Annabeth POV

I nervously glanced at Percy. His breathing was calm, and his chest rode up and down in a rhythmic pattern.

He looked so peaceful, but I knew it was the calm before the storm. He would wake up, be all flustered like the rest of the warriors, and he still wouldn't remember me. We had been through so much, and I never forgot him in the last 100 years.

I let memories take me over, bringing me back to happier times.

FLASHBACK

"Percy Jackson! Get your butt out of there!" I called, impatiently tapping my foot on the dock. I looked over the edge, the soft waves rolling gently. There was no response, but I knew he could hear me.

"Percy! Come on! You have to come out eventually!" I called, irritably sitting down on the dock. I kicked my flip flops off, and let my toes dangle in the cool waters.

"Percy, I know you are nervous about the battle tomorrow, but don't worry. Things will all work out in the end!" I said. Percy was so stressed, recently. He had just regained his memory, came back from Tartarus, and now had to face Gaia. His head appeared at the top of the water, his green eyes gazing into my grey ones. He smiled weakly.

"I know, Wise Girl," he said. He pulled himself out of the water, his muscles showing. His six pack was gleaming with drops of water, and his arms were lean- like a swimmers.

"So why are you so stressed, Seaweed Brain?" I asked, and I leaned on his shoulder. He was supporting himself with his hands, and looking off into the Greek waters.

"I'm not stressed. Just thinking about how beautiful you are," he said, leaning his head on mine. I smiled.

"I love you, Seaweed Brain," I whispered.

"What was that?" he asked. I got off his shoulder, and pulled my feet from the water. I sat on my knees, and repeated myself.

"I love you," I said.

"I think there is some water in my ears, can you say that louder?" he asked, putting a hand to his ear. I rolled my stormy eyes.

"It's not water it's seaweed," I said.

"I love you, Wise Girl," he said, a hand caressing my cheek. He pulled me in for a gentle kiss, and I kissed back. Tomorrow we would fight Gaia, and I was sure everything would be fine. We were a team.

FLASHBACK END

Yeah, there was a reason I loved sitting on the dock at camp. It reminded me of the last peaceful moment I had with Perce. Then the fight started, and he disappeared.

Dusk cleared her throat, and I realized that I had zoned out. I regained my composure, and looked at the warrior. Her grey eyes matched mine, with a few blue specks. I was sure she was a daughter of Athena. She carried herself with the same grace as my mother-our mother.

"Sorry, what?" I asked. I could see Midnight reach for her hand, and she grabbed it, holding it tight.

"We are going to go back to our camp. Ya know...to regroup... Would you mind sending Night over when he wakes up? And keeping the demigods away," she asked. Sunrise and Sunset stood next to each other, and DB held Dawn's hand. Dawn kept nervously glancing over to Night.

"Annabeth..." she asked nervously.

"Yeah, Dawn?" I asked.

"Could you tell me when Night wakes up? Flash over, or whatever it is you do?" she asked.

"Sure thing," I said.

She smiled, and then chased her family out the door. After they left, I turned to Nico.

"When do you think he is going to wake up?" he asked.

"I would think soon," I said. I hated not knowing- almost as much as I hated other people knowing I didn't know.

"Where am I?" a hoarse voice asked. I looked down at Percy, who was opening his eyes. He rubbed his scarred arm, and looked around.

"Annabeth? Nico? I was in excruciating pain...I can't describe...my arm- they carved words," he said, squeezing his eyes tight. I went over to his side, and he looked at me.

His eyes. His beautiful sea green eyes- full of kindness, loyalty... everything that made Percy Percy.

"How do you feel?" I asked, pulling a chair up next to his bed.

"Like I've been through hell and back," he said.

"You would know," Nico said, with a smile.

"What?"

"Nothing," I said.

"The voice said I would remember my name and my parent..." Percy said. He looked around the room.

"Where is everyone!?" he asked. I mentally slapped myself- Dawn's request! I looked over at Nico, who understood. In a second, he was gone.

"So...can I have something to drink?" Percy asked, awkwardly. Classic Seaweed Brain- making everything sound weird.

"Oh, yeah, here," I handed him some Nectar. He cautiously took a sip, and smiled.

"It tastes like cookies," he said, giddily.

'Probably the blue chocolate chip cookies that Sally made,' I thought.

"Night!" Dawn rushed forward, jumping on his bed.

Nico walked back over, Twilight at his side. Her red hair was draped over her shoulder, and her blue eyes sizzled. They reminded me of Thalia's eyes, it was startling. Twilight sat at the end of Percy's bed, while Dawn finally let go of Percy.

"I'm okay," he said, and Dawn smiled.

"Sunrise and Sunset kissed," she said, making a gross face.

"Damn, I owe Dusk money now," he said, laughing.

"It was icky," she stated.

"C'mon, Night, we are all going to hang out at the camp," Twi said. Percy nodded, and I felt a twinge of sadness.

Sure, why wouldn't he want to be with Twi, Dawn, and all the others? I wanted to spend this time with him, but he didn't know me. Well, sure, he knew the goddess me. But not his Wise Girl.

"We'll see you guys tomorrow," Percy said, before leaving the room in step with Twi and Dawn.

"So, Dawn, tell me more about Sunrise and Sunset," I heard Percy ask. He used to ask questions to mask his nerves 100 years ago, too. I could see through his mask; he was in pain from the memory, and was nervous about his past.

Who wouldn't be, though?

A/N:

I'm writing a little slower, recently, guys. Sorry about that. I'm working towards something, though. Stay with me, don't give up!

Anyway…

Lucenthia: thanks for the feedback; I'll try to work on that

smegol26: That will be revealed soon, no need to fret. Yes, I didn't give it right away as a part of the suspense factor. Thanks for reviewing!
