A/N: Multiple guest reviews asked what Song the Line at the end of Chapter 9 was from, so uh, the song was Feel Again by One Republic.

Jason

Most guys would love to get woken up by their girlfriend in the morning.

Me? Well, I think I'm starting to miss Coach Hedge's 6AM wakeup calls with his megaphone just in the slightest.

I was lying face down on my bed when I heard the cabin door open.

"Jason"

I groaned in response, refusing to move.

"Jason, get up" It was Piper, I realized, my brain starting to comprehend better, now that it was more awake.

I pulled my blanket over my head to muff out the noise.

I managed to voice my refusal to get up, "I'm sleeping."

"I don't care, it's almost breakfast time, get up!" Piper ordered, more agitated this time.

When I didn't reply, I felt her reach under the blanket, and before I could react she grabbed my arm and twisted it around, pushing it around and dragging me out of bed, causing some major pain to shoot up my arm and shoulder.

"OW OW OW" I cried, landing on the cold floor of my cabin.

Piper let go of my arm and looked down at me with a sweet and innocent smile, "Oh good, you're up."

I groaned in pain and rolled to my side. "Yea, obviously by choice."

She just grinned and kneeled down, giving me a quick kiss. "I'm sure it'll be worth it"

I sighed and pulled myself to my feet. "It better be" I grumbled, grabbing some clothes to wear for the day.

As we left the Zeus (Or Jupiter) Cabin, Piper and I headed to the pavilion for Breakfast. I noticed most of our friends at their tables, but frowned at the sight of the empty Poseidon table.

"Great, Percy's not here." I said, concerned about Percy's absence both because he was missing and because I had no one to talk to without him at his table.

Piper coughed, trying to hide a laugh, and took a long pointed look back at the Poseidon Cabin, and then at the Athena table. "I think he's in safe hands" she said. I looked at the Athena table after her and saw Annabeth missing. Despite my annoyance at the fact I'd have no one to talk to, I smirked.

"I still don't have anyone to talk to Piper, he should feel bad about it" I joked, but Piper just shrugged and headed to her table, "I think how you'll feel when he's missing is the last thing on Percy's mind right now."

I sat at my table and asked for waffles, digging in. I heard someone clearing their throat, not really thinking into it, until I realized it was coming from right beside me. I glanced up and saw Leo standing at my side, grinning.

"Mind if I sit here?" He asked, pointing at the Zeus table and sitting down anyways. I looked at him, "I know you're bad with rules Leo, but this table thing is pretty easy to understand."

He shrugged, playing with some scraps of metal on the table. "Calm down Jason, Chrion isn't even here right now, besides, we're like huge heroes and stuff now. We can get away with some table switching every once in a while." Leo grinned at me, and I shook my head, "Still, rules are rules. We're not above them."

Leo snorted, almost choking on his chocolate milk. Where the carton he was drinking from was ten seconds ago when I looked at him, I have no idea.

"Tell that to Percy and Annabeth, because apparently Chiron was just going a bit loco for a minute and let them sleep together." He said the last part slowly, wiggling his eyebrows. I shoved him, "Come on Leo, I'm pretty sure they don't think like you."

A few campers were looking over at us by now, but none really seemed agitated. I wondered briefly if anyone had ever broken this rule before, or if Leo was the first offender.

Leo noticed my face while I was thinking and seemed to read my mind, "Don't worry, I'm not the first one to do this. Annabeth sat at Percy's table once a few years ago, apparently. They also were alone in the Athena cabin later that day and were found hugging."

I stared at him, curious as to how he knew that, as far as I knew he wasn't here a few years ago.

"How'd you find that out?" I asked, giving him a sideways glance.

Leo shrugged, "It's amazing what you can learn listening to the Aphrodite campers while setting up a prank in their cabin."

"What pra-" I stopped, "Wait, You're the one who set off the stinkbombs in there?" I asked, glaring at him.

"What's it to you Jason?" he asked, chuckling.

"Piper smelled like bad gas and stale pizza for a week and a half!" Of course this was no deterrent to Leo, who just burst out laughing in reply.

I got the feeling this was going to be a long day.

-LINEBREAK-

We managed to meet up with some of the others between activities, and went out to sit by the lake and talk.

I had an arm around Piper casually as we chatted in our circle; Piper, Hazel, Frank, Travis, Connor and I.

Piper nudged my shoulder and pointed out Leo making his way towards us, Eric in tow. I grinned and waved at them in greeting as they sat down, and went back to the conversation.

"Hey Travis, what are you doing here anyways?" Piper asked, smirking mischievously. I caught on to her plan and grinned, "Yea man, what's up?" I added in.

Travis looked at us in confusion, "What do you mean, where else would I be?"

Connor had picked up on the game as well and chuckled, "I don't know about where you would be, but we all know where you should and want to be"

"What are you guys talking about?"

Leo chimed in, "Maybe we should ask Katie, she's obviously the brains of the relationship."

Travis, not usually one to be the butt of a joke, looked utterly lost.

