Hey guys! Merry Christmas! All my loyal followers/favoriters, this is my gift to you! Enjoy! :)

Annabeth POV

I open my eyes. It's Christmas! I look over at Percy.

Percy and I decided to stay with the Kane's mansion.

"Percy," I whisper. He murders something. "Percy! It's Christmas!" He shoots up like a cannonball. He looks at me.

"Christmas?"

"Yes, Seaweed Brain." He kisses me.

"Merry Christmas, Wisegirl." I blush. He gets up and grabs a present. "Here, open it." It's small and the paper's pretty.

I carefully open it. Inside it a small jewelry case. I pop it open. I gasp. It's beautiful. It's gorgeous. It's a. . . A. Inside is a. . .

Ring.

It has a diamond in the middle. Around it is beautiful colors of pearl. To hold it together is a brilliant blue mineral band.

I look at Percy. He's kneeling beside me.

"Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?" Is this a dream? I pinch myself. It's real.

I hug him.

"Yes! Yes, I'll marry you."

I remember my gift. It pales in comparison.

I break away from him to get his present.

I give it to him.

"It's kinda stupid compared to yours." It's a bead that I made for his leather necklace.

It has an gray Owl and blue Trident on it with blue behind the owl, and gray behind the trident.

He smiles.

"I love it." He strings it on with the others.

"Merry Christmas, Seaweed Brain."

"Merry Christmas."

Sadie POV

"Sadie, wake up. It's Christmas." I hear Walt knock on my door.

Ugh. Christmas brings back bad memories. Especially those of my father falling through a floor in a coffin.

But, I have good memories too. And I can make more.

Sadie, don't forget my birthday is coming up soon. I ignore Isis.

"Come in."

Walt walks in with a present.

"Merry Christmas." He hands it to me.

Naturally, I opened it. Inside a box, there's a Egyptian symbol on a chain. The symbol, Ankh, is like a cross with a loop at the top. It stands for life. It was also the symbol my mum wore.

I hug him.

"Thank you Walt." I grab his present. He opens it.

It's a wood carving set. Since he likes to make charms, so I though it was the perfect gift.

He smiles widely. It seems like it was.

"Thanks, Sadie." I blush a little bit.

"Merry Christmas, Walt."

Carter POV

I grab my present for Zia.

I walk out of my room, heading towards Zia's.

Someone bumps into me halfway there.

I look at the person. Zia.

"Hey, I was looking for you." I say.

"Same." She replies.

I lead her to the living room. I hand her the present.

She rips it open. Inside lies a ball that almost looks like polished fire connected to a chain. I saw it, and I ha to get it for her.

"Oh, Carter. It's beautiful! Thank you so much."

"Your welcome." She hands me a gift.

Inside is new khopesh. It looks just like my other one, except a bit sharper and slightly bigger.

"Thanks, Zia. I needed a new one, too." She smiles.

"When do you think the others will come out?" She asks.

"I don't know, anytime now." Speaking of. . .

There's footsteps pounding in the hallways.

Here we go.

"Merry Christmas, Zia."

"Same to you, Carter."

Percy POV

Everyone has opened their presents.

The little kids are all playing with their new toys and weapons. The older kids testing new magical gadgets and stuff. Couples sitting under mistletoe.

I smile.

I always love seeing others enjoy Christmas. I wouldn't care if I didn't get anything, I would be satisfied by watching the surprise on kids faces.

I feel a weight on my lap.

Annabeth has sat on my lap. In her hands she holds keys. One in each hand.

She gives one to me.

"What's this?" I ask.

"I don't know. I saw them when I went back to our room. They were assessed to us."

I look at mine. There's a note on it.

Dear Percy,

Hope you enjoy this place. It's smaller than mine, but still nice. Just follow the directions below. Have fun.

-Dad

I look at the directions, and almost all are underwater. The finally one says, "and there you are! Your castle!" Annabeth reads hers.

"Annabeth, I think I just got an underwater castle." She smiles.

"And I think I just got my own private library." Score for us!

"Merry Christmas to us!" She smiles again.

"Agreed."

We sit like this until someone waves mistletoe above us. Naturally, we kiss.

Merry Christmas, guys! Hope you liked it! Comment what your favorite present that you got was. Until next time!
