I couldn't help it! I had to write a new story! Enjoy!

Annabeth POV

I was so excited that was going to camp year round again. The monsters had gotten extremely worse since we defeated Gaea last summer. We found out Leo was alive and had found Calypso. Him along with Piper, Jason, and Nico were staying at camp year round. Reyna, Hazel, and Frank stayed at camp Jupiter. I visited them every weekend to get a break from all of the monsters and to catch up on things.

Percy stayed with his mom. Since Percy came home she has taken up cooking to hide Percy's scent from monsters. Although if she didn't cook for a few days one or two monsters would try to eat Percy but they were always minor, like last week a hydra scorched a tree in his front of his apartment building.

I was very excited to see Percy again. We haven't seen each other in person since I went back to California, but we Iris messaged every night. Man that boy was expensive! But he's worth it. I was also going to see my mortal friend Lexi. When I moved from Virginia to California Lexi moved to New York. We kept in touch via phone because I couldn't Iris message her. (Thank gods! I would be broke if I could!)

I looked around my now empty room. I felt like I was forgetting something. I reached my hand up to my neck. My necklace was gone. I frantically searched the room when I heard giggling behind me. I turned around and saw my step brothers holding my camp necklace. They were so dead!

When I saw them they froze with fear. No one was allowed to touch my necklace -Percy was the only exception but he knew not to mess with it-. Matthew and Bobby stood up slowly as I stalked towards them. Matthew handed me the necklace. "Run." I told them. They ran away before I could knock their skulls in. They knew now better than ever not to mess with me, but they still prank me. One time Bobby put a spider in the bathroom and dad had to literally pull me off of Bobby once I found out it was him.

When I securely placed the necklace back on she counted the beads to make sure all of them were there. One was missing. The one that had a trident on it. From Percy's first summer at camp. It was my favorite.

Tears started falling down my face in sadness that I had lost it. Then tears powered by anger ran down my face. I let out a battle cry. I ran to their room and picked them both up by their collars and pushed them up against the wall. Not hard enough to hurt them but hard enough to tell them I meant business. "Where is it!?" I yelled at them. They knew exactly what I was talking about. I saw it in their eyes. They knew it was my favorite, but they had enough guts to face my wrath. I admired them for that, but now wasn't the time for admiration.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Matthew yelled back.

"Don't lie to me! Tell me where it is!" I screamed to them.

Bobby was crying, but Matthew was still holding up fairly well. "Never!" He screamed back.

Soon I felt my father's arms wrap around my waist pulling me away from my step brothers. His gesture was made to pull me away from them but it made me think about when Percy did that. It made me angrier. The only other time I was angrier than this was when I found out Hera took Percy away from me. "Tell my where it is!" I screamed at them once more.

My father was pulling me away but I held onto the collars of their shirts pulling them with me. "Never!" Matthew yelled again. Bobby was still crying.

"What did you take!?" Dad asked them over Bobby's crying.

"The bead on my necklace from Percy's first summer at camp." I said deadly calm.

Everyone froze. Even Bobby stopped crying. When I was like this the only person who could calm me down was Percy. But he was across the country. So they better give me the bead or someone is going to get a concussion. Matthew reached into his pocket and gave me the bead. "I don't see why a bead is so special." He muttered as he handed me the bead.

I glared daggers at him and he shut up. This is hopefully the last time I will have to live with them. I thought, still glaring daggers at them.

As I put the bead back onto the leather cord. "Annabeth, it's time to go!" Dad called to me.

"One minute!" I yelled back. It was Sunday and I told Percy I would Iris message him before I left.

"Hello?" Answered a sleepy Percy.

"Percy, it's me Annabeth." I said to him.

His eyes shot open at the sound of my name. "Annabeth! I'm so glad you called! Call me before you land, I'll pick you up." He said excitedly.

"How am I going to do that? I'll be on a plane full of mortals, and you don't have a phone." I pointed out.

"Oh, yeah." He replied.

"This is why you're a Seaweed Brain." I told him.

"Yeah, but I'm YOUR Seaweed Brain." He said.

"That you are. How 'bout you take your moms phone and I'll call it?" I suggested.

"That my dear, is why I call you Wise Girl." I laughed.

"It's also why people don't mistake you for a son of Athena." Me and him both laughed.

"Annabeth c'mon! We have to go!" Dad yelled.

"Well, see ya later Seaweed Brain." I said.

"Bye Wise Girl." He replied then waved his hand in the image.

About 10 minutes before the plane landed I called Sally's phone. "Hello?" Percy said when he answered.

"Were you by your mom's phone waiting for me to call?" I asked.

"Maby." He replied.

I laughed "Well the plane should be landing in about 10 minutes." I told him.

"Okay, see you soon!" He said, then hung up.

The rest of the plane ride seemed to take double the time it actually was. I couldn't wait to see him again. It was the middle of November and there was already snow on the ground. Wow. But as they got closer to the city the snow started to fade until there were only small clumps of snow only in central park.

When I land, get my bags and start to head for the door to wait for Percy. I walk about 5ft when strong arms were wrapped around my waist. I turned around and saw Percy staring down at me. "Hi," I said.

