Chapter 3

It was like all time had just stopped. Everyone was just there, watching. Percy stood. Annabeth stood. Then they ran. They crashed into each other, in a tight embrace, in an epic and necessary liplock. The children of Aphrodite and Venus sighed in unison, with adoration evident in their eyes. At last, the two drew back and breathed in the air.

"Percy! Oh my gods! I've missed you so much!" Annabeth wrapped Percy into a snake-like grip and buried her face into his chest.

Percy returned the tight hug. "Annabeth. The whole time my memory was missing, all I could remember was you. You and you only. I love you so much."

"Percy! Don't ever do that to me again! I was worried sick about you! You tell me you love me and then disappear!" Annabeth was ranting, letting out all the emotions that she had held in throughout those eight months pour out relentlessly.

"Annabeth. I'll always be here for you." Percy buried his face into her blonde hair. It smelled just like it always had - like a fragrant mix of freesia and vervain. He inhaled deeply - he had really missed the familiar scent of her.

"Thank the gods that you're safe," Annabeth said softly. "I was so worried."

"About what?" Percy said teasingly. "I'm Percy Jackson. Of course I'm okay."

Annabeth let go of Percy and instead punched him on the arm. "Don't get too cocky Seaweed Brain. I was worried that your big head would swell to enormous proportions and burst." She broke out into a grin.

Percy rolled his eyes. "Oh haha." He gently placed his hand under Annabeth's chin and guided it up. He lightly kissed her.

Travis and Connor whistled. "Guys, seriously, I know you missed each other, but get a room!" Many campers chortled.

Percy turned and glared at the Stoll brothers. "Shut up."

Travis and Connor both looked at each other for a second, then burst into peals of laughter. "Oh man, that's the Percy I remember!"

And, just for a moment in the hectic life of Perseus Jackson, he was at peace.
