Okay, I'll admit it. I am nervous. And not just a little nervous. I am a lot nervous, as if I'm going on a quest or something. What if he doesn't remember me? What if I ran up to kiss him and he said, who are you? That would just break my heart. I don't think that will happen though. Jason, who was in the same position as Percy, has his memory back and he remembers his sweetheart, Reyna. So doesn't that mean Percy will have his memory back?
Stay calm, Annabeth. Stay calm. But I can't! How would you feel if you were reuniting with your boyfriend that you haven't seen in months, and there's a chance he might have no clue who you are? Panicky, right? Exactly.
When I see him, I feel like I could faint. There he is, standing five meters in front of me, his arms slung around a boy who looks about thirteen and a girl who looks a few years older than him. Oh gods. It's him. It's him. It's really him. Percy is here, standing five- now four- meters in front of me. He sees me to, and his sea-green eyes light up. Oh, how I've missed those sea-green eyes.
"Annabeth!" he calls.
Oh my gods! He knows my name! Gods, I sound like a seventeen year old mortal girl whose worst problem is that popular boy everyone loves.
"Percy!" I call back.
Ten feet. Nine feet. Eight feet. Seven feet. Six feet. Five feet. Four feet. Three feet. Two feet. And now I have my arms squeezed around him, scared if I let go that that blasted Hera -curse her- will take him away again.
"You-you remember me?" I choke out. Oh gods, I've begun to cry. Stop being so poignant, stupid girl!
"Of course," Percy says, brushing a stray strand of blonde hair out of my face.
"Do you remember everything?" I ask.
"Most things. There may be a few things I don't remember. But they're probably unimportant," he says. He grins. "Wise girl."
I laugh through my tears. "Seaweed Brain. I've missed you!"
"I've missed you too," he says, although it most likely isn't true. He probably only started to remember me a week ago. You can't miss what you don't remember, right?
But I don't argue, of course. Well, I can't. Because I crash my lips into his, savoring the way they feel. It's been a while since I've kissed him. I almost forgot what it felt like. We must be like this for a good ten seconds until I hear someone give a small cough. We pull away, both of us blushing.
"Uh, sorry," Percy says, embarrassed. He clears his throat. "Annabeth, this is Frank, son of Mars." He motions to the Asian, baby-faced boy. "And Hazel, daughter of Pluto." He motions to the beautiful, brown-skinned girl. "Frank and Hazel, this is Annabeth."
"Daughter of Athena," I say, shaking their hands. "Nice to meet you."
"You too," Hazel says.
"We'll turn around now so you can have some… privacy," Frank says.
Hazel laughs and they both turn their backs on us. Percy grins at me. Our lips collide yet again.
"I love you, Seaweed Brain" I mutter into his lips.
"Love you too," he says.
I grin into his lips, and so does he. I hope that this moment will never, ever end.
