I'm so sad! This is the last chapter for my first every Christmas series! But I had so much fun writing these one-shots and I can't wait to do it again, next year.

I'm sorry if some parts seemed rushed but I just wanted to finish it before New Year's Eve.

This chapter was super fun to write, because I wrote our favorite demigods as the crazy teenagers they should be.

A special thanks to whosaidblondescantread, cam489, Di Blythe, SeaweedBrainandWisegirl, SakuraFlutist, and finally PercyJacksonOneDirection! Thank you all so much for the reviews! It means a lot to me!

Now I hope you enjoy this final chapter! I do not owe the characters (except my own) or any of the songs sung by these crazy demigods! Enjoy!


5:50 PM

Jason got up from his seat and went to hug his old best friend. "Reyna, so good to see you again."

Reyna hugged back her best friend. "Likewise," she pulls away and greets the rest of the seven and Nico.

Rachel also greeted the rest of her friends and took a seat in the seven's table. "How's life everyone?"

"Perfect," said Annabeth. Smiling when Reyna hugged her. "Just perfect."

Everyone were converting with one another, laughing over jokes, and retelling old stories. Piper was currently telling the one when she took Percy to her father's film, as a late birthday present.

What Piper didn't know, was that Percy was a die hard fan for Tristan McLean films. So when he saw Tristan dressed in his costume, Percy needed to be held back from four guards. Afraid he would attack Tristan if he didn't sign his shirt, arm, and cheek. It took a bunch of charm speaking to make Percy calm down. Since then, Piper vowed to never bring any of her friends to one of her fathers film sets.

Percy stared at his cheeseburger. "I still didn't get that autograph..."

Another story was the time Piper was giving a new demigod a tour of the camp. It was just after the Giant war.

(Flashback)

"And these are a few of the cabins that are under construction. We're currently remolding the Athena, Hermes, Aphrodite, and Ares cabin at the moment." Piper went through some notes. "Any questions so far?" She asked the newcomer.

Brittany shook her head. "Not at the moment," she looks around in amazement. "This is so unreal."

Piper giggles. "I know how you feel."

Britney continues to look around when she notices two very attractive boys. "Who are they?"

The daughter of Aphrodite looks at where Britney was pointing and giggles. "That's my boyfriend Jason and our friend Percy. They're the sons of Zeus and Poseidon, two of the big three. Sometimes they can be very-"

"-Piper run!" Shouted Jason, interrupting what Piper was going to say.

Piper looks at her boyfriend in confusion. "What, why?"

Percy points to what appeared like walking fire. "That is why!"

Leo was in complete 'fire on' mode. His whole body was erupt in flames and he looked ready to kill from the look in his eyes.

"Jason," he shouted. "Percy! Come here and face me you motherfuckers!"

Britney just watched the scene unfold right in front of her. Piper angrily glare at her boyfriend and friend. "What. Did. You. Do!?"

Percy chuckled nervously. "We may have..."

"...flooded bunker nine." Jason finished for his friend. "Shit, Percy, he's almost near! I love you Piper no matter what!" The two boys bolted into the forest, pushing a couple of other demigods out of the way.

Britney watched the two boys run into the forest. Leo chasing behind them. "Is that normal?" She asked Piper.

"Not exactly." Then she laughed. "You should've seen the time Nico and Frank burn down half of the Athena cabin. Annabeth almost killed them."

Britney and Piper didn't say anything, but watched as Leo started a mini forest fire. Piper clapped her hands together to get the stunned demigod attention. "Okay! And lets go check out the amphitheater."

(End of Flashback)

Everyone laughed when Piper finished telling her story. "On the bright side, Jason and Percy weren't killed that day."

"They could've been though," mumbled Leo.

Dinner lasted for another thirty minutes, until everyone left to their respective party zones. Knowing that Nico and Lacey were under fifteen, Nico had to shadow travel inside the amphitheater. Just to avoid the satyrs that were checking everyone at the entrance.

Lacey was excited for tonight. She considered Nico as a good friend and was happy to have him as her date. Nico was also happy to be with Lacey. She was a better date than another girl who wanted him as her date.

