Thanks for your reviews! Here is more.

"How was your day?" Percy asked as we walked in his room.

I threw my bags across the room as Percy sat on his bed, "It was okay. I'm really tired, though. Everybody was asking about you at lunch."

"They were?" He asked.

"Not really. I just said that to make you feel better."

"Well, that's not nice!"

I wrapped my arms around him and sat on his lap, "What if I wasn't trying to be nice?"

He gently kissed me, but pulled away. "Annabeth, are you going to tell me what your dreams were about last night?"

"Yeah, it was about the war." I sighed. "I just kept on seeing where I took the dagger for you or Luke dying. It was like reliving the most horrific parts of the war last night. I hated it, Percy. I hated it!"

I noticed that tears were streaming down my cheeks. Percy must have noticed, too, because he held me closer. I rested my head on his shoulder as more and more tears streamed from my eyes. They wouldn't stop. No matter how many calming words Percy said to me, they just kept on coming. I couldn't do anything to stop it.

"It's okay, Annabeth. It's all over. They were just dreams. Memories," Percy reassured me.

"They were so life-like. I could see it all over again. I relived every terrible part of the war. I hated it!"

"The war's over. Kronos is gone. He can't hurt you anymore, you know that."

"I do, but-"

Percy interrupted me, "But nothing! You don't need to be afraid! I'll protect you through it all! No matter what."

His words weren't strict. They were soothing. They helped me calm down, but the tears didn't listen. Unfortunately, the tears just kept coming. I still couldn't stop them. It upset me.

"I know, Percy."

"Annabeth, I won't let anything bad happen to you. You know that, right?"

I looked into his eyes. He meant it. Percy would die for me. That made me feel even worse. Percy would die before he let these dreams get to me. They were only dreams, but Percy wanted to protect me through anything.

"I know. I love you, Percy." I sighed through the tears.

"I love you, too, Annabeth. Don't ever forget that!" Percy whispered into my ear as I rested my head on his shoulder again.

We just sat there. I didn't know how long we were in that position. Being ADHD, it was hard to measure those types of things. The best I could guess was a while. Before I knew it, Sally was barging in the room. She starred at us like we were crazy.

"Are you okay, Annabeth?" Sally asked.

I pulled away from Percy and looked at her, "Yeah, I am. It was just dreams."

"Do you need to talk about it?"

"I already did, but thanks." I muttered as I glanced back at Percy.

"Okay. Percy, you have some guests here." Sally told him.

"Who could be here for me?" Percy asked.

Sally turned out the door and called out, "They're in here! What are your names, again?"

Next thing I knew, Clarisse and Chris barged into Percy's room. They each had a suitcase and a separate bag for weapons and such.

"I'm Clarisse and this is Chris. Thanks Mrs. Jackson!" Clarisse repeated.

"Oh, sweetie, call me Sally! Yell if you need anything!" Sally shouted as she left.

Chris closed the door before I shouted, "What are you two doing here?"

"Chiron wanted us to check on you," Chris informed me.

"It seems as though we have interrupted something!" Clarisse sighed.

I wiped a tear from my face, "No, I was just telling Percy about my dreams last night."

"So, are you two staying here or…?" Percy asked.

Clarisse picked up a pair of Percy's boxers on the floor and threw it into the laundry basket, "Yeah, we are. Um, where are we sleeping?"

"You can take my room, Clarisse. I don't sleep in there anyways." I suggested.

"Where do you sleep?" She asked me. "You don't sleep with Jackson here, do you?"

I blushed. That answered her question.

"Chris, you can sleep with Clarisse or the couch in the living room." Percy told him.

"I'll sleep on the couch. Thanks." Chris replied.

"What do you do here? I mean, what's so interesting about Percy's room?" Clarisse asked me in particular.

"It's private, for one thing," Percy added.

Clarisse held up her one hand and pointed down her throat with the other, "Stop! Don't go on!"

"Clarisse, you have a boyfriend, you know, yet you still hate it when people talk about stuff they do with their boyfriends!" Annabeth reminded her.

"I just don't like it when people talk about girly stuff!" She complained.

"Girly?" Percy asked.

"You know what I mean, Jackson! I just don't wanna hear about it!" Clarisse commanded.

I got off of Percy's lap and took Clarisse's hand, "Come on, I'll show you to your new room!"

I dragged her off leaving Percy and Chris to talk about whatever guys talk about. I have no clue what guys talk about in their spare time. Normally, girls would talk about boys or something along that line. Gossip. Guys? I had no idea. There was so much that they could talk about. According to Percy and his friends during lunch, they talk about how far they get. That could or couldn't be the case.

"So, what's up with camp? I mean, I haven't been there in forever!" I sighed.

"Camp's good. Nothing bad is happening. Everything is normal. Well, there are a lot of new campers and kids getting claimed and stuff like that." Clarisse told me.

"How many more kids are there from last summer? I mean, it's been over a year since the war."

"Not that many. If they were claimed, it most likely has already happened. We've gotten in the usual haul."

"That's pretty good! Are the last cabins finished?"

