A/N Thank for all the amazing reviews I've gotten so far, I really appreciate it! I know that someone asked me not to have a mushy kissing scene between Percy and Annabeth, but I had to put it in! (Though it's not as mushy as some of them)

Percy

Percy looked up at the huge warship hovering above the city. It started to descend. Are they landing here? Percy though anxiously, then looking around, he realized that there was plenty of room. Well, there would be plenty of room if the Forum wasn't surround by 200 sum legionaries and Amazons gaping in awe at the sky.

Percy's eyes flitted for a second, before connecting with Reyna's. In an instant he understood that she had realized the same thing. "Roman's, fall back!" Percy yelled.

The only thing that could pull the Roman's away from a fully weaponed gleaming airship with a dragonhead attached was a direct order from their praetor. Reluctantly they skirted to the edges of the Forum.

Reyna gave her sister a look, and the queen of the Amazons motioned for troops to retreat as well. Just in time, as the last soldier got out of the way, the ship gently touched the ground.

Reyna flew down on Scipio. For a few tense seconds, nothing happened. More than a few Romans fingered their weapons, but a look from Reyna and they dropped their hands. Everyone in the Forum held their breath as a huge gangplank started to lower.

This is it. Percy thought looked down at himself, nervously fidgeting with the hem of his shirt. At least he had worn normal clothes under his toga. Gods that would've been embarrassing, the first time seeing Annabeth in eight months, and him wearing a bed sheet. Looking around, he realized that all of the senate had also pulled off their togas.

There was a collective gasp that rang through the legion as a guy stepped off the ship. Based on the reaction, Percy assumed that the guy was Jason, but that didn't matter to him; Percy was only looking for one person. For a few moments, Jason stood there alone, then he was joined by other demigods. It was perfectly timed and positioned. The Romans had seen their lost hero, and now they couldn't fire at any of the Greeks without risking hitting him. Only one person Percy knew of would have come up with that, and sure enough, there was Annabeth, standing next to Jason, the streaks of gray in her curly blonde hair barely visible. Her stormy eyes scanned the crowd frantically.

Her eyes locked on him, the word Percy formed on her lips, and he was running. In a second, all careful planning put aside, Annabeth pushed past Jason and ran. The two met in the middle of the of the campers. Percy caught her in midair, and swung her around. He was laughing.

"Eight months! You left me for eight months, Seaweed Brain!"

Percy laughed and hugged her again. "Just put it at the top of the list of stupid things I've done." Percy said.

Annabeth looked at him skeptically. "Really? Was it stupider than challenging the general of the Titan army to a battle you when you were fourteen?" She asked. "Or that time you tried to get between Grover and a cheese enchilada?"

"No competition." With that he kissed her. Cheers erupted from the Greeks on the ship, followed by many chanting Percy, Percy, Percy!

"Everyone," Percy cried out, after all the passengers on the ship had reached the ground. "These are the Greek demigods from camp Half-Blood!" The Roman's stood in stony silence, too afraid or just refusing to move a muscle.

"Well, there's a warm welcome," said a small boy with elfin features that Percy recognized from the magical scroll that he had been sent. He was the boy who looked exactly like Sammy Valdez, Hazel's old friend. Percy turned around to look at his new friend, and found that she was staring at the boy, a look of disbelief on her face. Percy turned back and saw a pretty girl with choppy hair punch the boy's arm. "Shut up, Valdez," She whispered. Hazel paled at the name.

Before anything else could happen, Jason stepped forward, and cheers rang up through the Romans. "Legion, as most of you know, I'm Jason Grace. Eight months ago, Juno kidnapped me and erased my memory. The Greeks found me, and took me in. I don't want to see any violence between the two camps. The Greeks mean you no harm." He looked out around the crowd, and the power he had over them was obvious. The few that had drawn weapons, quickly sheathed them again, looking sheepish.

"Now then," Percy said, walking so he was standing next to Jason, his back to the Greeks, facing the Romans. He pulled Annabeth along with him. "This is Annabeth she's..." Percy hesitated. What was Annabeth? Camp Half-Blood didn't have praetors like camp Jupiter. "She's the leader of Camp Half-Blood." When he said it, he knew that it was right.

Annabeth stepped forward then "We need to talk to the praetors!" She announced.

"Well, you were just talking to one," Percy said grinning, Annabeth and Jason turned to him, just noticing the purple cape that he was wearing.

"Percy, you're Praetor, how?" Annabeth asked.

"He saved the camp, and then we raised him on our shields." Reyna answered, coming to stand next to Percy. She was followed by her sister Hylla.

As their leaders moved forward, so did the Romans and the Amazons. Slowly, they started to mingle warily with the Greeks. A small circle was left in the middle for the leaders to talk.

Annabeth looked from Reyna to Hylla. Her eyebrows knit together for a second, then she gave a little gasp. In an instant she had drawn her knife and pointed it at Hylla. "You!" She cried.

"Annabeth what are you doing?" Jason asked, looking around, seeing the nearby Amazons start to draw their weapons.

