8 years later

Third's persons POV

It has been eight years since both Annabeth and Percy appeared in the god's lives. Both Annabeth and Percy have been training since they were 5 years old and already master some of their powers. Both got shadow-travel down, although Percy got better control of his water powers than Annabeth, but Annabeth as faster reflexes and got better accuracy. At first the gods hated that they would have to do this (except for Poseidon and Athena of course) but after a while, all of the gods started to taking a liking to them . Since the very existence of both Percy and Annabeth is a secret, they became best friends. At one point, Athena asked her daughter is she wanted her own room, but she said no because of Percy. Athena argued at first, but they were best friends and she decided to have their own room for now. Percy and Annabeth do everything together. Train, sleep (bedtime), eat and hangout. Although the thing that do the most together is train. Thanks to Percy, Annabeth water powers are much better. She can make about half a gallon of water effortlessly, although any more than that and she gets tired really quickly. Annabeth can also heal herself very good. As for Percy, Annabeth helps Percy with some focus techniques by using his ADHD that her mother, Athena, taught her. Thanks to that, Percy is much more observant, thinks quicker and reacts faster. Although thanks to the blessing that Annabeth got from Artemis that Percy doesn't, Annabeth always has faster reflexes than Percy and how she always win when they spar. Each of them has some power over each other. For Annabeth, it's her reflexes and focus. For Percy, his water powers. As for the gods, they can't help but be happy and protective over them. Even Artemis has taking a liking to Percy, although not enough for her take him with her for training or at all for that matter. Artemis allows Annabeth to go with her to have some experience in monster hunting and how to fight in a real life or death match. As for Percy he goes to his father's palace to practice against sea creature. No matter what, both Percy and Annabeth love each other as best friends and feel protective for each other, even though they are just eight years old.

At Olympus

Athena's POV

I was in my library working on something for my dad, when Annabeth can running through the door and engulfed her mother in a very tight hug. Damn, for an eight year old girl, she sure has a strong hug.

''Hey honey, what are you doing here. Aren't you suppose to be on a hunt for some big monster with Aunt Artemis.'' I said with a smile on my face.

''Yes I was, but I defeated the monster we were hunted earlier than we thought and then after a few sessions with her, she put me here." She said with her sweet little voice.

''Oh by the way where seaweed brain" she said. I couldn't help but smile at her little nickname for Percy. She told that why she called Percy that. Annabeth said that since he is the son of the sea god and act really stupid and silly sometimes, it's like his brain is full of seaweed.

"Oh I'm sorry Annabeth, but he already left to his father's palace to practice" I said as sweetly as I possibly could.

"Oh that reminds me, I need to go see Uncle Poseidon to see if my present for Percy is done" She said. I was sort of confused, which I hate, present for what.

" Annabeth honey, present for what." I said questionly . Then Annabeth did chucked and said,

"Don't tell me you forgot mom. It's for Christmas.'' She said matter-of-factly. Right then and there, I felt really embarrassed for two reasons. One I almost forgot to get them a present and Two, I actually forgot something. I guess I have been so busy that I forgot.

"Okay, but you have to wait at least an hour before you go. Percy trains for about that long a day with his family at his father's palace". I said. Then she nodded cutely and I said

"How are all of your studies going." I said. Then her eyes light up and I knew what was going to happen.

"They are going great mom. I was in the library yesterday and I found a really great book about modern and Ancient Greek architecture and I found out that a lot of people still use the same patterns." Annabeth said matter-of-factly.

For about the next hour, Annabeth and I have been the exact same thing and I would hardly have to correct her, only about two or three time. She also told me what her present was going to be for Percy (I'm not going to tell you guys because I promised to keep it a secret) and I thought it was really sweet. Soon she started to get her things and left for Poseidon's palace. As soon as she left, I disappeared in a golden light to get my Annabeth a Christmas present I think she is going to like.

At Poseidon's palace

Annabeth POV

I was on my way, to Poseidon's palace to see if my gift for Percy was ready or not. So I decided that I was swimming to Atlanta because a). Thanks to Poseidon blessing, I can breathe underwater and not get crushed by the pressure and b) Since I can still get wet I love the feeling of water. It calms me down and it feels amazing. Anyway, I bet you're all wondering, why I'm only going to get Percy a present. It is not because I deeply care about him, as my best friends, it's just that if I get a gift for a god, i bet they would already have it or had it once. So I decided to get Percy a gift and I asked Poseidon if he can get it done it his forge. I about made it to the Poseidon's palace and I saw two guards, on one with dark blue armour and the other with a sea- green armour, the same colour as Percy eyes and I could help blush at the thought of him. Wait, why am I blushing. Percy is just a friend and becided we are only eight years old i thought. Anyway, shock my head and started to go inside when both of the guards blocked my path with their tridents.

"What business do you have here, daughter of Athena and how the Hades can you be down and not drown or get crushed by the pressure" the one with a dark blue armour said with disgust on his face.

"Well, I'm to see if the project I asked Poseidon to do is completed and the reason I can be here without drowning or being crushed is because when I was born, Poseidon gave me his blessing." I said matter- of-factly

"LIES" both of them yelled and I flinched, not because I was scared, I bet I could take both of these guys out effortlessly, it was because it surprised me. "There is no way Lord Poseidon would do that to a child of Athena, due to the feud." the one with sea-green armour said.

"Oh the feud, that ended when I was giving my blessing from Poseidon. At first they hated it, but they started to get close and the feud ended. Now they are best friends." I said with a big grin on my face.

