Madison's POV

"What just happened?" Reyna asked. Percy looked at me and I quickly searched my brain for an answer.

I sighed. "When I was 9 and living on Olympus, Athena and I explored a library that Athena uncovered the day before. It was a library created by Gaea. We read everything in there, all the books, manuscripts, scrolls, everything. I can across a scroll with an ancient ritual on it. It contained a spell for the freedom of Gaea. I didn't believe she would go to all that trouble, but she did. Once the ritual is complete, Gaea would switch positions with whoever is the ideal match. It will only work with someone equal in power to her. Since I am beyond the gods, I fit that position. If Percy didn't interfere, then I would have been in everlasting slumber and Gaea would be at full power awake."

They seemed to be satisfied with that answer. I let out a small sigh of relief and I heard Percy do it too.

"Well it's getting dark, so I believe we should set sail before the Apollo leaves this side of earth with the sun." Leo stated breaking the silence. We all agreed.

"We'll meet you at the ship, Percy and I have to… uh… go somewhere real quick."

They looked at us quizzically and Percy had the same look, but realization came to him.

"Oh, uh… right." Little late Percy.

They headed back to the ship and when they vanished from sight, we made our way over to Mt. Olympus.

Jason flew everyone up and I grabbed Percy's hand. Energy flowed through us.

"Let's try teleporting as a god."

"Uh- How?"

"Close your eyes and picture ourselves in the room we found."

Percy nodded and we closed our eyes. I felt a sudden burst of energy, but then it resided. I opened my eyes and we were in the room. I smiled. It worked. This was starting to get cool.

I walked over to the other empty wall and placed my hand on it. Percy did the same. The wall began to glow and then more images were on the wall. It showed our wedding. I didn't recognize the man I was walking down the aisle with, but he seemed oddly familiar. I noticed Percy at the end with the preacher, or should I say, Poseidon. Makes sense.

"So what? We got our senior year and them we get married?" Percy questioned.

"I guess so…" I smiled a little and Percy put his arm around me and spun me into him. I put my arms around his neck and our foreheads touched.

"Mrs. Jackson…"

"Now, now, you haven't even proposed yet…" He just laughed.

"We'll see…" He placed his lips on mine and I gave in. I felt like I was walking on air. I melted into his arms as he had me against the wall. We pulled apart for air. He picked me up in his arms and carried me out of the room. "Percy…" I whined. "I can walk."

"I know, I'm just practicing for when I carry you off for our honeymoon." I rolled my eyes and just laughed.

"You seem eager."

"Eager to make you mine…"

"Now you're just being cheesy."

"You love it when I'm cheesy."

I laughed again not realizing we had an audience.

"Finally we can take off." I rolled my eyes at Leo's eagerness. Percy set me down and we walked hand in hand to the ship.

We boarded the boat and Leo went to the wheel, Jason manned the wind currents, and everyone else did whatever they did before.

We took off in a matter of minutes and sailed our way back to America.

"Which camp?" Leo yelled-asked.

"Olympus, actually. The gods wish to see us." He nodded and began to steer. We were heading to New York.

Reyna and Bobby came up to me and Percy.

"What about us? After we see the gods, how will we get back to our camp?"

"Actually, I have been meaning to talk to the gods about a way to connect the camps. I was thinking of a portal between rooms in our big houses. That way we can go back and forth between the camps without having to go cross country and Jason can be with Piper easier with wherever he decides to stay and I can still be with Percy when I go to your camp instead of leaving for a week without him."

"That sounds interesting, but what if the camps don't get along?" Reyna asked.

"Oh, they'll get along… I'll be sure of it." Reyna had a curious look in her eyes, but she didn't pressure for any further questions.

Finally, it was just smooth sailing from here. Percy and I still had our secret intact and everyone didn't ask any more questions. Night came quickly and we all made our way below deck for some sleep. There is a separate room for everyone, but multiple beds in each. Piper ran in a room with Jason and everyone else went into their own. Percy and I shared a room obviously. We have been doing it for years, only occasionally was Tyson there.

I went through my belongings I brought and pulled out short sea green silk shorts and a white tank top. I walked back into the room from the bathroom to find Percy lying on his bed twirling riptide in only boxers. His abs were clearly visible and I could definitely tell that SPQR was good to him. He was more ripped than before.

Percy looked over at me and I could see him tense up. Good, it worked.

I walked over and laid down next to him. He recapped riptide and wrapped his arm around me. I rolled over on top of him and put my head to his chest. Then, I started tracing the outline of his abs. He tensed up. I just smiled. It was the reaction I was going for.

"Gods Madison! Why are you trying to tempt me?"

