Percy

Two minutes after Blackjack had broken the news about Luke: Thalia, Nico, Hermes, Percy, and Blackjack were all crammed into the elevator listening to disco music as they rode down to the lobby to see if Blackjack was telling the truth or not. He was. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator Percy got tackled by his mother, literally the force of the hug knocked him to the ground. Paul strode over to rescue him.

"Sally, don't kill the poor fella." Paul chuckled. Sally got up off her son.

"Hey Paul." But he wasn't looking at his step-father, (AN: A great movie by the way.) he was looking at his old frienemy (friend+enemy), Luke. Thalia ran up and hugged him immediately.

"Thalia," Luke smiled, "I'm sorry." Thalia stepped back and Percy could've sworn he saw a tear stream down her cheek.

"It's okay Luke," Thalia smiled back at him, "I forgive you." Luke gave his father an awkward hug and he shook Nico's hand. Then he turned to Percy.

"No hard feelings," He extended his hand, "I saw what you did. How you used your gift from the gods, to keep your promise to me." Percy nodded and shook Luke's hand.

"No hard feelings." He agreed. Luke looked around at the group and frowned. Percy knew who he was looking for. He braced himself for the question Luke was about to ask.

"Where's Annabeth?" No one answered. "Where's Annabeth?!" Luke asked more sternly. Percy's mom was the first to speak up.

"No," her eyes widened as she made the connection, "one died…Percy came home…that only means…oh Percy!" She ran up and hugged him tears streaming down her cheeks.

"WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE ANNABETH IS!?" Luke screamed. Hermes put his hands on Luke's shoulders.

"She has passed on my son," Hermes chose his word carefully and slowly, "I'm sorry." The next five to ten minutes were filled with so much screaming and crying that the doorman told them that they would have to take their conversation outside. Once they got out their Percy was anxious to ask Luke a question.

"Luke," Percy decided to ask gently and sympathetically, "Um…this is going to sound weird but…aren't you dead?" To Percy's surprise Luke acted like he had been asked that every day of his life. He began to tell them what happened. (AN: This next part is Luke telling them what happened so it will use I and Me and stuff like that just remember that it is Luke saying this not Percy.)

"After I died I went before the council and they sent me to the Elysium and the first thing I did was apologize to everyone that had been killed in the war. Then I tried for rebirth successfully and when I died I was sent back to Elysium. Then I did it two more times and made Elysium every time. Before I went to the Isles of the Blest Hades gave me two days in the land of the living with my old memories and if I apologized to everyone up here then I could keep my old memories when I returned to the Isles of the Blest. He gave me a list of everyone to apologize to." He pulled out a piece of paper with a bunch of names on it. "You guys were my last stop. He claims my soul at sunset. If I can't apologize to Annabeth then I can't live as me in the underworld…Or die as me? Whatever you know what I mean." When he had finally finished his story Nico stood up and said the weirdest thing.

"We're going to need a Happy Meal, a bottle of Coke, and a septic tank." Everyone looked at Nico like he had Harpies coming out of his ears. Percy thought for a moment then he remembered all those years ago to when they popped up out of the Labyrinth in Geryon's ranch: When Nico summoned the ghost of his sister (Bianca) in a sewage tank with some BBQ and Coke. After a brief explanation they divided and conquered and met back in front of the Empire State Building with a Happy Meal and a five pack of Coke (there was six in the pack until Percy got kind of thirsty). With no septic tank or any other usable hole in the area, Thalia used her spear and blasted a crater in the ground with a lightning bolt so powerful it rattled Percy's teeth. He made the hole fill up with water and then Nico dumped in the food and Cokes and began chanting in Ancient Greek. He was chanting so fast Percy only was only able to catch one word: Annabeth. He kept chanting and chanting and chanting and…well you get the point. Percy looked around at the others Luke, Thalia, and his parents were staring wide eyed at the hole in the ground as spirits rose up around them. Hermes acted like this happened every day. When Nico finally stopped chanting he yelled, "RISE!" A glowing figure came up out of the hole the other spirits fled. When the figure stopped glowing Annabeth Chase was standing there. Percy looked over at his parents and friends once again: Thalia looked as if she was going to pass out, Luke's jaw almost literally dropped to the ground, Paul must have went into shock because he was standing there his face white as ghost, Sally looked like she was going to be sick. He turned back toward Annabeth.

"I…uh…hi," that was just about the smartest thing he could of said then. Annabeth laughed.

"Gods you are such a Seaweed Brain Percy." She turned to Luke, "Hades told me what you must do."

"I…uh…gods Annabeth…I'm sorry I hurt you…and…I'm sorry I raised Kronos from Tartarus…and…uh…gods…I'm just so so so so very sorry." He spoke so fast Annabeth started to laugh again.

"Now you're starting to sound like Percy," Annabeth sighed and continued, "but I forgive you." She took something out of her pocket: the picture(s) Thalia placed on her body. "Goodbye Thals. I'll miss you. Nice to see you again Paul. Sally, take care of Percy, and make sure he doesn't do anything too stupid. Hermes, don't let my mom disintegrate Percy, please. Nico, you're going to visit me right otherwise I'm going to get lonely. Percy, I love you. Always have always will. Now you be good okay so you can come to Elysium when you die then we can be together forever and ever and ever." Annabeth sniffled, "Luke, I believe it is time for us to go." Annabeth extended her hand and Luke took it and together they disappeared into the sunset. Percy felt a tear slide down his cheek as he walked over to a park bench. Blackjack trotted over to him the two leftover doughnuts still in the bag in his mouth.

Awe come on boss you still got everyone at camp and your parents and me. We're still here. Blackjack dropped the bag on the bench next to him. C'mon boss you know, I know what you're thinking you're thinking 'the only thing that could make me feel better is to share a doughnut with the best Pegasus in the world!' C'mon boss whatddaya say. Percy sighed and took a doughnut out of the pastry bag he put it in Blackjacks mouth and grabbed the other one for himself he sighed again.

"Cheers, huh." Percy and Blackjack bumped their doughnuts together and ate in silence as they watched the sun disappear behind the horizon. I'll find you Annabeth, thought Percy, I promise.

AN: Thank you very much for all of your reviews and word of encouragement. Now I must ask you a question: Should I write an epilogue where you find out if Percy keeps his promise or should I leave it as is? If you think I should write and epilogue please include some ideas on what I should put in it. Thanks again for all your supportand I hope you vote soon because I'm tallying the votes 4/30/13! Oh p.s. I hope to be uploading a new story soon it will be called The Woes of the Westward Wing. It will be a short story. Like really short. Like each chapter will be less than a page long on Microsoft Word kind of short! So quick get reviewing. PERCABETH FOREVER!
