This may or may not be my last MoA reunion... idk.

I dont own PJO.

I clutched a cup of hot chocolate in my hands. The cold breeze blew through my hair whipping it around my face as I leaned over the side of the Argo II, gazing down at the ground far below. In the distance, I could see Camp Jupiter through the mist.

No, it definitely wasn't a camp. A city would be more accurate. Camp Half Blood just looked like a bunch of poorly built shacks compared to this architectural marvel.

I was so nervous. I could say that there were butterflies in my stomach, but that would be a lie. To be more accurate, there were hellhounds and furies trapped in my stomach, clawing their way out unsuccessfully.

I jumped as Piper spoke behind me, "Are you trying to catch flies?" I scowled and quickly snapped my open mouth shut.

"Shut up," I mumbled. She smirked and leaned against the railing next to me. I took a sip from the warm mug in my hands, smiling a little.

"BEAUTY QUEEN!" I heard Leo scream. "I NEED YOU!" Piper rolled her eyes, and I sighed exasperatedly.

"Coming!" she called. She squeezed my arm once, then jogged to where ever Leo was. Jason came and took her place by me.

"You excited?" I asked him. He did look a little pale.

He laughed a bit. "Nervous would be a better term. I honestly don't know what they'll do. If Octavian took my place as praetor, we'll be blasted out of the sky for sure. But on the other hand, they might let us land, then kill us, saving the boat."

"Aren't you a bundle of laughs," I said.

He laughed nervously again, clutching the railing, white-knuckled. "Not that they would be able to use it. With all that crap Leo put on the dashboard and his crazy way of controlling this monstrosity, no one but him will be able to fly it."

I smiled a bit. "That's true," I said.

"What about you?" he asked after a moment of silence.

"What about me?"

"Are you scared?"

"...Terrified."

"Tell me about it," he muttered under his breath.

I sighed. "It's just... look, I couldn't care less about what happens to the quest. My top priority is seeing Percy alive. If he's not..." I trailed off, not even wanting to think about the possibility. "I wouldn't be able to go on," I said.

"You're just as cheery as me," he said. I punched him in the arm, then took another sip of the soothing liquid sloshing around in the cup I held.

"Deal with it," I said. He laughed, this time genuinely, not nervous. Camp Jupiter was drawing closer.

Just then, Leo and Piper came up from below deck. Leo's hair was smoking, and his face was smeared with soot. Piper had a couple of smoldering holes in her clothes.

"It wasn't me!" Piper said, throwing her hands up in the air.

"It wasn't me either!" Leo argued.

"Yeah right! Some Repair Boy you are!"

"I take offence to that!"

"Duly noted," Pipers said, crossing her arms and huffing. Jason and I rolled our eyes in unison. Camp Jupiter continued to creep up on us. Now I could see the individual buildings and the large crowd of people gathering below us.

"Uh, Leo?" Jason asked.

"Yeah, Bro?"

"Shouldn't you be steering?"

"Crap!" Leo scrambled back downstairs, and I leaned back against the railing. We sat in silence, interrupted only by Leo screaming downstairs, and Piper coming to lean against the railing by in between Jason and I.

"What's he like?" she asked.

"What?" Jason and I said together.

"Percy. What's he like?" she clarified. My heart was doing a small jig in my chest, and the furies and hellhounds doubled their efforts to free themselves from my stomach.

I smiled a bit, thinking about him.

"Well, for starters, his head is full of kelp, and sometimes when I talk to him it's like talking to a brick wall." Piper and Jason both laughed. I smiled wider, my memories with him shining like stars compared to the last few months. "But... sometimes... it's scary how perceptive he is. Most of the time I think he acts dumb. He's loyal, and brave, and one hell of a swordsman. He's quick on his feet. He's really one of a kind. Such a Seaweed Brain... my Seaweed Brain though. But I swear if you two ever tell him I said any of this, I will personally send you to Hades!"

