Yeah, guys this is my rewrite of "Do You Still Love Me". I know it's not finished, but I can't continue knowing that it's become just trash. So I kind of changed the whole storyline cause I did drift from the original concept. For those of you who don't know me, technically this would be my 2nd Percy Jackson fanfic. I'm still only 13, so I'm still becoming a better writer. Anyways, I don't own the characters or settings of PJO, but Rick does.

I Chat with George Washington

-Annabeth's Third Person-

Dark, stormy gray eyes peered into the sky. The contrasting colors complimented each other so well. The sun crashed onto the fading ocean. The blue of the sky slowly vanished only to be replaced by the fierce colors of the sunset. It wasn't long before that disappeared as well. The blue returned, but much much darker. The only source of light being the moon and it's reflection on the ocean.

The cool sand refreshed her back and her bare feet. Annabeth Chase gazed up at the stars. Her arm slowly raised. Her hand grazed over a certain constellation. It beat the gleam of Zoë Nightshade. The Hero of Olympus continued to fight up in the skies. His trustworthy sword, Riptide, tight in his hands.

She hoped to join him one day. She doubted she could. Percy had the best characteristics of a hero. Humble, trustworthy, loyal, selfless. She could never be that good of a person. She'd never be able to join him.

Tears streamed down her face. She tried not to think about him, but that'd be cruel. A death is not meant to be forgotten. Especially not his death.

Flashback

Annabeth waved her drakon bone sword in the air. The Stymphalian birds couldn't care less. She recalled the first time they fought them. She and Percy had confused them with a loud and obnoxious noise that was Chiron's portable stereo. Where would she get such a sound this time?

A loud shrill shriek did the job. The sound could've traveled all the way to Mars and back again. The birds fell to the ground. She heard an outraged war cry from Jason as he bolted towards a giant. She saw the kneeling form of Apollo trying to do something. She noticed the large crowd gathering 'round the God.

Her heart dropped, she was unsure of why though. Her eyes told of a storm and her expression was daring. No monster crossed paths with her. By each step, her heart grew heavier and heavier.

She came to a halt. Tears couldn't form in her eyes. It was so unbelievable. She shoved the crowd aside finally reaching the front.

Only a few more steps and she'd reach him. An arm yanked her back. "Annabeth, don't interfere. Apollo's trying to do something. It's going to be okay. Percy will be fine." Piper charmspoke.

Annabeth found herself shaking her head. The words spilled out, "No, he won't." She hated herself for saying it, but she couldn't help it. It just happened. She'd lost control. But it was true, what she said. She knew it. Just refused to admit it.

Apollo put his head to Percy's bloodstained body. His face grew dark.

Nico announced it, "He's dead." Even he choked up at it. At that Piper's arm grew limp. Annabeth pulled my arm from her grasp and jumped down to Percy. She forced his eyes open. Her world came crashing down when she was met by white. She shook his body. "PERCY!! Do-don't leave me! I'll happily live in New Rome, just please! Open your eyes. For me?"

Hazel put her hand on the shoulder of the girl in despair. "Annabeth. He's had a tough life. The happy ending he could've gotten if he lived? You and I both know it would never in a million years make up for what it took to get there. In Elysium, the pain would all be worth it. Just let him go. Send him off so that he can go with a light heart. Please."

Flashback End

That was only 8 hours and 7 minutes ago. "Percy, I hope you're happy in Elysium."

Percy's voice spoke inside her head, "I am."

"What are you doing up there?"

"Just eating some blue cookies."

"Percy I'll never love someone else. I promise."

"Don't. Annabeth. Life's only worth living with someone you love. Stop moping and live a happy life! Don't make me feel bad for having such a great time up here, while you're all sad. Just find someone else, be happy. For me, Wise Girl?"

Annabeth didn't answer.

"Please?"

"I can't, Percy."

"Yes you can! Please. This is my final wish."

Annabeth hesitated, "Maybe."

"Good enough." Percy sighed. The voice left her head.

She picked herself up from the sand and trudged back to her cabin.

-Percy's First Person-

"Hello, there." A familiar man took a seat at the bench. "My. It is quite nice seeing somewhere besides the Field of Punishmebrs and Asphodel. It is also quite nice taking a break from building bridges and connections between the two."

"Daedalus?!"

"The one and only. Say, has Annabeth become a better architect than me?"

I shrugged, "I guess. She's the official architect of Olympus, but I never got to see the result."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll be able to see it one way or another. Anyways, I heard you died."

"Yeah, why else would I be here? Speaking of, how are you here? Aren't you supposed to be building bridges and whatever. I thought you were only allowed to visit Perdix and Icarus?"

"Doesn't matter. It looks like you haven't gotten much wiser yet."

"Death is eternal."

"I know."

"Gods live for an eternity."

"Unless they fade."

"You know what I mean."

"I do."

"Time goes by fast for them."

"Right."

"So time goes by fast for the dead too. It won't be longer before your other friends will come and join you. And besides don't you have other friends here? Just enjoy death!"

"Oh."

"I must get going. Goodbye Percy."

"Bye."

I pondered over his words for a bit.

"You are aware that you're friend Dadus or whatever's words are very true?"

"Daedalus."

"Right. So you are having trouble with death, are you?"

"I suppose."

"My friend, Abe, told me this 'And in the end, it is not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.' I'm sure you've heard of him. Abraham Lincoln?"

"I did."

"Should I bring him?"

"No, it's fine."

"Alrighty then. I don't understand why you dislike Abe so much."

"No that's not it."

"Nonsense! Anyways what I'm trying to say is, you've had a pretty adventurous life, correct?"

"You could say that."

"You've lived long enough then. Death is a lot like life. Just in a better place with less worries. So I guess it really is nothing like life. You should just live your death. Don't sit around feeling bad for yourself and go live a lively life!"

For some reason his very confusing words made so much sense! "You're right!"

"Abe also once said 'I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.' Live by his words. How about it? Stop regretting death and continue living your death happily!"

"Is it easy?"

"My of course not! You lived your life regretting things right?"

I wasn't sure what life he was talking about since he called death, life. I decided he meant the regular one where he isn't living. "Yeah."

"And now you're told to stop doing that, of course it'll be hard. I'll give you some advice though. Find something you enjoy and will take up your free time. For me it's learning words people use nowadays. What's it called casual words?"

I was honestly surprised. I thought he'd be leading some spy classes being the general and spy during the Revolutionary War. Yes, I knew about it. I mean George Washington was a legendary Son of Athena. I've heard about him.

"Anyways, find something you can do. Death goes by fast as long as you aren't just sitting around all the time. Remember the four years before the Titan War you fought. That went by fast cause you were doing stuff. Same goes for death." He checked his watch. "Looks Like I've got to go now. I've got some spy classes I have to teach in two minutes. You should come!"

At that he strolled away whistling. Who knew George Washington was so... stupid? No, that was impossible. He was the second best war strategist of all time coming close behind Athena. Crazy, that was the word.

I decided to go see how Annabeth was doing. I watched from above and realized that a year had already passed. Time really did move fast here. She was slowly beginning to accept my death in her reality and slowly going back to her life. I smiled.

Yeah guys. I'll wrap it up here. I hope you enjoyed: Review, Follow, and Favorite for more! Bye!
