Four months later.

Percy POV:

"Chiron?" Annabeth asks as we enter the Big House. It was Eric's weekend with Lydia so me and Annabeth were taking advantage of it. We decided to spend the weekend at Camp Half-Blood. It was also the weekend of July 4. When the Hephaestus cabin put on the annual firework show. "Oh, Annabeth, Percy. How nice to see you guys are visiting." he says to us. "Um, there aren't any demigods in the Poseidon cabin. Right?" I ask him. "No, there are not any. You two are welcome to stay there for the weekend." he says as he walks out of the room.

When we get to the cabin I see it hasn't changed at all. We set down our suitcases and stand there. I decide to break the silence. I grab Annabeth by the waist and pull her onto a bed with me. "PERSEUS JACKSON!" she says yelling and laughing. "Yes?" I say with a smile on my face. Annabeth turns and pulls me towards her. We kiss.

We are stopped by snickering. Outside the cabin some teenage demigods were giving them smiles. I get up go over to the window. There is a large puddle from some rain right next to where they are standing. I then will the water to splash all over them. "Uh! My hair!" one of the girls says. "That will teach you not to mess with Percy Jackson." I say to them. The looks on their faces change when I tell them who I am. They then run away.

I look at Annabeth and she has a look on her face that says, I am trying not to laugh at you but I can't help it. I then close then curtains and lay back down with Annabeth. "Percy, I just want to say that I am sorry." She says to me. "For what?" I reply. "For everything. For leaving you. For making your life miserable. I knew how horrible you felt for all of those years but I just left you that way. It should've been you all along, Percy." She tells me. "No, Annabeth, its not your fault. I knew you couldn't take all the horrible memories and being with me just made them worse." I tell her. She then kisses me. But its different from any other kiss we have ever had. Its almost like we know everything will be okay. Like we have no other worries. "I love you, Percy." she says. I am about to reply "I love you too" but it just doesn't seem good enough. I love Annabeth but its not just love. Its more than that. "Annabeth, you are my everything. I love you more than all the stars in the sky." I tell her. She looks up at me and smiles. She wraps her arms around me tighter. I rest my chin on her head.

Annabeth POV:

I love knowing that Percy is right here with me. As we are laying in one of the bunks in the Poseidon cabin I can feel the warmth from Percy's body circulating around us. He smells like the ocean and peppermint. I never want to let go of him.
