PursuingDesign: Why thank you. I wasn't actually trying to make it funny, but I guess the funniest things are unintentional :)

Now that the ship was finished, all I could feel was happiness. I would see Percy within the week. I would get my life back. He would remember me.

The Hermes Cabin plus some campers from Ares, Apollo, and Hephaestus Cabins were moving the furniture in. Some cabins worked on particular areas; for instance the Demeter Cabin was making food and getting the kitchen ready. Athena Cabin was stocking the library, and some Ares campers were stocking the Armory. A few campers from Hephaestus Cabin were hooking everything up, and some of Apollo's kids were setting up a practicing arena with straw dummies and bulls-eyes. Aphrodite's kids were overseeing everything. We had decided this after the first camper picked up a lamp and screamed "Oh my gods! My nail polish chipped!"

During break, the Stoll brothers came over to me. Travis had a huge leather-bound book tucked under his arm.

"Hey, Annabeth! See any spiders lately?" Conner asked, smirking evilly. The Stoll's last prank was filling the Athena Cabin with fake spiders. Really funny, apparently to them.

"Nope. And I better not," I threatened. "Remember, Athena always has a plan."

"Yeah, whatever," Travis rolled his eyes. "We just wanted to ask you a favor."

I sighed. "What is it?" I asked.

Travis showed me the book. It read The Ultimate Pranksters' Guide to Pranking and had a heavy padlock keeping it locked.

"Could you give this to the Mercury kids? We want to pass our awesomeness on to the Romans," he asked.

"Sure," I said, smiling slightly.

"Thanks!" they said, and sauntered off to annoy someone else.

And by the time the conch shell blew for dinner, the Argo II was ready to set sail. I was bursting with happiness.

Chiron stood up for announcements during dinner. He pounded a hoof on the ground to get our attention.

"Hello, campers. I have some important news to tell you," He said, and paused for a second. "The Argo II is finished and ready to set sail." Everyone started cheering. Over at the Hephaestus table, Leo's siblings were pounding him on the back. Chiron cleared his throat to recapture our attention.

"We will have a test drive to make sure it works faultlessly for the upcoming quest at 9 p.m. tonight. If that goes well, Jason, Leo, Piper, and Annabeth will set sail in the morning," Chiron announced. "Now I would like to thank the Counselor for the Hephaestus Cabin, Leo Valdez, for organizing this project and tirelessly working on it."

The cheering erupted again, and Leo was lifted onto his siblings' shoulders and carried around the dining pavilion. He was doing a poor Elvis impression.

"Thank you, thank you very much," He said. I smiled. Just like old times.

I was back in my cabin, packing for the quest. The test had gone flawlessly, everything working perfectly. We were to set sail at 7 a.m. the following morning. I had already packed the essentials (my Yankees cap, my knife, nectar, and ambrosia). I was deciding on clothes. Normally, I didn't give a Hydra about what I wore, but I was seeing Percy for the first time in over 6 months… I'll admit I kind of wanted to impress him. Just a little. I decided on just my regular clothes, like for instance, my camp T-shirts and shorts. The ones that were slightly nicer than my other clothes. No big. On a whim, I also decided to pack the photographs that I had tacked up on my wall of Percy and I: to show him, and help him remember the old times.

I fell asleep, fully clothed after packing.

Morning came, and it was time to embark on our quest. I had managed to Iris Message my friends. Tyson wished me good luck, but couldn't come see me off. Nico, Thalia and Grover could, though. At 6:45, they met me in front of the Argo II.

"As soon as you find him, IM me and I'll make Nico take Grover and I to meet you guys," Thalia said as she hugged me.

"Sure. Make me do all the work," Nico complained to Thalia as he went to hug me.

"'Kay, Zombie Dude," Thalia grinned mischievously over Jason's shoulder, and Nico shook his head in exasperation.

"Have a good trip, Annabeth," Grover said when he hugged me.

"Bye, guys!" I called as I boarded the ship.

"Bye!" They chorused.

And the last thing I saw of Camp Half-Blood was the campers grinning and waving goodbye at us.

Before bed, we all sat in the kitchen, drinking the smuggled Cokes.

We said the standard "To the gods!"

"I have another toast," I said, and everyone froze, even Leo who obviously didn't want to.

"To friends," I said. "The people who are by your side no matter what, and help you get through everything from fighting monsters to formal sit-down dinners with the family. The people that you can call a second family." And we toasted to that.

"I'd almost forgot how good real Coca-Cola tastes," Jason commented after taking a sip. "How'd you get this?"

"Hermes cabin and smuggling."

"Of course," Jason laughed.

And after a considerable amount of talking and laughing, we went to go to sleep.

When I woke up and rubbed my eyes, I found Piper's pink and brown bed to be made up and empty. I'm pretty sure I knew where she was and whom she was with. I grinned and got changed.

