RICK RIORDAN OWNS PJATO, AND I OWN A LAPTOP.


So thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far! It's appreciated! For those of you who have been reading my other story, life forever after, I'll most likely be rounding that story off :(

Please review! :)


Also, this is right after Jason, Piper and Leo come back from their quest. I know in the book it says that Thalia wasn't there, but i wanted to add her :)


Annabeth POV:

"So you're saying that he's…?" I asked.

"At the other camp?" Jason said. "Yes. And he probably has no idea who he is."

I heard whispers from around the ping pong table. I felt Thalia's hand rub my back, obviously noticing that what Jason had said hit me like a ton of bricks.

I tried to hold back my tears. "I want to go." I said. "I'm going with you all in the Argo II." I announced, my voice cracking.

"So am I." Thalia said, immediately standing up. "I am requesting to join this search for the Roman camp and Percy Jackson." She said. "Anyone disagree?" She asked, opening Aegis, making everyone cringe.

"That's what I thought." She said, tapping Aegis, and getting it to close again.

"So, when are we going to start building?" Leo asked. "I'm wanting to start working…like now." He said.

"Sounds like a plan!" Travis and Connor Stoll both said.

A bunch of people left to go work on the ship, leaving me, Thalia, Nico, and Clarisse sitting at the table. I took out a small picture of Percy and I that was taken early in the morning on his 17th birthday.

(flashbaaaaaaaack)

"Percy!" I shouted as knocked on his door at around 5:15 am.

I could still hear him snoring, so I walked into his cabin, and saw him laying with his face in his pillow, all the blankets kicked off and one leg hanging off his bed.

I poked him. "Seaweed brain." I whispered. Nothing. "PERCY!" I shouted.

He rolled over as if I had barely whispered something.

"Hey!" I he said half asleep, but still with a smile on his face as he yawned.

"Hi, birthday boy." I smiled, climbing in his bed next to him. I was still in my pyjamas, a sweatshirt that coincidentally belonged to Percy and, and a pair of shorts from PINK.

"It's my birthday today!" Percy said, grinning like the goof he was. "Which means, I'm a year older than youuuuu!" He sang, loudly I might add.

"Shut it Kelp face." I said, laughing.

Percy and I laughed for a few more minutes, until Clarisse barged in.

"PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE CLOTHES ON!" She yelled.

I sat up quickly. "What?" I asked. "Of course I do!" I yelped. Percy just snickered like an idiot.

"Okay." Clarisse breathed, as if she had just dodged a bullet. "Everyone in cabin five can hear you two giggle like a bunch of middle school girls." She grunted. "Turn it down, or else I'll have to make you be quiet." She said, turning on her heel as she left the cabin.

I sank under the covers, and started laughing hysterically. Percy's hand took mine, and pulled me out of his bed.

"Let's go see if the harpies will give me a birthday cupcake." He smiled.

"Alright." I laughed, knowing that it wouldn't happen.

When we got to the pavilion, I managed to talk a nymph into a blue cupcake from the harpies.

I handed it to Percy, who looked at the cupcake like it was a present on Christmas day.

"Don't eat it yet!" I told him. "Let me find Avery! She has a candle!" I said, quickly sprinting to my cabin, yanking Avery out of bed. She took her camera with her, because she mumbled something like 'You better remember waking your favorite sister up at the butt crack of dawn'

I put the candle in the cupcake, and handed it back to Percy. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and whispered 'Happy birthday' in his ear, as Avery took the picture.

(end flashbaaaaack)

"He's going to remember you, y'know." Nico told me.

"How do you know that Nico?" I asked. "He could be completely clueless like Jason was, not remembering anyone." I sniffled.

"You make him mortal." He said, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms.

"I- what?" I asked. "How do I keep him mortal?"

"When he bathed in the Styx." Nico said simply. "He told me."

"Told you what?" Thalia demanded.

"When you bathe in the Styx, you have to focus on the area you want to keep mortal, right?" Nico started. "And sometimes, you lose focus of what you're doing." He said. "And when that happens, the most important person or thing in your life will remind you why you have to stay mortal, because you, or them, or both of you wouldn't be able to live without each other." He told us.

"Yeah, so?" Clarisse asked.

"When Percy was in the Styx, he told me how he almost lost focus and died." He told us. "He said people flashed by, like his mom, Tyson, Grover, his dad." He said. "But then he said Annabeth appeared, and she told him that he had to stay mortal or something. Annabeth is the most important thing to Percy, the person that grounds him to his mortal being." He said, looking at me.

"He never told me that." I whispered. "I mean, he told me where his weak spot is, but he didn't ever tell me about that." I said, fiddling with the picture in my hand.

"That's because he's to oblivious to realize it." Clarisse snorted. "Trust me."

"But how do you know he'll remember me?" I asked Nico.

"Well, I mean it's just a hunch I have." Nico told me shrugging his shoulders. "I'd be a little surprised if he immediately remembered everything you two had, but I'm sure he'll at least recognize you."

"Since when are you so helpful, dead head?" Thalia asked Nico, who just scowled at her.


There you go :)
