Don't own PJO or HOO T-T but I do own Kai because I made him! I just want to say that it's usually going to be Annabeth or Percy's pov unless something important is happening where it needs to be someone else. On to the story!

Annabeth

Wow. That's all I could think when I saw Argo II again. I should explain. See, Leo decided we should celebrate Percy and I's engagement and Frank and Hazel's second anniversary on the Argo II so he had it decorated. Well, he had it fixed first because when we were coming back from Athens the ship was damaged. Yeah… we'll go with that.

I was told that this was where we were staying so I rolled my eyes and went back to my cabin to grab my stuff. When I went down to my room in the ship my eyes widened. It looked the same as I had left it. Like my bed was still a mess from waking up early to fight a monster.

I admit I was a little worried when Leo started muttering about how something better be ready. But I learned not to ask, he won't answer, just smile and make a joke. So because of that I just let it be and left to clean my room. I was pleased to see Seaweed Brain do the same, although reluctantly.

I was working on a new design for Camp Jupiter when there was a knock at my door, "It's not locked." Piper walks in looking distraught. "Hey… what's wrong Pipes?" She closes the door, "I'm worried Annabeth." "Well yeah, we always have reason to be worried so what is it about this time?" "My relationship with Jason." I frown, "But you guys seemed fine." "To him, we are but…" "It's okay you can tell me." "Well… He spends so much time going between camps to help with the new cabins and such"

That he rarely has time for… us. And when he does he just wants to relax, alone." "Hey, I'm sure it'll get better. We don't plan on starting that again until summer." "Yeah… I guess." "And tell him how you feel, I'm sure he'll understand."

"I suppose…" "And if that doesn't work, Pipes, just remind him how much you went through to be with him." She laughs, "I f***ing HATE Hera." "Same!" We burst into laughter. Suddenly there is another knock on the door and we try to open it or tell them to come in but we're just laughing way too hard.

So naturally, that person bursts in sword ready, thinking there somehow is a monster. Oh, and, it's more than one person. Percy sighs, "What's so funny?" He and Jason put their weapons away. "Yeah," Jason looks at us with puppy dog eyes, "I wanna know." Piper and I just laugh harder at Jason's whining. "The less you know the better," I manage to get out in between laughs. "What the heck does that mean!"

"It means, Percy, that you should go so we can finish getting ready." He sighs and gives me a quick kiss before walking to the dining room. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and noticed Piper looking through my closet. "Um, Pipes?" "Yes." "Whatcha doing?" "Finding something that's not a T-shirt and jeans for the party." "Okay…?"

"Oh! This would look cute on you. Put it on." She had me but on my favorite bikini with a kinda see-through shawl type thing and a comfy pair of jean shorts. That, in all honesty, we're probably short shorts. When I came out she sat me down and started my hair, twin french braids. Piper handed me a pair of sandals that had three straps, one over my big toe, one across the top of my foot and one around my ankle. The second two were twisting around my foot so it looked like they were one strap. They had beaded strings with pearls on the end.

For the first time, I got a chance to look Piper's outfit over and I realized she was wearing a swimsuit too. She wore a cute one-piece with a pair of shorts. "Dang girl." I look at her and smile, "You look good." She smiles, "Thanks but you look better. Thanks to me obviously." "Yeah… no. We should get upstairs." "Yeah- wait what do you mean?" I ignore her and run upstairs.

Percy POV

I was helping Leo set up the lights for the party when Annabeth came running up the stairs. I was gonna catch her but she ran right past me. I look at the others but they're all just as confused as me. Then Piper comes running up cursing Annabeth's name. I smile, definitely Camp Halfblood. Then Jaso breaks the silence, "Did you see how good Piper looked. Dam." Thalia and I burst out laughing, "I- I still need th-the dam restroom." "A-and I still want some dam fr-french fries," Grover walked over to us and we told him why we were laughing.

He snorts, "Where's that dam snack bar, Zoë." Our laughter dies down after a bit and Thalia speaks up, "Gods I miss her." "Both of them, they didn't deserve that." The three of us nod in agreement. I look around and realize it's already dark. You could see the stars. Annabeth and I had come into the habit of saying hi to the sun and the stars every day. Our friends still thought we were slowly going crazy but Nico understood. As I sat there with my friends waiting for the party to start I whispered something that I was surprised the others could hear. "Bob says hello."

The others look at me like I'm crazy. "What," I cry, "Am I suddenly not allowed to keep a promise to a friend!?" They still have the same look in their eyes but now they are scared. I sigh, "I'll be in my room." My friends move out of the way as I walk by.

After a few moments of me throwing my textbooks, Annabeth walks in, "Hey Seaweed Brain." "Wise Girl" "I know you're frustrated and you miss them but there is no reason to hurt your books." I roll my eyes and tell her, "You would say that." "Why don't we go down to the beach." "... Yeah"

(At the beach) ANNABETH POV

"So… wanna talk about it Seaweed Brain?" "Not really." "You should. It'll help." "It's just that… everyone I get close to goes through so much pain. And they went through so much to help and yet I couldn't save them." "Oh, Percy. You can't blame yourself." "But I can and I do. I mean, what if something ever happened to you. I don't think I could live with that." I tackled him in a hug and murmur in his ear, "If anything ever happens to me I don't want you to blame yourself. I want you to keep living this odd life we have and try to find love again, okay?" "I don't think I could-" "Don't. If anything EVER happened to me it wouldn't be your fault."

