I own nothing

Sorry for the long wait

When we got back our troops were starting to get anxious, you could tell by the way none of them sat down or took of any of their armor.

"Romans, Greeks, lend me your ears" I shouted to get the attention of both sides.

"We are going to work together to take down the earth goddess Gaea, to do so for the next two weeks both sides will train together so that we can learn each other are fighting styles. Many of you know how dangerous this is, and we know your concern you don't trust one another. We will have to change that or we'll lose this war learn to work together even if you don't like each other. The whole world is counting on us to put aside our differences and safe them" I told both sides

"As far as sleeping arrangements goes the Greeks will form a command post near the beach head they have as much room as they need. Starting tomorrow we will have war games every evening. Tomorrow it will be simply Greeks against romans then it will be intermeshed. Daily routines have been changed a little no more free time we'll have plenty of time on the ride to Rome, instead, there will be Greek teaching romans their style of fighting separately, and Romans teaching the Greeks to fight as a unit so that we will be know how each other fights. Their weaknesses will be our strength and ours theirs, Dismissed return and prepare for tomorrow, because that's when the real training begins" Reyna finished

"I'm going to go with the romans and get caught up if you don't mind" Jason told Annabeth

"Of course" Annabeth responded immediately.

When a walked on the ship I was swarmed by a swarm of my friends asking questions.

"Yes I lost my Curse of Achilles ,Annabeth, No you can't steal from the chariot dealer, Travis, Yes they have a good fighting style, Clarisse" the list when on and on until finally I said "Enough for now we need to get this beachhead established and your gear put away" I told them

With that they dispersed and started grabbing gear. I was smiling like an idiot because it was so funny. If you've never seen demigods unloading a shipload of gear then you're missing out there was curses, swearing, and pushing one another. But there was a buzz about the ship, they were fighting romans tomorrow, this would get interesting.

Annabeth and I went to the beach once the guys started unpacking our gear. As soon as we were there she started hugging me fiercely and

"I missed you so much Seaweed Brain" she told me.

"You have no idea how much I missed you WiseGirl, when I first woke up the only thing I could remember was your face and name" I told her as we sat down

"You think they'll be able to work together?" she asked me

"I don't know, it's a long shot in the dark, I know for a fact that they think Greeks are scum, but I would probably think the same thing of them if I had never met them, but now it's like their family" I told her

"Well I don't really know what to think of them but I think there's going to be a problem with Octavian he seems to know how to start an argument, and we have some short fuses on board if you know what I mean" she replied

"I think he a backstabber to the Romans as well, one of our former centurions Gwen was stabbed in the back with a pilum, Frank, Hazel and I pulled it out and frank said it belonged to the first legion and Octavian was the only one missing one" I told her

Her eyes grew wide "You think he's working for Gaea?" she asked ever since Luke she's had this thing about people stabbing her in the back

"Don't know he hates me though he wanted preatorship, and I took it from him" I said with a grin

"We'll have to keep an eye on him" she said

"Come on we better get back and see how thing are going back at camp" I said

As we walked back we started hearing yelling and screaming coming from a few people. We started sprinting to see what was going on. When we got there we were met by a weary scene. About ten Romans were about to get in a fight with the Ares cabin, I could see that Clarisse was trying to keep her temper but I knew it wouldn't last. I saw Jason coming towards them to, so maybe we would be able to diffuse this rather easily.

"What the Pluto is going on?" I asked as soon as I reached them

"She tried to attack us" a kid from the First Cohort shouted

"Like Hades I did, if had attacked you be here right now" Clarisse shot back

"Both of you shut up, now tell us what happened calmly" Jason said

"I was walking to the beach to see if they needed any help, spoke to someone from the Minerva cabin start to leave when I was hit in the back by this bitch" he said

"Clarisse your turn" I said

"I was on the ship below deck until I heard the commotion outside, stepped outside then got accused of attacking someone I don't even know" she said through gritted teeth

"Anybody else see what happened" Jason asked

"Yea I did" some kid from the Hermes cabin said

"And?" I pressed

"Well, you see, I was trying out my new javelin and sort of caught her in the back" he said with a blush he was young so it may have been an accident

"Then why was Clarisse brought into this?" Jason asked

"Well, it was kinda her Javelin" he said

"I thought you said, never mind, Clarisse feel free to kick his ass for stealing your javelin, now are you alright Justin" I fanlly recognized him, he was a good kid but had a short temper but was easily cooled of.

"Yea, jus pissed me of little though but as long as it was an accident then I'm good, no hard feelings" He held his hand out to Clarisse

"Yea no problem, but I sure as hell aunt no bitch" she said shaking his hand.

"Well lets go our separate ways and get ready for tomorrow we have a long day ahead of us" Jason said

For the time being Jason and I would stay where we were before today that way we will still have a connection with our current sides. The only difference was that Annabeth was going to be able to stay with me in the Praetor cabin, we still had a lot of catching up to do, but I dicided to run it by Reyna first.

"Hey Reyna would you object to me letting Annabeth stay in my cabin with me?" I asked her

"Will there be anything going on that I will need to know about?" she replied

"No just catching up and trying to figure out how to ease the tensions between the two camps" I told

"Then its fine just be careful" she said.

With that I went to get Annabeth when I found her I told her the details and she quickly agreed. We went to my cabin and talked to one another for about an hour telling one another about our adventures while the other was away.

"So tell me about this quest for death" she said

"Well to put it in short terms because its way to long to tell, we went and found Phineas, gambled with my life against him for the location of Death, Met Reyna's sister queen of the amazons she hated me, fight for Frank to defend him from cannibals, went to Alaska got attacked by griffins, fought against a ghost legion and found the legions standard, came back and beat Polybotes and was named Praetor" I told her

"Wow" she said with a yawn

Come on lets go to bed I told her. We both slept in my bed it was a king so there was plenty of room. I was in my pajamas, and camp Jupiter shirt, and she was in her Camp Half-Blood shirt and pajamas. I closed my eyes and slowly went to sleep smiling; man I had missed this girl.