"What?"

Hazel reached over and smacked him upside the head, "You should be with Katie right now you doofus!" she shouted at him.

"Oh" Travis replied, rubbing his head, his face as red as a tomato. "She's busy right now with her cabin" he said.

"And?" I asked, continuing the fun. He just gave me an are you serious? Look, "And, her Cabin hates my guts, so we're meeting up later"

Piper 'oooh'ed, "Travis has a date, Travis has a date!" she sang, causing Travis to go even more red than before. The whole group broke into laughter, Travis took his chance to get up silently and leave, trying to avoid more teasing.

We all stopped and watched him go, before looking at each other and bursting into another fit of laughter.

"Did you see his face?" Connor asked, huffing and trying to regain his composure.

Leo managed to contain his laughter long enough to reply, "His face looked like a big red balloon!"

Eric was the first to calm down. "So uh, is this how camp always is?" he asked, looking at each of us.

We all glanced at Connor, willing him to answer since he'd been at Camp longer than the rest of us.

"Pretty much, except for during the wars, it was a lot less fun during those." He added.

We all nodded, and I wondered something, thinking back at how Camp Jupiter had been during the Titan War. "How was camp, during the Titan War and stuff?" I asked.

Percy and Annabeth had said some things, but Percy hadn't really been in the camp for most of it, he was always on missions or taking time to get away from it all. Annabeth didn't really want talk about it, and she'd been out on a lot of missions as well.

Connor shrugged, "Really quiet, especially because of all the deaths and betrayals, our happiest moments were when people returned from missions and no one had died." He said.

"That bad?" Frank asked, breaking his silence in the conversation.

Connor just nodded, "The Titan War brought with it the only day in Camp History that the campfire burned Black." He said, we all looked at him curiously, silently asking what had caused it. "It was when we burned Beckendorf's shroud" he said, glancing at Leo, who looked down.

I knew Leo didn't like hearing about Beckendorf's death, despite the fact that he'd never met him, he'd heard all the stories about the guy, and Beckendorf was a hero to the Hephaestus Cabin. Leo had become very caring for his Cabin, despite being a very non-serious person.

"The Titan war was pretty crazy though. I'm pretty sure there's a thousand stories from the campers who were there about their victories in battle. Plus you can find out about Percy's triumphs from just about anyone in camp, though Percy himself, or Annabeth, can give the most accurate versions of them, since they were always together."

I noticed Piper smile involuntarily at the last part and nudged her, flashing her a knowing look. She just glared at me, daring me to say something about it.

"What exactly did he do?" I heard Eric ask. We'd all forgotten that Eric had only gotten here yesterday. He had no idea about anything Percy had done, despite being his friend.

"Well for one thing, when Kronos sent an army through Central Park, he took the Athena Cabin, Nature Spirits of the Park and the Hunters to face it. While the others fought, he battled the Titan Hyperion"

I widened my eyes, I'd heard he had faced Kronos and the story of Luke and all that in some detail, but I hadn't heard he'd faced a second Titan, much less the second best Titan Warrior, next to Atlas.

"He fought Hyperion?" I asked, looking at Connor. I could make out the others out of the corner of my eyes and saw they had similar expressions. At least I wasn't the only one who hadn't heard.

Connor shrugged, "Yep, he ran over top the water and hit him with a wave to extinguish his flames, and then made a small hurricane to keep the flames out, and sent him over to the nature spirits, who trapped Hyperion in a tree"

Eric's mouth hung open, "He beat a Titan?" he asked, awestruck.

Connor nodded, "More than one, really, he also fought Kronos multiple times, and eventually they beat him, but that's a complicated story, you'll hear it later for sure." He scratched his chin, as if thinking. "He also fought Atlas once, but didn't fare so well against him. He ended up just taking the weight of the sky for Artemis so she could fight Atlas and force him back into holding the sky"

Now I was just starting to feel a little bit inferior, despite the fact that I was Jupiter's kid, could fly, and could use lightning and all that. I realized that Percy was way out of my weight division. I was miffed about it, but I couldn't really feel angry or jealous of Percy, he was too nice a guy.

Hazel recovered from her shock, "Any other Titans he's fought?" she asked, almost in a snappy tone.

Connor shrugged, "I heard a rumor he, Thalia and Nico faced Iapetus, but Percy has never said anything about it himself, and the other two are never around"

He decided to add in, "He's faced multiple Gods as well"

He looked at all of our faces, and chuckled, "Yea, you guys thought you knew Percy so well, huh?" he asked jokingly. "The problem with hearing about Percy from Percy or Annabeth is that Percy is way too modest and neither of them are particularly fond of reliving most of those memories. Next time you want to know about Percy's work, come to me and I'll see what I know"

With that, Connor jumped to his feet and strolled away, winking at us as he went.

Leaving the rest of us in shock, more or less.

