I do not own PJO!

Chapter 1

Present day

Apollo was angry, very angry. His father just had to call a meeting today of all days. It was may first, his wedding anniversary, or suppose to be wedding anniversary.

He kept fidgeting in his throne. He desperately wanted to get out of there. His beloved was waiting for him. They had planed this day out last time he visited, and now he was late.

Some of the gods looked at him with sympathy. "Oh father, just let him go", said his twin, "It's really not fair." The other olympians murmured in agreement. "Fine Apollo, you can go." He jumped up and disappeared in a flash.

When he made it to the meadow, he saw her sitting in the middle of all the flowers, waiting for him. When he appeared, she looked up startled. But when she saw him, her eyes lit up and a smile broke across he face. She got up and quickly ran over and threw herself in his arms.

"You're late" she murmured into his chest. "I know my love, I'm sorry. Zeus made me stay for a meeting, but I came here as soon as I could. I'm sor..." She cut him off by a chaste kiss. "Stop apologizing." He looked down at her and smiled. "I love you." "I love you too."

He suddenly buried his hands in her hair and pulled her in for a long, passionate kiss. He touched his tongue to her lips, demanding entrance, and she gladly gave it. He dove his tongue inside, re-exploring her mouth for the umpteenth time.

She moaned into his mouth, causing him to growl and start kissing her down the neck. She threw her head back in pleasure and moaned again. When the sun god reached the bottom, he started sucking at a very sensitive spot below her ear.

She ripped his shirt open, buttons flying everywhere. She started running her hands up and down his chest, feeling all his muscles. Heat engulfed both of them in a passion filled day.

Later they were both cuddling on the ground. Apollo only had two hours left with her. "Apollo?" sky blue eyes met sapphire blue ones. "Yes my love?" She quickly sat up, tears gathering in her eyes. "What's wrong sweetheart?" Apollo asked, sitting up next to her. "I don't think I can do this anymore. I don't want to spend the rest of the eternity waiting for you to come."

Apollo's eyes started tearing up. "You don't mean that, please tell me you don't mean that." "I still love you Apollo. I can't exist in anyway without you." "But this is the only way." "No", she said quickly, "it's not."

"I talked to Lord Hades a few days ago." The sun god held her close to his chest. "Sweetheart that was dangerous." "I know, but I'm fine. And I have good news." "What is it?" Apollo asked, trying not to get his hopes up. "He said that I could be reborn." "But you will forget me." "No, that's the good part. He can do something to the water from the lethe to make it wear off after my 18th birthday." "The only bad part is that we will be separated for 18 years."

Apollo bit his lip and looked down. "I don't know baby." "But think of what we will gain. We will be able to spend the eternity together. In the land of the living. I will be your immortal wife." "Ok," said Apollo with a slight smile on his face, "lets do it."

She squealed with happiness and hugged him. They both got up ad walked over to the river of lethe. The god smiled at her and handed her a bottle full of the special water from Hades.

She looked up at Apollo. "I will miss you." "Me too, but don't worry, I will always be watching over you."

The couple kissed each other long and passionately. When they pulled back, she had tears in her eyes. The sun god kissed them away. "Don't cry, we will be together soon." "I will love you, always." With one last loving gaze, she drank the water.

When she turned back around, Apollo saw that their was no spark of recognition in her eyes. She just looked at him in confusion. Then her features changed and she started to shrink, slowly turning back into a baby. When the change was complete, the ghost picked her up and slowly started walking to the other side of the river, bringing her back to the world of the living.

"You be careful with her." Apollo called after them. "Of course Lord Apollo. I know how special she is." The ghost said before continuing on his way.

"Don't worry my love. I will always be there.

I will love you forever Ariadne,

forever."
