Thanks for all the people that reviewed this story and sorry for not uploading sooner. This is the reunion chapter between Annabeth and Percy. It didn't exaaclty go the way I wanted it to, but close enough. Anyways. Enjoy(:
Percy POV
Percy was so exited he could hardly think straight. He was moment away of seeing the most beautiful and best girl in the world. He sat down in the shade of a tree and leaned against the trunk. His mind seemed to go a million thoughts a minute.
Oh Poseidon. I've turned into Annabeth.
Annabeth. He couldn't seem to go thirty seconds without thinking about her. Now that his memory was back completely, he knew everything about her that he had known before Rome. The way her curly hair would bounce when she ran, how her eyes started to gleamed when she talked about architecture. How she could make you tell her everything by that intense gaze.
He hadn't even realized when Hazel and Frank sat down next to him. His eyes were closed, his head was back, and his leg was bouncing up and down driving Frank crazy.
"Dude. My grandmother used to tell me that if you shook your leg, they were going to fall off at old age."
Percy sighed. I thought Tyson said they were coming in five minutes. It's been twenty minutes. What's taking so long? I hope nothing happened…
(OOC: I forgot that Tyson is with them, so lets pretend he was never on the ship…)
His thoughts were interrupted as Tyson came skipping up to them with Ella at his heels.
"Big boat is here! Big boat is here, brother! Big boat! Big boat!"
Percy's eyes snapped open and he ran as fast as he could to the clearing, leaving Frank and Hazel in the dust.
Dang it! He ran to the fifth cohort's barracks, and grabbed his toga and ran outside as he tried to put it on. Luckily, he could still wear his actual clothes underneath. I hope Annabeth doesn't laugh at me. Oh well. Maybe we'll have a laugh over it.
When he arrived to the field of Mars, he found that there was a crowd there, already. He pushed and pulled his way to the front to see Reyna attack this boy with blonde hair. She went gladiator style and knocked him over with her body weight, sending him to the ground. Then he realized that she wasn't attacking him, she was hugging him. His eyes went searching for Annabeth. She wasn't there.
The crowd made a half circle around the front of the ship with the blonde boy and Reyna in the middle. Percy coughed uncomfortably and she quickly pushed herself away from the blonde boy. Despite the fact she looked a little embarrassed her smile was warm and happy. Wait, Reyna smiled? Anyways.
Percy then was able to see the blonde dude. He had light blue eyes and a blonde hair that was untangled. Or at least, not as tangled as his own. He had light freckles that danced across his nose. His smile was shining, like he had waited for this day for a long time. Percy couldn't blame him. He had dreamed for the day when he could go back to camp half blood. Hopefully, that would be soon.
"Well, Percy," Reyna said while smoothing out her toga "this is…"
"-Hi." Percy interrupted. "You must be Jason. I'm Percy, I've heard a lot about you, especially from Reyna."
She sent him a murderous glare, but she was blushing so it didn't have the whole IM GONNA KILL YOU effect.
Jason looked surprised for millisecond but recovered quickly. "Same here. Annab-I meant"
"PERR-RR-CY!" Grover literally just tumbled out of the boat and ran to Percy as fast as he could. A few Romans lifted their spears in surprise but Percy sent them the 'It's ok' hand motion and they relaxed a little bit.
"Hey G-man! OOF."
Percy nearly got the air blown out of him. Since when did Grover get that strong? Must be the whole, "Lord of the Wild" thing.
"Oh, sorr-rr-y Perce." He looked sheepish and stared at his hooves. Same ole' same ole' Grover.
"What's that mean?" Percy returned the hug by giving him a huge bear hug with a slap on the back. "I missed you guys so much! Who else is here?"
"That would be me, Kelp head." Thalia walked down to Percy and slapped him hard.
He winced. "I expected more of a hug, Pinecone Face."
"Pinecone Face?"
Jason walked up to them and put his arm around and a boy with pointy ears and a girl with brown eyes. At least he thought it was brown, but it seemed to have changed to a gold-brown color. And then a green-gold color.
Percy hadn't even noticed them join the small circle that had formed around him.
"What's up with that sis?"
"Jason, if you call me that I will slap you so hard you're gonna-"
"Wait. Hold on." Percy put his hands up in a surrender position, signaling wait a second.
"Did you just say Sis?"
She looked guilty for a second. "Yeah. It's a long story."
Percy chuckled, "I bet it is. I'm sure Annabeth can explain it to me. Where is Annabeth, by the way?"
They looked down, not wanting to meet Percy's eyes.
"Umm guys?"
Just then, they were interrupted by Rachel. She was dressed in a dark pink jacket with a few doodles on the sleeves. Must be new if there are only a little doodles, he thought. That with of pair white jeans layered in every color imaginable. She ran up to Percy and gave him a huge smile.
