the fact that he had a musty, dusty smell. All she cared about was the fact she was in Percy's arms again. She realized she was crying too.

Percy looked at her, wiping the tears away as they came. Then he took a step back a wide grin on his face. "Annabeth, you don't know how much I missed you. More than you can imagine." Annabeth wiped her tears away.

"Every day I was gone I thought about you and your smiling face. Now…" he took a step closer to Annabeth. 'Give me more adventures than we've had and do me the honor…" he fished into the pocket of his uniform. Annabeth felt a fresh wave a tears as she covered her mouth with her hands. This was not happening.

"Marry me Annabeth?" Percy asked, getting on his knee and looking up at her. Annabeth crying nodded, not being able to say anything. Percy jumped up just as the ten second countdown began.

He slipped the ring onto her finger as the five second mark passed. "Thank you." He murmured before kissing her deeply. Annabeth pressed herself to him and tangled her hands in his hair as he did. Cheering was all around them, ringing in the New Year.

Confetti rained down on them as they broke apart. Annabeth was smiling like crazy and so was Percy. All Annabeth wanted was to stay right there in his arms but they had to get off the stage. Percy got down first and caught her as she jumped holding her bridal-style. "Percy let me down." Annabeth laughed. Percy did but kept a firm arm around her waist.

"You knew didn't you Thalia?" Annabeth asked. Thalia nodded.

"How else would I get a leave? Lady Artemis respects Mr. Jackson here. He did save the world as we know it." Thalia said.

"Thank you." Annabeth said giving Thalia a hug.

"Now go enjoy each other' Thalia said before disappearing into the parting crowd.

"She'll have fun tonight." Percy said looking down at Annabeth who was admiring her new ring.

Annabeth smiled up at him. Percy leaned down to kiss her. Annabeth didn't protest she had missed him so much. "Home?" he asked.

"Home."

*:-D *;-D

Percy and Annabeth sat cuddled up together in bed. Percy had changed out of his uniform which was discarded on the floor and had changed into the clothes he had been dying to wear for months.

They could still hear the noise of the parting down in the streets but all that mattered to them was each other. Percy held lightly onto Annabeth's chin as he kissed her lightly again and again. Annabeth moved to put her cup of tea on the bed stand.

"Don't leave again." She murmured as Percy leaned to kiss her again.

"Don't' plan too. I got the job offer I wanted. I get to be the fencing coach over at Goode." Annabeth smiled at him.

"Good. I don't like it when you leave." Percy kissed her again.

"I won't have to leave. Unless I decide to go to fencing seminars which I would very much appreciate it if you came along Mrs. Jackson." He said taking her left hand and kissing it. Annabeth blushed.

"Only if I get to fence too." she said.

"Of course. You'll be my partner as always." Percy said. Annabeth smiled running a hand through his hair. Percy leaned in to kiss her again and they knocked heads together as there was a pounding on the door.

"Who? And Now?" Annabeth said throwing back the covers Percy following her.

Annabeth opened the door to find Thalia. "Can I crash here tonight? Thanks." Thalia brushed passed them and onto the couch pulling a blanket with her. Annabeth shook her head smiling.

"Come on." And Percy pulled her back to bed.

And there you go. A little new year's fluffiness. I really liked it. It came out exactly how I wanted it.
