(I felt that Rick Riordian didn't do a good job writing the Percy and Annabeth reunion in the Mark Of Athena so I'm rewriting it.)

[Annabeth's POV]

We are about to drive into the Roman territory. Leo is making sure the "WE COME IN PEACE" flags were visible a million miles from the Argo II, giving me a splitting headache. I know the importance of the quest and all but my mind was focusing on my boyfriend, Percy. Percy. Percy was down there somewhere. Being the daughter of Athena, it wasn't the wise thing to think about. I kept feeling an unusual chill coming down my spine whenever I was alone, as if a ghost were running it's cold hands against my back. It gave me a really uneasy feeling and I almost ordered Leo to turn the ship around, but Percy was down there somewhere. I worried if Percy remembered me. After Hera, the most ANNOYING goddess of all, wiped Percy's memory, took him and plucked him in the Roman camp. In return the Greeks have gotten Jason, memory also wiped, from the Roman camp. It took a lot to figure all of that out.

The Roman camp looks huge and Jason described everything well. I can tell which lake was which and what statue was each God. Jason seemed perfect. Too perfect. I had a feeling Jason was going to betray us any second to the Romans. Jason was a son of Jupiter. The Roman side of Zeus.

Then, there was Jason's girlfriend, a Greek who has grown to be one of my best friends. She was practicing her charmspeak, a power of being a daughter of Aphrodite, the love goddess. Leo was the only guy on this ship I couldn't quite figure out. He was a goofball, yet seemed depressed at the same time.

"Guys we're about to land!" Leo cried over the loudspeakers.

I ran out of my cabin to find the Argo II only about 15 feet from the Roman camp. I almost was about to leave the ship without my weapon. My mind was set on finally seeing Percy after 8 months. I saw Piper taking her knife and I quickly grabbed my dagger.

"We come in peace! We just want to talk!" Leo said over the bullhorn.

The Romans took out their weapons, then Reyna (Jason described her well) the praetor of the camp, ordered them to lower their weapons. She was wearing a long purple cloak (the symbol of praetor) and walked towards the ship. Jason came out of the ship first wearing a purple cloak to symbolize Jason's former rank as second praetor over a Greek Camp Half Blood T-shirt. Murmurs came along about Jason betraying them.

"Jason. We see you have returned." Reyna said her eyes scanning Jason. Piper came out next and ran to Jason's side.

"Yeah, missed you too, Reyna. This is Piper." Jason told Reyna. Leo came running out next imitating a Pegasus.

"WASSUP, ROMANS?!" Leo shouted.

I cringed. If things even were going well, Leo might have just ruined everything. right there.

I was the last person to step out. I walked up to Reyna. I scanned her and she did the same for me.

"So you're the daughter of Mirvena, my mistake, Athena," Reyna finally said, her chin raised high.

"You have a problem with that?" I asked. I knew it wasn't the right thing to say, but I felt pride. The Romans were never really found of Athena. My mother deserves more respect from the Romans.

I saw someone pushing through the crowd, wearing a purple cloak. Sign of praetor. They got a new praetor already? He made his way to the front of the crowd. I saw his face. Percy.