"Um, Nico? What happened to your hair?" Asked Lacey, noticing Nico's fedora's hat was missing.

Nico was known for his black hair that reached his shoulders and was always messy. Instead, Nico now had an undercut hairstyle. It actually looked really good on him.

Nico noticed his fedora was miss and started to freak out. Lacey giggled, "I love this new look." She told him. "It really suits you."

The Ghost King blushes. "Thanks."


6:45 PM

The bash was crazier than what Leo had predicted. Demigods were dancing like there was no tomorrow. Couples were so close to each other, it can give their parents a heart attack. Or Chiron.

The son of Hephaestus was chilling by the snack table. Eating some cupcakes with blue frosting and rainbow sprinkles. Will and his band was going to perform soon, that's something to look forward to. Right?

Leo sighed and puts the half eaten cupcake on the table. This Christmas was the best one, ever since his mom passed away. He celebrated the holiday with his friends. Piper even got him a new tool belt that was magical, thanks to the Hecate cabin. Despite all of the gifts he got from his friends, Leo knew something was missing. Calypso.

The young demigod missed the immortal girl so much, it was starting to hurt. He'll be the first to admit that they didn't start off on the right foot. Leo wasn't very fond of Calypso when he landed on her table. It was just a table! But it didn't set well with Calypso. Anyways, over time the two started to work together and eventually shared a kiss. Well it was more like Calypso caught Leo off guard and captured his lips. It was literally the best first kiss ever.

"Leo!" Leo looked around to see Rachel and another girl walking towards him. "Hey, what's up?" He shouted over the music.

Rachel smiles, "This is Jackie. Daughter of Iris." She introduced the girl to Leo. "Jackie, Leo Valdez."

Leo had to admit Jackie was a very pretty girl. Despite the flashing lights, he can tell she had strawberry blonde hair and sky blue eyes. Jackie sort of reminded Leo of Calypso. Except for the eyes, she had warm brown eyes.

Leo smiles at the girl. "Nice to meet you."

Jackie blushes. "Likewise."

Rachel smirks in satisfaction and claps her hands together. "Okay! Now that, that's done." A upbeat song starts to play, making everyone on the dance floor move. "Well, I must go now since the dance floor is calling my name." The oracle leaves the two alone, hoping her plan to set up Leo with Jackie will work.

Jackie shyly looks at the ground. "So...do you want to-"

"I would love to," Leo gently smiles at Jackie and takes her hand.

What she didn't know was the smile on Leo's face, was filled with heartbreak.


7:15 PM

Clarisse tapped the on microphone, once the music has died down. She hated to speak in public, led alone in front of the whole camp while wearing a dress. It sort of killed her reputation as the badass daughter of Ares.

When everyone quieted down, she began to speak. "Okay listen up! As you all know tonight we are celebrating New Years Eve!" The crowd erupted in cheers and some guys wolf whistled at Clarisse. She glared at one guy who whistled at her, but then smirks when his date slaps him behind the head. "Anyways, Thing 1 and Thing 2 had set up a satellite dish, monster free, for we can check up on Times Square. Lets take a look." Clarisse moves to the side from the projector and the screen quickly fades to Channel 3.

Percy watches as they show Times Square being filled with mortals. They all looked so happy. Some demigods were pointing out their relatives that appeared on the screen. Some even texted them, saying they're on tv. He tries to see if his mother was in the crowd, but no luck at all.

She's probably at home, Percy thought. Most likely watching the New Year's Eve special with Paul at the apartment.

After a couple of more minutes watching the news, the screen fades and starts to show pictures taken from the past few months.

Clarisse appears back on stage. "We will do another check up at Times Square in another two hours." She looks at the notecard and says, "Now we have a very special band performing for us tonight. You all know them as the sons of Apollo, give it up for Sunshine Bears!"

"Sunshine Rays!" Will shouted at Clarisse to correct.

"It's not an improvement," Clarisse smirks and gets off the stage to reunite with Chris.

Will rolls his eyes and gets on stage with his two brothers Marcus and Augustus. He stands in front of the mic and talks to the crowd, while his brothers get ready. "We're actually called, Sunshine Rays, so don't believe Clarisse! Anyways, we're going to be here all night long. Lets get this party start!"