"But-" "No buts. It's not your fault we live in this messed up world. It's not your fault." "Yeah but-" "I said no buts. Now, do we have an understanding?" "Yeah." He gave me what started as a quick kiss but quickly became heated. I reluctantly pulled away,

"For now why don't we go join the party? Then later I wanna spend time with my fiance."

"Oh okay. Well, whoever it is is one lucky guy." I look at him, "I'm talking about you idiot." "Riiiiiiight." I roll my eyes and get up. "Bet you can't beat me to the ship." "Oh it is on like donkey kong." I give him a look that says 'What the heck' and start running. Honestly, I wasn't even out of breath when I got to the ship but Percy came sprinting after me and could barely breathe. "Seaweed Brain, you're supposed to be in shape!" "Y-yeah no"

Hazel and Frank walk over laughing at Percy, "Hey man, you're supposed to BEAT her not lose to her." Hazel looks at Frank and asks if there is any specific reason that he NEEDED to beat me. "Well because it was a race and Percy is always bragging about how he's the best at everything."

I laugh at the second one, "Please. I beat him at sword fighting, have more followers and subscribers, and now I'm faster. What do you want me to beat you next?"

Jason

Man Piper looked hot chasing Annabeth. I mean like knock-out gorgeous. Don't get me wrong Annabeth looked good too but I'll leave admiring her to Percy.

Speaking of Percy honestly, I couldn't believe he proposed to Annie. Honestly, though her response was hilarious: "Seaweed Brain you already proposed. Before we were even dating." "I what now." "Yeah in Greece if you throw an apple to a girl that's asking her to marry you and if she catches it that means she says yes." "So we've been engaged since… that hacky sack game. Is that the funny thing you never told me on the bus?" "Yep." "Okay well, now you have the ring." "Yeah."

The expression on his face was priceless. When he found out that they have technically been engaged for like three years before they were even dating. Yeah. Honestly, I wish I had the guts to do that but Piper and I just haven't had any time together. I know she's upset about it but there's nothing I can do.

But now we're going to school. Technically, we missed senior year while we were saving the world. So now it looks like we got held back. Which Percy technically was but the rest of us have never gone to school. Percy claims that highschool sucks but honestly I think he's over exaggerating.

I've only gone for one day but it wasn't that bad. While we were sitting and listening to Percy, Thalia, and Grover laugh about something and talk about how much they miss someone Percy did that thing where he looks up at the sky and says 'Bob says hello' everyone but Nico thinks that he and Annabeth are going crazy; they've been doing that ever since they came back from Tartarus.

So we all stared at him like he was crazy and he got all made and asked if it was suddenly wrong to keep a promise to a friend. He was so mad and we all thought he was gonna get Riptide out but he just walked away to his room. Annabeth chased after him being the only one who can calm him down.

After a few moments, they walk out and go down to the beach. I looked at Piper and asked her if we could talk. So we went down to my cabin. "Okay, I know something is bothering you and I think I know what." She snorts, "Yeah right." "It bothers you that I didn't have time for us over the summer. But now we get to see each other at school and live in the same house." She looks away, not meeting my eyes. "Pipes?" "It's just… at school, all the girls are talking about you and how cute you are. And Percy but that doesn't bother me as much"

"Say what now?" "Yeah. They're always talking about you and it's SO hard not to turn around and punch them. I mean they don't stop there either. They talk about how it's just a matter of time before you realize you can do better than me. A-and they…" "What Piper! Please this is NOT the time to lose your voice." "Th-they talk a-about all the s-stuff that they would do th-that I-I'm not"

Her voice got quieter as she spoke but I could still tell what she was talking about. "Pipes… no one can compare to you. No one. You're too amazing for me to care about that. Trust me. If I wanted some clueless mortal I would have found one before I lost my memory and found you." "Really? You mean that?" "Yeah, Pipes. I do."

I pull her into a hug and tell her that I've missed this. I kiss her and if I'm being honest it kinda turned into an intense make-out session. I hear a knock on the door. "The party," I remember, "You know we should probably go." "Yeah, just a sec. I need to find my camera." After she searches her room and ultimately finds the camera on the top shelf in her closet.

We head upstairs and… Oh, Gods… we shouldn't have left Leo and the Stolls unsupervised.

A/N: So… cliffhanger. Don't kill me. I prefer to stay alive. Although this one is gonna be pretty good. I was gonna keep going but then ran out of time so you'll have to wait for the next chapter. Yep. Please review and at least say that you read this because no one does! Bet ya no one will! Oh btw I told my Dad today that because he didn't know why I was ranting about the "Pery Jackson" he should be judo flipped by Nobody and he thought I was crazy. Also, I will only do the responses on Saturdays so if I do a chapter early it won't have that.

Review Responses:

JoeBob: It's your lucky day! You're the only one who gave a review I can respond to so Thank You! Thank you for liking my story. Thank you for reviewing and telling me you like it. So yeah. Everyone likes Percy. In the books, Rachel liked him so I was just like let's make her never have been the oracle or 'the sight'. Yeah, Piper's dare has a little aftermath but we aren't gonna talk about that until the next chapter! Maybe even later! I can't wait to see what [all of] you think about my next chapter!

Sorry for rambling!