"Yeah, we finished it about a month ago. It looks really good!"

"Great!"

"So, how's the new school? Do you like being with Percy?"

I fell down on the bed, "It's amazing! I love being so close to Percy! There are some girls that I don't like, but I've made friends. One girl is like Drew!"

She sat down next to me. I turned to face her. "I hate Drew!" She laughed.

"Doesn't everybody? I mean, besides the Aphrodite cabin and Caleb, her new boyfriend." I made a face when I said Caleb's name.

Caleb's the son of Hermes. He came to camp a few months after I did. I barely knew him. It took him two years for Hermes to actually claim him. By that time, he was twelve. I never really talked to him. I didn't need to.

"Yuck! I miss Silena. I don't mind Piper, but Silena was awesome!"

"I miss her, too. She was pretty awesome. Did you know that after I went with Percy to the Sea of Monsters, she told me that Percy liked me? I didn't believe it, but she kept on saying how we were totally going to end up together."

"That's so sweet. Of course she knew. I think everybody knew."

"Nobody knew about your love story, though! I didn't really expect you and Chris to get together!" I teased.

"Shut up! I expected it. I liked him for years. He just needed to ask me out. When I found him in the Labyrinth, I nursed him back to health. He finally asked me out!" She shouted so loud that I was for sure that they had heard us. Odds are they were eavesdropping on our conversation.

"How much of this conversation do you think the guys have heard?" I whispered.

"Most of it, probably. Wanna sneak up on them?"

I nodded. We snuck out of my room, Clarisse's new room, and tip-toed to Percy's room. We gestured for Sally to be quiet. She agreed and waltzed away laughing. When we opened the door, sure enough, they were in the bathroom, against the door. I slammed the door shut.

"Hey, dimwits! What are you doing over there?" Clarisse yelled.

The boys jumped in the air and whipped around to face us.

"What are you doing?" I asked as my arms crossed over my chest.

"We weren't listening in to your conversations!" Chris shouted in defense.

"It's just that we heard you two laughing and we were scared for Clarisse. It's not every day that she laughs." Percy yelled at us.

"So, you admit that you were listening to us?" Clarisse asked.

Percy came over and gave me a kiss, "It was Chris's idea!"

"It so was not!" Chris added before hugging Clarisse.

"It so was! Don't try to lie your way out of it!" Percy replied.

"I don't care who it was!" Clarisse yelled in Percy's ear.

"Don't eavesdrop on us! There will be Hades to pay if you do!" I told them.

"We just wanted to make sure Clarisse was okay. The only time she laughs like that is with me or when she was with Silena," Chris informed us.

I hugged Percy, "We weren't doing anything bad! We were just talking!"

"What do girls even talk about?" Chris asked us.

I sat on Percy's lap, on the bed, "Wouldn't you two like to know! We're not going to tell you!"

"Oh, come on!" Percy complained.

"Nope! Never!" Clarisse answered.

I looked at the clock. It was already midnight! Man, had me lost track of time. I decided that I should go to bed. I got into another of Percy's t-shirts and some basketball shorts. It wasn't very attractive, but it was surely comfy. We said goodnight to Clarisse and Chris and headed to bed.

Percy came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. He pressed his chest up against my back as I snuggled my head into the pillow. I was even more comfortable. He kissed my ear a few times.

"Are you ever going to tell me what girls talk about?" He whispered into my ear.

"Nah, I think I'll let you two figure it out! By the way, why were you two listening to us?" I asked.

"We wanted to know what girls talk about. You and Clarisse were very hush-hush about it. It was really hard to hear. All we heard was something about Chris. It was hard to hear!" Percy complained.

I laughed, "You weren't supposed to hear! That's the whole point!"

"I'm sorry." He muttered.

"You should be!" I joked. "Don't go listening in on our conversations. Some girls may not be as lenient as us."

"Oh, and you were lenient? You threatened us!"

"It's not like you didn't deserve it!"

"Hey, it was Chris's idea! Remember? I told you about it!"

"Oh, yeah. Is that true?"

"I wouldn't lie to you!"

"Oh? What do you call telling me that you only heard Clarisse yell and was worried about her? Is that not lying?"

"That doesn't count! I would never-ever-lie to you. I love you, wise girl."

"I love you, too, seaweed brain. Now, shut up and let me go to sleep. We still have school tomorrow!"

"What if I don't want to?' He asked as his fingers ran down to my hips and his lips touched my neck.

"You're going to have to because I'm going to sleep. Good night!" I cried as I shoved away his hands.

They ended up just finding their way back to my hips. He left his lips next to my neck, his breath beating down on me, but not kissing me. It felt reassuring. I loved it. In no time, I was asleep. Fast asleep. Nobody but my dreams. Those didn't go too well.

I dreamed about my first quest. The one where we went to get the lightning bolt from Hades, but after Ares fought Percy, gave Percy the actual lightning bolt. It wasn't a nightmare. I could actually sleep through this one. I didn't wake up screaming or slapping Percy. I slept pretty well, except for the whole reliving my first quest which was five years ago.