Marcus began to play the bass and then Augustus starts to play the drums. After a couple of beats Will sings his first song.

Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Oh, oh, oh.

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons I learned

The crowd cheered as they danced with the wonderful music, the Apollo kids were making. What they didn't know, was that they have all received the blessing from their father, before going on stage. Thank Apollo for that.


8:10 PM

After helping at least thirty couples get together, the goddess of love felt exhausted. She was still in the mortal world, but was resided in a coffee shop. Aphrodite wasn't a fan of caffeine, but she really needed it.

She orders herself a hot chocolate with a blueberry muffin. Once Aphrodite gets her order, she sits in a couch and rethinks what she did.

Aphrodite had least set up six teenagers, five elderly, ten young adults, and nine middle age adults together. All being one another's soulmate. The goddess of love smiles to herself. She felt very pleased from all her hard work.

"Well, someone is feeling like Cupid tonight." Aphrodite looks up and smiles. "Athena, nice to see you here."

Athena sat down on the couch next to her half-sister. She was dressed in a black coat with leggings and high heeled boots. "You have no idea how hard it was to get through those mortals."

"Oh I know right! They're just so crazy when it comes to festivals," Aphrodite takes a sip of her drink. "But I'm completely fine with it. The crazier they are, greater the chances of them finding love easier."

"So that's what you've been doing isn't?" Questioned Athena. "Setting up people like that?"

Aphrodite shrugged, taking out a mirror to check her lipstick. "Maybe I have been doing just that. So what?"

Athena frowned, "So what? These mortals need to learn on finding love on their own!" She hissed. Athena made sure to keep her voice down, for no one can hear their conversation. "I'm going to let this go because it's the holidays. However, I do have one assignment for you."

This caught Aphrodite's attention. "Does this involve setting up someone?"

"It involves more like breaking someone from prison and then setting them up with their lost love."

Aphrodite closed her mirror and smirks at the goddess of wisdom. "I'm all ears, sister."


8:57 PM

Piper drinks down a whole cup of punch before dumping it in a trash can. She and Reyna were both tired from dancing, and needed a cold drink. Reyna had to admit that when her lips tasted the punch, it did burn her throat and tasted funny.

"I bet the Stolls spiked the punch," said Piper. "I should've seen it coming."

Reyna rolls her eyes but giggles. After the war was over and Jason had chosen to stay at Camp Half-Blood, Reyna had come to accept his choices. Sure it was upsetting, but his happiness meant more to Reyna.

Occasionally, Jason would sometimes visited Reyna in Rome and sometimes even brought Piper with him. Over time, the two girls began to talk and eventually became good friends. Reyna never hated Piper for taking Jason. She was just jealous Jason allowed Piper into his arms, faster than with her.

Reyna noticed one boy was staring her. At first Reyna pointed at Piper, but the boy shook his head and pointed at the Roman instead.

Reyna leaned in Piper's ear and said, "There's a boy staring at me."

The daughter of Aphrodite looks around until she spots the boy. It was one of the Athena kids named, Ricky. "Thats Ricky. He's a cutie," said Piper. "Go talk to him!"

Reyna looks at Ricky then back at Piper. She shakes her head. "I can't do that! What if I freeze or say something so Roman?"

The Cherokee girl slapped her hand into her forehead. "Are you seriously going to make me give you love advice?" Piper sighs and looks at Reyna dead in the eye. "Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano, you are seriously the most powerful and the most beautiful person I've ever seen. Even more beautiful than me! Lets not forget brave because you're the one who beat the crap out of Octavian!" Reyna smiled at the memory. "Now you go over there and show him just how fun and sexy Roman girls can be."

Piper gently pushes Renya and watches the scene unfold. "Never use my full name again!" She groaned and walked towards Ricky.

The daughter of love watches as Reyna talks to Ricky and when he eventually led her to the dance floor. Suddenly, Piper felt two arms being wrapped around her waist. "Jason..."

Jason chuckled and kissed her cheek. "You seriously are a knockout." Piper smiled. She remembered when he said that after receiving the blessing of Aphrodite. "Lets dance." Jason laughs as he was pulled to the dance floor by his girlfriend.


