Apparently, he was looking for me too. His eyes were scanning the crowd, and looking around for that familiar curly blond hair and startlingly gray eyes. When he found them though, he put on a classic Seaweed Brain face.
We kind of stared at each other for a minute or so. At first it was surprise, then shock, then oh-my-gods-(s)he's-really-here. And then we were staring at each other like we were drinking the other in. After a moment or so, he cleared his throat and grinned crookedly.
"Hey Wise Girl, I'm not going to stand her all-" He started to say, but that was when I ran and hugged him tightly. Because everyone was pretty occupied with Jason, I shut him up in the best and only possible way.
I kissed him.
It lasted about 4 seconds, but it was deep, loving, and passionate. And I loved every second of it.
After we broke apart, I buried my face in his shoulder.
"I missed you, Annabeth," He told me, smiling.
"I missed you too, you idiot."
I looked over my shoulder to see Leo doing an Aphrodite impression, and Piper was smacking him silly. Just like old times. I smiled happily.
"I'm sorry Hera screwed us over, Wise Girl," Percy said honestly. I pulled away from him and punched his arm. "Hey! Ow!" He protested.
"You're sorry? Sorry? I spent 8 whole days not knowing if you were alive or not! And then, I spend almost 4 and a half months knowing that you were in a place were you could be killed if they found out who you are, and that you probably didn't remember me! And you might've had another girlfriend! And then I have to wait another 3 weeks and 3 days until I get to see you! Hades, you must have really have pissed off Hera!" I ranted in one breath. I knew that Piper and Leo were probably wondering if I would try to kill him or not, and if they should prevent it.
"Isn't that your thing, Wise Girl?" He teased gently, and I hugged him tight again. He rubbed my back awkwardly, and I saw a pretty girl with dirty blond hair glaring at me resentfully. Probably Gwendolyn. Ha.
I saw Percy look over my shoulder and raise an eyebrow at what he saw. I bet 5 drachmas it was Leo, still playing Aphrodite.
"Sooooo, you going to introduce me to your weirdo friends?" he asked me.
I nodded and took his hand and led him over to where my friends stood.
Leo grinned mischievously when he saw us, and Piper rolled her eyes at his antics.
"Annabeth resurfaces!" Leo called, smirking.
"Hey, guys. This is Percy," I said. Leo held out his hand, and Percy shook it with the hand that wasn't holding mine.
"Yo. I'm Leo, Son of Hephaestus and a fire user," Leo said. As if he couldn't resist, he added, "And we already kinda figured you were Percy, 'cuz you were making out with Annabeth." Percy blushed, and Leo smirked. To get him out of this uncomfortable situation, Piper introduced herself.
"Hey. I'm Piper, Daughter of Aphrodite, and a charmspeaker," She said, shaking his hand.
"And you guys are part of the seven in the Second Great Prophecy?" He asked.
"Yup. I can blast people with fire, Jason Grace (the dude over there with all the fans) is a son of Zeus/Jupiter and he can turn baddies into fried monster bits, and Piper can make the monster dudes go "Pretty." and she chops them to pieces," Leo said. Percy raised an eyebrow, and then looked confused.
"Wait, his last name is Grace?" Percy asked.
"Yes," I answered. "Thalia is his full sister, except she's Greek and he's Roman." Percy nodded.
"If this is the Second Great Prophecy, what was the first?" Piper asked. Percy's face darkened.
"It was about the Second Titan War," I saved him. He shot me a grateful glance.
"Are you ever going to tell us about those insanely insane quests of yours?" Leo asked hopefully.
"Maybe later, but Thalia, Nico, and Grover need to be there too," I smiled.
"Why?" Piper asked.
"Because they were in some of our quests too," Percy said and gestured him and I, smiling crookedly. "And I want to see them again."
"Did you and Annabeth go on all of your quest together?" Leo asked, and Percy gripped my hand slightly tighter.
"All except one, which was to save me and Lady Artemis," I said, squeezing his hand.
"Whoa, you were kidnapped?" Leo asked, and I rolled my eyes.
"Do you ever shut up?" Percy asked him, laughing.
"Yes!" Leo said indignantly.
"No," Piper said, and punched Leo on the shoulder. Jason managed to disentangle himself from his friends, and walked over.
"Hey, guys," He said, stopping beside Piper. He looked at Percy. "Hey. I'm guessing you're the famous Percy that Annabeth keeps talking about."
Jason held out his hand, and Percy shook it. "I'm Jason, by the way. Jason Grace. But I bet this idiot," He said, gesturing to Leo while trying not to look intimidated by my evil glare, "Has already told you."
"Pretty much, and about everything else. Does he ever shut up?" Percy grinned.
"Not as far as I can tell," Jason smirked at a slightly hurt looking Leo.
And that was when Lupa barked (literally) for order.
"Silence. The Council meeting has begun."
R&R! :D
