ANNABETH III

After breakfast the whole ship was tense, Jason sat silently, thinking to himself, his forehead scrunched up in irritated focus. Piper sat next to him, turning Katoptris in her hands and every so often looking up at Jason's desperate face. Annabeth felt guilty, making him go out first and face his old life by himself, but it was the best strategic move, she knew that, she just wished she wasn't hurting her friend. Everyone was focused except for Leo, who was playing with a fireball in his hands while simultaneously steering the ship.

Annabeth yelled, "Gods Leo, put that fire out and focus on not killing any Romans in the landing, will you? And don't show Camp Jupiter your powers until I tell you, we don't want them to think of us as a threat."

"Hehe, cool my powers make me a threat!" Leo said cheerfully as the fire in his palm vanished in a small puff of smoke. "Guys, because you all asked nicely, here's a warning from your supreme commander, we'll land in about five minutes."

Jason slowly unclenched his jaw and opened his eyes, looking nervous but confident at the same time. He is really brave to do what he was about to do, Annabeth thought, and strong for pushing through his loss of memory, no matter how hard it is. Piper put Katoptris back in its sheath and took Jason's hand. None of them were wearing armor, so as to not startle the Romans, and they were all going to leave their weapons inside the ship. They all stood below deck now, Leo could control the ship from down there. The big, steel hatch was right in front of Annabeth, it would be open in a minute or so, with her future standing before her. Whether good or bad she had decided one thing, Percy was going to be a part of it.

"O.K. guys, lets do this. Jason, are you ready?"

Jason replied to Annabeth, "I-I think so." He up looked at Piper, they were still holding hands. "Why doesn't Piper come with me?"

Piper snapped her head towards his, "What? What about the plan?...Why me?"

"She can use her charmspeaking Annabeth, she's getting really good, I'm almost positive she will help us."

Piper smiled but looked anxious. Annabeth replied, "If you think she can help, then fine. Piper, don't speak unless things seem to be going badly, don't give off a harsh presence either, you can do this," Annabeth smiled at her, "You know you're really important to the team right?"

Piper smiled back, "Thanks guys, maybe my powers will be useful this time." She laughed half-heartedly.

Jason looked at her confused, "Piper, your powers are incredible, you practically talked Gaia back to sleep at the Wolf House, and you saved my life, you're a hero."

Piper shook her head. "But I'm nothing like you guys, who can fight so well."

"Thanks Pipes!" Leo shouted.

"Not you Leo!" Piper laughed.

Jason turned to her, "That's what makes you great, you're special, just like all of us, we all need each other, and we all need you."

Piper smiled brightly, "O.K. then, lets do this!"

Leo shouted back, "Glad you're ready because we're going to land in 3-2-1…"

Annabeth held her breath as the ship landed with a thud. She couldn't see what was outside, there were no windows by her, but she saw the bright sunlight streaming in through the hatch in the ceiling they used to get below deck. Leo stepped towards them, looking less than his cheerful self.

"Ready to open this door guys?" He asked.

Everyone looked to Jason, and he nodded. Jason and Piper stood together, a bit behind the door. Leo and Annabeth stood behind them. Leo pushed a button, the hatch slowly lowered, sending a block of bright light into the dark room. Annabeth heard the thud of the hatch and the sound of Jason leaving the ship, with Piper behind him. She didn't open her eyes, she just listened.

Jason began, "Romans, for those of you who don't know me, I am Jason Grace, former Praetor of the Twelfth Legion. I stand before you knowing so much more than I did as your Praetor. As many of you may know, there is another camp for demigods, Camp Half-Blood, a camp for Greek demigods. When I was lost eight months ago, with no memory of who I am, not even my last name, they took me in as one of their own. I looked at them from a new perspective, not as a Roman taught to despise Greeks, and I learned that they mean us no harm, that there should be no hatred between us. We stand here asking for peace, and hospitality, so that we may all save our world, together."

Annabeth opened her eyes, adjusting to the sun that streamed in, anxiously waiting the Roman's reply. She looked at Leo, he looked nervous too, but he smiled in a playful way, and she was glad she had made these new friends. They listened intently. After a minute, some Roman girl replied,

"Welcome back to New Rome Jason, as Praetors, we declare a truce! Romans, put down your weapons! There will be absolutely no violence. That means you Octavian…"

Annabeth smiled, but then a shock wave hit her, Percy was on the other side of those doors, somewhere, and she wasn't ready to face him.

"Leo, you go first."

Leo looked at her nervously, "You sure?"

"Yeah, just give me a sec."

Annabeth saw Leo walk out into the sun, and then she was alone. She took a deep breath and stepped onto the metal plank, focusing on the sharp sound of her footsteps. When she finally looked up, she opened her eyes to a different world. Standing in front of her was hundreds of Romans, Leo, Jason and Piper were directly to her right. She looked straight into the crowd.

And then she saw him; he was more beautiful than she remembered. His black hair flipped around in the wind, she looked deep into his gorgeous sea-green eyes and thought she would melt right into her shoes. But she had to be strong, she knew that in her brain, but her heart was saying something else entirely. It seemed like minutes that she stood on the edge of the plank. But only seconds later she stepped onto the grassy field, one step closer to Percy. She finally looked at his expression… and it was confusion. Annabeth felt as if her heart would shatter right there, he didn't know who she was! She looked back at him with pleading eyes. He started to take slow steps towards her, the entire army silently watching. Every step he took closer towards her was heart-wrenching, he was becoming more of a reality to Annabeth, and she didn't want what she thought to be true. She caught her breath as he stepped up to her, turning her to the left, with his hands on her arms.

Then Percy said, "Annabeth, what's…what's wrong?"

The second she heard him say her name, it was like she was hearing music for the first time. She smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Percy… You remember me?"

Percy's look went from confusion, to delight at seeing her smile, to confusion again. He stepped even closer, "What- Why- would I not remember you?" he replied, so unsure of why Annabeth had thought that.

Annabeth sputtered out through her tears and smile, "You lost your memory, Seaweed Brain, that's how! And you never called me, you didn't even mention me in the message to your mom, I just thought- maybe-"

Percy pulled her into a tight hug, his arms around her waist. He whispered in her ear, "How could I forget the love of my life? I swear I never did. Not even when I didn't know my own name, I still knew yours, your smile, your kiss."

She looked into his eyes, "Really?" she felt the world come off of her shoulders, and she knew how that felt.

"Really. But maybe I could use a little reminder, of the last part I mean." He laughed and the memories of his laugh that Annabeth had clung to were nothing compared to the blissful reality. Annabeth laughed too, then he brushed her tears away. She wrapped her arms around his neck, standing partially on her tiptoes, she felt his arms wrap tighter around her waist, and then their lips met. It was electric, and Annabeth didn't care who saw. After about half a minute she heard someone whistle in the background, and she eventually pulled away to laugh and smile.
