Hullo. So I'm working on my writer's block on this chapter and worked through everything. So far it's going smoothly. I reread my story from the start until this chapter. I'm completely flushed by my writing. Flushed meaning embarrassed. It's so awful, terrible, dreadful, ghastly, horrific, and other more words that would be synonymous to the mentioned words. Face palm. I saw some of my mistakes, I'm very sorry for those because I'm very lazy to proofread it. I apologize for that.

I also reread the reviews you all have given to me since chapter 1. And in spite of the suckish writing, most people that reviewed totally loved the story. Everytime I write a chapter and publish it, I would think that 'Oh no, nobody's gonna like this chapter'. But I've always thought wrong. Thanks for all who reviewed.

I want to inform you about my poll so I'm putting this here. By the time you are reading this part of the A/N, the poll had just been closed. I finished writing Chapter 15 and so far I wanted to start the next story. So, I'd like to tell you guys that I'll be going to write *drumroll* The Royal Treatment! Wooo!

Oh yeah guys, I have a beta reader already. Cassie's Neighbor just offered, and I gladly accepted. You all give her a warm welcome. She'll start beta reading my next story.

A few more reviews. It's almost 200. Woop woop.

Oh yeah, I've read the Throne of Fire already. And so far, I loved it. I only read it for six hours straight. Ha! Anyways, Logan Lerman has started Perks of Being A Wallflower. The elation I feel when I saw that picture of him with Emma Watson. And Son of Neptune is going to be released on October 4. Woopdidoo!

Anyways, let's get started. This is one heck of an A/N.

Disclaimer: Go ahead, sue me.

"Good luck with your trip, Percy." Percy heard his grandma speak on the phone.

"Yeah, and have fun with Alberto." Percy said.

"Of course, now I have to go." Alice said.

"Bye, gran." Percy said and he put his phone off and placed it in his pocket.

His flight towards New York was going in an hour. But he decided to stay at the airport for a while and ride plane exactly thirty minutes before takeoff. He still had a bit of time. He was nervous at riding the airplane. Ever since his mother died, he grew scared around the plane especially when he hears the turbine engines. But he had to do it. He can't let fear rule over his life.

He sighed and stared at the large window of the airport. He can see a lot of people out there fixing one airplane, he saw one airplane takeoff and saw one that just came. He ignored all those planes and started staring at the sky. He had been doing what Annabeth had said and promised on the letter. Every time he looks at the stars, there's always a spark of hope igniting within him. He feels like he's with her all over again. He was going back to New York. He will see Annabeth again.

Then his thoughts changed. He thought about what to do when he came to New York when a familiar voice asked something, "Nice view, eh?"

Percy looked at his side to see Luke grinning, "Luke, what are you doing here?" Percy asked surprised.

"I have a flight to Australia after two hours. What about you?" Luke asked.

"I'm going back to New York." Percy answered.

"Oh, that's cool. You're gonna go there because of Annabeth, am I right?" Luke asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah." Percy nodded.

"I thought so." Luke nodded with understanding.

"Luke?" Percy called.

"Yeah?"

"Are you still in love with Annabeth?" Percy asked looking at Luke straight in the eye.

"Would there be any difference if I said 'Yes'?" Luke asked hoping for a difference.

"No."

"Well then, yes. I still love her." Luke confessed.

Percy just nodded, "Is part of you mad at me for having a relationship with Annabeth or something similar?"

"No, I'm not mad at you. Or Annabeth. I'm mad at myself." Luke said.

"Why?" Percy asked curiously.

"Well... Instead of making Annabeth closer to me, I pushed her away from me. I pushed her closer to you." Luke said, his face had no emotion just regret. "But she deserves you. You're perfect for her." Luke said, forcing a fake smile.

"Someday Luke, you'll find someone who's perfect for you." Percy said to make Luke feel a bit better.

"Can you promise me something, Percy?"

"Yeah, of course. What is it?"

"Can you promise me that you'll never hurt Annabeth?"

"That's a very—"

"Can you promise me that?" Luke was taking no other answers. He wanted Percy to say yes.

Percy hesitated at first but said, "I promise."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I promise." Percy said with finality.

"If you break that promise, I will take Annabeth away from you." Luke warned.

Percy chuckled, "Feel free. As long as you don't hurt her either."

"Deal?" Luke held out his pinky finger. Normally it's the arm that is usually extended at these times. But for Luke and Percy, it's their pinkies. They've had a weird high school together.

Percy stared at Luke's pinky. It had been a long time since they shared a pinky promise. Whenever the two had a serious agreement, they would have to do a pinky promise. They really had a weird high school together. Percy stuck out his pinky and entwined his with Luke's. "Deal." Percy said.