9:15 PM

Hazel, Piper, Reyna, Rachel, and Annabeth were very tempted to go on stage. Not to sing, but to dance with the band. They were getting extremely tempted to do so.

"Should we do it?" Hazel asked again.

Reyna shrugged. "It won't be so mature of me do, but it would be one hell of an experience!"

Piper and Annabeth giggled at how loose Reyna was acting. The spike punch she drank was starting to effect the Roman.

Rachel held both Hazel and Piper's hand. "Lets do it girls!" The oracle leads the girls backstage and Piper charmspeak a the guards to let them go on stage.

The band was in the middle of the song, when the danced their way on the stage. Will chuckled during the guitar solo. "Looks like we have a couple of fans!" He announces to the crowd, they just keep growing wild. "I think I have the perfect song for them. Rachel, do you think you can help me out?"

Rachel grins and grabs a mic from the side of stage. "Show me what you got, Solace."

Will smirks and held up three fingers. A signal for his brother to start playing a duet song.

(Rachel) Sing it out
Boy, you've got to see what tomorrow brings
Sing it out

(Will) Girl, you've got to be what tomorrow needs
For every time that they want to count you out
Use your voice every single time you open up your mouth

(Rachel) Sing it for the boys

(Will) Sing it for the girls

(Both) Every time that you lose it sing it for the world
Sing it from the heart
Sing it till you're nuts
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it for the blind
Sing about everyone that you left behind
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world

(Rachel) Sing it out, boy they're gonna sell what tomorrow means

(Will) Sing it out, girl before they kill what tomorrow brings
You've got to make a choice
If the music drowns you out
And raise your voice
Every single time they try and shut your mouth

(Rachel) Sing it for the boys

(Will) Sing it for the girls

(Both) Every time that you lose it sing it for the world
Sing it from the heart
Sing it till you're nuts
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it for the blind
Sing about everyone that you left behind
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world

(Both) Cleaned-up corporation progress
Dying in the process
Children that can talk about it,
Living on the railways
People moving sideways

(Will) Sell it till your last days
Buy yourself a motivation
Generation Nothing,
Nothing but a dead scene
Product of a white dream

(Rachel) I am not the singer that you wanted
But a dancer
I refuse to answer
Talk about the past, sir
Wrote it for the ones who want to get away

(Both) Keep running!

(Rachel) Sing it for the boys

(Will) Sing it for the girls

(Both) Every time that you lose it sing it for the world
Sing it from the heart
Sing it till you're nuts
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it for the blind
Sing about everyone that you left behind
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world

(Both) Got to see what tomorrow brings
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world
Girl, you've got to be what tomorrow needs
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world

Will laughed once the song ended and looked at Rachel. "For an oracle you don't sing so bad."

Rachel smirks and hands the microphone over to Reyna. "I can't sing, as well as this girl right here." Rachel pats the Roman's back and goes back dancing with the other girls.

The crowd chants Reyna's name to sing. She looks around and sees Jason was cheering the loudest. Reyna needed to let loose for once. She may be praetor, but she was also a teenager. And sometimes teenagers want to have fun! But to much fun, that Reyna will do something stupid that will later end up online.

She looks over at Augustus and says, "Hit it!"

Augustus winks at Reyna and hits the drums to a song, the Roman should know. Luckily, she did very well.

Once upon a time a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me-e-e-e-e

Reyna was in love with Jason once.

And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me

He only saw her as a sister or just a really good friend. Jason never saw her as his girlfriend or the women he wants to spent his life with.

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies. He'll never see you cry,
Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why.
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning-ing-ing-ing-ing
Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see-e-e-e-e

He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me
Hey!

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

Reyna knew Jason loved Piper truly. He looked at her the way all girls want to be looked at by the son of Zeus.

And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah

Reyna looked at the crowd and her eyes fell on a pair of dark blue eyes. He looked at her sadly, but gave Reyna a thumbs up. Reyna smiled.

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (you were right there, you were right there)
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble!

Once the song ended, Jason was in the crowd next to Percy. "You don't think that song was about me. Right?"