"Hey. I've missed you." He replied.

I laughed. "You saw me over the summer." I told him.

"Yeah, but my friends think you're fake and have been trying to trick me into going on dates." He said. "But now I can show them you really do exist!"

"So you're using me to show your friends I exist." I accused him.

"Hey, this is for both of us!" He replied. "You forgot the part where they were tricking me into going on dates."

"Percy,"

"Yeah?"

"When I meet your friends can I beat them up?" I asked.

"As long as they stay in one piece." He said with a laugh. I laughed too.

"C'mon, let's get to camp before some Hellhounds come to eat our faces." I told Percy.

"Awww, but I like getting my face eaten off." He said sarcastically.

I shook my head "Lucky for you, you don't know what it feels like to get your face eaten off."

Percy scoffs "Like you do?"

"Let me rephrase that. Lucky for us, we don't know what it feels like to get our faces eaten off."

"Better."

"Can we go now?" I asked.

"Fine." He sighed. Then lead me to the car.

On the way to camp I told Percy about this morning with my brothers. "They're lucky to be alive." Percy said once I finished.

"Extremely."

"I never knew that was your favorite summer."

"It's not. The BEAD was my favorite. My favorite summer was the summer during the Battle of Manhattan." I told him.

"Why?" He asked truly confused.

"Ugh, Seaweed Brain. You can never take a hint can you? It was my favorite summer because it was when we had our first kiss." I said with a smile.

"Okay first of all, my name is Seaweed Brain for a reason, and second of all awwww I love you too!" He put his arm over my shoulders and gave me a hug sort of thing. I put my head on his shoulder as we drove the familiar route to camp.

When we got there Percy handed me my suitcase. Usually I would only come for the summer so I only needed some camp shirts, shorts, socks, and shoes. But since I was staying until next school year when me and Percy where going to New Rome for college. So I needed some normal T-shirts, jeans, shorts, socks, and shoes.

I sniffled in the cold air and got a whiff of strawberries. I always associate strawberries with safety because of camp. More importantly I associate Percy with safety.

I walked to my cabin as Percy talked with Chiron. I walked in and was greeted with multiple "Hey Annabeth" or "What's up Annabeth". I said hi back as I walked to my bunk.

Alicia my bunk mate walked up to me and said. "Annabeth, what's up?"

"Oh, just getting overrun by monsters at my house so we thought it would be better for me and my family if I just stayed here until Percy and I go to New Rome for college." I told her. She was one of those people who would keep bugging you until she got answers. So I -wanting to stay sane- tell her right away. But man, she knows how to keep a secret.

Alicia opened her mouth to say something but the dinner bell chimed and cut her off.

I saw Percy coming out of his cabin and ran up to him. "Race ya to dinner." He said once I reached him.

"Okay, you're on!" I started counting. "Three... two... one...go!" We ran on go.

This previous spring I did track to stay in shape. I also went to the gym every other weekend, so when I won I wasn't surprised.

"Wow, did you get faster since the summer?" Percy asked once he caught his breath. We both sat at Percy's table because during the school year the number of campers were cut in half so Chiron decided to let us sit wherever we want during the school year. Chiron allowed me to sit with Percy whenever I wanted because after the months without Percy and all that we've been through together I tended to have flashbacks of Tartarus but they were different every time. Once in Spanish I had a flashback and I burst into tears because Bob the Titan killed Percy then the world around me turned to darkness and I heard Gaea saying I 'killed them all.' I still tear up when I think about it. But that was when we first came back. Now they are what actually happened and less frequent.

Percy was worried at first because he would be at the camp fire and I would burst into tears. I also wasn't allowed to play capture the flag when we first came back because I could burst into tears and the opposing team would be able to find our flag. So during those weeks Percy would sit out with me and we would talk about anything and everything.

I remember once Percy and I were talking about our future and I had said

"Have you ever wondered what the person you're going to marry is doing right now?"

"Nope," he said "because she's right in front of me."

That was the day when the memories started getting better. And less frequent. I was so much better I was allowed to play capture the flag the next Friday.

"What're you thinking about?" Percy asked breaking me away from my thoughts.

"I was thinking about the day my flashbacks got better." I told him.

"Have you ever wondered what the person you're going to marry is doing right now?" He asked with a smile.

"Nope, because he's right in front of me." I replied with a smile of my own.

When we all finished dinner me and Percy took a walk on the beach. We went and sat at the end of the dock our feet dangling off of the edge. "Do you think we'll live long enough to get married?" I asked.

"I hope so. If we don't I'll marry you when we're dead." He said.

"I think we'd be the first couple to get married while we we're dead." I told him.

-FLASHBACK STARTS-

Percy and I got out of the Doors of Death and the scene scared the shit out of me. All of the people from the Argo II, all of the friends I've ever had, were lying on the ground dead. 'It's all your fault' Gaea kept whispering in my ear. I looked back at Percy but all I saw was a bloody heap that was my boyfriend on the ground.

-FLASHBACK ENDS-

I started crying into Percy's chest with him whispering reassuring things to me as I told him my flashback.
