AN: I'm going to write a few one-shots about New Year's Eve at Camp Half-Blood. It's set after TLO but before TLH. There will be a few different POVs on the night. This first one is from Annabeth's POV. The next one will be from Nico's. I think the others will be from Travis' and Rachel's POV. Yes, I am picking random people. But we'll see. Tell me if you've got any ideas. I think I'm going to write three or four of these.
Anyways, enjoy! Happy (Early) New Year to all of you! :D
Annabeth's POV
It truly was an unforgettable night. Everyone was here, waiting for the fireworks. Even my best friend, Thalia and her Hunters were here. Everyone was laughing and smiling and just having a great time.
I stood next to Percy. He put his arm around my shoulders. I looked up and smiled at him. I was happy to be spending my New Year's Eve with him.
"Nice night, huh?" he asked.
I nodded and put my head on his shoulder, "Definitely. The stars are beautiful tonight. And I can't wait to see the fireworks."
We stood there in a comfortable silence for a few minutes. Then Percy looked to his left and I followed his gaze. I spotted Nico di Angelo. The son of Hades was standing alone. He looked content, though.
"Annabeth, I'm going to talk to Nico for awhile, okay?" Percy asked for my permission.
"Sure," I said. "Say hello to Nico from me."
I watched as Percy approached Nico. They talked for a little while and Nico was smiling. It was nice to see everyone in such a good mood.
"Hey you," I heard a voice from behind me.
I turned around and saw Thalia grinning. I went over to hug her.
"Hey to you too Thals," I replied. "It's an amazing New Year's Eve, isn't it?"
She nodded, standing beside me, "Of course. Where's Percy?"
I pointed to where my boyfriend was standing with Nico, "There he is. Seems like the two are having a good time."
Thalia chuckled, "Be careful Annabeth, don't let Nico steal Percy from you."
"You're ridiculous!" I laughed.
"Thalia! Come over!" one of the Hunters called my best friend.
"Well, I better get going. Happy New Year, Annabeth," she said, hugging me before walking off to join the Hunters.
"Happy New Year, Thalia!" I called.
Just then, Percy came back and stood by my side again, "So, it's nearly midnight. Will I get my midnight kiss?"
I hit his arm playfully, "What do you think?"
He pretended to think about it and I shook my head, amused.
"Hm well, it's midnight in a few more seconds. I'm not taking no as an answer," he grinned.
I smiled at him and closed the gap between our lips. I could feel Percy smile into the kiss.
"Happy now, Seaweed Brain?" I asked, slightly breathless.
He nodded and gave me a hug, "Happy New Year, Wise Girl."
"Happy New Year to you too, Percy."
AN: What do you think? I'm not sure about the ending, but I think it's okay.
