A/N: Thanks to everyone who posted their opinions on who should go on the quest! I decided on Hazel and Dakota.

Today's Percy's book birthday! Happy birthday, Percy!

This is my last chapter :'( I'm thinking of doing a sequel called Gaea's Revenge, but I'm not sure yet. Let me know what you think!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's read, favourited, and/or reviewed my story! You guys were my inspiration to keep writing!

My final Disclaimer for this story: I am not Rick Riordan, and I do not own any of the books or characters.

When Percy & I surfaced, we saw Jason and Piper kissing. Percy wolf-whistled, and I smacked him. Boys.

We swam back to the shore, and I thought it best to warn the couple about curfew.

"Hey, um, guys? Curfew's in 10 minutes!" I called as I waded ashore, and they sprang apart. Percy smirked and looked down. I grabbed his hand and we ran to the Argo II.

As soon as he saw it, Percy's jaw dropped. I giggled.

"Hey Percy, you could catch Stympilian birds with that mouth. You look constipated too," I smirked as he blushed.

"Sorry," He said, looking down. "It's just… so freakin' awesome!" I nodded and looked over my shoulder. Piper and Jason were running to catch up with us.

"Hey," Piper greeted us. "So, Percy, you like the Argo?"

"It's awesome! Wait, is that the Bronze Dragon's head?" Percy asked me.

"Yes… long story… Piper?" I asked.

"Okay… um, Leo found him in the forest and named him Festus, which means happy in Latin, and fixed him up so we could use him as transportation on our quest. And he broke down around halfway…" Piper explained.

Percy grinned crookedly. "Did you notice that one of his talons was missing?" he asked, and I smiled.

"No… why?" Jason asked him, bewildered.

"Well… I kinda sliced off his toe to stop him from killing my friends and I… really long story," He said quickly. Piper looked at me like, Is there anything you didn't do? I shrugged at her. I really don't know.

"Wait here," I told him, and ran inside.

8 minutes later, I had packed a small duffel bag and was walking to the Minerva Cabin with Percy. He dropped me off at the door and gave me a quick kiss goodbye.

"Night. Wise Girl," He whispered in my ear and sprinted off. I opened the door and saw everyone stare at me. Reyna, the girl at the war council meeting, spoke first.

"Hello, Annabeth. If you didn't notice, its curfew," She snapped, and then sighed. "That bed there is yours for the night."

"Thank you, Reyna," I said, and promptly got changed and went to bed, although I couldn't get to sleep that easily.

Next morning found Jason, Piper, Leo, Percy, Dakota, Frank, Bobby, Hazel, Gwen, Reyna and I sitting in the War Council room with Lupa.

"It is decided. Hazel, you and Dakota shall go on the quest. Bobby, Reyna, Frank and Gwen, you are dismissed," She announced. Now we had the seven.

"Thank you, Lupa," Dakota and Hazel said, bowing.

"Prepare and pack, for you will be leaving at midday to go to the Greek Camp, and then onwards to Greece," She said.

We all bowed and left.

After the council meeting, I decided I should give the book to the Mercury kids before we go onto the quest. I packed and got settled back into the ship for the quest first, though. I grabbed the book and found Percy.

"Hey. The Stoll brothers gave me a book that I'm supposed to deliver to the Mercury kids. Wanna come?" I asked. He nodded and grabbed my hand and together we walked to the Mercury Cabin.

When we knocked on the door, Dakota answered.

"Hey, guys. What's up?" He asked us. I showed him the book.

"Travis and Connor Stoll, your half brothers, gave this to me to give to you. They said that this is to pass their "awesomeness"," I made quotation marks in the air, and rolled my eyes. "To you." Dakota smirked.

"Okay. We're always looking for new pranks! Wait a sec," He said and retreated into the cabin. 27 seconds later, the lock was opened. "Come on in."

We stepped over the threshold and stood behind Dakota. He opened the book randomly and landed on a page titled 'The Golden Mango' I saw the title and snickered. So did Percy. Dakota smiled and laughed.

"Hey dudes, come 'ere! These guys were awesome!" He called, hooting. The Mercury bunch crowded around and laughed.

"Hey Percy, remember the curses the Aphrodite campers put on them?" I snickered, pointing at the photos that accompanied the warning. "Warning: The Aphrodites will curse you to look like idiots."

We snickered and left the Mercury campers to themselves.

At 5:00 sharp, we were set to leave for Camp Half-Blood. All of the Roman Camp came to say goodbye to us, including Lupa. After large amounts of hugging and goodbyes (mostly to Jason, Hazel and Dakota) Lupa called us over.

"Goodbye, pups. May the gods be with you." She said, bowing, we all bowed back. We climbed aboard the Argo, and set sail. We all waved until we could see the Camp no more. As Percy came and wrapped his arm around me, I wondered if I would ever see this Camp again, and if any of my new found friends would die. This is nothing like Kronos. This is much, much worse. The whole world might die if we lose.

And then again, maybe we could save the world. And Hades knows we would fight to our last breath to stop Gaea. Because, as Lupa had said, the gods may be with us. After all, we are doing this to save civilization.

"Time to save the world," Percy whispered in my ear. I smiled and intertwined our fingers.

"It's time," I agreed.

Please give a final review, and let me know if I should do a sequel! Thanks again,