The son of Poseidon chuckled. He took a sip of his punch. "Nah, I don't think so."

Leo snorted a laugh. "Yeah, it was!"

Jason slapped the Latino behind the head.


10:23 PM

Photographs that were taken this year began to appear on the projector, Travis and Conner had installed. The seven were sitting down on a table, watching the pictures and laughing at the memories.

Some were even taken when they went to school. Percy, Annabeth, and Piper were the three who were forced to attend school. Percy was happy that Piper was in nearly every one of his classes. Her charmspeak comes in very handy, when he needed to get out of trouble.

A picture showed up of Thalia and Jason, sticking their tongues out and giving the peace sign. Jason sadly smiled. He missed his sister, but knew she was okay with the hunters.

"Aw, don't me and my little brother look cute?" Jason looks up and sees Thalia standing in front of the their table.

"Thalia!" Jason ran to his sister and pulled her in a tight hug. "I thought you were out with the hunters!"

Thalia laughs, showing her weapons and putting them on the table. "I was, but Artemis allowed me to visit you guys." She looks around. "Wow. You really know how to throw a party."

Annabeth greeted her close friend. "Happy to see you here." She offered a red cup to the huntress. "Drink?"

"Don't mind if I do." Thalia takes the drink and chugs it all down. She slams the cup on the table, a smug look on her face. "Should we party?"


10:46 PM

"Come on," whispered Calypso. "You can't be dying right now! It's a full moon."

The goddess continued to whispered words at her dying moon lace. Luckily, it began to bloom again. Much to Calypso's delight. She waters her plant and the rest of her garden.

"Oh! I seriously love the roses and the water lilies you've planted!" Spoke a very high pitched voice. Calypso turned around and saw her least favorite goddess. "Aphrodite."

Aphrodite stepped into the light, where the moonlight was shinning. She scowled. "Why is everyone upset of seeing me today?"

"Maybe because you also make tragic love stories!" Snapped Calypso. She could care less if the goddess of love would curse her. She was already trapped in this island.

Aphrodite glared at Calypso, but then slowly smiled. "I came here to finally give you the freedom you deserve. But you don't look like you're up for it." She was about to disappear when Calypso called out, "Wait! What about freedom?"

The goddess grinned. "Maybe it's time you left this island and find your lost love." She sniffs the air and coughs. "And maybe a little makeover won't kill as well."

Calypso gulped. This was not going to end so well.


11:08 PM

"Conner, move the cannon to the right!" Directed his brother Travis.

Conner does as told and moves the cannon by where the crowd mostly was. "Okay! That's down for now." He looked around. "Hey where's Leo?"

"He's checking the fireworks again." Said Travis. "He thought it would be cool to do a small firework show once the clock strikes twelve."

The Stoll brothers have become good friends with Leo over the months. They've pulled pranks together and started a couple of food fights during dinner. Much to the Aphrodite and Demeter cabins dismay. Also Chiron, but he just laughed from the side.

Conner and Travis fist pumped each other. Happy that they have set up the confetti cannons on time.

Meanwhile...

Annabeth and Piper watche from the side as their boyfriends, Percy and Jason, started to dance battle each other. At first the two couples were dancing next to each other, until Percy and Jason started to show off. Now, there was a dance battle.

The band was taking a break, so another demigod was being the DJ. Annabeth groans in embarrassment when Percy starts to do the 'sprinkler.' Piper groans in even louder when Jason tries to shuffle.

Thalia was ashamed to have a brother and a cousin, but she happily recorded them to later show the hunters.

Jason smirked when Percy was running out of breath. "Give up, Jackson?"

Percy grinned, "You wish, Grace."

The DJ and the other demigods were getting sick of watching the two. It started as a interesting battle, but now it was getting ridiculous. Rachel was standing next to the DJ and whispered in his ear. He nods to Rachel and takes the mic.

"Okay, Jason, Percy, you both win!" He announced, making the two demigods raise a brow, but then they shake hands. Laughing at one another. DJ sighs in relief. "So we have plenty have time before the younger campers come in, for the final countdown. Currently, in New York they are just doing some final interviews with the mortals. Nothing special, so...grab your date, hold them close, for this is slow dancing."

