One Year Later
It was that time of year again. As Percy walked down to the docks, he could smell the Spring air. Cars kept driving, kids kept graduating, nothing seemed to stop. Though their world halted for a moment, no one else's did.
"They painted the pier..." Percy got to where he had gotten the call, where he had first heard the news. "Wonder why..."
"Percy!" Annabeth waved him over from the shadows of the pier. "Come on! We're waiting!"
Percy smiled at his girlfriend, jogging over to meet her. "Hey."
"It's about time." Jason took a swing of beer. "We've been waiting."
"Sorry, sorry." Percy sat next to Annabeth and Will, who already seemed to be drunk. "So, what are we meeting about?"
"Just hanging out." Annabeth laid her head on his shoulder. "Where were you?"
"Visiting his grave." Percy accepted a can of beer from Jason. "Didn't mean to take too long."
"We were just talking about how we first met Nico," Annabeth explained. "Some of our stories were kind of funny."
Will chuckled into his drink. "Remember mine?"
Everyone laughed through their drunken haze. Of course, they did. A one night stand, a drunken mistake. Who knew where it would eventually lead? Maybe if he had never done that that night...
But no matter what happened, in the end, they'd all become stories.
AN: Hope you all like it. It's always a pleasure to write for you and I hope to see you all on another story
