IMPORTANT: I have read 'The Lost Hero' and 'The Son of Neptune' soooo… if you haven't and you choose to not get the story spoiled, then DO NOT READ THIS. Read it later ;)

SPOILER ALERT COMING UP!

Summary: A one-shot that describes the meeting with Percy's new friends, Hazel and Frank, and his old friends, Annabeth and Grover (etc.) It includes the reuniting of Hazel and Leo, Annabeth and Percy (OMG).

I'm still deciding whether or not to make this into a longer story. For now it's just a one-shot, so if you feel I should it extend it further please let me know.

PERCY

The first person the trio saw was the daughter of Athena, racing down the Argo II. Behind her was Jason, the son of Zeus and past praetor, Piper, the daughter of Aphrodite and Leo, the maker of the warship and the son of Hephaestus.

Percy's heart did a little dance as he saw the girl of his dreams (literally) run towards him with great haste. She had bags under her eyes probably from the journey and the battle plans. The state of her clothes weren't necessarily in good condition to wear for a reunion. But she didn't care. Percy didn't either.

She also didn't seem to care if Percy remembered her or not by the way she practically tackled him to the ground.

"Percy," she whispered, out of breath.

"Do I know you?" he joked. She realized her mistake and slowly got off of him. Her face blushed in embarrassment but also in frustration. She helped Percy stand up, apologizing again and again.

"Sorry," she said, shaking her head. "I should've known better."

Annabeth turned around slightly, to quickly brush away some of her tears that had welled up in her eyes. Some of which were happy tears, others were from sadness.

"It's okay," Percy said. Hazel and Frank stood back and so did the other trio, to give the couple some space. "Annabeth, I was kidding."

She looked up to his eyes in confusion. They both stared at each other longingly. She knew without a reply that he was telling the truth.

"How do you know me?" she asked, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.

"You were the only one I remembered in my past."

Annabeth stood silently as Percy waited for a reply or even a kiss.

"Do you know what we had before," she murmured. Piper waited in anticipation as the two took each other in. This was Annabeth's boyfriend. The person who she had been begging to reunite with since they had been separated. This was also the person that had captured her heart. It was kind of difficult picturing Annabeth in-love with a guy because of her tough attitude and smart tactics. But now seeing them together, Piper would be surprised if they ever break up. She could sense something permanent between them.

"I remember every single memory of you, daughter of Athena," Percy chuckled. "You fed me nectar, turned me from a gerbil to a human, held the sky with me, led me through the labyrinth and kept me mortal."

"Thank the gods," she breathed as she walked into his arms and melted into his hug.

"Oh, just kiss already."

Percy gazed up to see Clarisse, Grover and the rest of the campers exiting the warship.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" they chanted.

Percy looked down on Annabeth, who was still trying to take in that he was actually here.

"I've been waiting to see you," he murmured. Annabeth wrapped her hands around his neck like she did when they had their first real kiss. She glanced up to him with her stormy gray eyes.

"I've been searching for you. Shouldn't our roles be reversed?"

He laughed lightly.

"I had to search for you when you were taken hostage. Now it's your turn."

She punched him hard in the stomach. Percy crumpled to the ground in pain. She used to do that all the time when he was still invulnerable. It was a move that could practically knockout an opponent. Of course it was only okay when she did it before he disappeared.

"Percy!"

"I-I-I'm f-fine," Percy winced in pain. "Gods, Annabeth."

"What happened to the curse?"

"G-gone."

The campers both Greek and Roman started to surround Percy.

"Di immortales! The Tiber River! How can I be so stupid? I'm so sorry, Perce…"

Some laughs and whispers were shared in the crowd as Percy lay on the ground.

"Here, let me look at him," an Apollo kid volunteered. As he worked on Percy, Annabeth stayed close and held his hand. She comforted him as he was being treated. The crowd began to separate as Reyna and Jason reunited. Some Romans were eyeing the Greeks as the others tried to talk to them. Leo talked silently with Hazel as Frank fumed a few feet away from them. Jason spoke for Camp Half-Blood on behalf of Percy to Reyna.

"Okay, you're pretty much good to go. The nectar most likely healed any internal damage, but if you notice something weird going on, just tell me."

Annabeth helped Percy up as he thanked Tony, the Apollo kid.

He kept his arm around Annabeth's shoulders as she kept hers around his waist. While walking towards the two praetors, Annabeth leaned her head on his shoulder. Percy blushed as he felt her lips peck his cheek.

"I'm kind of disappointed you lost the curse of Achilles," she muttered.

"Why? I don't have to worry about the Fates."

"I was the only one who knew your Achilles' heel."

"Yeah," I said, quietly. "I was vulnerable to you and only you."

"I probably still am," she poked his stomach. Before they could catch up with Jason, Annabeth stopped the both of them and wrapped her arms around his neck. Percy sneakily wrapped his arms around her waist. He mischievously lifted the edge of her shirt by a small bit and tickled her skin. It was something that could've enticed Annabeth to slap him if he weren't her boyfriend.

"Tyson said you were about to say something to me when you Iris-messaged him."

"Well, you forgot to give something before you punched me in the stomach."

She laughed.

"Just say it, Seaweed Brain."

His ears turned bright red when she mentioned her nickname for him.

"Do it, Wise Girl."

She held his face as she connected her lips fully on his. He felt like he could just give his body up to Thanatos. The kiss still lingered on his lips as she pulled away slowly. Annabeth grabbed a handful of his hair and pulled him close.

"Say it."

Percy pressed his cheek against hers.

"Since I know I'm not going to go anywhere until I spit it out… I was going to tell Tyson 'Tell Annabeth, I love her."

Her eyes gleamed in satisfaction as he took her hand and continued their way to the two praetors.

She leaned over and replied,

"Tell that Kelp Head that I love him too. But if he ever leaves me again, I'll squeeze the life out of him."

"Got it."

Percy couldn't help smiling.
