The wind was calm and all was peaceful on this warm summer night. Eleven years old Percy laid on the grass as he stared up at the sky, lost in his own thoughts. His best friend, Luna, was next to him, pointing out the different stars and constellations.

"Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?" Luna demanded, making Percy realize that she asked a question as quickly coming out of his thoughts and put his hands under his head, using it as a pillow, after pulling the hood on his dark blue sweater onto his head. He smiled sheepishly, making Luna huffed, turning her head as she smacked Percy with her braid.

Percy glared at her half-heartedly as he grumbled. "What was that for?!"

Luna didn't reply, curling herself onto her fluffy jacket. She was wearing black baggy pants and a white shirt inside. Percy turned her over, hugging her from behind as Luna turned slightly, looking at him with a playful gleam in her silver eyes.

"For not listening," Luna stated matter of factly before pushing him off her. "Now get off me! You're one heavy guy."

"Hey!" Percy protested as he rolled off his best friend with an offended look on his face. "If someone here is heavy, it's you!"

"No, it's you," Luna protested as she turned onto her side so she was facing him. "I get exercise and you don't."

"I do swimming classes and I take a run with you every day, remember?" Percy reminded Luna, trying to make it sound like he actually did something even though he knew that his best friend's definition of exercise is very different from his. She took archery class and tennis. She even does ice skating as a hobby. Took a jog with him every morning and filled her free time hunting in the woods.

"That's just a light jog," Luna sighed dramatically. "And I know it's so hard for you. Maybe next time we should have an even lighter jog. From our classroom to the playground."

Percy punched her playfully as he whined. "Stop with the sarcasm, it's killing me."

"I thought you told me nothing can kill you just the other day," Luna raised her eyebrow as Percy pouted once more.

"Remind me again why I put up with you?"

"Because I am awesome," Luna winked, though there was something hidden beneath her huge smile that Percy couldn't quite place. "I think maybe it's you who should remind me why I put up with you."

"Because I'm more awesome," Percy smirked as Luna grumbled under her breath, tackling her best friend without a warning, pinning him to the ground. Percy struggled under her strong grip but he eventually shook her off, flipping them so he was on top.

"Look at the stars, Perce," Luna suddenly called out from underneath him, making Percy lose his focus as he looked at the night sky, which is all she needed as she got up from underneath him, earning a protest from Percy but he didn't do anything to stop it.

They sat side by side as they stared at the night sky in comfortable silence, their shoulders brushing each others' slightly. Luna leaned her head on Percy's shoulder as she sighed softly, wrapping her arms around Percy. "I have something to tell you."

"What?" Percy looked toward his best friends, seeing the sadness in her eyes, making him hug her back. "What's wrong?"

"There's something you should know," she mumbled softly against his embrace as Percy hugged her even tighter, feeling Luna trembling slightly beneath him. "I'm leaving."

Percy pulled away in surprise as he studied Luna's face, realizing she's not lying. "Y-You're moving away?"

Luna nodded sadly, tears started to fall from her eyes as she leaned against Percy, trying to remember this moment forever. "I'm sorry. My dad got a job in Greece and we had to leave as soon as possible."

"When will you leave?" Percy asked, afraid of the answer as Luna started sobbing slightly.

"I don't want to leave you," she said instead. "You taught me so much and I wouldn't have been able to do a lot of things if I never met you. I'm sorry to leave on such short notice but for the first time in forever, I realized I actually care for a boy. I just couldn't believe it. You open my eyes to so many things."

Percy listened to her, gently stroking her back, calming her down slightly as Luna took another deep breath, answering Percy's previous question. "Tonight, I'm leaving toning."

"Right now?" Luna nodded as she stood up, giving him a small smile as she did something that surprised both of them. She kissed him gently on the cheek before quickly turning away, flashing bright red as she looked back one final time and started running toward the forest, tears spilling down her cheek.

Percy just stood there dumbfounded, trying to process what just happened.

Artemis rushed into the forest, turning back into her twelve years old form as tears continued to fall down her face when she flashed directly into her tent, collapsing on her bed as she continued to sob. It was really unlike her to do so but yet she couldn't stop the tears from falling once it started.

She never imagines leaving someone could be so hard but her father and possibly the rest of the Olympian are started to suspect this. She way be able to pull off going into mortal form in the past few years but when she split herself so she's in two different places will make her lose some of her power. And her father had started giving her hunting assignments again, telling her what monsters she and her hunters has to hunt down.

