ONCE AGAIN, NONE OF THESE CHARACTERS BELONG TO ME. THEY BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN. THE STORYLINE IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS MINE.

So, with that out of the way... happy reading!

1 month later, proceeding the events of Annabeth Chase and the Poison of Tartarus…

It was Capture the Flag night. Camp Jupiter had sent Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Reyna, Hazel Levesque and Frank Zhang to participate in the game and to stay for a week. Percy was awfully excited to see them again and I hung back at the Athena cabin to let him surprise them. I looked out my window and saw Percy hiding behind a tree. He gave me the thumbs up and I grinned. I saw Jason walking at the front of the group, wearing the SPQR purple camp shirt. I took out binoculars and saw Percy take out his pen from his pocket. Percy pressed the button and it transformed into a sword. He jumped out from behind the tree and lashed out at Jason. Jason laughed and pulled out his own sword, blocking Percy's. Both of them laughed. I ran out to greet the others.

"It's so good to see you guys again!" I cried happily. Hazel and Piper gave me a hug.

"You too!" they screamed. I gave Reyna a fist-bump. Since Reyna was a praetor, I didn't think it was appropriate to give her a hug. I didn't want to know what would happen if I did. I glanced over at Percy and Jason, patting each other on the back. But there was one topic of conversation that caught my attention. Leo Valdez. I knew it was hard to talk about. He was alive, but with Calypso. No one had seen him since the defeat of Gaea. Chiron trotted out.

"Ah, the campers from Camp Jupiter. Capture the Flag is in an hour, mixed teams are allowed." he smiled at them and then left in the direction of the Big House.

"So I hear that the great Percy Jackson, son of Neptune, sorry Poseidon, got poisoned." said Jason. Percy winced, remembering it. I took Percy's hand.

"Let's go down to the bay. We can talk there." I suggested. They all agreed and we walked down to the bay. We ran down to the lake, and jumped in. It was cool and everyone was laughing and having fun. Percy was making waves for Jason to surf on and Piper and Hazel were splashing each other. Reyna was overseeing everything, making sure nobody did anything stupid. Every now and again, Hazel would gaze into the distance. I wonder if she knows. We heard the horn blow and I looked at Percy. Everyone got out and Percy dried them with his powers. "Come on! We'll be late for the game!" shouted Percy. He conjured up a wave and everyone stepped on. Percy directed the wave towards camp and the wave turned into mist. Someone threw us helmets.

"Percy Jackson, you're late. So your team will be the one you came in with. Annabeth, Hazel, Piper, Reyna and Jason are on your team." said Chiron. I looked at Percy, giving him a reassuring look. We would do fine. After all, we were the prophesized seven. "Take your positions!" cried Chiron. We took up the West side, by the river. I looked at Percy, waiting for him to say something.

"Okay, Jason and Piper flank right. Hazel and Frank, go down the middle. Annabeth and I will go around, catch them from behind." said Percy. Jason grinned and took out his sword, the one given to him by Juno. I strung my bow up and clipped an arrow to it. Frank took his sword out as well. The daughter of Pluto took her Imperial Gold cavalry sword off her belt, and it was much longer than Percy's sword. Piper took out Katoptris, the infamous knife given to Helen of Troy. Percy took Riptide out of his pocket and uncapped it. The ballpoint pen transformed into a sword. I grinned. That would never get old. "Alright, let's go kick some butt." shouted Percy. We raced out, swords poised and arrows flying. I noticed Clarisse at the front, leading her Ares cabin.

"Feel like taking on Clarisse?" I asked.

"I think Jason's got it handled," Percy replied, glancing over at Clarisse and Jason, who locked swords. I nodded at him and he grinned. I turned to get up from our hiding place but two Hermes campers had their swords at our necks. "Oh come on." mumbled Percy. I elbowed him. "What? We should have had more people." Then I felt wind above us. I looked up. A huge gold dragon flew over the camp. A familiar face peered down.

"Where are the tacos?" asked the friendly voice. The campers from Camp Jupiter all cheered and whooped.
