AN: I own nothing!!! You guys are lucky I got fell a lot skiing yesterday, because I am typing this because I am exempt from skiing today due to soreness!
Blackjack flapped his wings in a perfect rhythm on the way back to camp. Annabeth quickly fell asleep and Percy followed soon after. They awoke to the sounds of campers shouting as Blackjack landed in the middle of camp. Chiron helped them off the flying horse.
"Percy, Annabeth, you're safe!" He exclaimed
"Yeah." Percy replied "Apollo is taking the hunters to Artemis. They're lucky she was at Olympus"
"You two probably need a rest." Chiron sighed. "Percy when you are ready see me at the big house." Percy nodded and started walking Annabeth to her cabin. They were halfway there when she collapsed due to exhaustion. Percy picked her up and walked her back Poseidon cabin. He set her down on the bed and went and sat down in a chair. He started thinking about the Tower and Prometheus, before he dozed off. When he woke up it was getting dark so he shook Annabeth and got her to dinner. On the way there, they were greeted by Grover and Juniper.
"Hey guys!" Grover said
"We're glad you're back safely" Juniper said
"Thanks" Annabeth said smiling weakly. "I'm glad Percy was there. He and Nico saved Me and the Hunters." Percy blushed
"Good, but we've got something to tell you" Grover said, blushing more than Percy
"We're getting married!" Juniper said. Annabeth ran and hugged Juniper while Percy shook Grover's hand.
"Congrats, man" Percy said
"Thanks" Grover said. Annabeth and Juniper walked off towards the dining pavilion leaving Percy and Grover there.
"When's the date?" Percy asked
"July" Grover managed. "Let's get going, I don't want to miss dinner" Annabeth and Juniper talked furiously throughout dinner. After dinner, Chiron Beckoned Percy towards the main table.
"Percy" Chiron said "You're father has summoned you to his main forge, just off the coast"
"Great!" Percy said "When do I leave?"
"Tomorrow, if you'd like" Chiron said "But there is another thing" He sighed before saying "It involves getting the trident, which, even for your father, may be difficult to get."
"Percy!" Annabeth called "we're all going down to the beach! C'mon!"
"Percy, you should pack fairly heavily, it may take a long time to get the Trident" Chiron whispered. "Go catch up to your friends" Percy ran to Annabeth.
"What was that all about?" Annabeth asked
"Getting the Trident" Percy said. Annabeth didn't say another word. They walked hand in hand to catch up to Juniper and Grover, who were walking down the beach. Percy was half-dreading the Journey to his father's forges. He wanted to stay close to Annabeth, but he had to go alone. He wanted nothing more than to make these moments last a lifetime.