"Hey Percy! We missed you so much! How have you been?"
For a moment his mind was off Annabeth, so they took this opportunity to distract him some more. Anything but to tell him about Annabeth.
"Hey Rachel I've been good, thanks." Percy hugged her and playfully glared at all of them and said, "Wow, none of you asked me that so far.
Oh yeah, you were busy slapping me." He said with a look shooted at Thalia. "Who are these guys?" he asked.
"Oh! Sorry guys. Percy, this is Piper McLean and Leo Valdez, daughter of Aphrodite and son of Hephaestus.
"McLean, you said? Is your dad Tristan McLean, by any chance?"
She grimaced but managed a "yeah."
Everybody sent Percy a drop it look, but he didn't seem to get it.
"Oh sweet! I loved the part where he goes all, And you're teeth can be like mine! in the toothpaste commercial. My mom and I used to try to imitate his smile and all that when I was younger."
No one knew what Percy was talking about but apparently Piper did. She smiled and a small smile played on her lips. Whatever Percy had said, it had made her feel more comfortable, and less like an outsider.
And then he turned his attention to Leo. "Hey, man. I'm Percy. Nice to meet you." When Leo didn't say anything and just fiddled around with his hands he whispered, "I hope my girlfriend didn't do anything to make you feel uncomfortable around me or anything. I'm cool, you're cool. We all demigods here. No need for awkwardness.
Leo looked around and Thalia grimaced like she was gonna do something painful and gave him a small restrained nod.
"YES! I CAN TALK NOW!"
Percy gave Thalia a quizzical look.
"Leo's annoying so we told him not to talk to you so he wouldn't scare you. I'm surprised he listened."
That's Thalia, straight to the point.
"Oh Dude, I've heard so much about you! You're like, "The Chosen One" at Camp" he said making air quotes around the words The Chosen One. "I'm Leo by the way. Or the Supreme Commander of the Ergo 2 or Mr. Hotness or…" Leo opened his mouth to say something else but Piper elbowed him and he stopped.
"So," Thalia started, "meet anyone worth meeting?"
"Yeah, of course! Meet Ha-" He stopped, remembering he had basically ditched them. He felt terrible.
"Really, Percy. I expect more from you." Rachel said in a mock teacher-like tone.
"Hazel! Frank!" he called. Soon, they were next to him.
"Sorry about that." He mumbled.
"No problem, Percy. We knew you wanted to see Annabeth, anyway." She said with a wink.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot about her." He looked up expecting smiles but didn't get them.
"Guys…" he began, something forming at his throat. "Where's Annabeth?" he asked, sort of not wanting to know the answer.
"She's here, right." It came out starting as a question but ended up as a statement.
The others shifted from foot to foot.
"About that Percy…" Thalia started, "Where. is. she."
His voice got very soft but was full of sharpness.
"She's on the boat, but-"
She didn't finish. Percy shoved pass them all and ran towards the boat.
"Annabeth? Annabeth!"
Percy circled all of the decks in search of Annabeth.
He finally found her on the second level in a room marked infirmary Annabeth's neat cursive writing. Inside, there were a couple of beds lined against the walls and bookshelves with nectar, ambrosia, Dora the Explorer band aids with some other stuff that Percy didn't know.
He saw Annabeth lying on a bed. Her hair was out of its usual ponytail and she was wearing her camp t-shirt. She was on her side with one of her arms on top of the covers and the other below her head serving as a pillow. She seemed so peaceful when she slept.
He saw a loose strand of hair and tucked it behind her ear. She shifted slightly, but didn't wake up.
Oh good. She's not dead. He thought.
She shifted some more, but stirred out of her rest. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and got up, not noticing Percy. Then she noticed him.
"Annabeth?" he called gently.
A bunch of emotions showed on her face. Happiness, disbelief, pain, sadness… an endless amount.
She immediately teared up and ran from the room, leaving Percy slightly hurt, but very worried.
"Annabeth! Wait up!" he ran from the room but was stopped by Thalia. She opened her mouth to say something but Percy beat her to it.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Percy, she… she cant seem to remember anybody right now. She knows a lot about math and English and all that junk, but she can't remember any people."
She stopped, seeing how this was sinking in. When he didn't say anything she kept going.
"She didn't remember me either."
How could she not remember me?
"Did you give her nectar?"
"We gave her everything! Nectar, embrosia, … nothing. She's just there staring into space."
She broke off. He realized that this was affecting her too. As it should, Thalia had practically been her sisiter.
"I… gotta go Percy. See you."
Ok? I wasn't that satisfied with this ending, but itll get better. Hopefully.
Percy: Come on! Annabeth, remember me!
Me: She will soon. Maybe. Depends on the reviews.
Percy: come on guys!
Who's POV should I do next? Jason? Thalia? Annabeth?
