A\N: Hello people! This story is basically about what our favorite Greek and Roman heroes are doing after the war. It will contain mostly family fun, fluff, friendship and so on. The main characters will be different in every chapter but mainly Percabeth and Jasper since they are my favorite. There will also be Thalico (because I simply love them!), Leyna, Frazel and maybe some Traite but if you want this last one please give me ideas.
Every chapter will be like a different one-shot. No major plot or anything-just something to distract me from that hellhound called school.
Enjoy!
As normal as it can be
Annabeth's POV:
For the first time in nearly a year I felt completely happy. The war was over, we managed to survive it. Everything was going back to its normal stance and that made me a little too exited for my own liking but I couldn't find it in my self to care. We all had a reason to be happy.
We were in Argo II and on our way back to camp Half-blood. The Romans were preparing to transfer their whole camp next to ours. Reyna had said that everything will be ready in three or four days. I was utterly confused that New Rome could be 'packed' for such a short time but Percy assured me that they were pretty capable of doing it. I didn't question him anymore.
Everyone was practically buzzing with excitement, even Jason, who was with us to help us prepare the land for camp Jupiter. Of course, he couldn't be separated with Piper now but he would never admit it. Romans and their pride.
''We're almost home Percy.'' I broke the silence. We were in my room right now, because there was no such thing as privacy in his. Leo was over his head these days and literally couldn't sit still for more than ten seconds. It ended up with Piper charmspeaking him into falling asleep. So now I and Percy were comfortable cuddled on my bed, hugging each other, just savoring the moment. We were in no rush anymore.
''I know. You have no idea how much I missed that place.'' He answered. I could hear his smile even though I couldn't see his face.
I smiled too, unable to stop myself.
''I missed you too, Wise girl.'' He then added making me giggle uncontrollably. I turned towards him.
''Someone is being cheesy. Maybe the stay in Tartarus had messed up your already messed-up brain.'' I mocked him unable to stop laughing. He just shrugged and smiled back at me.
''My cheesy Seaweed brain.'' I sighed dramatically but his grin just got wider.
''But you like me like this.'' He replied with such confidence that I wanted to argue, but he was right. I wouldn't admit it to him though.
''Just shut up and kiss me already.'' I hissed and he didn't wait for another invitation.
Our moment was shortly interrupted by a knock on the door.
''Um guys, sorry for interrupting you but we are landing within five minutes.'' Piper announced through the door. ''I'm leaving now.''
Her steps fade away in the distance.
''We should go up there.'' I sighed and tried to stand up but Percy didn't let me.
''She said five minutes. One to get presentable…''he kissed my cheek. ''one to get to the upper deck…'' his lips trailed to my neck. ''That leaves-what?-three minutes? Three whole minutes.'' He whispered in my ear and I was completely distracted by now.
''Mmm, but don't you want to see the camp? Not that I'm complaining…'' I couldn't finish because, suddenly, his lips were on mine.
We stayed like that for a little longer until I broke apart and stood up.
''Come on, the whole camp wants to see you. You don't want to disappoint them, right?'' I teased.
He just groaned while I pulled him up.
''Fine.'' He tried to stay annoyed but the smirk was like permanently glued to his face. He was gorgeous.
As soon as we reached the deck, we saw that everyone else was already there. Leo was navigating the ship which was flying near the ocean surface.
Piper was standing by the railing with closed eyes. She was smiling while the breeze was pulling back her hair. Jason was hugging her from behind, his head resting on top of hers and staring at the distance with peaceful face. He whispered something to Piper and they both laughed then.
They were the perfect example that Greeks and Romans could work together. Of course, it won't be so easy once we are all at one place but everything will work out. We had trust in each other now, something which wasn't there the last time.
As the ship landed at Long Island's beach, a loud cheering was heard from the woods. The voices were getting closer and closer by the second. When every one of us had touched the sand, a loud crowd emerged from the direction of the camp. The Stolls were leading them.
''Perce!'' Travis and Connor both shouted and lunged at him simultaneously. The three of them fall to the ground and started laughing like crazy. It was pretty weird.
And then it all started.
Campers were hugging us, congratulating us, asking for details and so on. Leo was like a kid on Christmas morning. His cabin mates had gathered around him and were grinning and congratulating him. He was at home. Piper was greeted by most of the Apollo boys which made Jason narrow his eyes and encircle her shoulders protectively.
I was talking with my half-siblings when Connor Stoll spoke up, gaining everybody's attention.
''People, we need to celebrate!'' a loud cheer erupted.
''And celebrate we will but first, we need to end the official part.'' Travis continued.
''To the bonfire!'' the sons of Hermes shouted and took off towards it.
After we obeyed the traditions and burned the burial shrouds our cabins had made for us in our absence, Chiron stepped forward along with Mr. D.
''I want to greet all of you for your success.'' Started the centaur. ''Percy, welcome back. I'm grateful to see that you are in one peace.''
Everyone laughed at that.
''I'm grateful too.'' Percy commented then. ''It's nice to be back at home.''
The happy mood affected the magical flames of the fire and they reached almost twenty meters. I think it's the highest level it had ever reached.
''We have every reason to celebrate. Percy, Jason, Annabeth, Piper, Leo, along with Hazel Levesque and Frank Zang experienced so many unpleasant things, literally gone through Tartarus and back, because of this quest.'' Percy squeezed my hand tighter. ''I announce the quest as successfully finished, the seven of you are the greatest heroes of Olympus. Now off you go!'' Chiron finished.
We all cheered loudly, making the flames crack and change colors.
And then Mr. D came forward and looked at everyone before speaking:
''I thought that you would be dead. But you're not. So job well done and whatever.'' He finished but even his grumpy mood couldn't bring us down now.
We stood up and bowed and then took off towards the mess hall.
It was around midnight when we headed back to the bonfire for the traditional sing along after dinner. It had been so long since we had done this, since we had reason to sing! We were singing louder than ever before. The air was filled with laughter and talking. No one bothered to seat with his cabin mates; everyone was seated with his friends.
Percy and I stopped singing and he suddenly hugged me tight. His face was split apart by his grin. I was sure that I was mirroring his expression.
''We're home! I'm finally back at home!'' he exclaimed stupidly.
''Yeah, Seaweed brain, we're home. And if you ever ditch us like that so help me gods…'' but he put a hand on my mouth.
''I won't leave you on purpose, I promise. Deal?'' he asked sheepishly.
''Deal.'' I answered and kissed him with a smile.
We were again interrupted by Rachel Dare.
''Hey guys! I'm so happy to see you're alive, Percy.''
''Hey Rache…wait! You won't tell us another great prophecy, right?'' Percy looked at her worriedly. ''I have been engaged in enough of these for a lifetime.''
''I don't think so. Now, it comes the boring part.'' She reassured us both.
''Thank the gods!'' I exclaimed and we all laughed.
''So everything is back to normal?'' Percy asked in amazement.
I watched how Piper and Jason were laughing at Leo while he was covered in dirt on the ground, pouting. A little away from them Travis was grinning at Katie Gardner while she was scowling him for something. Some Aphrodite kids had circled them and were giggling lightly. A great mood was spread all over camp Half-blood.
''As normal as it can be around here.'' I smiled and looked Percy in the eyes.
We were demigods after all: normal was a different thing for us.