The two smiled at each other. After the two separated their pinkies, Percy said, "So glad having a pinky promise. It feels like my childhood was back."

"Yeah. Good times, good times." Luke mused.

Percy looked at his wristwatch and said, "Well, I have to go now. It's almost time for takeoff."

"Okay. Bye, Jackson." Luke said, hugging Percy.

"Bye uh... Dare or Castellan?" Percy asked as they pulled away.

"I'd rather do with Castellan." Luke smiled.

"Why?" Percy asked curiously.

"Because I will always be a Castellan." Luke grinned.

"If you say so." Percy shrugged. "Bye, Castellan." Percy waved and walked away.

Luke smiled at his leaving best friend. He knew that Annabeth was in good hands with Percy. Because he knew that Percy wouldn't break his promise.

Annabeth stepped out of the elevator, revealing herself underneath the dark night. She hasn't visited the Empire State Building for two nights. She felt guilty for that. She remembered Thalia saying something two nights ago, "Why go to the Empire State Building, when you can see the night sky on your window?" and she remembered herself answering, "Thalia, this means a lot to me. For the both of us."

Annabeth smiled at the thought. Annabeth looked up to the sky and was disappointed to see the moon with no stars around it. Annabeth sighed. While she was still looking up, a man had spoken beside her, "Looking for stars?"

Annabeth nodded still looking up.

"I was looking for one too, but I think I've found her." The man smiled.

Annabeth furrowed her eyebrows. She seemed to notice that she was talking to a stranger. A stranger with a very familiar voice. Annabeth's heart throbbed as she turned her head to the stranger. And what she saw made no sense, "Percy?" Her heart was beating fast, she can't believe what she was seeing.

"I believe my own star had found me, her own star." Percy grinned.

"I don't believe this." Annabeth said, rubbing her eyes to see if it was a hallucination.

"Embrace what you see because I'm real." Percy said.

Annabeth quickly hugged Percy. Percy looked at the beautiful figure clinging to him. He slowly smiled and hugged Annabeth back. "Is this proof enough?" Percy asked as they pulled away.

Annabeth shook her head, "Nope."

"But—" Annabeth cut Percy off with a kiss. Percy was shocked by their lips meeting but kissed Annabeth back nonetheless. It was a sweet and simple kiss like the one they shared when they were at Italy.

Annabeth pulled away and whispered, "Now that's proof enough."Annabeth smiled.

"Can I get more of that proof?" Percy asked, grinning.

"You'll get more, soon." Annabeth smirked.

Percy took Annabeth's hand and kissed it gently. Percy placed Annabeth's hand on his face and felt every single finger of Annabeth. "I can't believe that I'm seeing you. I missed you so, so much." Percy said reminiscing.

Annabeth withdrew her hand, making Percy frown. But she laced her hand within Percy's. "Yeah, I missed you a lot too." Annabeth smiled. "How long have you been here?" she asked.

"In New York or in this building?" Percy asked curiously.

"Both." Annabeth said, looking down at the bustling cars of New York.

Percy did the same and said, "I've been here in New York, two nights ago. I've been here in this building for two hours already."

"Two hours? You waited for me for two hours." Annabeth said, shocked.

"I'd wait a million years just to see you." Percy smiled.

"How'd you know I was here?" Annabeth asked.

Percy dug around his pocket, pulled out a paper, and showed it to Annabeth. "This."

"What's that?" Annabeth looked at the paper very closely.

"Your letter." Percy said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Percy opened the letter and read a portion of it, "I'll stare at the beauty of the night sky on the Empire State Building so I'll be closer to the stars." Percy folded the paper and put it back to his pocket.

"Oh yeah." Annabeth said, dawning in her that she wrote where she was on the letter. That was a complete give away. "And that letter had been in your pocket for how long?" Annabeth raised her eyebrows.

Percy blushed, "Oh uh... I always bring it with me." Percy grinned.

"Speaking of letters, did you receive mine?" Percy asked, half expecting Annabeth to have it on her pocket too.

"Yeah, I loved it—the letter I mean. It didn't suck." Annabeth grinned.

"Really?" Percy looked at Annabeth like he passed his Math test.

"It was sweet. I liked it." Annabeth reassured.

Percy smiled. He thought that the letter sucked. But coming from a world famous author, he was actually happy that she liked the letter. "I love you." Percy said, smiling towards Annabeth.

Annabeth smiled towards him when she heard those words. "I love you too."

And together they leaned as they kissed under the beauty of the night sky.

Probably everybody's squealing now. So, we had Percabeth! Yes! Ha! I'm so sorry if I update my story week after week. But seriously, I can update this everyday if I could but I'm running a blog. No, not blogspot. Just go to my profile and see.

I'm so happy. I don't know why. Anyways, just go. Review!
