Hey, sorry for the wait i've actually had theis written for a while, but i was undecided if it was finished or if i should add more to the chapter. So again, sorry for the wait. And to all who reviewed, Thanks for all the good things you've said and the advice and ideas you've given me.

After Annabeth is examined at the local hospital (the doctor saying she has to stay in a cast for three months) Percy's aunt drives them back to Manhattan, with Annabeth muttering under her breath the whole time ("Three whole months?! What am I supposed to do for three months!?"). After a while they arrive at the Jackson's apartment building. Percy immediately jumps out of the car and turns around to help Annabeth out, but she's struggling out herself.

"Come here, let me help."

"I am perfectly capable."

"Your gonna fall."

She steps out but one of her crutches gets stuck on the curb and she falls. Before she hit's the ground though, Percy catches her, pulling her up to the sidewalk.

"I told you so."

"Shut up, Seaweed Brain…"

"I don't know why you have to be so stubborn. Let me help you."

Hesitantly, she agrees, and with Percy's help, they make their way up to the third floor, and open the apartment door.

"Mom?"

Sally comes running out squeezing them in a bear hug.

"Oh your alright!"

"We're alive. Annabeth has a broken ankle though. Aunt Susana took us to the hospital."

"Oh! Come sit down Annabeth!"

"Ok, Ok…"

"Here, I'll message your dad, Wise Girl."

"Thanks."

Percy walks into his room and opens the window to the fire escape. He grabs the hose to make the mist and throws in a drachma.

"O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering. Connect me to Fredrick Chase, Los Angeles, California."

After a few seconds, the mist shimmers, showing Mr. Chase worriedly sitting in his living room with his wife.

"Mr. Chase, Mrs. Chase?"

Dr. Chase turns around, seemingly not recognizing Percy.

"Ummm, I'm Percy Jackson, Annabeth's friend?"

"Of course, of course. Is she okay? Are you okay? What happened? Who won? I don't know why I didn't recognize you…"

"Yeah, Annabeth's fine, so am I. She was worse, but I got her cleaned up. Now she just has some cuts, bruises, a few deeper gashes but those are wrapped up, and a broken ankle. There was just a really long battle that took a few hours. We won, the Titians are back in their prisons. And the half-bloods that betrayed us are either all, er, dead, or in prisons as well. All the others are already back at camp."

"Then why aren't you at camp? Where are you anyways?"

"We're at my apartment. We're not at camp because Annabeth was missing and Chiron thought she was dead and we were all going back to camp, but I wouldn't leave without Annabeth. I knew she wasn't dead, she was lost and hurt and I needed to find her. So I went looking, found her, went to my aunt's, who took was to the hospital and then here."

"I see, I see. Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me. I care about Annabeth. A whole lot. More than you can even begin to imagine. So, uh….yeah…"

"I still thank you. Where is she now?"

"My living room. My mom has her resting. I'm going to try to get her to stay here until she's healed, but we all know how stubborn she is."

"Yes, takes after her mother," he mutters, "do mind if my wife and sons come to visit?"

"Not at all. And my mother and Paul already think of her as family, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind."

"Thank you. We'll get the earliest flight we can. Goodbye Percy, see you soon. "

"See you, sir."

Percy waves his hand through the mist and the message disconnects. As he's walking back to the living room, he says,

"Hey, Wise Girl. Your dad and family are coming down to see you."

"Alright..*Yawn*…What'd he say?"

"Get some sleep. He's catching the earliest plane he can."

"Kay *yawn* Night, Seaweed brain…" she falls asleep, and Percy picks her up putting her on his bed. After grabbing a blanket and a pillow he headed toward the living room, again. He lies on the couch and falls asleep, with a smile on his face.

The next day Percy wakes up to an Iris message from Chiron saying,

"Percy, get Annabeth and come down to camp. We're doing burials today. And we want a few people to talk, you two included."

"Alright, I'll wake her up."

"I'll see you two soon" and he disconnects the message. He sighs and, forgetting he has no shirt on, walks through the apartment door. Percy walks down the hall a bit, four doors down, and knocks on the door. A woman, a few years older than his mother, opens the door as he yawns.

"Oh! Hello Percy, um, what can I do for you?"

"Uhhh, is Marcy Home?"

"Yes, why? And why, may I ask, do you not have a shirt on?"

"Huh? Oh, I just woke up….didn't notice. Must've taken it off during the night. And my friend is here and she doesn't have any clothes to wear, and we have to go to a funeral as soon as possible. I was wondering if she could borrow some…"

As he says this, Annabeth stumbles out the door, on her crutches, looking around.

"Gods, there you are! I was looking for you! What are doing?"

"Come here Wise Girl, I was just getting you some clothes to wear to the funeral."

"Percy every time I come over, I just wear the same clothes 'till we can get to camp."

"But that has to be uncomfortable!"

She shrugs and stumbles over closer to him, and glares at him.

"It isn't. But you know I don't like being a bother. You are such a Seaweed Brain!"

The woman, Maggie, says,

"You won't be a bother dear. Macy! Come here sweetheart!"

A girl around their age walks into the living room, tall, tan, brunette with blue eyes walks out. Percy says,

"Wise Girl, this is Macy, a friend I met at school. Macy, this is Annabeth. Do you mind if Annabeth borrows some clothes? We've got a funeral to get to."

"Percy!"

"Naw, I don't mind. Come on in. I think I got something that will fit you."

As the two girls walk into the hall, Annabeth turns around, tossing something to Percy.

"Thought you might want this, Seaweed Brain."

He catches his shirt,

"Thanks, Wise Girl."

Um, i don't know how many people caught this, but one of my friends thought it a good way to end so i took her adivce. Percy is saying thanks not only for his shirt, but for everthing she's done for him in the past and everythings she's going to do for him in the future. So yeah...so if anybody caught that, i did my job, if not i've just got to work harder.