Annabeth

I woke up feeling a calm peacefulness that I hadn't felt since the day after the Titan War, when Percy and I started dating. It was just the feeling that no matter what I'd been through, maybe, just maybe, there was hope for some quiet relaxation now, with no big enemies to worry about.

I remembered a conversation between Percy and I at the end of that summer, talking about how maybe the new prophesy wouldn't come true for decades and we'd be able to grow up in peace. We'd been very, very disturbingly wrong about when it came true, but now, with that prophesy behind us now, I hoped that the fates would have a little bit of mercy for us.

We'd only saved the world twice and all, was eighty or ninety years of relative safety too much to ask?

I realized something else, I hadn't had any nightmares last night. On the contrary, I'd had good, regular, non-demigod dreams. Mostly about the boy whos chest I was using as a pillow right now.

I shifted my head to look up at his face and smiled. Percy looked so much better when he was sleeping, all the worry left his fact, and he started to look more like he did before all the pain and death we'd seen and faced. When it was just us, here, together. He seemed to become more the happy, laughing carefree Percy and less the Percy who'd been forced into being a leader for the camp in wars.

I also noted that, despite how much older he was than the twelve year old boy I'd nursed back to health, he still drooled in his sleep. I closed my eyes and smiled, knowing that I wouldn't want Percy to be any different than he was, no matter what his flaws and faults were.

I listened to his heartbeat, comforted by the gentle rise and fall of his chest, for a long time, not wanting to move, nor seeing any reason to. If being around Percy taught me anything about myself, it was that I didn't really care about breaking rules. If we missed breakfast, I'd be okay.

Finally, I felt his arms tightening their grip around me slightly, "Morning" his tired voice spoke.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw him looking down at me, smiling. "Morning" I replied, returning the smile.

I glanced around the cabin and noticed the iPod sitting on Percy's nightstand. I raised an eyebrow looking at it, and Percy followed my gaze, picking up on my confusion, "I woke up an hour or two ago and noticed you still had it playing, so I put It away" he said.

I nodded, "You know, that was probably the nicest way anyone has ever put me to sleep." I pulled myself up to his face and kissed him, feeling his grin. He rubbed my back reflexively as I pulled away from the kiss and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Well, it certainly beats a blow to the head, that's not a very fun way to be put to sleep" he said, and I slapped his cheek weakly, "I don't need your sarcasm when I've just woken up, Seaweed Brain."

He laughed softly, rolling over so we were side by side and pressing against my back as he nuzzled against my neck, pressing his lips softly against my shoulder. I felt myself shiver, but smiled.

All my worries were forgotten here, lying with Percy's arms around me protectively. After all these years, I'd connected him to a sense of safety, no matter where we were.

Now that we weren't in danger… that feeling was much more prominent.

"Percy?" I said quietly.

"Yea?" Percy replied, leaning in closer, keeping me warm and safe like only he could.

I turned my head to face him, "Do you think we'll actually live long enough to have a life away from fighting?" I asked, looking into his eyes. After everything we'd been through, as much as I wanted to believe we'd have a happy ending, it just didn't seem to be where our luck was taking us. I wanted reassurance.

For all the doubts he'd expressed to me in our moments of distress after fighting Gaea, Percy's expression seemed confident and determined as he answered.

"I see it as the most certain thing in my future" he said, and I couldn't detect any hint of a lie or doubt in his voice.

"How can you be so sure?" I asked. Percy kissed my cheek and smiled warmly, "Because we're Percy and Annabeth. We'll destroy anything that dares try to take away our vacation time."

I laughed at his way of putting it into words, as he always had to make serious things a joke to try and make things more relaxed.

Shifting myself to face Percy completely, I smiled at him and wrapped my arms around his neck. "One day Seaweed Brain, we're going to have that future that kept us alive in Tartarus" I said, managing to say the name of that horrid place without even flinching. I was too relaxed and upbeat right now for that to faze me. Percy just grinned, "I pity the poor soul who has to babysit for us" he says teasingly.

I smirked, "Oh yea, all of your insanity and all of my wit put together," before adding, "Besides, smart kids with water control, deadly combination during bathtime" Percy laughed, leaning in closer to my face, "That's my favourite combination, I can't see anything better than you and I together"

He leaned in the rest of the way, resting his forehead against mine and kissing me. We stayed like that for a while, I let all the girly joy over his statement flow into the kiss, because I didn't see any better ways to express my feelings about it through words.

Reluctantly, I pulled back, glancing at the window of the cabin. "As much as I'm enjoying this time" I began, before Percy cut me off, "Yea yea I know, sunlight, wakey time and all that" he said in an annoyed tone. Though I could see in his eyes that he didn't really care. He probably didn't care if we were in our cabin or outside doing things, as long as we were doing them together. I smiled at the thought and rolled over Percy to get to the edge of the bed. I got up and got ready, while Percy did the same, a little bit more lazily.

Still, we both managed to be ready to go at about the same time, and left the cabin. It was definitely past breakfast. So we just went to look for our friends instead, we could eat at lunch, no matter how much Percy would complain about being a growing boy.