"I don't know what you mean…" I tried to act all sweet and innocent, but he could see right through me. I moved my finger up and down as I laid on top of him. He kept tensing up and then he groaned. I smirked. Then, the next thing I knew, he was on top of me. It shocked me for a second, but I shook it off. He started kissing my shoulder and slowly moved up to my neck. He then barely brushed his lips on mine making me want more.

I tried to flip him over and be the one on top, but he grabbed my wrists and held them on both sides of my head. Percy then kissed me on the lips and I slowly gave in. Our bodies were pressed together and he removed his hands from my wrists.

We were sitting up and I had my arms wrapped around his neck while his hands tangled in my hair. We finally pulled apart to breathe. He laid back down and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me back down on top of him. I laid my head in the crook of his neck and he rubbed my stomach with one of his hands while the other was still secure around my waist. I laid there wondering what the rest of our lives would be like until I started to doze off in his arms.

Percy's POV

I felt Madison's breath even out and I knew that she fell asleep. I started thinking of what our life would be like. I heard a knock at the door. I slowly unwrapped my arms from around her waist. I slowly got out from the bed and made my way to the door. I looked at her sleeping soundly before I put some sweats on and made my way to the door. I opened the door and saw Nico. He had his hair sticking up everywhere and bags under his eyes.

"Perce, what up with your hair?"

I realized that I never straightened up after earlier. I quickly started fixing my hair. "Nothing…" I quickly replied. Nico just laughed.

"Dude, I don't wanna know. Where's Madison?"

"Asleep, what do you want?"

"One of Madison's relatives died."

I pushed Nico out into the hall and shut the door behind me.

"How do you know it is her relative?"

"Well they said that they wouldn't be judged until they see their great-niece. Then they told me her name and described her. Then they said where and how she died and I knew it was her."

I nodded my head and began to think. An idea popped into my head.

"Nico, I need a favor."

He raised his eyebrow at me, but I just pulled him out onto the ship's deck.

"Nico, you got a drachma?"

He searched his pocket and found one. I took it and created mist in the air. I threw it in and said the prayer to Iris. An image appeared and my father came into view.

"Dad…" My father turned around and smiled.

"Son, I'm so proud of you. What can I do for you?"

"Thanks dad. I, uh, have an idea and I need to know where I should go and if I should." I told him all that I had in mind and he agreed to it and told me the coordinates.

"You got it Nico?"

"Yeah…"

"Good, thanks dad."

"No problem son, this is a good thing you are doing. It was Madison's idea to leave in the first place. She didn't want to drag anyone into this life."

"I got it; I just think she needs this. Bye dad."

"Bye son." The image faded. I turned to Nico.

"Ready, Perce? I told everyone on the ship what we are doing and to not tell Madison. They'll make something up."

"Good. Okay, let's go. It's time for a little reunion."

Nico grabbed my sleeve and we descended into the shadows. When we came out, it took me a second to catch my breath. Once I was all better, I took in my surroundings. We were in a peaceful little neighborhood. I looked in front of me and noticed an expensive looking house. It was well taken care of and I could tell that this family invested well and had a good lifestyle.

We walked up the sidewalk to the front door. I took a deep breath and Nico gave me an encouraging nod. I rang the doorbell and heard footsteps shuffle on the other side. The door opened and a man stood there. He had gray hair and looked to be around fifty.

"Can I help you two?" He asked.

"Um, yeah, uh, are you Madison's family?"

He looked at me for a second before yelled inside.

"Honey!" He turned back to us. "Come in, come in."

Nico and I walked in and sat down on the couch. A woman with blonde hair sat down next to the man and a girl a little older than Nico came in the room.

"Dad, what's going on?"

"These people know something about Madison."

She looked at us and I swear she could be Madison's twin. I knew she was younger though.

They all sat down on the other couch.

"Who are you two and do you have information about her death?"

"I'm Percy Jackson and this is Nico di Angelo and uh, Madison isn't dead…"

"What?" They shouted in unison.

"Let us start from the beginning… Do you know about the Greek Gods?"

Madison's POV

I woke up and saw that Percy wasn't in the room. I got up and quickly got dressed in jean shorts and a sea green strapless shirt. What it's hot outside. Aphrodite did give me fashion taste you know…

I went to the kitchen and saw everyone sitting at the center table minus Nico and Percy.

"Hey guys have you seen Percy or Nico." They all looked at each other.

"Percy had to do a secret mission for Poseidon and Nico went to the underworld. They said that they would meet us at the empire state building." Jason told me. I gave him a curious glance and he looked nervous.

"You guys are hiding something… I don't know what it is, but I'm going to find out. Why would Poseidon even give Percy a mission without telling me and why would Percy not tell me bye?"

"He, uh, left in the middle of the night and didn't want to wake you. I was up and he told me to tell you that he would see you soon."

"Well when he gets back, he has a lot of explaining to do…" I wanna know what is going on.