Piper wiped at her eyes. "That is so sweet." I rolled my eyes and took another sip of hot chocolate. It wasn't really hot anymore, but that didn't matter. We were hovering directly over the camp now, and I could barely make out faces and clothes. We started our descent, and everyone scrambled into their positions.

I imagined Piper yelling at me for not washing my cup, and I grudgingly jogged downstairs to the galley. I put my cup in the sink after rinsing it, and caught a glimpse of myself in the oven.

I looked like hell. (No offence, Hades.)

My hair was windblown, going in every direction. There were dark circles under my wide almost-black eyes. Stormy grey would have been welcoming compared to these. My clothes were wrinkled, and my camp necklace was almost untied.

I quickly fixed myself; wrestling my hair into a messy pony tail, straightening my clothes, and retying my necklace. Whatever, I couldn't get much better.

Bump.

The ship lurched as we landed, and I scrambled up on deck. I heard Leo come in over the loudspeakers. "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen for riding Festus Express! Please descend to the ground slowly, we don't want anything broken! This is your captain, Leo, hope you enjoyed the ride!"

I rolled my eyes and jogged over to the side of the boat. There was a long pole from the deck going to the ground. It was one of those poles with the corkscrew around the outside so that you had to spin around to get anywhere. Great, I was wearing shorts.

Jason was already towards the bottom of the corkscrew, Piper following close behind. I was about to get on when I was pushed aside by Leo who yelled an apology and jumped onto the pole. I stood up, brushed myself off, and descended with as much dignity as I could muster.

My feet touched the ground, and I immediately scanned the crowd for Percy. I spotted him. He had his arms around two kids, a bulky asian guy that looked unusually cuddly, and a chocolate-skinned girl with gold hair and eyes. The two unfamiliar teens were watching Jason, while Percy's attention was fixed on me. Another girl stood nearby. She looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't think of where I might have seen her before. Her eyes were glued to Jason, who was talking.

It was only then that I noticed what Percy was wearing.

He was wearing his bedsheets. Then, I remembered something Jason told me about praetors and high-ranking officers wearing togas. I covered my mouth with my hand to keep from laughing. Percy raised an eyebrow, and it was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud.

The other girl, the familiar one, started speaking, but she trailed off when Percy sprinted towards me. I took a cautious step forward, not wanting the Romans to attack us. Percy was only ten feet away from me when...

He fell on his face.

He had tripped over his toga, and was now lying spread-eagle on the ground, groaning, unable to lift his head.

"So much for quick on his feet," Jason muttered, breaking the silence. I cracked up, unable to hold in my laughter. The two teens that had been with Percy earlier were holding back their laughter too.

Percy lifted his head, and squinted, focusing. Then, he grinned at me. There was a rock lodged between his teeth, which made me laugh until my sides felt like they were going to split, and tears were leaking out of the corners of my eyes.

He got up, brushed himself off, and walked carefully over to me, holding up his toga. He smiled at me, seemingly oblivious to the rock in his teeth.

I held my stomach, laughing. The Romans all had their hands on their weapon hilts, ready to attack. I reached up to Percy's face, and gently pulled the rock out of his teeth while he was smiling. He looked confused. I flicked it at his head, and it hit him square in the forehead.

A second later, he said, "Ow."

I laughed again. "Late reaction much, Seaweed Brain?" He grinned at me, then swept me up into a tight hug. I sighed into the crook of his neck, and breathed in deeply. He still smelled the same: fresh air and sea salt.

"I missed you," I said.

"I missed you too," he answered. My face screwed up.

"You remembered me?"

"I never forgot," he whispered. I breathed deeply again, holding back the tears of pure joy. He pulled away, and I felt confused. Then, he came back to kiss me. Time seemed to stop around us, and all I could think was, Percy.

I finally found him.

Oh, Percy. How uncoordinated art thou. anyway, Review please!
