This is probably the most random idea in the history of ides, but it is sweet.

Surprise at the Supermarket

"Okay, Seaweed brain, we need ten oranges, three bananas, five apples, one watermelon, three turkey breasts, a can of peas, and an Italian roll," Annabeth said.

"You'll get the roll, peas, and turkey while I get the fruit. On your mark, get set, go!" I said and raced to the other side of the market.

It was a couple years after the Earth war and everything was peaceful again. Annabeth and I were together, and the Olympian council had done almost everything I had asked for. They didn't do it gladly, but they did it, and for that, I was greatful.

Anyways, I was walking down the produce aisle freezing my limbs off when I heard this humming. Not the kinds of humming you hear from someone listening to rock on their iPod. This was soft and sweet and triggered a memory only I would have, but I was drawn away from it when I remembered the race.

Quickly, I scooped up the bananas, apples, and the watermelon and started for the register, but I was stopped short by a smaller figure running into me.

"Sorry," she said. I froze. I had heard this voice before, and the memory was triggered again. I knew exactly who it came from.

"Calypso?" I asked. Her eyes widened. She looked exactly the as she had seven years ago: almond eyes, caramel hair, and that healthy glow that was so natural.

"Percy, is that you?" she asked, and I nodded. "You remember me?"

I was stock still. Calypso was my biggest "what if?" Of course I remembered her, but I wasn't about to tell her that so I just asked: "They kept their promise?"

"Who? The Olympians? Oh, yes. Now I am allowed to go in and out of my home with freedom. I have been greatful to that," she replied calmly. I smiled.

"How do you like Manhattan?" I asked. She shrugged.

"It is quite crowded and noisy. I do with that the air and the soil could be separated. It does wonders to my allergies!" she said sniffling.

"You've had too much clean air!" I joked. She laughed, and my heart warmed up.

"Yes, I suppose…," her voice trailed off as she heard a voice behind her.

"Calypso, have you… Percy?" it asked. I looked at who called my name. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but no. Standing before me was the whole reason I lived, Ethan Nakamura.

"Ethan?" I asked. "H-how… I thought you died!"

"Almost, but I landed on this place called Ogygia, and Calypso healed me!" he said. Calypso smiled tentatively at me, and I knew what had happened.

"The fates finally take pity on you?" I asked. She nodded, but Ethan looked confused. I looked at him. "We've met."

"Yes," Calypso said, "but I wasn't able to fully heal him."

He nodded and for a second I could see the outline of cloth over his eye.

"Ah, I see… Wait, sorry that pun was an accident!" Ethan and Calypso laughed right as Annabeth came around.

"Ha, I beat you! Who's this?" she asked. She looked at Calypso and Ethan. "Ethan?"

He nodded, "I landed on Ogygia and Calypso healed me before you ask." He gestured to Calypso.

She held her hand out, "Nice to meet you…"

Annabeth shook her hand, but had that almost mad look in her eye, "Annabeth. I heard a bit about you from Percy."

Calypso smiled at that, "As have I. He does have a tendency to—"

"—talk in his sleep?" she asked. "Yeah, it's a problem!"

"Hey!" I said. Everyone laughed. Ethan looked at his watch.

"Oh, we have to go! We need to catch up sometime."

I nodded as they started to walk away, "A lot to catch to catch up on!"

"Wait, Percy have you remembered my promise?" Calypso asked. I nodded and smiled.

"Yeah, it's still there." She smiled.

"Goodbye!" I waved goodbye and they disappeared from sight.

"What was that about?" Annabeth asked. I just stared at the same spot.

"Nothing, just a flower." She nodded.

"Well, let's hurry 'cuz we still have to cook!" she said pulling me. I laughed and went with her. Calypso was with Ethan; Rachel was the oracle, so I had Annabeth all to myself.

My biggest what-if was happy, and so was I.

Yay! Cool and random huh? So I decided to add all of my short stories together to form a kind of drabble-y thing. Yay!
