Hey, sorry I haven't updated lately. To the story!

~Annabeth's POV~

The Argo 2 was about to land, and I'm sad to say I was almost hyperventilating. I turned to Piper, who nodded encouragingly at me. I smiled fondly at Piper; she had comforted me when I felt weak because I missed Percy.

The Argo 2 landed with a giant bump. Leo scrambled to the place where the ladder where would be, and shouted out "We come in peace!" with his arms above his head and he was grinning an idiotic grin. Piper snorted and muttered "Seriously, Leo?" and to herself said "We're doomed". I shook my head, amused; my shipmates had kept me laughing the entire trip.

Leo got the ladder down and Piper followed him, eyeing the Romans nervously. I nodded at Jason, and he went down as well. As he got off, I heard gasps and murmurs, and one boy said that he did not "predict" this. Was he an oracle? Well, I'm pretty sure only girls can be oracles, and I'm usually right.

I knew Jason was waiting for me to come down, but I was going to go at my pace. And my pace is never what anyone expects. So I stalked forward with my hands on my hips, right till I was somewhere on the deck where everyone could see me. "PERCY JACKSON! "I roared out, watching said boy as he flinched and grinned.

Jason said something to him and I glared at Jason; I knew it was about me. Screw the ladder my mind said but my feet went down it. I knew I was radiating some emotion, for the Romans backed away, leaving Percy just in front of me. My body was shaking as I fought a battle within; run up to him? Or walk casually? I decided to do both, speed-walking and tripping. I cursed in Greek as I did this.

When I was a few feet away I fought another battle: What do I do? Hug him? Kiss him? Does he even remember me? "Annabeth…"He murmured and I broke. He remembered me. I ran at him, sobbing. As I got closer, I smacked him across the chest but he ignored that.

He hugged me and I stared up at his eyes. I kissed him, and he kissed back. Piper whistled, and Tyson and the Greeks clapped. Wait when did Tyson get here? Oh well. "I remembered you, I still love you, Annabeth. "Percy crooned into my hair. I knew people were watching, but I didn't care.

"You know, besides my name, you were the only thing I remembered. "He called me a 'thing' but I didn't care. Percy doesn't realize these things.

"Stop! "A boy bellowed out, and Percy glared at him. "Yes yes, Percy was a good Greek, but the rest of you? Ah, Jason, where have you been lately? "The boy asked with fake concern and I muttered in Percy's ear "Seems like you've been making enemies" and he whispered back "It's one of the things I do best " and I almost laughed.

"With the Greeks you seem to hate "And I could tell Jason hated the boy. "Oh? "The boy retorted. "Octavian, as praetor, I command you to shut up "I froze, and looked at the girl who said that. "Percy, she looks just like that girl-Hylla-who was at the salon! "I whispered, my hand reaching for my knife. "I know, Hylla is here too "Percy replied and gave me a look that told me he would tell me later.

The different groups went to the eating center, reclining on couches. We forced Jason to tell the Romans about his journey, and some of the Romans chuckled at certain parts as did Percy. But Percy nearly did a spit take with his blue coke when he heard Jason was Thalia's brother.

"Speaking of Thalia how is she? "Percy asked nearly whispering. "She's worried about you. She, Grover, Tyson, and Mrs. O'Leary were sent looking for you, as well as me. Chiron knew something he wouldn't tell anyone; not even the satyrs. "I finished and clasped Percy's hand. After that, the Romans forced Percy to tell his story, as long as a girl named Hazel and a boy named Frank.

"I, personally, think it is unfair that Frank can turn into animals and stuff. "Percy finished and Frank looked down and blushed. "Percy, shut up. You can create a mini hurricane around you! "Frank laughed, and I joined in remembering the battle for Olympus.

The chatter began again but Percy had one more surprise in store. "Excuse me, Poseidon coming through. "The God said, and I bowed respectfully. Poseidon led Percy away for a minute, and he returned looking happy. We fell asleep in the same bed holding hands.

Blazerules34: I thought I should make this in Annabeth's POV because it would be nice to see what goes on in her head, so I hope you liked it!
