Author's Notes: Welcome to my new story. Most part is Annabeth's point of view, by the 10th chapter hopefully it will be Percy's POV.

1. The Last Days of Camp
Life was good. We survived and peace is restored between two camps. These last weeks had been chaotic, but finally the reconstruction of cabins and camp was completed. Tomorrow, all the Athena's campers would return to our cabin and left cabin 3.
We had been living with Percy for over 3 weeks. Of course, Percy is more than happy. He loved seeing his cabin full of life and we got to sleep together in the same bed since there were not enough beds for all camper. Some were sleeping on the floor. Malcolm wasn't happy about our sleeping arrangement but you couldn't really say no to two of the seven.
Right now, I was on the beach watching the sea. This place can be so peaceful and life couldn't be better. Jason and Piper were right now on Camp Jupiter overseeing reconstructions and on a well deserved holiday. Hazel and Frank were here making bonds between both camps and Leo took off immediately as he got here to look for Calypso. Nico was in Italy with Reyna in a quest to get Imperial Gold. The first quest involving both camps officially.
The sun was finally setting and the view was just spectacular. I wondered what would happen next week as school starts. I would be a senior, my final year of high school and I had to start thinking in College applications, tours around campuses and…
"Hi, wise girl" said my boyfriend as he sat behind me with his long legs around me and my back so close to his chest.
"Hi, seaweed brain" I said as I leaned to rest on him. He took my hand on his and kissed my palm.
"What are you doing here?" said Percy as we both looked the sunset.
"Nothing. Just thinking" I said. Percy placed his chin on my shoulder and took a deep loud breathe.
"About what?" said Percy and kissed my cheek and returned his chin on my shoulder.
"Just about school. I haven't talked to my dad about returning or not to San Francisco" I said and Percy's arms surrounded me tightly.
"Well, don't go. Stay here" said Percy and I turned my eyes to see his.
"Do you want me here?" I said softly almost whispering. He gave me a big bright smile and kissed me tenderly on the lips. Percy was so sweet sometimes.
"Of course, I want you here. You are my girlfriend besides Jason and Camp Jupiter have the Bay Area covered" said Percy and I nodded at his words. He was right. I really had nothing really important to return to. I loved my dad but he was safer if I wasn't around.
"I will talk to my dad" I said and returned my eyes to the sea.
"You could stay here and I will come every weekend. We will train and Capture the Flag. It will be awesome" said Percy.
"I can live in the city" I said. I really loved Camp but I really wanted a normal high school experience.
"Sure?" said Percy.
"Sure. I sure will miss my dad but… I want to be close to you too" I said and blushed all the way. I turned to see his beautiful sea green eyes.
"So do I" said Percy and kissed me in the lips. After everything we had been through, this was the happy moments that took my breath away. We stared at each other for a couple of seconds just being happy and I returned my gaze to the almost gone setting sun.
"Maybe I should get an apartment nearby your place" I said and smiled to the thought of seeing Percy every day.
"The area is kind of expensive" said Percy and I could feel his body tensed in doubts.
"Don't worry about it" I said.
"I don't want you to get a job just to be near to me" said Percy and hugged me tighter. He looked to cute when he was preoccupied.
"I won't have too" I said.
"I don't want you to starve to pay the rent" said Percy and I knew that I had to say it now. I looked to him.
"Percy, with you being missing and the war… I haven't told you something" I said slightly nervously.
"What?" said Percy more nervously that me.
"On the spring my aunt grandmother died" I said softly trying hard not to think in the lovely lady who read me bedtime stories when I was little before my dad got married.
"Sorry to hear that" said Percy sadly and kissed my forehead. I smiled at his gesture.
"She had a long happy life, don't worry… well, she put me in her will and I received five millions of dollars" I said.
"You what?" said Percy really surprised.
"I have money, so I can rent anywhere I want" I said and Percy looked up with his mouth slightly opened thinking in the news.
"Wow… That's good, I guess" said Percy really happy for me but he was a bit strange.
"Are you OK?" I said a little concerned by him.
"Yeah, I am just a little shocked. You father isn't going to like me anymore" said Percy and looked at me.
"Why?" I said really confused.
"He will think I am for your money" said Percy smiling and I just pinched his arm.
"Ouch. I was joking" said Percy giggling at me. I laughed softly at him and touched his cheek.
"Silly seaweed brain" I said and kissed him fully on the lips. Since our time on Argo II, we were more affective and romantic at each other. We really looked like a normal teenager couple kissing on the sand and getting carried away.
After some minutes of a very steamy make up session, I saw the sky purple almost dark blue and a couple of stars on the sky. It was getting late and dinner was soon to start. Percy helped me to stand up and we walked to the pavilion holding hands.
"So will you go with me to school?" said Percy as we approached to the rest of the campers.
"Of course, I have to keep an eye on you. I don't want Hera to kidnap you again" I said with a big smile. Nothing and nobody would make Percy out of my side again.
"I love you" said Percy and kissed me briefly as some campers stared at us.
"I love you too" I said and we let go to walk to our tables to have dinner.
Our last days on camp were fun and entertaining. We trained, laughed and made pranks to the other cabins. Without notice, it was already time to pack and get back to the city.
