PERCY I
Percy stood with his arms around Hazel and Frank, glad that he had some friends he could trust. After they had received the video scroll from the Sammy look-a-like, Leo, most of the Romans were still uneasy about cooperating with the Greeks. But most of all he was glad that his full memory was back, and he literally couldn't wait to see Annabeth. Reyna was in front of him, wearing her praetor cape and toga, Percy was glad he took time to change into normal clothes, but he still had his purple praetor cape on. Standing behind him, Hazel and Frank was a crowd of around two hundred Romans, ready to greet, or attack, the flying Battleship that would be arriving any minute, he could even see its shadow through the puffy clouds. He pulled his arm off of Frank's shoulder, shading his eyes to get a better look.
"Excited about seeing Annabeth?" Hazel asked, smiling her biggest smile.
Percy took in a deep breath, smiling too as he exhaled. He pulled his friends into a tight squeeze and replied cheerfully, "Absolutely, I haven't seen her in eight months!" Then he bit his lip anxiously and rubbed his hand through his messy black hair.
"Something wrong Percy?" Frank asked nervously.
"No," Percy replied a little less enthusiastically, "I just hope she's not mad at me."
Hazel laughed and shook her gold and brown curled hair, "Why in the world would she be mad at you? It's not your fault you got switched with Jason."
"I know that, but I haven't exactly spoken to her since I got my memory back."
Hazel looked puzzled. "What about that phone call you made in Alaska?"
"That was to my mom…" Percy said, a little embarrassed.
Hazel and Frank laughed. Then Hazel replied, "Oh I'm sure she's just as excited to see you as you are to see her! It's so romantic!" By this time many of the girls within earshot of them were inching closer.
One girl Roman soldier asked, "Your girlfriend from that Greek camp is coming on the ship?"
Percy replied smiling goofily, "Yeah, she is!"
Some of the girls said "Awwwww," it seemed half of them said it excitedly and the other disappointed. The same girl asked, "So what does she look like Percy?"
Frank sighed, "Not this again! She's blonde with 'stormy gray eyes,' whatever that means."
Percy laughed, "Why don't you just wait a few minutes and see for yourselves?"
It seemed as though everyone held their breaths, waiting for the ship to come down. It edged closer and closer above them, about to land on the Field of Mars, where the Roman army faced. Percy was nervous. There were so many things to be nervous about, Annabeth, how he bet his life that the Greeks mean no harm, Annabeth, Gaia rising, Annabeth, meeting Jason when he was now the new Praetor, and also Annabeth. Percy fidgeted with his toga, Hazel twirled a small gold nugget in her hand, while Frank stood silently beside them. Reyna turned to Percy as the ship came closer.
She spoke in a hushed tone, "Percy, are you sure the Greeks are not going to attack? That's a pretty big battleship, and it's flying!"
"Reyna, please just trust me, the Greeks come in peace, Jason will even be on the ship and I'm sure when they come out he'll just prove my point."
"Right, Jason…"
Percy raised his eyebrows at her for a second, wondering about her and Jason's relationship, before this whole mess started. Percy's thoughts were interrupted and looked up into the sky when he heard gasps from behind him. The ship broke through the clouds, and it was huge, but beautiful at the same time. Percy wondered how Camp Half-Blood could ever make such a thing, but there it was, holding his future, both the good or the bad version. Hazel gripped his hand reassuringly, he realized now he biting his nails and obviously looked nervous. He smiled back at her and Frank, thinking about his new and old families, and Annabeth. She was going to come out off the ship any minute, Percy was both scared and excited at the same time. Truthfully, he couldn't wait just to look at her again, she was so beautiful, he felt like he looked like a big dork in his purple cape. Just then the ship made contact with the Field of Mars, Reyna held her hand up, signaling the Romans to stay put. The sun was shining bright as a hatch in the side of the boat slowly came down, hitting the ground with a muffled thud. Percy squinted his eyes to see someone coming out from the ship…
