Today, if I'm not mistaken, is the day that I started writing this story… only two months ago. But who's counting? Anyway, here is the last chapter.

The Last Gift

The snow started to lightly fall when they got into the taxi.

"Where to?" the taxi driver asked. Percy gave him the address.

"Do you think we should get bob out of the cage?" Percy asked.

"I don't know, we should wait until we get him to your house." Annabeth said.

"Do you think he remembers us?" Percy asked another question.

"Maybe, maybe not. I hope so; otherwise he will be scared when we open the cage."

"Huh. I hope my mom gets home early; she promised me I can eat half of my bag of candy tonight."

"Can I have some?" Annabeth asked, she always loved the candy Sally brought.

"Of course." Percy said. "How can I say no to your puppy-dog face? I know you will make it if I don't give you any candy." Annabeth gently smiled at his comment.

"You know me so well." She said, dropping her head onto his shoulders.

"So, you never told me what my present is. I'm starting to think you're just bluffing."

"Trust me, I'm not. You're just going to have to wait."

"But it's getting late. Can't you just tell me now?"

"Ok…but it's at my house. Too bad, you will just have to wait until we get there." Percy said smirking as Annabeth gave him the evil eye.

"Is that ok?" Percy asked.

"Fine, but it better be good."

"It is, do you know what color it is?"

"What?"

"It's one of your favorite colors."

"Green, purple, grey…"

"It has some gray." Percy said. "We are almost here."

"I can't wait!" Annabeth said, smiling excitedly.

"Open the door!" Annabeth said, almost bursting with happiness.

"It's open, now don't scare bob."

"Ok. I'll try not to." Annabeth said walking to the kitchen to get a small bowl for the kitten.

"I got him some water."

"Thanks, here goes nothing." Percy said nervously opening the cage. The cat hesitantly walked out into the room. It first walked around the room slowly. Then it looked at Percy and Annabeth, and started walking towards them. It purred when he rubbed his neck onto Percy's and Annabeth's leg.

"Aw… it loves us." Percy said.

"I think it remembers us." Annabeth said.

"Maybe your right, but I like my idea better." Percy said smiling. "So, do you want some hot coco?"

"Sure, then I can have my present."

"Deal." Annabeth said, sitting on the sofa with Bob sitting on her lap.

"Here is your hot coco. And here is your present, I hope you love it."

"Percy, if you gave it to me, I will love it. Let me finish my coco and then I'll open it."

"Sure, take your time now. But in the taxi, you couldn't wait to open it."

"I just want to have some more time to guess what it is."

"You had over a week, now I'm excited to see you open it."

"Ok I'm done, I'll open it." Annabeth said tearing off the wrapping. She gasped when she say the rectangle size box. It wasn't an engagement ring kind of box, but a jewelry box. She couldn't believe that he would go to should lengths to get her something this expensive.

"Just open it." Percy said, squeezing her hand. She gasped again when she say the beautiful necklace. It was a blue heart that had the words, "You will always have my heart." And inside of the heart, there was a grey owl with green eyes. It was one of the most beautiful things she has ever seen. Her eyes started swelling with tears.

"It's beautiful. I love it, I will always wear it." She said hugging him in a tight embrace. Slowly, they drifted off to sleep.

11 pm

Sally opens the door to her apartment, to find Percy and Annabeth sleeping on the sofa. She gently lays a blanket on them.

"Sweet dreams." She softly says to them.

The End
