They lay side by side on a table in the Poseidon cabin, the cap and the pen listening to the muffled laughter of their owners. The pen as shiny as ever with Αναζήτηση engraved on the side and the cap with its blue stripes not yet faded, looking both as though they were brand new.
They knew that things would be quite different now that Percy and Annabeth had finally admitted their feelings towards one another; the pen and the cap had seen the signs of young love even before the couple had considered them.
They had come to enjoy one another's company after many days of being stuffed in the same pack as their owners carried them throughout their long quests, but during the war their visits had become considerably less frequent.
Percy and Annabeth's voices slowly grew louder as they made their way towards where Riptide and the Yankees cap were resting. Finally the cap was scooped up and looped around Annabeth's wrist while the pen was dropped into Percy's pocket.
The owners shared a passionate kiss before walking out of the Poseidon cabin hand in hand, the cap dangling in such as way that it brushed the pocket in which the pen resided.
As Percy and Annabeth walked towards the Big House, the pen and the cap each came to the happy realization that they would be seeing quite a lot of each other in the years to come.
