I will end this story, but I will still give you guys a happy ending. This will be my last chapter and it just might be the longest.

Unfortunately, no one really convinced me to keep this story going, so I guess I'll just start writing one shots. It's just easier.

This is goodbye to this story and it has been fun writing. I have been really moved by some of your reviews and I just want to say thanks and that maybe will see each other again in another story.

I hope you like this last chapter, and it has been a good story for me, considering it was my first.

All credits go to Rick Riordan.

Piper

Days at Goode High went by in a flash. I had become very close friends with Annabeth's friends. Leo and I had that brother/sister relationship, only the annoying but still caring way. Percy and Annabeth became the brother and sister that I had never had. Frank and Hazel helped me out as good friends would have. Nico and Thalia taught me of the people to keep away from. Thalia even taught me some moves she had learned, using Nico as a punching bag(Not really).Boy did that come in handy.

Jason and I became close and even went on a date, which resulted to us becoming a couple. It took a while for people to stop looking at us like we came from another planet, but we got through it. It felt good to know that there was someone out there that cared and loved you. I knew that I had my dad who loved me, but it was reassuring to know that I had friends who cared for me.

There were plenty of good parts to this school, but there were still bad times. That included Reyna and her crew.

Thankfully I didn't have anymore trouble with Drew and her crew. The school year went by fast for me along with many others. We all had our up's and down's. That reminded me of the time Leo got his head stuck in the air vent.

~Flashback~

We had just came back from a pep rally at the auditorium when Leo piped up very loudly to let everyone hear.

"Hey guys, I just got an idea of an awesome prank!" he exclaimed

Everyone groaned. Last time that Leo came up with a prank, everyone had smelt of skunk and rotten eggs. It took weeks just for the smell to come out. Everyone started yelling at Leo, giving him the usual lecture every time he had an idea for a prank.

"Leo, not again!" complained Percy

"Yeah Leo. Remember last time?" Annabeth asked

"Can you ever think of a plan that doesn't have people running away from us?" Nico exclaimed

And so on. The only people who stayed quiet were Jason, Thalia, and I. We all knew that it wouldn't make a difference. Leo would just change his words around and end up still doing a stupid prank.

"No guys, this will be a good one. And I promise to leave all of you out of it. If it fails, I give you permission to laugh at me." Leo cut in

"Alright, fine Leo. But you should know we would still laugh at you with or without your permission." Thalia said with a small smirk.

"Thanks guys! I tell you, this will be the day." Leo said running off into the distance.

It was only a matter of time when Leo came running back to us later in the afternoon. He was covered in dirt and sweat. Water was dripping from his curly hair. What has this guy been up to? It scared me just thinking of all the possibilities. He waved his hand, motioning for us to follow and started running off again. Jason put an arm around my waist and sent me a smile that had me melting all in the inside. We started running, connected and inseparable.

When we reached where Leo had run to, I didn't see anything out of the normal except a big a mess of wires coming from an open air vent.

"What's this Leo" I asked him with confusion written all over all our faces.

Leo explanation took so long that I had started to lean onto Jason with his arm still around my waist, my eyes starting to droop.

But I stayed awake enough to know what his plan was. He had opened the air vent to attach a mess of wiring that connected to the teacher's lounge. His plan was to send a smell so terrible that even he wouldn't be able to stand it. It was supposed to be released when a majority of teachers had their break. All that talk of explanation that could have been so short ended up sounding like a novel. That's Leo for you. He just had to explain the technicalities of everything that he had done. I wasn't the only one bored out of their mind. Thalia had fallen asleep on Nico's shoulder while standing up. Hazel was curled up into a ball on a chair nearby with Frank seated by her side. Percy was asleep on another chair on the other side of the small room. Jason and I were seated on a small sofa near Percy. Only Annabeth was left standing up, talking to Leo about the wiring and different possibilities.

Everyone who had fallen asleep were woken up by Leo clashing two metal thingies together. I groaned along with everyone else.

"Guys, watch and be amazed." he said sounding all proud.

Leo took out a step-ladder and set it right under the open vent. He stepped up and started crawling his way into the air vent. All of the sudden, the air conditioning turned on. We all stared up at Leo. The air was sucking him in, but not all the way in since he was heavy due to all the muscle he had grown. The air conditioning stopped and we all waited for Leo to get down. But he didn't.

"Uh...guys. I think my head's stuck."