I was right. As soon as I entered the kitchen, I found two teenage demigods kissing feverishly. I walked over to the cereal cabinet and purposely yawned loudly. Piper and Jason sprung apart.

"Morning," I greeted them, smirking widely. Both demigods glared at me.

"Good Morning, Annabeth," Piper said grumpily. I laughed.

"I'll just grab a bowl of cereal and leave you be," I told her. "But you might want to relocate somewhere else. Leo will be up soon."

"Thanks," Piper said grudgingly.

I grabbed my hurriedly breakfast and went out of the kitchen.

After eating my breakfast, I brushed my teeth and finished getting ready. I then ran to the practice arena to practice my sword fighting skills.

I found Leo in there, practicing with one of the swords from the armory.

"Hey, Leo," I called and began disemboweling a dummy in 5 seconds flat.

"Hey- whoa, how'd you do that so fast?" he asked.

"I don't know how, exactly," I answered. "I can show you, though."

"Sure," Leo said. I began to show him some tricks on my dummy, and he tried to mirror me on his. He wasn't bad after he got the hang of it.

"Percy's a better sword fighter than I am. You should practice with him on our way back," I told him.

"I thought you said you were better than him?" Leo said, confused.

"I am with my knife," I said, grinning. "Sometimes with a sword I have to "cheat" as he calls it."

Leo raised an eyebrow coyly, and I burst out in laughter.

We slashed and hacked until I said it was probably safe to go and talk to Jason and Piper.

"Did you walk in on them?" Leo asked, smiling mischievously.

"Uh huh. I got all the way to the cereal cupboard and had to yawn loudly before they noticed me," I said, smirking. "I let them off with only minimal teasing, though."

"Because you know the feeling?" I punched Leo on the arm.

"I'll take that as a yes," he smirked. "Ow!"

The morning passed quickly, and so did the afternoon. Leo did most of the steering, but Piper, Jason & I helped a bit. Jason had said we should be at the camp by the 5th of June, so that meant there was roughly about 2 days and 13 hours until I would see Percy again. Not that I'm counting. I'm not. Really.

The next day came without a sign of any monsters. I decided to IM Mrs. Jackson, to tell her the news. I feel kind of guilty that I didn't call her sooner. She's probably in hysterics now, not knowing if her son is alive or not!

I went to the IM'ing room and tossed a drachma into the fountain.

"O Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, accept my offering," I said

"Sally Jackson, Manhattan."

An image appeared in the mist. It was Sally, sitting at the table, drinking wine with Paul.

"Sally!" I called, and she turned to see me. She was startled at first, but soon broke into a smile.

"Why hello, Annabeth! It's good to see you, dear!" She greeted me warmly. "Any news about Percy?"

I went on to explain about Roman demigods, and how Hera had switched Jason with Percy and brought him to the Roman camp. When I got to the part about him losing his memory, Sally's eyes watered up. Paul reached over and took her hand. I explained that we knew he was getting his memory back.

"And Jason, Piper and I are sailing to the Roman camp now to go find him. We'll find him and bring him back to New York for a few days, so you can see him," I finished.

"Thanks so much, honey. I'm glad that Percy has you," She sniffled, though she was smiling.

"You're welcome, Sally. I should probably get back to the others. They'll be wondering where I am."

"Okay, honey. Goodbye, Annabeth," She said, and swiped her hand through the connection.

I fell asleep quickly that night, and for once, I had didn't have any dreams.

When I woke up, I realized we would be at the Roman camp in just over 24 hours. But those hours passed very, very slowly. I almost couldn't wait to sleep to help pass time. But when I got to sleep, it wasn't as peaceful as last night. Partially because I had a dream. And partially because it was with Percy.

I couldn't see anything in the misty grove that my dream was set in. Not even myself. Then a voice spoke.

"What in the name of-" I cut him off.

"Percy?' I asked.

"Wise Girl? Where are you?"

"We can't see each other, Percy."

'I knew that."

"Sure you did."

There was a pause.

"percy, we're going to arrive at your camp at 9'oclock today. Can you ask Lupa if she can wait for us in your Council room?" I asked.

"Sure, but she's gonna think that you might attack the Romans."

" I swear upon the River Styx that we will not attack the Romans unless they attack us first."

"Okay, Wise Girl," He said. I knew he was smiling.

The dream started to fade slowly.

"Percy, I have to go. Tell Lupa, ok? I'll see you soon," I told him.

The last thing I heard was Percy saying, "I'll be waiting with my arms open, Wise Girl." And the dream ended with a silver owl in a tree hooting.

When I woke up, I was feeling very excited. And almost as twitchy as Leo.

As I leant against the railing on the upper deck and was watching the land below me, I heard footsteps approaching me.

"This feels kind of weird," Jason commented.

"I know, but it won't be once you see your friends, and I see Percy."

"I guess not."

And that was the last conversation I had until we got to the Roman Camp.

R&R! Roman Camp next chapter, plus the revealing of the two other demigods!
