Before I start this story, I have to say that it was inspired by a true story. I shared this string of dreams with my girlfriend, and I would like to write about it here, for you guys.
A special shout out to: IFoundAPickle, Zoe Anderson, Amber Viridien, and frostfeatherFTW101 for reviewing.
You guys don't know how much it means to me to have a few inspiring words to keep me going. Thanks!
Of Dreams and Lost Things
The sunset was beautiful. Pink clouds loomed over the horizon, and the sun was a giant ball of orange over the similarly colored sea. Beaches were always a favorite place of the couple standing there right now. But it wasn't really the sunset they were focused on. They focused on each other. He focused on her gray eyes, and she focused on his green ones. Their arms were around each other, and their foreheads were touching. Green eyed boy flashed his goofy grin.
"Annabeth, there's been something that I wanted to share with you." Percy said, as he pulled out a small book. "Come, we shall sit down, shall we?" Percy asked.
"Sure, Seaweed Brain, what is this thing that you wanna share?" Grey eyed girl said, as she sat down in next to Percy, and snuggled up against him.
"It's a couple notes that I wrote in the middle of the night. You see, in between all those weird demigod dreams I also had a few pleasant ones. This is what I wrote in the black of night with a flashlight, and in the morning I would always remember my dream." Percy explained, as he showed her a pocket sized book.
He flipped it to the first page brought out a flashlight, and scribbled on the white paper were the words written in a sort of shaky handwriting, but it was legible. Annabeth read it, and made out: Searching. Searching for something… important? Vital?
"This was my first dream. I dreamt I was searching for something missing. Like… like a dropped sewing needle or a one of a kind pen."
"Searching huh?" The blonde asked.
"Yeah…" The black haired boy responded.
"When I met you, I had another dream, and it was like I was on the verge of finding what I was looking for." Percy said, flipping to the second page, where it was scribbled: Almost found it.
"Almost found what?" Annabeth asked.
"Wait, you'll find out soon enough." Percy shushed her. "I had another dream when I was separated from you, (A/N Titan's Curse) that I lost my track, I couldn't find the thing anymore. That was the first time I woke up crying."
"Aww… I didn't know that you cried, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth cooed.
Percy just smiled.
"This was when we starting dating." Percy explained.
The page read: Found what I was looking for. It's a wonderful feeling to be whole and happy.
"Annabeth, these dreams all related to you, and I think…
…I think you're the one I've book looking for…
…You complete me in every way, and always manage to get through to my heart…
…I don't think I could live a single day without you in my life."
Annabeth looked at him with those gorgeous grey eyes.
"Oh come here Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth exclaimed as she hugged him on the sand. She started tearing up, and Percy traced little circles on her back.
"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to make you cry…" Percy stuttered.
"You're silly, you know that? They're tears of joy…" Annabeth whispered.
The moon was bright tonight, and the waves made a very soothing sound as it washed on the beach, like white noise, but softer.
"I love you, Seaweed Brain."
"I love you… Wise Girl."
"Wise Girl?" Annabeth chuckled.
"What? It's good pet name!" Percy laughed along with her.
"It's a good thing you're cute." Annabeth said. "And you're mine."
"I'm yours, and you're mine." Percy replied.
They woke up in the morning, being poked by Nico with a stick.
"Hey guys, we've looked all over for you!" Nico said in a hushed voice.
It was the only thing he could say before he was chased down the beach by a very angry son of Poseidon and a slightly amused daughter of Athena.

Dedicated to my girl.