The demigods grabbed their respective dates or some grabbed the one available next to them. DJ started to play a slow love song and danced with Rachel himself. Since she was just right next to him. Hopefully, Apollo won't mind she's sharing a dance with a boy.

Jason happily held Piper close to him, as they slowed dance. It was ironically their song that was playing. You can never go wrong with Hero, by Enrique Iglesias.

"I love you," he whispered to her ear.

Piper giggled, "I love you too, Sparky."

Annabeth and Percy were also slow dancing as well. They weren't making eye contact, but remained close to each other. They've been through so much in the past year. Percy lost his memories, he then regained them, Annabeth hard a dangerous quest but then succeeded. Then, they fell into Tartarus later closing the doors and escaping with the seven. And finally, when Percy was stabbed and had died in the war.

It was Annabeth's darkest hour of knowing Percy was dead. He wasn't the only one of the seven who lost their live. Piper, Hazel, and Frank had died at one point in the war against the giants. Leo, Annabeth, and Jason were the only survivals of the seven. Zeus decided to once again, grant the demigods a wish. All of them asked the same thing.

Bring their friends backs.

The gods weren't sure what to do with such a strong request. All three silently prayed they will grant their wish. It wasn't until they heard a voice say, "Wise Girl," the demigods knew their friends were back.


11:28 PM

Hazel was officially getting super excited for the midnight kiss. Especially if she was sharing if with Frank. In fact, she had refused to kiss Frank until midnight. He was fine with if, but did manage to sneak kisses in kisses on her cheek. Both were having a very magical night.

When the Sunshine Rays were playing, Frank allowed Hazel to sit on his shoulders so she can see better. Thank Mars for the blessing.

Right now Hazel and Frank were seated down. They were drinking some soda to have more energy after midnight. The party was seriously going all night long.

Frank kissed Hazel's hand. "I'm having the time of my life." He told his girlfriend. She giggled, "So am I."

It was now very hard to imagine what their life's would be if none wasn't present. They died together at the war and hopefully they would end their second chance at live together as well.

Hazel had already turned fourteen and she couldn't be more grateful. She was surprised her father had given her a second chance in life. But she had surprised him, by hugging him and thanking him over and over again. The gods have never seen Hades blush before. It was very rare.

After the war Hazel, Reyna, Frank, and the rest of the Romans went back to New Rome. To restore what was destroyed and to seal Octavian's fate. He was considered to dangerous and after Reyna had punched him, he was kicked out of Rome.

Last time Frank has heard of him was he was working at store, where they like make stuff animals or something. The thought of Octavian making a stuff animal made Frank shiver.

Hazel was more respected in camp, much thanks to Frank,
once he became praetor. And since he got the blessing of Mars, Frank had gotten quite popular and with the ladies at camp.

The daughter of Pluto remembered one time when Percy, Piper, and Jason visited Camp Jupiter. Frank was busy with a council meeting and Hazel was just catching up with her friends.

It was after the meeting when they all see Frank being surrounded by girls. They were all flirting and touching his muscles, causing Hazel's blood to boil. Percy needed to hold her back and Piper was just encouraging her to go over there and fight those girls. Jason was just the one to get Frank away from the girls, before Hazel made the ground open.

"Hazel?"

"Yeah?"

Frank took a deep breath. "I love you."

Hazel nearly choked on the cookie she was chewing on. This was the first time Frank had ever told her, he loved her. Instead of crying or screaming, Hazel just smiled. She kissed her boyfriend on tip of his nose. "I love you, too."


11:40 PM

"What do you mean, they ran out of blue cookies?!" Demanded Percy as Grover was eating some green enchiladas.

The satyr takes a bite of his meal. "Dude, it was a big hit! Literally everyone had at least one blue cookie." He wanted to take back his words when he noticed Percy was about to cry. "Oh...to soon?"

"Can't we steal from the little kids?" Percy suggested.

Grover shook his head. "I can't do that to those kids! That's like stealing Zeus's lightening bolt!" The sky erupted in thunder and Grover immediately apologized to the sky god. "Sorry!"

