I don't own PJO. Hi everyone! So I was listening to this song called " When You're Gone" and it gave me this idea. I hope you like my new story and btw I might update my other stories on Saturday.

Annabeth's POV

I walked around the arena looking for my siblings. It was the start of another summer and I wanted to know who was here. Tow years had past since the Titan's War. Two years since we defeated Kronos. Two years since I saw my best friend Percy.

He had moved a few months after the war, I'm not sure why. Everything was different since then. Of course I knew I would miss him. I just didn't know it would be this much.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I made my way towards the cabin area.

" Annabeth!" I turned around and saw Thalia running towards me.

" Hey Thals. Something wrong?"

" No. I-um. Just wait until lunch time."

Wait for what? I was about to ask but she was gone.

When I entered my cabin and saw no one was there. This was really irritating. I sat down on my bed and grabbed my laptop my half brother gave me four summers back.

I checked through all the architectures that I wanted to accomplish. There were so many that when I had just gotten it I thought I would never finish any of them. I had to.

I was starting college soon and I wanted to have everything ready. I have many plans ahead of me. Things I need to accomplish.

I heard the lunch bell ring and I got up, closing my laptop. I walked slowly toward the pavilion and noticed many people surrounding one of the tables I couldn't see. I shrugged it off.

I sat down at my table and heard many people yelling and laughing behind me. I started to wonder why people would be standing near the Poseidon table.

" Annabeth, come here." I looked up and raised my eye brows at my younger sibling.

" Why?"

She sighed, frustrated. " Just get up."

I rolled my eyes and followed her.

" Percy, man I can't believe you're here!"

Percy? He was here? He was back? I tried moving forward but it seemed as if the whole camp was standing there. I got shoved many times until I I got to the front.

" Percy?", I asked.

He grinned. " Wise Girl!"

" SeaweedBrain! Nobody told me you were back." I smiled.

" It was a surprise. But I was starting to believe you weren't going to come."

I laughed. " Well am here."

" That's great." He wrapped his arms around me and I blushed. Sure I have hugged him before, but it just felt different. Real different. We pulled apart and I noticed he was blushing too.

" Alright Everyone! To your table!" Chiron stomped his hoof and every noise died down. People made their way to their tables but I just sat next to Percy.

" As you all know, it is the start of another summer. We are hoping to have, yet again, another peaceful summer." Everyone cheered, agreeing.

" Some of you might also heard the news. You might have talked to him. But for those who don't know yet, Percy Jackson is back!"

I heard people clap and cheer. I smiled at him and he grinned at me. Once everything quieted down. I turned to him.

" How have you been?", I asked.

" Great! Everything's great. You?"

" I've been good. You know, the usual."

He laughed. " What's the usual for a demigod?"

I rolled my eyes and he went back to eating. I stared at him and noticed he had changed. He looked taller and his skin was more tanned. His black hair rolled the same but it covered his eyes a little. He definitely had muscles. But not like those guys who just looked weird. I frowned at myself. Why was I thinking this..?

" How's Athena?" I looked up and shrugged.

" I don't know. I'm guessing good."

" I haven't heard from my dad since I moved."

" Why is that?"

" I don't know. I'm hoping I get the chance to talk to him tonight."

I smiled and nodded. I got up.

" Where're you going?"

" Practice", I answered.

I grabbed my knife and saw Clarisse standing there. I knew she was practicing for the capture the flag game tonight. I smiled, knowing we would beat the Ares cabin this time.

" Hey Clarisse."

" Oh, hey." Believe it or not we became friends. She wasn't.. so bad. Of course if you pissed her off, that would mean trouble. I made sure that I kept my comments to myself when I was around her.

" Practicing?", I asked.

She nodded. " You guys aren't winning. Again." She grinned evilly and I rolled my eyes.

" What makes you so sure?"

" Oh I just know."

I guess she understood I was here to practice too because she turned towards me and grabbed her sword " Lamer." That wasn't its real name but everyone called it that.

She moved her sword the same time I moved my knife. Left to right. She kicked me once and I shrugged it off. Rule of strategy: Don't give up easily.

" Clarisse, Chris is looking for you."

She stopped. Now you may be wondering" why would Clarisse ever stop a fight? I guess Chris was important to her.

I was a little tired so I walked over to the woods, to a little creek I found a while ago. It was an amazingly beautiful place. The crystal blue water ran quickly and made little noises.

Purple, yellow, orange, any color you can think of for flowers laid on the grass. For some reason the place calmed me.

I sat down and laid down. I wondered what Percy was doing now? I guess he was still getting a bunch of attention. I smiled. He must love that.

I was hoping everything could stay the same. I hope that we could still be friends. I felt a tingling feeling in my heart at the word " friend." I shook my head. Those thoughts were really unnecessary. Me and Percy were friends. Heck, best friends might be the correct term. I just couldn't stop but over hear the voice in my head telling me, stop lying to yourself, dear. I rolled my eyes. If Aphrodite thinks she could fool me, she's really wrong.

I decided to stop because I didn't want another goddess to hate me. I already had crazy Hera after me.

" Annabeth? What are you doing here?"

" Oh, Hi Percy."

" Hey."

He laid next to me and sighed.

" Something wrong?", I asked.

He chuckled. " No. Just happy to be here."

I smiled. I felt his eyes on me and I turned towards him. He was really close and it made me blush.

" Things have changed huh?", he asked.

" What do you mean?"

" Well-"

He stopped. I heard a noise near us. Growling. My hand went automatically to my knife. They said monsters could always be wandering the woods. You never know what could pop out.

We got up and made our way slowly to the noise. The growling got louder and I was starting to think it was a hellhound.

I saw a huge black thing with fur and I was about to attack when it jumped on Percy.

" Mrs. Oleary!", he screamed.

I sighed with relief and put my knife away. I laughed at his expression when she licked his face.

" Gross. What are you doing here, girl?"

She barked loudly and licked him again. " That's nice.."

I laughed. Ever since Percy left, nobody saw her that much. I bet she was really happy at the moment.

She got off him, and Percy started laughing. " You scared me for a minute there." I smiled.

I heard a conch ring and Percy turned towards me.

" Ready for capture the flag?"

" You bet."

He got up and we ran towards the east woods, knowing we would beat them this time.

I really liked this chapter. I hope you guys liked it too. Anyways, if you see any grammar mistakes please tell me. My goal is to be grammar-less. Review!
