A/N: Hello, people of Fanfiction. I'm still here! Still alive! And yes, I will FINALLY update my other stories. I'll be focusing on my 15 surprises (THG) chapter, then, Aphrodite's blog post, and finally, another Nico di Angelo poem.
Also, this is dedicated to HecateA, who wrote at least two tragedy Percabeth Tartarus one shots, but is still one of us hoping fangirls. And Keeta, who was the first to hear this idea.
Warning: I am not the best with kissing scenes.
Disclaimer: I am an early-teenage girl. How would anybody think that I'm RR

The giant war has ended. It's over. Well, for now. We can all breathe again. Both camps are being repaired for the damage they caused each other. Annabeth was happy to oversee both projects (naturally). Athena was pretty upset that Minerva nearly disowned Annabeth. But they made up and they cried a little when they thought they were alone.
"Hey, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth sat down next to me, smiling. "Hey." It was a little out of character for her to be so happy this soon, but we should all be glad we won. Even if the Romans caused us a few casualties before the real war.
"Doesn't this look familiar?" I nod, "Yeah, us sitting here after the war. Except there's no blue cupcake now." she stares at me, as if waiting for me to get something, "What?" "This is the second year in a row you've forgotten your birthday." "Oh. Sorry. Happy Anniversary, Wise Girl" she smirks, "Happy birthday and anniversary, Seaweed Brain" she kisses me and I really don't notice a thing. When we pull apart, I notice a blue cupcake on the table. "It's chocolate, this time" she says, pushing the cupcake to me. "Are we repeating history, Annie?" "Don't call me 'Annie'. And I prefer to think that we're making it, don't you?" I nod.
We eat the cupcake together in comfortable silence. And I suddenly remember something incredibly important, "Who had an oath?" She looks at me, "What?" "You know, 'an oath to keep with a final breath' if no one had an oath and died, is someone going to?" She thinks for a few seconds. "Not necessarily. Someone could make an oath or promise that they will keep until they fulfill it or until death. Why?" "Well, I can't shake the fact that involves us." She looks slightly confused. "Why do you think so?" "Well..." I get down on one knee and she gasps.
"I know we're only 17 and that we might get killed at any point in time, but I think that maybe buildings aren't the only permanent things you've created. You were the one that initiated this. And we wouldn't be this now if you didn't. So, Annabeth Chase, we can wait, but can we make it official?" Pulling the ring out of my pocket I smile and say, "Can we be permanent?" She smirks, "I thought we already were, Seaweed Brain" I get up and put the ring on her finger. And she kisses me again.
"Look what we have here." We pull apart and look to the side. Clarisse is standing there with a much bigger group of beings than before. "You know what to do! To the lake!" everyone, including Romans and gods (is that Athena over there?) carry us to the lake, like last year. Making sure we were not too far apart. And they throw us in.
We didn't get wet. I create a bubble around us and you know what happens after that.
And it was [one of] the best underwater kisses of all time.
