A/N Hey all! Sorry I haven't updated until now. . So without further delay, here's the 3rd chapter! :D

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Percy's POV

As I was leaving Olympus, I bumped into someone. "Oh, sorry about that," I said distractedly. Looking up, I saw Artemis. "A- Artemis," I stuttered.

"Oh hello, Perseus," she said.

"I- I want to say," I started. Then she cut me off.

"Let's just forget about everything that happened, alright?" she smiled gently.

"But," I started again.

"I know what you're trying to say. You're sorry. I am too," and with that, she walked away.

"But… I'm in love with you," I whispered as she walked out of my line of sight. Sighing, I kept on walking with my head down, resulting in running into someone, again. I really need to stop doing this. "Hey Annabeth," I said as I smiled weakly.

"Hey Percy! What happened? Why are you looking so sad?" she questioned.

"Oh, well I talked to Artemis," I replied.

"What'd she say?" she inquired further.

"She wants to forget about everything that happened…" I looked down at my feet at this.

"Well, maybe it's for the best, maybe you just don't belong with her," at this statement, I looked up at her to see a satisfied expression on her face.

"What do you mean Annabeth? I love her!" I exclaimed.

"Percy, I still love you. I can't let you go. About what I said earlier, I lied. Don't leave me, Artemis will never return your feelings. You belong with me, and you know it," she said softly.

"No Annabeth, I don't know it. Move on and find someone else, because I'm in love with Artemis and I'll do everything I can to win her back," I said. I started walking again, toward the elevator, but this time with my head held high.

"You'll regret this Percy! When she rejects you again, you'll come crawling back!" she called out after me.

I stopped and slowly turned around to face Annabeth before saying, "I don't care if she rejects, I won't be coming back to you. You can count on that. And I certainly won't regret this." This left her speechless and I continued on to the elevator. Once inside, I sighed and slammed my head against the wall, knowing that Annabeth was probably right about Artemis not taking me back. But she was wrong about me coming back to her, I promised myself not to let that happen.

Walking to my apartment, I told my mom and Paul about what had happened and then left for the ocean. Wading into the water, I whistled and Tyson's favorite hippocampi Rainbow, showed up. I got on, and we descended into the water.

Artemis' POV

It really hurt, telling Percy I wanted to forget about what happened, but it was for the best. I am a virgin goddess who hates boys. I will not break my oath just for this one.

2 Years Later Artemis' POV

It has been 2 years since I last saw Percy. After that day, he disappeared and no one has heard from him. Not the camp, not his mother, no one. Currently, I am on my way to an urgent council meeting. At least, that's what Lord Zeus says. I stepped into the throne room, and went and sat at my throne.

"Well now that we're all here, what is so urgent about this meeting Lord Zeus?" Athena asked. Sure enough, when I looked around, I noticed I had been the last to arrive and most of the other gods and goddesses looked really annoyed.

Zeus cleared his throat and began speaking. He was being very dramatic and I tuned out what he was saying until I heard him saying for Poseidon to do the honors. I glanced over at Poseidon as he started talking. "Well, you all know my favorite son Percy, right?"

"Peter Johnson?" Dionysus asked. Poseidon growled at this and shot a murderous glare at him. Dionysus flinched and corrected himself. "Ah, I mean Percy Jackson, right. I know him."

"Good, well I know where he has been these past 2 years," he said.

I blurted out, "Where?" unable to control myself. All the gods and goddesses looked at me with confused expressions on their faces. It was actually quite funny. "Uh… I mean, where has he been all this time?"

With all the interruptions, Zeus had been getting very annoyed, "Well if you all would shut up, then maybe you'd find out!" he said impatiently.

Everyone settled down and Poseidon continued. "He has been at my undersea palace these past 2 years training to become a god." Gasps were heard all across the room and I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. I couldn't bear to see Percy again. I would be reminded of just how much I still love him even though I've tried so hard to deny it. "Percy, come in here!" Poseidon called. As he walked in I felt my heart start beating a million miles per hour. He had changed in these past 2 years. He was more muscular, probably a result of his training. His hair was also a little shorter, but still all over the place. He had a deeper tan, and just looked better all around. He looked right at me and smiled that breath-taking smile of his. He turned to face Zeus as he began chanting in ancient Greek and everyone joined in. A sea-green light engulfed Percy and when it had faded, Percy was now 12 feet tall with a sea-green aura surrounding him. Then Zeus started speaking again. "Poseidon and I have decided to name you god of the tides and heroes. Now let's party!" A cheer followed this announcement and with a snap of Zeus' finger, the party began.

I was standing to the side, next to the punch bowl just watching what was going on when Percy came up to me. "So, great party, huh?" he asked.

"Um, yeah, it is," I replied rather awkwardly.

"You know, the moon pulls the tides, you have the same effect on me," he grinned.

"Is that your lame excuse of a pick-up line?" I asked while bursting out laughing.

He adopted an injure look on his face while asking, "What? You really think it's that lame?"

"It is beyond lame," I replied. We both started laughing and when we were finally able to control ourselves, our eyes met and he started leaning closer. I was also leaning forward before I caught myself and pulled back. "We can't do this Percy, it's not right," I said as I started to walk away.

"No, it is right, and you know it," he said while stepping forward and grabbing hold of my wrist to keep me from walking away.

"Let. Go. Percy." I said slowly. He let go.

"I really do love you," he called after me as I continued walking. This made me hesitate a second before resuming my walk away from him. This time it was me who was walking away from him and us.
