Chapter 10

Percy watched as a large war ship docked above New Rome.

His heart beat faster, pounding against his chest. He couldn't believe that he was only minutes away from seeing Annabeth.

He put his arms around Hazel and Frank and walked towards the group of kids heading towards them.

A boy, who Percy guessed was Jason, stood in the front of the group, a sword in hand.

Two other people stood behind them. Percy guessed that they were Jason's friends that Juno had been talking about.

Then he saw Annabeth. He was exactly how he remembered. Orange Camp Half-Blood shirt, blonde curly hair, and gray eyes. She had her dagger sheathed on her hip, and she looked very in control.

"Jason." Reyna said smiling.

Percy wouldn't have been surprised if she had flung her arms around him and kissed him, but she didn't.

Jason nodded in acknowledgement and introduced the others to Camp Jupiter, but Percy couldn't hear him. He was too busy looking at Annabeth.

Jason finished introducing everyone and Percy walked up to Annabeth, "Hey, Wise Girl."

Annabeth stared at him a moment.

Percy gave her a long kiss on the lips, causing the others to gasp.

Annabeth pulled away, she looked mad.

She wiped her lips with the back of her hand, "C'mon this ship isn't going to fly itself."

She turned on her heel and stormed back to the ship.

Percy gave himself a face-palm. Why did he kiss her in front of everyone? He probably just embarrassed her, big time.

He looked at the others who shrugged and followed Annabeth.

Reyna waved to Jason and glared at Percy. He was pretty sure that praetors weren't supposed to show public affection.

Percy sighed and walked after the others. Wondering if he had just messed up everything.

Hazel started talking about how she'd heard of a formal triumph for the three of them, pulling Percy out of his daydream.

He had to stop thinking so negatively.

Percy then took the opportunity to tell his friends about his dream with Juno. He didn't tell them about his dream about Annabeth though.

He wondered if his reunion with Annabeth would be as bad as his self-conscious thought.

He hoped not. Because if it was, Percy would go insane.

Leo was going insane! He still needed to send the holographic scroll, but he had no idea what to say. Then he had to put up with being a third wheel with Jason and Piper because Annabeth was no fun.

For the first hour since they had left the Great Salt Lake, Annabeth would just walk pace back and forth on the deck, nervously. It was getting on Leo's nerves.

"Time?" Annabeth asked for like the thousandth time.

"Same as it was five seconds ago Annabeth. 10:50 eastern and 7: 50 in California." Jason told her.

"I'm going to put my Greek armor on." Annabeth told them before disappearing below decks.

"Jason, can you take over? I need to put on my Greek armor too and I have to make the holographic scroll." Leo asked.

"Sure." Jason took the wheel, while Leo headed below decks.

Piper walked over to Jason.

"I guess it's just the two of us now." Jason smiled.

"Nope. It's just you." Jason frowned and Piper laughed, "I have to make sure that Leo doesn't mess up the holographic scroll."

She gave him a kiss on the cheek and headed below decks.

"Wait 'till they see what I have to wear." Jason said groaning inwardly.

Leo sat in his cabin, about to record the message. Oil lamps swung on the ceiling behind him.

Piper stood in the doorway, watching him.

Leo took a deep breath and pressed record. He grinned at the scroll and began the message.

"Hey! Greetings from your friends at Camp Half-Blood et cetera. This is Leo. I'm the…" He looked at Piper and yelled, "What's my title? Am I like the admiral, or captain, or-"

"Repair boy." Piper yelled back with a smirk.

"Very funny, Piper, "Leo grumbled. He turned back to the screen, "So yeah, I'm…ah… supreme commander on the Argo 11. Yeah, I like that! Anyway, we're gonna be sailing towards you in about, I dunno, an hour in this big mother warship. We'd appreciate it if you'd not, like, blow us out of the sky or anything. So okay! If you could tell the Romans that. See you soon. Yours in demigodishness, and all that. Peace out." Leo stopped the message.

"Demigodishness?" Piper asked.

"Shut up." Leo retorted grabbing the scroll.

Piper laughed and went to the upper deck, Leo following her.

Jason had summoned an aura to take the message to Camp Jupiter.

"Who do we send it to?" Jason asked.

"Percy." Annabeth said immediately.

Jason nodded and told the aura to bring the scroll to Percy in Camp Jupiter.

The aura nodded and disappeared into the air.

Jason groaned, "Now it's my turn to get changed.

"Oh, this is going to be good" Leo smiled.

Jason headed below decks and got changed into his toga. He put it on over his clothes.

He was prepared for a lot of jokes from Leo.

His toga was the main aspect that Leo was going to joke about. He wore a purple cloak over it as a sign of his old rank as praetor.

"Let's get this over with…" He said leaving his cabin.

Leo was doubled over in laughter. He couldn't believe that Romans had to wear togas!

He stood up strait again, "And model 479, Jason Grace is sporting a bed sheet and a purple cloak. Work it Jason!" He said laughing.

Jason glared at him. Piper gave a small laugh and walked over to Jason.

"Well, I think it's cute." She gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"You think that's cute?" Leo asked. "No, no, no! Puppies are cute. Metal dragons are cute. Babies are cute. This," Leo gestured to Jason's outfit, "is hilarious!"

Annabeth smiled.

Jason looked down at his outfit and smiled, it was pretty funny.

He looked out into the horizon, he could see Camp Jupiter.

"Here we go." Jason said as he walked over to the bow on the raised crossbow platform.

Everyone got into position, like they were staring in a Broadway play.

Annabeth could only hear the blood pounding in her ears.

Percy…
