If you would like to thank someone for this chapter being written, I would choose Logan Lerman (I LOVE HIM!), Alexandra Daddario (she's awesome!), and Chris Columbus (he be coolness). I just saw Percy Jackson (for the second time...) and ahhh. I love it so much that I must post this chapter now. I really hope you like it and I'll try to get back to the other stuff... :D Enjoy chapter of awesomeness... SAXOPHONE!

The point of view of one Mrs. Annabeth Chase Jackson:)

"Percy..." I mumbled, hand grazing over his cheek. "What's wrong..?"

He chuckled. "What's wrong?" He stood up, eyes darting around the room. "My baby girl is gone. Charles is gone. Our kids are off in Hades knows were." His eyes were welling up with tears and I walked over to him.

"Percy..." I wrapped my arms around him, hugging him closer to me. "It's going to be fine. Charles will take care of Silena... soon enough they'll come back to us. Everything will be fine. I promise."

"It wasn't that long ago.." He muttered, taking my hand and pulling me over to our bags.

"What wasn't that long ago...?" I asked, a smile perking up on my face.

"When things were easy..."

I laughed at him. "Percy, things have never been easy."

"You know what I mean.. when it was just us. Back at camp when we were fourteen just realising that we were in love.. back when life wasn't so serious. I mean, yes, we were being hunted by monsters because of our god blood, but... this is different. Now I'm worried.. the last time I remember being seriously worried was when you were kidnapped.. I thought I would never see you again."

"Oh, but then Aphrodite told you you were in love with me... that cleared everything up." I joked, smiling playfully at him.

He blushed just so slightly, but then beamed back at me. "Ha! I wasn't the one who thought one of us was going to die and kissed the other..." He chuckled to himself. "Then spazzed out cause of that girl... what was her name?"

"Calypso." I growled back at him, taking his face in my hands. "And I would shut up if I were you.."

"But wait... next I was going to mention how you almost died to save me from dying." He mumbled, kissing my nose. "I was going to say how brave you were.. and how perfect our talk was... how much I love you."

My hand traveled down his back and fell to a stop lightly on the small of his back. "I love you, Percy.." I mumbled, pulling him closer.

"That was probably my favorite birthday ever.." He muttered, smiling at me.

"Really?" I asked him, eyes bright with happiness.

"Yes.." He laughed.

"What?"

"You still aren't making things easy for me."

"Shut up, Seaweed Brain."

"Oh, but I love reminiscing about my Wise Girl."

"Shh." I mumbled, kissing him lightly on the lips.

"Oh...okay." He mumbled with a smile.

(Flashing back)

"Percy!" It was one summer at camp and Percy had been missing for a few weeks. I'd only seen him in passing and hadn't had a chance to talk to -much less kiss- him much.

He turned and his eyes zoned in on me. He stood there for a moment in complete silence and he ran to me. His arms were wrapped around me in seconds. "Hi." He whispered in my ear as we stood there on the edge of the forest.

"Hi." My voice was breathy as I looked at him. He seemed taller.. more muscular. He seemed somehow more perfect. Was his hair shorter?

"What is it?" He asked, biting his lip.

"What's different about you?" I asked, letting my fingers run through his hair, lovingly.

"Me... Percy Jackson.. saver of the world.. different about me?" He asked, joking lightly.

"Yes, you, Seaweed Brain." I said, laughing at him.

"I don't know..." He trailed off, kissing my neck.

"Percy!" I shrieked, laughing. "Come on." I pulled him back into the bushes and sat down on the ground, pulling him with me. I stared at him for a while, eyes running over his body several times, trying to decipher the change.

"Annabeth... I haven't been able to kiss you for ages.. why must you torture me?" He mumbled, reaching out to me.

"I can't tell what's different.." I muttered, tracing the planes of his face. Gods he looked different. Just to clarify, he looked fantastic. He looked ten times more perfect than I remembered.

"Really?" He asked, laughing. "I hadn't noticed."

"Percy tell me." I begged, taking his hands in mine.

"Tell you what?"

"Percy Jackson!" I growled, glaring at him.

In only a second, he was right beside me. He was so close my breath caught in my throat and I was rendered speechless by his beauty. "It's a little thing I like to call puberty... ever heard of it?"