"Stop with the lying girl, I do not know what kind of sorcery you used, but if you know what good for you" the blue armoured one said.

Then the doors open and came out Percy and Poseidon. Both of the guards bowed and then they turned to me

"Forgive me, my lord Poseidon and Lord Perseus; we shall give rid of the daughter of Athena as soon as possible. Please forgive us" the one in dark blue armour said while still bowing.

"And to mention she was saying lies like that you blessed her and that the feud with Athena ended" the other one said. Then both Percy and Poseidon and Percy turned to look at each other and started to laugh and then turned to the very confused guards.

"I'm afraid that the girl speaks the truth men, so if you would please lower you weapons and let the little girl inside" Poseidon said with a smile on his face. At first, the two guards did nothing, but about half a minute later, they hesitantly lowered their weapons and let me inside. As I was walking inside, I turned around and stick my tongue at them and then I saw very angry face and glares from the both of them and went inside. Now I have been at Poseidon's palace a bunch of time and each time, I can't over the architecture. The ceiling has a Muriel with a beautiful sunset and two dolphins jumping from the water. The tiles are sea-green and the columns are blue with green strips that look like waves.

After about a minute of looking around and admiring the place, Poseidon and Percy both gave me a hug and then Poseidon said

''My dear, what business do you need from me" then I turned to Percy and said to him

"Can you please wait for me in the hall, Percy. I need to talk to Poseidon about something very important" then he made a huge smile and nodded and left.

''Wait isn't he going to hear us?"I said. then Poseidon chucked,

"No dear, I made sure that the room we are in right now is sound proof." Poseidon said matter-of-factly.

"It about the gift that I asked for you to build for me" I said

"Yes it was just finished yesterday. We could have finished it ealier, but we ran out some of the rare materials that we needed and it took a while to find enough to finish'' Poseidon said while giving me a small, sea-green box. I looked inside and i smiled and gave him a big hug.
"Thank you so much, he is going to like" I said happily.

Then Poseidon started to laugh and said "You're very welcome. Now I think I should send you home so you can safely rap it for tomorrow. It is almost 9 o clock." He said. then I realised what he said and i looked at the clock and gave a small curse(but not out loud of course. Do you any idea how much trouble I would be in if I said out loud)

Poseidon must have seen my expression and he laughed. Then he got on his knees and put one hand on my shoulder and said "Close your eyes" so I did and the next thing I knew I was in my room with my present in my hands and then I put it under the tree and went to bed. Man, what a day.

At Poseidon palace

Percy's POV

I was in dad's throne room when he appeared in a sea-green light.

"So how was it father can you tell me what she told you in details please" i said trying to delay him from leaving

''Ahh, nice try Percy. I made a promise and don't think I don't know what you're trying to do." Dad said with confidence. Then i sighed and said

"Yeah I was just playing with you, so is it ready." I said. You see I asked dad if he would build me something for Annabeth and when I asked him, he had a huge smile and said yeah.

"Yes it is. It was finished a few days ago, but they wanted to check it out to see it didn't have any problems. So lets you home already and go to bed". He said with a small smile on his face. Then I nodded gave him a small kiss and shadowed-travelled back to my room and I saw Annabeth already sleeping. So I changed into my pjs and then went to bed.

The next morning

Third person's pov

It was Christmas and both Percy and Annabeth got up early and went to the throne room. When the kids came running into the throne room, the big three, Athena, the twins and Demeter were on their thrones with smile on their face. Then every got up, shrank down to the human sizes and then said merry Christmas to them and then they started to give Presents to them.
For Percy, from Zeus and Hera, he got a belt that gives him the ability to fly without using the winds and a solid gold peacock feather. From his dad, he got the cutest baby black horse and Percy said that he going to call his horse black-jack. The horse neighed and Percy heard a voice in his head I like it boss. At first he was pretty freaked out, but he remembered that his father was the creature of horse. Finally, Hades gave him a stygian iron dagger. After all that he said "come on guys, I can't possibly said take all of this" then Poseidon said, "Nonsense. You deserve it."

For Annabeth, from Poseidon, she got a beautiful necklace with an emerald in the middle. From the twins, she got a solid gold bow and a quiver that never runs out of arrows. From Hades (which she found very strange) she got a belt that gives her as many small daggers as she needs during a battle. Finally from her mother, invisibility hat that said NY on it.

After all that, they both said in unison "thank you guys so much" Then they both turned each and gave each other a small hug before giving each other a present. Poseidon though "Oh they are going to so surprised''. Annabeth and Percy opened their present and both had bracelets inside. At first, they were both shocked because they got each other the exact same thing, except for the design. On Annabeth there was an own in the night sky flying and eyes were diamond. On percy's, they was a sunset with two dolphins on it and one of them had both of its eyes were sea-green emeralds. After a minute or two of shock they gave each other a huge hug and all the gods that were present smiled. Feeling that they were being watched, they separated and were blushing deeply. Then they put it on and they both said the exact same thing "touch the eyes" and the gods let out a gasp, except for each other and Poseidon. Both of them turned into celestial bronze shields with the exact same desighs on them but when they turned the shields over they save their reflection as well as the picture. Then they both gave a huge hug.

The rest of the day was trying out their new items and both were having a lot of fun and the gods were extremely happy.

Man that was a long chapter. Can you believe they got the exact same gift for each other. I guess great minds thinks alike. Tell me if I was right or not by reviewing. Thanks.

P.S. the next chapter might not be out for a while because this one was so long and my computers is gonna get fixed. I update as soon as I get it back.
