I don't own PJO or HOO sorry.

Also just wanna say for the person who asked: no Percy doesn't have other powers. But he was holding her hand and didn't feel the ring on her finger. He also looked. But he did feel something was wrong.

Annabeth POV

"Why aren't you wearing your ring?" Crap. That's all I could think when he asked that question. "What do you mean Percy?" "Don't play dumb Annabeth." "Okay." "Well? Are you gonna answer?" "Well, I took it off so I could take a shower." "Why." "Why what?" "Why did you take it off to shower?" "You remember the promise ring you gave me last year?" "Yeah." "That fell off when I was in the shower. And I didn't want the same thing to happen to my engagement ring." He narrows his eyes, probably trying to figure out if I'm lying.

"So why didn't you put it back on?" "Well when I got out of the shower I heard you walk in so I was like 'Crap someones in my room' and then I just forgot." "O-okay. I believe you. But," he looks down at me, "even if you had lost it, we know people who could get it, or a new one, back." "Oh yeah." "Well it doesn't matter now does it?" "No, it doesn't."

He leans down to give me a kiss and I turn on the TV and turn away before he reaches me, "Shush my favorite show is on." He stares at me, mouth slightly agape, "Rude." I smirk without turning away from the TV, "Payback," I correct him. He settles for a kiss on my cheek instead.

Piper POV

Wow. I don't think Percy or Annabeth realized how thin the walls were but practically everyone in the ship could hear them. And I thought I had relationship issues. But that's none of my business now, is it?

Leo announced to the whole ship, through the speakers, that we would be leaving tomorrow. Which was sad but we had school and most of us couldn't afford to miss any more school than we have in our lifetime.

So as we packed our stuff into the car and drove back into the city, I settled into Jason's side and watched a movie on my phone. I looked up about halfway through and saw Annabeth reading, Jason watching YouTube, Percy listening to music, Frank, and Hazel asleep, Will was… well, I'm not sure what he and Nico were talking about but that's what they were doing. Calypso had stayed behind on this trip to work on her magic and clean up the house.

If I'm being honest I almost fell asleep by the time we got to our house. Jason had to shake me out of my daze and tell me that we were home. After everyone was done with whatever they were doing we ordered pizza and wings because it was decided we needed a game night. I think that's Leo's idea.

At some point, we got around to playing Just Dance, I'm still not sure how little Hazel won. But she did. "Okay, Hazel. How in the world did you win?" "Well, when you and Annabeth were… doing your own thing. I apparently got better." "Yeah well there isn't much reason to dance in Tartarus now is there?"

I felt bad for Annabeth at that moment because she had always been slightly more sensitive about their time in Tartarus than Percy. When he brought it up she seemed to have a flashback that ended with her in tears.

A/N: so… because I kinda forgot to write until the last minute and I was busy this week here is a kinda short chapter. It's mostly fluff, nothing too important. Sorry. I was gonna have Percy and Annabeth fight for the next couple chapters but then I was like: ...Nah. So yeah that's how my brain works! Again sorry

P.S. JoeBob you deserve all the cookies! except for the ones I just ate (::) (::)
