Annabeth POV

When Percy came and got me on the hill, I literally melted. I was so happy that he was there. Then when it was just us two in the infirmary and I kissed him, it was like the old times and our kiss underwater. Then when we went to bed it was like the night we camped in the hull of the Argo II. Basically everything reminded me of the good times we'd shared. The next morning when I woke up, Percy was there. He was there, sitting in his orange t-shirt, un-combed hair .looking sloppy but perfect the way I liked it. When he saw me he smiled his side smile, the one I liked and the one he saved just for me. When Will Solace came in to dress my wounds and it hurt, he was there at my side, ready to do anything to make it better.

"Alright Annabeth. Try getting up," Will said. I stood up gingerly testing my weakened legs. When I started shaking, Percy was there instantly, helping me up. He served as my crutch, I put my arm around his shoulder, and he put his around mine. Then when we walked o Doodledrawut he was still there. We hobbled to breakfast, and people greeted me just as before. My own cabin mates greeted me especially warmly, and one of them helped me on the other side. At the mess hall, I sat with Percy and Tyson at the Poseidon table, and no one complained. Percy and I ate breakfast together, my head leaning against his shoulder most of the time I ate my pancakes. Then we went to the surf, and sat there, shoes forgotten, toes digging in the hot sand. I rested my head in Percy's lap and he brushed my hair with his fingers. We threw the occasional pebble in the clear water, and Percy would bounce it five, ten, fifteen times, sometimes more using his powers. Then he would bring it back, he always brought it back.

"Just like you. I'll always be there to bring you back," he explained, leading me to kiss him again. This time though he was expecting it, and he embraced it fully. The we took a stroll along the beach, I still leaned on him. We stopped at a bench and sat, resting my weakened, exhausted legs. When we kept going, Percy let me to the edge of the forest, where he took out Riptide and carved P+A with a heart around it. I hugged him, and he hugged me back. In that moment we both forgot about the world, a meteorite could have ended it and we wouldn't have cared.

Then Grover ruined it, "Guys! Guys! Oh... Uhh. You're busy. Heh. Sorry, but we're under attack!" We hobbled out to the cabins. Sure enough, there was an army at the gates. The Greeks were in army formation, that is, a big mob of people. Then Percy realized that he recognized someone. He squinted and an alarmed look crossing his face.

"Annabeth, stay here."

"Like I can go anywhere!" I retorted, but I stayed leaning against the Poseidon cabin, Percy figured his dad wouldn't be mad. Then he dashed out to the front of the Greek line. He drew Riptide and waved it.

"Stop, stop! Don't you realize who the others are?" And now when you squinted at the opposing line, you could tell that under their silver armor they were wearing purple shirts, and the people in front were wearing purple cloaks.

"Ave, Praetors Zhang and Ramírez-Arellano!" Percy shouted, raising his hand to his forehead in an salute. Frank and Reyna returned the salute and walked foreword clearly excited to see their old friends. The seven demigods (Yes, Leo came back with Calypso), plus Nico and Calypso surged forward, with me struggling to get down the hill, until Percy helped me. There was a lot of hugging, laughing and catching up. Then Reyna and Frank dismissed the legion, and the rest of the demigods started mingling, meeting friends and acquaintances. The Romans were invited into their cabins in Greek version, but most politely declined for want to stay with their cohort. Percy helped me up the hill and to the Big House, where we all sat in deck chairs and caught up. Apparently, Frank and Hazel were now engaged, and had announced it publicly (I know right? It's not like Frank or Hazel to be outspoken like that). Then, everyone noticed that Nico and Reyna had sat next to each other and were holding hands. They quickly blushed and let go, but no one really cared and they were doing it again soon. I was sharing a bench with Percy, leaning my head against him and holding his hand. This was soon noticed as well, and a few jokes were made at our expense. I just brushed them off, and soon they stopped seeing that Percy was the only one blushing.

Then Reyna asked the question, "So Annabeth. What happened to you? You are limping, leaning against Percy, and letting out the occasional pained grunt. What's wrong?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well, I guess I gotta tell you, might as well do it when you're all in one place. So I started going to this architecture school in San Francisco," there was some scattered applause. "Well a few months in to my school year, that is to say a week ago, my teacher turned out to be a monster. Naturally, I didn't have my dagger with me at the time so I couldn't stab him. Classic. Anyway, I ran, and he chased me. I got lost. Then Grover showed up, don't ask me how. And he helped me get away with the help of some nature spirits. We struggled to get back to camp. Then, the monster caught up with us again. I fought with a stick," I laughed, recalling the memory of me brandishing a blunt stick to fight a monster. "Anyway, it didn't work. He snapped it like a twig, oh wait it was a twig. Anyway. No pun intended-Percy, stop laughing, that was hardly funny." I stopped again. Percy was rolling around on the floor, Leo was pantomiming me brandishing a stick.

"Ah! Take that! Oh no! You snapped my twig, whatever shall I do now?!" Leo cried, here Frank let out a snort, then stopped when Hazel slapped him. Calypso got up, grabbed Leo by the shoulders, and slammed him down on the chair with such force that he sat dazed for a while. She quietly scolded him under her breath, and he shut up.

"Percy?" He was silent now, sitting on the deck. I squeezed his shoulder, to make him understand that I got that he thought it was funny, but to get up here right now. "Anyway. I don't know exactly what happened, because my vision started to go fuzzy, but we beat him. Then I vaguely remember Grover dragging me up here. Next thing I know, Percy is leaning over me, telling me it's going to be fine, Leo please stop," Leo had his hands in his cheeks and was going, "Awwwww," at Percy. Leo got a warning look from Calypso and I think she was threatening something really important to him, like for example... No Festus for a month or something. I mouthed "thanks," in her direction and she winked at me.

"Then I passed out again, and this time woke up in the infirmary, Percy was there again, and he helped me get through it. Also...we kinda wrote our initials in a tree," I wrung my hands as I said the last part, and Nico, who had been incredibly silent until now (why am I surprised?) whistled.

"Yeah. Umm. I don't know how to say this," Nico looked quickly at Reyna and she nodded, blushing. "But me and Reyna, are kind of...umm, a couple?" Okay. Not what I expected from the son of Hades, the introvert, silent, strong, and kinda cute (did I really just say that?) guy. Then after everyone got over their initial shock, clapped Nico on the back, hard to do when he's ten percent transparent from shadow traveling the Athena Parthenos. We just talked, and talked, then Chiron came up.

"Come on children, it's capture the flag time!" We cheered and raced, I limped, down the hill.

"Hey, Annabeth! Come here," Leo shouted at me. He quickly handed a sort of brace to me, and fitted it on my leg. "Try walking now." I took a few steps and realized I could walk normally. I smiled gratefully at Leo, and we raced to join the others.

Not the end. I am writing the team third chapter right now. Don't forget to review!
