I'm sooooo SORRY that I haven't updated in forever! I had this chapter written but then my computer crashed and didn't save it. I almost threw my computer in my pool. No joke. I almost didn't rewrite this I was so mad.

I don't own PJO. I do believe this is Fan Fiction.

Enjoy!

Annabeth POV

I led Percy through the crowd surrounding Jason. Everyone was cheering. It was obvious the camp was ecstatic to have their leader back.

When we had made our way through the crowd, I could see that Jason was smiling from ear-to-ear. He hugged the pretty girl I had seen earlier. Oh good, I thought. She seems to like Jason. That means she doesn't like Percy. Uh-oh, if she likes Jason, what about Piper? I wonder what kind of relationship this girl and Jason had before all of his memories were taken. . .

Speaking of Piper, she and Leo were still awkwardly standing on the ship, looking down at everything. I caught Piper's eye, and gestured for her and Leo to come down here.

Once Piper and Leo had made their way through the crowd, Jason saw them and me.

"Oh, hey guys," Jason said to me, Piper, and Leo.

"Hi Jason. This is my boyfriend, Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon, God of the seas and earth shaker." I introduced Percy to Jason.

"And Percy, this is Jason, Son of Zeus, or, Jupiter, God of the Skies." I said to Percy while gesturing to Jason.

"Hi," Percy said while he stepped forward to shake Jason's hand.

"Nice to finally meet you," Jason said while taking Percy's outstretched hand in a firm shake.

I swear it was almost like these two guys glowed. They were both such powerful children of the Big Three, and they emanated power and strength. Plus, they both had very toned muscles, and looked kind of intimidating without trying to.

"You too, you're quite a big deal around here, man," Percy said with a smile.

"You should see Camp Half Blood. Everyone's pretty down there. They talk about you like you're an actual god," Jason replied.

At this, Percy smiled. "Nice to know I'm appreciated. Annabeth always just makes me feel stupid."

"You are a Seaweed Brain," I had to say it.

"But Wise Girl, I'm your Seaweed Brain," Percy said with a smile. [AN I know that was extremely typical and cliché, but I had to add it] I smiled back at him and he pecked me on the lips.

"Sheesh get a room!" Of course, this was Leo.

"Oh shut up," And that was me. "Percy this is Leo Valdez, Son of Hephaestus. He designed and was in charge of construction of the Argo II. And this is Piper McLean, Daughter of Aphrodite. She can also charm speak."

Percy nodded. "Pleasure to meet you both."

"You too" Piper said.

"Yea it's great to finally meet the legend known as Percy Jackson," Leo smirked.

Percy raised an eyebrow at me. I just rolled my eyes.

"Piper, Leo, Annabeth, this is Reyna. She was my fellow praetor. Well now she's Percy's fellow praetor." Jason supplied while indicating the girl he had hugged earlier.

There were 'hi's and 'nice to meet you's.

"Hey man I don't want to take your position away from you. You can be praetor. You deserve it more than me," Percy told Jason. Percy was modest, as usual. Jason had never seen Percy in battle. It's pretty epic.

"I don't really care," Jason replied. He probably didn't want to seem conceited by wanting to be praetor.

"Well it's yours." When Percy said this, no one objected. Most of the crowd had cleared by this time.

"Back to your barracks!" Reyna said to anybody still standing around.

Now it was just Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Leo, Reyna, Hazel, and Frank.

"Well I don't know how much it even matters now," Jason said, looking a bit more solemn now.

"What do you mean?" Reyna asked with a confused look on her face.

"Reyna, we have to leave for Rome, and then Greece, very soon." Jason said it like he regretted it. I bet he does. I can't blame him.

"Yea, as much as I hate to say it, Jason's right," Percy added.

"But, Jason, you just got back!" Reyna protested.

"I know. I really am sorry Reyna." Jason did look sorry. He wouldn't meet Reyna's eyes for more than a second though. Jason was a guy with options. I could tell he didn't know what to do with Piper and Reyna.

"Actually, I hate to be a downer," I said. "But if we are going to make it to Rome and Greece before the end of the world, we can only stop at Camp Half Blood for a day, too. Just thought you might want to know Percy."

Percy did look sad. But he knew he was one of the leaders this quest. And he couldn't fail.

Reyna looked confused. "Camp Half Blood is the Greek demigod camp," I supplied.

"We will leave tomorrow after lunch," Jason answered the question on everyone's minds.

Percy stepped in. "Just to make sure everything is clear, the 7 are me, Jason, Annabeth, Hazel, Frank, Piper, and Leo, right?"

There were 'yea's and people nodded in agreement.

After a tour of the camp, a restless night, a good breakfast, and everybody packing everything, the Seven were ready to leave.