It took five hours to get his head unstuck. Two hours waiting for someone to come. One hour explaining what had happened. Two hours trying to get his head out since he was refusing to put butter on his head.

By the end of the day, Leo's head was finally unstuck and we were all left with a funny story to tell.

~End of Flashback~

Everyone had at least several new stories to tell by the end of the year. We all shared it with each other on the last day of school. Who could have ever believed that I would actually make friends and best of the best, a BOYFRIEND! Even if it had been a good school year, I was still glad that it came to end.

Jason and I were spending the summer together in my dad's beach house in Florida. And best of all, everyone else was coming and staying for a month. I couldn't wait.

Today was the last day of school, and I guess you can say that I was scared. I was graduating and my dad wasn't here for it for all I knew. I understood that he was busy, but for my graduation too? Why, not this one time, can he be here? I guess you can expect that if your dad was a famous star. Fame equals loneliness.

I was already dressed in my graduation gown along with everyone else. Time to get this show on the road.

They called our names one by one with me being last. Right before Jason left for the stage, I gave him one last peck on the lips and words of encouragement.

"Go get them Sparky." I said with a grin in which he returned and then left.

My stomach was starting to turn all queasy and my palms were starting to sweat. "Keep it together McLean. Just, one foot over the other." I thought to myself. Everybody else was already seated. I took a quick look at the seats and found my heart sink to find that my dad was not there. Not that I wasn't surprised, I had just hoped that this once...

"Piper Mclean." our principle called out. "You can do it McLean." I told my self one more time and stepped up on the stage.

Huge bright white lights blinded me as I made my way to the podium. The principle handed me my diploma and shook my hand. All the nervousness was gone and replaced with excitement. I took one last look at the crowd knowing that he would not be there, but I was surprised. My dad was running toward the seats. I already had a bug smile on my face, but somehow it became bigger. He had came. He had really came!

Tristen McLean was now seated with a look of exhaustion and proudness on his face. I felt just the same. Proud. For myself and my dad.

We all listened to the big speech said by our principle and valedictorian. They talked all about how we had all grown and made something of ourselves. They couldn't have been more right. After a series of photographs and hugging, the group was together again.

My dad had talked with me and promised me that he would try to spent more time with me. He left because he wasn't even scheduled to come here. I loved my dad.

The group all made small talk as we usually would, but now it was full of reminiscing and farewells. I was talking with Hazel about the beach house when I found a pair of strong arms encircle my waist. I turned around to find myself in the arms of my boyfriend, his arms still around me.

I smiled up at him and said, "You know, I don't think I ever said goodbye to you. I knew that I didn't need to because you will always be mine."

Jason only grinned wider and put a hand to my chin to lift my chin up to his face.

"Something I haven't ever told you is how beautiful you are, inside and out. Oh wait, I tell you that everyday, but you just can't make yourself believe." he whispered softly.

I put my arms around his neck and told him, "You make me believe that, Jason. I really do have everything I can ever need , here with you."

He leaned down to make our lips touch. Each time we kissed, nothing else mattered. Our surroundings became distant and it was just the tow if us. I really couldn't wish for more.

"Get a room you two." exclaimed Leo who said it with a grin.

That received him a thwack in the head. Oh Leo, when will he ever grow up?

We all met up at the party the valedictorian was hosting. There, we had as much fun as graduating high school students could ever be. I lost my virginity that day, but I didn't regret it. Leo had found himself a girlfriend that day too. We didn't say goodbye to each other knowing we will see each other again at some point.

Now, I walked the beach of my dad's beach house hand in hand with my boyfriend. There couldn't have been a better setting. I had always thought that I would grow up single, lonely, alone. Jason changed all that. He had changed my whole life for he is a huge part of it. Jason was my other half, the one thing that completed me. And I completed him. We were each other's puzzle pieces that had finally been found and put together.

Epilogue

Piper grew up marrying Jason and having two beautiful children. A girl, Jessie, and a boy, Will. Our groups never forgot each other, for we were a group of undividable friends.

Percy and Annabeth had gotten married with three children to which Piper and Jason were the godparents of two. Hazel married to Frank and they moved to China but occasionally visited the United States. Thalia and Nico got married with one little girl. Leo married his girlfriend and now was travelling the world with Percy and Annabeth.

Piper and Jason now lived in London, England with there little kids. I guess you can call it a happy ever after for theses friends.

Farewell to everyone.