Percy crossed his arms and glared at all of the little kids, as they entered the amphitheater. Each having at least one blue cookie in their hand. "You have got to be kidding me."

Grover just laughed.

Percy rolled his eyes and went to go get Annabeth.


11:50 PM

Leo doubled checked all of the fireworks and made sure they were ready for liftoff. He smiled to himself when all of the fireworks were good to go.

"Perfect!" He grinned and then leaned railing. Leo began to tap his fingers random, until he realized he was doing 'I Love You,' in morse code. Leo growled in annoyance.

Ever since he left Ogypia, Leo had found himself doing morse code. He never taught Calypso how to use the language, but he just felt like she was responding him back. Leo highly doubted it. He looks at his watch and notices there were only ten more minutes until midnight.

A new year. Leo seriously didn't know where he would be if he didn't have his friends. Would he be at another foster home? At a different country? Or would he be dead?

But that didn't matter now. Those question will forever remain unanswered.

Leo notices there are only six more minutes. He knew that right now, the Stoll brothers are warming up the crowd.

"Leo?" The son of Hephaestus didn't want to believe what he heard. That voice couldn't be here. He slowly turns around and drops the can of silly string. "Calypso?"

Calypso, the prisoner of her island, was truly standing right in front of him. Her hair was straight down and it perfectly reached her back. With a gold headband around her head. She had on a simple white dress with golden Greek sandals. Leo was amazed how truly beautiful the goddess can be.

"But how?!" He questioned, still not wanting to believe she was here.

She smiled brightly at him, taking his hand. "Aphrodite and Athena convinced Zeus to let me go." She explained. "I'm free now from the curse and also immortality."

"So you're a normal demigod now?" Calypso nodded. Leo couldn't help it, but kiss her on the lips. She happily returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. The whole time, Leo thanked the two goddesses and Zeus. Finally getting a break from torture.


11:58 PM

"Seaweed Brain, where are you taking me?!" Demanded Annabeth, not liking the idea of surprises.

Percy didn't answer but carried Annabeth on the dock. He didn't want her heels getting stuck on the wood with small cracks. Percy then slowly puts Annabeth on the ground.

"Do you remember the first time I said I love you?" He'd asked his girlfriend.

Annabeth nods. "Yeah...it was after the giants war and you came back from the dead." She closes her eyes and took a deep breath. "We were flying back to camp and you told me you loved me."

"And that feeling will never change. As long as we're together." Percy then does something Annabeth wasn't expecting at all.

He went down on one knee and pulled out a velvet box. "Annabeth Chase, will you someday marry me?"

They were far away from the amphitheater, but Annabeth can hear them start counting down to ten.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

"Six!"

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

So smiled and screamed, "Yes!"

"One! Happy New Years!"

Percy jumped up happily and slide the small heart shaped ring on Annabeth's ring finger. "I love you." He said and kissed Annabeth on the lips.

The two continued to kiss, until they pulled away to watch the fireworks go up in the sky. Annabeth had to admit, it was literally the best way to start the new year.


12:05 PM

The demigods laughed as the projector continued to play videos from the past year. Some began to cry since some pictures had their decrease sibling or friend.

Thalia and Jason laughed over one picture after they pulled a prank on each other. Nico even cracked a smile when a picture showed of him, Reyna, and the seven.

Piper and Hazel giggled madly when a picture of them two being covered in paint appeared. Now that was the funniest part of Hazels small birthday party.

Leo went around to introduce Calypso to all of his friends. Quickly, they accepted her in the family. Even Percy and Annabeth.

The girls were surrounding the daughter of Athena when she showed them the ring. The boys congratulated Percy, he even caught Nico smiling.

Annabeth smiled when they showed a old picture of her when she maybe ten, and new picture of today. Seventeen. When have the years gone by?

Being a demigod, every moment is special. Even the embarrassing ones. You'll never know when it will be the last time you smile or pull a prank on someone. When you fall in love with another person, it is also special. Not because some of the demigods are children of Aphrodite, but because you won't know if this will be the last person you'll love. Cherish each moment of your life. Never waste it. That was Annabeth's advice to herself and to everyone else.
