After the end

Chapter 1: I lose a race

I took off after Annabeth as soon as she called for a race. I sped down the hill trying to catch up with her. I shouldn't have even tried; it all went downhill from there. And, when I say downhill, I mean it. I was about half-way down the hill when, all of a sudden, I tripped over a huge tree branch. I fell right on my back and I heard a laugh from the bottom of the hill, which I knew was Annabeth. I closed my eyes as I listened to the sound of her footsteps back up the hill. When I thought she was close, I peeked one eye open and grabbed her by the arm and pulled her down. I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a light peck on the cheek, as I was scared that there was anyone else around. I whispered into her ear, "Ready to go?"

She laughed and said, "Sure Seaweed-Brain, just as long as you admit that I won, I'm all good."

"Then let's go!"

We hopped into the Camp-Half Blood Van, driven by Argus and we headed off to New York City. I hadn't seen the place since right after the battle, so I was a little scared to see what it looked like. In comparison to how it looked last time, it looked good. Most of what was destroyed had been cleaned up. I noticed that there were still a few statues missing ( from when Annabeth and I turned them on using Daudelus' Plan 23) but other than that, everything looked fine. I was relieved, my city was fine.

We got to my apartment , where we met my mom and my new step-dad. My mom immediately greeted us, "Hey Kids! How are you guys!" We answered our usual fines, and my mom, being the cool mom that she is, sensed that we wanted a few moments alone so she calmly said, "All right, you kids have fun."

We went to my room just after I grabbed some water for the flower that Calypso had given me last summer. I wondered how she was, I'd been sad when I'd left her, but now, I knew it was worth it as I glanced towards Annabeth. She noticed the cup in my hands and I decided it was time to tell her the whole truth, about Calypso and everything else that I hadn't told her. "Well, Annabeth…"

A/N: Well, tell me your thoughts! Loved it hated let me know! Everyone's opinion counts… If you guys like it, I'll post a chapter 2! Also.. any title suggestions? This one is really crappy….