Queen Hylla hesitated, her hand hovering on the dagger that hung from her belt. Percy could tell that she wanted to pull it out. Oh gods, Percy thought. "Annabeth, don't,"

"Percy, I don't know if you have all your memories back yet, but if you do, she was at Circe's spa!" Annabeth explained, her steel eyes fixed at Hylla, her knife never wavering.

Hylla made a face that was somewhere between a grimace and a sneer. "You destroyed my home." She said it in a very calm voice, but again Percy could tell that she was holding herself back.

"Your mistress turned Percy into a Guinea Pig!" Annabeth retorted. That got some strange looks from nearby Romans.

"Annabeth, please, I remember. It's alright. We made peace." Percy's eyes begged Annabeth not to fight the queen of the Amazons in the middle of a war negotiation.

Annabeth searched his face, and reluctantly sheathed her dagger. "Fine" she said. "I trust you."

Hylla let out a breath. It was clear that the exchange had been hard for her. She wanted to fight Annabeth as much as Annabeth wanted to fight her, but both were strong leaders. They understood the dangers of it. Hylla stiffly held out her hand, and Annabeth took it, her arm equally as robotic.

Percy closed his eyes and briefly thanked the gods that that was over with.. "Okay now that introductions are over, we need to discuss war plans." He stated.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Let's meet in the senate in ten minutes, until then, I think we all have some catching up to do," Reyna said glancing at Jason.

"Agreed," Percy said. With that, the band broke off into the intwining crowd.

"So guys, this is my girlfriend Annabeth," Percy introduced Annabeth to Frank and Hazel.

Frank shook Annabeth's hand. "It's great to finally meet you. I was beginning to think that Percy made you up."

Annabeth laughed and Percy punched him in the shoulder.

"Oww..." Frank muttered rubbing his arm.

"So, c'mon, we'll introduce you to everyone else," Percy said, to Hazel and Frank.

Percy liked the Romans a lot, (some more than others) but it was nice to be back among camp half-blood campers again. He introduced his new friends to everyone who had come. When they got to Clarisse, Percy introduced Frank as a son of Mars.

Clarisse looked him up and down, seeming to evaluate him. She gave him a slightly scornful look, but then nodded grudgingly before moving on.

"Uh... What just happened?" Frank asked, looking after her.

"Well you just met Clarisse and she didn't even try and hit you," Percy said in an amazed voice. He turned to Annabeth. "How long have I been gone?" They laughed, and continued.

Percy walked around, greeting old friends. His eyes lit up when he saw Rachel Dare. He looked at Annabeth, "You brought Rachel?" He asked.

Annabeth saw the redhead and nodded. "I thought we might need her."

Percy grinned. "I do need her for something." He quickly herded his friends over to her. "Hey Rachel, this is Frank son of Mars, and Hazel daughter of Pluto."

Rachel shook their hands warmly. "Hey," she said.

They both nodded to her. "Who's your godly parent?" Hazel asked, trying to break the ice.

Rachel smiled. "I don't have one. I'm completely mortal."

Hazel and Frank stared at her, surprise clear on their faces, Percy quickly explained to them. "Rachel is the camp's oracle. She gives prophecies that tell the future."

The surprised look on Hazel and Frank's faces grew even more. "You mean she can see the future?" Frank asked amazed.

Rachel laughed. "Well, its more like the future hi-jacks me from time to time. I host the spirit of Delphi, and sometimes it just sort of... takes over, and viola, new prophecy!" Rachel explained.

Hazel and Frank were still staring. "Wow. We just have a guy who mutilates teddy bears." Said Frank.

Annabeth stared at him, for a second her eyebrows furrowed together. "Octavian, right?" she asked.

Percy nodded, surprised that she had known about him.

Annabeth blushed at the stares from Hazel, Frank, and Percy. "Jason uh told a little about what to expect," she explained.

"Well if you know about Octavian, that's definitely a good thing," Percy concluded. He said bye to Rachel, and they were about to move to another person when their path was blocked by a familiar black pegasus.

Frank and Hazel stumbled back a few steps, but Percy leaped forward. ""Hey Blackjack! I missed you!"

Boss, ya didn't die without me! Blackjack said in Percy's head.

"I came close. I didn't think that they'd bring you!"

Hah. They wouldn't leave me behind! I'm the glue that holds the camp together. Well, besides you boss.

"How've you been?" Percy asked, not noticing the strange looks that the Romans were giving him.

I've been great!

Percy frowned Blackjack almost always had something to complain about. "Really everything was great? How were the stables?"

I didn't sleep in the stables, I slept in your ca- never mind. The stables were great!

Percy's frown deepened. "You slept in my cabin?" Now he was getting some really strange looks.

You said I could have it boss! Blackjack said weakly.

"If I died! Not if-"

"Uh... Percy, are you feeling alright?" Reyna asked who was standing nearby.

Percy turned to her confused. "Uh yeah,"

"Percy can talk to horses. It's a Neptune, er, Poseidon thing." Hazel explained.

Reyna nodded and turned away, though she still appeared to have suspicions about Percy's mental health.

"Thanks," Percy muttered, blushing. He had forgotten that most of the Romans didn't know. the full extent of his powers.