Artemis rubbed her eyes as she sat up slowly, staring at herself in the mirror, realizing how bloodshot her eyes looked. She couldn't help but chuckle at herself as she snapped her fingers, her hunter attire back on as she rejoined herself with the other Artemis as memories flooded her mind, from the new recruits to private conversations with hunters.

She still couldn't believe how much staying in the mortal world had changed her. How much a male had changed her. How much the son of Poseidon had changed her. There was a soft voice that called out from the other side of her tent flat.

"Milady? Can I come in?"

"Come in Zoë," Artemis called out as she rubbed her eyes again, calming herself as another memory suddenly flashed into her mind. The last moment with Percy, who she kissed his cheek. She doesn't know what came over her but at the time it seems right, so she did it. Her tent flat was opened as Zoë walked in, walking toward Artemis.

"Milady, are tho alright? I saw thee came back to camp just now," Zoë asked her mistress in concern as Artemis waved off her Lieutenant off, her face flushing bright red.

"I'm fine Zoë, just something that came up," Artemis offered her a small smile but Zoë didn't look convinced. Unlike Artemis, she pointed it out.

"Are thou sure?"

Artemis nodded a bit too quickly as she stood up, about to walk out of her tent. "I'm going to be gone for a bit. Pray to me if you need help."

"Yes, milady," Zoë quickly bowed as she walked out of her tent, Artemis close behind her as she flashed herself away to the middle of a forest, a lake in front of her. The full moon reflected on the lake as Artemis laid back on the grass, closing her eyes. She could imagine Percy next to her, laughing and joking, yet when she opened her eyes, no one was there. She sighed as she closed her eyes slightly, a memory, short, yet sweet, flashing to the front of her mind.

Artemis laid down beside Percy in the park near their house, staring up at the clouds in the clear morning sky. They just finished their routine morning jog and they found a spot near the park's lake hidden by trees.

"Have you being practicing?" Artemis asked teasingly as Percy glared at her half-heartedly. She had always been faster than him, which isn't surprising. These few days she had realized how much he had improved over a matter of weeks.

"No..." Percy started slowly but Artemis cut him off with a glare, making him sighed. "Fine, maybe a little..."

"Is it because you're scared of losing to me?" Artemis nudged him as he scowled at her.

"Pfft, I'm not scared of losing to you Luna," Percy said, but his face betrayed his word.

"Whatever you say," Artemis rolled her eyes.

Artemis was brought out of her thought as she laid back on the grass, staring at the sky, whispering softly. "I miss you, Percy...

"I hope we can meet again in the future..." Artemis said softly to herself, not noticing the shooting star passing over her head.

Percy walked home, his eyes still wet with tears as he wiped it away quickly, not wanting her mom to be worried. He walked in, Gabe was once again drunk on the couch and he saw the light in the kitchen on. Ever since Luna threatened Gabe, he had become a bit better but not by much. Percy can't wait for the day when he can finally make money and buy him and his mom a better home, build a better life.

He walked toward his room without a word as he closed the door quietly behind him. He leaned against it as he slipped to the ground, hugging his knees to his chest as he sobbed quietly.

He had thought that he and Luna would be best friends forever and that nothing will ever change but every good time has to come to an end. He slowly stood up as he walked toward the window, leaning against it, watching the people walking on the sidewalk before.

Percy closed his eyes as thoughts swirled around his head. He hoped that Luna was still with him, teasing him, laughing at his idiotic personality. He wrapped his arms around himself, imagining Luna hugging him, that she's by his side.

"I wish you're here," he whispered softly as he closed his eyes, unaware of the shooting star that passed his window.

Twelve years old Percy sat at his dorm in Yancy Academy, his best friend Grover sitting across from him in his own bed. He stared at him, wanting to ask him the question again. Ever since the visit to the museum and their pre-algebra teacher Mrs. Dodds turned into a demon-like creature and tried to eat him, Percy wanted to know what had happened. But no one answered him.

It's like she disappeared into thin air. Whenever Percy asked someone, they just told him that he's losing his mind. He sighed again, wondering what's wrong with him. He knew that if Luna was here, she'll definitely calm him down or slapped him a few times before telling him that's he's going crazy.

His new best friend can never be like Luna. Grover was weird. Percy never gets him, it's like he's hiding something from him but Percy could never find out what.

Percy sighed as he closed the textbook he was trying to read. "Good night G-man."

"Good Night," Grover called out as he closed the notebook he was fiddling with and put it away, climbing into his bed. Percy watched him for a while, opening his mouth to ask him the question again before closing it and flipped the light off, pulling his cover over him, falling into his usual nightmare of a demon-like creature trying to eat him alive.
