A/N: Hey guys! So I was asked to add a little bit more to this story and I decided I would so here it is. This is dedicated to all of my readers and HermioneJMalfoy who has read every single one of my stories and has never said a bad thing about any of it even though I think some of it is horrible. Thank you so much!

There we stood, at the top of Mount Olympus. The sun was out and shining, not a cloud in the sky. The seven of us stood in the center of it all. We were bloody, bruised, battered, and tired. There was golden dust from monsters everywhere you looked.
"It's over," Annabeth whispered, as if it was too good to be true. "I can't believe it! It's finally over!" she yelled. We all started cheering. Just then, it started raining. Yet we continued to laugh and cheer, the cold droplets washing away the blood, mud, and dust. It was as if it was washing away any memory that this stupid war happened, for which I was thankful.
I walked towards the edges, a smile playing on my lips as I watched my friends celebrate. My mind flashed back to everything we've been through. I remember when I first met Annabeth, my first quest, all of my other quests, the Titan War, meeting Hazel and Frank, going to Alaska, reuniting with Annabeth and meeting the rest of the seven, traveling from New Rome to Old Rome and Greece, and defeating Gaea. Then I remembered all of our smaller, insignificant moments. Grover and I racing to the top of the rock climbing wall, watching Travis prank Katie, my first archery lesson with Chiron, sparring with Clarisse, hanging out with Nico, talking to Thalia, my mom's blue cookies, spending time with Frank and Hazel, Piper yelling at Leo, sitting on the beach with Annabeth, everything. Those moments may have seemed insignificant, but to me, it's what kept me going. It was what I was fighting for. Those moments where we could be semi-normal.
"You look happy," Annabeth stated as she walked over to me.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I replied.
She smiled and took my hand, "Come on, Seaweed Brain, let's go celebrate with them." She pulled my hand yet I didn't move. "What's wrong?" She asked worriedly.
"Nothing, it's just that seeing all of this makes me feel like we can do anything," I reply.
"Of course we can, Seaweed Brain. We always could, we just had to believe it," Annabeth said. "Now come on."
"Go ahead. I'll catch up with you," I said as I gave her a kiss on the forehead and pushed her towards the others.
I watched as they laughed, danced and cheered. I saw Piper as she spun in circles with her arms spread wide, head towards the sky, and wet hair flying. I saw Frank and Hazel messing around, chasing each other. I saw Jason and Leo screaming at the top of their lungs. "WE WON! IT'S OVER!" And I watched as I saw Annabeth run over to them.
I just watched for a few more minutes until Annabeth called my name again. I ran over to her and pulled her into a hug then kissed her right on the lips. We stayed like that for what felt like forever. We pulled apart and I looked at her right in the eyes. And then I knew that she was who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
That was when Leo decided it would be a good idea to throw mud at us and yell, "Hey, lovebirds!"
"Oh you're so gonna get it Valdez," I laugh then started throwing mud. Soon enough we had an all out mud war.
People say that demigods don't live to be very old. I used to think so too. But in that moment, on top of Mount Olympus in the pouring rain, I felt powerful, energized, alive. And I knew that we would live forever. In people's lives and stories. We were infinite.
